See You Tonight

Chapter 134: Cindy's Strange Attitude

"Congratulations Cin" I said to Cindy.

"Eh. Oh yes Lang. Thank you," said Cindy who was half shocked because she was busy reading a novel as usual. I don't know why, lately I've rarely read any more books.

"Oiya, if you may know, what's your story telling you about?" ask me again.

Cindy did not answer. He then took the white sheets of paper on which the short story script had been written. Cindy then immediately gave the sheets to me.

"It's Lang, if you want to read," Cindy said as she gave the script. For some reason, I feel like there's something different about Cindy. I don't know why I feel, at this time Cindy's mood is not so good, even though she has just become the champion of 3 short story races and is also part of the 1st cooking competition champion.

"You why Cin? Not usually?" ask me.

"No papa Lang. There's nothing" replied Cindy who somehow looks at her face now shows the opposite of what she said just now. I'm getting more confused.

"Oh that's it. I guess there's nothing. You look like you're in that bad mood again," I said.

Cindy didn't answer me. He continued reading the book on his desk.

Now, time has shown at 18:41. The children in my class are now getting ready to go to the place where the bonfire is held.

"Oi Ben, hurry up a bit" Ahsan said.

"Yes, I'm afraid" said Ruben, who was still busy combing his hair in front of the mirror.

Meanwhile, Cindy also looks to have gone from her seat. This time, he didn't say hello to me at all. Not as usual.

***

The bonfire was held next to a football field. In addition to its spacious place, here is also the best place to hold a bonfire party. Plus, it's also safe here, because there's nothing flammable around here.

When I, Reuben, and Ahsan came, the bonfire was already burning. The students and teachers were then seen sitting or standing around the fire.

Beside the bonfire, acoustic instruments are already provided. Anyone is welcome to display their appearance if they please.

Currently performing are some teachers who are playing nostalgic songs. Maybe those songs were the top songs at the time they were High School or something.

When I see a musical instrument like this, I think of my old friend, Tora. I guess I haven't talked to him in a long time. I'm also curious, suppose he will perform or not well?

It's lucky tonight it didn't rain. The sky was clear and filled with stars. Not to forget, the moonlight that at night looks a little dimmer than yesterday, but that's not why, it's the attraction itself.

Because I suddenly urinated, I decided to go to the bathroom first. The bonfire is getting crowded and lively now. There are many students who are performing. There are those who display stand up comedy, acoustic music, singing, and others. I also have to be willing to leave this cool atmosphere for a while.

"I want to go to the bathroom firstwell," I said to Ahsan and Ruben.

"Do you want me to?" ask Ruben.

"No need" I replied.

"You sure you dare Lang?" ask Ruben.

I didn't answer, I went straight to the bathroom.

"Cindy?" I said the first time I saw her coming out of the bathroom.

"Eh Galang" he answered.

"Are you alone?" ask me.

"Yes I'm alone. Afraid of what?" askalanya.

"Oh ingga's. I thought that women were afraid of the dark" I replied.

"Engga. I'm ordinary," he said flatly. It looks like Cindy's still not feeling well.

"Oh so well hehehe. Want to go back to the campfire now?" ask me.

Cindy didn't answer me. He walked slowly forward. It seems he is holding something. I walked behind him and kept thinking about what made Cindy cold like that.

Just a few steps away, Cindy suddenly stopped.

"What's the Cin?" ask me who's wondering why Cindy suddenly stopped.

"You go first Lang. Do not be together like gini," he said.

"Eh, why?" I asked her, who was confused by what Cindy said.

"But you go first. Let me later," he said again.

"Why is that?" ask me.

If Cindy and I were to be seen from a distance, the person who saw us would think that we were a couple fighting. I also don't know why Cindy can change so, but this morning was still mediocre. I really can't understand what a woman thinks.

"So someone will be angry if we go together" he said again.

"Huh? Getting angry? Wh who? And angry at who?" answer me who increasingly does not understand.

"Celine, isn't she your lover?" said it.

"Huh? The celine? My lover? Where exists. I just got to know Celine as well as there hasn't been a week," answered me who was still confused.

"Kan Celine is beautiful, surely you've loved her at first sight right, like any other boy? I also saw that you were alone when you started the cooking competition" he said.

"Oh that, we both accidentally. I happen to meet him. He is alone too. All of a sudden he was sitting next to me and we talked about a lot of things. But Celine and I aren't lovers at all. Why do you think like that?" ask me.

Cindy was suddenly silent. He didn't answer my question this time. He then turned his body back to the front and began to walk slowly. He started walking without saying a word. I'm getting more confused. And also, why would Cindy think that Celine and I were dating? I don't know.

This time I didn't walk after him. I was afraid that if I walked behind him again, he would protest at me. I just stayed here while watching Cindy slowly drifting away.

***

In the middle of a bonfire so crowded and full of happy and joyful feelings, I somehow became very lonely. After Cindy left me without a word earlier, this feeling of loneliness has now taken away my feelings.
