Conglomerate Children Who Look Poor
chapter 11
Afzal realizes whatever Xavia has to say about the photo is just an excuse to meet her.
At the moment Afzal does not want to meet Xavia at all. Afzal still could not forget the pain of his heart, the pain caused by his love so great at that time. However, Afzal was also unable to lie to himself that in the depths of his heart the deepest taste still remained for Xavia. Afzal did not hear it and suddenly agreed to Xavia's request to meet.
Afzal went to look for photos that he had been left alone in his closet for some time. Photos of Afzal and Xavia's memories as they spend time together on a small lake near the campus. In the photo, Xavia looks to embrace him affectionately while he is embracing Xavia with both hands and a sweet smile is slanted from his lips while his eyes look friendly Xavia.
But the situation has changed so much now, Afzal again felt the pain of his heart deep.
Afzal remembered the hundred thousand dollars he had taken this morning at the bank. Initially, Afzal plans to spend the money to enjoy life, buying whatever he previously wanted, but could not do in the past. But then Afzal realized that what he did was very naive.
Afzal realized that for that he did not have to take cash. He can transact using the cards given by his sister. Afzal suddenly realized that keeping large amounts of cash in the dormitory was not a good idea. How will he be able to explain, if until his roommate finds out in carrying that much cash?
for many years, they were sincere and loyal friends accompanying the poor Afzal. Afzal does not want his friends to leave him if he tells the truth now.
“Alright, I will go down to meet Xavia before I return a hundred thousand dollars to my account at the bank.” Afzal did not manage to find a good paper bag, haphazardly Afzal took a black plastic bag used by dormitory residents to dispose of garbage and then put a hundred thousand dollars together with photos of his memories with Xavia in a small lake near the campus.
“I'm here, Afzal!”Xavia waved her hand as soon as she saw Afzal walking towards her.
Suddenly things felt like they were back when the two of them were still dating. The difference, this time it was Xavia who felt even more uncomfortable. Many questions hung in his mind.
Afzal has bought a Hermes bag for fifty-five thousand dollars today.
Fifty-five thousand dollars!
How long would it take for an ordinary person to raise that kind of money? It was difficult for Xavia to understand how Afzal had suddenly become wealthy since breaking up with him, but Xavia was completely inexhaustible as to what had really happened.
That is why he deliberately used the photos as an excuse to meet Afzal.
“What's up?” Afzal was still angry when he arrived at the lake so he could not display his usual gentle side when dealing with Xavia. Instead, this time Afzal chose to be cold.
Xavia could not bear to see the black plastic bag in Afzal's hand.
“Ahh, I thought you would bring something when you meet me."
Xavia was really disappointed.
Earlier Xavia had dreamed that Afzal would bring her a fifty-five thousand dollar Hermes bag as a means to melt her heart while pleading for her to return to be Afzal's girlfriend.
It turned out that Afzal only brought a garbage bag that needed to be thrown away immediately after meeting him.
Afzal took the photos from behind his pocket and showed them to Xavia and said, “This is Xavia, after these photos I returned, then between us there is no longer any relationship at all.”
Afzal actually planned to keep the photos as mementos, but then he felt that it was no longer worth doing!
Xavia felt very offended this time. He felt very angry and he stomped his feet and hit Afzal in the chest.
“Stupid basis! You are really stupid! You think the reason I met you was simply asking you to return the photos?”
Afzal displayed a surprised expression on his face.
“If that's not the reason, then why are you asking me to meet you?”
“Afzal, how can I make you understand the truth? Do you really think that there is something between me and Yuri?”
Xavia continued, “You are really stupid, I did it all because I was testing you?”
“Testing me?” Afzal asked with a bitter smile.
Xavia went to the forest alone with Yuri just to test Afzal? It seems more correct to say that it was Xavia's attempt to test himself.
Afzal doesn't want to say anything more.
“Alright then, fuck that test. I just want to get these photos back and we better get to know each other from now on, goodbye,”
Afzal shook his head before he turned around and left Xavia.
