MiLoh BSGSSB Adventures

Chapter 21:Is MiLoh still alive?

Rocky's POV

Dear Diary,
Today i had the hugest shock of my life. It was so horrible it gave me instant trauma for at least 15 minutes.

So today we went to class as per normal,and everyone was chatty like normal. Both me and Tetra knew ahead of everyone else that Aunty Jian-Ms Ong had purposely made Dad and Uncle MiLoh the form teachers of my class again,so we were super excited. After all,what's a new year with the dads as the form teachers again? We sat down and waited.

But the problem was,no matter how long we waited,Dad and Uncle MiLoh didn't come. In fact,we waited until recess,and they still hadn't appeared. Our previous year's class rep went to next door to ask the teacher for permission to go for recess. The teacher said she also hadn't seen Uncle MiLoh or Dad either. Me and Tetra both walked down to the canteen worriedly.

Our fears were increased when we saw the Band Gang Aunties all huddled up at a table. If even Uncle Yang had made the effort to come down and discuss things,it must be pretty serious. Tetra and me slid over to their table. Aunty Xuan was still at her stall,too busy to join them just yet. "What's going on,Aunty Yokie?"asked Tetra worriedly. Aunty Yokie jumped out of her seat and almost fell. "Aah Tetra!!! Thank goodness you're here,we are reassured." Tetra raised an eyebrow. "What?" Uncle Yang's eyes were actually wide open. "Have you seen MiLoh and MSB anytime today? They're your form teachers again right? And you probably did see them this morning."she said urgently. Tetra shook her head. "No,Mom sent me to school today. Rocky usually leaves without her dad."she said. Aunty Diya's eyes widened. "Omigosh,this is worse than we thought."she muttered. I couldn't take it. "Can someone please tell us what's going on?" Aunty Rathi looked us both in the eyes. "Guys,we haven't seen your dads for the whole morning."

"Whaat? That's impossible."said Tetra. "Dad always comes to work. So does Uncle MSB." Aunty Diya shook her head. "But you didn't see them in the morning right? Were they in the house still when you left school?" I thought,and realised that i usually just got up and did the usual routine like a ghost that i hadn't noticed Dad had actually gotten up today at all. Usually he'd be up already,and give me a kiss on the cheek before i headed off for school,but today there was nothing. I scratched my head. "You're right. Where IS Dad?" Aunty Yokie shrugged. "THAT'S what we're trying to find out. MiLoh and MSB are usually one of the earliest people to reach school,but they're still not here." I suddenly felt a bit worried. "Okay guys,"said Aunty Diya,slapping the table and scaring everyone around her(ooh i think someone bit herself)"it's confirmed:MiLoh is missing."

At the mention of those words,we heard a loud-hmm screech? Shriek? I don't know what sound it was. It went "AAAAEEEEOOOOOORRRRRIIIUUUHHHGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!"like someone was slaughtering a pig,and then a loud crash followed. Aunty Diya facepalmed. "Must be Xuan again. Come on y'all." We got up and went to her stall,where we saw a shocked Aunty Xuan staring at a spilt pot of porridge on the floor. There were porridge stains on her apron,her hair was coming out of her ponytail,and some parts of her arm were a bit red. "Omigosh Xuan are you okay?"said Jo. Aunty Xuan picked up the spilt pot of porridge and placed it carefully in the sink. "Aah i'm fine. Sweet Salazar,i spent the whole night making that porridge. Sigh!"she said. She looked up at us. "Looks like i have to close up shop for today. Don't have anymore porridge to spare y'all,sorry folks. By the way,"she said,making her way out of her stall,"did you say MiLoh was missing?"

Aunty Rathi nodded. Aunty Xuan suddenly looked really spooked. "What if..."she muttered,trailing off and leaving us feeling scared. "What if what?"asked Tetra. Aunty Xuan hesitated. "We call this...when a teacher dies." I choked on my saliva and ended up hacking away while Aunty Yokie thumped on my back. "DIES?! NO MY DAD'S NOT DEAD OUR DADS ARE NOT DEAD"screamed Tetra frantically. Uncle Yang gave Aunty Xuan a hard kick. "Damn you man,you scared them. Use the right words for Yoongi's sake,they don't know what 'dies' actually means yet." I looked up at Uncle Yang,still coughing. Aunty Diya rolled her eyes. "What Xuan here actually means is not that the person dies,but that the person...is no longer in the school. Transferred,or resigned." A lump formed in my throat. Dad resigned? This couldn't be. "But...but our dads won't resign...would they?"i asked shakily. No one answered.

The rest of the day was horrible. Aunty Clarice was informed,none of us could reach Uncle MiLoh or Dad. We really feared that they had actually resigned(i'm not using the word "die" it's friggin inauspicious. I dunno why Aunty Xuan uses it she's also crazy about auspicious like me)and they didn't tell us. It felt...strange and empty to not see your dad at work. Aunty Clarice had growled. "Don't worry kids,when i see that MiLoh Packet i ensure you i will kick his butt so hard he flies to Venus,"she said viciously.

When i got home,i saw Dad on the sofa. Without thinking i tossed my schoolbag aside and flung myself onto the sofa on top of him,causing him to choke. "What the-COOOUUGGGHHH HOLEY HOGSMEADE KID WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU"he gasped. "Did you leave Bandset?"i asked,staring at him. He shook his head incredulously. "No! Of course not,darling! Why would you think of such a stupid idea?" I then proceeded to explain everything to him,and he laughed and coughed again. "Well,me and MiLoh are both sick. I think it's the fried carrot cake we had yesterday,i'm pretty sure i saw the stall vendor sneeze into it(author's note:omigod i feel sick anyone have plastic bag)" i stared at him in disbelief. Then,i started smacking him. It wasn't painful,he even doubled over in laughter. "AAAHH WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU CHILD WHAT DID THE BAND GANG SAY THIS TIME"he choked. The phone rang,and i picked it up to hear Aunty Xuan,Uncle Yang,Aunty Diya,Aunty Jo,Aunty Rathi and Aunty Yokie's voices. "Atta girl,Rocky!"
