I sat on the chairs thinking about this box with a keyhole which I don't know where is the key so, I search again to every corner of this house just to find the key. I did that for almost 12 hours and it's afternoon but I don't know if I can find it through the night so I rather clean up the mess first before I continue searching for that key.
Meanwhile, I was cleaning one of the rooms where my grandfather lives when I notice some kind of strange rectangular shape inside the cabinet. I tried to look at it more closely until I found out that it was a small drawer without a holder but just a keyhole again. So, how am I supposed to unlock it if I don't know how can I open what was inside the keyhole? I was thinking when my stomach crumbled. Oh, shoot! I forgot to cook for lunch! Maybe I will back later after I ate lunch. And to tell you frankly my stomach is now begging me to feed it. I only cooked the easier dish which is cup noodles. I don't have more time so I only cooked this. After I ate my lunch I went again inside to my grandfather's room which is next to my room here in this house.
Now I was thinking of how can I opened the drawer when someone outside knocks on the doors three times that makes me startle because there's no one else aside from Evan knows that I already here inside my grand father's house so who might be it? I went downstairs and before I opened the door I peek in the hole so I may know who's outside the house.
I saw Evan is waiting outside. I sighed in relief I thought my friend from the city knows where my grandfather's province. As soon as I opened the door Evan quickly went inside and looked at the window, he seems to be a little bit nervous the way he breathes heavily as if someone is trying to catch him.
"Hey, you okay?" I asked worriedly he looked at me first then he entered, locked the doors, and look back at the window.
"Y-yeah, sorry if I disturb you if you're doing something right now. Someone is trying to kill me so I don't have a choice but to hide somewhere where is safe when I remembered where you live so I grabbed the opportunity to hide here if you're still here or not. Luckily you're here. This is just only for today, tomorrow I'll go back to my house if I made sure that they haven't following me." He said still glued in the window.
"It's okay as long as you're safe I don't mind," I said. He smiled awkwardly and replied as a thank you. Until he notices that I'm holding a strange box with a keyhole.
"Hey, you found the box." He said which made me confused why would he know about the box? He gets something inside his pockets and gave it to me. It is a gold key the top of its head looks like a curse or skull.
"Why are you giving me this key?" I asked.
"I think that's the key to the drawer in your grandfather's cabinet. My grandfather gave this to me when I was young, and I know that your grandpa and my grandpa are best friends that is why he entrusted his stuff to him." Evan replied as he gave me the gold key.
"Thank you, this means a lot to me," I said he just nod continued looking outside in the window. While I entered my grandfather's room and opened the cabinet I hope it works.
I slid the key into the keyhole and it fits! The keyhole is now unlocked and when I opened to know what was inside. Another key that caught on my attention. I think this is the key to this box. I again slid another key into this keyhole and it fits again, I open the box and saw what I was looking for.
It was a black notebook covering with red strings on the top of its head. I notice that there's a red mark on every page which made me confused. I was about to open the book when Evan suddenly entered the room and closed the door immediately. I looked at him and he was nervous. He walked to where am I standing and he grabbed me by the arm towards the window. That looks so suspicious to me. But why? We're now at the edge of the window when I asked him.
"Hey what happened and why are you rushing towards the window?" I said his face turned pale and his body is shivering. I can see through his eyes that he was afraid of something or someone outside the room.
I pulled out my hand to his grip and I was about to reach the door when he holds my arms tight saying that doesn't open the door. So I stepped backward and faced him, looked in the eye, and make him speak.
"They are here, they must be searching for me here. We need to get out of here now before they see me, us." He said. For the moment he said that I got clues who might them be. But I need to make sure that my guess is correct. I'm still wondering why they would search for him? Did he do something bad that makes them chased him?
"What did you do to make this happened to you? They wouldn't search for you if you did anything against them?" I asked still focusing on the door. Evan is now on the roof because he went outside the window with the help of me.
"I did nothing okay? They just want me to work with them! But I decline their offer as soon as I knew that their group was an organization, it was a Black Syndicate, I declined their offer to me. They found out that I can make a Robotic Machine, that's the start they chasing me. I manage to escape but not too long, they want my brain so I can make them Robotic Army." He said. So that's the reason why they were chasing him. I helped Evan got out in my grandfather's house. We exited through the window and went outside the gate. We finally get out of my house when I notice someone not far out from us. It was Rhea! One of my former friends but what is she doing here? Does she know where I live? I was about to tell Evan when he sees her. Evan stretches out his arm for Rhea to notice him when she saw me her eyes wide in shock we finally approached her, as soon as Rhea saw us she opened the car doors and let us in.
I looked at her appearance, nothing's changed except her looks and her skin. She's still pretty just like the old times when we were little, she has beautiful eyes that sparkling every time the lights hit them. Her hair was still black and short. But the difference is she had banged on the top of her head, she was now driving when she spoke.
"Philip is that you???" She asked. I nod awkwardly because I don't know how to talk to her.
"Oh my gosh! Evan! Why you didn't tell me about this??" She said and asked Evan about me.
"Sorry I forgot. Besides Philip doesn't want you to know that he's already here in Metro Town. We just bump to each other earlier that is why I met him." He said awkwardly. Then Rhea suddenly stepped on the brake that caused us to bumped our head.
"Ouch! Why did you do--" Evan cut short because Rhea choked him facetiously.
"Hey! Hey! Stop it!" I shout at her. And trying to pull hard her gripped Evan.
"And you!" She said and pointing at me. "Why don't you want me to know that you already here huh? We're friends since we were young then now you're doing this to me!?" She said.
"I'm sorry, I don't want to cause trouble for all of you that is why I wanted to be alone., I said. Rhea sighed and start the engine as we continue to drove somewhere. We were silent for a moment when something flashed in my mind. It was Rhea and Evan!
Evan created a Cyborg half human and half machine. It was like an Astro boy in the movies. While Rhea got machine guns but the gun was different, instead the bullet was inside the gun it was laser beams. Evan created those weapons for us to make ourselves had protections, he even gave me a weapon which is Bow and Arrows the difference is it was made with electronics. I don't need an Arrows just a gesture it will make direct arrows. It was so amazing! It was like I'm one of the characters in the Avengers action movies that I been watched recently and because of being a genius and scientific professor. He has the right to create anything he wants even some kind of weapons. It was Hi-Tech Electronic devices. It's so cool! Then I went back to my senses which is I'm still in the car where Rhea is still driving and Evan is still using his mobile phone. Does my timeline never change? But how does it happen? I knew that I dream about that but why my timeline did not change?
