My contribution for #GoGoGopalDay) and Father's Day in Malaysia.
Time flies so fast, some people even don't believe that they're half though the year. June, the 6th of the 12 months.
So fast in fact that even today it's the nearly the end of June.
Even a teenager in green wouldn't believe how's today is a special day. He really felt like they've just celebrated it yesterday, or mabye few hours ago.
20th June, the day he was born.
"Happy birthday, Gopal!" He never thought he will got a tight yet sudden hug from his best friend wearing his beloved cap and his theme in orange. He sometimes imagines him as a real juicy orange fruit.
He loosen the hug, followed by Yaya, Ying and Fang wishing a happy birthday and give presents to him.
"Sorry that I didn't gave you any presents this year. I went into a lot of troubles, yet I couldn't find that matches to you..." The superhero teenanger, BoBoiBoy, felt ashamed. Every year, he would always gives him something like the others. He thought he's not a good friend like he used to thought.
"Ah, that's okay! Atleast you came and wish me a happy birthday, right?" Gopal really knows how to brighten his mood up. BoBoiBoy nooded, followed by the others.
_________________________________________
BoBoiBoy took a glance at a yellow red striped present, as Gopal told him to take guard. The orange teenager kept thinking sus about it. It can't be a present for Gopal since why would he told him to guard a present for himself? Why does he have to take guard anyway? Is it that important? For whom this present goes to?
"Gopal!" The person who called took a glance at the orange teenanger. "May I ask, who's this present for?"
"Oh that, forgot to tell you, hehehe..." Gopal scratches his hair definitely not because of it's itchy. "Well, do you know what today is? Other than my birthday?"
His mind was still loading, trying to gain as much data as he can. It didn't take long for him to realize, "Isn't today Fat--"
"Gopal! How's the party?" A familiar Indian voice can be heard not far from them. A man with Indian blood have just arrived at the Kokotiam, where his son is at. "Appa!"
He quickly grab into his shoulders, acting like he hasn't seen him for years. He loves his mother's curry, but he will always loves his beloved ones. Kumar hug him back and give a slight rub on his head. "Happy... Father's Day, Appa!"
Ah, what a sweet moment we got here, everyone thought. These father and son sure seems close, yet the father could be annoyed by his son sometimes. The father took a glance at the present his son gave, wanting to open it up. "Eh, not now, Appa!"
"What? Why not?"
Everyone really enjoyed the show here, especially Gopal and Kumar. They knew sometimes they could argue a lot, sometimes they just wanna have fun. Gopal will never forget of his father slapping him with a rattan, he don't always do that but who knows? It could be a daily activity one day.
BoBoiBoy gave a thumbs up, saying his usual phrase, "Hehe, terbaik!"
Little do they know, the orange teenanger can sense a nostaliga from them. The man he admired so much, the man he used to see everyday with his wife, the man he would miss the whole day. Even his fans knows about it.
"IT'S WEDNESDAY EVERYONE!!! MEANING: "BOBOIBOY MISSING HIS DAD" HOURS"
Time flies so fast, and he couldn't deny that.
"Hey"
He can felt a slight tap on his right shoulder. His body can't move for a second. He did not ask this to be happening so sudden.
"Miss me, kiddo?"
That voice, that voice seems deeper then the last time he remembered, yet still feels familiar to his ears. His mouth was shut tight, he took few steps until he was ready.
"DAD!!!" He runs and hug his beloved man. Not even a second passes, he can already getting the sense of warm to the hug. He tried to not let tears drop as he remembered he's a 14-15 year old teenager, not a 1 year old anymore.
'Time flies so fast, and he couldn't deny that.'
"A-Amato..?" A different case for Tok Aba who's decades older than BoBoiBoy, his tears was already dropped to the ground, his face was in disbelief, not believing what's he seeing right now. The man in black shirt replied, "Yes, Aba..."
Tok Aba quickly gave a hug, followed by his son gently hug him back. He knew from he was a kid, his dad has been going though a lot. Especially taking care of 2 superheros in 2 generations.
"Eh? Where's Mechabot--"
"Hei, Aba! Long time no see!" A robot in red appear from Tok Aba's behind. Tok Aba chukled and gave a slight pat for him. "Heh, you look kinda old now"
"WHAT DID YOU SAY? I GREET YOU WITH POLITE WORDS AND THIS IS YOUR RESPONSE???"
Typical Mechabot, the orange teenager laughed. He couldn't believe he forgets Mechabot could be that sensitive.
"Ok, calm down, it's just a joke. You are getting old, but you still look the same"
"Can't believe robots can get old too-- Hey! BoBoiBoy!"
"Mechabot!" the boy patted the red power sphera, followed by the power sphera itself hugging the boy. He never realized how well the baby has grown up.
The red power sphera realizes, someone was peeking them. He loosen the hug and floats closer to the Kokotiam. A blushing yellow power sphera is seen not far. "Hello? I'm Mechabot, who are you?"
"U-um..." he would not dare to talk. Considering he's facing with the great legendary armored hero, Amato, and his 'patner', Mechabot. "I-I'm..."
"Don't worry little fella, I heard you're my son's patner, right?" Ochobot response with a nod. "M-my name is Ochobot, btw..."
"Ochobot! Nice to see you!" Mechabot grabs one of his iron arms, shaking it aggresively. He might be a little bit too exicted for this.
"Wait, that power sphera, are you the legendary armored hero?!" Fang took a glance at the Mechabot, followed by a shock with everyone else. The man only response with a soft yet cheeky smile, leading Fang, Yaya, Ying, and Gopal rushing do the TAPOPS salute.
"You guys, you don't need to be that formal to me..." Amato chukled and laugh, leaving the gang confused about his actions. "Don't worry guys, he's just my father"
For 1 second, Gopal could felt, a slight pat from his head. But that pat felt different. It doesn't feel like his own father's pat.
"You did a great job accompanying my son while I was away, I'm proud of you all"
His face turn red, refusing to believe what's happening. He was speechless, while seeing the armored hero.
"Don't touch him. He's cute yet the only person who's allowed to touch him is me"
The man took a glance at another man, Kumar. "What do you mean? Isn't my son the cutest out of the cutest?"
"You must be joking, right?"
"Do I look like joking to you?" Amato fold his arms in front of his chest, giving a sign that he's in a serious mode. C'mon Amato...
"Oh, so you're serious in fact you want a match then?"
"Meh, I know who's gonna win anyway"
"Please stop sending your lame jokes, Ambassador Amato"
No matter who is it, even an ambassador, even a legendary hero, he will always defend his only one cutest son. Even if he kinda dislikes him sometimes.
The kids were speechless. The girls trying to calm them down, the boys, especially BoBoiBoy and Gopal, just stand there with an embarrassment in their faces.
Today is really a special day, kinda. Luckly, they managed to get to calm them down before things get worse. After that, they went to many places in that island, especially the beach. Suprisingly, Yaya's father came with them and spent some time with his wife, the two of his children, and others.
Amato decides to spent the most of the time with his son and his son's friends, sometimes he would also talk with Kumar and Yaya's father for a while.
"Heh, seems like they have a love-hate relationship then..." BoBoiBoy whispred to himself seeing his dad and Kumar talks together nicely now.
This day really felt special. Everyone, promised that they'll treasure this moment until the last day of their lifes. Especially Gopal.
"I just hope I would remember this moment..." his heart saids to himself.
