the Missing Light

CHAPTER 13

Ochobot didn't know what happened with the boys but he can feel it

Feel something is off

especially solar who has been locking himself in his room for two days straight, he even eats there! Only coming out for the bathroom,it's a good thing it was the weekends and there was no school, tanah has been trying to coax him out of the room but to no vail, there's literally a "DO NOT DISTURB" sign in the front of his door

The very door that ochobots has been staring for a long time, complicating if he should knock or not

With a deep breath ochobot raised his robotic arm and knocked "cahaya? It's me, I brought you food"

It only took a minute before the said door opened and cahaya's frame came to view

His appearance to say the least was not so bad, he looks tired and sleepy but other than that he looks fine, nothing a little bit of rest can't fix

"Ochobot? Come in" he said softly to the poor power sphera
"You can put the tray in the table"

And ochobot did, cahaya closed the door while rubbing his eyes, ochobot took a look at what was keeping cahaya busy for 2 days and found his desk full of papers,  his trash full of crumpled papers

Now in contrary belief, cahaya's room is not that bad, actually it was clean and organize which was to be expected from the youngest septuplet, him being a clean freak he hates messy things, sometimes they don't know if they should be bother by it or just let him be

They choose to let him be, save them the trouble of arguing with him and besides atleast the house will always be clean, and they won't need to do anything

They didn't say the out loud but with the way tanah gave them a disapproving look it was clear he knew exactly what was in their mind

"What are you working at cahaya?" Ochobot asked peeking at the papers and files in the desk, he saw something that caught his eyes (or is it screen?) for sure

There was a list, with all the elemental septuplet name on it, at the side it said 2nd tier and there were names like, blaze, ice, quake etc..

Ochobot didn't recognize any of them except for one name

Thunderstorm

But that wasn't the strangest things, at the bottom of the names there were was also another list

Petir

Lack: strength, patience in battle, balance, maintaining energy etc..

And so on....

"Cahaya what is this?" Ochobot asked as cahaya quickly arrange his desk, taking the paper out of his eyes

"Nothing ochobot, w-what are you doing here again" cahaya asked trying to change the conversation and hide his tiredness

Seeing cahaya's reaction ochobot felt himself be more suspicious

Just what is happening to the young genius?

"Cahaya, don't you think you should rest, you look like your ready to faint" ochobot said and it was true, with cahaya's pale face, the black circles in his eyes didn't hide the tiredness in them, his eyes were a little red from being sleep deprived

"I'm fine" cahaya said but the big yawn that came off his mouth seems to suggest otherwise

"Here come lie on the bed" ochobot said grabbing cahaya's arm and pulling him in his bed

"I'll scan you" ochobot said cahaya only mumbled but his words were unclear, he didn't fust around like ochobot expected but that was probably from the lack of sleep

"You have a cold, it's better if you lie first"ochobot said after scanning "I'll call tanah"

Ochobot left the room after making sure cahaya was resting, he left and went to Tanah who was at the backyard watching his siblings and thunderstorm practice

"Hey ochobot, do you need anything?" Tanah said as soon as the yellow powersphera sat next to him

"Um.... Cahaya is sick, I think he needs you" ochobot said and tanah's smile was quickly replaced with a worry frown

"What happened to him?" Tanah asked as he stood up, his brother's who noticed tanah getting up, looked at their way with a questioning glance, but tanah just shook his head and smiled at them for reassurance before leaving

"Don't worry, he just caught a minor cold" ochobot said following him to cahaya's bedroom

Tanah immediately went into cahaya's side and put his hand in his forehead, after a while he frowned

"He's hot, I don't think it's a minor cold anymore" tanah said as he retreated his hand "ochobot can you go get me a basin with cold water and a towel?"

"Alright" ochobot said as he left the room, tanah covered cahaya's body with a thick blanket, he took off his white cap and brush his hand into cahaya's hair

"Cy......I'm sorry...pls....don't go....." Cahaya mumbled as he trash around much to tanah's confusion

"Shhhh, it's ok cahaya, I'm here, tanah's here, your brother is here" tanah said trying to soothe and calm cahaya, which thankfully worked

"Tanah?"

Tanah looked at the door and saw his brother in his thunderstorm form holding a basin of water and s towel

"P- I mean thunderstorm" tanah sighed in relief as he stood up and walk towards his brother

"Can you look after cahaya, I need to buy some medicine, it's seems his fever is getting worse" tanah said making thunderstorm nod

Tanah walked out of the door but not before taking a glance at his eldest brother putting a soak towel in cahaya's forehead

Inwardly tanah smiled "I better ask angin to cook some soup, cahaya seems to love it"

Closing the door quietly, tanah hed downstairs

Meanwhile

Ochobot looked at the sky seemingly in trance

Should he tell the others about his discovery?

Or just wait till cahaya wake up

Ochobot sighed and suddenly he felt a figure behind him, a voice spoke out

"It be better if you tell me"

Here to tell you that after days of writer's block, I found the perfect ending

At first I was confused on how the plot was going to continue but I think I found my land mark

Oh and also I want to inform you that the Malaysian ver. of there names are like their nicknames

Only the siblings or their closes friends and family can call them that but in school they use their English name
