Life in the city of Greenfall does not escape their busy daily activities. The atmosphere of the city that looks crowded makes people feel at home in it. In a public housing estate in house number 16 to be exact, Jason Mizelian lives. He has spent more than half of his life in this house. Jason is a genius child even at school he always gets perfect grades. Thanks to his genius, he got many awards. Jason is also good at playing the piano. His love for the piano made him a young pianist even though he had never played in front of many people. Jason lives with his uncle in the midst of this cruel world. His life which he has been living for almost 10 years since he was 5 years old. The sunny morning made him feel comfortable with the atmosphere of the house that seemed to shine. Sunlight enters the window. There, Jason was sitting eating breakfast. Today is the day he has to go leave to school . After that, Jason went over there. As soon as he arrived at the school , all eyes were on him. The girls looked at him in admiration for his good looks. On the other hand, some people also caught a glimpse of it and apparently Jason was quite famous considering the genius he had. Finally, Jason reached his classroom. There, his friends were gathering and he also joined them who were chatting from earlier.
"Wow, you're quite popular. Look at how many fans you have ," said Dion, one of his classmates.
"What are you doing? Since when did you make it?” said Jason angrily
"It's been a long time. Dion deliberately created the account so that you have a fanclub," said Mario, who had been playing the game.
"Seriously."
"Come on. Too bad they don't get food. It might be stressful,” Leonard said, mocking him a little.
"You guys are annoying."
"Oh yeah, apparently you also got a new award huh?"
“Oh, that...”
"Wow, there's no doubt about that. you're a genius bro."
"Noisy. You just make me dizzy."
"How about after class, we'll go karaoke?" take Leonard
"I can't," Jason said
"Is your schedule busy?"
"Yes. Very solid."
"Wow it's you. Just once."
"You guys go."
"Then just cancel it. Because Jason didn't come it wouldn't be fun."
"You're right too. There won't be any girls watching it right."
"You guys really are."
While they were busy teasing Jason, soon the teacher came and class started. Today's schedule is morning and it's almost made my head explode. Time flies so fast, until the class is finally over. Jason then went with his friends and this time they were in a place that turned out to be an Internet Cafe. Jason who can only come and play games for a while makes them have to make fun of him again because of the busy schedule that awaits him. After Jason left the place, he then saw an old shop that had closed. Inside there are many old musical instruments. Day after day continues to pass. Jason who feels empty with his life then reads a book that tells the journey of a Napoleon. In his house which looks deserted he reads the book to the end. That's when Jason found a hope.
The life that everyone lives now is not in harmony. They all live under the shadow of fear that appears from time to time. Everything feels stifling memories of living in the past are no longer there. The memories that should have been embedded have now melted away. The entire city became silent at any moment. The boisterous voice of the people is like a persona. Jason, who was currently relaxing at his house, not long after that he got up from his seat and headed into a room. In the room there is a piano that has not been used for a long time. Jason then cleaned it and he remembered the last time he played it was when he was 7 years old that day. Jason slowly cleaned it until it looked like new. He then wiped the sweat off his forehead and immediately went back to tidying up the messy things in the room. Not long after, someone called out to him from outside. Jason immediately opened the door.
"Hello Jason, how are you?" said an old man carrying something in his hand.
"I'm fine, how about uncle?" Jason said and then motioned for him to sit down.
"Of course I'm fine too. Oh yeah, are you ready?”
"What for?"
“You forgot that today is a celebration party with my co-workers.”
"Why did you invite me?"
“This is an important event. You will know when you come there. Therefore, hurry up.”
"Oh yes yes."
Jason then went to his room and was about to get ready. Just then, his uncle saw a room that Jason had just cleaned. With a look that showed sadness he returned to the living room and sat there. It didn't take long for Jason to get ready and they were finally going somewhere. Arriving there, the two of them entered a building that turned out to be in it a lot of people who were passing by. They look busy. Jason then saw several people carrying things into a room. There, Jason and his uncle came to a party celebrating the appointment of what turned out to be friends of Jason's uncle. With a calm looking face, Jason walked over to it and then sat down on a chair with his uncle. Uncle Jason then waved at his friend. There, the people present were apparently not just anyone. They consist of the leader of a corporate group as well as several celebrities and politicians. Jason was just silent watching the show until it was over. When finished, Jason went to a toilet and when he was about to meet his uncle, suddenly he was surprised by the appearance of someone at a glance. The person seemed to have been in his shadow but he didn't remember it clearly. Jason who was silent then called by his uncle.
"Jason,"
"Yes uncle."
"Why are you silent?"
"What should I do?"
"Try to say hello to them."
'Troublesome,' Jason thought
Jason then greeted those who were there and then had a short chat. While he was chatting suddenly someone came up to him. That person was a young boy who was one year older than him. That person was George Maximus. One of his seniors at school and his childhood friend .
"Jason, you were there too," said George
"Oh, George. How are you?"
"I'm in good shape. how about you?"
"Me, too."
"So you came here too. I thought you wouldn't be interested."
"This is all because of uncle. Did you come with your family too?”
"Yeah you're right. they keep forcing me.”
"That's how it looks."
"Yes. See you later."
"Yes."
George then left with someone. Jason, who was already bored, finally decided to return to his house. As soon as he arrived at his house, Jason then came into the room and sat in the chair in front of the piano. He was starting to feel nostalgic. Slowly Jason played Sonata's tune. The beautiful melody that sounded in an instant made him relax. Today Jason was just in the room looking at some photos of his past memories of being a pianist. It didn't stop there, Jason also began to realize something in the faint shadows. Something that looked terrible appeared in his memory and instantly made him suffocate. Not long after, Jason went to his room and lay down on the bed holding his breath.
In a place not far from the city center. A man was on his terrace and saw a night filled with stars. An eye-pleasing view under the silence. A few minutes later, someone called him and the man immediately picked up the call.
"Hello?"
"Were you there?"
"Yes. I was in the land of Greenfall. Did something happen?”
“Hurry back and do your job.”
"Ah, even though I was just about to take a vacation."
The call was then hung up. The old man looked back at the night sky and he seemed to fall into comfort. A silent world without a melody. Darkness slowly swallowed everything up. People no longer remember the beauty of it. the longer it feels the more empty. Silence continues to dominate making this world colorless. The next day, Jason's uncle, Tomy, opened his museum gallery again. There are many people who visit and see many historical items. Tomy was a museum owner and worked as an artist in his youth before he lost his job and opened a historical museum that is nothing but long lost objects. His hobbies like that make him the owner of the place while forgetting something.
Jason woke up and then he was surprised that it was too late. Jason who was in a hurry then went to school . Luckily, class hadn't started yet so he wasn't really late. Seeing Jason who had just arrived, made Leonard and the others ask him.
"You just came," Leonard said
“Let me guess, you woke up late?” said Dion
"You guys are so loud."
"Well, it's true. really unbelievable.”
"Never mind, isn't that a sign that Jason is human," said Mario
"Do you think aliens?"
"It's so peaceful this morning."
"Irritating."
They continued to taunt Jason mercilessly until class finally started. An awful day happened in Jason's life. They are currently in class and not long after , someone is surprised by their arrival. Everyone then looked outside and apparently they were the people who were under the organization. Jason then noticed someone and remembered something. His memory was blurry and dark as Jason slowly felt dizzy.