“You, you....Afzal, stop! if you keep leaving me, I'll jump into the lake right now!”
Xavia really did not think that Afzal who was usually very obedient and very concerned about him, could apply very differently and coldly to him.
Xavia gathered all his courage to stand facing the lake, this time Afzal was not surprised by the actions of Xavia.
Afzal feels that Xavia is just trying to stop him, instead Afzal solidifies his move to leave the place.
But as Xavia leaned toward the lake, Afzal felt his eyelids twitch and began to worry.
Afzal turned and ran towards Xavia, immediately hugging his body so as not to jump into the lake.
While glazed Xavia said, “Don't try to stop me! If you no longer believe me, then I'd rather just die! Let me die!
Afzal took a deep breath. Inwardly, he could no longer trust Xavia.
Even so, when Xavia threatened to jump into the lake, Afzal felt that this time Xavia did so in earnest.
Afzal could not deny that his heart was touched, then hurriedly said, “Okay, okay, I believe you."
A wide smile expands on Xavia's lips, “I know it, Afzal! I know that you still love me. Do you know why I jumped into the lake, it's not because you bought a Hermes bag or because you're rich now, but simply to prove that my love for you is real!”
“From the beginning onwards, I was not a materialist. After all, if I were a materialist, then there was no way we could be together that long!”
Afzal speaks only a thousand languages.
Next Xavia looked at Afzal with a probing gaze and asked, “By the way, I was really curious. How, can you suddenly get rich? How can you buy a bag for fifty-five thousand dollars?”
Xavia really couldn't bear to ask questions about the bag.
Afzal had expected that Xavia would ask this.
After all, the situation was already different at the moment, he was no longer Afzal who had to tell Xavia everything.
Suddenly Afzal gets the idea to test Xavia.
“Oh, so you see, I helped a girl who almost got hit by a car a few days ago and I never thought that the girl I helped was a conglomerate. Because they were in a hurry then, then as a thank you they gave me One - off shopper's Card. They said that this card is very valuable and given to me because they really want to thank me.”
Xavia's eyeballs instantly widened.
“So that means Universal Global Supreme shooper's card that you can only use once?”
Afzal nodded.
“Then, then....where is that bag now? you can resell it and earn a lot of money!”
Xavia was beginning to feel disappointed.
Xavia really hoped that Afzal would get rich all of a sudden.
At the very least, he still had a Hermes bag worth fifty-five thousand dollars.
Afzal replied, “I gave the Hermes bag to Naomi as a birthday gift.”
“What?” Xavia was really surprised. “You just love someone else? You give that to a bag person worth fifty-five thousand dollars just like that? So that means now you have nothing left?”
Afzal nodded.
“Xavia, now I truly believe that you are not a materialist. It turns out you really love me. We'd better..”
Afzal wanted to hold Xavia's hand and Xavia brushed him off.
“Go you! Why would I love a poor man like you?"
After knowing everything, Xavia slapped Afzal quite hard.
“Sialang. I can't believe that I've wasted my time and almost jumped into the lake just for the sake of a poor person like you! This is really ridiculous! Stupid!”
Xavia shouted and glared at Afzal with a look of disdain.
“Hahaha!”
Afzal really couldn't bear to not laugh at Xavia's behavior.
Unwittingly, Xavia had truly shown her true self.
“Xavia, I am really disappointed in you.” Afzal said with tears in his eyes.
In the past, Afzal and Xavia were a very compatible couple.
“Already, I don't want to waste my time anymore. I don't care if poor people like you are disappointed in me! I shouldn't waste my time with people like you. People like you deserve to be a garbage man!”
To vent his anger and frustration, Xavia snatched away the trash plastic bag in Afzal's hands.
He intended to throw the garbage bag in Afzal's face.
The black-colored trash plastic bag was torn apart because Xavia snatched it violently.
One hundred thousand dollars scattered on the ground.
“What? It's..."
Xavia's eyes widened in disbelief at what he saw, the red banknotes momentarily floated in the air and scattered on the ground.
