Because Apples

Apple Tragedy

Tomorrow is the first day of class hikes, as well as fasting holidays and holidays. Adam did not set a grandiose target for ranking. I could have gone to class, she was so grateful.

He realized that his brain capacity was not large enough to accommodate all the lessons. After all, his physique and time were a lot drained for work. Study only at school, no more time.

Lucky he got my best friend like Dela. It would be hypocritical to say that Adam did not cheat. His heart forbids, but he almost always does.

It's nothing, Adam himself is not sure about his brain when it comes to lessons.

Thanks to his partner and a little compulsion to think that, he got a rank of 9 out of 38 students in the class.

Dela herself ranked second. Affan, Ryan and Leon were ranked 11th, 15th, and 17th respectively.

I don't know why it could be. But for sure, Adam did not want to think about it. Now is the time to take a break from the school routine.

Not for the holidays, but to add money. Working more for the next month.

Although his best friend had invited a vacation together, Adam refused. He has too much trouble with his best friend's family and does not want to add to the debt of gratitude again.

The last time he went on vacation together was when he graduated Junior High. With Leon and his family. Despite not choosing one person, Adam is closer to Leon than his four best friends.

After that always refused if invited to vacation with his best friend's family. Even though their parents brought her. Adam prefers to spend his time working.

Not only to add money, but also to fill his vacation. If you want a vacation, city parks are the main choice if you want to refresh your brain at this time.

It's boring, but that's what doesn't cost money.

It's different if Adam really wants a vacation. How much he spent on traveling. It doesn't matter if it's a red date or not.

But it almost happens rarely. There was still a little sane sense in him not to waste a lot of money. As much as possible Adam saves, but still can get a quality vacation and if possible ‘mewah’.

“ ***, math I got 6. “ monologue Affan saw his test paper.

“ Lo still mending, Fan. Lah I, 5,5. “ reply Ryan.

The two of them seemed to be looking for who was the least in being able to calculate lessons. How strange.

“ Lo holidays to where is this year? “

Adam turned his head from his phone, “ Not going anywhere. “

“ Work? “ ask Dika again.

The one asked nodded.re-focus on the phone.

“ Lebaran time lo still working? “ Turn Leon asked in disbelief.

“ Chk, yes! I did not work on the first day of Lebaran. “

“ Means the first day? “ Leon still does not fully understand.

Adam exhales lightly, forget for a moment his phone, “ Start H-2 I do not work. Start working again on the third day. “

It is difficult to understand the mind of their friend.

“ Dam, this is Lebaran! Not an ordinary holiday. Don't think about the work first. “ advice Ryan.

This time a puff of tired and resigned breath that came out of Adam, “ How else. I do not have any activities if the holiday lebaran kek gini. There are no relatives I can visit. “

Ryan hates the most that this sad tone has come out of Adam. Like saying he was desperate.

“ I want to go home first. There is a nawarin job. “

Fasting month is not a reason to laze. Hunger and thirst are also not obstacles to doing activities like normal days.

Adam still works even though it's school holiday. Even he deliberately looked for another job for a while until the holidays ended.

It was nothing, other than for the money, another reason he chose extra work was because Adam did not have any activities during the holidays. Also because the cafe where he works is only open at night.

He has absolutely no plans for this year's holiday.

Strange indeed, not as usual, there are only plans going where. But this time, Adam wanted to keep quiet. He wanted to go nowhere but to the places he needed to go.

Before the fasting month, he worked after school and at night. But during the fasting month until Eid, Adam worked from morning to evening.

Previously working in coffee shops and cafes, now he changed to working at a convenience store in the morning. While afternoon to evening, work at home catering.

His salary was arguably the same, only slightly smaller. It doesn't matter, he only worked there for a month. After Lebaran back again working in cafes and coffee shops.

Adam didn't work at night this time. In the fasting month he wants a little rest, also wants to focus more on his worship. Which he has often ignored for work reasons.

Now, he had just finished his tadarus at the mosque around apatemen. Finish the last verse and glance at the digital clock that has shown the time 10 passed.

Not going home immediately, he chose a moment of collapse in the courtyard of the mosque. Almost overslept if not awakened takmir. AC there is definitely more delicious than his butut fan.

