IRIS [English Version]

Permission

"I love you,dad."

"I love you too...My dear child."

They just hugged each other with full of emotion. Seeing the atmosphere made BoBoiBoy's heart skip a beat.

Ali released the hug with a smile.

"So, will you allow me to stay with BoBoiBoy?" Ali asked full of hope. Dr. Ghazali looked at BoBoiBoy before sighing a little.

"If that's what you think is best, then I'll allow it." said Dr. Ghazali.

Listening to Dr. Ghazali's granted his permission made Ali happy. He threw a hug for his father again.

"Thank you dad!" said Ali repeatedly. Dr. Ghazali happily nodded and hugged his son tightly.

"Don't forget to call me, okay? Take care of yourself..." said Dr. Ghazali. Ali nodded quickly.

"I promise! Er.. Can I pack the rest of my things from the house?" asked Ali.

He asked politely despite it being his own home too.

Dr. Ghazali nodded and Ali went up to his room.

Finally he can get away from Cyberraya!

Away from Cyberraya, away from MATA!

When Ali disappeared to his room, Dr. Ghazali turned to face BoBoiBoy.

"BoBoiBoy, do you know all about this?" asked Dr. Ghazali. BoBoiBoy nodded.

"I've heard it from him. Now I want to heard it direct from you." said Dr. Ghazali.

BoBoiBoy was actually quite surprised.

Does Dr. Ghazali doesn't believe Ali?

"I know Ali. He's really good at lying to cover up the real story. The story he was bullied is true, but the one to live with you is a bit suspicious. So, tell me. What really happened?" Asked Dr. Ghazali.

BoBoiBoy chuckled.

Dr. Ghazali really shown the reason why he is one of the three main leaders of Cyberraya.

"You're sharp,uncle. And here I thought we could avoid talking about this.." said BoBoiBoy.

"Okay, uncle, do you remember the big explosion that happened two months ago?"

Dr. Ghazali nodded.

"Good, there is...a group of boys...Eh,I will just keep it simple! Uncle, Ali is one of the young MATA agent."

BoBoiBoy speaks frankly.

He didn't have the heart to lie to Dr. Ghazali after seeing how sad he was when he wanted to let Ali go.

"MATA young agents? They train kids to be agents?"asked Dr. Ghazali.

Oh wow,so he knows about MATA as well?

"H-How did you know?"

"Dear child,I literally worked there,of course I knew!" replied Dr. Ghazali.

"Okay, it's nice to know. Save my time. Well, to cut the story short, the young MATA agents don't like Ali because of an incident that Ali couldn't control. They treated Ali badly. The day the  explosion happened, Ali was carrying out a mission nearby and was left behind GEGAS protocol because he was trapped in there but he was able to free himself."

Dr. Ghazali could only listen while restraining his anger.

"After Ali escaped with injuries, he returned to the MATA Academy, but after he heard what the young agents of MATA said, he decided to run. Supposely,Ali is presume dead but I don't know why MATA didn't say nothing."

"So he ran to Pulau Rintis to look for you..." Dr. Ghazali added.

BoBoiBoy nodded.

Dr. Ghazali shook his head slowly before looking at BoBoiBoy. He put his hand on the young superhero's shoulder.

Dr. Ghazali; I am so grateful because you helped him..

BoBoiBoy smiled a little.

"Ali is like my brother,uncle." said BoBoiBoy making Dr. Ghazali and he laugh.

Shortly after, Ali came down with a backpack on his back. BoBoiBoy looked at the time on his power watch

"Okay uncle, we have to leave now." said BoBoiBoy. Dr. Ghazali nodded.

Ali hugged his father again tightly.

"Take a good care of yourself, alright dad? I promised I will always contact you." said Ali. BoBoiBoy gave something to Dr. Ghazali.

"This is a holo-communicator. With this, you can contact Ali even if we are far away." said BoBoiBoy. Dr Ghazali kept the small plate in his shirt pocket.

"Thank you."

Dr. Ghazali escorted them both to the front door. Comot from earlier meowing  asking to come along.

"It's not possible Comot. You have to stay here with dad.. Who will take care of dad if you're not there? I promise I'll be back, okay?" persuaded Ali.

Aaaaa adorable...

"Eh, wait. How about the news of you being kidnapped? Shouldn't we settle that first?" asked BoBoiBoy. Ali was silent for a moment.

He forgot his status which is still missing.

"You don't have to worry about that. I will take care of it." said Dr. Ghazali. He then knelt in front of Ali.

"Ali..Take care of yourself, okay? Don't forget to eat, sleep enough. Don't think about anything else, okay? Listen to what BoBoiBoy is saying!" Dr. Ghazali's reminder made Ali chuckle with tears pooling in his eyelids.

"Okay dad... You too. Don't work too hard. Don't forget to rest."

Ali hugged his father for the last time.

"I love you,Dad.."

Dr. Ghazali hugged his son tightly, his heart is heavy to let him go,but can't do anything.

Ali had made a decision.

They let go of the hug and Dr. Ghazali wiped Ali's tears.

"See you soon son."

"Bye dad. Peace be upon you."

"Peace be upon you too,Ali."

With a final hug, Ali and BoBoiBoy walked to BoBoiBoy's motobike. After starting the engine and wearing a helmet, they waved towards Dr. Ghazali for the last time before speeding off and disappearing.

Dr. Ghazali just smiled bitterly.

"If you can see your son now, you must be proud...Aliya.."

At the traffic light where the light was red and BoBoiBoy stopped, he turned to Ali.

"I'm proud of you. You did your best." said BoBoiBoy making Ali smile.

He feels free from guilt.

Now is his time to build a new life, a new identity.

Time to build a new Ali.
