My Boyfriend Is An Alien
Episode 48: Priorities

It turns out that the reason Alma was told to face Mr. Bayu was to receive some additional material that had to be learned at home.

The time to the H day of the science olympiad in Almaty is only a month away. And Alma had to be more intense to learn, in order to get back to winning the gold medal like before.

Akio had already faced Pak Bayu and obtained a guidebook of astronomical materials first. But when Alma went to the teacher's room, Akio accompanied her.

" We went straight to the cafeteria, A.; laper was really good", Alma walked side by side with Akio to the cafeteria.

Again in the cafeteria there were some children staring intensely at them, Alma had no idea what was on their minds, but not with Akio who in his ears can hear a variety of sounds, so crowded and noisy with the voices of their hearts who are staring at him.

Although their mouths were tightly shut, and no one was talking about it. But in their hearts they commented to each other seeing the closeness of himself and Alma.

Akio remained silent and pretended as if he had not heard anything, because Akio was sure that Alma knew and could hear the hearts of others like him, Alma would have asked to go back to class and cancel the meal at the cafeteria, and left the food that had been ordered.

" Thank you, Mba" said Alma when the food was served.

Alma takes a spoon and fork to eat the hodgepodge, while Akio adds sausage and soy sauce to his chicken noodles.

Alma immediately ate quickly and greedily, because he was very hungry.

" Slowly, afraid of choking later", Akio reminded Alma, but Alma still ate quickly, because the rest time was almost up. And sure enough, they had not finished eating, the bell rang.

Alma had to stop her mouthful and drink water with a single breath.

" Yuk went back to class", Alma stood up and took Akio back to class.

Several other students who were still in the cafeteria were just like Alma and Akio, rushing towards the classroom, leaving their lunch unexpired.

***

In class all went well, Alma could take the class until the bell came home. That means the physical is getting healthier and stronger. Brushing aside Akio's excessive worries since earlier.

As the two of them were about to return home from school, Akio told the driver to stop by the green park, as Steven was waiting for him there.

While Alma asked to be dropped off in the alley who wanted to enter his mother's house.

" If it's a long time, I'm going home to mom's A...".

" Then the business is done just call".

Alma asked to be dropped off in the alley, the entrance to his house. And walk alone to his mother's house. Akio continues his journey to the green park.

" What's important you want to talk about?"

Akio immediately sat in the front seat of the laptop desk in the corner of the warehouse.

" I've found another particle that can be used to fix your UFO".

" After I researched and tested it many times, I finally tried to apply it to the system, and look at it!".

Steven turned on the UFO, and Akio's UFO could work.

Akio was so amazed by the greatness of Steven, unexpectedly his attempt to repair UFOs for 8 years, can be done by Steven in just a matter of weeks.

" How?, we can try flying later tonight. Do you still want to go back to the planet Mesier?".

" I'm just worried because our slow aging will make others suspect us and find out who we really are. Isn't going back to where we really are the best choice?".

Steven's words are true, but Alma's presence in Akio's life changes all his desires. His initial desire to return to Mesier had already buried him deeply. And the desire to spend the rest of his life with Alma is a top priority in his life right now.

" If you want to go back to the planet of Mesier, you can come back as soon as possible, but I'll stay here, I'm sure I can hide who I really am from those humans".

" But I can't leave Alma, because I promised her".

Akio stood up and was about to get out of the warehouse.

Steven's words touched Akio.

" I don't blame your words, if I need Alma, but one thing to remember too, I don't want to die silly tossing around in space just for the sake of returning to the planet of Mesier which is actually no better than Earth".

" I do hate people because they lie so often and say things that don't match their heart"

" But I don't care about it right now, maybe if the abilities of beings on our planet are the same as humans on earth who can't hear the hearts and minds of others, I'm 100 percent sure it would be the same Messier creature as the man on earth, who kept so many secrets, told so many lies and falsehoods ".

" I even intend to give this UFO to the museum, but I paused, so as not to cause problems later".

" Maybe this place is the most appropriate to store it, who knows someday arise again the desire to return to the planet Mesier ".

Akio just walked out of the building. I don't know why he felt like he was betraying his birthplace. But Akio does have to make a decision and choose which is the priority in his life at this time.

***

" You're here alone?, where's Akio?, you're okay, right?, why don't you call mom first, so I can pick you up on the highway, so you don't have to be tired of the long way here".

Alma sat in the living room chair, after kissing her mother's hand.

" Well, I bought a new chair, nice ma'am".

Alma actually discussed the new chair he was sitting in.

" Akio again there is a short business in the green park, so I asked to put it down here, males also went there, what cooking mother?, Alma laper".

Alma took off her shoes and walked into the living room.

" Let's eat together, mom just cooked some chicken soup. Bara just came home from school to make soup. Earlier this morning I just fried tempe for breakfast, so I made chicken soup, according to Bara's request, there is also a terasi sambel".

Bara who was watching television immediately ran and scattered to hug Alma when he saw Alma entering the living room.

" Come brother, we eat together, Bara has not eaten with Alma for a long time", Bara pulled Alma's hand towards the dining table.

Alma followed him to the dinner table and took the rice, which was then doused in hot chicken soup.

" Wah very good", muttered Alma after putting the first mouthful into her mouth.

" It must be delicious cuisine of the aunt of the cook who works at Akio's house, besides that every day you must eat well there". Maemunah also took a plate for herself and Bara.

" Yes, definitely Brother Alma every day eat well at the house of Akio". Bara followed the conversation as Maemunah handed him a plate of rice and chicken soup.

" That is to say, they cook every day several different kinds of menus, and it happened long before I lived there, I just follow the habit there. Every day I eat, and I don't have to shop or cook".

" It actually feels very strange when the beginning of living there and can not do anything. Because from the first mother always taught me to be able to do household chores and can also cook, so that it can be happy and make a husband at home".

" But after marriage, everything I've learned before, it turns out that there is nothing I apply in everyday life".

" My husband just needs me to be with him, he forbids me from doing all that work Mom".

" That's why I feel so fatter, rarely working, and his job is just eating, playing and sleeping every day".

Maemunah smiled faintly, she had expected, if Alma would be treated like a queen in her husband's house, because Maemunah could feel and see from Akio's attitude and behavior, as well as from her eyes, look, if Akio's affection for Alma is so great and deep.

It would be impossible for Akio to allow Alma to be tired from doing housework, or tired from cooking. Especially in Akio's house there are so many helpers. Surely it was done by Akio so that Alma remained relaxed, and did not need to be tired of cleaning the house.

" Mom taught you all those things because that's what a wife usually does".

" And you're lucky to be Akio's wife, who so spoils you, treats you so well".

" Even though sometimes I feel like I've lost you, because Akio is so possessive of you. But I'm happy if you're happy, son...".

" Of course I am, Alma is very happy" said Alma, squeezing her mother's hand.
