See You Tonight

Chapter 77: The Candramawa

"Yes not papa Lang, for you have not stepped on the puddle. Tumben you daydream so, what's up?" ask Cindy.

"Grandfather hehe. I just thought of something" answered me, trying to hide what I was thinking.

Cindy and I continued on our way to school. We'll be there soon. I'm so curious about who was invited by Ruben to come?

At 09:20, we finally arrived in front of our locked class. It seems Ayu, Aji, and Renaldi have arrived here first. They seemed to be sitting on the classroom terrace because of the locked room. Because it's a holiday, so the school clerk locked every room in the school, including our classroom door.

Cindy and I walked up to them and sat down next to them.

"Will Cindy tumben same Galang together, lest you guys date well? Hihihi," said Ayu with a fairly wide smile.

"Thank you, we're not dating. It just so happened that Galang passed in front of my grandmother's shop. So, all of us go together," explained Cindy with a face that looks quite panicked.

"Mmmm really just a coincidence? Maybe not deliberate? Hahahaha," now it's Aji's turn to come and bully us.

Hearing that, inexplicably made Cindy blush a bit. Her cheeks also look red.

"It was just a coincidence. Oiya, by the way you guys are here because Ruben invited too?" I'm trying to shift the subject.

"Yes," Aji and Ayu replied simultaneously. Meanwhile, Renaldi just kept silent while looking at the plant in front of him.

"Do you know why Reuben invited us here?" ask me again.

"Ga know, when I asked him that, he said he would be clear right here," replied Aji.

Shortly thereafter, students began arriving one by one. Now, I'm sure that all Ruben invited were all 10-7th graders. The question now is what we are invited to do.

At 09.30 exactly, all students in grade 10-7 had gathered except Ruben, Ahsan and of course Risal. We begin to wonder, "Where is Reuben, the man who made us gather here this morning? Why isn't he coming?"

"Was Ruben where the hell? Why haven't you come yet? He's the one who let us here, why isn't he the one who hasn't come?" WITA grumbled up from her seat while putting both her hands on each side of her left and right waist.

"Yes, the time has not yet come" said Aji.

"Try the phone" suggested Ayu.

"It's a good idea, okay I'll try to call the guy," Aji then starts picking up HP and calling Ruben.

On the first call, Aji's call was not answered by Ruben. The second one is also not raised, until the fifth call remains unanswered.

"Wouldn't answer, how?" Aji looks a little confused.

"We've been waiting until 10 o'clock at least 10. If you do not come too, mending us samperin aja his home. He said it's Deket's house, right?" ayu Proposal.

"Boleh," said Risa.

"Ih but why the hell even Ruben who has not come. I'm really sprained dehhh," grumbled Wita with a face that did show annoyance.

"Ihhhhh really like Ruben," replied Wita with a wry face.

We waited for Ruben until 09:50. If he doesn't come yet, we'll come to his house in a crowd. Many are waiting while holding their smart phones, some are talking to each other, some are silent while looking at the surrounding scenery, and others.

Of the many people, my attention to this foot is very focused on one girl who sits down and reads a small book, pocket-sized that is quite thick. The title of the book is "Candramawa".

I don't really understand what Candramawa means. I'm also not sure if Candramawa is Indonesian or not. At first glance, Candramawa sounds like a vocabulary from an ancient language or something.

Because I was curious enough, I then slowly headed towards the girl who was reading the book. The girl's name is Cindy. Cindy was the girl who was reading the book. I wasn't surprised enough to see her reading a book, because I'd seen her reading a book alone in the park back then. In addition, his grandmother was also very fond of books, so he had his own bookstore. Perhaps, Cindy's nature, declined from her grandmother.

"What book is Cin (Cin read Sin) ?" I sat next to him sitting on the floor of the terrace.

"Oh this, 'Candramawa' Lang, why?" said Cindy while looking at the black and white book cover.

"If the meaning of 'Candramawa' is you know?" ask me while looking into his eyes. For some reason when I looked into his eyes from behind his glasses, my heart was pounding a little.

"At first I didn't know what 'Candramawa' meant, either, but after I asked grandma, I came to know what it meant. Candramawa means black mixed with white" Cindy replied as she looked up at the ceiling.

"Ohhh black mixed white huh... Now it makes sense why the cover is as black as white" I said as I watched the booklet.

"Hehehe yes. You want to read Lang too?" he said with a small smile. Even though it was a small smile, but the smile looked so sweet and beautiful. The dimples on her cheeks also add to her sweetness.

"L-yes, I seem to be interested in the book," I replied while struggling. I don't know why I'm so groggy and don't dare to look into his eyes again.

"You borrow?" ask her again.

"Eh ingga, don't be Cin. I'll buy it at hehehe's shop" I replied.

"But it looks like this book is no longer for sale Lang. This I got because I borrowed a book that belonged to my grandmother that I happened to see when I looked through my grandmother's bookshelf, " replied Cindy.

"Oh yes, too bad... Yes, if I may borrow it hehehe" I said, putting on a slight smile.

"Of course you can" Cindy was seen closing her book and shoving it at me.

"Eh, just Cin. After you have finished reading it," answered me, who still did not dare to look into his eyes.

"Oh so. Yes, later if I have finished reading the book, I will directly give it to you. Let me let you go to Grandma" replied Cindy.

"O-okay, thanks hehehe," I smiled again this time.
