The Winter Promise
Chapter 2: The True One!
Though at first I thought that the incident pursued by the police was the end of my problem today, but it seems I have to deal with other problems.
“What do you mean look at me like that? Want to fight!”
Riki is indeed a person who is easily provoked by his emotions, what else if it is about his self-esteem.
Should I separate them?
I looked towards Miyuki who was watching Takeshi, she looked like she wanted to stop him but she did not dare with him.
Wouldn't it be better for you to stop this than for me Miyuki, I think they'll both listen to you.
“Stop looking at me with your ugly face.”
“Jelek said... He. he... he..”.
Gawat, Riki has reached his limit. Anyone please help me!
“For you here!”
Instantly, Riki's emotions instantly rose with a dash. His right hand was already clenched as if he wanted to launch a hard fist at Takeshi.
“Alright then.”
Takeshi, who wanted to show his greatness to Miyuki, put his bag on the floor of the carriage, folded his jacket sleeves to make his hands move freely. All the passengers in the car were watching us.
Security officer...Where are you in a time of need like this?
“Udah Rik.. hold your emotions, this is a public place.”
I held Riki's hand very firmly, since I had already seen him clenching his right hand and in a moment, he would definitely launch his punch right in Takeshi's face.
“But I can't just shut up Mar.”
“Emang this time we are wrong Rik, this is a public place as well.. I do not feel good with other passengers.”.
Not long after that, security officers arrived. With a full uniform and a fierce look on his face, he immediately walked up to us.
“What is this?”
“No problem Sir, just a check between students only. Come Rik we move the car only.”.
I pulled Riki's hand. I could see clearly that Riki was very upset when I stopped him. Indeed, his nature that always upholds self-esteem is very troublesome, but that's what makes him familiar with me.
Finally we moved to a carriage in front of the previous carriage, we headed straight to one of the doors to stand there.
“Why did you stop me Mar?”
Riki forcibly removed his hand from my grasp.
“Calm down, we're in a public place.”
“And if we hit him earlier, I'm sure I can win from him.”
“I already know it.”
“Then why are you blocking me?”
“If you fight in that place it is not cool at all.”
“Hah?”
Riki was confused to hear my words. Was my explanation too overwhelming for him? should I explain this to him? it doesn't seem necessary, after all if I had to explain to him it would be very troublesome.
“Just if you want to win, you have to give an elegant win.”
“Ha-ah.it feels like my hand is still itching to hit someone, can I hit you to replace it?”
“No.”
“But are you sure you let him just like that?”
“Let's.. Anyway I think soon we'll reply.”
Because if my premonition is true, then I will do something troublesome again.
I hope that doesn't happen, I'd love to lie in my bed right now.

“Wait! Restore that phone!”
I saw Takeshi running after a man in front of him. His face looked panicked as if he had just lost something or maybe he was missing something
“Yang is right!”
It was only a few minutes that we got out of the station and planned to take public transport to get home, and the feeling I had while on the train was already realized.
“What is it?”
“I also don't know Rik.”
Then I saw Miyuki also running past us following Takeshi. Miyuki was unable to keep up with Takeshi's speed and she was left far behind.
“Hey what's up?”
Ah shit! Why should I rebuke him, I should have let him run past me. You're my good side.
“Can I ask you please?”
“Why?”
“My phone was stolen by someone and now Takeshi is chasing him.”
Miyuki's face was panicked. Unlike the time on the train, this time he was very panicked about his phone. Looks like his phone is so expensive that he's that sweet.
“Two of your other friends where?”
“She's been down at the station before, Will you guys help me?”
Miyuki asked us for help with her face, but her face still looked beautiful. It was as if a beautiful princess from a great kingdom was asking for help from the commoners she met on the side of the road.
Why do you make such an expression.Im sure he is so cute, I don't have the heart to refuse him.
Will Riki help him?
I looked up at him and he looked at me with determined eyes to help a woman, then he gave a small nod.
OK. I think I know what he's thinking.
“Do you still remember the number on your phone?”
“What's the reason?”
“Tell me?”
Riki also nudged me with his elbow.
“At a time like this you still take a chance ya.”
“Be quiet you.”
Miyuki told me her phone number and then I sent it to my friend Maul.
“What will you do with that number?”
“You just see.”
I immediately called Maul to help me get Miyuki's phone back, because Maul is my friend who can track someone's phone using her number only. You could say he was a hacker.
“Assalamualaikum, are you busy not?”
“Waalaikummussalam, I am currently at leisure... What is it?”
“Good then, can you help me track down the phone whose number I just sent?”
“Can it be, whose number is it?”
“I don't have much time, I'll explain later.”
“Wait a minute yes, I'm doing it.”
Ten seconds passed.
“I've found the location Mar, but the point is still running, it looks like he's being chased by something.”
