THE LOST COORDINATE

SILENT PLACE

A strange silence prevailed all around. You will notice nothing but the questions in their eyes. There is no mixed of lying, only pure happiness is written on the face of the little child as if he were lucky that day.

He sat down at the table with an unfazed smile on his lips. He carefully examined the remaining pages of the book and began to speak.

"Is this really the set of a so-called lie, on which now exists and is taking place? This is what contained in a millions of questions. The world is unaware of the change it faces. Whoever wrote this letter, I am sure no one has surpassed his wisdom. He is fearless and his determinations overflow. There is no sign of hypocrisy in this book.” He stated.

He approached 5050 and handed the book as if he had something to look forward to. It smiles and indicating something in his actions.

I focused my eyes on 5050. Amazement still prevailed in its eyes. Only now have I seen him so happy. The mixture of excitement and desire in what he heard. He is very different from the 5050 I have known for a long time. He quickly opened the book and carefully examined each page. It looked like a confused child; he didn't know what to do. Mixed emotions can be seen on his face.

Is it possible for a young child to know the capabilities of the 5050? Question stirring in my mind. No, he hasn't even talked to him, face to face. I’m pretty sure; this is the only time this meeting happened.

He came slightly closer to 5050's ear and whispered. It seems like a scenario of infidelity, the scenario of persuasion is something that may be, right or just a lie.

"Aren't you wondering about the shape of this place? Why each wall made of thick steel when there can only be one artificial stone? What do you think? I know you haven't seen the sun yet, how did it shine in the morning, and how it sinks every night. Do you still believe in the false show of this room? The pleasure, the smiles, the love, the cold feeling, morning or night, Isn't it weird? This is not a home consisting of a family. This place is full of loneliness. When will you wake up to the truth? You choose, keep quiet or ruin them all, those children who consider you as their friends and family.” He expressed.

Seems like his words are enlightenment for 5050, he slowly raised his head; its stares were very serious. The eyes express anger and calmness. What is going on in this room? Just like what I said, he’s not the 5050 I know.

Let's say that what is contained in the letter is true. Will we be safe in this room? We have no idea where the observant objects are placed. Perhaps at this very moment, they already know what is on our minds and what we are doing. I said slowly as the tension around me gradually disappeared.

Don't worry; there is no camera in this room. The same goes for the bathroom. So far, all I know is in the dining room. He said while turning away.

If that is so, your actions earlier in the dining room; don’t say you’re just doing that so you don’t get noticed? When did you find out? I asked with surprise.

Yeah, you’re right! He said seriously. It is located on the side, in the middle of two doors, where the whole room can be seen freely.

Ideal isn't it? Your arrival, your slow action, your curiosity, only you can make those things. They could not see the book. I'm just trying to prevent that from happening by covering up what I'm doing. If my suspicion is correct, there is also a camera in every bedroom. For now, let me discover them. Never do anything that will ruin everyone. And one more thing, no matter what happens; just keep this book here in the library. Ms. Melinda should not see it even the other kids. Act as if this conversation did not happen. There should be no change in how they know you or in the things you used to do.

A…B…C... D.Ii enjoy teaching my sister along with the other kids. The letter in the book never left my mind. Are they true? The only question for the missing answer, but I know that book is not just fiction. The details it says are very relevant to where we are now. Surely Ms. Melinda knows something that she doesn’t tell us. The question is, what exactly are they? I asked myself skeptically.

After teaching the children I quickly went to 5050 which was still in the library.

You think there is truth on what is contained in that book. Or, does he not understand them? We have no idea if the book says anything different from the words that come out of his mouth. What can you say? I asked 5050 who was sitting quietly and reading a book.

"His demeanor is gentle; I see no lie in his eyes. If he is not telling the truth, if his words are false, only you can tell." He replied while still looking at the book he was reading.

Now, he speaks differently than before, he no longer felt nervousness in his heart. What happened to you 5050? I asked in my mind. This is what I dream for him, but when you’re already in that dream, things seem to go too fast. Until now I still can't believe what my two eyes see. Why? I no longer know myself, the negative thoughts lurking in my mind. Why am I not happy for him?

“Don't think about it 22.” He said gently. “Whoever has enough ability to explore everything? That's him and no one else, the ability that surpasses all."

