(Rudra's Pov)
Dream Space
" But how do we get out of here?" (Han Lei)
Now this is our biggest problem. Looking at everyone's faces I can guess they don't have any idea. Miss. Terra said that Dream Space will close in 1 hour. We spent 10 minutes in introducing ourself and 10 minutes sitting awkwardly, 10 minutes arguing between ourself so we have to spend 30 more minutes here, so that we can go home.
" Mrs. Terra said that Dream Space will close in 1 hour, we already spent 30 minutes, so let's wait here for 30 more minutes. Dream Space will close after that." (Anna)
" How about we just talk casually about our daily lives?, no complicated stuff."
Everyone nodded, they all seem to agree with me except Juliana, she must be angry because nobody listened to her suggestion. Not my problem though.
" So who will go first?"
Oh! Romero raises his hand to nominate himself.
" Go ahead."
" My life in Africa is pretty easy, I am a mechanic and do some random job to earn everyday income. I don't have any parents, I was raised as an orphan. But it doesn't matter now though, I have a loving wife and a 2 years old daughter. Except some money problems and dirty work, my life is full of happiness." (Romario)
" What do you mean by dirty work?" (Andrew)
" Life isn't all about good things, dirty work like dealing in drugs, gang fights, hunting and other things alike. As you all know Africa isn't much developed country, so things like these are like normal occurrence. " (Romario)
" Isn't that a bad thing, shouldn't you report to authorities?" (Andrew)
Does this guy not know the dark side of humanity?, oh Andrew my dear friend you need some help in this matter. Anyway, that comes later, Romario's life sounds interesting.
" You will understand later, life isn't all about good things. There were times when I had to risk my life, I didn't even know if I will be able to go back home alive. What will happen to my wife and daughter if I don't make it out alive?. sniff... sniff...."(Romario)
I patted his back to calm him down. Romario had a sad look in his eyes while mentioning things about his life, he also mentioned some dark days of his life. I get where he's from, I've also seen some things that shouldn't be seen.
Everyone has a look of understanding after hearing Romario's life experience.
Miss. Terra said that we all have exceptional will power among humans, may be others also have gone through some kinda of events for them to have exceptional willpower. A group of people who had lived a fucked up life huh.. and I am also included in them. I wonder what future hold for us?. It's quite funny isn't it? we haven't even lived long enough but seen things other older people haven't.
" I am sorry guys, I just wanted release some burden from my heart. Thanks for listening."(Romario)
" It's all right, everybody here's been through a shitty life."
I don't know how to console someone, so I just reassured him saying that there are people like him outside. It will at least help him calm down. We all fell silent after that until...
[ Time remaining till Dream Space collapse : 05 Minutes ]
" Time sure went by fast huh, everyone I will contact you tomorrow for further discussion. "(Anna)
" How will you contact us?, you don't even know our mobile number"
" Then give it to me now, I have an exceptional memory."(Anna)
Should I just punch this girl? just one punch.
Just like that we exchanged our numbers or specifically just told her. Neon hesitated a bit though but gave in reluctantly, seriously this guy? It's not like we are going to kill you or your family. I even had a doubt whether he gave his real mobile number or a fake one.

" Goodbye everyone!"
Finally, I can go back to sleep now.
