“It can be,” said Harso with a smile. “But even if there is no reincarnation, with your experience, who knows if we will be able to look to the past beyond present day's human lifetime.”
“What if it turns out that my experience is of no use to your project?” Kalyana said a few moments later.
“Then, bienvenue en Suisse!” exclaimed Harso, smiled broadly. “Let's just say you were taking a walk here!”
The living room was quiet again. The sound of the leaves blowing in the wind outside could even be heard.
“Then when are we going to start the experiment?” Kalyana chased.
“As soon as possible,” replied Harso. “In the next one or two days, you will have to come to the laboratory.”
Rajata gulped.

Finally he decided to leave the room, brought a camera and laptop and a packet of chocolate balls that he bought at Changi.After brewing a cup of coffee, Rajata sat on the living room sofa, then began editing the photos he took yesterday.Before long, he heard the sound of the door being opened. Kalyana appeared in the living room a moment later, carrying a cup of coffee. The girl sat next to Rajata, leaning back on the sofa.“Are you awake too?” Rajata commented while still having fun editing photos.“Yes,” said Kalyana, staring blankly at Rajata's laptop screen.“Yesterday you look cheerful, Na,” said Rajata a few moments later.“Am I?” protested the girl.Rajata stopped editing photos.

“What can you cook, Ta?” Kalyana asked as she walked into the kitchen.“Sunny side up, instant noodles,” replied Rajata after thinking for a moment.“We only have rice, sugar, salt,” said Kalyana as she opened the kitchen cupboards and refrigerator. “As well as ketchup and chili sauce which are almost expired.”“Fried rice?” Rajata suggested.“Can you?” asked Kalyana with a playful smile.“I can.”“Okay,” said Kalyana as she took the rice and put it in the rice cooker. “I'll cook the rice, then you'll fry it, okay?”“Okay.”***“Is there anything I need to help you with?” Kalyana said, sitting on a chair at the dining table. She just finished arranging their tableware.“Nothing, it's finished!” said Rajata. Before long, he lifted the pan full of rice from the stove to the dining table.“Bon appétit!” Kalyana exclaimed with sparkling eyes as she took the rice from the frying pan.“Uh, yes,” said Rajata stuttered a bit. “Enjoy your meal too!”Kal

Kalyana wiped her cheek, turned her head around with an awkward smile. “Sorry, I got carried away with emotion,” she said. “I was hoping I could be here with Armand.”Rajata cleared his throat softly. “Want to accompany me shopping for jackets again?” he offered.Kalyana smiled weakly. “I don't want to!” she said in a slightly trembling voice. “I don't want to carry your grocery bag!”Rajata chuckled, then fell silent, also looked up at the rooftops in the distance.Kalyana took a deep breath then threw it out loud.“Want to try screaming?” murmured Rajata.“We are not supposed to make noise in this country, Ta,” Kalyana said hoarsely.Rajata looked down and around. “Nobody is here,” he continued muttering.Kalyana once again took a deep breath. “You bastard, Mand!” she shouted out loud. “Such a jerk!”Rajata jumped a little in surprise, turned to look at his friend, smiling.With her elbows resting on the fenc

On the bus that was taking them back to town, Kalyana's phone vibrated.

Is there any news, Har?” asked Kalyana. “Or did you call me just to congratulate me?”“I’m good, Na,” said Harso. “You both got permit into the CERN compound.”“Oh, yeah?” Kalyana replied excitedly. “When can we go there?”“Why don't you go to Geneva now? Just tell me where you are going to wait, I'll pick you up in the afternoon, then we'll enter the compound together.”“Good idea!” Kalyana exclaimed. “OK, I'll let you know when we get there!”“Don't forget to bring your suitcase!” said Ha

Inside, Harso immediately led Kalyana and Rajata to the meeting room. There are four team members waiting for them.Harso invited his two friends to sit on the available chairs, then he sat on his own chair.“Good evening, everyone,” said Harso in English. “Let me introduce Rajata and Kalyana, who will be the subjects of our experiment for the next two days.”“She’s Bianca, from Italy, neurologist. That’s Roel, from Holland, a quantum mechanic. Next is Karthikeyan, from India, electrical engineer, and that’s Wang Li, a computer expert,” Harso introduced his team to Kalyana and Rajata.After the introduction, Harso pressed a button on his laptop. The meeting room lights immediately dimmed, and a projector displayed a photo of the work space onto the screen in front. Several computers appear to be placed on a table arranged in an L shape, and five white capsules with glass windows on them are placed lying in front of the line of computers.“That’s a

Well,” said Harso, opened the conversation when the three of them were already sitting at the coffee table. “Do you guys understand how Lidia works?”Rajata and Kalyana nodded.“Then, can we start trying to trace the appearance that you experienced, Na?” asked Harso.“Okay,” said Kalyana. “What should I do? Do I need to remember how I felt when I was inside that woman?”“Yes!” said Harso.“Excuse me, Har,” suddenly Rajata said.“Yes?”“Will we be brought back at Mr. Made's house in Yeh Pulu?”“Yeh Pulu?” Harso's smile faded. He looks at Rajata closely.“Yes, Yeh Pulu, Bali,” said Kalyana. “At that time Mr. Made gave me a vision of Larasati when we were at his house in Yeh Pulu.”Harso's face looked even more serious, this time looking at Kalyana. “Larasati?” he asked

