Her eyes were empty. That’s what Kram always
saw around him all the time but not after he met Day. The day he met Day was
more than just meeting a good girl or a good partner. He was a ballet dancer
since childhood. His life was repetitive, like living on schedule, living in a
system, a target, a progress, a program. But the time he met Day, everything
was changing. It’s like a twist. A meeting a partner. She’s the same people
like everyone’s around him. Same thing. It’s just a complexion of her
background story. It’s in her face. It’s in her eyes. A hidden secret. He never
found a person like her. Day was genius yet she chose to be a ballet dancer.
Same thing as himself. He’s seeing himself on her eyes. And the way she kept
things by her own, all the secrets, then she said, “I’m fine”, she never be
fine. Just like himself. The moment on Friday night, on a plane, the moment he
found the truth about Day relatives, she found her secret, and she’s gone. The
moment he kept seeing a dream about her, “Help”, and he just had guts where he
had to go to find her. That he believed she’s going back to her whenever she’s
ready. And she found him. The call. He couldn’t stop thinking about that
moment. A second time he found her, she’s dying. It’s like the world stood in
front of him for that moment to stop her be with him, again. Then, things went
back again. He was protecting her. Then, things start to be uncontrolled. This person who suddenly interrupted. This,
Loki and The Avengers. They just appeared from nowhere. Then, again, she
disappeared from him, and he followed her, the world turned upside down. And,
he couldn’t find her. The same thing that happened again, and again, and again.
It’s not him that should find her, but it was her. Kram was surprised when he
found on television about Day as Jow Marlace’s girlfriend. He flew to see her
if she’s real. And, it was real. It was on a backstage, Kram just surprised her
when Jow’s not with her. Then, she knew him. As she hugged him and smiled to
him, as she embraced him and looked through his eyes, She has become someone
else. Like anyone else. Jow found Kram and they chatted on that day, “I…want you
to take her, Kram. I…had this dream. She… killed me. But, it doesn’t matter.
You’re her fiancé, you have to be with her.” Kram and Day now living together.
“Day,” After the party’s over and Jow was
leaving, only him and her again at the house. He’s calling her.
“Yes?” she answered and looking at him.
“Do you…love him?” asked Kram.
“Who, my Darling? Jow?”
“No. Not Jow. Loki.”
Day was in silent.
“Have you seen him, again?”
Day didn’t reply.
“Even in a dream?”
“What dream?”
“It’s…it’s the same dream. Every night. Did you
have the same dream?”
“What is it, my darling?”
“You never called me, that.” Kram then kissed
her, “You are not her. Day isn’t here. She’s asking me for help, every night,
stood right in front of the bed. While you were asleep. She asked me the last
time if I’m afraid of the new her and I told her I’m not afraid. Then, she said
she ate one of the god. She’s afraid.”
“It’s just a dream, Kram.”
“No, no, no,” Kram said, “You are not her! Stop
pretending! You are not Day! You don’t know me! You know nothing about me!”
Kram shouted and shaken Day, “Stop being her! Stop!”
“Help me, Kram! Help me!” Day suddenly cried
and shouted, too, same thing as his dream, “Help me, Kram….help me,”
“What…what is it, Day? What is it?”
Suddenly Day laughed, She’s laughing in her
crying, in front of Kram’s face. Kram stopped. Day kept laughing, she wiped her
own tears, “So, that’s what she always doing when I went to sleep.” Day walked
inside the house, “Come on, big boy! Get in. It’s already night.”
“Why did you do to her?” Kram was still
shocking.
“I helped her, you dumbass!” Day stood in front
of the door house, “Get inside, right now!”
Kram started to cry, “Is she dead?”
“No, shut up! Get in the house!”
“No! Where is she?!”
“She is not dead, get in the house so we can
talk about it! STOP CRYING! YOU’RE A GROWN UP!”
“I miss her.”
“Whatever. Don’t come to our house if you’re
still crying!” Day went inside the house.
