See You Tonight

Chapter 206: Ruben And Alex

Thursday, October 18, this morning like the morning before, I left for school on foot. This morning when I just woke up, somehow my mood was not as good as usual. When I woke up this morning, I felt so agitated and I woke up in a state that was already very sweaty.

I don't know why it happened. Or maybe because I had a nightmare last night? I don't know. Last night I had a dream that I and the city were at war with another country. Almost every moment there was the sound of a bomb being dropped.

Every town looks so dirty and shabby. Every child I meet is crying.

Although the background of the dream is in this city, but strangely I did not meet with people I know. I didn't even meet Hana or mom. What a strange dream.

As the war grew, I was given a weapon by someone I didn't know. Then before I could use the weapon, I suddenly woke up in a state of anxiety and sweating. When I woke up it was only half 4 a.m. I tried to go back to sleep, but I always couldn't. In the end, I only studied for a while and then read more novels while accompanied by a glass of hot chocolate.

This morning, the sky looked so bright. Small birds can be seen flying here and there to decorate the view of the horizon this morning.

Because this morning I left pretty early, maybe later I can meet Cindy while passing by her grandmother's bookstore. Usually if you leave at this time, I'll meet him.

I kept walking while thinking about a lot of things. I rarely speak, but that doesn't mean there's nothing I think about. In fact, quite the opposite. There are so many things I think about. Even the small things. They always circled around in my head.

As I was passing through the bookstore area, Cindy suddenly walked out of the store. As I thought before.

"Eh Galang's. Good morning," said Cindy.

"Yes, morning is also Cin," my timpal which is currently stopping my steps for a moment while waiting for Cindy to approach.

"Wah tumben you leave at this hour," Cindy said again when it approached me. The two of us walked straight to school.

"Yes, I woke up this morning and couldn't sleep anymore. Yes, so I left earlier than usual" I replied.

"Oh so yeah... Did you run out of nightmares so wake up in the morning and can't sleep anymore?" ask Cindy.

"Eh, how do you know? Yes, you've had a nightmare" I replied in surprise.

"I don't know... I just thought about it, right? That's why I use question sentences, not statements" Cindy said.

"Eh oh yes well hehehe," I chimed in with a smile.

"By the way you've had a nightmare, Lang? May know?" ask Cindy again.

I told her my dream last night. I told him all the things I remember.

Without feeling it, we are now in front of the school. We went straight in and went to class.

Arriving in class, there were still a few new students coming. There may not be 10 students who have arrived. Understand because this time still includes the initial hours.

***

In less than 5 minutes until the bell goes off. But there are still two students who are seen still not sitting in his place. The names of the two students are Ruben and Alex. I'm not too surprised by Ruben because he often comes at the end or even late. But for Alex, even though he had just left 3 times, but he never came until recently.

Right in the last seconds, Ruben and Alex are seen coming at the same time. They were seen running fast on their way here.

"Oi step aside" said Ruben, nudging Alex.

"Somehow are you getting caught up in between again huh? You spoiled child. Just leaving once not in between already want to be late, spoiled base," said Ruben again.

"Haaa? You'd better reflect first before mocking others. Isn't your house the closest? But why do you always come last?" said Alex.

Tet tet tet. The sound of the bell entering ended their debate until here.

***

Right now I, Ruben, Ahsan, Aji, and Renaldi are in the cafeteria. We sat in the canteen while chatting casually.

"Oi am astonished" said Ruben.

"How come Ben?" tymphal Aji's.

"I wonder the same lazy person who is always to blame. Imagine that lazy people do not flinch, but what in salahin? Wrong where try? He didn't do anything" replied Ruben.

"I've told you many times if the wrong thing is your brain," Ahsan who was immediately greeted with another laugh.

"Haaa what do you mean? The base of the last rank," Ruben turned around while mocking Ahsan.

"Hahaha, that's it" said Aji who tried to break Ahsan and Ruben.

"Oiya Ji, by the way are you better now?" ask Ruben.

"Oh yes, hehehe. From the moment we got together, my feelings got even better" Aji replied.

"How is your relationship with Fani going?" ask Ruben again.

"Yes that's it. Nothing has changed. Maybe we were just meant to be friends" Aji replied with a slight smile.

"Hmmm women are hard to understand" Ruben said.

"Oiya Ben I was wondering why you and Alex were able to leave together?" ask me.

"We did not go together, just happened to leave at the same time" replied Ruben.

"Oh yes I mean so, that means he actually went alone? Not driving the car as usual?" ask me again.

"Yes, really. When I came out of the alley of my house and headed for the main road, I suddenly saw him walking alone with a face that was so exhausted. I don't know, but maybe the house is quite far away or something" Ruben said.

"Well, yes, but by the way why did Alex suddenly decide to go alone," said I who was still curious.

"Maybe he just wants another time" said Ruben.

"Where it may be," said Ruben.

"By the way about Alex, he still doesn't seem to be too close to the other students? The closest student to him is you Ben" said Aji.
