The Winter Promise

Chapter 33: Why Do I Do That?

I am currently running towards the TransJakarta bus stop to catch the first bus that will soon arrive. This happened because I woke up late, because last night I spent my night playing games until I forgot it was late at night.

I arrived at the bus stop to coincide with the first bus that had just arrived.

“You why is Mar in such a hurry? Are you bad luck?”

Riki asked me when I saw me arrive at the bus stop panting.

“That's.”

I also tried to normalize my breathing

“Tumben once saw you bad luck, what did you do last night?”

“There are events in the game that I play, and I did not realize it turned out that time has passed very quickly.”

“You are, have you brought the items brought today?”

Riki was very attentive to me. Although sometimes he's a little annoying, but still he's my best friend.

“Let's just relax, everything I've brought in my bag.”

“Alright then, let's get inside the bus immediately.”

We entered the bus and the bus headed to the next stop.

When we got to the front of the school, I saw a very long line of students. It seems like this is a check on the completeness of the uniforms and attributes that yesterday told us to bring.

I also immediately use a red business card that I made yesterday using cardboard and I have laminating.

I looked at each student who used a business card as well with different colors according to his majors. Multimedia in red, Engineering Software in dark blue, Administration

Offices are green, Pharmacy is yellow, and Accounting is light blue.

“Amar!”

I heard someone greet me from behind me.

“Yoshida! What are you doing here?”

I was surprised because the one who greeted me was Yoshida. Then I saw the alma mater and the business card he was wearing. Looks like she went to this school as well, but why don't I see her

on the first day yes.

“I went to school here too.”

I saw his green card. That means he's in the Department of Office Administration.

We lined up to get ready to enter the school. Each student was checked for uniforms one by one. Starting from ties, buckles, socks, and shoes.

While marching, I saw a woman panicking in front of me. It turned out that the woman who was panicking was Rina.

“Oi!”

“Ar.”

He looked at me with a very panicked face. This is a new sight for me. I never thought someone like him could be this sweet.

“What's up?”

“I forgot to use buckles. How about this, I will definitely be punished later!”

Rina looks very afraid of it, but I think the punishment given may not be too heavy. At most we were just told to run around the field.

Surrounding field?

I also just remembered that the field in my school today is larger than the school field in Junior High.

Ah seriously, it turned out to be very bad.

“Spirit!”

I also gave him spirit.

“Padahan last night I think I put it in the bag.”

Lina checked her bag back carefully.

“What's Mar?”

Riki who was behind me was curious and finally asked me.

“She forgot to bring her buckle.”

“Isn't that bad! Is there any way to help her Mar?”

“I don't think there is. Cooperative that sells buckles is in the school, if you ask someone at home to bring it here is also free because the distance is far.”

This is why I don't like schools that are far from home.

“Hei Rina, do you want to use my buckle?”

Riki also tries to give help to Rina.

“Thank you for the offer, but I don't want someone to replace me to be punished for the mistake I made.”

Rina also refused an offer from Riki and resigned to what would be accepted later.

If I were to become Rina, maybe I would accept an offer from Riki. Given Riki who is good at sports, it seems like running around the field is an easy thing for him.

We continued to advance until we approached OSIS brother who was in charge of checking our equipment.

“Oi Rik, switch places with me.”

I also told Riki to come in front of me.

“What's wrong?”

“Already, just do it.”

Riki finally swapped places with me.

Finally, it was Rina's turn to check her completeness.

“Sorry Brother, I don't use buckles.”

Rina confesses her mistake before OSIS' sister checks on her.

“Why can not wear it?”

“I left it at home.”

Lina looked glum when she answered that.

“Ya already, you are now going to the line there.”

Brother OSIS pointed towards the line of disciples whose uniforms were incomplete.

Rina walked towards the line.

“Wait!”

The OSIS sister stopped Rina.

“...That's your buckle in your bag pocket.”

The OSIS brother pointed to the bag bag on the right side.

Rina was surprised and saw that there was a clasp there.

“Since when is this buckle here?”

“Quick put on your buckle and go to class.”

The OSIS sister then checked Riki.

Rina also realized that the clasp was not hers, and Rina immediately looked at me. I threw away my gaze by pretending to talk to Yoshida who was behind me.

“What are you doing here? Quickly return to your class.”

The other OSIS sister rebuked Rina.

“Good Brother.”

Finally, Lina went to her class.

Riki had finished checking as well, since he was wearing attributes completely, he escaped to go to class.

Okay, now it's my turn.

While I was being examined, OSIS found out that I wasn't wearing a buckle. Of course I didn't wear it, because my clasp was already used by Rina now.

Actually a few minutes ago when Rina checked her bag, I took off my clasp and put it in my alma mater's pocket. And when she was done checking, I put my buckle in the bag pocket

which is on the right side of the bag so that OSIS' brother can see it.

I don't know why I do something like this either. But what I do will make me get hit by something troublesome.

“Why don't you use your buckle?”

“This morning I'm bad luck Brother, so I'm in a hurry.”

“Reason.. Quickly go to that line.”

I also went to a line of children who did not use full attributes.

I saw in front of the line there was Kak Deni who was ready to punish us all.

Huh! What he's crazy about, five pitches is a lot for a field this big. Does he have no heart, huh!

We entered the school and went to the main square. After putting our bags on the sidelines, one by one we started running around the field.

“Quick! Hurry along! Fast!”

Deni shouted at us all from the sidelines.

Huh... Huh... Huh... It's torture, since when is the Mos system like this.

Because at that moment the bell had not rang, I saw a lot of students watching us from inside the building. Even I also saw Miyuki and RIna who witnessed that.

