The Conqueror Who Conquered

The BAR

Harry and his friends seemed to be preparing. After losing to the Oberon team, they felt they had no other interest in this school.

A long haired woman found herself. Harry caught a glimpse of it. He's still putting his stuff together.

"What's wrong?" He asked coldly without looking.

"Just want to see you". The woman replied somewhat. His eyes looked at the man.

"I'll be back, our business is done". Harry held his bag. "How's your business?" Ask again.

"A-i? Another bit. You be patient." The answer is a little nervous.

"If you really like me, prove it". Harry moved on, leaving the girl bowed to herself.

Harry walked in a hurry. He suddenly remembered one thing. Then he accidentally hit the shoulder of a girl until the headset he was holding fell.

Harry, who felt guilty, swiftly picked up the object that fell to the floor. He apologized to the owner.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean it." He said, handing over the thing.

"It's okay." The girl accepted quickly. At first glance he saw, the man in front of him was the head of the Palmy basketball team.

"You all right? Is anyone hurt?" He leaned over a bit so he could see the girl's face clearly.

"none. Then excuse me". He passed because he did not want to linger facing famous men.

"Attent"

The girl's steps stopped. He turned his body.

"Can I get acquainted? I'm Harry Draw, head of the Palmy School basketball team". Harry reached out with a smile.

"Richi" he said as he welcomed Harry's hand.

Harry smiled. "Do you have time?" He asked suddenly because the girl in front of him was so sweet, he thought.

"I'm sorry I have a need". He leaned on the man while putting a headset on one of his ears. He was not at all interested in men who were too popular and spread charm. That was what he caught the first time he saw the man.

"alright. Hope to see you back". Harry said with hope.

Richi smiled faintly and passed away leaving the man alone.

"Ah, he's there. Though direct". It was like wasting a chance.

Harry squinted his eyes at Richi who was starting to move away. "Didn't Oberon like me a lot? Does he not know me?" Harry thought a little and then walked behind.

Harry was already at the front gate of Oberon school. He lost track of Richi. Then, he saw Hugo who was alone walking towards him. Hugo seemed unaware that Harry was in front of him.

"Hi Hugo's. Congratulations on your team's victory". He rebuked as Hugo began to approach. He extended his hand.

Hugo's face changed when he saw Harry in front of him.

He did not welcome Harry's hand. His right hand was still in the bag of pants, while his left hand was holding the rope of his bag that was stuck on his shoulder just like that.

"My hands are busy". Hugo answered by raising his shoulders.

Harry smiled wryly. He pulled his hand again.

Then suddenly, a girl falls on her motorcycle right next to Hugo. He grimaced holding his knee.

"Aw.." screeched when he saw his knee was injured.

Hugo helped to enforce the girl's motor. Then he reached out in front of the girl's face.

"Regulate"

The girl looked up at Hugo, then glanced at Harry who just stood up not helping.

"I think I'm a little hard to stand". He said while grimacing.

Hugo leaned over and grabbed the girl until she stood up.

"Thank you, yeah. It's a good thing you helped me. You're Hugo, right? I'm Carina from next door to your class". He said with a friendly smile.

Hugo simply nodded with his flat expression.

"It doesn't have to be like that". Hugo refused.

"No, don't be. I'm very grateful. How about tonight". Said offering.

"No, you be careful next time". Hugo then moved.

"Wait, oh" Carina who wanted to chase, almost fell because her legs were not so strong walking.

Hugo turned around, then the girl confirmed her position to stand perfectly.

"Again. As a sign of my gratitude. I'll wait at the Lunch Bar at 7pm tonight. I hope you're coming." He said with a hopeful face. Hugo nodded slowly and left the girl and Harry still there.

🍷🍷🍷🍷

Hugo was already standing in front of the Lunch Bar just like the girl had said earlier this afternoon. In his mind, he would only stop by for about half an hour.

He glanced at the watch in his hand. It was seven, but he had not entered. Sometimes he was teased by women who went back and forth near him.

Shortly, he stepped inside. From afar she saw Carina waving her hand. He also headed to the table that Carina occupied.

"What do you want, Hugo?" Carina asked as Hugo was already sitting before her. He looks very handsome with a black leather jacket.

"Any origin is not alcohol".

Carina raised her hand half high. "Sunrise Mocktail" His message to the bar waiter as it approached then nodded and left.

Carina looked at Hugo. "Are you having another appointment?" He asked when he saw Hugo glancing at his watch.

"Yes, in a minute." Answer's relaxed.

Carina stirred her drink with a straw. "You're so nice, Hugo. You helped a lot of people. Your friend just kept quiet". Carina.

"He's not my friend". He quickly told the girl.

Before long, the bar clerk came with a tray filled with drinks ordered by Carina.

"Please, Master". Said and left.

Hugo downed his drink calmly. They stay quiet long enough.

"I heard you're going to continue your education in Z country. Is true?" Ask pleasantries so as not to be awkward.

"Yes, it could be so". Lazy answer. Then he blinked a few times.

"What's up, Hugo?" Carina looked at Hugo like he was not calm.

"I'll go to the toilet first". Hugo stood up and passed towards the toilet. Carina just looked at him in wonder.

He opened his phone and typed there. "How, huh?" Carina muttered as she thought of something.

Hugo returned on an unstable path.

"Hugo, what's wrong with you?" Carina stood holding Hugo who was like he was about to fall.

"Eitherway. Did you order alcohol?" Ask with a stumble.

"No. You heard, I ordered a mocktail for you" he said, then picked up Hugo. "Come, I'll take you to the cab".

"I'm taking the car". Say it while glancing. His eyes are a little blurry.

"There's no way you're driving. Let me get you a cab up front. Come". Carina then grabbed Hugo while walking towards the door.

Carina walked slowly because she could not hold Hugo's heavy body. With a shock he tried to bring Hugo all the way across the Bar.

"Need help, Miss?" Someone offered to help from behind her body.

"No, thank you". He answered without looking at her with a stifled voice.

He continued walking away until he reached the opposite bar and sat Hugo in a long chair. Hugo looked drowned. His eyes are a little open. But he can't do anything.
