See You Tonight

Chapter 189: Tomi's Past

With a face that still looks not sad, Aji then began to tell me, "So, the reason I look so uninspired during this one week is because..." Aji seemed hesitant to continue that sentence.

"Because?" timpal Fahmi's.

"Oi mengarin dong Ji. You have to take responsibility if you have made people curious dong," said Ruben who somehow like not recognizing the current atmosphere.

Plaaaakk. Ahsan was immediately seen slapping Ruben's back from behind, "Sssstttt, you better shut up for now."

Aji then seemed to take a deep breath before exhaling, "Actually, I'm getting rejected."

"Ehhhhhhhhh? Ditolaaaaaaak?" everyone looks so surprised except me and Renaldi who have been told by aji before.

"Ciyus rejected? What noodles?" ahsan said with his trademark accent.

"Any who's Ji?" ask Fahmi.

"Wahhh it turns out you're approaching someone again huh? A siaappa? Why not tell me?" said Ruben who somehow even looks a little emotional.

"Would it be rejected who is Ji?" ask Calvin.

Almost everyone here asked Aji who of course still seemed so uninspired.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you about this. Even when I was in the approach stage, I didn't tell you anything. Of course the reason I don't tell these things is because I'm not used to talking about this kind of thing with my friends. Normally, I just harbored my feelings. But since I felt that I was already in High School, then I had to learn to express my feelings to the girl I liked. So, with my selfishness I ventured to express my feelings to the girl I was liking, Fani," said Aji.

"Haaa? A fani? The woman that looks like a judge and a bitch?" said Ruben as usual who came from ceplas-ceplos. Plakkkkp. Again one palm strike from Ahsan landed smoothly on Ruben's back.

"Oi'm sick tau," said Ruben.

"I told you to shut up first" Ahsan recalled.

"Wow, rejected yeah... I've never been rejected, but I seem to understand how you feel" Calvin said.

"Ha never been rejected? Wow great also you Vin, means your girlfriend a lot of dong?" ruben.

"The reason I've never been rejected is because I've never shot a girl know that kind of thing hehehe" Calvin said with a slight smile.

"Hmmmm, that's it.." said Ruben.

"Udah no papa Ji... I was also rejected. Just relax hehehe. Teacher Jiraiya said, rejection will make a man stronger," Ahsan said.

"Teacher Jiraiya? Who's she?" ask Aji.

"Do you not know Jiraiya's teacher? That's Naruto's teacher" Ahsan replied.

"Ji relaxed. I gini-gini was also once rejected," said Ruben who somehow even like being proud.

"Heee?" timpal Reuben.

"Hehehe yes Ji really said teacher Jiraiya, do not be too sad. Make it a lesson. After all, you still have us, your friends," said Calvin.

"The woman is the most confused creature. A moment ago you thought you understood it well, a moment to come you will feel that you do not understand it at all. Women are like the sky, sometimes bright, sometimes orange, sometimes dark, sometimes cloudy, sometimes rainy. All we need to anticipate is that we have to be ready to carry an umbrella, right?" suddenly Tomi makes a sound. I didn't know that Tomi could talk at such length. Moreover, the thing Tomi said earlier seemed to mean so much to him. Maybe the thing he said was some kind of experience.

"It turns out you can also talk about women, tom, I thought you were just talking about boring things" Ruben said.

"Do you not know? Tomi was in Junior High and was one of the most popular students. He was even nicknamed a playboy because of his so many girlfriends. It seemed like there was no day in Junior High that he spent without having a lover. There are even rumors that Tomi has 2 girlfriends at the same time" said Fahmi.

"Hahaha," Calvin only laughs to hear Fahmi unpack all of Tomi's past Junior High.

Tomi did not say anything about the thing that Fahmi had just said. It's just that somehow instead of looking upset because his past was told so casually, Tomi's face now looks rather sad.

As we were getting deeper into the matter, suddenly the shopkeeper's mother came to bring us our ordered food and drinks. Somehow the arrival of the guard mother is like a restart button on android or something. The atmosphere that had started to be tight, now seemed to be back to loosening.

"Again what to say?" said the mothers of the shopkeeper named Bu Yanti.

"Hehehe regular Mom. If young people are the chatter about love hahaha," said Ruben.

"Well, yeah hehehe. So remember when you were young. When the mother was young, the mother could be said to be the scramble for boys.." said Bu Yanti.

"Is that really mom?" ask Ruben enthusiastically.

"Yo endak lah (yes it is not), if in fact now the mother must have been his wife conglomerate hehehe," said Bu Yanti while joking.

"Hahahaha you can joke too" Ruben said.

After that, we continued to talk. Our chat is still no different, which is still about women and such. I myself just first talked about the problem of women like this, yes even though I just listen more anyway.

What surprised me the most was of course Tomi. Tomi seems to know a lot about these kinds of problems. The advice he gave Aji sounded so good and realistic. Tomi does look like a pro on this chat topic.

"Women are more likely to feel emotions than we men think. Even the smallest thing can change his mood. More precisely, the woman was a creature that was very dependent on her emotions. So, my advice is to be careful and always pay attention to his emotions" Tomi said.

"Hmmm oiya by the way you already have a boyfriend not tom at this time?" ask Ruben again with his eel.

"I? For some reason since High School, I always failed to get the heart of a woman hehehe" Tomi said with a wry smile. I think it's the first time I've seen Tomi smile like that.
