Meh, I realized there isn't a big reaction to English fanfic on here. Oh well, let just continue.
Oh yeah, just want to inform. In this fanfic, GemHaliTau are not triplets, IceBlaze are twins and SolarThorn are siblings.
Review anyone?
Chapter 3, I Cannot Remember
After a week later,
It was late at night, maybe around 2am. All the lights inside the 7 elemental siblings house were turned off. Well, maybe not all. A dim light was coming from Taufan's room which was from his laptop.
It turned out to be Taufan that was sitting in front of his desk trying to finish his unfinished assignment. He rubbed his eyes feeling tired.
"Ugh…I'm so sleepy. Darn me for forgetting this assignment. All I did today was locked inside this room, feeling gloomy.", whined Taufan.
He was now onto the last part of his essay but his eyes couldn't really open up anymore.
"Come on. Please…Hang on…"
And now he fell asleep on his desk.
.
.
.
.
"Taufan! Wake up!" Suddenly, Gempa yelled from downstairs, jolted Taufan up from his sleep.
"Come on, Taufan! Do I have to yell to wake you up again? You've grown up already!"
"Ugh…I'm sorry Gempa!", as he rubbing his sleepy eyes.
"Whatever. Just get ready to school then."
"Okay Gem-. Eh?", he immediately realized something. He was lying on his bed today. Wasn't he fell asleep on his desk last night?
"Oh, no. It's happening again."
He walked to his laptop feeling frustrated again. His laptop was in sleep mood. He opened it and the screen automatically opened to home desktop. He chose his file and emailed his essay.
Wait? Wasn't his essay not complete yet? Oh, no.
.
.
.
.
"Are you okay Taufan?", asked Gempa. The 3 oldest brothers, Gempa, Halilintar and Taufan were walking to school. What about the 4 younger brothers? They were also walking to school but they went to elementary school.
"I'm okay, Gempa. Why do you ask?"
"You're not talking today."
What Gempa said was true. Usually, Taufan was the one who start the conversation when they went to school. He somehow lightens the mood before starting school. But now, he was quiet.
He was still thinking about what had happened in the past days. The plushie, the mug and even the scar that was hidden under his 'elbowband' (the wristband). He kept thinking but all he got was blank.
"Oh, sorry. What should I talk about then?"
"Oh! I know! Remember the time-"
"We want to know what's wrong with you?"
"Huh?"
Gempa and Halilintar stared at him seriously. They knew something was not right about their brother.
"We're worry about you, Taufan.", worried Gempa as he touched one of Taufan's shoulder.
"You look different after that accident."
Taufan slowly backed up, releasing Gempa's grip. Somehow his face shown to be offended.
"No. I'm not, Gempa.", stated him, starting to walk away from them.
"Wait, Taufan…Did I say something wrong?"
"No. See you guys at school."
Sometimes you guys are just blind to notice.
.

At Taufan's class,
Taufan just sat down on his sit and before he wanted to clear his mind, he heard a conversation.
"Guys, did you finish your today essay?", asked a girl to her friends.
"Yes, of course!", replied one of her friends.
"Well, not him…", stated another of her friends.
"Hey dude, are you almost finish? You know the due date is before 9. You don't have time if you continue later.", said a boy to the one who busying typing his essay.
"I'm almost finish! The last part is next! Ugh! I can't believe I forgot that we have this essay!"
Last part…Last part…
Does it ring a bell to you? Yup. Taufan realized that he forgot to write the last part because he fell asleep and he didn't bother to recheck it this morning before emailing.
Dammit! I forgot the last part. I'll definitely lose mark on this. Oh, please. I hope this doesn't affect my grades.
.
.
.

After lunch,
It was history period and also the time to know the class's essays results. The teacher was handing out the class's essay papers and Taufan was waiting anxiously for his paper. If he doesn't get this subject a good grade, Gempa will scolded him.
"Boboiboy Taufan…", called his teacher.
Gulp. I'm so doom.
He walked to the front and received his paper. He looked at his marks and eh? He got a C? He checked the last page of the paper and he was shocked to see the last part had been written.
What the what?
"I'm a bit impressed with your essay, Taufan. Especially the conclusion. It's well written then the other parts. Well done.", compliment his teacher.
Taufan was so speechless. Who write the conclusion for him?
It's definitely not the others since they're not the same class. So, who? This mystery is getting more worrying.
But he decided to be quiet. He had to.
I really need to do something.
.
.
.
.
At home, in the living room.
Taufan was sitting on a sofa, looking depleted. His mind felt disordered with all things happening until he didn't realize someone had sat next to him.
"Can I share you my Wally?", asked the person next to him. Oh, it was Ice.
"Huh? Shouldn't I'm the one who asked that question?"
"Well, you looked like you need a hug.", said Ice as he shared half of his plushie and hugged the remained half. He locked his eyes to his brother where as Taufan just poked the plushie feeling uncomfortable.
"Um…", awkward Taufan.
"Oh, sorry. Don't mind me. I do my thing, you do your thing.", said Ice turning his face away lazily.
Cause we all knew there's something troubling you.
"Oh."
Well, the situation was still quite awkward but after 5 minutes passed by as Ice was almost fell asleep, he heard Taufan murmured something,
"Doing something but didn't remember."
"What?", confused Ice as he faced back to Taufan, hugging the plushie too.
"You did something but you don't remember doing it.", murmured Taufan again.
