The Winter Promise

Chapter 40: Is This Enjoyable?

“Wah... I enjoyed watching Mr. Febri play his game too much. Hope I come on time.”

I'm now running a little to the mushala from the multimedia lab. When he saw Mr. Febri playing the game, it did not feel that thirty minutes had passed quickly.

When I reached Mushala, I immediately performed the prayer and after that I waited for the other members there. According to the information I got from Kak Ayu, all the male members in my exkul gathered on the first floor while the female ones gathered on the second floor. But while I was waiting there, I didn't see anyone there at all.

Was I wrong on time? Or they all went home first. I think at that time Ayu said her excursion started at four. Or maybe I had the wrong day. How'this? I should have asked for Kak Ayu's cell phone number.

“Excuse me... Do you want to follow exkul rohis too?”

With a male voice behind me, I turned my head to see who it was.

“Also? Means you're also a member of exkul rohis?”

“That's.”

Thank goodness I didn't have the wrong day.

“My name is Rian.”

The man introduced himself to me.

“I Amar, nice to meet you.”

“What comes with this rohis just the two of us?”

Rian looked around the musala and only found the two of us there.

I already know from my friends that this exkul less fans, but I did not expect that until this severe.

“Are there not supposed to be some upperclassmen who follow this exkul?”

“So please, I didn't find out much about this exkul.”

When we were busy talking, came a figure of an adult man with a peci and also a cocoa shirt approached us.

“Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.”

The man greeted us both.

“Waalaikumussalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.”

We both answered his greetings. I was a little confused as to who this man was, I just thought that he was our mentor later on, because that was all that occurred to me back then.

“Rian and Amar huh?”

He immediately mentioned the names of the two of us even though we had not mentioned our names before.

“Iya Ustaz.”

We both agree on that. It is clear that this man is our mentor.

“Previously introduce, I'm Adi. I was your mentor during this meeting... How are you two doing?”

Ustaz Adi introduced himself very kindly. Every time he says something or asks us, he feels like a nice person to talk to.

“Alhamdulillah, healthy Ustaz!”

“Ustaz, what in this exkul the male members are just us alone ustaz?”

I asked Ustaz Adi to dispel my curiosity.

“Before there were some of your upperclassmen who participated in this exkul. But as time went on, they started not coming one by one. So the male members in this exkul are just the two of you.”

It's only fitting that when I applied for my ex, I didn't see any men at all at the registration booth. At first I thought they did not enter or have other activities, it turns out that from the beginning they did not exist.

“Indeed why no one wants to get into this exculpation Ustaz?”

I asked again, because I was curious about this. An ex that all my criteria have in it, but absolutely no one has any interest in entering it.

“Before answering that question, I want to ask you both. Why do you two want to get into this exkul?”

“If I want to get closer to the Creator of Ustaz, because all this time I consider myself far away and too much to play around.”

Hearing Rian's reply made me a little embarrassed myself. It was great that he had such noble intentions to enter into this exkul. Unlike me who goes into this exculpation because I think this exkul is not tiring, troublesome, and can be free.

“Then Amar how?”

“If I time to register, I think this exkul is more interesting than other exkul.”

There's no way I'm telling Ustaz Adi my real reason.

“What attracts it?”

Gawat, I didn't expect that he would ask again.

“I myself also do not know Ustaz, but when I was choosing exculcio inexplicably I feel this exkul is more interesting than other exkul.”

“Oh so.”

Ustaz Adi tried to understand it and did not ask further.

“Because today is the first day, so we have not yet entered into exculpation activities first yes... Before that, I would like to ask you about your commitment. From monday, wednesday, and Thursday, what day do you usually have?”

“For what Ustaz?”

I'm a little clueless as to what Ustaz Adi is asking.

“To determine your excrement day.”

“So we excre only once a week Ustaz?”

I confirmed it back to Ustaz Adi.

“Iya.”

UHHH... Is this called a pleasure? At first I thought it would be three days a week, but it turns out we only need to choose one of the three days.

I tried to hold back my excitement in front of Ustaz Adi and Rian. There's no way that if I'm happy at a time like this, it'll look disrespectful to me.

“By the way your two houses where?”

“If my house is in Cibubur Ustaz.”

“God willing, why did you get into this school? The distance from Cibubur to Sawah Besar is quite far.”

“Because I got a recommendation to this school Ustaz, so I took it.”

“God willing, if you intend from home to school to study, God willing, every step of your foot here will be a reward.”

Hmmmm... Then, just a week of school here has made my price a lot.

“If Rian?”

“If my house is in Gambir Ustaz... Ustaz his own home where?”

“I want to leave here, walk here too... I also opened a study at a musala near the house after the Maghrib prayer, if you have time later we can go together to there.”

“That's Ustaz, God willing if there is a time later I will come to join Ustaz.”

Rian looks very excited. He seems to be the same type of person as Riki but his spirit only came out because of a few things.

“Do you want to come with Mar?”

“Yah's... Maybe if I have free time, I'll come with you.”

