AST
PHASE 19 . A DECISION

“Erick jerk, what do you want my girlfriend, huh?” hiss Adnan moments after successfully carrying one of the planes at the base. Fortunately, the iron bird he rode was still using a manual key and the pilot may have forgotten to pull the key to the driver.

Jemari Adnan tried to push a few buttons in front of her to do something. A few seconds later, his eyes sparkled after successfully connecting the communication channel from the plane to his Analemma.

“Oi,oi!” he's testing that communication channel.

Erick himself was almost surprised and gave up control of the plane he was carrying now. Moreover, he recognized the voice of his interlocutor now.

What the hell is he doing?

His eyes also widened when he learned an iron bird was flying on the side of the plane. “A-what?” he was half nervous.

“Back now, Erick!” exclaim Adnan through communication link.

“A-what are you doing?!” sergeant Erick.

Adnan chuckled in response. “I should have asked, what did you do with Analemma, huh?” tanyanya lightly. Diamasih continued to control his plane on the side of Analemma which was much larger in size than the iron bird he controlled now.

Erick screeches. He hoped to unilaterally cut off the communication link. However, it felt impossible, because he was nervous and could not control his emotions right now.

An explosion was created in front of him. Erick almost hit the blast before swooping Analemma away from his original position. He was silent, with his breathing and heartbeat hunting each other.

“You almost hurt my girlfriend just now,” Adnan said.

“Hah?” Erick tried to focus his hearing.

“The cost of repairing Analemma is very large and you are even aggravating our economic condition if you just crashed my girlfriend into a hill,” said the black-haired young man.

Erick speechless. His mouth was locked tightly at this moment.

“You won't be able to catch those eastern alliances with such a single seat,” Adnan said again. “Analemma designed for fighting, not transporter.”

Liur Erick swallowed perfectly. Supposedly, he realized early on before using that taper-clad plane.

“Let's go home,” Og Adnan. “We won't be able to exchange planes in this place.”

Adnan exhaled a long, silent breath. His bright blue maniac stared at Analemma who was slowly maneuvering back to the original path. He caught up with Erick and flew behind his big plane.

***

Adnan stood nailing, waiting for someone to come out of the hangar. His gaze was straight at the busyness of the people out there. Meanwhile, a young man suddenly stopped his steps when he saw Adnan standing before him. Of course with a view that does not lead to him now.

“I hope Analemma is happy you had the chance to ride it,” Adnan said. It seemed, he had realized someone he knew was standing not far from his position.

Erick—youth the—bergeming in her position. Until finally, Adnan turned to look at him.

“Tell the Commander if I agree to his decision,” Adnan said.

Erick jerking. His net widened and his mouth choked.

“I don't know his wish .. and also your wish,” Adnan said back. “Maybe it's my fault, because I shouldn't be here.”

“No!” sergeant Erick suddenly. “No will.”

Adnan frowned. “Hm? What's up?” tanyakanya.

“Do not act stupid! You know what my father would do if you accepted his decision, ‘kan?! Don't be such a fool before me, Adnan!” snapped Erick.

The black-haired young man was still looking at Erick. Her strands of hair that were blown by the gusts of wind almost covered half of the face.

“If you agree, you ...” Erick hung up his words. His emotions are exploding in the midst of a mind that increasingly fills the brain.

Adnan thought for a moment. “I will be returned to Cosmo,” he said. “Iya, ‘kan?”

Erick flinching. His body suddenly went limp. Adnan really knew the risks he would have

face it. Unlike her who is still trying to find a identity that seems to disappear without a trace.

“Yeah, maybe it's time, anyway.” Adnan opened his mouth again. “I also don't know what I would do here if I just couldn't touch the device or access the path to anywhere on this base. And also ... slowly, surely I will part ways with Analemma—”

“No!” hardik Erick's. “You won't be safe at Cosmo, Adnan. People will judge you there!”

“Lalu ... what? What are you gonna do?” ask Adnan. “Are you going to beg your father like a boy?”

Erick gulped. He's riveted.

“We're not kids anymore. We are also not students anymore, Erick,” said the young man in front of Erick. “We are warriors. Fighter. There are times when we are friends, and there are times when we become opponents.

“Since the beginning, I knew the risks of everything I did. Whether it is good, or bad for me does not matter, because I have prepared everything,” said Adnan. “This war means nothing to me. Why am I attacking my home group and why am I defending my own enemies. And for your hatred of

your alians ... I hope you take it off.”

A momentary puff of breath came out of Erick's nose. “Adnan,” call him.

The black-haired young man looked straight at Erick. The blue diamonds that are like the ocean look shiny. His turbulent emotions were deliberately detained. His hands were clenched and somehow he was detained so as not to

he floated to the head of the young man before him. Adnan is upset that his partner is getting away from him now. He felt that Erick would really betray him.

The young man passed by, stretching his limbs away from his position. Meanwhile, Erick has not yet

saying something to Adnan, now just gaping staring at the departure of the young man. Erick is in his position now. Quiet, unmoving in the clench he felt.