"I don't follow what you're saying, Taufan.", poking Taufan's arm which snapped him out.
"Huh? Did I say something just now?"
"Yes."
Oh shoot. I didn't realize that I talk without my mouth shut.
"What was that?"
"I was just blurted out some idiotic stuff. Hehe. I always do like that but maybe you didn't realize it. So, nothing to worry about, okay?"
"Idiotic stuff?"
"Yes! It's like, how come you don't remember what you're doing? You're doing something with your conscious mind! Of course, you remember what you're doing!"
"Oh.", said Ice lazily, looking away from him.
Phew, I hope he didn't get suspicious. That was too close.
"By the way…"
"Huh?", he felt something bad is going to happen.
"What are you hiding?"
"Everyone keeps asking me the same question, Ice. It's annoying."
"I meant what are you hiding under your 'elbowband'? Shouldn't be an 'elbowband' placed around your elbow? This is called a 'wristband' if you placed around your wrist.", explained Ice, pointing to Taufan's left hand that was hidden under the plushie.
"Eh?"
I didn't think anyone will realize it, Ice. I'm surprised.
"I didn't hide anything, Ice.", said Taufan but he just placed his left hand to his chest.
"Yes, you did.", trying to pull the 'elbowband'.
"It's not important, Ice."
"If it's not important. Why bother not telling us?"
"What's your problem, Ice?"
"You're just scare, aren't you?"
Sometimes the way you being care is annoying.
"Sigh. I hid something under my 'elbowband' because I don't want everyone to be worry.", as he faced down to the floor and…intentionally Ice pulled Taufan's hand and removed the 'elbowband' revealing the scar.
"H…hey!", panicked Taufan.
"Hah?! Taufan! How could you?!"
"I can explain, Ice!"
"You don't have to!"
"Ice! Listen to me!"
"I don't want to!"
"Please!"
"No! I'm telling the others!"
"Ice! Listen to me!", shouted Taufan grabbing Ice's both shoulders. Ice shut up.
"Look at me. I had no intention to cut myself. I had no intention to suicide. I just accidentally hit a sharp object. Believe me, Ice.", explained Taufan seriously. Although he didn't know the real reason but at least he was telling the truth, right?
"Why should I? You always hide something. Although you manage to hide from the others but you can't hide it from me."
"Just look at me. Do you think I'm lying right now?", Ice did stare at him, reading his expression. Somehow, it was true. He didn't feel that Taufan wasn't lying right now.
"Sigh. But why did you hide it?"
"If I didn't hide it, everyone expression will be just like yours. Panic and think that I wanna die."
"But if you hide it won't it make them curious?"
"Just like you said. I always hide something. You're the only one can read my expression with much detail. Not even Gempa or Hali can read me always."
Ice just couldn't talk back anymore. His brother really knew what he was doing.
"I don't care anymore if you want to tell the others. It's just a cut.", said Taufan indifferently as he stands up, about to go to his room.
But I don't think you have to tell them. Since you realized that it wasn't that serious.
.
.
.
.
As he closed the door behind him, he immediately sloped down to the floor.
I'm sorry that I talk like that, Ice. I know you are just worry about me. But before I can understand everything, I don't think I want you guys to know.
He looked back at his scar.
I tried so hard to remember back then. I traced my steps yet I got nothing. Even today. I can't remember anything about that last part of my essay. The way it was written, I know it wasn't me. It's like someone trying to copy my style of writing.
He saw a note book on his desk. He approached to it.
I don't think it's you guys. Seeking in my room, finishing my work and caring me to my bed. There's no way they're willing to do that.
He opened the book and took out a blue ink pen.
I had noticed it from the very beginning. The day after I woke up from my coma, I knew something was different.
He wrote something.
I knew, there is something…
He wrote "Hello? Who is it?"
…or someone inside me.
.
.
.
.
The next day,
RING! RING! RING!
Taufan's alarm clock had rang, waking him up. He was about to take his towel when unexpectedly he stepped on something. It was that note book. He flipped the pages and…
"Eek!", Taufan suddenly got startled and with reflex he threw that book to the wall which immediately bounced back to his face.
"Ow!"
The book then fell to floor revealing a red ink sentence under Taufan's sentences.
"Glad you finally noticed it, Taufan…"
~TO BE CONTINUE
Finally, I had finish chapter 3! I hope you guys enjoyed it! As I writing this, I really like the almost end part.
Alright, I'll explain something about Taufan personalities or should I say behaviors and some of the others too.
I admit, his behaviors, I got inspired from rinnRinn947 on Wattpad. Taufan really does like to keep things for himself. From little things to big problems, he just like to keep to himself. And he usually knows what he was doing.
As for his brothers. Yes, everyone knew Taufan is hiding something from them. I did say on Chapter 1, Prologue. The one who knew Taufan well his Ice. Sibling duo TauIce are now my favorite brothers. Sorry HaliTau. Anyway, Ice could read Taufan expression. He can tell when Taufan was sad, lying or just like in this chapter, saying the truth. Whereas, the others just knew something is wrong with him.
The problem is, they just couldn't let Taufan to speak up his problems. He really wants to solve by himself.
In conclusion, Taufan and Ice are good with emotions.
One more, in this fanfic, Taufan have 2 problems. One is that mysterious things always happen without him knowing and Another is for you guys to figure it out first as I show his problem number 1.
Sorry, that I talked to much. Feel free to review, favorite and follow.
