The Winter Promise
Chapter 126: At the Cafe with Miyuki
It's already night time, and the current kidnapping cases have not subsided. So I had to take Rina to her house. Although at first Rina refused because our house was close and the road in our house was quite crowded. But because I didn't want anything to happen to Rina on the way home, I forced her to take her home.
Oh right, I did this just to avoid something troublesome if anything happened to Rina later.
“Thank you Ar for driving me home and accompanying me to choose the gift earlier.”
“Iya... Then I go home first yes.”
Then from inside the house came her sister Rina who seemed to hear that Rina had come home
“Eh No Amar.”
“Night Sister Rania.”
“Have you two been dating?”
Rania's sister immediately mocked her sister.
“Sister! Already brother just enter there.”
Rina pushed Kak Rania back into the house with all her might.
“You don't want to go in first Mar?”
“No brother, I want to go straight home because there is something I want to do.”
“Oh so, then be careful on the road.”
Rina waved her small hand at me.
“Oiya, don't you want to say a word to Amar before he comes home.”
Rania's sister again mocked Rina and Rina blushed embarrassed by the teasing. Lina pulled her sister into the house.
Now it's time for me to go home and rest, tomorrow I also have to go to school and tomorrow is Monday.
While I was on my way home, my phone in my pants pocket kept shaking nonstop. At first I thought my parents were calling me because I hadn't told him to come home this late.
When I saw my phone, it turned out that the one who called me was Miyuki. I ignored the call and continued to move to the house.
But Miyuki didn't give up, she kept calling me until I picked up the call from her. Since I was a little annoyed by what he was doing, I raised his call with some emotion.
“What's up?”
“Do you have a minute Mar? There's something I want to talk to you about right now.”
“I have no time, dah.”
“Wait!”
Just before I ended the call, Miyuki stopped me. It seems like there is something he wants to talk about.
“I want to ask for an opinion on something!”
Miyuki said that in a low tone that made me think that something she wanted to talk about was quite serious, or he just pretended to make me feel pity and come to his place right now.
“Alright, I'll come to your house.”
“Really!? Don't come to my house Mar, I'm currently in a cafe near my house.”
“OK, I'm heading straight there.”
Since the distance of the three of us was not that far away, I set foot into the cafe that Miyuki was referring to. Although Miyuki did not say the name of the cafe to me, but I know which cafe I should go to because there is only one cafe around my house.
When I got there, I could already see Miyuki who was sitting waiting for me along with Misaki who was enjoying the food at the table.
I also approached them directly.
“Yo!”
I greeted Miyuki and Misaki as well. I showed a face that was not wearing to give Miyuki a sign that I wasn't there much time at the moment.
Actually, I still have a lot of time, it's just that I want to quickly go home to play games.
“Why Bang Amar is here Kak?”
Misaki was astonished by my sudden arrival.
“Your brother called me to come here.”
I still show her the face not wearing it.
“I'm sorry to interrupt your time Mar!”
Miyuki clasped her hands together and felt so guilty towards me.
I ordered drinks first and sat down with them.
“So what do you want to talk about?”
“Do you do not want to rest first Mar before getting into the conversation, or pleasantries first so.”
Right now my body is very tired because all day walking in the mall with Riki and the others. Riki also invited me to the game center which made me spend more energy there.
“My time is not much, there are other things I want to do after this.”
It's playing games.
“What is a job from Comic Universe?”
“Ya something like that.”
“I want to talk to you about the problem Kichida.” has
The cafe waiter came to bring me my drink.
“Order Mas”
The waiter put the juice I ordered in front of me.
“Thank you.”
“Tumben once you order juice.”
“I've been drinking too much coffee while at the office. So what problems does Kichida have?”
I return the conversation to the original topic.
“What before Kichida ever told you the problem Mar?”
The Kichida thing I know right now is just that his parents didn't allow him to be a comic.
“What is this matter about his parents not allowing him to become a comic?”
“Iya.”
As it turned out about the matter, I guess the matter was sorted out when I gave an input to Kichida back then. Since then, he has rarely told me the problem.
“Kichida talked about this with me in class.”
“Then what did you do then Mar? Honestly, I would love to help Kichida out of her troubles.”
“At that time, I only gave advice to Kichida and since then he has never talked about his development to me.”
I also never asked him if tomorrow I would ask him about his development.
“Hopefully your input is enough to help him out of trouble.”
“How hard was Kichida's parents when they banned him from becoming a comic?”
My curiosity finally came about because of it.
“Kichida's parents are a little harsh in setting up Kichida. From childhood Kichida always envied my mother's way of organizing me, because my mother was much more relaxed in educating me.”
When Miyuki said that, the face of Miyuki's mother who was giving the thumbs up sign appeared in my mind.
The aunt was indeed someone who had something once while talking.
“I can see it from Kichida's attitude now.”
Perhaps because of the upbringing of his parents also that makes Kichida very disciplined in many ways. He is also very detailed in doing things and never does things carelessly.
Sometimes he also panics if something does not go according to his estimates.
“My father also once advised his father Kichida not to be too hard on his son.”
“Does your father know his father Kichida?”
This time my question sounds stupid. Surely they know each other, why am I asking that question again.
