Chapter 1 FULL BUT RUN DOWN
It was already 15:05 pm
The sacred bell rang, all binus students were very relieved to hear it, including xio. he arranged his textbooks and also patted his hair carelessly.
"Go to the cafeteria, I'm thirsty," said Xio to his classmate Rea.
"Well, come on, what about yesterday's ppt assignment?" asked Rea.
"Don't think about it, I'll do it later, relax," said Xio flatly.
"The best sii, there's no mistake I chose you, so let's buy a drink dahh"
"You're so excited, what the hell is going on?" said Xio excitedly.
"Xio" called one of the men from outside the class.
"Yes, why?" asked Xio
"There is a meeting tomorrow morning, please announce it to the wa group, we will talk about the mading literacy plan" explained the man flatly.
Xio just nodded and the man left.
....
"We're divorced, I'm tired of you" said Mita, who is known as Xio's biological mother.
"Well, if that's what you want, you think I'm cool living with you always looking for trouble" said Narendra.
Hearing the quarrel of his parents who have become so now decided to divorce.
Jleb
xio could not hold back all the tightness he was holding now collapsed his body to the very cold marble floor. As if someone attacked xio's body with a sharp, he felt that his life had fallen apart with his family that would be divided.
Narendra as the father of xio who saw his son's condition immediately ran to the main door of the house where xio was now sitting weakly. not yet had his father reached him, xio immediately left using his favorite scopy motorcycle
"Xio" Narendra called out to Xio.
Mita is now just silent staring at what just happened.
Xio pov
"Bangke, why do dad and mom never understand my feelings, why is it so easy to decide to divorce, I can't bear to see them separated, I can't bear it at all" xio whispered with a frantic feeling.
By the side of the lake precisely under the big tree is xio's place to calm himself, he always goes to that place which he thinks is quiet and no one will see him cry, he cries that's all he can do right now. the tightness in his chest made him even more chaotic, he couldn't stand everything anymore, xio closed his eyes and leaned his body against the big tree. accidentally he held an object that he really recognized its shape
"Is it a book?" she muttered to herself without opening her eyes. out of curiosity she opened her eyes and looked at the object she was holding and it was true that it was a book.
"Diary book?, means besides me there are other people who always come to this lake" said Xio full of investigations
Xio put the diary in his school backpack and went to his family's apartment because he didn't want to go home after what happened this afternoon.
....
The clock was already 19:30, Xio arrived at his family's apart which was on the 04th floor.
Arriving in the room he chose to take a shower with warm water to neutralize his body as well as his mind, after taking a shower and wearing his plain black nightgown, he was very hungry considering that after school he had not eaten anything. xio went to the kitchen, since xio was very hungry and did not want to be complicated he cooked instant noodles in the refrigerator.
The cooking program in the kitchen ended, Xio immediately ate the instant noodles she had made.
****
Remembering the diary that Xio had found near the lake
Xio took the diary and read it, it turned out that the diary belonged to a woman, the woman wanted to get married to a man who was the son of her mother's friend, the woman's name was Shiro, Shiro who was 22 years old still wanted to continue his career as a writer, but was forbidden by his mother because he was getting married and had to focus on his household, Shiro did not want to get married and he intended to run away from his mother's residence.
"Huff, nowadays it turns out that there is still an arranged marriage, even though if the marriage does not have a feeling of mutual love it will end in separation, like father and mother," he said with a wry smile.
Because she was tired and finally Xio was fast asleep on her soft bed.
....
Xio woke up from his sleep and to his surprise, he was near the lake where he always calmed himself down when he was not okay.
"Wee crazy, why am I here, last night I was on the apart why did I wake up near the lake" screeched xio
"Lah lah lah lah this againi why is my clothes different like this anyway?" asked Xio to herself.
She intended to wash her face at the edge of the lake, since the lake was very clear, and Xio was shocked by what she saw in the lake water.
He did not find his face but someone else's face
"Ouch, this is bad, this is bad, this dream must not be real, no, no, I'm dreaming, it's impossible to be bused," screeched Xio.
Xio tried to neutralize his feelings and then pinched his arm to make sure that this was just a dream.
And it turns out that this is real and not a dream
Jleb
Xio fainted at the edge of the lake
....
When the cold water hit his face he woke up and found himself with several strange men and also he was in an unfamiliar room but looked so luxurious
"S-who are you? And where am I?" asked Xio to the stranger.
"Really? You don't recognize me? It turns out you're still alive shiro, don't pretend to be dead anymore, stop all this drama, we won't be fooled again by your game!!" said one of the men.