Although in fact he was also not banned by the mosque management. Everyone knows Adam.

The young man has been a committee of amil zakat fitrah for three years. She moved into her current apartment a few months ago.

Open the fast in the mosque with other worshippers who happen to be there too. Sahur is also in this large mosque.

He only cooks when he's hungry at night. It's just simple dishes like fried rice and instant noodles.

Therefore, the mini-fridge is rarely filled with food in the holy month. There were only a few cans of soda, snacks, and bottles of used mineral water that he refilled with water.

He only lives alone, so there is no need to bother preparing additional.

Adam took his black peci and put it on. Pass out of the mosque area with his flip-flops.

There are still a lot of vehicles going by tonight. It is not surprising that it happens on a normal day. But now it is H-9 Eid and there are still many residents who have not returned to their hometowns, he thought.

A little yawn because it feels like the air tonight is so cool it tends to be cold. Unlike the previous nights that were hot and hot. The air tonight makes him sleepy.

Usually he is very sleepy during prayers tarawih and tadarusan in the mosque. But when in the room, let alone sleep, sleepy was not. Somehow it can be like that. Adam was sure he wasn't the only one who experienced this strange thing.

“ Girls isn't it? “ monologue.

Up ahead, he saw the silhouette of people walking.

Ten seconds later, the plastic bag the person in front of him was torn apart. Make the stuff in it fall. Adam somewhat accelerated his footsteps.

It was a little difficult because of the gloves he was wearing.

“ I help you, Ma'am. Bring another small bag. “

The girl turned her head, “ No need, Mas. Thanks though. “

“ Seriously don't need help? I am not a bad person! “ replied Adam understood the girl's sniffling voice.

“ Yes, no need. “

The young man then stood up, “ Yes already. Yes first. “

The girl looked at him excitedly, “ Uh, uh, please deh, Mas! “

Adam snorted, but did not stop to help him. Not only picked up dozens of scattered apples, but also helped bring them.

“ Thanks yes, Mas. Bantuin. “

“ Nothing, Ma'am. Just relax. “

The girl's forehead shriveled, “ Kok call Mbak anyway! I've only been in 19 years! Sounds really old I. “

“ Lah, I just want 17 and Mbak is older than me. “

“ Seriously? So you're still 16? “

Adam nodded casually, “ Bentar again got ID. “

The beautiful woman chuckles, “ Don't be so formal dong! Put me on you, it's better to hear. “

“ Oh yes, chat from earlier but not yet acquaintance. I know, I'm Anindita! “

“ Adam, Ma'am. “

Tita frowning, “ Tuh right, use Mbak again! I am still young! “

Now it's Adam's turn to chuckle, “ Sorry, forgot. “

“ You're still in school huh, Dam? “

Adam nodded.

“ Where's school? I also just entered college. “ ask more.

“ In Arastamar. “

Dita nodded her head in understanding, “ New class increase, right? “

“ Yes, not until a month entered the eleventh class. “ replied Adam lightly.

Dita nodded again.

“ This really I can call you directly name? Not using ‘Mbak’? “

“ Nothin. “

Adam nodded in agreement, “ Bring a lot of apples for what, Dit? “

Dita frowning, “ Call what just now? “

“ Dit? “ replied Adam was getting confused.

“ Did you mean? “

Adam nodded, “ Why? “

“ Nothing, it's weird. People call me Anin. You're the only one calling Dita. “

“ So, can't you call me that? “

“ Yes please! You are a differentiator. Btw, thank you for helping. “

Not until five minutes they arrived at the TransJakarta stop of their destination earlier.

“ Here, I'm again an apple pie peeper. “ Dita answered the question earlier.

“ You are craving again? “

“ Just fine!! Marriage is not yet. “

Adam chuckles, “ Yes, equally. I'll go home first, okay? “

“ Yes. What is your bag? “

The young man turned his head, “ Take it, I have a lot. Yes first! “

Dita waved lightly as the bus she was waiting for arrived.

Three minutes later, Adam arrived at the apartment building. Time has shown at half 12 p.m.

And sure enough, his drowsiness suddenly disappeared.

Really sucks!