Day went
to the kitchen and lots of food and drinks left. Day decided took a bottle of
beer and opened it. She drank it, “I miss Asgard drinks.”
“Where is she?” Kram was already inside the
house, but Day decided to turn around, she’s grabbing another beer. Kram
decided to walk and sit on the sofa. His face still wet. Day came and sit next
to him. She gave the beer to him, “She never let me drink.”
“Well, how should I know?”
“Aren’t…aren’t your mind and her…?”
“Not this time. She’s not here.” Said Day.
Kram decided to drink it, “How long you’ve
becoming her?”
“Well,” Day also drank the beer, “Since Jow
brought me to New Zealand. Day’s losing her memories about Loki and stuffs, and
one day, she’s not the one who wakes up. It’s me. I’ve tried to talk to her,
you know, talk to myself. I got nothing. I’ve tried to become another Falcon
again but I couldn’t. It’s frustrating. Then, Jow, day after day, he’s exactly
like Loki! And, it’s just happened. I’m becoming like human. I have feelings
and I want to kill him. I want to kill him, so bad.”
“You made nightmares on him?” asked Kram.
“Yea,yea. Every night. It’s releasing my
stress.”
“Your stress?”
“Until you found me.” She smiled, “I’ve never
felt having so much love like never. I love you.”
“Stop it.” Said Kram.
“Fine. You’re mortal, anyway.” Said Day. She
drank again.
“Day never drink.”
“Never?”
“I don’t know. She barely ate anything. But
you, you eat everything.”
“Whatever.”
“Where did she hide?”
“Well, you found her in your dream. Maybe you
can find her again in your dream.”
“Did you hurt her?”
“What? Never. I’m protecting her. All this
time.”
“Then why she’s asking for help?”
“Odin, save me!” Said Day to herself, “Kram,
why don’t you go to sleep and maybe you can see her, ask her that question.”
“Help me to understand.”
“Well, she’s afraid of herself. I also afraid
of her, the time she ate Hermes. She’s now not only being hunted by those
aliens but also she’s now deserved to die by Greek Gods. I couldn’t save her,
this time. Maybe, that’s why she ran away and hidden. No one can help her. Not
even you, Kram.”
Kram even couldn’t reply that explanation.
“Kram, I’m not saying that I’m not Day that
you’ve been looking but that Day ate a god. She’s been lying to me since day 0.
She’s probably a disguise Titan who could eat gods. The history of greek gods,
well, we’re the asgardians, we’re more primitive gods, closer with humans. But,
Day, whoever Day is, that’s why Loki put curiosity on her.”
“Day is Day. Loki ruined her life.”
“That’s what I thought, too. Loki ruined my
life, too. But, not until Day ate Hermes.”
“Who is Hermes?”
“Shut up! He’s Greek god, read the history!”
“Then who’s Day?”
“WHO IS DAY! AHA! THAT IS BRILLIANT QUESTION!”
Day stood up and splashed her drink. She laughed, “I KEEP SAVING HER BUT I
BELIEVE SHE CAN SAVE HERSELF! SHE’S RUNNING A SHOW ON US!”
“Day, Day!” Kram tried to put her calm.
“I can not go back to my real form. I can not
fly back to the court of Gods. I’m a mortal. The Asgard not even looking for me
anymore!”
“They’re keeping save the Asgard portal. The
Justice League is trying to attack them.”
“What exactly that blind man doing?” Day back
talk to herself, “Kram, now you know the truth. You can’t just call me,” Day
looked back to Kram, “Day. I have a name.” Kram listened, “Falcon.”
“Like that Captain America’s friend Falcon?”
“Well, I don’t know. I’ve lived as Day for a
very long time. This is my first form as human. But, if you consider me as
other gender, I can do it anyway, if that’s what you want.”
“I’m sorry, Falcon. It’s not you I was looking.
I am sorry but I love Day.”
“Day’s not here anymore.”
“Then, what do you want? I can’t see nobody
besides Day in you.”
