See You Tonight

Chapter 26: The Cry

"Huooo," Ahsan tried to spit out the bread given by Ruben earlier.

"Why are you?" ask Ayu the class leader who happened to be standing not far from there.

"Father Yu, this is only because of the child****Ruben," said Ahsan who was still trying to get the bread out of his mouth.

"Eh Reuben? Why?" ask Ayu again.

"Hahahahaha," suddenly Reuben laughed very loudly.

"Damn you" Ahsan told Ruben.

"Ahahahahahhahah," Reuben still laughed.

"What exactly is going on?" asked Erni who was sitting in her chair.

I also did not know what really happened to make Ahsan spit out Reuben's bread. I don't think the bread is poisonous or anything, because I saw Reuben just bought the bread with me.

"Hahahaha good bread?" asked Ruben with a laugh. From that moment Ruben looked very entertained. Maybe it was Ruben who made Ahsan that way.

"Cih, look out for you well, next time I will reply," said Ahsan who now looks normal again. He went back into the classroom and approached us.

"That means now the score is 48-45 is still my advantage?" reuben said again.

"Currently, you're lucky that I'm off guard" Ahsan replied.

"Actually why did you spit out that bread San?" I asked who was still astonished.

"The problem is not the bread, but the content of the bread. I don't like chocolate very much" Ahsan explained.

"Oh, I guess why."

"Hahaha now you're sleepy again, right? Not good you are sleepy during the hours of Mathematics lessons," said Ruben again who still looks satisfied after successfully pranking Ahsan.

"I don't want to hear that sentence from people who have never passed a repeat of math, though" Ahsan replied.

"Huh? Why do you feel like a woman diverting the conversation like that?" reuben Reply.

"What the fuck tuch, you yourself are switching the conversation," said Ahsan who returned using his trademark accent. Again, the two of them got into a fight again.

The bell sign of the end of the first break also reads as well as ending the debate Ruben and Ahsan.

***

In the afternoon at 15:15, the bell marking the end of the lesson hour finally rang. Teachers and students began to leave the classroom, except for students who were getting picket schedules.

"I waited outside the classroom, Lang" said Ruben, who was carrying a bag on his back.

"Oh okay, Ahsan's coming?" my many.

"Yes he's coming. I took her and she said she wanted to."

"Where does Ahsan go now?"

"Maybe she's going to the bathroom now."

"Oh so."

Then Ruben went straight out of class and sat there waiting for me.

***

At the shoe store.

"It looks good, but the price is not good" Ruben said, shaking his head.

"Hahahaha what the fuck is tuch," Ahsan replied laughing.

We're at Ahsan's subscription shoe store. Ahsan is often involved in various sports from small. Starting from Volleyball, Badminton, Football, Basketball, and Tennis. Almost all sports he mastered.

"You got Lang?" ask Ahsan.

"At this time, I chose this one" I said.

"The size is right?" ask again.

"Yes, I tried that."

Then Ahsan called the store employee to wrap it up.

"Oi Ben hurry a little, a long time ago you," Ahsan said again.

"Patience boy, I'm looking for the right price again hahaha," Reuben replied with a laugh.

When Ruben was cool to choose, suddenly came visitors our age. After looking at it again, it was Fahmi. Fahmi is our classmate. His body was a bit stocky, and his hair always looked neatly split aside.

"Oii" Ruben shouted and waved at him. Then Fahmi approached us.

"Eh you guys here too? what shoes are you looking for?" ask Fahmi who just came.

"We're looking for football boots for the extracurriculars tomorrow" Ahsan replied.

"Oh that's it."

"What are you looking for yourself?" ask Ruben.

"I want to get some shoes for volleyball" he replied.

"Oh you're in extracurricular volleyball?" ask Ruben again.

"Yes that's it. I want to see first, well" said Fahmi as he slowly left us.

"You've got Ben yet?" ask Ahsan again.

"Wait, I told you I'm looking for the right price" replied Ruben.

"You just pick the shoes you like Ben, then I'll have less to add" I told Ruben.

"Ehhhhh really Langg?" ruben said in disbelief.

"Yes, really. Anyway I still have pocket money more than last month."

"Wahhhhh Lang, if you need anything later, just tell me, I will definitely help you."

"Then, I again choose this one hahahaha, indeed if it is a match will not go where," said Ruben.

"Have you tried that shoe so quickly, the size is right or not?" ahsan.

After that, Ruben also tried the shoes. However, it seems that the shoes are a bit small.

"Where?" ask Ahsan.

"Squittness," replied Ruben lethargic.

"foolishness? Hahahahaha*****you're well. This might be karma because you just broke into me," Ahsan said with a satisfied laugh.

"Excuse me, for this model shoe is there still a larger number?" Ruben asked the store employee while carrying the shoes he had chosen earlier.

"So soon, I check first" replied the store employee who then went into the warehouse to check.

After a while, the employee finally returned.

"I'm sorry, the size is just this," he said.

