"Lidya, where have you been?", asked William.
William, Ali and three other members had already arrived at the camp earlier than Lidya and Noah were from the city center.
Lidya was moved to see the return of William and Ali, but he showed more face so as not to look dramatic again for them.
Boni calls everyone to eat and chat together. The entire members immediately docked at the dining table as well as Noah.
No one can refuse dishes made by Boni, even with the aroma of cooking alone they are willing to queue to get the first pouring of the cooking spoon.
"What have you got out of the city center?", asked William who was sitting in the main seat as captain.
"That's.", Noah replied awkwardly because it was the first time he could gather together with the 10 archaeologists.
"Not to be confused. Eat what is in front of you" Ali said as he enjoyed his meal.
"I took him for a walk after he woke up from his long sleep. Thankfully, it was enough to please her", Lidya replied with smiling eyes towards Noah.
"Little girl, you look friendlier than that guy. You are so sweet and easy to get along with" Leo said.
"Basic woo!", quipped Levi.
"Hehe.. It feels like the lights in our basecamp are getting brighter because there is this girl" said Leo exaggerated.
"Ava huh? Though it's this bright, is it still less bright for you Leo? Basic mode!"
Levi and Leo are getting crazy to throw each other mockery and insinuations and Leo is still proud of his tropes.
Noah smiles at the 10 archaeologists' dining, although they are different and have no blood relatives but their familial bond is very compact, warm and fun.
"Lidya, tonight Ali and I will return to the research site. Do you want to come?", asked William.
"Whatever!", replied Lidya indifferently.
Ali gasped in shock and slightly scrunched his forehead. To him, it was not usual for Lidya to behave like that.
"Me, I'm done eating" said Lidya as she moved and went to the balcony of the basecamp.
After eating, Ali will follow him to make sure Lidya's condition is not as usual.
The daughter of the old archaeologist was bored with what she had been doing with the archaeologists.
He looked blankly towards the desert that stretched wide until it was not visible at the end. While turning the hair to the left ear because of the wind while moving her straight shoulder strands of hair disturbed her view.
His empty gaze implied that he was complaining because he was getting more and more ignored. Especially to be willing to cry bitterly because of the mirage that shocked the researchers.
"I feel sorry for crying over them", he complained.
Lidya began to despair with her match with Ali, feeling the color of her life increasingly fading, although she tried to be indifferent and accept the situation but still stuck in the heart.
"What's wrong with you, Lidya?"
"Origin?"
"You look different?"
"Come on" Lidya answered briefly.
Lidya also for a moment wanted to chat with Ali, Ali was pleased to accompany him. The tall man who looked cute and cold to anyone but he was very attentive to Lidya with his calm demeanor.
They both use their free time to release each other tired and pour out all the contents of the heart that had been held back.
"Do you want me to marry you soon, Lidya?", asked Ali worriedly.
"What's? Why are you suddenly asking me?"
"I see the worry on your face. Aren't you thinking the same thing as me?"
"All men are the same. When they have focused on their busy lives they always forget everything, even loved ones are forgotten. Meanwhile, women will not be able to busy themselves other than just want to have busy with people he loves", continued Lidya.
"Over the years, we've had a flurry of research together, doesn't that make you happy?"
"Stop it.."
"Say, what do you want now? Do not always refrain from accepting the circumstances around you Lidya. If you want something just say it. Although that sounds disturbing, but your wish will awaken the person who turned out to be so stupid for ignoring you"
"You understand that far, Ali?"
"of course. Who will I always see besides you?", said Ali sure
"I'm sorry" said Lidya lirih
"Ahaha.. Why are you suddenly childish like this anyway", Ali joked while gently shuffling Lidya's hair bangs.
It is true, Lidya is wanting to be loved and cared for like a girl in general. Meanwhile, Ali is the first one who will always be able to control what Lidya wants.

"the saga! Hurry up, you must cure Haru immediately!", Sean's Pinta
Haru lay motionless on Saga's bed. He has gained the power of rejection from Naru through Noah's body.
Hypnotizing the power of his golden eyes to Noah's golden eyes instantly broke up because Noah could not control it and Naru had stopped him.
"Calm down, Sean. The doctor must be able to patiently handle the patient know!" Say Saga while busy concocting herbal medicines.
"Gue became like a healer if he had to deal with drugs like this. Huff", complained Saga.
"If I had magic, I would be able to heal it quickly" Sean murmured.
"Chacha, can help" said the little vampire who had been silent no one gave him any attention.
"Allow the little doctor?", asked Saga happily.
"Um!!", replied Chacha was also happy because he felt very appreciated.
"You guys are really good for each other" Sean squinted his eyes.
"You don't need to be jealous of Sean. Elo doesn't have the same heart as me" Saga mocked.
"You're Saga!", Sean hit him in the head.
"Toeng!!", many swirling stars appeared on Saga's head.
"Haihi.. You're funny", Chacha said.
"Little vampire! You know what you are?!", Sean narrowed his eyes even more as he pointed his index finger towards Chacha.
"When you two can heal Haru, I feel like a useless person here" Sean said suddenly feeling inferior.
"Don't feel inferior. Elo was already beside him was very helpful", joked Saga who Sean thought was a serious remark.
Sean was embarrassed. He so remembered the incident that Haru had done to him last time. His face was red like pomegranate.
"Why are you Sean? Touched by my words? Ahahaha", Saga said.
"the saga! Don't like to play me!", Sean hit Saga's head again.
Meanwhile, Chacha prepares to sing her sleep song. His sleep singing not only lulls and soothes the heart, but its power is enough to heal and ease the burden of suffering.
Chacha paid no heed to Saga and Sean who were fighting. He will focus on healing Haru.