“Alright, then.” Day decided to walk to their
bedroom, “You’re still welcome to our bed tonight, Kram.”
Kram finished his beer. Day sighed and she just
went inside. She knew sooner or later Kram will know about her. She’s not
really that hurt, because her first love was not Kram.
Kram decided to sleep on a couch. He also
decided to move out from the house on next morning. It was better this way.
Kram then went to sleep.
“Day?” Kram was inside his own dream and Day
was crying. Kram sat on the couch as Day also sat next to him, Kram comforted
her and let her head on his lap. She keeps crying. Kram started to brush her
hair. Kram actually started to pour tears, “Why didn’t you tell me?”
“You’re going to leave her right away. I don’t
want to lose you.”
“I thought she was you.”
“I am sorry, Kram.”
“How can I help you, Day?”
“I don’t know, Kram. I don’t know. Help me.”
Kram then started to ask, “How could you eat a
Hermes?”
Day back to up and faced Kram, “I… I…”
“Did you pick him from the beginning?”
“Kram….”
“Tell me the truth, Day, so I can help you.”
Day never feel so burden, she’s shaking.
“The system already knew. They’re trying to
track you, Day.”
“What?” Day was surprised.
“The system has decided if you’re a Titan or
not. The system might wonder about this world starts to reboot. But, possibly
they still stick with the Ragnarok
program.”
“Kram…how did you know?”
“I… I can’t lose you, anymore, Day. I’ve had
enough. This is the third time I finally found you. I… I believe there won’t be
a next time. I, I love you and you’re only, Day.” Kram finally kissed Day, “You
are my life.”
Day decided to kiss Kram again. And again. And
again. Then Day realized something as she hugged him very tight.
“What is you mission, Day?” asked Kram.
“To reboot a system, Kram.”
Kram took a deep breath. He finally found the
true reason.
“I…I was afraid if Hermes would report me to
the system. Then, he asked me, Kram. It was not my idea, he begged me to take
him to another side. I was afraid, Kram, I’ve made a big mistake. Then,
suddenly Falcon decided to keep help me and I thought the only way to keep me
safe is by hiding. Then you and Jow were saving my life. I couldn’t do anymore
else, Kram. If I’m back, the system will hunt me and the mission will fail,
they will just erase everything.”
“I will help you.”
“How?!”
“Be the Titan. Use the Falcon.”
“She won’t believe me.”
“No one believes you in the first place. But,
you’ve made it, right? You’ll find the way, Day.”
“Kram…”
“I, I will leave you in the morning. You have
to do this alone. I will distract them.”
“What do you mean?”
“As long as Ragnarok program keeps continue, keep
hiding from me. That’s how the system recorded us. Day,” Kram made her back to
sit and held her arms, “listen to me. Don’t hesitate. Get out from the house
and get to place where you need to be.”
“Where I need to be?”
“Day,” Kram kissed her again, and again, and
again, “I can’t be the one who will be next to you until the end, and if this
is goodbye, at least a kiss wouldn’t mind.” He kissed her again, “Goodbye.”
“Kram!”
It’s already in morning. Day awoke on her
bedroom with the sun lights bathed all over dress. She’s back to her body. She
still wore yesterday garden party dress. She straight out from the room and she
knew Kram was not there. Day felt so alone. It’s like what happened whenever
things became so clear. “Day, listen to
me. Don’t hesitate. Get out from the house and get to place where you need to
be.”
“Where…I need to be.” Day encouraged herself.
She started to clean up herself and pack things
she decided to bring, she put in one luggage. She opened the refrigerator,
“Wah, really, Day? How can you live by eating all these?” Day decided to pack
some waters, she took her CR-V car, she didn’t care actually, she just wants a
big car. Day stopped by at the 7-eleven. She took some yoghurts and oatmeal
cakes. She ate it really joyful, like she could taste everything from her
tasteless mouth. As she done, she drove back on the road. She opened the GPS
mode.
“Where would you like to go?” asked the GPS.
“Gotham City.”
