The Winter Promise

The Winter Promise
Chapter 77: People Bother Who Always Do Good.



“You didn't invite anyone right?”


I confirmed it again to Riki about it. Since Riki always did things I didn't tell her to do, I was worried that she would invite others to come to the place to eat as well. Not that I'm stingy or anything, I don't have much money right now.


“Quiet only.”


When I got there, I looked at the place to eat while taking a deep breath. At that time I still hope that what Riki said is true and that there is no one in there. But when I opened the place to eat, it turns out there already Miyuki, Rina, Yoshida, Kichida, Takeshi, and Rian.


“Why is everything here?”


I immediately looked towards them with a limp look.


“You rest easy Mar, Miyuki who prepared this all.”


“What?”


“I've rented this place to eat specifically for you Mar, so just relax the cost problem.”


Miyuki immediately pulled my hand into the dining room.


Is he crazy? Renting this place to eat just for me? I think our relationship is just a friend, why did he do it like this?


“Stay I'm not good with you.”


“You don't have to worry about that.”


“Already Ar, quickly sit.”


“When did you find out today was my birthday?”


I asked Miyuki.


“I found out from Maul, yesterday she told me that today you are birthday.”


Turns out that guy... I also immediately imagined the face of Maul who was laughing right now.


As I was imagining Maul's annoying face, Maul arrived at the place to eat and approached us all.


“Oh you all have come here.”


“Mul! Why did you tell this to Miyuki!”


I look at Maul in annoyance now.


“Already, if the birthday is more fun if enjoyed with many people.”


And he just smiled looking back at me.


“You should know how I'm currently doing Mul.”


“It's not necessary that you think about it for now, now it's better we party. Come girls, take out the dishes!”


Maul was very excited when the birthday was me.


I haven't celebrated birthdays with my friends for so long. Usually I only celebrate with Maul, Riki, and my family, even I rarely celebrate birthdays with Nadira since he entered the boarding school.


Miyuki also took out a birthday cake that seemed to me. The cake seems to be made of chocolate with some strawberries. On the cake I also saw my name and my age is fifteen.


“Did you also prepare this?”


I asked Miyuki who had just put a birthday cake in front of me.


“That's.”


“Kue it was made by Miyuki and Rina herself.”


So this is a homemade cake? I'm impressed they'll make this just for me. It seems like sometime I will repay the kindness from them. Yep... That's if the money from my job with Mr. Hari is liquid.


“Then where did you keep that cake during school? It is impossible if you keep it in class.”


Because if he really put that cake in class, I'm really embarrassed.


“I left it to the canteen mom.”


“Means that when Rina was late during the break, it also had something to do with the birthday cake that was there?”


“True once.”


I really don't know what else to talk about because of this. Am I moved? I don't think so, Dad... If you buy honestly, I'm a little happy to get this from my friends. Especially from Miyuki whom I've always considered troublesome. It seems that I really have to change my point of view to him because of what he has done to me right now.


“Have it been, than we talk a lot better we start partying. Everything, One... Two.. Three...”


“AMAR! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!”


“Otanjobi omedeto.”


Uh! So it's a birthday wish in Japanese.


“Thank you all.”


It's a shame that I said that, especially in front of Takeshi and Miyuki at the moment. Ahhhh shit, this is why I don't want to celebrate birthdays with my friends.


“Amar shy!”


Why of all the people here, Miyuki said that.


“Of course, SMK children should not do this anymore.”


“Ayo Mar, now cut the cake.”


I also started cutting the cake made by Rina and Miyuki. So far, I feel that the cake they made is very soft and not hard, because I can cut it very easily. Let's see how it feels later, hopefully it feels the same as it looks.


“You don't want to blow out the candles and make a request first Mar?”


Miyuki took out candles and matches from her skirt pouch.


“Can this make my request definitely granted?”


I asked Miyuki.


“Not really.”


“Then what to do, we better immediately eat the cake. It is unfortunate if this keu is left too long, later it feels bad hunting.”


“But it is one of the traditions when birthday.”


“Even if it is not done, it does not mean that the person does not get older right?”


“The strange thoughts of Amar appear again.”


Miyuki finally gave up and let me cut the cake to share it with the people present here.


“Try you first eat the cake Ar.”


“Good, I'll try.”


I also tried the cake made by Miyuki and Rina. When I tried it, it turned out that the cake tasted really good, I admit that this cake is really good. I can feel the taste of chocolate that is very felt and also on the inside of the cake there is a liquid chocolate that melts when entering the mouth. I don't know if they did it on purpose or not, but it makes the cake taste even more, and also I felt the sour sweetness that came from the strawberry jam that was in the middle of the cake layer.


I didn't know they could make it like this. They should just make a cake shop, I think their cake shop will sell later.


“How does Mar feel?”


Miyuki and Rina are waiting for my answer.


“It... Yummy!”


“Ah, you are coy again Mar!”


Miyuki said to me.


“Already you all, you better eat this cake too. Please... Please..”


I told them all to eat the cake.


“Enak!”


“Iya this is delicious.”


“You two are great once.”


Everyone who was there agreed that the cake tasted really good. My tongue is not wrong because I often taste a lot of food when I was invited by my parents to go to eat at the mall. I also often cook my own food, so at least I know which food is good and which food is not good.


“This gift for you Mar!”


Miyuki gave me a birthday present.


“This is from me.”


So Yoshida.


“This is my reply for your gift yesterday Ar.”


And also Rina.


“This gift from me Mar.”


I also got a gift from Kichida. I don't think anyone will give me a Hadia today. I don't think they need to give me a gift, just celebrating my birthday like this is enough for me.


