The Winter Promise
Chapter 122: Why Do You Ask Me for Permission?
“Mar, can you come with me for a minute?”
“Ok.”
After the break, Akbar invited me to go with him. I don't know what he wants to do, but I can confirm that he wants to talk to me about something. Hopefully what she wants to say is not something like her mother wanting to thank me, or anything about it.
We went to the mosque for a while to talk about it.
“So what do you want to talk to me about?”
“Do you have some kind of relationship with Yoshida Mar?”
It turned out to be what he wanted to talk about, but there was a collision once that asked me about my relationship with Yoshida. Usually most people ask about my relationship with Miyuki.
“What's wrong?”
“Akalu to say it.”
I think I know what he wants to say next.
“Tell me!”
“Actually I like Yoshida.”
I finally found that the second person did not like Miyuki in this school. Akbar never asked me much about Miyuki, unlike my other classmates.
“Then why should you call me to say that?”
“How to say yes?... Because I saw you two seem very close. If you two really had a relationship, I'd back off.”
Oi-oi-oi... Is that how quickly you give up on your love journey? This was completely different from the people I met a lot. Usually they will try it first, then when it fails they undo the intention.
“Then Yoshida did give me a letter.”
“Really!? What letter did he give you?”
Do I have to tell him? I'm afraid that if I say it later he's more and more pessimistic about his love. But if I don't say it, I'm afraid someone will say this to Akbar.
I better just tell him.
“She gave me a love letter and until now the letter is still kept in my house.”
Actually I'm not good at throwing out that letter either.
“What answer did you give him back then Mar?”
“At that time I did not answer a letter from him because when I wanted to answer him he just left. When I wanted to answer him at SMK, he said he didn't need that answer.”
But I agree with the decision taken by Yoshida. If I had replied back then, I wouldn't know if our relationship could be what it is now.
“You have no problem with that?”
“No, anyway at the moment I don't intend to date anyone.”
“Even if you are surrounded by beautiful women?”
“Iya.”
If I really wanted to date, I couldn't possibly reject Rina's declaration of love. Surely at that time I had accepted it and until now we had become lovers, but somehow I was not so interested in it.
“You don't matter if I intend to approach Yoshida?”
Akbar asked me for permission.
“Do I make a problem with that? In fact I'm glad if anyone wants to get close to Yoshida, I'll help you so you can get close.”
“Why is that so Mar?”
“I feel pity if he keeps going like this.”
Although Yoshida did not want to listen to the answer to his statement at that time, but I am sure that he is still waiting for it until now. Maybe he still hopes I'll take it.
Well, actually it could be, but I don't know when it's time to date someone.
“Then I will not hesitate to approach Yoshida.”
Why should he be glaring at me?
“Fight.”
I gave a little boost to Akbar.
“Oh yes Mar, there is another one I want to ask you.”
“What is it?”
“Why did you hide your post from me?”
I knew he would find out quickly. I'd better pretend like I don't understand.
“Means?”
“I was told by a senior on my part that you are one of the superiors there.”
“Actually I have no intention to hide it either, but I also do not intend to tell people.”
Because it's very troublesome.
“Have you been working there a long time Mar?”
“I've been working since the company was founded.”
“It's great that you at your young age have become a boss in such a big office.”
“Have it been, than you praise me better we go to class immediately. Soon the next lesson will begin.”
Fortunately I had good reason to break away from this conversation.
I'm not one to be praised too much. Let alone overdo it, I was praised as usual already made me a little uncomfortable. Maybe because when I was a kid I was happy to get compliments after doing something, so when I grew up I was a little bored of it.
Akbar and I went straight to class.
“What today are you going to Mar's office?”
“Iya, today Mr. Hari wants to hold a meeting so I have to come there.”
It's been a long time Mr. Hari has not held a meeting. The last time he had a meeting was when I was on vacation.
“If today I don't go to the office.”
“You've got a laptop from the office?”
“Already, I got it three days after I worked there.”
It turned out that he had actually gotten it three days.
I used to object to Mr. Hari's decision to give free laptops to interns who didn't have laptops as a reward for working there, because it's a waste of money.
I also heard from Mr. Malik that for interns who already have a laptop and do not want a laptop, they will get bonus money at the end of their work which amount is almost the same as the price of a given laptop.
When I heard about it, I wanted to negotiate this matter to Mr. Hari so that he would think about it again. But when I heard about the company's income from the finance department while I was asking for the budget report for the comic contract, I felt it was okay to share such money as a gift.
“By the way how is your mother now?”
“Alhamdullilah he is good, now we live together even though still hitchhiking at uncle's house.”
“Thank God then.”
Doing that kindness turned out to be good as well, so I remembered the material that Ustadz Adi gave me when filling in the material when I was excreted.
He said that we should not always expect the material when helping people, because every good we do God willing will be rewarded with a reward. The material we get when we help people, just think of it as focus. It is our heart to help the person because of God, not his reward.
Now I understand what that means.
“If I have earned money from my salary from the office later, I will go from my uncle's house and rent a contract for us to stay, it's not nice if we stay together continue.”
“If you really need extra money, you can tell me Bar.”
Since I earned extra money from solving this case, my money would definitely increase. Although I want to buy a camera with that money, but I still have other savings to buy it if the money is less.
