"Do you understand why I took you here?" I asked.
Alfi is sitting in front of me without saying a word.
"Alfi, please speak. I know that it's hard, but it won't end if you keep silent like this" Mitsuha persuaded him.
"I understand..." Alfi said.
"Speak up," I said.
"I can't..." Alfi said.
"Do you have a good reason why you can't do that?" I asked him firmly.
"I... I CAN'T FIGHT WITHOUT DESTROYING MY SURROUNDINGS YOU DUMBASS!" Alfi yelled at me.
"I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANY REASON FROM YOU! WHAT DO YOU THINK I MADE 12 HOLY WEAPONS FOR YOU FOR?!" I yelled at him.
"DON'T BLAME YOUR GOD FOR SUCH CASE! ISN'T YOU ARE THE ONE WHO ASKED FOR IT SO THAT YOU COULD IMPRESS THE READERS? AND, FYI, IT'S A NATURE OF A VILLAIN TO DESTROY EVERYTHING IN THEIR WAY. YOU ARE THE HERO AND YOU CAN'T DO THAT!" I yelled at him.
"HEY, I DIDN'T ASK YOU TO MAKE ME BECOME A HERO. THEY ARE JUST A BUNCH OF MORONS WHO GIVE A WIDE SMILE IN FRONT OF CAMERA WHILE HAVING DONUTS. I DO THIS SO I CAN LIVE WITH ALL OF THEM. LIKE I CARE ABOUT THE OTHERS!" Alfi yelled at me.
"SAY AGAIN AND YOU'LL KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT."I treated him.
"OH YEAH? WHAT A NEET LIKE YOU CAN DO ANYWAY?!" Alfi yelled at me.
"That's enough!" Mitsuha hit both of our heads. "No more fight! I am getting dizzy reading all those caps over there." She added pointing up.
"Sorry, ma'am." We apologized with bumps on our heads.
"Honey, please allow me to talk to Alfi," Mitsuha said.
"Fine." I let her to.
"So, Alfi. Desope took you here as he's anxious." Mitsuha said.
"What do you mean?" Alfi asked.
"He worries that if you destroy anything in Tirta Empul, the police will come here and imprison him. You must know how sensitive Indonesian are regarding this issue regardless most of them don't care about such a thing." Mitsuha said anxiously.
"Ain't that good?" Alfi asked.
"HEY!" I feel irritated.
"I guess you still don't get it what will happen if that happens," Mitsuha said.
"Death sentence?" Alfi asked.
"Worse than that," Mitsuha said anxiously.
"What do you mean?" Alfi asked.
"You are the other self of the real him. You should have known what I am talking about, shouldn't you?" Mitsuha asked.
"Nope, I got nothing in my mind," Alfi said.
"Well, you know that his life is so pathetic that he has to create me as the figure of his wife and this story to make his life more meaningful..." Mitsuha explained.
"Then?" Alfi asked.
"Then, if that happens, he won't be able to write anymore. Not to mention the other inmates and even the wardens may bully and intimidate him non stop. He will be known as a trash and a perfect figure of greatest human' disgrace. His life will be more pathetic that he loses his ability to imagine anymore, and the worst scenario is, he will commit suicide on his will." Mitsuha explained.
Alfi sees the pathetic me. He then gets up and walks to my book.
"Are you happy with your life?" Alfi asked.
"Very. You may say that I am a coward NEET who doesn't fucking care about the society, yet I enjoy my life. It's just enough for me." I explained.
"How pathetic. But, if it's fine by you, I'll try not to mess it up." Alfi asked.

"Thank you, Alfi," Mitsuha said in relieved hugging me.
"Mitsuha, please take care of this moron," Alfi said jumping back to my book.
'Alfi.' The guy spoke up.
'Have we met before?!' Alfi asked surprised.
'Have you forgotten me already?' He asked.
'Koji, do you know this guy?' Alfi asked.
'Not at all.' Koji replied.
'If I don't know you, it means you are not so important in my life.' Alfi asked.
The guy bursts out laugh.
