Before the fallout, the world government announced to all humans that they had lost the war. Now they have asked the world only one thing and that was to hide.
In 2100, at the beginning of the 22nd century. The space explorer discovered an unknown extraterrestrial on the border of our solar system.
A few months after, they tried to connect with that unknown being without any caution.
In 2101, the first interspace war had begun. That unknown alien was not just strong but also violent, after the team that tried to connect with that creature. The first thing the alien done was not run away but eat the leading man before the eyes of his teammates.
Because of the advancement of technology, humanity had reach the level of reforming an inhabitable planet.
But war destroyed all the progress the PRM or planet reforming mission. It was an accumulation of the world's best scientists and engineers and etch.
That didn't make the world government rage instead, they started to worry because it means that the army is retreating at a fast speed.
The destroyed progress only means that they had abandoned the planet to refuge on another planet.
With unease, the world government announce to all the earth dwellers that they were at war secretly with an alien called Koqrots. The government then announced to all countries to start implementing training for the incoming war.
Just before the world was getting ready, unfortunate news had just arrived from space.
We lost
Just two words made the whole world quiet.
Then the world government with gritting teeth announced to all humans out there to be ready to retreat.
Bunkers were already built all over the world, from mountains or plains and even in rivers or oceans.
Now they only had one task and that was to hide, the humanity must be preserved.
We must not go extinct
With that last message, the world government also was busy retreating to their own bunkers.
...
On the far east of pangea.
A huge ship with thousands of retreating humans was on board. They can clearly see the unease and nervousness on each other faces.
Well, who will be so calm with this situation when they knew that they were about to go extinct.
While humanity has already gone far from its medieval technology is still about to be extinct.
"Father, I am scared!"
"It's ok honey, I'll protect you"
Inside the ship, there was a room with a middle-aged guy with his teenage girl cuddling with each other because the room was bare, the coldness of the steel decreased the coldness of the room.
" Father, is it true that we are about to be annihilated? "
The teenage girl look at her father with a fearful face. Her voice was shaken but you can't deny her beautiful voice, it was like a breezy afternoon air, so refreshing to the ears.
Hearing his daughter's fearful tone, the father sighed and said.
"Unfortunately, it was true. The war between ours and that alien was our loss but I know that we will be going safe after we go to the shelter.
But in the father's head, he just signs. He knows with this many people on board, food will be a hard topic. The chaos also after the settlement, he knows it will also happen.
But the father can't say that to his insecure daughter.
'Why did this happen'
He sighs in his head and remembers all the memories that he had when the world is still at peace.
His name was Helbert Diablo because he graduated from a high standard school, and he quickly got his job. Years of hard-working left him dry for love, but still because he was very smart and knows where to lick he quickly rise to the top of his job.
At the age of 32, he had risen to be the CEO of the company that he was working for. Everyone was happy for him, but also there were people envy him because he already got what everyone wanted. Yet he knows himself that he was still empty inside.
He thought that he will be alone for a long while, but fate made a joke for him. He still remembers where the two of them first meet, he still remembers the cute dimples on her smile, the innocence in her eyes, and her pretty face.
He stalk her for a while and discovered that she was from a family of a politician at that time she was still 28.
He also remembers his foolishness when he discover that she was also live-streaming because he had money to spare he tried to buy her a drink with his subscription but he only got a sharp no.
But it didn't make him sad, it only made him want more. He was like a creepy uncle ready to swallow a little girl.
So he pesters her more until she raises a white flag, at that time he felt a butterfly on his stomach after receiving a yes.
On his first date with her, he thought that it will be perfect because he already planned it out all for her but only to be wasted.
That girl's cheekiness was very amusing that he can smile forever just remembering it, it was because that girl after knowing that he had a car tried to make him a chauffeur for her trip.
He still remembers her smug face after tricking it to him with her arms crossed, but that scene only burns in his head forever.
But for me that time, it was enough. It will not be an overstatement if everyone said that I became her simp.
We grow closer to each other, we started to share our secrets with each other.
Her face after knowing that I am a CEO was very... precious. With a gaping mouth and wide eyes, she even point her hands at me saying that I was a liar.