Remember, helping people is a good thing.
“Thank you Mar, I'll ask for your help if it's necessary. But for now, I want to fight with my own strength.”
“How did you respond after a few days working at Comic Universe?”
“How is it?... Working there is not as hard as my old job. I also spend more time at home because my work can be done at home when I already have a laptop.”
Good testimony, I hope all employees feel the same way.
I don't know if employees can do work from home or not. But to my knowledge during my time working there, many employees prefer to work in the office because they get food and transpot money. If they work at home, they don't get all that.
“If there is something you want to ask about your work, you can ask Riki and the others.”
“Of course, I always ask them if I have any problems.”
“No, he is a good teacher.”
An impatient person like him could teach people as well. Is that an effect because every day he has to help his sister to do PR? It could have been.
When the two of us got to the classroom, the teacher who taught the next lesson had not yet arrived there and I had already seen Riki who was in his chair.
“What have you two just talked about?”
Riki was curious about it. He asked me when I was just sitting in my chair.
“We only talk about work.”
“Oh so, did you go to Mar's office today?”
“Iya, I'm there.”
“Today I also went to the office.”
“For what?”
“Down, my senior told me to come to the office. Said there was an extra job he wanted to explain to me.”
Additional work? Does this have anything to do with the meeting I'm going to discuss with Mr. Day?
“Hmmm..”
“Mar, what was discussed when the break was true?”
Natasha was still curious about the conversation while taking a break.
A break? Oh, maybe what he meant about Akbar's case.
“Yup, that's right.”
“What were you doing back then?”
“Amar almost killed people that time.”
Riki said that very easily and made Natasha and Kichida surprised after hearing that.
“Why are you surprised? Didn't Riki already tell it when the break was.”
“Not so Mar, back then he didn't tell me when you wanted to kill people.”
“If you see the action of Amar at that time, you will definitely say that Amar is very cool. He held a knife in his right hand and with a sharp gaze he pointed the knife at the thief's neck.”
Riki recounted that with a little dramatization and a little recall of the events of that time.
“Indeed you weren't scared when you did that Mar? It should be for people your age, it's really scary.”
“I was so scared, even after that my hand shook and didn't want to stop.”
At that moment my legs became limp and not strong enough to stand.
Then the teacher who taught the next lesson came in and the lesson began.
After the dzuhur prayer, as usual I lay in the mosque to rest and there was Maul who was resting with me.
“What are you doing here Mul?”
“Of course to rest also.”
We both stared at the white roof of the mosque.
“What about that letter you got from Akbar's mother? Did you know anything new?”
“From yesterday I tried to access the web page that was in the letter, but the webpage was deleted. Then I tried to restore the web, but the security of the web was very tight.”
Just this time I heard Maul complaining about something related to hacking.
“Can you access it?”
“I'm trying to open it.”
“You told this to your father?”
“Not yet, I'll tell him when I already know what the content of the web is.”
I'm also curious about the contents of the web, maybe on the web we can know where they held the auction.
“Hopefully just a strong hint from there.”
Because if this case is done a lot of people are happy about this.
Yesterday I went to angkringan with Riki and I interviewed the angkringan seller a little bit about his current income.
According to him, at this time his income is not good because rarely there are people who go out at night at times like this.
“I wonder why they sent the letter to his mother Akbar.”
“Perhaps because they know that Akbar's mother is in need of money, so they send the letter.”
“Then where do they know that his mother Akbar is in need of money?”
Right too, where did they know that.
“If you think how do Mul?”
“Hmm... Maybe they work with a great hacker and they wiretap people like his mother Akbar with certain criteria.”
I don't really understand what Maul meant, but I can draw the conclusion that they work with great hackers.
“It could be like that.”
“This is dangerous once!”
Maul felt something was wrong.
“Why?”
“If indeed they cooperate with expert hackers, surely I will be their target for trying to break into the system they create.”
“What is a problem?”
“Not really, I can finish this without being noticed by that person. I'm sure I'm better than them.”
Self-confidence in Maul also appears. If he's that confident, I don't have to worry about him anymore.
“You can do just that?”
“Of course, I'm used to doing this. As long as I focus on what I'm doing and don't make a few mistakes. No one will be able to trace my whereabouts.”
My friend this one turned out to be great too... For his self-confidence.
“I don't know about Cyber War.”
“More or less like the game you've played in my house.”
Oh like that, then that's great! Sometimes I want to see it.
“What if at the web address there is a ticket sale to enter the auction?”
I asked Maul, I want to hear a response from her.
“It will make it easier for me to find out the location of the auction. Besides of... We can easily infiltrate the show.”
Maul glanced at me because she knew what I wanted to say next.
“You know what I want to say.”
“We've been friends for more than three years Mar, at least I already know how your mind goes.”
This is the friend I like.
“But your idea was a very good idea and worth a try.”
Maul realized something.
“Why?”
“We can not access a hotel that became the auction place because there are people who try to control it, but it's different if there's someone who walks into that hotel and connects to the network inside there. I was able to hack that network easily and log in unnoticed.”
Okay, he can simply control the hotel easily if he can connect with the network at the hotel.
“I can't wait to solve this case.”
Maul looks excited.
“So is mine, friend.”
