"Today feels really boring, right? " said Heni one of our friends from college came to sit with us and we all laughed.
"I feel the same way too" Wanda, another friend of ours, chuckled, "We're at a lively college party, but we're here sitting in the corner drinking cheap drinks and making sure everyone's enjoying their time."
"I don't know about it, but if I enjoy myself enough here, sit down and chat with you all" I said to them, sipping my drink.
"Yes, so am I." Karin agrees.
"Lately you and Naomi have been looking different lately Karin" Heni said.
"What do you mean?" I asked confusedly, "I know, I'm always boring, while Karin here always enjoys parties happily."
"You're right." Wanda laughed as I threw the beans at her.
"Yes, what's wrong with you two? Usually you're with Karin having fun enjoying parties but now you're alone with your shadow with us. Normally you would dance with a man, and it would be impossible to sit here like this" Heni chuckled, "Are you now a saintly person?"
"Not really, but it's not that Naomi has been a saint for a long time" Karin pointed at me with a laugh.
"Ahh you are." I playfully swung his hand.
"But you always act like that."
"I, well, I've just decided to become a more mature and responsible person now that I'm also a woman who will someday get married." Karin laughed "There are certain things I can't do here. "
"What is it, Try saying !?"
Heni and Wanda said excitedly.
"Well, as you know so far, I recently dated a guy and I'm serious this time. So there's a certain behavior that I can't show anymore because I'm sure he won't like it and I don't want to take risks and mess things up, so I really wanted to let go of this wild life of mine and become a saint like Naomi" Karin chuckled.
"Oh so!"
A few days later...
"I'm having a bad thing today" I told David over the phone as I lay in bed.
"Why can?" Ask David.
"Well, I had a test today and I wasn't quite ready and other than that my head hurt and I could barely concentrate. I'm sure I didn't get a good grade this time," I told him "And for a moment I felt sad."
"Darling, are you okay now? Is your head still hurting?" David asked me.
"It's okay, now I'm fine. I've taken two ibuprofen tablets" I replied.
"Oh, well that's good. I'm glad you feel better. Rest assured that even if you are not doing well, you are doing your best." David encourages "Don't stress, keep doing your best."
"I'll do my best,"
"You have to, you just have to try to relax yourself, and don't think about anything else because stress won't do me any good" David told me.
"I know, I know I'm just disappointed with my condition today," I replied, "So, what are you doing now?"
"I was in bed lying down, talking to you, turning on the TV too but I wasn't watching it, I was just focusing on your beautiful voice" David told me making me smile. "What about you? "
"Sama," I said, "it's become my routine at night."
"Before I met you, I used to just work late and go home," David told me, "I don't have much to do after I get home, uhh how boring I am."
"Looks like you need a friend" I chuckled.
"Are you offering yourself?" David asked, "By the way, I want to ask you something."
"What?" I asked curiously.
"What do you mean at that time, you said that you wanted to come to my place on Friday night and you wanted me to cook something for you?" David's question surprised me.
"Your place?"
"Yes my home, but don't worry it's not a ploy to take you to my place so I can fuck you or whatever it is..."
"No, I know. It's just, I don't know where you live" I replied.
"Hehe's sorry, I know it's a little weird, we've been dating for a long time but until now you haven't even known where I live" David told me, "I think it would be fair if you knew where I lived just as much as how I knew where you lived. Maybe I can pick you up instead of you driving alone."
"It's okay for me to go there by yourself, as long as you share your location," I told him, "In addition, the car you gave me has a GPS navigator, remember?"
"You also said you'd cook dinner for me?" I said to him.
"Yes"
"How great are you, my chef?" I asked chuckling.
"Well, I'm not going to brag about how good I cook and well I'm going to treat you as well" David told me.
"I will be waiting for him" I replied.
"I guarantee it will happen" David chuckled.
"All right, Chef David. See you on Friday night" I smiled.
Bend day..
On Campus..
"Hey friends, have you all heard that we will practice teaching for three more weeks in the coming year?" Carlota, one of our classmates asked as she stopped by our table where Karin, Heni and I were having lunch at the Canteen.
"Yes, I've heard it," Hilary replied, "Wait a minute, really?"
"I don't know, I heard it myself, so I asked you if I was the only one who heard this news. " Carlota answered.
"Seriously? Why do we have to practice teaching again, have we not done it 6 times in the last week," Karin frowned.
"Yes, what's the point of doing that again?" I said with concern.
"I'll ask the Lecturer," said Heni standing up.
"I really want to know if it's true or not, if it's true I have a week before the new year's holiday to mentally prepare myself for the task once again," I said to them.
"Are you going to see him now?" Carlota asked Heni while collecting his books from the table.
"Yes, he should be in his office by now," Heni looked at his watch then he picked up his books, "I want to discuss them before the next lecture. After all, I should still discuss the final assignment with him."
"OK, wait. I'll come with you" Carlota stood up and turned to us, "Till a friend."
"See you later" said Heni.
"Yes, let us know what you know" I said.
"OK," he nodded before he and Carlota left.
"I can't wait to finish college" said Karin. "I swear I've had enough stress to deal with the lesson."
"I can't wait any longer either," I replied, "When we've jumped into the workforce, high school kids will be at the root of all our stress."
"I don't even want to think about that. I might just quit college from now on and get a rich Sugar Daddy to take care of me," Karin said before laughing, "Oh, wait, I already have one".
"You're really crazy," I laughed shaking my head at him.
"By the way about Sugar Daddy. I just remembered, I bought you a little present," Karin grinned before digging into her bag, "Sorry, I just stuffed it in my bag so it's a little tangled and crushed."
"A little bit?" I chuckled at the crumpled little shopping bag Karin gave me, "What did you buy and what is this?"
"Take this as a gift for a thank you. I thought you'd like it," Kari grinned as I opened the bag, "Don't pull it out, okay."
"Today, what did you give this to me. Oh God. Seriously?" I chuckled in disbelief before looking at her, "Today, you bought me some underwear? Do you know how embarrassing this is?"
"No, it's not that. So then? Whaddya think? Do you like it?" Karin grinned, "You said you were going to David's place for dinner tomorrow, right? I thought this would be so good for this opportunity."
"What opportunity? I'm just going to dinner" I said staring at the underwear and back at Karin's face pretending to be confused.
"Dasarr, don't pretend to be stupid. You must know exactly what I mean." Karin glared at me for a while before becoming excited again "You're going to go to your boyfriend's house for dinner, and I'm sure there's only the two of you there. Don't tell me it's just dinner. Dinner never really ends with dinner alone."
"O Lord Karin, you're this." I shook my head at him.
"I think you already know that. And you know I know Naomi right, so why don't you just accept my gift with pleasure" Karin replied. "I know you've got sexy underwear, but it doesn't matter if you wear a little sexy lingerie for the occasion. You know, there's more to it than just dinner."
"You're not a good friend, you should warn me like a parent who forbids their teenage daughters to stay away from it." I rolled my eyes at her before giving her a smile "But thank you Karin, for the gift."
