The Winter Promise

Chatper 41: Becoming a Freelancer.

I'm currently in the multimedia lab working on a task given by one of my productive teachers. Actually the reason I came here, because I wanted to play games with Mr. Febri, it's been two days that I often go to the lab after school just to play games with him.

Usually when I get to the multimedia lab, Mr. Febri is already here and waiting for me while playing the game. But this time, I came first compared to him.

The lab door opened and an adult man with a lethargic face entered the lab. Mr. Febri immediately walked up to me and turned on the computer beside me.

“Come on we play!”

“Why Sir? Looks like today father lethargic once.”

“I just checked the assignment of the twelfth grader earlier, and it was a lot.”

Mr. Febri immediately opened the game and waited for me before starting the game.

“Bapak just play first Sir, I'm working on a task. Soon finished.”

I also accelerated my movements to complete the task. Because I myself can't wait to play games here either. When else you can play free games like this, usually I have to pay three thousand rupiah to play an hour and five thousand rupiah for two hours.

“Can also design your poster it.”

Mr. Febri looked at my computer monitor.

“Thank you sir, honest first time makes me doubt that my design is good.”

“You must be confident in your design... Oh yeah, you want to accept the poster design job as well? I just got my offer this afternoon. If you want, I give it to you.”

Mr. Febri offered me a job. This is my golden opportunity to increase my income this month. After spending decreases now my income will increase. Uhhh... I was lucky to get into SMK.

“Alright Sir, but I'm not sure if my design poster will be good. I just tried using this app today. So I don't know how it will turn out.”

“You just try it first, trust yourself with the design you make. According to my observations, your design is good. You just look for references on the internet and do ATM.”

Mr. Febri gave me encouragement and advice.

ATM stands for Amati, Tiru, and Modification. Usually designers use this method to create a work.

“Alright, I will try first.”

“It was nice new.”

“By the way where did you get this job?”

“In addition to working here, I also have a part-time job at one of the teen magazines. At the end of this there are many requests to make a design because it will soon come out of its new issue. Plus I have to correct the duties of the students in this school making my time not much to do that. So lately I have been refusing a lot of jobs from there.”

Hmmmm... A part-time worker, it seems interesting. I also have a plan to have a job like that.

“...Oh yes Mar, later the work you will do I will tell you tomorrow. I also don't know what poster you should make. From now on many-many just see the reference on the internet.”

“Any Pak!”

“We have discussed the work here. Hurry up Mar, let's play the game!”

Mr. Febri asked me again, apparently from earlier he was waiting for me to finish my job.

“Alright Sir, it happens that my task is also done... After all, is there really no one else you can invite to play too? I think a lot of students in this school who play this game.”

I immediately closed my design application and opened the game that was already installed on my computer.

“Indeed students who know and play this game a lot. But people who understand this game a little.”

Did Mr Febri just say that I am among the people who play this game?

“I'm not that universal Sir.”

“No, you're pretty good at playing this. Even the item suggestions that you often recommend to you, often you use and win a game.”

“I only know that from the videos on the internet Mr.”

And we started playing the game. Actually, the ability of Mr. Febri in playing this game is very good, maybe compared to me more good at him. But why, he often asked me about the items that should be used.

Then when we were playing games. Kichida and Miyuki break into the multimedia lab. Though originally the two of them were in the library, there must have been something wrong there so they went here.

“Pak Febri!”

Kichida immediately greeted Mr. Febri when he entered the lab and they both approached us.

“Iya, Kichida!”

Mr. Febri replied to a greeting from Kichida with the view still focused on the game.

“What are you doing?”

“I'm playing a game with Amar.”

Kichida looked at the screen from Mr. Febri and found that Mr. Febri was playing a game.

“Father play this game too?!”

Kichida who seemed to know the game looked surprised to know that Mr. Febri also played the game.

“Do you play this game also Kichida?”

Mr. Febri asked back to Kichida.

“I don't play this game Sir. At that time I tried to play it, but it turned out the game was too difficult for people like me.”

“Great once you can move a finger that fast Mar.”

Miyuki came up to me and was impressed by what I was doing.

“Of course, I've played this game a lot when SMP. So my fingers are used to it.”

“It looks like the game is difficult.”

“Who is Mar? Your boyfriend?”

Without thinking, Mr. Febri immediately asked me with a very extraordinary question.

“No, he's just my friend.”

I answered that quickly and swiftly.

“I think he's your girlfriend.”

“From where you can get such a conclusion.”

“So it looks so.”

“Where is Rina?”

I asked Miyuki because I didn't see Rina with them.

“Rina no picket today.”

“Why don't you picket too?”

“Of course because my schedule with him is different Mar.”

“Oh.”

The next day has arrived. As usual after school, I went to the multimedia lab to meet with Mr. Febri. Because of this he was willing to give me an assignment about the job he offered yesterday.

“...So you just make a poster like the example I gave in that file.”

Mr. Febri also told me what I needed to do.

“Good Sir!”

“I also left my modem here for you to use if you want to search for references on the internet.”

“Where are you going?”

“Today there's a teacher meeting, it's exhausting. Though the plan today I want to push MMR.”