'It seems your bad habit hasn't gone yet, right? Do you remember Bunga?' He asked.
'What?!' Alfi looks agitated all of sudden.
'Bunga?! It means you are...' Koji becomes agitated too
'Bunga?' Kartika looks confused.
'Is that you... Leo?' Alfi asked.
The guy puts his smile on his face.
'Finally, you remember me. Is this the kind of guy who will marry my sister?' He said.
"Marry?! What does it mean, Alfi?" Kartika said in her inward looking at the agitated Alfi.
'Leo, Bunga's big brother. I can't believe you join with Waku-waku.' Alfi said.
'What is the big deal? Do you, the Alfa who will marry my sister, dare to hurt her beloved brother?' Leo asked. 'Oh, who is that woman? Are you cheating on my sister? Naughty, naughty.' He added taking a glance to Kartika.
Leo turns himself into a cheetah and dash to Kartika's direction. Alfi then draws Shikulo and quickly punches Leo's head and releases the shock wave from Shikulo shoving Leo crashing the stone pathway that he returns to normal.
'Don't you dare to hurt her! She has nothing to do with it!' Ancam Alfi. 'Are you okay, Kartika?' He added.
Leo then gets up and says, 'As I thought, you cheat on her. It's unforgivable!'
Leo then turns himself into an eagle and packs his wing releasing a great wind to them three. Koji then quickly unsheathes his sword and strokes the blade that the blade is covered by fiery flame.
Koji then jumps and exclaims, 'Sayap Merah! (Vermilion Wing)'
Koji hit the ground with his sword and suddenly, the crack is spreading fire from Koji's left and right wiping that great wind.
'You know, you did say that you would be reach before departing to Bali. I thought you would be a gigolo here, yet you become a bumpkin here instead. I guess it suits you.' Alfi said calmly.
'Are you trying to upset me? I'm sorry, such a trick isn't just enough for that. Here, to make this fight more interesting, beat me and I'll tell you Bunga's whereabouts.' Leo said.
'What did you say?! What have you done to her?!' Alfi enraged.
'Make me.' Leo said turning himself into a hawk and flying into the sky.
'You son of a bitch!' Alfi enraged.
'Alfi, honey, calm down.' Megumi tries to soothe him.
'Megumi! Weapon number 11!' Alfi exclaimed.
'But...'
'Now!' Alfi yelled at her.
Megumi then presses number 11 halation, and eleven pebbles appear from his bracelet. Those pebbles are surrounding him, and he clasps his hands controlling those pebbles to weld them into one big stone that can be ridden by him. Alfi then jumps to it, and the stone flies following Leo fast.
'Koji, who is Bunga anyway?' Kartika asked.
Koji seems hesitated.
'Don't worry, I am just curious.' Kartika said.
'Bunga is the women he dears most.' Koji said.
Kartika looks shocked.
'Believe it or not, they had loved each other since they were children that they were inseparable, yet something happened to her on that day.' Koji said.

'What happened to her?' Kartika asked.
Koji fires fireball from his glasses upwards wiping the great wind which was sent by Leo from the sky.
'Enough talk. We have to assist him now!' Koji exclaimed firing some firebirds from his glasses.
Those firebirds are flying to Leo's direction. Leo turns around and flaps his wings wiping those birds. The enraged Alfi keeps shooting fireballs from T41 gun. He then draws the magic curtain and throws it to the sky. The magic curtain then flies to Leo's direction. Leo is trying to wipe the magic curtain with his wind, but it's just not enough to wipe a holy weapon like the magic curtain. Leo swiftly maneuvers to avoid the magic curtain.
'It's just not enough!' Leo exclaimed.
'I still have a card up my sleeve!' Alfi enraged stretching his Iru arm.
Now Leo is being chased by fireball, magic curtain and Alfi's Iru arm. Leo is trying to maneuver as fast as possible to make Alfi's arm get caught by the magic curtain and get burnt by his own fireball. When Leo manages to dos so, Alfi's Iru arm is getting bigger and wholly covered by fiery flame.
