Chapter 7 Delving into History

At night, to be precise at Simon's residence. Here, he was in a room that was none other than his own room. He was sitting in front of a computer monitor and working on his project. He who looked so serious, soon got a message from someone he didn't know. That person gave a warning to himself and of course it made him feel astonished and immediately ignored the message. Simon, who was working on his project assignment, then felt something strange about him and immediately stopped his activities and then was silent for a moment. During the last few times something seemed to be stuck and he didn't realize it at all until finally he felt uncomfortable and didn't know why, but it just crossed his head and it's true. Simon, who felt no need to think about it, finally returned to continue his work and not long after he immediately got up from his seat and went to the kitchen to get drinking water. He slowly made his way back into the dark room. The night changed and now it's a bright morning in this city. The atmosphere looks so beautiful with quite stunning views. Simon, who was getting ready and about to go to campus, then remembered that he had missed something and then went back to his room before he finally left.
At a bus stop, a girl was sitting there and not long after the bus came. the girl climbs slowly. On the way, the girl is seen looking at the scenery and then arrives at a place. Slowly. The girl got out of the bus and walked to a place that turned out to be an ancient building that had been abandoned for a long time and is now only a historical museum. The girl walked into the place and after that met the old man who guarded the place. The girl also asked him.
"Excuse me, grandfather."
"Welcome young man. Today's weather is quite sunny. Is there anything I can help you with?”
"I came here to visit."
"Oh, all right, come in. This is a place that young people like you rarely visit.”
"Is it true?"
"Yes. And in this place there is nothing but history.”
"There are a few things I'd like to ask."
"Yes. Please just ask what you want to know.”
The girl is now inside the ancient museum and is currently looking at the objects in this place. All this time, there are things that are hidden from the outside world. Its existence cannot be known by just anyone. Starting from a dark story and then buried as if there was no more hope. Deep inside a truth is stored something that can cause destruction. That was what was written in the girl's book which she always read in her free time. The museum which is located near several cultural centers makes this place feel lonely and almost no one even comes except those who are curious about it. The girl then finds an ancient artifact that looks beautiful and valuable. He could only see her without touching her at all.
This time in a place that is none other than the lake near the bridge that connects district 78 to district 65. There, Simon is seen taking a walk and then he finds the right place to start painting the landscape around. The place looks so beautiful with a fairly cool atmosphere. After he previously attended classes, he finally started doing his hobby after coming home from college. Several people saw him creating masterpieces and it was amazing. The scene before his eyes was nicely painted by the ink that was there along with his fingers. Simon is indeed an expert in this matter and that is what makes him always feel admired for his very artistic work. When he was busy painting, suddenly an uncle came up to him and watched him patiently painting there. A few minutes later, finally the painting was finished and then the uncle who was beside him praised him for the amazing work and it made him feel grateful. The uncle then said a few things to him that kept him talking with the uncle near the lake,
"Your painting is very good. do you always do stuff like that?” asked the uncle to Simon.
"Thank you for the compliment. Yes I did make mine like this. Even though it looks different from most people, for me this is a pleasure that cannot be paid. It might sound like an exaggeration, but that's how I feel right now," said Simon to the uncle.
"I see. Oh yes, young man. What's your name?"
"Simons."
“Simon yes. Okay. What are you busy with besides painting?”
"I'm just a student. How about uncle? And sorry, what's your uncle's name?"
“I'm Edward. My activity is only as a worker in the printing industry. But, so far I am also a fan of painting.”
"Really?"
"Of course. There are some exhibitions I go to just to see other people's work which is just amazing.”
"I see. Have you been enjoying it all this time?”
"Of course. Whatever I do, I enjoy it without the slightest regret. And again, life is only for things like that right? Don't sink too deep into despair. All of that will just be a passing wind.”
"I agree with your words. Oh yes, if you wish, please have one of these paintings.”
"Really?"
"Yes. This is for you uncle."
"Thank you young man. How about your college?"
"It's working as it should."
“That's great. You must be a successful person.”
"Thank you Uncle."
"Then do you want to come with me for a drink?"
"Okay. I will appreciate it.”
"Come on."
Once Simon finished with his painting and he immediately tidied up his things. the two of them then went somewhere because it was already getting dark. They both went to a bar that was not far from the place earlier. A bar with a concept that looks artistic and this is the only bar using a concept that is quite unique. The two of them sat down on a chair close to the bartender and then ordered a few drinks. Simon, who seemed to be enjoying his drink, made him feel happy, and so did the uncle, who kept talking about himself and his journey in life.
It was getting late, Vicky, who had come home from work, then walked home and looked very tired. As soon as he got on the bus, he slept for a while until he finally realized that he had to get off soon. As soon as he got off the bus, apparently Vicky still looked so sleepy and on the way to his house he looked lethargic until he finally arrived at his house and immediately lay down on the couch. A few hours ago, he was very busy and there was almost no break, so he had to continue serving the large number of customers at his workplace. Arriving at his house he looks so happy because soon he will fall asleep from exhaustion. Vicky, who was almost asleep, had to be woken up by the ringing of his cell phone earlier and that annoyed him. When he checked, apparently his friend named Mira called him so he had to pick up the call quickly.
"Hello, Mira, what's up?" asked Vicky over a phone call.
"You're home already?"
"Yes. What is it?"
"I was going to take you to a club. But it looks like you're tired so I didn't do it."
“That's great. I am very sleepy. Goodbye."
After that he then ended the call and continued sleeping. It's already midnight. Now Simon is going home after he said goodbye to the uncle who invited him to drink it. Simon then arrived at the door of his house and entered it and turned on the light. He who looked quite drunk then lay down on the couch with his head starting to hurt. Besides that, he also felt nauseous until he finally vomited there. This time at a museum that was visited by a girl. He was sitting in a chair and then he asked a few questions to the museum guard because he was curious about what he saw while exploring this place which seemed to remind him of a mystery.
"What did uncle do before?"
"I'm just an archaeologist and from now on that job is no longer by me."
"Why? Are you retired?"
"You can say that or not."
"What do you mean? Oh yes, there is something I want to ask.”
"Please, go ahead. Since I am now the caretaker of this place, in other words that is my current job.”
"Ah, so it seems."
"Then what do you want to ask?"
As soon as he heard what the girl said, he suddenly became silent from shock. The uncle's view shows how he knows about it and tries to keep it a secret. The girl continued to ask a few more questions and it made her feel reminded of what that person had said to her. The grandfather then swallowed his saliva and at that moment he began to look at the girl with a confused look. The girl was silent and waiting for answers to all the questions she threw at the person. However, apparently the grandfather immediately said a few words to her as if the person was confiding in her and the girl just sighed and once again said the question she asked a few minutes ago to the grandfather who was in front of her firmly.
"Who are you?" said the grandfather.