Mr. Febri complained about having to follow the meeting. I just laughed when I saw her look almost like me. I should have gotten along with him quickly.

Mr. Febri finally left me at the multimedia lab.

All right, time to work!

While I was doing my work, Yoshida came to the multimedia lab and approached me.

“What are you doing Mar?”

Yoshida sat down on the empty chair beside me.

“I'm making a poster. Where are the others?”

“They're all having an exculus today.”

Yoshida accompanied me to work in the lab.

“Amar, may I ask you something?”

“What's up?”

“Do you have feelings for Miyuki?”

This celebration again... Has Miyuki not said this to Yoshida yet? She should have known how I thought about love.

“Nothing and not possible.”

I answered that very quickly without thinking first.

“Is that true?”

“Indeed why are you asking like that?”

“Because usually the person who said no and couldn't possibly have feelings for Miyuki in Junior High is a playboy. Since they wanted to approach Miyuki as well as the other women, that's why they said that.”

“Do people like me look like a playboy?”

I asked him back.

“Yes, you're like a Mar.” playboy

“Hah!? How can?”

I was surprised when I heard that. Because the bias of the person I asked such a question would reply would not.

“You're close to Rina and Miyuki. Besides, it looks like you're giving hope to both of them. That's the same as playboy Mar.” did

I also thought a little about it, but I did not feel that I gave hope to the young people. I guess I just did as usual.

“I'm close to Rina because it's been three years in her class, and for Miyuki you should have known the story from Miyuki herself. I really don't think to like or live a relationship with someone for now.”

I saw Yoshida who was a little relieved after I said that.

“Then you should stay away from Miyuki Mar.”

“Why?”

“There are already many boys want it age or upperclassmen who start eyeing it. He's worried that you'll get hit... You must still remember what happened in the library, right? Thankfully they did nothing.”

Yoshida gave me a warning. Actually I already knew that when I dealt with Kak Deni. No, maybe ever since I found out that being in the same school as Miyuki would be troublesome.

“I already know suspect it.”

“I beg Mar, so that you can cheat Miyuki for now. I don't want you to get hit.”

“If I could do it I did it a long time ago.”

“Just calm Mar, I will help you to stay away from Miyuki.”

Looks like Yoshida really wants me to stay away from Miyuki. Is he really worried about me or does he have other intentions.

“Thank you for worrying about me. But you take it easy, I already have a plan to overcome this.”

“Are you sure your plan will work?”

Yoshida who never saw me make any plans became worried about me.

“You can see it later.”

“Alright, I'll see it first. But if you fail and start getting hit. I'll try to keep you away from Miyuki.”

Yoshida looked serious when he said that.

Two hours passed and Mr. Febri had returned from the meeting of his teachers. He immediately looked at my work and assessed the results of my design.

“I think it's good. There are several designs that can be used and that is enough... Good job, I also ask your mobile number Mar to call you later.”

I gave my phone number to Mr. Febri.

“I'll tell you again about the payment problem.”

“Alright Sir.”

The next day, I went to the multimedia lab after school to see Mr. Febri. He said he wanted to pay for my design yesterday.

When I was climbing the stairs, I met Riki there.

“Why are you here Rik? Didn't you just go to the gym?”

“I went to the gym only to return the samsak. Today is Friday you know, I exkul I have a holiday today.”

“I forgot it.”

“Where are you going Mar?”

“I want to go to the multimedia lab to meet Mr. Febri, why?”

Riki stopped me too, it seemed like there was something she wanted to talk to me about.

“You don't want to go to the library?”

“No, lately I spend more time in the lab than in the library. Why?”

“I just saw a group of upperclassmen who went into the library room. Not long after they entered, all of a sudden all of the disciples who were there directly walked out of the room except for Rina and the others.”

Oh... So that's what he wanted to talk to me about.

“Have you heard it from Maul? If there are some upperclassmen who lately often come to the library just to tease Miyuki.”

“Sure, Maul already told me about it yesterday Monday.”

“Then I don't have to explain it back to you. Better now we get in there first.”

Riki and I entered the library. Monday's events are repeated. When we entered, they did nothing and just left from there. I looked at the officer's desk, again the one guarding there was a student. It seemed like they only dared to do this if the library attendant was a disciple.

Riki immediately approached Miyuki and the others. They looked really happy when Riki and I came there.

“Because the problem seems to be finished and here also there is Riki, I went briefly to the lab first yes.”

“Ok Mar, leave the one here to me.”

I also went to the multimedia lab to meet with Mr. Febri. Once there Mr. Febri was waiting for me and without further ado, he gave me an envelope. I'm sure the envelope contained my work money yesterday.

I also received the envelope and opened it, it turned out that there was money amounting to two hundred thousand. I looked at the money with great pleasure, rarely did I get this much money with my own efforts.

“That's your payment for yesterday. Actually I have another job for you to do. Do you want to take it?”

Mr. Febri offered me another job.

“By pleasure.”

And starting from that day, I also have my own income. Although I do not often receive it, but my need for spending a month is no longer relying on my parents anymore and money from my parents I can save to buy something else.
