2 Memories of past in present

There are really things that were undeniably enchanting, too attractive and splendidly beautiful while some were not. Just like the rose, one of a thousand things that symbolizes our principles and belief. At the same time– it symbolizes love.

"Rosa! Hurry up let's eat!"

"I'm coming!" I got up from my sit and glanced for a moment at what I wrote on my diary. It hurts to admit but the truth is 'Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.' Why are there questions that are difficult to answer even tho it's easy to answer, just like yes and no, two words that are easy to say but difficult to answer.

Just like 'Do you love me too?' The answer is only whether yes or no? But why the difficulty to answer? And it causes complex events. I sighed and left my room and went to the kitchen. I saw papa having coffee while reading the recently delivered newspaper while mama was already serving food at the table.

"Good evening papa, mama!" I happily greet them, with a kiss on their cheeks. I sat down next to papa's chair and mama sat in the chair in front of me next to papa.

"Evening too, let's eat." Mama answered and told papa to stop what he was doing first. "Is it today?" I just nodded. "I'll be leaving in an hour." They smiled bitterly.

"Isn't what you are doing dangerous? What if we lose you?" I took mama's hand at the top of the table and kissed it. "Everybody is excited for this new device that we invented. We can... we can travel in a small amount of time depends on the place where we wanted to be and because of that maybe... maybe life would be a lot easier for everyone, you know? "

Concern is evident on their eyes, I could see how they objected to this matter. And I also see how they sigh. "Please ..."

"Please ... this really means a lot to me." They looked at each other. "Please ..." I plead with them both. Until I saw them slowly nod and tearfully smile. I stood up and hugged them.

"Thank you! Thank you mama and papa, I love you." "We love you too child, just make sure to keep us updated okay?" Papa said and kissed me on the forehead. "Alright, I understand." "We hope you'll succeed." "Thanks."

....

"IS EVERYTHING READY ?!" The crew ran towards me and walked with me while holding an iPod survey. "Some preparation process is over Dr. Santos."

"Good, is the device already set?"

"Yes ma'am ... b-but are you sure about this? ... I-i mean, what if we failed?" I stopped walking and looked badly at the person who asked that question. "What's your name?" "P-pardon?" "Ahmm ... Sander ..."

"Hmmm ... Sander, what is your reason for being here in my lab?" "E-excuse me?" "Why are you here?" "For the success of the device ma'am." "Then would you believe me if i'll tell you that we'll succeed." He hesitated to nod, I smiled and patted him on the shoulder. "Good, because you better be." I said last before turning around and approaching those who were testing and monitoring the device.

"Set it on a time of ..." I looked at my watch and observed the rotation of its hands. "Until exactly 8 o'clock."

"Copy!"

"Check the stats!"

"IT'S NORMAL DOC!"

"STAND BY!" I ran closer to the monitors and checked carefully to see if anything was missing. "READY ?!" "GET THE SUBJECT!" They took your dog- aspin to be exact, and placed it on the table. They put here a device that is auto connected to another device, they tied a nylon on it to find out how far it can go. We invented a time device, whereas a person or a thing can travel in time and space with a given amount of time. It still a matter of time tho before we figure somthing out on how to travel in past.

We invented a device, where the object or person using it can land in just a short time. We call it DT 8289 or Device Travel 8289 (8289 because it's the first and last trial we ever made that became successful, so far. Now we just have to try to see if it will work.)

"STAND BY!" I walked away and went inside–inside of a glass and picked up the microphone. I can see from here the protective gears of my companions. "START THE PROCESS!" The doctor next to me ordered.

"FIVE PERCENT !!!!"

"NORMAL !!!!" The checker on the monitor shouted.

"TEN PERCENT !!!!"

"TWENTY PERCENT !!!!"

"THIRTY !!!!"

"FOURTY !!!!"

"FIFTY PERCENT !!!!"

"SIXTY !!!!!"

"DOCTOR, THERE SEEMS TO BE SOMETHING WRONG !!!"

"SEVENTY !!!!"

"JUST GO ON AND CONTINUE !!!" I command ... no ... no ... no ... we cannot fail, there are many people whose relying and hoping for this invention and we cannot fail. "THE TEST SUBJECT PULSE RATE'S INCREASING !!!!"

"I SAID CONTINUE !!!!" I said with finalization and I went out to approach them.

"EIGHTY PERCENT !!!"

"DR. SANTOS? !!!"

"STOP !!!! STOP! THE BELT IS LOOSENING !!!"

"NINETY !!!!"

"WE CAN'T! I CAN'T!" They opposed. No! ... it's far too dangerous, when the device loosens it can restart and we'll be included on teleporting. And for sure the device can't hold on to that because we're too many.

"THE POWER IS ON IT'S MAXIMUM !!!!" I tried to approach the dog, and adjusted its leash. I was blinded when a sudden bright light came out coming from the device itself, what was going on ?!

"ROSA !!!!" "DOCTOR SANTOS GET OUT FROM THERE !!!" But it was too late, as if there was a force pulling me and I suddenly felt dizzy, I closed my eyes and lost consciousness.

Until I opened my eyes and found myself sitting in front of them mama and papa. I can't believe it, I'm home! "Mama Papa!...." I call them. "What is that, just eat, your food will turn cold." Mom motioned for the food in front of me that I have not touch.

"Mama ...." Our invention succeeded!

"Aist ... just eat Rosa." I saw how his eyes rolled as he suppressed a smile. "Papa ...." A smile appeared on papa's lips but he did not stop eating food or even look at me, so did mama. I got up from my seat and stood behind dad, then hugged him back. "I love you."

I noticed his bobbing shoulders– he's cryjng. I saw that mama was stunned for a moment while eating her food but that was only for a moment, because it had been eaten one after another with a teaspoon. "Stop crying Ronald." Mom sat with dad, but I knew she was crying too.

I laughed and separated from papa and hugged mama from behind, I could feel her stiffness. "I love you mama." I said softly and put my chin on his shoulder. Mama's tears flowed one after another from her eyes, until her cries grew louder and the rice spilled out of her mouth every time she coughed because of the suppression of a louder cry.

I laugh with tears in her condition now, if we were not really in this situation I might have avoided mama with disgust that she might have thrown rice on my face with a dish from her mouth. "I will miss you mom and dad." "Shhhh ... you will always remember that your dad and I loves you." Moment seems to be wrong ... this scene is familliar. After a while, your surroundings changed but I was still at home. This is the day when papa and mama tease us.

"MOM! COCKROACH! THERE'S A COCKROACH!" "KYAHHH !!!!" Mama froze, she squealed and hugged papa. I winked at my dad and gave him a look to ride-my-dad-ride. "WHERE?!" Mama mixed fear and annoyance saying that she was still trying to find the cockroach I was talking about. I really restrained myself from laughing out loud.

"MOM, IT'S BEHIND YOU!" Mama became even more stubborn and hugged papa even more, papa gave me a thumbs up while also holding back the laughter he hugged mama. "R-RONALD REMOVE IT !!! ... REMOVE IT NOW! ... RONALD !!!" I covered my mouth, I almost blushed to stop laughing, mama was like a worm when she hugged papa.

"Just a moment dear, do not move I will remove for you." Dad said, widening my smile even more, my lips were already torn and my cheeks were drooping with a big smile. "TAKE IT OUT!" "Here it is." A-ahh-what's going on? Here you feel again as if I was being sucked somewhere, I screamed. Mama and papa are getting farther and farther away, while I try to reach them. "MAMA!" "PAPA!" No matter what I shout, nothing happens. They do not hear me, until it is dark around them they disappear from my sight and I close my eyes.