The timeline has ended. There is no other information available,” said Lidia delivering a notification along with the opening of their capsule.Rajata took off his helmet, got out of the capsule, took a deep breath to get rid of any lingering feelings. Kalyana seemed to have sat on the capsule, her eyes wet.“Let's take a break,” said Harso to his two friends as he walked to the coffee table.At the coffee table, Harso patted Kalyana's shoulder softly while saying, “Among us, you must be the strongest to feel all of Larasati's feelings.”Kalyana didn't answer. She was still overpowered by her own feelings.“Why did she feel it the most?” asked Rajata.“To be able to send information to our heads, Lidia has to match the brain frequencies she gets in the black hole with our brain frequencies, and that adjustment process dampens emotional information. However, Larasati's brain frequencies correspond very well to yours, Na, so almost all the informati

"Harso!" exclaimed Karthikeyan at the laboratory door with his three teammates. “We'll go home now! Happy weekend!"Harso just waved back their greetings. He smiled at Kalyana's message about her airplane seat, then put the device on the table, fell silent.Before long, he heard the sound of a door opening and closing in the distance. Harso got up from his seat and headed to the capsule area. He then went into one of the capsule and closed the door, then concentrated for a moment giving a Reference Point to Lidia.A few moments later he was in the figure of a man who was holding and watching the hand of a woman who was sitting in front of him. The man's hand was trembling slightly and broke out in cold sweat.

“So you are ‘Rajata’,” commented the man who was sitting cross-legged on the living room chair.“I am, Sir,” said Rajata with a slight nod. He sat in a chair opposite the well-built man with his elbows resting on his knees.The white-haired man looked at Rajata investigatively. “Frankly, I don’t know what Kalyana sees in you,” he said a few moments later, “especially when compared to Harso who is a scientist and Armand whose successful career has led him to his assignment abroad.”“Papa …!” protested Kalyana who sat in another chair facing the two men. Kalyana’s fierce face then suddenly changed. “Errr, wait a minute, Pa. How can you know about Harso and Armand? “The father turned to Kalyana. “Na, your papa is old-fashioned, not nonsociable,” he said, “I have many friends who are happy to tell Papa about many th

She smiled then hit the 'like' button and left a line of comments. "Looks cool!" she continued to Arsyad. "You’re right! Let’s stay there sometime later!""But that's why I can't see the news feed from of Rajata account, huh?" murmured Arsyad."Why, are you interested in him?" asked Merina while still stared at the phone screen, hoping Arsyad did not see her expression harden a little."You are crazy!

Changi, Singapore, six in the morning. From the aviobridge window, Kalyana saw the wet tarmac from the rain. The air felt a little stifling, but that couldn't make the smile on her face disappear at all."Why have you been smiling all this time?" asked Rajata at his side."Oh, so I can't smile?" said Kalyana, trying to purse her lips. “Fine, I won't smile anymore.""Well, don't smile too much," murmured Rajata with a serious face. "If you smile like that, I will have a hard time looking ahead, as I want to see you all the time.""Ouch!" Kalyana grumbled. “I'm sorry I went out with you! You turned out to be too cheesy, making me nauseous!”Rajata just chuckled while squeezing Kalyana's hand gently.The connecting flight to Surabaya is still a few hours away.

"So, do you want to go out with me?"Kalyana smiled sweetly, clutching Rajata’s hand that was leaning on the divider of their seat. "Ta, I also have some feelings for you now," she said softly. She paused for a moment then took a deep breath. Her face flushed red before even continuing to say, “And right now, I want you to hug me tightly. It felt like I just see someone I had known for a long time.”Rajata smiled, squeezing Kalyana's hand back."But," continued Kalyana again, "I'm afraid of my feelings.""Afraid?""Yes," replied Kalyana.

Rajata stepped there.In the TV room, Kalyana was seen sitting with her legs bent on the sofa, wearing her pajamas. Her chin rested on her knees while her hands were holding a cup of drink, wrapped around her legs. The girl seemed absorbed, focused on the French-language film that was shown, not caring about her friend's arrival. On Kalyana's face, which was lit by the television, Rajata caught a glimpse of two small rivers flowing from the eyes down the cheeks."Na?" Rajata greeted gently."Hmmm?" muttered Kalyana, still glued to the television."What is wrong?"Kalyana just shook her head.Rajata is sitting next to Kalyana. “Why did Armand leave the apartment?

The sound of grinding machine, followed by the scent of coffee, awakened Rajata. For a moment he was confused about where he was. His body immediately sat up and alert, residue of emotions that Lidia induced."Morning, Ta!" said Kalyana from the kitchen. "Want some coffee?""Yes!" he exclaimed getting up from the sofa."Then you can help yourself!" sneered Kalyana, busy with the frying pan on the stove.Rajata just smiled, approached the machine and prepared a cup of strong coffee for himself.Soon the aroma of fried egg and butter filled the apartment."Come on, have some breakfast!" asked Kalyana while bringing a plate of sunny side ups.

"Your perfume smells good," murmured Rajata.Kalyana turned her head. "Thank you!" she said, smiled, then looked back out."When will Armand be here?" asked Rajata."Oh, this weekend, the night before we fly back to Surabaya," Kalyana replied."You decided to forgive him and make up with him?"Kalyana smiled, shrugged. "Perhaps," she said later. "All the information that Lidia put into my head made me feel chaotic, and it seems like the experiences of all the figures we followed made me realize I miss him.""Congratulations!"