“Is the location far away with my current location?”
“Where is your location?”
“Near station.”
“...Hmmm pretty far Mar, but you can still go after him.”
“What did you just say was true?”
“Yes, the entire alley around here only leads to one road, you can catch up with one ride on public transport there.”
“Alright, we will move now.”
“Don't hang up Mar first, let me direct you.”
“Thank you, we are very helped.”
“It's not a problem.”
“Come on everyone, we catch the thief.”
***
In front of us there is already an alley that is not too big, maybe only enough size for two motorcycles.
“Truely this is his alley?”
“Not wrong again.”
“Then thank you for the help.”
“Just relax... tomorrow treat me when in the cafeteria yes?”
“OK.”
I hung up on him too.
“Who did you call Mar?”
“Maul.”
“Maul!”
Riki was shocked after hearing the name.
As I said before, Maul is one of my friends who has the ability to do hacking activities very expertly, in fact, he often helps the police in dealing with system security issues and rarely my friends who know it including Riki.
“I didn't expect that he could do such a thing.”
“At first I thought the same as you.”
Miyuki just stayed behind us without bothering us in the least. His face still looked panicked, I don't know what made him so sweet. What a phone is too valuable for him which if the phone is lost he will be scolded by his parents.
It's impossible, right? I don't think his parents would have been too concerned about that.
“What will we do now?”
“Give me a minute.”
Alright.. Now what can I do to solve this problem.
Do we have to get into this alley and stop the thief?
Seems not, if we block him it could be that he even ran through another lane. I think Maul can already predict that the thief will run here.
Hmmm..I think the most appropriate choice right now is just waiting for him here.
But how can he not take another path when he sees us?
Oh yeah, I just remembered, the thief didn't know we wanted to catch him. Then all we have to do is wait.
Besides, nearby there was no alley for him to escape, if he wanted to turn around, Takeshi would have been ready to block him in the backwoods.
What if he carries a gun?
I also look around me.
Well that's not a problem, around here a lot of people passing by. If anything happens I can scream for help.
And his last problem was Miyuki, if she were here I'm sure she would only bother us.
Now how am I supposed to get rid of him?
Until I finally saw a department store not far in front of us.
Problem solved.
“I've got an idea.”
“What was your idea?”
Riki was impatient to get into action.
“Miyuki.. can you buy me a drink there?”
I pointed at the department store and gave him money.
“But instead we want to catch a thief?”
“Already, you just buy a drink for us.. later on when you return, your phone is already in our hands."
Miyuki looked at me doubtfully at first. It's only natural for people who have met you for the first time. How could you possibly believe it.
“Alright, I'll believe your plan. So what kind of drinks do you want?”
"What do you want Rik?”
"I want some cold tea with apples."
"If I want a coffee-flavored yogurt."
"Yogurt coffee flavor? I just heard it."
"Alright, apple-flavored cold tea and coffee-flavored yogurt. Is there any more?"
"You can buy him something you want."
Miyuki also went to the convenience store with more trust in me. Actually I really don't like it when someone puts their trust in me, I think it's like adding responsibility to me.
Hopefully my coffee-flavored yogurt can take a long time for him to find it. I don't make up for coffee-flavored yogurt, it's a drink like that sold in convenience stores and I buy it often. But to find it will be very difficult because usually the yogurt is placed covered by another drink.
“Is that included from your plan?”
“Sure, I don't want this plan I've put together to fall apart just because of a woman.”
“You are sadistic as always yes.”
“Whispering You!”
“Hehehe... Then what's your plan?”
“We're just waiting here.”
“Waiting?! are you serious?”
“Yup”
“Looks like we don't have to wait anymore.”
Riki and I saw from a distance that someone was running towards us.
“We have to close this road Rik, don't let him get past us. If it passes, inevitably we have to pursue it.”
“Just relax, I'll make sure he gives you his phone.”
Riki with a burning spirit smashed both of his hands.
“Soaring!”
The thief was getting closer to us, and behind him began to see Takeshi running after him with some citizens following behind him.
Riki came forward to confront the thief.
“Stop there.”
But the thief did not hear Riki's warning and kept running.
“Alright then.”
Riki advanced towards the thief and made a gap for the thief to pass by.
Stupidhead! Why he didn't follow my plan. Then the thief can pass me. I can't stop him alone.
I think I know what Riki wants to do.
When the thief passed by quickly Riki immediately grabbed him which made him fall. Then he immediately locking the thief in his hand so as not to escape.
As I expected of someone who is an expert in martial arts.
I immediately picked up Miyuki's mobile phone that had fallen when the thief was intercepted by Riki.
Takeshi who saw me and Riki managed to secure the thief instantly stopped from running.
“That's her thief! Let's finish him off.”
