See You Tonight
Chapter 78: Coming to Ruben



After finishing saying the word to Cindy, Ayu suddenly got up from her seat and said, "Friends, because it's 09:50 and Ruben hasn't come yet, let's just go to his house. It just so happens that his house is near this area. How's it?"


"Agreed," answered the other children who already looked bad mood.


We all walked to his house. Because the only one who knows his house is me, so I walk in the front row. Somehow it feels quite fun to walk with friends like this, it feels like we are getting closer. Unfortunately, we are still lacking three people namely Ahsan, Ruben, and Risal.


If Risal maybe I already know why he didn't come. It could be that he was not invited by Ruben because Ruben already knew that Risal might be busy working in the store. Or it could be that Ruben still invited him, but Risal could not come.


Precisely the most big question now is the absence of Reuben. The loser himself. It feels very strange that the person who invites to an event but he himself is late or even absent to the event. If Ahsan I don't understand either. Maybe he was with Reuben, maybe he was not present, or maybe he was not invited by Reuben. I don't know, maybe soon we'll find out by heading to Reuben's house.

Finally, it was not until 5 minutes that we arrived in front of Ruben's house. As usual, Ruben's house always looks lonely. We still don't know whether Reuben is at home or not.


Aji then began to hit the front door of the house Ruben quite hard. Tok tok, the sound of the door knock. Not to forget, Aji also called out the name Ruben.


After a long time and no answer, we began to feel confused, whether Ruben was in his house or not. If he is not at home, it means we are all better to go home soon. However, if it is like that, it feels a bit uncomfortable. In fact, not a few are far from home from school. If you go home without doing anything, it feels very unfortunate.


"Well, what did Ruben answer. Is she not home anymore?" said Aji.


"Try here I'm the one who's excited," said Wita with a very serious face.


"RUBENNNN'S... REUBENN... RUBENNN.." cried Wita very loudly.


Just three times Wita called Ruben, suddenly there was a voice coming from inside the house. It was Ruben's voice.


Not long after, Ruben opened the front door of his house. It turned out to be true, that voice was his voice.


"Who was yelling?" Ruben came out with a sleepy face and his disheveled hair typical of new people waking up from his sleep.


"YOU'RE SLEEPING, BEN?" said Wita with Bataknya. His voice is really firm.


Ruben only smiled wryly at the corrupting question from Wita. His face had now turned to a blank.


"WHEN YOU'RE WELL, WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU. APPARENTLY EVEN YOU ARE AGAIN PLEASANT BECAUSE OF SLEEP APPARENTLY," said Wita again who is still explosive.


"Hehehe was Wita. We have an explanation from Reuben. So, you still want Ben about the 09:30 meeting in front of the class?" tanya Ayu mediates.


"Yes of course I remember hehe, but... Sorii... I fell asleep earlier... Sorii friends," Ruben closed his eyes and bent his body almost 90 degrees forward.


Those of us who saw Ruben do such a thing were quite surprised. We didn't expect Ruben would do such a thing to apologize to us.


"I'm really sorry, guys... I actually fell asleep." he said again who was still bending over it.


"Yes, it's Ben, it's hard to bend like that. So, can you explain why you invited us all like this?" said Aji while walking up to him.


Ruben's house was indeed quite spacious, so it seemed like we could all enter simultaneously into his house. I then directed them to a fairly large central room. In the room, there are chairs, and carpets for lesehan. I then free them to sit on a chair or directly on the carpet. After that, I headed straight for Ruben who was in the kitchen making us all drink.

"Is there anything I can do to help Ben?" ask me.


"Wahhh, really Lang, you want to help?" tanyakanya.


"Yes, of course" I replied.


"Thank you very much Langgg... You are a good boy. Then, can you prepare a glass for all of us? The glass is in the cupboard next door" said Ruben, who was seen making a dose of syrup into the teapot.


"Okee," answered me, who went straight to the cupboard and began to pick up the glass.


Shortly after, Aji came to us and said, "Can I help you?"


"Thank you very much Jiii... You are a good boy" said Ruben, just as he told me.


"So, what can I do for you?" ask again .


"Here, please help me bring these teapots to the front" Ruben said.


"Okay," replied Aji.


Aji and Ruben then headed straight ahead with 4 teapots at once. They took him in trays. Each of them brought 2 teapots.


Meanwhile, I was still counting the number of glasses I had taken. If not wrong, the number is 21. To make sure, I counted it back.


"You can bring all that Lang?" suddenly Ruben came directly asking.


After I finished counting, I replied, "It may be difficult to bring all these glasses together. It's easier if we split the two, "I answer.


"Okeee," he answered.


***


After all the glasses had reached the middle room, Ruben, Aji, me, and Ayu began to pour the syrup that had been in the teapot into the empty glass earlier. In order to be faster then the four of us did it simultaneously, it happened that the number of tekonya was also 4.


After all the glasses filled with syrup, we began to sit tight while waiting for an explanation from Ruben about why he invited us all to gather at school. Reuben got up from his seat and stood up. He seemed to be getting ready to give that explanation.
