The Winter Promise

Chapter 67: Staying Away from the Deadline.

In the slightly overcast night sky, I also walked down the quiet streets using my motorcycle. As far as the eye could see, I did not see at all the people passing by on the street. I also speed up my motor speed because my heart has arisen fear of something, not because of ghosts or demons but humans who have hearts like demons.

Haha... How's my temple tonight? Maybe in each chapter, I will start writing something similar in the future before starting the story. Wait for... I don't think it's necessary, it's too much trouble.

I am currently heading to Maul's house to stay because the grace period given by Mr. Hari is running out, while the application and web there are still some more things we need to work on.

“Maul! Maul!”

I called Maul from outside her house. Not long after, a man came out with a pale and shabby face. I think it's reached its limit.

“You're so pale? did something happen?”

“I just finished the app yesterday. It turns out that when I check back, there are still many bugs in it. Come on in..”

Maul said very lethargicly.

Maul took me to her room. When I got to his room, it was a mess, I didn't even know where to sit.

“Sit wherever you want, just think of your own home.”

Maul gave me a small table.

“Then this my house will not be as messy as this.”

“Sorry, I forgot to tidy up my things for being too focused on this job.”

Maul went back to the front of his computer and continued to fix the bugs in the application.

I also tidied up Maul's room first before starting my work. Because I don't really like seeing things fall apart while I'm at work. My concentration may be disturbed because of that.

“I scrambled eggs for us to eat, if you want to take it.”

I opened my laptop and did my job. Today I intend to complete web design for the application later. The name of the comic reading app we created is called Comic Universe. As you know, the name is the name of the Comics Universe if it is used as English.

“Uah!! Rest first.”

I stretched my body and also briefly lay on Maul's mattress behind me. I also looked at the wall clock that was there when the time had shown ten o'clock at night.

“Did you tell your parents you were going to stay here?”

Maul is still focused on working on her application.

“Of course, even I have brought a uniform for tomorrow.”

“It looks like tonight we won't be able to sleep.”

I think what Maul said is true. I just finished the web design now and then just put the data into it. It's a good thing that Maul taught me about it a few days ago, so I don't have to interrupt her work.

“If I am calm, tomorrow in my class there is a lesson Mr. Febri. I can steal a chance to sleep in the lab.”

“If in my class all the teachers who teach tomorrow can not be invited to compromise all.”

“Izin only to UKS, the intention is also that if Mr. Febri does not allow me to sleep in class, I will go to UKS to sleep.”

“Maybe I'll do that when my eyes can't be compromised anymore.”

We both stopped our work for a while and ate the martabah I had bought.

“How do you work? Is the design and assets ready?”

“Already, I've also sent all that on your drive.”

“Then I want to make the script briefly.”

Maul continued her work while eating martabak.

“You don't want to rest first?”

“If I take a break, I cannot finish the application on time.”

He was really hardworking apparently.

“How successful do you think this app will be after its release?”

Ask him.

“I am sure great success because now there are not many competitors in the Indonesian market. If two applications from Korea and Japan have entered Indonesia, it may be different again.”

“I just this time working on a project of this magnitude. usually the project I work on is only a small project.”

“I've done a lot of great work like this, but usually I'm helped by some people to make the program. That's why my previous job still looks easy.”

Then we heard the sound of a car approaching Maul's house.

“Looks like my dad's home.”

“Why did your father just come home this late? Usually magrib already at home.”

“If it is not wrong I have told you that he is conducting a silent investigation of a case that is currently crowded lately.”

Be discreet? Sounds cool.

“So so.”

“Do you want to talk to my father?”

“I'm not good to talk to him this late, surely he also wants to rest after a day of work.”

“It's quiet.”

Maul also invited me to meet her father who was in the living room at the time.

“It turns out there's Amar here! Staying Mar?”

His father Maul immediately greeted me when I met him.

“Iya Om.”

Actually I was a little afraid of his father Maul because his fierce face and his large body made a very scary impression.

“Sit.”

Maul and I sat directly opposite their father. Maul's mother gave me and Maul some warm tea and Maul's father was given a cup of black coffee.

“What are you two working on?”

The way he asked was like he was interrogating a criminal.

“I'm working on a task together with Maul Om. There are some tasks that I don't understand and have Maul teach it.”

“Oh so.”

His father Maul also sipped black coffee is still hot.

“Do you still investigate the case again?”

Maul directly asked him without further ado first.

“That's.”

Heee... It turned out that his father Maul quite casually responded to that.

“What is this case that difficult?”

“Maul must have told you this. No problem, Om also wants to hear the opinion of talented young people like you.”

I thought Maul was going to be punished by his father, but he wasn't.

“Actually solving this case is quite easy, but finding people who can solve this case without being paid is hard. Of all the many people I know that I trust, only a few

who wants to do it.”

“Why is this not paid? Isn't it if Om can solve this case Om should be able to get a gift from there.”

“Because this case was done in secret without the knowledge of the office and not recorded in the office, so Om did not follow the procedures that should have been done to solve a case.”

I just found out that to solve a case there has to be a procedure. Though I think as long as the case is over and the people are happy about the achievement, it should be enough.

“Can't you get a dime sir?”

“if it's a good luck depending on the boss.”

“That's why I'm so lazy to be a cop.”

