My Boyfriend Is An Alien
Episode 72: A Long Journey

Alma immediately regained her senses from her shock as Steven released a grip on her arm.

" Aren't you Steven?", Alma tried to make sure that right in front of him was Steven, or just someone who looked like him.

" Yes right, I'm Steven, Akio's friend".

" When did you get back here?, or didn't you go back to Mesier?". Alma grew curious about the reason Steven was in the cave.

" The story is long, we should sit down first, so you are more comfortable when listening to it".

Alma followed Steven towards a large, slightly flat rock, Steven sat on the rock, and Alma followed.

" Where should I tell you?", asked Steven, confused about where to start.

" Tell me from the moment you came home to Mesier. No papa if it is long, Akio is sleeping at the moment, he will definitely not look for me".

Alma sat facing Steven, her gaze and mind focused on Steven.

Steven POV

6 Months ago I began the journey to the planet Mesier alone, I hope my journey this time did not experience obstacles, because everything I have prepared very carefully.

When passing through the earth's atmosphere there was a fairly hard friction with the UFO that I rode, but did not cause damage to the UFO.

Maybe from the space research agency knew of my UFO's existence at that time, but the speed of the UFO that I raised when I reached space, made me not be chased by the space police.

I survived and continued to fly away from the earth. The more the day goes further and further away. If I count it in a matter of days on Earth, maybe I've been traveling for two weeks in space.

When the Earth is no longer visible and only looks like a small point I met another UFO that is not familiar to me. I was still in the Milky Way at the time, and I met some of the inhabitants of the planet Mesier.

We who can hear the voices of heart and mind, make us able to communicate even though we are in different UFOs.

And I heard from them, if the planet Mesier had a meteor shower a few months ago. Many animals and creatures were burned alive. Plants were burned, rivers lit up with fire and life there was badly damaged.

Some who are still alive finally decide to save themselves, ride UFOs and travel outer space, just surrender to fate, will take them where.

And I who originally intended to go back to Mesier finally changed the plan, I turned back the UFOs, those in the other UFOs moved to my UFO, my UFO, because their UFO's almost ran out of fuel after traveling through space for months.

Me and my five friends made it to earth after a 15-day journey, if calculated in terms of time on earth. We didn't actually get to the island. My UFO fell in the open ocean. Precisely in the waters of the Indian Ocean.

But we have the ability to swim fast, and we pass through the vast ocean to reach the waters of Bali.

We had lived in Denpasar for a few days, there we stayed to rest after swimming almost all day to the mainland, we continued our lives by pretending to be fortune tellers, he said, our ability to read the minds of others is very beneficial.

Especially in Bali, there are so many tourists who visit and they are very confident in the matter of divination such as that.

We stayed there until we had enough money and all of our energy had recovered, so we decided to come here. A place we could stay, because I just had a resident card, the others didn't exist yet, and it made it a little difficult for us to live in public places and many inhabited ones.

When in Denpasar we had difficulty because of the receipt of ID card and passport by someone who introduced himself as a police beach. Fortunately I was able to convolute, and gave a little bribe so we were not arrested.

Fortunately, the five of them are already familiar with quite a lot of human language vocabulary. The creatures of the Messiers like us are quick to learn, and easy to understand new things. That's quite profitable for us.

POV Author

Alma continues to listen to Steven tell stories without speaking a word, the goal is for Alma to hear Steven's story from beginning to end, and finally Alma knows how their journey is quite long and full of struggle.

" Can I see your five friends then?".

" Has only five survived the thousands of inhabitants of the planet Mesier?", Alma who had been very curious finally asked what made him curious.

" I did only meet the five of them, somehow others, including my extended family and no one knows how they are doing right now".

Steven called out to his five friends who then came out of the cave. It turns out they're all men. Alma looked at them one by one.

" Are there no female Messier beings who survived?", asked Alma. Actually Alma was curious as well as what kind of female creatures from the planet Mesier.

" Most of them did die, from the story of the five of them, the meteor shower made all the houses, fields, and forests burned, he said, even the river alone drained the extremely hot water and all the plants and animals died, all of them were badly damaged". Steven explained.

" What have you been eating here all this time?", Alma was curious and entered the cave, it turns out that the cave from the outside looks dark, inside is bright because there is a small bonfire inside. There was a hole large enough to penetrate to the ground level on the cliff, so it was fine to make a bonfire inside the cave.

" We eat the meat of the game, how much, if we get the goat, we eat the goat, if we get the cow, we eat the beef".

" Are you going to try Al. It's beef, just burn it, because we don't have any seasoning".

Alma shook her head while pushing the large piece of beef proffered to her.

" I ate with Akio earlier". Alma immediately remembered that she had been out long enough and left Akio without saying goodbye. Alma immediately picks up the phone and tries to contact Akio that he is fine. But in the cave there was no signal at all.

" Steven I've been away from home long enough, and I didn't say goodbye to Akio because he was sleeping well, but now I've been out of the house too long and haven't come back, I want to call Akio but there's no signal here".

" I'm afraid Akio's awake and worried about me, I'd better get back to where the car is".

" Are you coming with me to the villa?, where you can eat and rest in peace and comfort".

Alma did feel sorry for the six of them, like a vagrant who did not know the purpose of going home.

Steven spoke to his five friends using the language of the planet Mesier, and they nodded their heads, as if they had agreed to go to the villa.

Alma and the six Mesier creatures came out of the cave, walking through the thickets to where the car and driver who had taken Alma were.

Still on the way to the car, not yet arriving at the parking lot, Alma had heard Akio's screams calling out his name many times from a distance.

" It's true that I guess, Akio must be very anxious because I left without saying goodbye, and did not return home".

" He immediately followed and looked for me here" Alma said grimacingly.

Steven smiled, he already understood the nature of Akio who was very afraid of losing Alma.
