Episode 7 Three 30 June 1998 Welcome to Fashion '88 (part 2)

Seeing the trouble Elios was going through, Lunna sped up his bike. "Hey!" he shouted at the swarm of children in front of him. "Take him off!"

The children immediately dispersed when they saw an adult in front of them. Lunna got off the bike and approached Elios. "Are you okay, Elios?"

Elios took his bag, and put it back on. "I'm fine."

Lunna. "Come, I'll take you to your tutoring!" lunna said, holding Elios by the hand. Lunna's gaze was fixed on the bruises in Elios' hand.

"Yes, geez!" shocks surprised. "They hit you. I'll warn them!" Lunna was about to chase the bad boys, but Elios pulled his shirt and stopped him.

"Let it go" said Elios.

"But...," protested Lunna.

"I will not be late for my tutoring" said Elios, looking at Lunna.

Lunnna bowed until her eyes were aligned with Elios. "I'll accompany you to tutoring every day. You don't have to worry about them anymore, Elios".

"Sister doesn't need to do it" Elios said slowly.

"Hey, I've eaten and slept for free in your house," said Lunna, with a small smile. "At least I can repay your kindness by doing this for you. Come on, I'm boncengi you."

With doubt Elios rode into the bonnet of a bicycle. Elios tells the direction to his tutoring spot, and Lunna pedals his bike quickly. Upon arrival at the tutoring place, Elios got off the bike.

"I'll pick you up again" said Lunna. "What time did you finish tutoring?"

"Twelve o'clock" said Elios.

"Elios, wait! Actually I'm reluctant to ask from you. Can I have some money? Who knows if I'm hungry and need food."

Elios stopped stepping, then snorted in annoyance.

"Then, what's the difference between a brother and the kids?"

Lunna felt a little guilty. "I, would you ask for it sweetly, would you? Not much."

Lunna received money from Elios. Thousand rupiahs? What can you do with a thousand dollars? Buy a drink. This is a very stingy boy. "Hmm, Elios, aren't you being too stingy? I mean, this money is just enough to buy a drink," he said later.

Elios snorted in annoyance."With a thousand dollars, you can pay for a week's worth of motor gasoline."

Lunna was astonished at Elios' explanation. *oh, yes. I was in 1988, of course all prices are different from my time.

"Yes.yes," said Lunna admitted. "I forgot I was in 1988. Sorry, Elios."

Elios sneered, then ran into the building.

Lunna took a breath, and continued on her way to the Albatross Building. Be careful he parked his bike not far from the building, then walked slowly while watching the security officers who were there. While the officer was off guard, Lunna infiltrated in. He ran to the third floor, and looked for paintings that had been seen in his time. The painting was found nowhere in the building. Lunna searched once more desperately. The result remains the same. Exhausted, Lunna sat on the floor and closed her eyes.

Let's think, Lunna! he said to himself. Why isn't the painting here? Wait.that time under the description of the painting there is a note of the date... July 6, 1988. Yes, there it is. The painting will only be installed on July 6, 1988, right with the opening of this building. Today, June 30, 1988, means six more days of painting will be here. That means, in six days I can just go home.

Lunna smiled to herself. He could not wait to say this to Elios. But Elios said, I do not believe that I am from the future. No one believes me. Wait a minute, maybe Papi and Mami trust me when I say it. I have to go see Papi and Mami. 1988, means Papi and Mami are still in college, right? I can meet them at the campus. Mommy and Papi will definitely trust me.

With that idea in her head, Lunna went down the stairs and exited the building cautiously. He rode his bike back and rushed to his parents' campus.

Lunna arrived in front of the campus half an hour later with sweat running all over her body. Breathing gasps. After parking his bike next to the duck bikes lined there, he also carried out his intention to look for Papi. He entered the Faculty of Law, and looked into the lecture halls that were there. Papi is nowhere. Lunna then went to look for Mami at the Faculty of Economics, again she failed to find Mami there.

Did they both go to college today? ask in your heart, while walking. He saw a building under renovation, iron bars stretching from the bottom to the top of the building. There's a bench not far from there. Lunna sat there to rest first.

Suddenly a black motorcycle entered the campus area. The driver stopped his motorcycle not far from where Lunna was sitting. The sound of the brake whistling made everyone look towards the biker. Behind him, the passenger got off the bat quietly. At first glance Lunna saw a girl in green jeans and a yellow T-shirt smiling at the motorcyclist. His hair was shoulder-length, and he wore bangs. Both of his ears were wearing a pair of large earrings. Thick cosmetics with blue eye shadow adorned his face.

What happened to the girls in 1988? asked Lunna, while looking at the girl and the other girls. Their hair is almost the same. Especially the taste of dress. Green jeans and yellow sweatshirts.

The other girls rushed over to the girl.

"Hi, Diana! Whoa, new clothes, huh?"

Lunna. Diana's? Diana's? that's Mommy's name. Wait, wait.it's impossible! Lunna looked at the girl's face from her stool. Oh, naw! it really is Mami. Holy hooch!...