After saying that, the man and his friend left Xio and locked the room.
"Hey, don't leave me alone here, let me out" ordered Xio.
But to no avail, no one listened to her, Xio stared at the room, for the first time she saw such a luxurious room, the room was a room, like royal royal rooms in general, very spacious even 5 times wider than her bedroom.
She looked around and found a mirror, she saw herself in the mirror.
Who am I? And Shiro? That name is familiar, and dead? When did I pretend to be dead? Well, I often say that I want to die but I never make a drama of dying bused, but if you look at me, I'm pretty too, but my clothes are really shabby," Xio muttered.
Xio looked at the closet and started looking for the clothes she wanted to wear.
Suddenly
Ceklek
The door opened to find a handsome man standing in front of the door.
"Hey, knock first if you want to come in" said Shiro.
"Should I knock on my own wife's door?"
"Yes, yes, with a girl you have to be polite" said Shiro while giving Davin a sardonic look.
Hahahahahahah
"You're cute like that, but it would be better if you acted gracefully and sweetly towards me" said davin while playing with shiro's hair.
"Stop being like that to me" Shiro slapped the hands of the handsome man.
"I'm your husband, and you're my wife, am I not allowed to touch you?" he said, raising his eyebrows at Shiro.
Part 2
"I'm not me."
"Who are you?" Xio asked the man.
"It's true, have you lost your memory that you don't recognize your own husband, Shiro?" the man continued.
"I'm not married, I have a husband" said Xio.
"You are my wife Shiro, you ran away the night after we got married, there is news circulating that you are dead, it turns out you are still alive, eat baby you must be hungry" said the man while putting a plate of food on the nightstand, then left Xio just like that.
"Shiro? Wait, isn't that the name of the girl I read about in the diary? I think so, but how come? Did I get into that girl's body? And if so, does that mean the guy who was there was Davin? Because Davin was the one mentioned in the diary, I have to find out all of this." said Xio
After changing her clothes and filling her hungry stomach, Xio began to find out about who she really was.
She started looking in various cupboards in the room, but she didn't find anything that told her who she was.
The door to the room began to open and now a middle-aged woman was seen in front of it.
"Mrs. Shiro, the master called me to his study," the woman said.
"Please take me there, I forgot where the study is, and your master's name is davin, right?" asked Xio confirming.
"Correct ma'am" said the woman briefly
🍷
Arriving at Davin's study, Xio saw some of the men she first saw in the room.
"You guys can go, I want to talk to my wife" Davin ordered.
"Okay boss" said one of the men.
"So, they are davin's members" Xio muttered in her heart.
"You really forgot me?" asked Davin seriously.
"I-I really don't remember, even I don't know who I really am, I forgot everything" lied Xio.
Actually, Xio had begun to understand that she was lying in the body of someone she read her diary that night, but Xio deliberately lied because she wanted to find out more about who Shiro really was.
"I'll tell you" said davin
!!! FLASH BACK AS SHIRO!!!
"I marry you davin erlangga to shiro argadara with a dowry of 300 million paid in cash" said the headman firmly.
"I accept the marriage and marriage of Shiro Argadara with a dowry of 300 million paid in cash" said Davin no less firmly.
"What are the witnesses?"
"Sahh"
Since then, Shiro's heart was broken, unlike other women who were happy and moved when they got married, Shiro was the opposite, he was very sad because Davin was not the man he loved.
After finishing with the wedding, Shiro fled to a lake, where that place was also where Xio calmed herself down.
Shiro couldn't stand it and didn't want to have to live with a man he didn't love, he poured out all his feelings in the diary he held.
After that he was rumored to have disappeared for 3 months, until finally shiro was declared dead, and since then the davin family and also shiro became strangers again.
FLASH BACK FINISHED
FINISH
"Since then I've never seen or heard from you, Shiro, where have you been?" Davin asked Shiro.
"I forgot davin, I don't know why I'm here and yes there is something you don't know, and when the time is right, I will tell you" Shiro lied.
"What are you hiding?" asked davin.
"Just wait" replied Shiro
Behind the window there was someone who was listening to their conversation, that someone was looking at Shiro with an unreadable gaze.
🍷
Xio went back to his room, and thought about how he could tell davin what really happened.
"How do I tell davin? I have to find out Shiro's true identity first," Xio whispered to herself.
Xio went to the main room, which was davin's room.
"Yes, there's no one, hopefully I'll get a clue" she whispered again.