I was surprised by what he said; the words that came out on his mouth. Impossible! During my long stay here, only 5050, of all the students I knew had enough wisdom. I said to myself with full of surprise.

How about Ms. Melinda? What I don’t understand is, why did she let it be discovered? No, I'm sure she knew and she meant this thing to happen. But why, why would she let that happen if she himself was doing bad things to children? Why? Does she still care for them? I want to clarify it.

“Let's not jump to that conclusion. We do not yet know the full details contained in this area. We have no choice but to wait, wait and not make mistakes.”

I stop bothering him and just let this situation happen. I’d want to know what’s behind that letter, but I don’t know where to start. Just like what 5050 said, we can do nothing but to endure and wait for the other days to come. For now, I should forget those questions that playing in my mind and just focus on the day-to-day activities.

The days passed quickly and the long night appeared. Those days passed as I trying to forget the message contained on that book. It seems like those happenings is just like a strange phenomenon that quickly disappeared in my mind.

“Did you notice the new kid?” 1696 asked me while we're cleaning the bathroom. “This past few days, I didn’t see him often in the whole place. Do you know anything about this? It seems there is something strange about him. One day, after the breakfast, I followed him quietly and as usual, he goes to the library. But when I open the door, he wasn’t there. I carefully searched the whole place but did not see him even his shadow. Just to make sure, after breakfast I followed him again and with my own eyes, I saw him enter the door of the library, but you will notice nothing but the book and the silence of the whole library. I don’t want to believe, but it’s true, there’s something strange in this place.”

I was surprised by what she said. Gradually, questions formed in their minds, the one thing that makes me nervous.

1696! I looked straight into her eyes. Is there anyone who knows about this? Did you tell it to someone? I asked her seriously.

“Nothing. I only told it to you. I don’t know what to think, I know they won’t believe me.” She said it with fear and tear drops from her eyes.

I approached her slightly. Listen! What you did is right. No one should know about it, even 5425, Ms. Melinda, or the other kids. What you saw is true and his disappearance really happened. This place, there’s a mystery hiding on it. Those things that you wouldn’t want to see with your own eyes. That little boy, he will help us to know that thing. He knows something we have not yet begun to imagine. Believe me, it is for everyone's safety. I gently wipe the tears from her eyes and hug her tightly. I could feel the rapid beating of her heart, something that worries me.

A few days had passed and the mysterious disappearance of the little boy continued. The breakfast, after eating lunch in the afternoon, its unexpected appearance and its rapid disappearance, it looked like a quiet place, closed to whatever noise circulated around. It will only show up in a few minutes.

But surprisingly, Ms. Melinda did not even notice it. Not once did she look for it. What connects her to the book and even to the little boy? There’s a doubt in my mind.

“Smile, 22” 5050 reminds me as it walks towards the library room. He changed completely, in a flash a curse seemed to disappear from his body. Indeed, the beauty of a person can be seen when he has found his destination. His tender eyes were used to see only the darkness of night. His sad personality now can be compared to a tall tree. With his mysterious smile, I can say he is one of the most attractive of all students here.

Suddenly something came to my mind about the little boy. Isn't what the book contains true? What kind of hardship and suffering did the writer of the letter go through? I'm sure he doesn't want others to experience that. His unwavering dedication, the fearless approach to danger, no one can do that kind of bravery. And at the last moment, he was even able to leave a warning for all of us. I wanted to know why he chose to do those. "The curiosity I can't control in my personality." those mentioned tunnels, only it can provide the answer to this mystery.

I carefully looked around. What exactly is this place hiding? For once, I wanted to see the sunset and the bright moon in the sky, the fresh air in the morning, the cold pouring of heavy rain, the chirping of birds and other animals, and the sweet fragrance of the flowers, I don’t want them to be just dreams. What is our purpose in this world? Continue to live, or live for the will of others? Those are the sad voice in my mind.

I walked quickly to the library and gently opened the door. I can't imagine that this room will be quieter than ever before.

Do you know anything about the little boy, 5050? I gently asked him as he sat near the door.

“Whatever he’s doing, I’m sure it won’t harm us. Don’t worry; soon you will understand everything. By the time that day comes, I'm sure your habit will change. Ignore the silence of the whole place, wait for it to pass.” This is his serious response.
