See You Tonight
Chapter 18: Guessing
On the way to the park.
"Oi Lang where were you from Junior High?" tanya Ruben opened the conversation.
"From SMP Tunas Bangsa" I replied.
"Ohh, by the way there's already a woman you're not expecting yet at school?" ask Ruben again.
"Why are you suddenly talking about that?" I answered with a slightly red face.
"Oi your face red tuh..wah must have existed huh? Hahahaha," Ruben continued with a laugh.
I do not reply to Reuben's words any more. I actually can't answer it.
"You yourself how? Who do you like?" it was Ahsan's turn to ask.
"If I had never loved someone before, right? I am the type of person who loves myself more than anything Hahahaha" replied Ruben.
"Maybe you need a mental doctor now more than anything? I see you're getting insane" Ahsan replied.
"Haah? What the hell are you talking about? I don't understand" replied Ruben again.
Again they are in a fight.
"Do you like reading books or novels? If you like you can buy it at the little bookstore across the street" I said, pointing to my subscription bookstore whose guard was the bespectacled old lady.
"Haah? A book? That boring damned thing? Not only do I not like it, but I even hate it. I declared war on them when I was in Elementary School. Especially in the textbooks," said Ruben by showing his upset face.
"Oi Ben's... If I were to become a doctor, I would try to find a cure for stupidity. I feel like I should do it as your friend" Ahsan said with a flat face.
"Dumb drug? What's that for?" reuben Reply.
"Of course for your stupidity that can no longer be hidden... Isn't that obvious?" reply Ahsan.
"Sometimes your words can also hurt my sensitive heart" replied Ruben again.
"It should be my sentence," Ahsan replied again.
"Hm... Oi how about we play guess?" ruben. "What cities can not drown?" continued.
"A moment I thought about it," replied Ahsan whose facial expression turned serious thinking of an answer.
I thought about the answer while walking.
"Ah I think I know the answer" I said.
"What's the answer?" reuben Reply.
"Lampung right? Pe-Lampung," I replied in a flat tone and low voice.
"Wahhhh was right... I can't believe the most junior members can guess. Score 1-0-0 for Galang," said Ruben.
"Siannnn... Bolleh you too Lang. Okay, now I'm going to be serious," replied Ahsan who looked a bit upset. "Well now it's my turn, what island, what old island?" ahsan.
Ruben and I thought for a moment.
"It looks like I'm very close to finding the answer but I can't reach it" Ruben said.
"That means you never think at all" Ahsan replied.
"I know," I said.
"Eh you again?" said Ruben surprised.
"Why do you look surprised Ben?" ahsan.
"The answer is Bangka. Old Bangka, right or wrong?" my words give answers.
"Sialannnn, again I did not get the points," Ahsan said in an annoyed tone.
"You're the next one who asks the question. For a while I let you lead first, we'll see in the end who will win. The score is 2-0-0 for Galang," said Ruben.
"Are you stupid or what? Of course you can't win, right? Now the score is 2-0-0. How could you possibly win while only one point remains up for grabs" Ahsan replied.
"Haaa? Don't fool me like that, in a match everything can happen until the end. I believe in that, as long as we don't give up we can, '" Ruben said excitedly.
"And now, I've really come to believe that your stupidity can no longer be saved" Ahsan said.
"So, what do I do now? Do I still have to ask questions? Or is this game over?" ask them.
"I told you, I will fight to the end, quickly read my question," replied Ruben.
"What the fuck is tuch, it's up to you Ben" Ahsan said.
"Well then, what food is screaming?" my words ask questions.
Ruben and Ahsan seemed to be thinking hard. If one of them can answer, then the other one will lose. For them, maybe this was a fight for their prestige.
"Because this is the last question, let us think first okay?" ruben.
"What the fuck is your face? You look so pale Ben, you're afraid of losing, aren't you?" ahsan.
"Haah? I think that's my word for you San" Reuben replied.
They were constantly thinking and thinking, but it seemed like they had not been able to get the answer.
"Sialaaannn, it's really hard... That's so fucking rude of you Lang. You're acting so arrogant to this senior of yours" said Ruben, who appeared to have given up.
"What the fuck nich. I'm nyerah. Damn it," Ahsan also seemed to have given up.
"You've given up?" ask them.
"Cih, don't be arrogant, yeah" said Ruben.
"This time I forgive you Lang" Ahsan said.
"The answer is ice cream" I said.
"Haaa? Why ice cream?" ruben was curious.
"Yet surprised and amazed yach Ben?" reply Ahsan.
"Haaa? Aren't you the same?" reuben Reply.
"Ice cream is almost the same as I scream. It means I'm screaming" I explained.
"Curtain, what the hell is that? How could I answer if I didn't understand the explanation. You're not from earth, are you?" said Ruben who still seems confused.
"Have Ben if indeed you do not understand do not have to force your brain is still 2 not that, let alone blame others like that. Have pity on yourself and the people around you" Ahsan said.
Unknowingly we reached the park. This park is quite large. There are slides, swings, seesaws, and toys for other small children. Here there are also many chairs, trees are lush leaves, even here there is also a fish pond. Usually residents around here use this park to babysit their children, relax, take a break from the hustle and bustle of daily activities, or just recreation on the weekend.
When the afternoon comes, many small children who play ball, hide and seek, or play games that are already available here such as swings, slides, or others.
This time, the atmosphere in the park is quite crowded, probably because it has entered the weekend. Then we looked for an empty chair to sit in. Luckily, there are still some empty seats. We chose a chair that was under a tree, because now the sun is still a bit high. This is the first time I've been to the park with anyone else.
"Oi see isn't that Cindy?" suddenly Ruben made a voice while pointing at a girl reading under a large tree. He was not sitting on a chair, but was directly sitting on the grass. He seemed alone.