“Just calm Mar, I'm telling you that. After all your home is far away too, if Rian is only half an hour to get to his house.”

Ustaz Adi is very good. Maybe if I had more time, I'd come with Rian to his studies.

“Which two of you are from which class?”

“I'm from tenth grade Multimedia D Ustaz.”

“Do you think you are a new kid from tenth grade who is good at playing basketball?..”

What the hell? I just heard it.

“...I saw your match in the final, because the distance I was sitting on the field was very far, so I couldn't see the person clearly. Is that really you?”

“Unfortunately Amar is great at playing basketball?”

Ustaz Adi became curious after hearing that from Maul.

“He is very great Ustaz, if said my friend who can play basketball, his ability is like a professional player. Even my friend who joined the basketball team said he couldn't do what Amar did.”

Rian was too overrated in praising me. Every technique that I do in playing basketball can definitely be done by anyone, blame him to train in earnest.

“Did you go to basketball club Mar?”

“No Ustaz, I only follow rohis excul only.”

“Why? Aren't you good at playing basketball, you should just follow basketball.”

“I have no interest to get into the Ustaz basketball experience, but if only just playing basketball I want.”

“Ohh so... If you're Rian?”

“I'm from tenth grade RPL A Ustaz.”

RPL A?

“Do you know Maulana?”

“Oh Maul... He's my best friend. Why do you know Maul?”

“I used to have a Junior High with him, and he was also my close friend.”

“You know Mar, he's very good at his programming skills. Though the average friend in class on not knowing what is the program, language used, and commands.”

That is of course, a person nicknamed Hacker when in Junior High may not have low computer capabilities. Though the friends in Junior High had never seen Maul perform any acts of hacking, only I and Riki had ever seen her. Oh yeah, and also Miyuki.

“So what day do you want?”

“If I was up to you Mar, you'd be the farthest house.”

Rian handed this decision to me. I thought for a while to decide the day.

“It looks like Monday only Ustaz. How's Yan?”

I asked Rian for his opinion.

“Not bad, Monday seems like a good day.”

“Then we agree on Monday, and the starting time is four.”

“Good Ustaz.”

And we talked about faith until five in the afternoon. Even if you just talk, it does not feel that time goes by so quickly. At first I thought it would be boring, but it was interesting, too, so many new things I knew from there.

After the exculpation was over, I went straight to the library to meet Miyuki and the others there. Since we have decided to go home together, they should be waiting for us.

When I reached the front of the library, I saw Maul who was peering into the library from outside. He looked serious and it made me very curious.

“What's Mul?”

I went to him and asked him.

“Please your voice Mar.”

Maul pulled me into hiding and we both peeked into the library. As I peeked inside the library, I saw Miyuki and the others were with some men there. I also heard that occasionally they were teased with the man.

“How long have you been here Mul?”

“I've just come here and seen this, so I don't dare to go in there."

“Not in the library should there be no commotion, why does no one stop them?”

“You can see there.”

Maul pointed at the desk of the library attendant in front of the room. I looked at the table and there was a disciple guarding. It is only fitting that they are not stopped, surely the ones keeping fear to rebuke them.

“What should we do Mar?”

“Sign in as usual, why should you curse like this.”

“I'm afraid if we walk in and go straight to them. You don't see the creepy looks of them. I'm sure they'll hit you if you bother them. I hope there is currently Riki here.”

So that's why he was here and didn't want to go inside.

“Riki is still training with her excursion in the gym, so there's no way she'll be here now. Besides why should we be afraid of them, we have a problem with them.”

I entered the library and left Maul in the hallway. When I walked into the library, the views of Miyuki and the others immediately led to me. I went to him to join them.

As I was about to approach them, suddenly the men left there without speaking anything to me. At that time I was confused and happy. I'm happy because I don't have to bother taking care of them and confused because what they do I don't think is ordinary.

Usually if I was going to approach Miyuki who was with them. They will try to ask what my relationship is with Miyuki and then they try to intimidate me. Yep... That's what always happens when I'm with Miyuki. Because it has happened so often, so I am used to dealing with things like this.

Rina came straight to me.

“What happened?”

“When we were busy working on the pr together, suddenly they came and approached us. They continue to invite us to talk ceaselessly, even making us so already to do pr.”

I saw that Rina was so exhausted to face them all.

“Whatever among you no one dares to reprimand them?”

“Don't us Ar, the guarding officer just didn't dare to reprimand them. Initially there were some students also in the library who did pr as well, but since they came, all the students who were here immediately went out of the library.”

Hmmmm... I was curious about those guys. Are they so respected in this school? There are still many things I need to investigate like that.

“It looks like the library clerk today is just a student of the literature club. It was only natural that he did not dare to reprimand the men earlier.”

Maul also entered the library and approached us.

“It is only fitting that he did not dare to reprimand them.”

I'm sure something's not right with that bunch of guys. Their intentions did not seem to have come to tempt Miyuki and the others alone. They must have had other intentions to come here. If that's the case, but what are they after now?

It seems like I have to prepare for everything that will happen later.
