Conglomerate Children Who Look Poor
chapter 16
Unwittingly, Afzal brushes the feet of a girl named Mila.
Mila wore clean white shoes for her beautiful feet and charming calves. The girl enthusiastically followed Victor's conversation about his car. Just like Afzal, the girl's entire attention was on Victor.
Without realizing it, Afzal's hand moved his dirty broom onto the girl's shoe, as soon as the girl's white shoes were covered in dust from the dirty broom held by Afzal.
The girl screamed as she realized what was going on.
Mila's shout certainly caught Whitney's attention as well as Victor's and everyone else who was inside the auditorium at the time.
“What's up, Mila?”
Whitney drew closer to Mila and asked with an attentive expression.
Victor also ran small towards Mila.
“Uhmm. No problem, why!”
Mila tucked a strand of hair into her ear and bent over and tried to clean the dust on her white shoes with a few sheets of wet tissue.
Instead of being clean, what Mila does is make her shoes even dirtier.
Mila was obsessed with cleanliness, her face pouting when she realized her shoes were getting dirty.
“Afzal, what have you done until Mila's shoes get dirty so?” Whitney asked with glaring eyes.
Victor did not want to miss and joined the pulpit scolding Afzal.
“Fuck, you poor man! Do you realize how much Mila's shoes cost? You will never be able to afford it!”
Victor took a few steps forward and grabbed Afzal's collar violently.
“Do not, stop, it is not him who did it!”
Realizing Victor is about to hit Afzal, Mila jumps up and attempts to reconcile.
Quietly it turns out that long enough Mila paid attention to Afzal. In the eyes of Mila, Afzal is a person who is different from other men in general.
From the appearance, Mila can guess that Afzal is not from a wealthy family.
That's the reason Victor and his friends always bully Afzal.
Strangely, though often bullied and demeaned, Afzal did not at all look like an inferior person. Mila could feel that from Afzal's eyes. Afzal is completely different from most men, his self-confidence is completely unaffected by his poverty.
Afzal always showed a humble attitude and his face exuded sincerity.
Although he was upset because his shoes were dirty, but Mila did not want anything bad to happen to Afzal because of it.
Mila chooses to defend Afzal when she realizes that Victor is going to hit Afzal.
“This can't be left, Mila! At least we should teach this poor fellow a lesson, ask him to change your shoes!” Victor said sharply.
Mila is a student from the Broadcasting and Media department and not from the language department.
Mila had been friends with Whitney since they were kids. That day he came to the auditorium to greet Whitney, his best friend.
Victor is quite fond of Whitney, but he is much more interested in his best friend, Mila.
“Oh, no need! I don't think we need to ask Afzal to change my shoes. The solution is easy, I can go back to the dorm and replace my dirty shoes with other shoes!” Mila's haste prevents.
Mila nodded faintly to Afzal.
“OK, you are lucky today!” Victor said as he looked cynically at Afzal. In his heart, Victor was delighted to feel that he had acted like a hero in the presence of beautiful girls.
Seeing Mila was about to move out of the room, Victor hurriedly made an approach.
“Ehm...Mila, by the way how about we go eat together later after you finish changing shoes? You all must be tired after training. I'll buy you all a meal at Orchard Garden, deh!”
“Wow! Orchard Gardens? I heard the fruit salad and steak were delicious but he said it was very expensive to eat there!”
“Bro Victor, I want to come!”
Invite Victor to Mila to eat at Orchard Garden to get the girls excited.
“Ok, alright!” victor shouted while clenching his hands together.
Whitney grabs Mila's hand and whispers, “Buruan, deh, to the shoe-changing dorm, we're all waiting for you!”
I don't know, but Afzal can sense that it seems Mila is not interested in Victor's invitation.
Mila realizes that her friends are very interested in eating with Victor. Mila still feels uncomfortable has been the cause of the commotion between Victor and Afzal.
Namu was so Mila could not refuse Victor's invitation this time.
Mila nodded faintly.
Victor is thrilled because of his strategy to get Mila on a successful date. Victor briefly glanced at Afzal before leaving the auditorium.
Whitney turned and looked at Afzal, saying, “What do you see, Afzal? Do you think you were invited to lunch with all of us? Listen, yeah, I still can't be sure about your subsidy! You should continue your work and make sure the auditorium is clean! Otherwise I'll teach you a lesson later if I'm back!”
Afzal shook his head and continued to be silent in the face of Whitney and Victor's insults.
Afzal held the anger in his heart.
This time Afzal tried to be realistic because he realized that he was not worth the physical fight with Victor.
It was not a wise choice to challenge a physical fight with Victor.
“Come, Mila! Let's enjoy the opportunity to ride a new car Victor type Audi A6, you know!”
Satisfied with glaring at and insulting Afzal, Whitney encourages Mila to rush out of the auditorium.
One by one they left the auditorium.
It is impossible for all the girls to go with Victor's car together because it will definitely not fit his capacity, Afzal curious later the arrangement.
The thought suddenly slipped into Afzal's mind as soon as he finished cleaning the auditorium.
I need a car too!
Benak Afzal is still filled with questions about the car.
It was noon when Afzal successfully completed his task of cleaning the auditorium.
Afzal's phone rang.
Apparently Harper who was in the dorm called him.
“Afzal, have you finished cleaning?”
Afzal nodded. “Already.”
“What Whitney is crazy? We discussed and concluded that if he dared to reject your subsidy application, then we will bring this matter to the rector!”
Afzal again felt his heart warm. “Thank you for caring about me!”
“Afzal, if you don't have an event, let's have lunch together!”
Harper suddenly invited Afzal to lunch together, but moments later Harper's tone of voice suddenly changed.
Harper's tone of voice indicated that he was blushing in shame.
As a close friend, if there is something strange with Harper then Afzal will soon know. Harper was usually very straightforward in words, tumben today he became a bit timid?
“Will anyone else come with us for lunch today?” Afzal deliberately asks to tease Harper.
“Bingo! Afzal, you remember Hayley, the girl who came with Alice at Naomi's birthday party last night?”
All of Alice's roommates were present at Naomi's birthday party last night.
Afzal laughed and vaguely recalled Hayley, a short-haired, cute and petite girl.
Despite not speaking a word, Hayley often rolled her eyes at Harper that night.
“Yes, I remember. Wh why? So you asked her out?” Afzal asked and his face showed a surprised expression.
“So like this, I met Hayley when I was going back to the dorm after I finished college. Apparently he lost his phone in the cafeteria and I volunteered to help him find it. You know, I'm pretty familiar with the people who work in the cafeteria. Well, I asked them to check the CCTV camera of the canteen, then we managed to find his lost phone!”
“I think it's destiny because since last night's meeting I kept thinking about it. That's why I tried to gather the courage to take her to lunch with me and my friends. Hayley agree!”
On the other end of the line, Harper's blooming.
Afzal also felt the happiness that Harper was feeling.
Somehow, but Afzal did not want to go with Alice and her friends.
Afzal couldn't stand the way they drew attention to his eyes.
“I'm happy, brother! I pray for the best for you! But I'm sorry, I don't think I can make this lunch yet because I don't want to be a mosquito repellent!” Afzal answered while laughing.
“Don't do that, dong! Can you refuse my invitation, Afzal? All our friends agreed to come. Naomi will follow! It seems like he wants to introduce someone very important to you today. If you don't follow, I guarantee you'll regret it!”
Harper's tone sounded serious this time.
“Someone very important?”
Afzal murmuring, “Sialan. What does it mean that Alice will also be having lunch together?”
