If Yaya was Red- I mean, Pink Riding Hood with a basket full of biscuits, she can definitely attract the hungry and arrogant wolf, who was Fang.

If Gopal was supposed to be the father of Yaya because Ying was assigned as the grand mom of Red Riding Hood, Boboiboy would be the Wood Cutter who would save Yaya from the Big Bad Wolf.

°~°~°~°~°
With the haunting atmosphere lurking around Gopal's household in the Planet Derghayah, (was that Derghaya where they found Katakululu and Tarung?) he looked outside the humble door of his house. It was still dark and then he closed it hastily, scared if something would take him outside.

His daughter, who was done baking to her heart's content, came to him and offered her some of her cookies. "Good morning, Pa. Why are you so scared? Here, eat them up so that they'll help you reduce your stress."

Hearing that, he cried out, "Oh no, no, my dear Yaya. Papa has just finally realized that I am now old to take something to your grandma. You just put those cookies there, I'll eat them up later. Yaya? Can you be so kind to replace Papa and go to your Granny's house to give her some of your biscuits and wine? I heard that she's not feeling well and she's all alone in her house."

"Of course, Papa! I would love to! It has been soooo long since I last visited dear old Grandma! And I'm sure she'll be happy to eat these cookies that I baked!" Yaya agreed as she prepared her basket.

Gopal had to be silent and thank the heaven for having such a good daughter. In case you know, he planned to be in the house today because he knew that last night was the rise of the full moon in this planet. He's not sure but he heard something inside those deep forest and being a scardy cat, no way he'll be going there! Oh, yes. His daughter can manage scary things because she's a teenager now and not scared about almost everything. She took that trait from her grandma which was unfaithfully not passed to him. Yaya can manage everything.

With the early sun that rising, Gopal had ushered his daughter out from their house.

"I'm going now, Papa! Make sure you'll eat the cookies that I left in the table!" Yaya reminded him with a smile.

He whispered, "Oh nooo.." He then pretended to smile and laughed at her, "That my child... I will definitely eat them. And Yaya, wait!"

"Yes, Papa?"

"Hey! You over there!" Gopal called out to a teenager who passed by their house.

He was wearing a cap and was bringing a large axe, lying on his left shoulder. He seemed to know Gopal for he greeted him good morning.

Gopal took Yaya and walk her near the boy, "Hey, Boboiboy! Good timing! Can you accompany my daughter to my mother's house just in the middle of the forest?"

Boboiboy was surprised, "She's your daughter?! And you're letting her go to that place? What kind of a father are you?" His face was annoyed and put the axe on his right shoulder.

Gopal just laughed but Yaya explained his father's side that made him judge if it was true.

Yaya added, "Anyway, we should be leaving, uhhh? What's your name again, sir?"

Boboiboy scratched his head with embarrassment because of the formality, "Oh, no need for the formality. I'm Boboiboy, nice to meet you, Yaya!"

The pink hijab girl was surprised he knows her name, "How did you know my name, Boboiboy?"

He chuckled. He always passed by on Gopal's house and how can't he notice her presence, especially the cookie that she makes which he assumes to have something horrible inside.

The movement he gave annoyed Gopal. He thought of being protective with his daughter and now he's starting to doubt him. "Dey! You better take her to my mother's house unscathed or else.."

Boboiboy displayed his axe infront of him and smiled, "Or else what, Sir?"

Gopal had to back out, "Or else... You won't receive a penny from me!"

"Oooh. A penny? How about you make it into seven penny? The price for being kind to take care of your daughter, Sir?" He laid his finger on the axe's sharp blade.

Gopal shivered, "Okay, okay! Anything you want! Now go!"

Yaya had to give him a glare, "Aish. No need to be so harsh to him, Papa. Anyway, we're going! Goodbye!" She waved her hands. And they started to walk away from the big man.

Gopal shouted, "Oh! YAYA, DON'T TAKE SHORT CUTS! IT'S TOO DANGEROUS! RUN AHEAD TO YOUR GRANDMA'S CABIN IF ANYTHING SUSPICIOUS HAPPENS!"

