See You Tonight

Chapter 95: The Decision

Saturday, September 3, I plan to go see Cindy at her grandmother's store to return the book I borrowed the other day. I sent Cindy a message earlier to ask her if she was in the store on Saturday or not. He replied that he would be in the store all day helping his grandmother.

This morning, at about 9, I left my house to go to the bookstore to meet Cindy. Today's weather is a little cloudy, but I don't know if it's going to rain or not. The weather forecast says that the likelihood that it will rain today is about 20.

I was wearing the black hoodie I used to travel with and was paired with long black jeans. Not to forget the sneakers are also black with white strap. I don't know why I like black so much.

Although a bit cloudy, but the atmosphere of the streets this morning is quite crowded. There are a lot of people going through this time.

Finally, I arrived at the bookstore. I went straight into the store to see Cindy. It didn't take long, as soon as I opened the door and entered the shop, I, I could immediately see Cindy who seemed to be tidying up the books that had changed position because it had been taken by customers but not so bought.

I walked over to him and gave him the book I borrowed the other day, "Thank you Cin."

"Eh Galang, have you finished reading it?" Cindy turned towards me.

"Yes, the book is cool. I was like wandering in the past when I read that book," I replied.

"I also feel like it, want to have some tea first?" ask Cindy.

"Engga, don't bother Cin. My song is also just for a moment" I replied.

As Cindy and I chatted, one more customer came into the store. When I turned around to see the new customer, I was surprised, it turned out that the new customer was Risal.

For a moment I was thinking about tomorrow's poetry race. Risal still did not answer me clearly whether he wanted to come or not. To be honest, I always thought about it, but Ruben always told me not to think too much about it because he thought Risal would definitely want to take the poetry race.

The newly arrived Risal is now seen directly walking towards the shelf containing Japanese comics. He also looks to start looking at the comics he will buy.

Cindy and I then came to Risal who looked so focused on checking the comics he would buy.

"Eh Risal" said Cindy.

Risal then looked back, "Eh you guys, hello" replied flatly.

"You've been here a lot Sal?" this time it was my turn to speak.

"That's it, I just happened to be passing around here. Because remember there is a comic that I want to buy, I so stop by this store, "he replied.

"Oh so, oiya by the way you're going to take part in a poetry competition or not?" ask me.

"When did you tell me?" the answer.

"Yes, that time," I said.

"I told Ayu that I wanted to join the poetry race yesterday. Did Ayu not say?" answer Risal who turned out to have agreed and willing to follow the poetry race.

"Eh has confirmed? I'm sorry, I guess you still haven't decided. Well thanks a lot Sal already wanted to join the poetry race," said I who felt surprised because Risal had confirmed to Ayu.

"thank you? Wh-wh-what for? I haven't done anything yet" he said.

"As far as you go" Risal looked back at the comics he was choosing.

"Oiya, by the way you know that the owner of this bookstore is Cindy's grandmother?" ask me.

"Eh really? I just found out that. Wow very cool if you are Cin. Can read various things easily," said Risal.

"That's it, too, are these books for sale so I can't at will unseal the book and just read it. Anyway, I just moved here a while ago, too," Cindy said.

"Yes, too," said Risal who looks still busy choosing comics.

"Oiya Sal, you didn't attend the class meeting. If you know, why don't you come?" ask Cindy curious.

"No papa, I'm just busy, so I can't go to that meeting. I'm sorry if it bothers you" said Risal.

"Engga, really. If it is busy, it is better not to attend the meeting" replied Cindy.

Now Risal seems to have decided to buy which comic. He was seen to have taken two comics with different titles and walked straight to the cashier. After he finished paying, he immediately left this bookstore without saying a word to me and Cindy.

"Risal is quiet... He's also mysterious" Cindy said shortly after Risal left.

"Yes, but I think he has a certain reason why he tends to be quiet and closed like that" I said.

"certain reasons? For example?" ask Cindy.

"Okay, I don't know either" I replied, "Yes yes Cin. I'd like to say goodbye, too."

"Have you gone home?" ask Cindy.

"Yes, hehe," I smiled a little this time.

"Hmmm, that's it. See you later Lang," Cindy said.

"Yes" I went straight to the exit.

After I left the store, I did not return home. I don't know why I wanted to walk around for a while. In addition, I feel relieved because in the end Risal wanted to join the poetry race. I didn't think it turned out that what Ruben said was true that Risal would definitely join the poetry race.

From the bookstore, I walked to the east. I walked like I was following the wind. Sometimes I will turn right away if there is a wind that hits me. I know it's a little childish, but I really enjoy doing it.

I then looked up at the sky. The sky this morning was a bit cloudy, now it was getting cloudy again. If it continues like this, I think it will rain. I don't know.

I kept walking and followed the wind. Sometimes I turn left, sometimes I turn right, sometimes I take the straight. I enjoy every step I take right now.
