Julian slowed his pace as he headed for the bus stop, today he skipped school because he got the morning shift until noon. Actually, the working hours are always night, but because there is one employee who got into trouble, he was revealed to replace the employee.
Half an hour on the bus, he got off, then headed for the cafeteria where he worked part-time. Cassandre's manager was already standing in front of the cashier's desk while checking the notebook. Seeing Julian's arrival, wanuta iru smiled kindly, "I'm sorry you had to get the morning shift. We really need people in the morning until noon."
"It's okay, after all, in a moment of class, lessons rarely begin" Julian replied with a faint smile. Trying to be friendly.
"It's best that it's not done. Even though there are no classes, the name of the school is still mandatory. At least you can meet and play with friends"
He waved in front of the body, "It's okay aunt, I really don't matter. This is already a risk for students as well as part-time workers like me."
While Cassandre wanted to cry when he saw Julian's behavior, it was as if he was a kid from the lower middle class who had economic difficulties, "Hmm, Julian, your life shouldn't be like this. Your father is still a treasure, but you are willing not to accept his gift and instead work alone, just because you hate his change of attitude" Cassandre said according to the facts, because she used to be so close to Julian's parents now, "Not aunty means anything bad, but look, your father never intended to find a new mother for you, even if he didn't really care, but keep sending money for you and Nathalia. I'm close friends with your family, so I hope you guys make up soon. Take care of each other's remaining family, before your fate becomes as remorseful as mine."
Julian frowned, why did his boss feel like he was sad because he remembered the precious memories. Though he knew Aunt Cassandre's family was fine, or perhaps because of his son who demanded education abroad, he missed, "What's the matter? Isn't aunt's family okay? Uncle Jake and your daughter are still there, right?"
"Ereluz is no more. He was dead, "again his words made Julian raise one eyebrow. The famous Ereluz had moved to a foreign school, not dead. The girl was quite famous in the school environment, until Julian often heard her name.
"Didn't my aunt tell me she went to school abroad?"
The woman smiled faintly, with both hands in piles at the cashier's table, "The story is long. Ereluz made a mistake at school and ended up losing his life in an accident, but there was a miracle that came suddenly, he could live again, dear in another century. The term, he's now in the other know through time travel."
Time travel is logical for aspiring researchers like Julian. But what doesn't make sense is why it has to be his son Aunt Cassandre, isn't the time machine just one and it belongs to Urgre. Or maybe they knew each other, so that something happened and resulted in Ereluz having to go to another era.
"Ah, you must think me crazy. Sorry, obviously do not spread this to anyone, yes" he said with a laugh.
"Elelus? Time travel?" Her great-granddaughter, made Cassandre panic. Luckily there was no one around them, 'Logically, Ereluz used to be in the class I am in right now. The sign that he knew Leura, surely their parents also knew each other. So Aunt Cassandre's kid who's time-traveling uses the Urgre machine, but isn't it just the owner who can use it?'
Casandre Kambali laughed in an awkward tone, "Yes, my gosh! Let's just say I'm fantasizing right now. You can start working, don't waste time, time is money, right?"
Julian nodded, but before his boss left, he asked, "Wait aunty, can I ask you something?"
"Please."
"What class was Ereluz?"
The woman frowned but still answered her question, "Featured A, why ask about it? Forget about it, let's just say I'm kidding. Ereluz is studying abroad now."
'You've opened the door, then I'll go in, ' Julian grinned widely after seeing Aunt Cassandre walk away.
"I got the data, a teenage girl who was traveling through time to 1402 AD. He was not the owner of the time machine, but soon became the holder replacing the previous one, Urgre," said Prof. Alenio still did not divert attention from the big screen, "He has been a time traveler long enough, likely already well adapted to that era."
Profs. Katana replied, "Find out her full identity. We will be greatly helped by the boy's presence," he should rest, but the east Asian woman refused, he better help his colleagues in the laboratory than sleep.
"Is he the son of this time machine-holder? What's his name, Urgre?" Ask Prof. Nina ensure.
While Prof. Richard also huddled, although almost everyone looked at their computers, "But Julian said the boy who owned this machine was a classmate at once. While the data shows he's been over three months there."
"That's not his son. From our informant in the next room, the Urgre family members are just his wife and one daughter."
"So the time traveler was not his son."
Profs. Alenio said, "I've got his identity, it's in the locked file. His name is Ereluz Rivera, age 17, but from the record here, he can't go back to his original universe aka this year."
"Why is that?" Ask Prof. Richard's confused.
"Of course, there's nothing to show why he can't come back."
"Or was the machine broken? That's why the boy is trapped" said Prof. Richard stopped when he realized something, "Eh but wait, Ereluz Rivera?"
"Rivera's crown, the number two textile company in the country. Its chief director Jake Rivera, he has a wife, was once the best-selling ambassador of cosmetic products, but now there's no news" Prof said. Katana. He knew very well Rivera's crown because their textile production was very good. That's why he buys it so often.
"Ah right! If it's not wrong they have one daughter."
"What a weird thing, his family is a respected man. Why can the child exist in another year, the past as well" said Prof. Nina while scratching her head which is not itchy.
"Something seems to be going on between them. Urgre won't just make Ereluz go to the past for no reason. There's gotta be something the kid has to do there."
"Work this time must be really careful, in addition to having to keep watch from Urgre as the holder of the time machine in the present era, it turns out there is a child of the Rivera family concerned. We have to be really careful at work" said Prof. Alenio as the one who has the right to govern.
"Fuck, their families don't mess around about threats."
