See You Tonight
Chapter 53: Stay
"However," answered my mother, who now looks busy looking at the notes.
"Thank you ma'am, then I'll go home first" I said.
"Yes Lang," replied the mother who still looked seriously at her notebook.
I left the flower shop and rushed straight home. There are still a few hours left until I leave for Ruben's house.
***
At 18:30, I was getting ready to go to Reuben's house. I brought a blanket and some snacks for a snack. Maybe this is the first time I've stayed at someone else's house, so I feel a little nervous.
"When will you stay until when?" ask Hana plain.
"It's only tonight hehehe" I replied with a smile.
"Away from brother?" ask again.
"Well, the sister house around the school sister. So, it's not too far away" I replied.
"Oh so, yes" he said again and went running back to his room.
After that, I said goodbye to my mother and went straight to Ruben's place.
"I'm leaving first, ma'am" I said.
"Oh yeah Lang, be careful," my mother replied.
The atmosphere of the road at night is quite crowded, maybe because tomorrow is a national holiday. On the left right of the road many things are installed that are very smelling independence day. Such as flags, flickering lights, red and white paint, banners, and others. The townspeople seemed very enthusiastic in welcoming independence day.
Many young people are also hanging out on the side of the road while exchanging stories with friends, or just joking. There are also those who bring musical instruments to enliven the atmosphere such as guitars, percussion instruments, ukuleles, angklung, and others.
I wonder if there will be a carnival march tomorrow or not. One thing I immediately thought of when I remembered the carnival was Ruben. Ruben will definitely invite me and Ahsan to watch the carnival. Things that are lively like this carnival must be very interesting Ruben who does look very fond of the crowded atmosphere.
Honestly, I don't really like watching carnivals. I was invited several times by my father to watch the carnival as a child, but I never really enjoyed it. More precisely, I don't know how to enjoy the carnival, or maybe I just feel uncomfortable just being in such a crowded place in broad daylight? I don't know. Maybe, if there's a carnival tomorrow and Ruben invites me, I'll just turn it down this time.
I don't think I'll be at his house soon. Just one more turn.
I finally arrived. It seemed, Ahsan had also arrived, visible from her shoes outside.
I knocked on the door and called Ruben's name. Just twice a knock and one call, Ruben has answered and immediately opened the door.
"Well you lost to Ahsan, Ahsan has been here since before" Ruben said as he opened the door.
"Ah sorry, I was a little daydreaming in the street," I said.
"Hahaha it's okay, don't take it too seriously" Ruben said
"Okay, oiya here I brought some snacks," I said as I took some snacks that I put in the bag.
"Well, even though you're slower than Ahsan, you're more useful Lang. Thank you Lang hahahaha," he said while sneering at Ahsan.
"Haaa? What the fuck is tuch?" ahsan said with his trademark accent.
"Okay, since everything has been collected, let's first have dinner before fighting all night" Ruben said.
"By the way you've cooked Ben?" ask Ahsan.
"Wah means the food is cold dong?" ahsan protest.
"Yes of course" Ruben said casually.
"Oh my goodness, hadeuh hadeuh," Ahsan sighed.
"Calm down, just calm down. I knew you would react that way. That's why I've prepared things that won't disappoint you" Ruben said.
"Haaa? What's tuch?" asked Ahsan with his special accent.
"Although the cooking is cold, but the rice I make sure is still warm. So, take it easy hahahaha" said Ruben proudly.
"I'm sorry to ask you that" Ahsan said limply.
"Haah? Why are you so weak?" ask Ruben plain.
"Have forgotten, it's up to you" Ahsan said.
We also reached the dining table. Reuben then immediately opened the food cover that had been sitting alone on the dining table. After Ruben opened it, it turned out that today's dinner menu was a sweet sour fried catfish.
Then we immediately sat facing the dining table that has 4 sides. We then immediately took the rice and fried catfish menu of sweet acid.
As I thought, the taste of this dish is very good. Although the melted is not warm, but the rice is still warm can make the taste more steady again. Saosnya also very taste right both sour taste and sweetness.

After finishing dinner, Ahsan and I went straight back to the living room while Ruben washed the dishes from last night's dinner. Actually, Ahsan and I had offered to help her wash, but she refused.
"There has been an announcement from brother Jo in the extracurricular group Sepak Boal" Ahsan said while looking at his mobile screen.
"really? What's it say?" ask me who is not holding a cell phone.
"Say tomorrow training at 15:30 on the school field as usual" said Ahsan who was still looking at his phone screen.
"Oh okay," I said briefly.
"Oiya by the way you were very excited when asked the same brother Jo in the cafeteria. Have you started getting interested in Lang Football?" ask Ahsan.
"After I read the book about Football, the news, and also watched some Football matches on TV, I somehow became interested in Football. Maybe not only interested, but rather is very interested," I explained.
"Wah cool hahahaha. Then are you going to follow this extracurricular in earnest?" ask Ahsan again.
"Yes of course. I even hope to be selected to represent the school for the upcoming race" I said with confidence.
"Hahaha if you're that kind of spirit, I can't lose my spirit either" Ahsan laughed.
After that, Ruben came and immediately invited us to play football games. As before, we played the game with a league system. We also made a bet, that the loser or the 3rd rank will cook breakfast tomorrow morning.
Ruben chose Chelsea this time, Ahsan chose Manchester City, while I chose Liverpool. In a moment, we will start the first match that brings me and Ahsan together.
