Thursday comes, it's seven in the morning, Fluke stands in front of his house, patiently waiting for Ohm. With his earphones on, he's listening to a piece of good, calming music, loving how the cold air smells right now that it's still early. He's going to spend the day with Ohm, he's going to meet Ohm's parents as well, he has to make his parents like him.

After several minutes Ohm arrives on his motorbike, he excitedly gets on his back, while humming. Ohm makes sure that Fluke is sitting close to him and his arms wrapping around him tightly before they go.

It was 3 hours far from the city, they arrive at a bungalow house, with a small garden in front. Ohm stops his bike in the garage, and as they arrive, the rain starts falling hard. Ohm's mother comes out of the house after hearing the motorbike with a spoon in her hand, her eyes lit up when she recognizes his son and excitedly rushes towards the two.

"Ohm!" Ohm's mom greets, hugs her child.

"Ma," Ohm rubs his mom's shoulder as they pull away from each other. "Mix can't come home, he said aunt needs help in the restaurant. Where's Pa?"

"Oh, it's fine. We spoke last night. Your father? He's in the shower." She grabs her son's arm and squeezes it lightly, "You should've told mom you'd come. I could've prepared your favorite food." She frowns.

"It's fine, ma. I just came here to visit. I missed home. " The mother and son smile at each other, when Ohm's mom seems to notice Fluke.

Fluke beams at her and bow to Ohm's mom, to show respect. "Hello, mom, my name is Fluke."

"Oh, Fluke! You're cute! Are you Ohm's friend? " Ohm's mom walks to Fluke to hold his face between her palms.

"He's a brother," Ohm replies to his mom, which made Fluke's smile disappear on his face. Ohm's mom seems to notice it as she taps Ohm's arm while furrowing her brows,

"Come inside, it's raining, I'll make tea."

Ohm's mom grabs Fluke's hand and the three enter the house.

The day went on fast, Ohm planned to take his parents and to the park, but it's raining hard, so they just stayed at home. Seems like Ohm's parents like Fluke a lot too, as his mother cooked and baked a lot, making sure Fluke would enjoy them all while Ohm's father always checking that Fluke is having a good time. Fluke, feeling happy yet strange experiencing the love of parents. This is the first time that he experienced this kind of pleasure.

It's dinner time, Fluke contentedly watches the three people around him talk and laugh with each other's stories and comments. He notices Ohm checks his watch then look outside. He leans to his side to whisper to him.

"What's wrong, Phi?"

"It's still raining hard outside, how can we go home?" The elder replies.

"Oh, son? Are you not staying here tonight?" His mother asks after hearing the two's conversation.

"Ah, yeah... I have an early class tomorrow, so was planning to leave tonight, too."

"Let's just wait for the rain to stop, phi." the younger advises.

"Ohm, didn't you check the news? There's a typhoon today. I thought you knew." His father tells them before taking his glass to drink water.

Ohm stops for a while and looks at Fluke, the latter is also looking at him with his mouth slightly open, having no idea as well.

Ohm pulls his hair and sighs, he doesn't open the TV in his apartment and rarely checks his social media accounts.

"So this is why it's been raining hard since earlier," he says to himself.