Xio began to search every corner of the room as well as checking some of the cabinets in davin's room. arrived at davin's photo album. at first he only saw photos of davin's photos as a child until davin grew up. until his eyes fell on a wedding photo, he saw himself and also davin, but xio was surprised to see the date of the wedding photo taken. the photo was taken on March 28, 1999. xio realized that he was now living in 2023. while davin's statement to him, he disappeared since the last 3 months, xio was increasingly confused about what really happened.
Suddenly
Brukk
A stone wrapped in paper was thrown from the balcony of the room
Which reads
"I CAN ANSWER ALL YOUR QUESTIONS XIO!!!"
After reading the mysterious message, Xio shouted
"Who's there?" shouted Xio.
With a sense of doubt and also fear he ventured to see directly who the perpetrator was who threw the stone.
But Xio didn't find anyone there
"What is this, who threw this stone huh? and where did that person know my real name, no one knows my real identity, I have to find this person." he said investigatively.
Hearing the sound of shoes from outside the bedroom door, Xio hurriedly took the wedding photos and put the album back where it came from and then looked for a hiding place.
Ceklek
The door to the main room opened, it turned out that an ART came to clean the room, after the ART did his job he immediately left the room. xio felt safe to get out of his hiding place, he also hurried to leave the room with the evidence that had been obtained.
🍷
Xio saw the ART that he had seen earlier come to clean davin's room. xio started a conversation with the ART who was familiarly called mbok sumi
"Sorry, may I ask you something?" asked Xio.
"Yes, what do you want to know?" replied mbok sumi kindly.
"What year is it now, ma'am? I forgot about it." asked Xio with a grin while drinking her avocado juice.
"Madam forgot? It's 1999," replied mbok sumi casually.
Uhuk uhuk uhuk
Hearing that shocking answer, Shiro choked on his avocado juice.
"Uh, what's wrong, ma'am?" asked Mrs. Sumi while patting Xio's back to relieve Xio.
"It's okay, I'm just surprised, is it really 1999?" Xio asked once again.
"Yes, it's 1999," she replied again.
"Yes, I want to see the back garden first.
"Okay," said mbok sumi.
🍷
After arriving at the back garden of davin's residence, xio tried to calm her mind
And fell asleep on a comfortable chair in the garden to relax.
"This time I have to start acting like Shiro until everything is revealed," xio murmured.
Before she knew it, someone was sitting next to her and looking at her face with an unreadable gaze, Xio who felt it opened her eyes and found Davin beside her.
"Why shiro? What's bothering your mind?" asked davin to shiro.
"Nothing avin, I just want to enjoy this park" said Shiro.
"Put on this necklace, it's yours" davin ordered.
"Mine?" asked Shiro to confirm.
"Yes, it's yours" replied davin as he put the necklace on.
"Do you like it?" asked davin flatly.
"I like it a lot, thanks" said Shiro with a smile.
"I have to go, you don't have to go anywhere" davin asked his wife.
Shiro just nodded
Davin left Shiro alone.
"What will happen if Avin finds out I'm not Shiro?" said Xio.
Like telepathy, Davin could hear Shiro's thoughts.
Clearly.
"Sorry xio, I have to involve you to save my mom" said davin.
Part 3
"missing mom"
This morning Shiro looked so refreshed, he tried to balance his body as well as his emotions. He intended to do some gardening to neutralize his mood,
"Xio" called a man
"Sorry, my name is Shiro" said Shiro.
Because considering that no one knows about the transfer of Xio's soul, other than himself
"No need to pretend to me, I know that you are xio" said the man.
The man is familiarly called bian
"My name is Bian" said Bian.
"Bian? That name is familiar to me" said Xio.
"I'm davin's younger brother" explained Bian.
"Sister? I just found out that davin has a sister" replied xio surprised.
"I'm his hidden sister" muttered Bian to himself.
"How do you know about me?" asked Xio.
"Because I got you involved xio, I brought you here" replied Bian casually.
"What? You brought me? How is that possible. Who are you really?" asked Xio flatly.
Actually, Xio was surprised, but she hid it.
"In the future you will find out, I will always be near you, will take care of you Xio, sorry for involving you" asked Bian.
"But? What is your purpose in taking me? And does time move backwards?" asked Xio.
"Hahaha, you're so innocent, time doesn't move backwards it's just that you go back to your past that you haven't had time to complete" Bian said.
"Past? I don't understand at all" confused Xio.
