See You Tonight
Chapter 47: Ambition
The last two children were Fajr and Calvin. I think dawn is a person who always looks busy, besides that he also looks very clever. Perhaps academically, he was the smartest boy in our class.
Calvin is the only boy who wears glasses. I realized recently that Calvin and I were once Junior High. I was really surprised when I learned that fact.
Of the eleven children, all seem to have their own small groups. Ahsan with Ruben, then Aji with Renaldi. Then Calvin, Fahmi, and dawn. Next Great, Ihsan, and Tomi. The last one is Risal. Risal doesn't look too close to anyone. When resting he is more often seen reading comics or just sleeping on his desk while listening to songs using his big earphones. Actually Risal reminded me of myself when I was Junior High who always looked alone and cool with his own world.

In the morning, I plan to just fall asleep and read a book until noon. In other words, I don't have any plans until noon.
Looks like I'll be reading a book about Football again. I'm really getting serious about football. I also now have a favorite football club, namely Liverpool FC from England there. The club based at the Anfield stadium has been fasting the league title for approximately 29 years.
Even so, somehow I immediately fell in love when I saw all aspects of the club. Starting from the stadium, names, coaches, players, fans, and their history from the beginning of the formation of the club. I like all of them.
For the extracurricular Soccer Wednesday this week, the plan is that Mr. Bimo will already start making selections for the preparation of the city-level tournament. For some reason after hearing that, I also became even more excited and motivated. I also wish I could be chosen as one of the players representing our school. It feels like this is the first time in my life that I have this ambition.

After reading a book for a long time, I also felt enough to read a book about football for today. It's about 12:21 now. Maybe I'll have lunch first before deciding what to do next.
As I was about to grab lunch in the kitchen, my phone suddenly rang. I took my phone and saw who was calling me. The one who called me was Ruben.
To be honest, I'd rather exchange messages than talk on my phone. Sometimes even I have to wait for the call to stop first before I return the phone with a message. I don't feel good if I have to refuse a call, but I'm also not too comfortable if I have to chat over the phone. Therefore I will just wait for the call to stop before I send him a reply message.
After my phone stopped ringing, it turned out that Ruben was calling again. My phone rings again. I also had to pick up the phone from Ruben.
"Hallo Lang?" reuben said as I received his call.
"Hallo Ben, what's wrong?" answer me.
"Oh my pulsations will run out" said Ruben quickly.
After Ruben said the sentence earlier, the phone connection was suddenly cut off. I was kind of wondering why he called me if his pulse was running out? Shortly after, Ruben sent me a message through WA.
"Sori Lang, my pulse was up, so the phone disconnected at wkwkwk" the message read.
"Yes gapapa. Anyway if your pulse wants to run out why not just send WA? Or most engaged phone via WA?" ask her a little wonder.
"I think that my pulse was still a lot of wkwkwk, it turned out that only a few words had run out," he replied.
"So, what's the matter with Ben you calling me that?" ask me curious.
"Regular to play. Bosen I'm alone at home," he replied quickly.
"Where is it?" answer Ruben who answers the question with a question.
"Where do I know. You're the one who picked up Ben," I replied.
"Wkwkkwk also. How about we go for a swim in the afternoon?" ask Ruben.
"Byeah, I don't have an afternoon show either. Where'd you go swimming?" ask me again.
"At the pool "Tirta" aja, which is cheap," he replied.
"Okay, what time will you be there?" ask me again.
"What about two o'clock? Later let it be there not too late in the afternoon," replied Ruben.
"Byeah, I'll be at your house at two o'clock" I replied.
"Okay, I wait," replied Ruben.
After that, I continued my steps to the kitchen to take my lunch. Today's menu is vegetable tempe with clear soup. I then poured the clear soup and vegetable tempe into the warm rice that I just took. I also ate my lunch menu greedily.

fifteen minutes until 2 p.m. I was also getting ready to go to Ruben's house immediately according to my promise. Before, I had put a change of clothes and soap into the bag I was carrying right now. After I finished tying my shoelaces, I was ready to go straight to Ruben's house.
Today's weather is pretty cloudy, not too sunny. I also walked fast enough this time to get to Ruben's house soon.
As usual, Mom and Hana are in the flower shop. I asked my mother for permission by sending a message through WA. I never once was forbidden by my mother when I wanted to go somewhere. My mother always allowed me to go to any place I asked permission to go. My mom would just say "be careful".
As I passed by Cindy's grandmother's little bookstore, I found that it was closing. Maybe now Cindy and her grandmother are relaxing while enjoying a tea made by Cindy that tastes very distinctive. I don't know if I'm just guessing.

Finally, I reached the front of Ruben's house that looked lonely. I knocked on the door of his house and called his name. It took a while until he opened the door.
"Are you late Lang" he said when he first opened the door.
"But I've been in front of your house since. Because you opened the door long enough, I looked like I was late" I said.