'What?!' Leo is shocked.
'Too bad. The magic curtain in unable to attack its user. If it by any chance catches me, it will strengthen me significantly instead!' Alfi exclaimed.
'I shouldn't have underestimated you!' Leo exclaimed agitatedly.
Alfi's Iru arm slaps Leo that he is falling crashing the stone pathway. Alfi then lands and quickly strangles Leo.
'Tell me where she is!' Alfi enraged.
'Alfi...' Kartika is trying to approach him.
Koji then holds her back and shakes his head.
'Leave his alone.' Koji said.
Leo just laughs.
'Like the hell, I will.' He said arrogantly.
Alfi jabs his face.
'Still, don't want to speak?' Alfi asked firmly.
'Just hit me, it won't do anything.' Leo said. 'What would happen if she sees you like this? A pathetic NEET with a future full of agony. Do you think she still loves you?' He asked.
Alfi is pissed off.
'What? Are you mad? So the likes of you is able to be mad, eh? Oh well, you are heartless anyway. You always get in my way to do it with my sister. If you weren't there, I would have done anything I want to her as what you have seen on R-18 Doujinshi!' Leo keeps provoking Alfi.
'You disgusting sleazy siscon asshole!' Alfi throwing him crashing that stone wall that he splashes into the pool. WTF ALFI! WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU DONE, YOU ASSHOLE?!!!!
Alfi is panting heavily. Koji and Kartika look reluctant to approach Alfi. Suddenly, something runs in their direction.
'Shit!' Koji exclaimed trying to unsheathe his sword.
Koji and Kartika get sent flying to the sky in a jiffy. Alfi looks shocked and agitated.
'How long will you mock me, Leo?' Alfi asked firmly.
'I will always mock you that you are afraid of living anymore!' Leo who has turned into a giant lion exclaimed.
'Lion, eh? Is this your strongest form?' Alfi asked.
'Are you scared? In this form, I have gained the same strength, speed, and wildness of a lion. I am the lion king! I'm gonna tear you apart!' Leo exclaimed.
'Disgusting!' Alfi exclaimed in disgust. (lion king (in Indo, Raja Singa) is a term of a genital disease: syphilis)
Leo then rushes to Alfi's direction in high speed.
'Die!' Leo exclaimed.
Alfi doesn't move for an inch. When Leo is about to attack Alfi, Alfi suddenly pierces Leo's body with Tipit.
'Playtime is over!' Alfi exclaimed hitting Leo's head with Loplipop that his face crashing planted on the ground.
'You have hurt my friends!' Alfi exclaimed hitting Leo's body with Loplipop very hard that Leo gets bounced crashing that nearby traditional house that the house becomes a total mess. Ah great, I'm really in trouble now.
Leo looks weakening that he has no energy to get up. Alfi is walking in his direction with a cold gaze on his face. When Alfi is finally in front of Leo, Alfi draws Shikulo and hits Leo with no mercy. Kartika, who can't stand to see it anymore, runs and hugs his back, yet Alfi keeps hitting Leo without realizing her presence.
'Alfi, please stop it! It;'s enough! Please come back to your sense!' Kartika exclaimed trying to soothe Alfi.
Alfi is currently overwhelmed by his anger. He is totally corrupted by his wild lust that he is unable to control himself. Even Koji has no idea what to do but watch. Meanwhile, in Alfi's mind, he sees a precious memory of his.
It happened 2 years ago, Alfi was with a long-haired woman in a simple living room.
'Are you okay?' Alfi asked her anxious.
'I am okay, Alfi. Thank you.' She said.
'How dare they did that to you.' Alfi looked upset.
She wiped his cheek with a handkerchief.
'Ouch.' Alfi's cheek felt stung.
'The bruise must be taken care of immediately. Hold it for a sec, kay?' She said.
Alfi let her take care of his bruise.
'You know, I am happy that you protected me back there, yet I am also sad.' She said.
'Don't worry. It is my job to protect you, right?' Alfi was trying to cheer her up.
