ENGENE ( Boboiboy Fanfic )

CHAPTER 3

( PART 3 )
(Tok Aba's kokotiam shop)

The trees swayed all according to the wind that blew by as if to say that a storm was coming. Although it was still sunny, everyone in Rintis island still prepared themselves. Everyone here still went on with their lives, nothings changed much and it was peaceful enough to say that there hadn't been any alien terrorising earth.

An impatient looking Api tapped his foot on the concrete floor with crossed arms. He had been frowning since this morning and he was bored through the core. He wanted to play and release bits of his flames so much so that smokes from heat were steaming out of his head.

Next to him was a zoned out Air. The plushie shaped whale hanged on his arms for comfort. Unlike Api, he was much more calm and patient.

The two of them were told to take care of the kokotiam shop for the day. Tok Aba had went to check the stocks of cocoa's in the farm while ochobot were back at TEMPUR-A station for research purposes.

It had been two weeks already since Angin disappeared.

Within that span of two weekS time, everyone tried their best to located Angin's whereabouts. None of them expected that TEMPUR-A station could be hit by a heavenly body vortex. The phenomenon happened after they've been told that a storm of celestial bodies were headed towards the direction of the station. The size of that thing was massive, enough to cover an entire size of the moon.

Celestial vortex was something every living thing in the galaxy fears of. It's a wave of storm that's dangerous enough to split your body to pieces or send you to an unknown Abby's. It's a body of a disaster that none has ever survive if come with contact.

None is known about it and it was best left unknown for safety reasons.

A man's mind cannot fathom such large quantity of enigma.

Api groaned from frustration. "How long are we gonna stay here?" He'd ask his twin beside him.

"Forever." Replied Air.

"Can we play something?"

"No."

"Whyyyyy???" Api whined with tears present on the corner of his eyes.

Air glanced at him, a dumbfounded look plastered on his face.

"Angin just seriously disappeared and all you can think about is playing?"

Api, "I'm fire I'm supposed to be wild and running around."

"Plus was it even our fault that he tried to go and sneak out during the celestial storm?"

Angin that time sneaked out from work without anyone noticing. He was curious why everyone had to prepare for something so much so he opted to explore the outside vicinity of the station.

Everyone only knew he was gone after the storm passed. And now without Angin, Boboiboy couldn't return back to one.

Which isn't an issue.

But Boboiboy can't split into Seven for a long time. It might corrupt him or any of the elements.

"It was half of our fault for not monitoring thoroughly." Air stated in a murmur.

5:32 Am

Morning already came after the heavy rain fall last night. Few dark clouds were starting to move and separate as well as dissipate as time passes. The sunlight from the rising sun slowly starts to envelope Siasi island in it's magnificent scenery. The dew drops falls down to the damp and muddy soil leaving smaller drops of liquid from the same spot.

The rain droplets reflected the sun's light causing it to create an illusionary disco balls on the grass, trees and crops. It was something most tourists loved the most.

To basks in the fresh breeze of the wind all the while basking ones face into the sunlight.

Nothing was more peaceful than this moment.

Rai went downstairs to grab some breakfast after the long night of staying awake. She had grown prone to insomnia few years back, it wasn't terrible back then yet being unable to sleep in an early schedule became a habit.

Hence her insomnia grew worse.

During the night hours she kept awake, Rai would stare on the ceiling waiting for the drowsiness to take it's play. But it wouldn't come and the only way she could forcefully make herself sleep was taking sleeping pills.

Rai didn't like getting up early in the morning, unlike in the past. She was always excited for the night to pass by so she could play in the morning with her friends. Everything was perfect back then; families and neighbors, school and at home. Such good times never seemed to lasts as they should.

Rai winced at the memories that came flooding in when she started reminiscing things. The sharp stabbing throb from the back of her head have kept her pushing forward from all these years. Anxiety was never a good thing in her life, especially when she left the island and started living alone. Earning money and supporting her own expenses without help from her relatives and parents.

There was never been a day where Rai stopped working tirelessly to save money for her everyday necessities. Although her mom would constantly deliver her some stocks of food, she didn't really tried using any of the things sent to her. She thought that if she kept relying on her mother, she would kept rely on them for the rest of her life.

The sad past caused a great painful impact to her. So much so that she'd try and bury that memory down the ground without any second thoughts. The betrayal she felt during that day was ten times the amount of a man being tortured.

Once Rai got herself some freshed homemade bread with peanut butter and jelly, her hand swung over to the right, in time to catch the almost falling glass of water in a swift manner.

Stupid reflexes.

After having breakfast she left the house to get to the restaurant that her grandmother still owns. Rai slipped her hands within the pockets of her reddish hoodie, strolling around the streets to observe and compare what it looks like now to how it looked like back then when she was a kid.

It was all too different.

Something about the place had changed so much that she'd forgotten what or how the former interiority of few houses and building's looked like.

"I'm here."

Rai announced entering the shop's door with the chime of bells echoing around the vicinity. There wasn't any customer as of yet so maybe Rai thought she had been too early. But the note left by her grandmother told her that she should already come to the place and start tidying things up.

Jay and her grandmother must've went to the farm to get the stocks of food while also re-checking everything. Rai knew they wouldn't be back until at 10 o'clock best.

She'd been working in this eatery since she was a child so of course she knew every little piece of ingredients and food to the drinks that would be served in the menu. Thank goodness the menu that her grandmother always sells didn't change that much, although there are few new special drinks, it wasn't that hard to follow the steps in making them from her grandmother's recipe book.

Chime from the door startled Rai.

The copper eyed girl turned around in a fast motion ready to pounce at any danger. Her thinking and actions were stopped for a bit when an unfamiliar person entered the shop.

They both made eye contact.

Sky blue eyes reflecting in her copper colored ones.

Rai immediately straighten her posture. "We aren't open yet."

That seemed to have come off a bit cold? But it wasn't Rai's problem if the other party took it as a misunderstanding.

Angin looked a bit perplexed and nervous from how the girl in front of him sounded. Her voice could be interpreted as rude yet she didn't held any malice on her face- Angin guessed it was a part of her personality already. So instead he'd smile at her in shyness.

"Uh, yes, um.. is it alright if i work here?"

Rai blinked. "Ha?"