"Gradually you will understand, and your time here is only 2 weeks, for 4 days you will know everything, then the mission will begin" said Bian.
Then she left Xio with her own thoughts.
Mission? What mission? asked Xio
But Bian didn't answer.
🍷
Suddenly the necklace used by Shiro lit up, he wondered why his necklace could light up, the necklace emitted a red color
"Hey, why does this necklace light up?" said Shiro.
Suddenly he felt a very extraordinary headache
"Agrrrr, sakittttttt" triak shiro
Then the glow got bigger and bigger.
The wind was very strong and Xio was surprised that he was back in his room.
"Lohh my room"
Xio couldn't believe it then looked in the mirror and it was true that he was back in his world.
"Morning? I have a meeting, can you still prepare for school?"
Xio hurried to shower and go to school
Arriving at school, on time the school bell and yes
Someone's shouting managed to attract Xio's attention
"Xioooo" triak rea
"What the hell, you're already triaking in the morning, what a habit," said Xio annoyed.
"Eheheh, sorry deh, by the way, Kevin was looking for it, he said today you have a meeting" told Rea.
"Yes, I remember, in the school hall, right?" asked Xio.
"Ho'oh, the others are already waiting for you, hurry up there" told Rea.
"Yes, really nagging" said Xio annoyed.
🍷
"You took so long to come" said Kevin while smiling at Xio.
"Why are you smiling like that, you crazy person" said Xio.
"Eh you are, btw you are beautiful today" said Kevin casually.
Dugg, Xio who heard that was like a butterfly tickling her stomach
"Ishh damn, Kevin has made my heart fall out in the morning," said Xio silently.
"What the hell are you, eakkk" said Xio.
"Jiahkk, you're baper, you're said to be saucy, but you're really saucy," teased Kevin.
"Come on, let's meet" said Xio.
*****
Davin prov
Davin was restless, he went here and there looking for Shiro's whereabouts, he tried to use his senses to find Xio.
Suddenly the ring used by Davin emitted a light like the light of Shiro's necklace.
"Lit up? That means Shiro is now in his world" Davin felling.
"Agahrr, why am I so anxious like this anyway, davinn remember it's not shiro, it's xio they are different, later xio will come back again." said davin trying to calm himself.
Davin immediately went to the basement, where only he, Bian, and also his mother knew the room.
🍷
"Mom, I miss you," said Davin while looking at his mother's photo.
It didn't feel like clear water was coming out of davin's eyes.
"So whiny, the eldest son can't cry, he's weak" mocked Bian.
Who out of nowhere was already beside davin.
"Can we save mom? I'm afraid I'll never see her again, hiks hiks" said davin with difficulty.
"It should be possible, Shiro is here, he will help us to complete this mission, mom will be safe, calm down, I sent Xio back to her world, because I was afraid that her activities would be interrupted because of helping us, I have to go back to the world, I have to take care of Xio." said Bian while rubbing her brother's back.
"Bring him back, I miss him too." said davin.
"Miss? When did you get used to Shiro's existence?" probed Bian.
"I don't know," said Davin, not wanting to say much.
"You like Xio right? Do you like her?" said Bian with an unreadable look.
"I only love Shiro, not Xio, they are different" said Davin briefly.
For some reason, Bian immediately smiled at his brother's statement.
"Well, if that's the case, I hope you're not lying to me" said Bian.
"Lying? I'm not lying to you, are you in love with Xio?" investigated Davin.
"No."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"But I see the lie in your eyes," said Davin originally.
Davin only guessed, actually Davin didn't know and never found out about his sister, as well as Bian, he never said his feelings, Bian was used to keeping everything to himself, because he thought it was pointless to say his feelings, no ads really understood him.
"A-a, I'm not lying" replied Bian.
"If you're not lying then why are you nervous bian, hmm?"
"T, no, not at all. I didn't lie to you" Bian replied nervously and hurriedly.
"Do you think I'm stupid? I understand you Bian, you're lying to me, I can understand your tone, but okay I'll take it as true, but if it's true that you like Xio it doesn't matter either" Davin explained very carefully.
From the beginning, davin always understood his brother's actions, but he pretended not to care, as if closing himself to whatever happened to his brother, even though davin always watched his brother.
"It's up to you, if you don't trust me it doesn't matter, I don't need your opinion" said Bian while leaving Davin alone.
"Mom, look at your son, he behaves like a 10 year old, so careless he is not even good at lying at all, and how dare he lie to me, maybe he forgot that I am his brother" monologue davin.
