The Back To 12Y.0
Chapters 24. Thanksgiving Event (2)
Annisa was stunned by her mother's words. She had not expected her mother to prepare so much food just for her friends. Actually Annisa did not tell her mother a specific number when she said she would bring a friend home. All her mother knew was Annisa's only friend Bernadeta. So maybe her mother was very excited when she found out Annisa would bring her friends besides Bernadeta.
The girl just patted her head. This is his fault indeed, not giving detailed information, he knows his mother is the type of person who likes to guess.
"Sorry ma, Annisa just brought two friends. Bernadeta is coming soon, he's changing clothes". Annisa said that she felt guilty to her mother. Though his mother was tired of preparing all this food, which as a result will be redundant.
The look on Annisa's mother's face turned wrinkled. Looks like Annisa's mother feels that her actions make Annisa feel guilty. He approached Annisa and apologized. Arslan who saw the situation of the Mother and Child was just smiling wryly, it turns out that the fruit did fall not far from the tree. Besides their faces, their attitudes are very similar.
Arslan immediately patted Annisa's shoulder from behind, which made Annisa turn to him. Annisa's mother also looked at the teenager who was brought by Annisa to her house.
"It looks like you should be a good Class Leader today". Said Arslan who made Annisa's eyebrows rise.
"Hm? What do you mean Arslan?". Annisa asked who did not understand Arslan's words.
Arslan took the phone that was nailed to his pants, and came out of the dining room. Before that he asked Annisa and her mother to prepare some benches and tables to be close together. One table should be filled with a maximum of 5 people. Arslan immediately went out and pressed the call button to several numbers on his contact list.
After a long call Arslan went back into the restaurant, and saw the table and bench was neatly arranged. Soon he asked Annisa and her mother to occupy their seats and wait for the others to come.
"What's? You called all our classmates Arslan?". After occupying their seats, Arslan explained to Annisa that he had called all their classmates to come to Annisa's house, because there was a Thanksgiving event.
"Yes, it will be redundant if this much food will go into the trash. It would be a blessing to go to the stomach, right?". Said Arslan who laughed to see Annisa and her mother who was amazed to see Arslan who was deft in taking solutions.
"Ah, Arslan's nickname is yes. Thank you, for helping me and Annisa". Mother Annisa said.
"It's okay aunt, this is not a help anyway, I only invite classmates". Arslan replied in a polite tone.
His mother looked carefully at Arslan. "Tante did not expect, it turns out Annisa was smart to choose a boyfriend". Said his mother who laughed. Arslan and Annisa immediately coughed at hearing her mother say that.
Annisa soon overcame her mother's words. "Mother! What the hell are you talking about? Don't be weird! Arslan it's just Anis ma'am!". His words that look upset with the attitude of his mother who spoke carelessly.
"eits, who knows? Girls like that guy can never be friends like cocoons. There will be mutual love, finally dating. Amen". His mother said that the return made the two of them shocked. Annisa could only sigh at her mother's behavior, while Arslan only laughed a little at her cheerful mother.
But when he saw the Mother and Child arguing, Arslan's smile suddenly returned invisible. His face was flat when he noticed the two of them. I don't know what he's thinking right now.
After 15 minutes they sat, talked, and waited, a girl with a rather dense body, with a sweet face entering the restaurant, was Bernadeta.
Annisa immediately ran to Bernadeta when she found out that the girl was the first to come. A few minutes later followed by 2 teenage boys, Yosi and Yeri. Tino, John, and Deborah came after him, and one by one of Annisa's classmates came and made a restaurant that had been quiet now very crowded with the atmosphere of Middle School children who were joking.
"Hey Arslan…"
Amidst his daydreams, Aarslan was startled by the voice of someone calling out to him. He is Yeri, who sits opposite Arslan.
"Hey yer, what's wrong?"
"Em, Yosi and I have done the job you asked. Well, although this is a bit long. I have to think of the right situation to talk to my family"
"It's okay Jer". Arslan told Yeri.
"I've also spoken to my cousin Arslan's brother". Yosi added.
"Then, how did it go?". Ask Arslan to Yosi.
"Said my brother, forget about it by reducing the price by thirty percent. He wants to see you in person". Answer Yosi.
Yeri also directly chimed in. "My brother wants to see you too Arslan. He's very curious about the future of the business you're talking about"
"Yes my sister said that too. He wants to see you this weekend, do you have time?". Sahut Yosi added.
Arslan only smiled and gulped down the water in front of him, occasionally putting flour shrimp in his mouth. He chewed it slowly, looked at Yosi and Yeri, then said, "Alright, meet me later this weekend with your sister here. I'll explain how the business will work and make a big profit later".
Yeri and Yosi who heard that seemed excited. They did not expect to be part of the project that Arslan would be working on. They can only hope that in the future they will continue to work and become friends with Arslan.
Annisa who was sitting next to Arslan and accidentally eavesdropped on their conversation from the side, was very curious and ventured to ask Arslan.
"Arslan, do you want to open a business?". Ask a plain Annisa while sucking her orange juice.
"Umm, you could say so". Reply to Arslan who smiled.
"What's Arslan doing? Are you not given pocket money? You're still smp, it's not time to think about it". Annisa said that looked very worried.
"Make what?". Arslan scratched his chin, like he was thinking about something. "Make the same marriage possible?"
At once the whole atmosphere in the restaurant was silent, and all the 1C graders looked at Arslan with their mouths wide open.