I also keep the gifts in my bag. It's a good thing I didn't have many books with me today, so I can keep them in my bag.


“Where is your gift Mul?”


I'm a gift to Maul who's enjoying a birthday cake.


“I also joined a joint venture to rent this place to eat and you still ask me for a gift? That's outrageous Mar.”


Oh so he's also in the joint venture, I guess Miyuki's the one who rented this place to eat.


“Thank you Mul.”


“That's no problem.”


“This gift from me Mar.”


Riki gave me a small box that was wrapped in wrapping paper. When I opened the gift that Riki had given me, there was only a piece of paper on it that said 'Thank you for the food,'.


“What is this retaliation for last year?”


“Yup.”


So last year I gave Riki the same gift he gave me now. But the next day when I was at school, I bought it at recess.


“Sorry Mar I didn't buy you a gift. I didn't know it was your birthday today, I just found out when Miyuki told me about the break.”


Rian apologized to me.


“Just calm Yan, I didn't expect that much kok.”


“What after this you will go directly to Mar's office?”


Ask Rian.


“Iya, I'm going there to see the interns who have entered the office. I'd also like to see if there's any work I can do or not.”


“Does that mean you are already a permanent worker there Ar?”


“Maybe.”


“Great once you have got a job while still sitting in SMK Sawah Besar Ar.”


“Don't if you become a permanent worker there, it will disturb your school?”


Yoshida was still playing the strawberries he left on his little plate.


“It seems not, because now there are interns who help me in working, so my job is much lighter than before.”


Even though the lightness they gave made me unable to do anything.


“How can you make that app Mul? I think in class I haven't been taught the material to make the application. I heard from my upperclassmen that in third grade I made a new app taught.”


Rian immediately asked Maul.


“I've received an application creation job when in Junior High. So I've been making this kind of app since SMP.”


“What is it that you also make?”


“No, if it was Amar who made it.”


“Indeed in multimedia majors are also taught about web?”


Now Rian asked me.


“In the multimedia department only learn the look only, the rest we do not learn it.”


“Isn't it just learned in second grade?”


Riki who had finished her birthday cake immediately joined our conversation.


“Yes, maybe this is too soon for me to learn. Actually I also do not want to learn this before the teacher explained it in class, but because my job told me to learn about it, so inevitably I learned it.”


“I don't imagine how I should type so many codes.”


Kichida was already dizzy when he thought about the codes he had to write to create a web.


“It was very interesting when typing things like that, especially when there was a problem. I love playing with logic.”


“I just saw someone else doing it alone has made me dizzy let alone do it myself.”


I saw Kichida right now just like me when I first heard about the program. I also initially didn't like to memorize so much code to create a web design, but I could memorize it for a long time.


“If web design learned in multimedia may be just the basics, so not too dizzy like what you imagine Kichida.”


Maul also began to talk about the matter.


“I hope what you say is true Mul.”


Kichida began to feel relieved after hearing the words from Maul.


“By the way what is studied in pharmacy department?”


Riki asked Rina, Kichida, and Takeshi who were from the pharmaceutical department.


“We are mostly still learning about ipa lessons in general such as physics, chemistry, and biology, but this time more practice only.”


“Of course, because it's SMK. If you go to high school, you might learn more about his theory.”


Maul told Rina.


“Oh yes, soon held pension in SMK Sawah big, I can't wait for it.”


Miyuki immediately changed the topic.


Retired huh? Do I have to go in or not? If I can't go in, I want to rest for the day.


“Who are the guest stars to be invited approximately yes?”


“I heard from the upperclassmen in my exkul, if later there are rap singers and DJs who are currently famous in cyberspace.”


Heee... Lina knows a lot about it.


“When you retire later we are required to enter?”


“It looks like we are not obligated to it.”


“Really it's Rik! Then I can rest later.”


I was so happy when I heard that.


“How to retire in an Indonesian school usually? Because I only know the cultural festival in my school first.”


Also true.. This is the first time Miyuki has attended an art show held at an Indonesian school. But after I visited the cultural festival at Miyuki school first, it was no different from the pension that was in SMK Sawah Besar later.


“The arts and cultural festival held at Miyuki school used to be not much different, but usually the students are not required to make a show in each class.”


Rina explained it to Miyuki.


“Means the students did not participate anything in the pension?”


“If students can participate by performing to fill out a show on stage or open a booth there, but it is not required.”


Add Riki to complete the explanation from Rina.


“Oh so, now I understand.”


“It looks like later Mr. Hari will tell us to open the booth when the pension was.”


Said Maul while thinking of something.


“Is that true?”


“When is the right time to market our application, and it should not be missed.”


“And I want to vacation on that day.”


“As long as Mr. Day does not suggest it, surely Mr. Febri will advise him to us to open a booth there.”


I think the existence of a direct promotion at such an event is indeed necessary in order to increase the number of people who download our application.


“It looks like you were right Mul.”


“When that happens, I'll help you buddy! Coincidentally back then I had not gone to Makasasar for O2SN.”


Riki immediately embraced me and said that with a wide smiling face. I know he wants the pay for it. If indeed Mr. Hari has paid me, maybe I will pay Riki when helping me later.


“Then I was counting on you back then Rik.”


Fortunately there is Riki, so I do not have to worry about spending a lot of energy to take care of the needs in the booth later.


“Excuse me, here's the order.”


The servants from the place of eating came to bring food that was not ordered at all by Amar. The waiters put the food on the table one by one. I was just speechless not to comment seeing that, but at least I didn't have to pay for this.