'Well, but 5 on 1? You pushed yourself too hard.' She said putting a bandage on his cheek.
'Trust me, I had the worse one than that.' He said.
She then touched both of his cheeks.
'But, you also make me worry. No matter how strong you are, my heart will be shattered if I see you get hurt like that.' She said.
'Bunga...' Alfi said blushed.
She then takes two stalks of roses, the red one and yellow one from the vase beside her.
'Do you know the meaning of both of them?' Bunga asked.
'What? Their meanings are same, aren't they?' Alfi asked.
'No honey, you are wrong. Though they are same, the color differs in their meanings.' She said.
'Tell me more.' He asked interestedly.
'Rose is a symbol of love, because of the beauty that makes everyone loves it, yet the thrones are it is bestowed with thrones to protect it from those who want to pluck it. It's just like us who often ignore our surroundings and showing our beauty to our surroundings though paradoxically we only care about our dearest ones. To put it simply, the rose is like me who always ignore everyone and love you only.' Bunga explained.
'Then, what about the color?' Alfi asked.
'This one.' Bunga said showing the red one. 'is the symbol of love.' She explained.
'And this one.' Bunga said showing the yellow one. 'is the symbol of sadness.' She explained.
'What kind of sadness?' Alfi asked.
'Heartache, anxiety, worries, something like that.' She said.
Alfi remained silent.
'Alfi, if I were a rose, I would turn into yellow every time I see you get hurt. I am sad because I am afraid. I am afraid of losing you.' Bunga sobbed.
'Do you really feel so?' Alfi asked.
Bunga hugged Alfi tightly in a sudden.
'I do. I feel so because I love you. I don't want you to get hurt because of me. So, if it happens again, we'd rather run away together. As I am sure, they also have their own roses.' Bunga asked.
'OK.' Alfi said hugged her.
'Promise me.'
'I promise you.'
Alfi is finally back to his sense. He then returns Shikulo to his bracelet. Leo looks unconscious now.
'Al.. Fi..' Leo said stammered.
Alfi looks shocked seeing what he has done to Leo.
'Hey... Don't give me that look...? As my promise...' Leo said coughing blood.
'Please save her... They abducted her... I don't feel so good.' Leo closed his eyes.
'Leo! Wake up, Leo!' Alfi exclaimed in panic.
Leo doesn't seem to breathe anymore, and his body slowly disappears carried by the wind.
'Alfi... I...' Kartika said awkwardly.
'I am sorry that you had to see me like that, Kartika.' Alfi said. 'I am okay now. Let's go to Kintamani already then.' He added.
Kartika still remains silent. Alfi then pats her head gently.
'Hey, why the long face? You do look like an ugly hag in such a state.' Alfi said.
Kartika then punches his face that he let her head go. Alfi just bursts out laugh seeing Kartika like that. Koji then summons Atam, and all of them are going to Kintamani.
Meanwhile, a guy in blue-based color polka dot cloak is standing on a place near Tenganan village.
'Two already, eh? They are really useless.' He said. 'It seems, it's my turn already. I wonder if they still remember me?' He runs to Tenganan village.
Knock!
Knock!
Knock!
'POLICE! OPEN THE DOOR!'
"Dang! They are here. Let's get away from here." I run with Mitsuha crashing the window and run as fast as possible to get away from our house. Dang, I haven't paid the installment.

Shadows in the Dawn Mist
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] - Winner November 2020 When a young woman is lured back to her homeland for the opportunity of a life time, she must face old fears. But never would she think that facing up to her past would change everything. Is History written by the victors, or by someone or something else...? *** I started writing this a few years ago and eventually fell out of love with it. I never finished it and my newer books are being written in different writing style, and genre with a more planned process. I decided to revisit it for the writathon and found that it wasn't as hopeless as I'd come to think. Hopefully, I've improved as a writer since them so the consistency may vary. Its been good to revisit and analyse my writing which I feel used to have some clunky and obvious dialogue which I'm trying to fix. This will always be my first novel and I hope, with a little exposure, I may come to like it again. Thanks for reading!