But nothing changed with us after saying that I was a CEO, she was still as cheeky as ever, and me... it was still the simp that she knows.
We started to be closer with each other to the point that she even introduce me with her chat.
At that point, she also introduces me to her parents. At that time I don't know where we are going, only ended up at her parent's house. I was like a child following his sister to an unknown place. He still remembers her bright smile while introducing me to her father, his glaring eyes were about to burn my t-shirt but her mother was gentle with me.
At that time I was confused, so after she bring me out. I ask her with nervousness in my eyes
" What are...we?"
I still felt the throbbing of my heart, I even felt the veins on my head pump crazily.
I also still remember when my heart froze after she said " Jerk, obviously we are best friends"
It shatters my heart only to be healed by her soothing lips.
That time I only remember her back, I don't even remember how long I stand at that place and when I reach home.
After that time we became even more close. We started to dine every day, or if she wants to travel I will be there for her.
We became so close that she will even loiter in my office when I was working, At that time, even if I was busy I can leave without a worry because I had everything planned.
At the end of that year, under the shower of fireworks. I kneel before her hand.
Her cheekiness was reduced after she wear the ring, every day when I was with her she will always fiddle with it. That time warms my heart every time she does that.
And one thing that will never leave my head is when she was walking down the aisle.
She was wearing a white gown, walking with her head down.
That time I was crying silently, and so did she. We know each other that was not sadness... only happiness.
Under the blessing of heaven and her parents, I kissed her.
I felt that I was the happiest man alive, I feel that have everything when she was with me.
Every day like a virtuous wife she will wait for me when I go home, and pull a prank after I eat. Her laughter always heals my exhaustion, and her smile made my day brighter.
That time I even thought that even if I was a simp at least I still got my goddess, after I said that to her she tease my whole day making me regret telling it to her.
It only made my happiness reach a new peak when she teasingly said that she was pregnant. At that time I remember that after I go home, she full a prank on me that made me very mad only to be silent.
With the dipstick in front of my eyes and her other hands on her hips, I amusingly also remember her smug face when she shows it to me.
It was like a downpour of cold water, it made my whole body shake.
I reach my hand to the dipstick and look closely at that "II"
At that time I was crying very cheerily, it even made her panic. I knew her, she was not good at comforting other people so she only hug me with a twitching smile. I think she was thinking that she marry a crybaby.
But I know in my heart... I was very happy.
A few months later, I heard the very first pleasing cry that I heard in my life. She was so beautiful.
I remember the scene when she was with her mother, she was in her mother's arms... that time it felt like they were my world.
Years passed, and my happiness only grow. Together with her, we look at our daughter with loving eyes.
Together we heard her first word, together we saw her walk, together we saw her meet her first friend, there was so much that I can't even remember all of them but I know... that was my happiness.
That little brat even inherit her mother's bad habit, it was like she was a carbon copy of her mother. The two even were mistaken as sisters.
The two keep pranking me, it made me annoyed but at the same time happy but more annoyed.
I just wish that last forever, the scene with her and me and our little bell.
It's... heartbreaking.
We don't know when but she had cancer.
I resent the whole world from that day on, every day I take care of her even if I leave my company.
But with her smugness still remaining on her face, she berates me for not taking care of her daughter for her and leaving his company.
She even smugly said that this cancer is just a small fry with her strength. Even though I was smiling at her, after I go outside that door I can't endure my tears.
It was... so sad
I just want to carry all the pain for her.
I thought that she was gaining strength, I thought that she was recovering, I thought that... we can be together forever.
But why... did you leave me
With her in my arms, she closes her eyes quietly, while my tears stream down...
After she passed away, I neglect the world and only focus on my carrier. I want to ease my pain... I just want her.
I even neglect the only thing she left but I can't face my daughter. Knowing that I can't even protect her mother.
She was my world, now that she was gone... can I still live?
I was in that state for a long time, until someone woke me up.
I forget that I had two worlds... Now I only live for her.
I'll protect her even if I dirty my hands with blood, even if I broke my body even if I can't stand up anymore... I'll protect her
But why does heaven looks like had resent me?
Together on a small lifeboat, an old man with two teenage girls faces a tsunami on their front and a flaming ship on their back with many people running away from it.
Just why?
