See You Tonight
Chapter 89: Class Meeting 10-7 III
"Next for those who follow the Single Badminton Princess, does anyone want to file?" ask Ayu again.
Erni seems to raise her hand. Other than Erni, no one else raised their hands. It looks like Erni will represent us.
"Other than Erni are there any more?" tanya Ayu made sure.
No one raised their hands anymore. That means Erni will represent our class.
"If it doesn't exist, it means Erni will represent our class. Agreed?" say Ayu again.
"Agujuuu," the whole class answered compactly.
"Meaning for Mixed Doubles, Erni is also coming?" ask Ayu.
"It's not papa" answered Erni.
"Well then, the ones representing the Mixed Doubles are Ahsan, and Erni," Ayu said.
"Well now for the one who's going to take the poetry race. Here it is written that you can choose two people, male or female, free. Does anyone want to run this race?" say Ayu again.
"Aggunggg," the whole compact class appointed the famous Agung the indie boy.
"Hihihi, how great? Agreed?" ask Ayu.
"Okah hahaha," Agung agreed.
"Then one more. Does anyone want to?" ask Ayu again.
Speaking of poetry, I thought back to when Risal recited his poem in front of the class. Back then, his poetry was truly touching. Although Risal read it simply, but I think that's what makes his poetry feel so touching. I also thought about asking him to take part in this poetry contest, if no one wants to present themselves again.
"Is there?" ask Ayu again.
Since no one had raised their hand yet, I raised my hand to propose Risal to take part in this poetry contest.
"Yes Galang. Do you want to do some poetry?" ask Ayu.
"No, no. I just want to propose" I replied.
"Whose nose is Lang?" ask Ayu.
"I want to propose Risal to take part in a poetry race, how?" say me.
"Risal? But Risal is not here. We don't know if he wants it or not" Ayu said.
"If it's a problem, I'll tell Risal. I don't know why I think Risal would be so good to take part in this poetry contest, how?" say me.
"How guys? Does anyone disagree with Galang's proposal?" ask Ayu.
No one showed any disagreement. It seems, everyone agrees with my proposal.
"If it does agree, it means that represents the Great Poetry race as Risal well. Oiya Lang, you're going to tell Risal that it's a matter of participating in this poetry race?" said Ayu.
"Yes. I'll talk to him" I replied.
"Alright, it means now we go to the next race, which is the short story writing competition. Is anyone interested in this short story race? Each class represents at least one person and a maximum of two people. Hows it? Anyone want to follow him?" said Ayu.
Cindy raised her hand.
"Yes Cindy, anything else?" ask Ayu.
No one else seemed to raise his hand.
"Come on... Is there anything else? If there's not one we'll send one representative or what?" ask Ayu again.
"It looks like for Cerpen we sent one representative only deh Yu. No one else intends to follow him. If forced later would be maximal also if the short story," said Aji from his desk.
Now I have to tell Risal immediately that he was chosen for the poetry race. To be honest, I still hadn't thought about what to tell her through. Do I have to see him in person or can I call him? I don't know. For now I really don't know.
"Oi Lang let's meet Risal," said Ruben approaching me from behind.
"Eh why?" ask me a little wonder.
"Of course to tell him that he was chosen to take part in the poetry race right? Why ask 'why'. You suggested it yourself" said Ruben.
"She is, but do we have to tell him now?" ask me.
"Yes of course. Faster better, come on!!" Ruben pulled me.
"You're going to San too?" ask me who is now standing because Ruben pulled just now.
"Sorry Lang. I have business at home, so I can't come this time" Ahsan said.
"Haaa? What's your business? It's so busy" Ruben murmured.
"Whisper you. It's none of your business either" Ahsan stepped away leaving us.
"Woiii, answer my question first" murmured Ruben again.
"We both don't have papa. To be honest, I still do not know whether Risal wants to participate in a poetry competition or not" I said.
"We'll never know if we don't try it" Ruben smiled slightly.
"Yes already then. About Risal still working in the store isn't it?" ask me.
"Yes, still," Ruben still smiled.
"Why are you so sure?" ask me.
"Of course it's because I see him every day" Ruben said.
"Eh every Day? Meaning every day you visit that store?" ask me surprised.
"It's not every day either hehehe, but I just met him last night. Honestly, I also wanted to recommend Risal to participate in the poetry competition, but you already recommended him first" said Ruben.
"Oh yeah, I just found out" I said.
"Yes, let's get there right away" Ruben began walking away from class.
I followed him from behind. I really did not expect it turned out that Ruben often met with Risal. It seems like they are also quite familiar more than what I thought. I wonder, since when does Ruben often meet with Risal.
"Oiya Ben, by the way since when have you been visiting Risal so often while working?" ask me curious.
"Of course from the moment of class we played futsal at that time" Ruben said.
"You mean when you and Ahsan first met her while working in a shop?" ask me.
"Yes. After that, I often buy things in the store," said Ruben.
"That's it," again Ruben made me feel surprised. There's still so much I don't know about Reuben.
***
Since the distance of the shop and the school was quite far, we both first picked up the bike at Ruben's house. It's about 2.5 miles from here. If you walk, it will take a long time. Moreover, it was now 5pm.
I hope, Risal is willing to take part in tomorrow's poetry race. For some reason, I'm pretty sure Risal can win this poetry race. In fact, I am more convinced that the chances of Risal winning are greater than those of Agung. I know Agung is good at making poetry, but I feel there is still something less than his poetry.