The people who came with Takeshi were very emotional. That's what I'm confused about, but this phone doesn't belong to them, but why are they so angry.
Maybe they just want to vent their frustration or they do not like the name of theft. I still don't understand about it.
“Hold the gentlemen.”
I stopped them.
I was so scared when I stopped them. Since I'm not a person who is used to public speaking, if Riki wasn't keeping the thief from running away, I would have told him to talk.
“This thief is helpless, you better take him to the police station than beat him here, it is not something commendable.”
What did I just talk about, what if they don't accept it? Am I going to be hit by them?
“He was right, should adults exemplify something good against children.”
“Ya she's right.”
“We must not let children see the despicable actions of adults.”
Among them was a very wise man.
Then Riki gave the thief to the people who were there, and they took the thief to the nearest police station.
“Finally done too. Hopefully after this nothing happens again.”.
I stretched my hand up.
“Padahan I really wanted to hit him earlier.”
Riki's face looked dissatisfied with what he had just done.
“You know for yourself if you beat him earlier, surely the citizens will also be provoked by what you do.”
“But still I'm not satisfied.”
Then Miyuki who had just arrived from the convenience store immediately gave her the drink she had just bought.
“This is the drink.”
“Thank you, and this is your phone.”
I gave her phone too.
“My phone! How did you get it?”
“So the thief accidentally dropped it, try to check your phone first.”
Miyuki checked her phone as I told her to.
“Everything works, nothing is broken at all. Thank you.. Ano, by the way what is your name?”
“My name is Amar, and the big man who is contemplating there is Riki.”
Riki still looks dissatisfied to have caught the thief. Ever since the incident with Takeshi, he had been eager to vent his anger.
“Thank you Amar... Riki... I owe you guys a lot.”
Miyuki looks so happy that her phone is back.
“Quietly, it's not a big deal.”
Even if I talk like that, I actually want a reward from him whether it's money or whatever.
“Oh yes... Have you guys had lunch? How about before we go home we eat first together?”
“Do not joke!”
Suddenly Takeshi shouted towards us with an annoyed face on his face. He looked at the two of us with his eyes glaring and the veins on his forehead slightly popped out. He seems really upset.
This is what I've been waiting for.
“I've put my energy into chasing after the thief, but why are you two the only ones getting a thank you?”
Woah..Will Miyuki's thank you be so valuable to you big baby?
“I'm sorry Takeshi, I forgot to thank you.”
Miyuki immediately felt guilty.
“I should have gotten that compliment, that thank you, and it should have been me who looks like a hero here. But you two took all that from me.”
That was my real goal when helping Miyuki get her phone.
At first I had two plans to catch the thief, but I chose the most appropriate way to avenge Takeshi's actions on the train.
Riki could have gone after the thief without waiting for him at the end of the alley. From what I saw when the thief ran, Riki was much faster than him, plus the young Riki made his stamina better than the thief.
But if we use that plan, there's no effect on Takeshi. And I want to repay his actions.
That's why I asked Maul for help.
I know one way the mind of a man like Takeshi. It must have been during the pursuit of the thief that he had already imagined the praise coming out of Miyuki's mouth. But it's all been me and Riki snatched from him easily.
This is what I call ‘once rowing, two three islands exceeded’.
In addition to getting more attention from Miyuki, this can also make Takeshi look like a loser. This is an elegant victory in my opinion.
“Look at it later, I will definitely repay you.”
Takeshi left us with all the hatred he brought.
I forgot to think about it, I managed to add a friend and an enemy. I shouldn't have done that, bitch.
“You sure you let him go just like that Mar? Can I hit him.”
“From just now what's on your mind is just hitting people huh?”
“How else, my hands are still itching to hit someone.”
“Everything! I'm sorry to you two.”
Miyuki slightly bowed to us.
Oh, jadi seperti itu orang Jepang ketika meminta maaf.
“For I forgot to thank Takeshi, you guys became hostile to her.”
“Not to worry, it's not all your fault.”.
It's not your fault.
“...Indeed we did not get along with him from the beginning, is not it Rik?”
“Iya, after all he was too carry feeling.”
“But I'm so worried about your situation?”
“What's the reason?”
“Because if Takeshi had said that, surely he would have done it.”
Looks like I have to deal with troublesome people again.
“Quietly, surely Amar can handle it easily.”
Riki said with a wide smile that adorned his face.
It's easy for you to say that to Miyuki, I don't want to deal with anything troublesome anymore.
“But why did he return to the station?”
Riki looked at the shadow of Takeshi who was slowly starting to disappear.
“Sure to go home.”
“Indeed his house is not around here?”
“...No, Takeshi's house has passed several stations before this station.”
Although her nature is like a child, but her love for Miyuki can not be considered as a figment.
Keep on Takeshi, I will support you to get Miyuki even if I hate you.
