1. Something Fell From The Sky

The fresh air in the forest and mountain areas made me excited. That day, me and my classmates, specifically in the Biology department, held a study tour of Mount Amba. The mountain is very rich in biodiversity and animals and is very suitable for our research.

We rented a villa specifically for researchers, and we were the only ones staying there. We ate from the packed meal we brought, but I was quite picky about my food, so I had to curl up in pain because my stomach ulcer was recurring.

"Rose, you just rest in your room, we will take samples of night insects in the forest, so you stay here!" said Jane, my roommate.

"Okay, I'll come to take samples tomorrow morning, my stomach is still not normal!" I answered.

Jane tapped me on the shoulder and put on a jacket and head covering to start taking insect samples. Yes, that's my task. We were asked to identify the flora and fauna in this location and calculate the estimated population. But that night, when I was completely alone, something happened.

A very loud buzzing sound started to be heard, I saw a very bright light from the side window of the room which led to the backyard of the villa I was staying in.

The buzzing was accompanied by a strange wave that felt like it was breaking the air and making things around my desk scattered. I immediately jumped out of bed and dared to look outside. I even forgot that my stomach hurts.

An unreasonable event that could make me no longer feel the pain in my stomach because I was so shocked.

BAMM!

A loud crash was heard, and I held on to the edge of the window. My eyes felt dizzy because the light was so dazzling.

"Good grief! What is a meteor? I muttered.

A little doubtful, but my curiosity made me want to check out the place where the celestial body fell. I don't know whether there was radiation or other effects, but my curiosity was stronger and, without thinking, I immediately ran to the backyard to see what was there.

The smell of smoke, a large hole, and damage to several plants were visible around the place where the object fell, but that wasn't what made me gape. There was a giant glowing ball which then disappeared and was replaced by a human-like figure wearing a helmet that made my legs shake.

“My God, what is that!”

The creature staggered, and then he collapsed as if exhausted. I didn't dare come closer, but the sound sounded quite loud in my ears.

"Help me! Water! I need water! He said.

Hearing that, I immediately ran to look for water. Without thinking twice, I took my drinking water bottle into the room and gave it to him.

Here's a water bottle. Would you like a drink? I asked.

The creature opened its strange helmet. I already imagined that a strange alien was behind it. But when I saw his figure, his face amazed me, he was the same as humans in general, and his head, eyes, nose, and mouth were similar to Earth humans. However, he is very handsome.

I saw him again. The man drank the water I gave him. Then he looked at me with an equally surprised face. From his eyes, I saw the difference in him. The color of his iris is purplish with a pupil shape that can enlarge and shrink. I remembered my cat. His pupils were similar to a cat's eyes, unique.

He finished the water I gave him then smiled a strange smile as he said.

"Thank You! I will remember your help, Earth Human! Said the man.

A light hum was heard again with airwaves moving in a circle. I immediately squatted down and curled up, worried that something strange would happen again. But there was nothing, the wave disappeared along with the buzzing sound of the man. He was nowhere to be seen, leaving a trail of large holes in the ground behind the villa.

I was in a daze, walking as best I could back to the room. I saw my friends running to look for me. Surely they also heard the celestial body falling in the backyard of our place.

"Rose, are you okay?" Jane asked.

Emely, Bianca, and the other classmate were also seen coming. They started noisily looking at the backyard and saw the big hole in astonishment.

The only eyewitness at that place was me. I think it would be more difficult for me if I spoke honestly about the strange figure I saw. So, I told them that I didn't see anything. I said I didn't dare go out when there was light falling on it. I also said that meteorites will disintegrate when they enter Earth's gravity. So maybe it was just space dust that reached behind our place.

Wow, there aren't any meteors left. Extraordinary! muttered Emely, the chattiest girl in class.

“Rose, did you not find anything?” Bianca asked.

I can't get up Bianca, my stomach hurts! I just watched from the window, I answered.

Bianca and Emely looked at me with disappointed faces. Maybe they wanted more exaggerated stories that they could spread to all their classmates.

Since that day, I have never seen a meteor fall again. I never told the story of my meeting with this strange man who I thought was an alien.

Arlon City, Atom Points Office

My name is Clara Rose Anderson. As a student majoring in science, I graduated with a perfect score, got access to job vacancy information from my university, and immediately passed the interview test at the Atom Points office, which is a leading science technology company in Arlon City.

I am very enthusiastic about working at Atom Points. This is because as researchers we are given unlimited access to develop our research. I'm a microbiologist, so I like doing experiments multiplying plant and animal tissue. Researching new species of microorganisms and giving new names to new species I discover. As long as you know. There are a lot of microorganisms, there are various variants. I'm sure my career as a researcher will be brilliant if I'm in this company.

I entered the office and looked around. I hoped that I would soon meet the sophisticated laboratory that was always talked about by researchers. However, that didn't happen. As a new member, I had to take part in a series of welcoming events and introductions to other researchers.

Various research results began to be exhibited there, we knew members felt proud of the research results of other researchers. Everything is so spectacular, especially in the fields of meteorology and geophysics. These researchers talked about the new galaxy they discovered, a galaxy located millions of light years from Earth.

I gawked at the results of their research, there was very loud applause to appreciate each result received. The event was getting to its peak, when a man, the CEO of the Atom Points company, came forward and was greeted with loud applause. Liuz Raphael is a very genius young CEO. After he took control of the company, all research progressed very rapidly.

I squinted my eyes, looking at the man who was now highlighted by the camera and displayed on a large LCD TV monitor in front of everyone. Even though it was quite a long time ago, I recognized him, the CEO was a man who fell from the sky. His skin color, his good-looking face, and the way he smiles make me believe that Liuz Raphael, CEO of Atom Points, is an alien.
