See You Tonight

Chapter 20: Dinner

While waiting for Mama and Hana to come home I made them drink.

"Do you want a warm or cold drink?" ask them.

"I'm cold" replied Ruben.

"You cold Ruben, I'm definitely warm" Ahsan replied.

"Haah? what the fuck?" reuben Reply.

Even for a small thing like a drink, they can argue. They are very interesting.

"OK wait a minute well," I said as I left them in the living room.

Today went so fast. I enjoyed every moment I spent with them today. I also became a little more knowledgeable about them today. Besides, I'm also getting a little familiar with Cindy. I was quite surprised to find out that he knew Hana.

It's just that there's one thing that's a little bumpy about today's events, which is when I found out that Ahsan liked Sofia. I don't know why it feels a little uncomfortable. I don't understand why I feel uncomfortable knowing that. I was very confused myself, because this is the first time I have ever felt anything like it.

I made cold orange syrup for Ruben and warm tea for Ahsan. If I was told to choose, I would prefer a cold drink. So, I also made cold orange syrup for myself.

After I finished making the drink, I took the drink to the living room, where Ahsan and Ruben were. As usual, from a distance they seemed to be debating something.

Before I got to the living room, Mom and Hana went home.

"Eh there is a friend Galang," said my mother when she first opened the door and entered. Furthermore, Ruben and Ahsan also greeted my mother. Hana looks just hiding shy behind my mother's waist. It was not usual to see Hana acting like that.

"Hana let's shaman first with these brothers," said my mother as she pulled Hana slowly to shaman.

"Father Hana, don't be ashamed, it's all my sister's friends" I said as I put down the drink I brought earlier.

"Oi San, it's because of you, Hana's so scared" Ruben told Ahsan.

"What the tuch," Ahsan replied in his distinctive tone of voice.

Hana was seen laughing when she heard Ahsan's words. After that, Hana wanted to shake hands with them.

"Hana," said Hana as she shook hands with them. After that Hana immediately ran towards her room, maybe she was still a little embarrassed at them.

"Gah Galang already have many friends well," said my mother.

"Yes aunty hehe" replied Reuben.

"Where is your house, by the way?" ask mom again.

"If I'm in the Pineapple Gang near aunty school" replied Ruben.

"If I'm on Jalan Aji the ultimate no 8" Ahsan replied.

"Who's near the school nice dong hehe, oiya by the way whose name are you guys? Aunty forgot her name," asked the mother again.

"My name is Ruben, aunt," replied Ruben.

"If I am Ahsan aunty" Ahsan replied.

"Ohh nak Ruben same nak Ahsan huh. yasudah because it's here, you guys just come to dinner?"

"May aunt" said the two of them.

"Oiya I forgot to tell mom earlier, they were planning to come to dinner with us" I said.

"Well, then wait a minute, auntie wants to make dinner first," said mother then she went straight to the back.

My mother rushed to cook. Hana and I helped out a little. This time I'll cook some fried rice. I helped to cut the required spices, while Hana was busy asking mom the names of the ingredients.

After we finished making fried rice, we immediately ate the fried rice together. Of course, the atmosphere of dinner this time felt more crowded than ever before.

After finishing dinner, Ruben and Ahsan returned home.

"We're going home aunty first, thank you," said Ruben, bowing his body slightly.

"Wahh is nothing, next time you guys please come here again yes, aunt even happy if the atmosphere becomes crowded," said my mother with a little smile.

"Yes aunty, next time we must stop here again, excuse me." said Ruben who then immediately rushed to leave our house with Ahsan.

Night around 20:45 in the living room.

"Mother Lang, you have many friends" said the mother.

"Yes, I should be thanking Ruben and Ahsan. Actually, I didn't do anything to be their friend. One time during a break, they suddenly took me per to the cafeteria. Since then we have become more familiar. Even they had considered me a friend from the beginning," I replied.

"Well, they're good kids, yeah" said the mother again.

"Yes, I think so, too" I replied briefly.

"Other than them, is there anything else you know Lang?" ask mom again.

"Oh yes, before we came here we had to stop by the park. In the park, we met my classmate Cindy. Actually we had invited him to come to dinner here as well, but it's a pity at the coincidence can not. Oiya, he said he also knew Hana loh. How do you know Cindy's sister?" my spoken.

"Oh big sister who is always in the park while reading a book? Yes, I remember. We used to play together in the park" Hana replied as she chewed on biscuits.

"It's not like you're playing together, but rather you're the one who's bothering him, right?" I tried to get hit on Hana.

"No, it doesn't bother the kokkk," Hana said in a bitter tone.

"Hahaha just try to ask Cindy's sister," I said again.

"Mother's sister eviltt," said Hana who this time embraced the mother with her bad mood face.

"After that, my sister was just kidding Hana," said the mother as she rubbed Hana's back.

After that, I went upstairs. I went to the balcony before I went to bed. I want to enjoy the city at night from the balcony.

I sat facing west. The sound of the wind that usually sounds sad, for some reason today sounds cheerful. The trees that were moving were blown by the wind, looking like they were greeting each other.

I looked up, as usual the moon was watching me from up there. I wonder what the distance between me and the moon is? I don't think it's too far away, because when I close my eyes, I feel like the moon is right in front of me.

It didn't feel like the night was getting late, I almost fell asleep while I was here. It was time to go back to my room.

Upon entering the room, the first thing I did was turn off the lights first. It seems, for tonight I will not read the continuation of the novel first. I feel so sleepy and want to go straight to sleep.

I opened my body and stared at the ceiling. Slowly, I started to close my eyes. Today feels very special. Good evening.