“She was in Cosmo. I hope you don't know about that Clibanarii, Adnan,” the hiss is sliced.

***

The man got up from the chair. Highlight his eyes sharply stared straight at the young man who was standing not far away from him.

“It's easy to get you back to Cosmo. But didn't you forget your responsibility, huh?!” snapped again.

Adnan. His gaze half-subjected with mixed feelings filled the recesses of the heart. “I will do my best, which I can do in Cosmo later,” he said still half bowed.

Hubert squeaked in between his perfectly formed grin. “You are the same,” he said as he stepped closer to the young man. “You think for what purpose did you join us, and then be here, huh?” continued. “Captured all our rights as did your father, ‘kan, Young master Harris?”

Adnan quickly raised his gaze. His eyes almost widened when he found the two Hubert's neutrals that were right in front of him. He realized that the man was close enough to him.

Hubert returned. “Miris once if I knew your destination was that,” he said. “You think you are

what if you go back to Cosmo? Hm?”

Saliva Adnan ingested. Meanwhile, his eyes were still looking closely at the brown-haired man who was now walking around him.

“That peace we have mastered. The entire people of the eastern alliance have died in vain there,” Hubert said.

“Those fools don't know if they're stuck in our game. And you easily said that you agreed to my decision, and begged me to punish you by returning you there? Do you think I believe in your words?”

A loud bang hit the young man's back and knocked him down instantly. Adnan almost groaned because the impact hit the scar that has not healed completely. He grimaced with the pain. Severe pain permeates the entire body instantly. Adnan did not know if he could get up now, or not at all, because this second Hubert landed one of his legs right on the scar hidden behind the young man's uniform.

“Five years ago .. I hope you don't forget why I hate your father,” said the brunette.

Adnan gulped forcibly, soaking his choked throat as a result of enduring the pain. Him

preferring to shut up and let the man talk while tormenting him. This is better, rather than having to eavesdrop on other people's conversations from behind the nursery.

A few minutes, Hubert flinched. He left his leg on the young man's back, before a few minutes later someone stopped the action. His son—Erick— suddenly entered the room and screeched into

its direction.

“AYAH!!!”

Hubert then took off the pain in the back of the young man he stepped on just now. Meanwhile, his son immediately approached and checked Adnan's situation. Erick knew the condition of the young man now. Consequent

the silly behavior of his father earlier, Adnan is now weak helpless. You can imagine if the spine that has not healed properly, hit again, many times, and the pain could have stimulated to the spinal cord nerves to weaken the motor skills of the young man.

Hubert screeched, unable to bear to see his son still care for the young man he hated. “Your statement

it has been approved,” he said referring to Adnan. “You can wait until we return you to Cosmo—”

“Dad!!” hardik Erick a moment. His eyes turned towards his father.

Meanwhile, Hubert turned his head and stared intently at Erick. “You must stay here until the war is over,”. “Don't forget that you're a captain now.”

Hubert silenced the speech, before passing away leaving the room. Erick again lamented Adnan who was still fluttering nearby. The young man's body did not move in the slightest. In her pain, she could still glance thinly at Erick who was about to cry.

“Do not crybaby, Stupid!” cela Adnan hoarse. He was still grimacing withstanding the pain that might have now numbed the feeling nerves in each joint of his homecoming.

Erick flinching. He nodded, not stopping to blame himself. Adnan's reproach didn't even affect him this second.

“Maybe ... I will find Adara ... in another way,” Adnan said.

The brunette suddenly raised her gaze, looking at Adnan lying nearby. “Why

you still think about that girl, huh?” cercan. “Stupid once!”

Adnan smiled faintly. “He was my best friend since childhood,” he said. “I ... can't forget it just like that.”

Erick silence. His eyes were still staring at the young man.

“I don't care if he lives .. or dies,” Adnan said back. “I should be sure .. if I can find it.”

Adnan closed the net, embracing all that his consciousness could capture now. The fragrance of the room, his body, and Erick, all fused together in a single breath. He smiled back.

“I miss him,” cleanly.“Yusagi ... Adara.”

***

Adara threw her eyes out the window. The girl was still sitting near a large monitor in the same room when she tried to contact her parents at the center. The bright bead that has been focused on looking at the screen for some time, is now like being directed by something that attracts his attention.

From out there.

Behind the blue mega.

In other parts of the country that he does not know of.

His ears heard someone calling his name.

Extremely complete.

Obvious.

The girl could not guess the caller. His hands clenched, touching his chest. His heart beat then rumbled. He could not guess what he was feeling now. Everything is like being mixed in an infinite eternity.

Adara thought for a moment. Occasionally, he directed his eyes out the window and turned to a room where he was alone and some technicians were busy with their work. Until finally, something broke down his focus. A notification pops up clearly on the large monitor that is nearby. His eyes widened, before a few seconds later he ran out of the room to meet someone.

“Letnan Jason!!!” his screeches. “There is a reply message from the center!”