"Oh yes, yes, you are looking for another," said Ruben limply.

"Hahahahaha eat tuch," Ahsan ledek.

This time Ruben did not respond to Ahsan. Looks like Ruben is really sad about not being able to buy that model. Then he looked for shoes he liked.

After about 10 more picks, Ruben finally found the shoes he wanted to buy. This time it was just the right size. Ruben bought the shoes. In addition, the money brought Ruben turned out to be right. So I didn't add any money. After that, we immediately left the store.

***

About 16:50 after the shoe store.

"Look at the same strange wagon" said Ruben, pointing at the merchandise cart parked on the side of the road.

"Where? Which side?" ahsan was curious.

"That's the look, in the wagon it says 'Bakar Roti' but it turns out the sale is rujak hahaha," Ruben said with a laugh.

"Oh yes it is hahahaha," Ahsan laughed along.

"I go home first, yes" I said suddenly to them.

"Eh why? You're not coming with us?" asked Ahsan who immediately stopped laughing.

"Yes, what's wrong, Lang? You also look moody from this morning?" it was Ruben's turn to ask.

"No, it's okay. Maybe I'm just not feeling well today. Yaudah I'm going first. See you tomorrow" I said, who then rode the bike I had been on while walking with them. I immediately left them.

I feel like I want to get home soon and lock myself in my room. Suddenly I remembered the incident this morning when I saw Sofia leaving with another man. I don't know why I felt so upset just to see Sofia leaving with another man. Plus, he hasn't even returned a message from me. My mind is so fucked right now.

I rode my bike pretty fast. In fact, I almost hit the person who was crossing the street. Luckily, I was able to brake on time.

Suddenly I decided to go home through the park. I wish I could meet Hana there. I hope that by meeting Hana, my feelings can get better.

***

When I got to the park, it turned out that Hana was not here. The current atmosphere of the park looks very quiet. It's like there's nobody here.

But as I was leaving the garden, I suddenly heard the sound of crying. The sound of a woman's cry sounds the same as the sound of birds flying in the afternoon. I got off my bike and approached the sound of crying. My heart was beating at that moment. The closer I got to the sound of the crying, the more familiar the sound of the sound. I seem to have heard this voice. I continued to approach the sound of crying slowly.

After I searched, it turned out that the sound of crying came from behind this tree. I slowly peeked behind the tree. I was surprised to find out that the sound of crying was the voice of my classmate Cindy.

Cindy was seen crying while lowering her head. His arms were seen tightly hugging his own legs. I don't know what to do now. Looks like Cindy didn't know about my presence either.

"Ci...Ci-Cindy?" I tried to dare to call her name.

After hearing my voice earlier, Cindy was seen trying to stop her crying. It seemed that he did not want to be seen by others in this state of crying. However, the more he tried to stop his crying, the more his tears flowed, even though now the crying was noiseless. But, those flowing tears seemed to reveal a deep pain.

I am also sitting next to him. I didn't say anything to her anymore. I just waited for her tears to stop flowing.

***

After waiting for a while, Cindy finally stopped crying. But, it seemed Cindy was unwilling to speak. He just kept quiet.

"Would I take you home?" I asked her slowly.

Cindy still hasn't answered. He just kept silent while staring at the darkening sky. His eyes are so soft and soft. I don't know how long he's been crying here. If I hadn't come, would she still be crying until now?

"Ma.af yes Lang..," Cindy finally spoke even as she stammered.

"Sorry why Cin?" ask me slowly.

Once again Cindy kept quiet and didn't answer my question. I really don't know what to do right now. I really don't know what's really going on here. And why is Cindy crying here. I can't possibly question him right now with his condition like that. I just have to wait until he feels better.

Cindy pulled my sleeve slowly.

"Eh what's up? You want to go home now?" ask me slowly.

He did not say anything, only this time he nodded. I helped him stand up as well. If not wrong Cindy once said that her house is around here. I remember what Cindy said at the time.

I finally remembered that Cindy's house was across the street, and it was orange. I looked around and finally found a house across the street that was orange.

We slowly walked towards his house. Luckily, Cindy can still walk on her own. After reaching her house, Cindy thanked him in a soft voice and slightly bent her body and went straight into her house without saying another word.

After that, I immediately returned to pick up my bike and immediately rushed home. As the sun sank, I reached home.

"I'm home" I said as I opened the door.

No one answered my greetings. Looks like Hana and mom still haven't come home from the store. I went straight to the bathroom to shower first. It feels like a very exhausting day. I don't know what I'm supposed to do when I meet Cindy tomorrow. Do I have to act like nothing happened? I don't know.

After I finished the shower, I went straight to my room. As I lay my body on the bed, I heard Hana and Mom enter the house.

"Sister, are you home?" hana shouted from downstairs.

"Yes, my brother has come home" I shouted from inside the room. Then after that, I went downstairs to get ready for dinner with my sister and mother who I love.
