Darkness Feelings

Family

Amato just smiles as he goes closer. He then patted Boboiboy's head and the boy could see a hint of sadness in his father's eyes. Ochobot who sees this understands as he holds onto Mechabot's hand

"Then both of us will help Tok Aba! Laksamana, look after Boboiboy, okay!" said Ochobot smile
"You got it" said Amato
"Are you sure, Ochobot? He's quite useless without me around. You remember right what happened yesterday when I was not around" said Mechabot
"That's because you didn't let me bring my own weapons from the station because this is just a vacation, you stupid robot!"

Amato hit Mechabot's head in frustration, which made Ochobot and Boboiboy giggle seeing the interaction and after that, Ochobot forced Mechabot out of the room leaving only the father and son in the room

"Are you okay, son?" asked Amato
"Yes dad, I'm fine... What's wrong anyway?" asked Boboiboy confused
"When we met Gelap and other elementals yesterday... Gempa told me the trigger of your loneliness"
"Wait a minute... Gempa knew all along?!"

The father then understood Gempa's words yesterday. Boboiboy himself didn't realize the trigger of his loneliness because he was used to not having Amato by his side

"Yes... And he also told me that you didn't realize it, but he kept it a secret from you because he was not sure at first" said Amato serious
"So... What is the trigger?" asked Boboiboy as he looked at his father in worry

Suddenly a movement from Amato made Boboiboy shock

Amato hugged him closely

Boboiboy himself is so confused by this sudden action

"D-dad?!" asked Boboiboy surprised
"I'm here, Boboiboy... I'm sorry for not being there for a long time by your side" said Amato in a low voice

It took Boboiboy a few minutes to finally understand what Amato was trying to say and also his trigger of loneliness which made him slap his forehead

"I got lonely because I need you on my side, right?" asked Boboiboy as he covered his face with his one hand
"That's what Gempa told me. He would not lie since Ochobot once told me that Gempa is the elemental that can feel what you feel the most" said Amato with a small smile
"I can't believe this... I didn't notice at all"

It also clicked Boboiboy's head as the moment his watch got into this problem at the same time as Amato visited TEMPUR-A but didn't meet the boy. Boboiboy himself managed to see him talking to Ramenman, but he didn't go to him since he was busy tending the power spheres with Fang

"I can't believe this..." said Boboiboy sighs
"It's alright, son... I'm also at fault for making you feel that in the first place" said Amato in a low voice
"It's not your fault dad! It was all-"
"No son... It's my fault. I leave you for years without visiting you or even talking to you about my activities or asking for your well-being. Your loneliness was triggered because of me, so let me make up for that"
"Eh?"
"We have a forced vacation at the same time, so why don't we have some father-son quality time together to make up all these years"

Boboiboy's eyes shot up and he couldn't believe what he was hearing as he let out some tears. He can't lie that he also missed his dad so much and so he nodded in agreement. Little did they know that Ochobot, Mechabot and Tok Aba were hearing their conversation right in front of the door in relief

"Finally he did it" said Mechabot sighs
"Hahahaha it was all thanks to Tok Aba for making it happen" said Ochobot smiling at the elderly
"You should thank Gempa as well. After hearing everything from him, I quickly called Maskmana to give a forced vacation to Amato" said Tok Aba smiling

Flashback

Gempa told him about his reasoning, saying that Amato might be the reason why Gelap is activated. Tok Aba who was hearing him and understanding the situation let out a smile to the elemental

"Why didn't you tell the others about this?" asked Tok Aba curious
"I'm not sure myself since I'm just assuming it, but the timing when Boboiboy looked at Laksamana Amato for the first time after so many years and the power watch started to become like this is just too matched. Not to mention, Boboiboy himself doesn't realize that he has loneliness inside him since he has his friends and us around him" said Gempa as he looked down
"You are not wrong at all Gempa. Loneliness is known as an emotion that people can detect immediately, but there are times when you don't realize you are lonely. It depends on their hearts, especially when they suddenly have flashbacks of their memories of being alone"

Hearing Tok Aba's reasoning seems to confirmed Gempa's assumption. Boboiboy is indeed lonely due to his flashbacks of not having his father figure by his side.

"How about I help you confirm your assumption?" asked Tok Aba with a smile
"Eh? You have an idea?" asked Gempa surprised
"I might have a chance to get Amato to visit us to meet Boboiboy again. It's a small chance he got to do it but do you want to try it?"
"I trust your judgment, Tok Aba. Please make it happen"

Tok Aba smiles as he pats Gempa's head and quickly calls someone with the home phone

Back to reality

"So it was you, Abah who got us back here" said Mechabot smiles
"Of course, if it's for my only grandson then I would do that!" said Tok Aba happily
"I can't believe you managed to do it" said Ochobot surprised
"Hehehe terbaik!"

Three of them gently close the door as they let the father and son have some quality time together after so many years of separation