Boboiboy look back to Gopal's direction, "Anything suspicious happens?!" He saw him running inside his house completely closing the door behind.

With few minutes of walking with silence, Yaya was gathering her courage to talk to the boy who was bringing an axe beside her. She never left the house for many years and everything outside her makes her feel excited. With the early morning sunlight, and the chirping of the birds, the two figures walked side by side.

"You know, this forest is really tricky. Same as the Wolf they said to be guarding this forest. Your father is right about not taking the shortcuts. He can fool you until he eats you."

"That's horrible." she remarked in a worried tone.

"Don't worry, Yaya. I'm here to help you. I've got an axe on my shoulder, hehe."

Yaya indeed felt a weird feeling inside her that tells her to run to her grandma's house, just as what her father had said.

Boboiboy noticed her edginess and decided to cut the silence, "Please don't be scared by me."

"No, no. I was going to ask you something."

"Yes? What is it?"

"Well, you're supposed to cut trees, right? Your job is definitely important. I'm fine with walking on my own there."

"Eh? You're father entrusted you to me. It's not really a problem besides, I can get seven pennies anyway. It's more helpful than my job. Hehe." He gave her a big smile and adjusted his cap.

Then there was silence between them again and Yaya said, "I can't believe I finally left the house!" She jumped and then laughed to herself.

Boboiboy stopped from walking and walk back to meet her, "Why is that? I'm starting to wonder too. I always saw you by the window of your house anyway."

"Eh? You always saw me?"

"Yeah. You won't notice me because I deliver firewoods outside your house." He recalled, scratching on his head again and was surprised to see her with a big smile.

"Wah! So I should be thanking you for that, Boboiboy! It helped me with my cooking and baking my cookies! Thank you, Boboiboy!"

He scratched his head again and laughed, "Hehe. You're welcome, Yaya. Hehe. May I ask? Are the cookies you baked, by chance, are inside that basket?"

Yaya smiled happily and opened the basket revealing a bottle of wine and cookies, "Do you want to try some? Here, Boboiboy. You can have some."

He scratched his head again in embarrassment, "Ahhh. Ahehe. But I would also be taking away some cookies for your grandma. Is it really okay, Yaya?"

"Of course, Boboiboy! Have some, come on!" She offered him and became excited when Boboiboy taste them.

Boboiboy's excited face was replaced by a horrible one. He dropped his axe on the ground and gasped for air.

Yaya panicked, "Ehh?! Are you okay?"

"W-w.." he coughed. "WATER!"

"Eh? Water?" She quickly scanned her basket with water but only found out a bottle of wine, "This is not water but I think this will help you..." She handed him the bottle of wine and he opened the wooden cap with an urgent spirit as he drink some and then vomited on the ground. "BOBOIBOY?! ARE YOU OKAY?!"

Boboiboy coughed and then gave her the bottle of wine. He looked red and get his axe. He said, "Man. I was expecting a very delicious cookie from a delicious lady like you."

Yaya temporarily went deaf on what she heard, "What?"

"I was looking forward to one day eat the cookies that you are baking but naah. You're cookies are horrible!" Boboiboy said as he hiccupped.

Yaya fumed with anger, "JUST WHAT DID YOU SAID TO MY BELOVED COOKIES?!"

With her scream, he surely wanted to get away from her. Heck. This girl is poisonous! He want to go back to his job cutting some woods and delivering it to his costumers. He walked away from her as he hiccupped.

Yaya was still fuming with anger, "HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT TO ME! AAAAAAARGHHHH! GET BACK HERE!"

But Boboiboy was clearly drunk and was walking around trapped in his own thoughts. Yaya huffed on her anger and look ahead of the road.

She remembered something. She forgot where her grandma's house was.

Sure it was in the middle of the forest but where actually? Just where?

She heard a soft crack on her left and saw a foreign fluffy shadow.

Just what was that?

😉😉😉