“They were friends back in college.”
“So.”
It's a good thing that Miyuki didn't let me down with my question.
“Kichida really wants to be a comic, he has had that goal since childhood. There was one famous comic in Japan who inspired him.”
It is great that Kichida can hold fast to his ideals and not change at all.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be an architect because I heard from my mom that the architecture salary was so big that she worked, since then I really wanted to be an architect.
At SD, my desire to be an architect turned into a basketball athlete who played in the NBA, but because of something I broke that intention.
Continue again when Junior High, I already have no ideals and until now I also do not have any ideals.
As long as I can get money from it and the way is also halal, that is enough for me.
“It is fitting that Kichida would love to become a comic.”
“Indeed the job of a comic that heavy?”
Miyuki asked me.
“I don't know myself because I'm not a comic, but from what I saw during my contact with comics who work in the Comic Universe. It looks really heavy.”
We had to deposit the comic to us a few days before the time of publishing so we could check the content first.
In addition, every time the editors will call him to see the development of the comic.
If I were a comic, I would be depressed because every time the editor would call me.
“That's one of the reasons her parents didn't want to give Kichida permission to become a comic.”
“Difficult also if it is like that.”
I turned the straw in my drink and thought of something.
“What if this happens to you Mar?”
Miyuki asked me that.
“If I were to experience that, I would become a comic and prove to them that the work of a comic is not as bad as they think.”
“What is that thing you also said to Kichida?”
“Iya.”
Actually Kichida's problem is only one, his parents believe that the work of the comic is very stressful and tiring.
But judging from the current condition of Kichida who is a student, of course they will ban him because being a comic and also balancing it with school is very difficult.
Kichida was the one who ranked first in my class, and if he wanted to keep his grades it would have to be learned.
I can go to school while working because I don't attach much importance to the grades in my school, it's very different from Kichida who has to maintain that value.
“If there was anything I could do.”
Miyuki looks so lethargic.
“There's one thing you can do for now.”
My speech.
“What is it?”
Miyuki became excited while listening to that.
“Providing support to Kichida.”
“I will definitely always give her support Mar.”
It's great that he, although he was once hostile and I can say because Kichida this Miyuki is hostile by her schoolmates but she can still forgive him.
“At least you can stop him if he does something stupid.”
“What do you mean?”
Miyuki didn't understand that.
“Stupid things like running away from home or something.”
“Do you think that Kichida would do such a thing?”
“Maybe, considering his parents are very strict in regulating him. It must be in his mind to get out of that house and go somewhere so he can do as he wants.”
Actually that's what would happen to me if I were to get the same pressure as Kichida.
“Why can you think like that Mar?”
“That's what I do if I become Kichida.”
“Kichida it is impossible to do such a thing.”
Miyuki's still clean hard about it.
“Who knows, I only give my opinion. Possibilities can still occur and we do not know which possibilities occur.”
“After you spoke that, I became anxious about the state of Kichida.”
“Why do you need to worry? You're Kichida's mother.”
“Last-lately I saw Kichida was not happy at all.”
Really it? It seems that when in class he looks mediocre. Even when Riki was joking around with jokes that were not really funny, she kept laughing along with my other classmates. Is that just a gimick?
“I think he was mediocre when in class.”
“Maybe you don't know it, but I know very well that he's not what he used to be.”
Actually the extent of the relationship between Kichida and Miyuki.
“Are you two done talking?”
Misaki who was waiting for us to speak finally spoke as well.
“What is Misaki?”
“I want to invite you to play games together.”
Misaki showed her phone to me that there was already an open game that we often play.
“It looks like we're done right?”
I looked towards Miyuki.
“Yes we're done talking.”
“Then let's play gim.”
I also started taking out my phone and playing games with Misaki.
“Why do you always invite Amar to play games and continue Misaki?”
Miyuki slightly nagged Misaki about it.
“If I play with Bang Amar, I never lose and it's a lot of fun. I can show it off to my friends while at school.”
Yes, because the game we play is not a difficult game to play. So it's only natural that I win a lot in playing that game.
Besides, since the level of his character Misaki is far below me and his rank is far away too, that's what makes us always get a fairly easy enemy.
“Not good showing off something like that.”
Miyuki begins to lecture Misaki, but Misaki seems to not listen and ignores Miyuki's words.
“I want to look great in front of my friends so that I can be a leader in the class.”
Whoa! His attitude was almost similar to Takeshi's. Why can't they both be familiar despite having the same nature huh?
“You should also model the nature of Amar.”
“What's with Bang Amar's nature?”
Misaki became curious about it.
“Amar was never at all show off anything he had, even he was very secretive of the achievements he had.”
“Then how can others know that Amar is great?”
“He did that with the action he did.”
For the first time, I felt so happy when someone was cheering me on.
“Alright, I will model Bang Amar!”
“Do not use myself as an example Misaki, it will only make you disappointed.”
Miyuki just laughed a little while listening to my complaints.
And that night, the rain came down which made us have to wait first until the rain had subsided again.
When the rain stopped, we went to each other's homes. Since Miyuki's house was close to the cafe, I didn't have to go to take her home.
Anyway the way for us to go home has to pass through his house first.