“You must not join in solving this case Maul, this is too dangerous for children your age. You too Amar, do not help him if he needs help to resolve this. Om knows that Maul often asks for help Amar if he is getting a case from the Om.” office

Because of Maul, I got scolded too.

“I will not help him Om, at that time I also told him that this is too dangerous. Besides, I don't think this is a world for teenagers our age to enter.”

“Hear Amar Maul's words!”

“Iya... Da... Take it easy, and I have something to do right now. Come Mar let's go back to my room, if we continue here later can not be finished on time.”

Maul and I went back to her room to do our job with sweet tea made by her mother.

We also started doing our own work. It was very quiet because we were very focused on the job we had. Me and Maul both use earphones and listen to songs to eliminate sleepiness.

Time passes and concentration decreases with drowsiness that haunts every moment. My eyes have started to feel heavy, maybe if I let my guard down a little I can fall asleep immediately.

Ah seriously, where there is data that cannot be entered.

“Mul, how do I enter this data?”

I didn't get any answers from him at all.

“Mul?”

I looked at his computer desk and found out he was asleep there with a position to sit leaning on his chair.

What time is it?

I also saw the clock on my laptop screen and there showed it at three in the morning. It seems like I can sleep for a while, it's not good to also do this job with this sleepy condition. I may have entered the data wrong later.

I closed my laptop, took the pillow Maul had provided in her bed, and lay on the floor right next to my laptop.

***

Geck... Geck... Geck...

“Maul!... Amar!... Wake up! Morning prayers first.”

Me and Maul woke up to the sound of Maul's mother waking us. We both looked at the clock to see what time it was.

“Alhamdulillah your mother woke us up at dawn, so we do not need to be late and there is still time to do our work.”

I immediately warmed up to stretch my stiff body.

“Why are you also sleeping?”

Maul was still gathering her consciousness.

“Here the sleepy not only you Mul, I was just as sleepy earlier.”

“How much has the web grown?”

“There is one data that is still problematic right entered, the rest are all Ok.”

“The application I made is also almost finished, just connect it with the web that you are making it. Looks like before leaving for school, I can finish it.”

Huhhhhh... Thank goodness we were on time.

“It's good! If this is over now, tomorrow night I can sleep well. How many days have I not been able to sleep quietly because I always think of a grace period.”

“I'm the same as you.”

“Today Mr. Day asks us to come to the office for a meeting on publication issues.”

“Alright then, our time is not much.”

After returning home at dawn, we continued our work with a burning spirit as the finish line was already visible.

***

“Oi Amar! Wake up, this is not the place to sleep.”

I also woke up to be awakened by Mr. Febri.

All the disciples looked towards me who was still half conscious, there were among those who were laughing looking at my stupid face at this moment.

I'm at school and studying for Mr. Febri. Like I said before, if I'm going to fall asleep during Febri's class hours. I originally intended to take my sleep during the trip to school. But as you know from the bus in the morning. We didn't get any seats for us to sleep in, we couldn't sleep standing up because the shock was too big, it just made our heads dizzy.

 “I know that you are being chased for time, but don't let your school be abandoned too.”

Mr. Febri shook his head looking at me at this moment.

“Supposedly you let me fall asleep for a while.”

“If you want to sleep, better just go to UKS only.”

“Alright then.”

I also went to the UKS according to the advice of Mr. Febri. When I got to the door of the UKS, it turned out Maul had also arrived there.

“Are you told by Mr Febri to move to UKS?”

Maul asked with a face that was still sleepy.

“That's.”

We opened the doors of the UKS and entered together. When we entered, it turned out that there was Miyuki and also Rina.

“What are you guys doing here? Isn't it still lesson time? Are you guys skipping lessons?”

It doesn't seem to be suitable for students who intentionally skipped class saying that.

“We are replacing teachers who served in UKS for a while because there are parents of students who want to meet him.”

Miyuki explained it to both of us.

“You two are too, why are you two here?”

Lina looked at both of us very seriously.

“They both want to sleep here, just look at their eyes and face both Rin. They were like undead that had just been resurrected.”

Isn't that too much to think of us as Miyuki's undead.

“True once.”

Me and Maul immediately slept on the bed that was there. Incidentally there are no other students who are in the UKS, and UKS only has two mattresses. This is a very profitable coincidence for us.

Uahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Comfortably, it has been a long time since I felt the pleasure on my shoulders when I touched the mattress.

“Are you working on something now?”

“Yup.”

“Do not force yourself Ar.”

“Just relax, my job is done and I won't be staying up like this again.”

“What is the work you do?”

Miyuki asked the two of us.

“It's secret.”

Saying to him.

“From yesterday you two always kept this a secret to me. Who gave this job to you? Government institutions? Or the secret agent who made us not to know.”

Miyuki was annoyed at not getting the answer she wanted.

Actually there is nothing wrong if we tell him because it is counted as a promotion as well so that many people download it. But I was more comfortable saying this when the app was released and there was a real form that people could see.

“You just wait for Miyuki, when the work we are working on is released, it will be big news.”

Maul told him.

“Mooo! You two are too convoluted. Just look, I'll find her myself later.”

I ignored Miyuki and tried to fall asleep. Because our time here is not much, just until the break.

The fun!! Maybe if I don't stay up like this, I never feel the name favors sleeping in bed.
