See You Tonight

Chapter 173: Different Time Zones

Sunday, October 7th. The day some people were waiting for him. Me included.

Today, me and the others as planned, will go on vacation to Magelang city. Because quite a lot of people came, we also chose to all rent a small bus.

This morning, it just so happened that the sky was very clear. I hope this clear sky will last until this day is over. Or at least until we reach our homes.

Currently, the time has shown at 06:00. There was still about 1 hour left until we gathered at the school. Previously, we had agreed to gather at the school at exactly 7. The bus was waiting for us in front of the school.

All the stuff I need, I packed last night. So, this morning I just need to check it for a while before leaving. Before that, of course I will eat out my breakfast first so as not to starve later.

The breakfast I was eating right now was chocolate cereal and bread. Plus one glass of white milk. This time, I deliberately added my breakfast portion so that my energy last long.

"I left first, ma'am" I said as I walked into the front room.

"Oh yes, be careful Lang," replied the mother who still looked busy in the kitchen.

Because the holidays this time did not get to stay overnight, the luggage I brought was not too much. Just enough stuff and snacks.

In order not to get bored while on the road, I also bring earphones which I currently also wear. Right now, what I'm playing is a song from my favorite band Green Day called Homecoming.

There are unique facts about this Homecoming song. First, the three Green Day members Billie Joe, Mike Dirnt, and Tre Cool all got their own singing parts. They got a turn to be the lead vocals. In addition, the length or duration of this song is also not as prevalent as the duration of a song in general. In general, a song will last about 3-5 minutes or around that. However, Homecoming itself has a duration of more than 9 minutes. Actually in addition to Homecoming, there is still one more song from Green Day whose duration is 9 minutes more, namely Jesus Of Suburbia.

Without feeling it, now I'm almost at school. I'm about 100 meters away and I'll be there.

Finally, I have arrived. When I arrived, I immediately saw the watch on my left hand that was currently showing at 06:47. There is still about 13 minutes left until the gathering time comes.

Currently, there are enough children who have come such as Cindy, Sofia, Celine, Fani, Ayu, and Renaldi. I was quite astonished today, too, that Renaldi had left alone without Aji.

5 Minutes until 7 in the morning. Currently, there are only 2 people who have not come. The first of course you can guess, which is who else if not Reuben, the king late. The second is Aji. I don't know why Aji hasn't come yet. He was one of the coordinators. Come to think of it, maybe this is the first time I know Aji who is almost late. Unlike usual, it always comes early.

Exactly 2 minutes before 7, Aji is now seen coming from the south. Of course, right now Aji looks so rushed. However, when I first saw this, my mind was more focused on his current appearance.

Aji's current appearance, impressed like not his usual appearance. His hair looks more climsy, a very neat shirt, belts, shoes, and others. When Aji was getting closer, the fragrance of the perfume was immediately smelled by me and maybe also by others. I don't know why Aji is not the usual Aji.

"Of course there's still one seed that hasn't come yet" Ahsan said cynically.

"One seed? Haven't arrived? Oh don't-don't you, Ruben hasn't come yet?" said Aji who immediately understood the meaning of the word Ahsan said just now.

"Who else would it be if it wasn't the kuaci. If it's not too late, it's not the kuaci seeds name," Ahsan murmured ridiculing Ruben who still hasn't come.

At exactly 07:03, the long-awaited person finally arrived. Ruben was seen running from the end of the road to get here. What stole the most attention from Ruben right now was his luggage that looked so much. Even his luggage looked bigger than his own posture.

"Oi was a long time ago this you. Can you not be late one time?" ahsan muttered to the newly arrived Ruben.

"Aren't I on time?" ruben asked somewhat astonishedly and with a look of innocent face.

"It's not too late for your nutmeg, look it's already 7 o'clock more," Ahsan said while showing her watch which honestly I just first saw Ahsan wearing a watch. Could it be a new watch? I don't know.

"Widihhh this new watch... Well, you must have been just an intention to show off, right? Cheap watches that want to be exhibited, hahaha," said Ruben who somehow turned around to mocked Ahsan.

"I mean you see what time it is? Haaaa? What time do you think it's still? How dare you say with innocent face that you are not late" said Ahsan.

"So my house is still at 7 a quarter less, why on your watch is 7 more hours already huh? Is the time zone in my house and in your house different?" ruben.

"Your brain is no different. Where our home time zone may be different. Only different from one sub-district in different time zones. Ehhhh... You just said that the wall clock in your house is still at 7 a quarter?" ask Ahsan.

"Yes, it's still 7 a quarter less. Why why?" ask Ruben.

Plakkkkp. Instead of revealing an answer, Ruben even got a tremble on his shoulder.

"JUST AS SOON AS YOU'RE TOO LATE, IT TURNS OUT THAT THE WRONG THING IS NOT JUST YOUR BRAIN, THE CLOCK IN YOUR HOUSE IS ALSO WRONG COKKKK," ahsan shouted with emotion which was immediately greeted by other laughter, including me.

"Hahhaha, yeah let's get on the bus quickly. It's been awaited," said Aji who somehow since when he was currently wearing sunglasses.