Finally, five heavy rounds I managed to pass. Fortunately, during the holidays yesterday I had time to jog in the morning and afternoon to restore my stamina before climbing to Mount Prau. If I hadn't done that, maybe these five rounds would have been really heavy.

I also went back to my class. As I climbed the stairs, my legs trembled with exhaustion, I needed someone to carry me right now. I walked slowly to class and finally arrived even though it took a long time to go to class.

I sat down in my chair and intended to go to bed first. It just so happened that there were still fifteen minutes before the entrance bell rang.

“You were told to do anything Mar?”

Riki asked me when I was just sitting in my chair.

“From field five times round.”

“Hahahaha... Anyhow you want to do something like that, but you will know that the punishment must be exhausting.”

“So you saw it?”

“Of course, I saw when you took off your buckle and put it in Rina.”'s bag

As I expected from my best friend.

“How yes... Maybe I feel like I owe him something.”

I took off my alma mater and put it on my desk. I want to make my alma mater a pillow for me to sleep on.

“You are right too, when in Junior High he has helped you a lot.”

“Have I taken a break for a while, if Kak Fauzi and Kak Ayu have come to class please wake me.”

I also prepared to sleep.

“Ok.”

I had just closed my eyes and wanted to enter dreamland, but I heard a noise coming from my class. I don't know what happened and I don't want to know about it either. Right now I just want to rest in peace. Do I need to go to the UKS only.

Because the noise did not go away, it made me curious and intend to see who made my sleep disturbed like this. But when I had just lifted my head, I had already seen Miyuki and Rina who were beside me.

“Eh! Are we bothering you Ar?”

Lina looks so guilty for waking me up.

“No, you didn't wake me.”

Of course, your presence really bothers me.

“Before I wanted to thank you Ar... I know that the buckle I use is yours, if it's not you maybe I should have run earlier.”

Rina thanked me.

“Where did you know it was my buckle?”

“Entah possible only feeling.”

“What happened?”

Miyuki was confused and curious about our conversation. It seems like Rina has not told Miyuki about this.

“This is Miyuki, earlier when the attribute check, actually I did not carry my clasp. Keep Ar lending her buckle by putting that clasp in my bag.”

Of course I put it directly in your bag, if I offer it as well as Riki maybe he will also reject me.

“Heee... I didn't know Amar could do something like this either.”

Miyuki looked at me with a very irritating look.

“Such things anyone can also do.”

“Then Ar, I want to return your buckle.”

Rina prepared to remove the clasp and return it to me.

“You better just use that clasp until school is over. I'm sure later in the middle of the event there is another attribute check, because I've gotten in the law earlier, I so have a stamp in my playbook.”

So after I finished my sentence earlier, Brother Deni gave his signature in my playbook to mark that I did not use attributes and had already served his sentence.

“Can't be like that Ar, at least let me accept the punishment as well.”

I did not answer and went back to sleep.

“What Amar said is true Rina, you better just use the clasp until school is over. If you

return it and let you get punished, it's the same as you don't appreciate the efforts of Amar who was willing to replace you earlier.”

Riki helped me convince Rina.

“You're right Rik, I'm sorry Ar. Then I'll return your buckle when school ends.

Lina gave up and they went back to their classes.

When Rina and Miyuki left my class, suddenly all the boys in my class came to my desk.

“Hei Mar, what is your relationship with the two of them?”

“It looks like you and Rina are so close that they have their own calls.”

“Include me to Miyuki Mar.”

All the boys asked me was endless. I want to rest here.

Can you let me rest! I beg.

“Quiet everyone, I will answer your questions one by one as his closest friend.”

Riki finally served them all and made things a little quiet.

“What does Amar have to do with Rina and Miyuki?”

“Amar's relationship with Miyuki is just a friend. If with Rina, Amar used to have a class with him when in SMP.”

Good Rik, keep answering those stupid questions.

“What is Amar's relationship with Rina? I heard Rina called Amar by the name of ‘Ar’.”

“If it has its own history, but clearly they are so close that they cannot be separated by anything.”

Riki also began to tease me, even though I had believed him earlier.

“Is that true?”

“You can ask directly to the person.”

“Mar!”

“Oi Mar! Answer our questions.”

You insolent Rik, I thought you'd let me sleep in peace earlier.

I finally woke up from my sleep and watched them all.

“What's your relationship with Rina?”

“Didn't Riki say it before, we've only been in the same class for three years. Only that there is nothing else.”

“You must be lying, it is impossible just to be in the same class can be called as that.”

“Do I lie now? Is there any benefit if I lie?”

Sfx : Young.... Teng.... Teng.... Teng....

The bell rang and all the students returned to their seats.

I was finally free too.

Not long after, Kak Fauzi and Kak Ayu entered the class and explained the agenda that will be held today.

“As you guys saw in the playbook I shared yesterday. Today is the day you choose extracurricular activities. Each student is required to choose an extracurricular activity. Later you will go to the sports hall to watch the extracurricular demo there. Then after watching the demo, you can go directly to the field to register at each booth of the extracurricular.”

Brother Fauzi explained it to all of us. All the students who were there looked very impatient to see the extracurricular demo at this school.

Huh...! You have to choose one extracurricular. I guess I can go home quickly.

“About you'll sign up for what Mar?”

“Entahlan, I think in exckul that is not troublesome, can be free, and not tiring.”

“There is indeed such an excrement.”

“Now, if you're alone Rik... Ah looks like you don't have to answer, you must have entered the pencak silat exkul right?”

“Of course, that's why I got into this school Mar.”

Yes exckul? Is there an excrement that would interest me. At least in my life I can find peace.
