Chapter 185: The Horrifying News

"Hahaha it's wrong you're San" Ruben said.

"Eh wrong? How many numbers do you think that is?" ask Ahsan again.

"31" replied Ruben.

"Hahahaha wrong well," Ahsan just laughed.

The next day Thursday, October 11, Aji still looks moody. Means it's been 4 days now he looks less excited like that. In the meantime, we all don't know what caused it to be like that.

Right now, I also ventured to ask him. I hope, today Aji wants to tell me about his problem.

"You're not going to Ji's cafeteria?" ask Aji who is currently just sitting pensively in his chair.

"No Lang," he answered flatly and did not look at me.

"Yet you didn't go extracurricular, did you? What's up, anyway? Do you have such a sudden event? Many are looking for you yesterday," I continued again.

"Yesterday I felt bad, so I decided not to take extracurriculars first" Aji replied flatly.

"Oh you're sick Ji?" ask me again.

"Yes, it may be like that, but it may not be as painful as it usually is" he replied.

"Not the usual pain? What kind of pain?" ask me again.

Aji then just kept quiet and did not seem to answer my question just now. The look on his face had now turned into the look on the face of someone who was feeling sad.

"Eh why are you Ji? Did I say it wrong?" ask me who is confused.

"Actually me... But you don't talk to anyone yet, Lang?" said Aji who seems like this time will explain the cause of why he became moody over the past few days.

"Oh yeah, sure... I definitely won't tell anyone" I replied.

"Newly Renaldi who knows this, but I think it's okay if I tell you," said Aji.

Aji's answer surprised me a little. Apparently, all this time Renaldi had known the cause of Aji being moody for a few days. But every time I, Ruben, and Ahsan ask him about Aji, he always says he knows nothing. Maybe it was because he had promised not to tell anyone the matter just yet.

"Actually, I was rejected," continued Aji.

"declined? Rejected who is Ji?" ask me who feels so surprised.

"Sama Fani Lang's. You know that I used to stop by your mom's florist a while ago? It was actually I was buying flowers for Fani," Aji replied.

"Fani's friend Celine?" ask me again. So it turns out that time Aji often stopped by the flower shop was to buy Fani flowers. I was quite surprised by that fact.

"Iya Fani Celine's. For some reason since I first saw her, I fell in love with her. Love at first sight," replied Aji who increasingly made me feel surprised.

"When did you express that feeling?" ask me.

"Then, what did Fani say?" ask me again.

"He said he didn't have any special feelings for me. Hearing his reply back then, it made my world seem to be destroyed just like that. I fell into a deep abyss" replied Aji again.

Tet tet tet. Suddenly the bell sound of the end of the first break rang, which was a sign of the end of my conversation with Aji for this time. I also returned to my seat.

"Wad... Patient is Ji. Maybe if you try more, he'll open his heart to you" answered me who inexplicably told me such things. I feel like I didn't say that just now.

"Yes, I went back to my seat before everyone came back here" I said.

In the afternoon, after school. This time I, Ruben, and Ahsan were on their way to an up-and-coming angkringan. He said, angkringan there tastes very good and the price is relatively cheaper. Actually I was a little lazy to go there, but Ruben kept forcing me to go. In the end, I went there too.

That angkringan location I mean, said Ahsan was about 700 meters south of the School. We walked quite a distance this time.

***

Arriving there, I was quite surprised because the angkringan looks so crowded. More importantly, the angkringan looks so modern. Here also provided tables and chairs, there are also provided lesehan.

"Es orange pack 1," Ahsan told angkringan sellers. The angkringan seller is a man who may be around 40 years old. His mustache looks so thick and also wears a hat.

"I'm iced tea sir" said Ruben.

"Sama, I also have ice tea, sir" I said.

"Oiya bentar ya mas, patience. Ngantri. You see, there are also many more in line as well," replied the angkring seller with a fairly medok dialect. However, somehow the angkring seller's tone was like the tone of an angry person. I don't know if it's just my feeling.

The three of us then sat down at the lesehan place while waiting for our order to come. Before that, we took some typical angkringan food first, namely cat rice, intestinal satay, egg satay, and some fried fruit.

In the meantime I only take one cat rice and one intestinal satay. Anyway, I'm not really hungry right now.

But when I started eating the intestinal satay, it turned out to taste very good. I don't know why I think I should go back to taking it again. I then hurriedly returned to take his intestinal satay again. In the end, I took 5 pieces of intestinal satay.

"What is paper Lang?" ruben said when he saw me back with 5 more intestinal satay.

"Truely said Ahsan, it feels really good. I don't know why it feels like it's making me addicted" I said.

"Hahaha it's right... Oiya you two have heard the news that is stirring yet?" ahsan asked which made me a little surprised. Let alone what Ahsan meant by the hoax was the news about Aji that was rejected by Fani. Does Ahsan know the truth?

"What's tuch's raging news?" tanya Ruben mimicked Ahsan's special accent.

"Say, soon there will be new students. You will know that our class is still 24 people, so it is likely that the new student will be put into our class so that our class is even 25 people" said Ahsan.
