Boboiboy was distraught. He felt bad, guilty. And Gopal didn't help the case when he nonchalantly told the whole world about one of his greatest mistakes; he likes the guy, but seriously. Gopal needed to keep his mouth shut.

Boboiboy didn't mean to hurt Adu Du's mother yesterday, it was a pure accident. He tried to tell the green man exactly that, but Adu Du was having none of it. Now, the only good alien he knew is gone. Leaving all the happy memories and alliance that they have made for the past few weeks sour. Bitter and forgotten.

He pretty much gives up and thought Adu Du won't be their classmate any longer (who wants to be acquainted with their parent's attacker, after all?) as he gazed over the empty desk. Yet the said alien actually came, acting like nothing had happened. In that instance, Boboiboy hoped. That he could make amend and be a brother in arm once again.

Turned out—

(Boboiboy nervously waved at him, wishing for a positive reaction. Adu Du didn't react—the cheery boy wilted at that—although he did secretly left a folded paper on the hero's desk)

(In it 'except for Gopal, bring all of your friends to Tok Aba's Kokotiam. We need to talk' was written )

—turned out it was way more complicated than he could ever imagine.

"It was all your mother's scheme?

"Yes," Adu Du nodded, sipping a hot cocoa Tok Aba had graciously prepared, on the house (maybe he was apologizing on behalf of his grandchild in his own way). Adu Du was wearing a dark hoodie that hid his noticeable antennae and green coloration. He even went so far and equipped a sunglasses and surgical mask; it was on his chin for now, as he was drinking a beverage, "I saw her preparing the trap the day before and even heard her bragged about it to her coworkers yesterday night."

"She doesn't want me to be…'nice'," Adu Du continued, "In our world, being evil is the only way to survive; it's a harsh world, you see? It even became the highest prestige we could get. That's why Ejo Jo is rich. And why Bago Go's stuff is so ridiculously expensive. Being 'nice' is just a disadvantage and mostly destined to be a trash scavenger. Like me."

"Hey now—"

"So, he doesn't want me to be nice once more. Not when she knew it'll land me in my previous crappy job," Adu Du said, ignoring Tok Aba's feeble consolation. His head was lowered, sunglasses hindered the others from seeing his true expression yet everyone present knew it was anything but sadness, "Not when she knew it'll ruin her perfect, first-class alien image."

Uncomfortable silence has befallen upon them.

Adu Du straightened, putting the mask back on his square face, "Probe and Gopal will just spill the tea if they knew about this, so zip your mouth. I am not your enemy, but I cannot be your friend. At least, on the surface," he pulled the jacket's right sleeve, revealing a fancy watch with a tiny keyboard on it, and did a quick tapping. Ochobot blinked, "Here's my computer's number. If you need my assistance, ask him. He'll help you in my stead."

"Then, I'm off," he proceeded to jump off of the high chair, walking to the direction they knew was his dumpster's hideout, "Next time we meet, we will be back to being 'enemies'. Better watch your back."

Yaya and Ying hurriedly called for him. Boboiboy followed suit and even wished to stop him on his track. Except, they weren't the one who managed to do it. Fang was. Because he was the only one brave enough to say what was on their mind. With attention still on his half-finished drink, the dark hair boy spoke ever so clearly, cutting through the cacophony of the other voices.

"Hey, Adu Du," he spoke. Fists surreptitiously balled, "Let me just say that I don't like your mother. And if I ever see her again, I'm gonna punch her. So, apology in advance."

Tok Aba swiftly smacked his head for that comment.

Boboiboy saw Adu Du's shoulders tense after that declaration, the step halted for a millisecond. Then it slowly dropped and his walk resumed. He answered Fang's statement with a whisper. In this second terse silence, however, he was pretty much screaming.

"I understand. Even I, sometimes, wonder. 'Why did I even try?'"

"She's just going to abandon me anyway."


(A/N): Toxic parents do exists, so please be careful.

This episode is the reason why I stop watching Boboiboy series as a whole. Ibu Bu's appearance is so out of nowhere!! From Adu Du's flashback in season one, it kinda implied that he's an orphan and was doing a scavenger job just to survive. Where did she come from? Why would she live as a first-class alien but Adu Du, her son, is a third-class alien? Why is she here now, when Adu Du is somewhat successful? Where are you when he was suffering? You bad mother. You ruined Adu Du's character development!!!!!

….haaah. Anyway. Hope you enjoy this short, vent fic TwT
