"dad... Dad please stop"
A kid pleasing his dad who's rushing to attend a meeting. The kid running behind the elder back and forth to get his attention.
"Dad i don't wanna go to school.... I wanna be with you and... It should be today"
"Son you know dad's really busy. i have a meeting. Go to school with Erson" the elder speaks as he walks.
"Dad do you even hear me? I don't wanna go to school. I-i wanna be with you.. dad"
"Okay you can take rest for a day and uhmm" checking his schedule"let's go out on Tuesday.. i promise" he said as he left the kid freeze where he's standing.
"B-but Tuesday is not my birthday" he sighs and gets to the couch he sits back and turned on the television. Wiping away his tears to focus on the screen. But he fails he ends up crying out. The little kis close his mouth with his tiny hands to make sure he doesn't let out a sound. His attention moved from the television when he heard a sudden noise from the basement. Wiping his tears off he made a way to the basement. Trying to control his sobs he opened the door. He got scared at what he saw.
"Eww i forgot that basement room was this small" A tall man walks out drops everything down and getting hits clumsily case of his height.
The kid tried to run as he saw a stranger.
"Hey.. hey. Hey... Don't be scared i won't hurt you" the man tried to calm him and where he listens and stop moving back.
"Lemme come out" after he made his way Outta the room. The things crashes and crumbles down due to the unstable balance he created while walking.
"Ew. Ew. Eww " making noises and jerks to evry single crash.
"Sawry for that!"
"Who are you?" The little questioned.
The kid's pov
"Great question... It's your birthday right?" He diverts me by creating another question. And i nods in response.
"I'm here to gift you something wonderful. I know you're sad because of your dad~~ oh wow that's rhyming" he said as he laughed to himself. In my eyes he seems to be a total "Idiot" he laughed short as he heard that
"Oh yes you need to change this habit. You gotta get in trouble boy you'll regret it i swear" he sighs as he remembers a memory.
"I asked who are you?"
He looked at me " I am" he hands me a suit case which he was holding "you".
"Huh?" I looked at him in disbelief
"Yes I'm you. Your future. Look how handsome you are" he said as he showed himself as something great. I was confused and he noticed that. He came down to my height which made him kneel.
"This is a time machine. You can travel wherever and whenever with this thing. Read the instructions before using it and be safe." He took a deep breath" unlike me use it for some good reason. I'm sure you'll find something interesting with this" he looks at me to response.
"So... You are me?" He nods
"And this is a time machine?" He nods while closing his eyes.
"you are brilliant. You understood soon" he smiles.
"And this is all a prank?" He nods without realising. After he understood my question
"Hell no. I know boy you won't trust me. But I'm sure you will one day" he said with a smirk.
"Then.... Say something what I shouldn't do in the future" i asked maybe.... Maybe.... A part of me wants to believe what he says. He smiled and stood up.
"Tomorrow when your teacher asks what is your favourite animal? Don't say that you don't have one. There it is." He points his finger to the television where a horse ride is telecasting. I turned back and found that the talk man is disappeared. And a voice
"Bonus... Sorry to say this your father won't make it Tuesday too" a flash that assured he's gone.
