The Winter Promise

The Winter Promise
Chapter 84: Me, Irfan, And The One Who Sucks.



Soon in my school will be held performing arts or often abbreviated as pension, all students in school are very waiting for the pension because a lot of excitement that will occur there. But it was youth, I don't know if I can accept that easily or not. Because I'm not so used to anything that has to do with youth, when I was young myself.


It's weird!


Right now I'm heading to the lab to meet with Mr. Febri, he said there's something he wants to talk about. I think I already know what he wants to talk to me about, of course about retirement. Because this pension is one of our opportunities to promote our application to people. When a lot of people come to see the show displayed, they will also visit the booths in the pension.


“Excuse.”


I opened the lab door and found Mr. Febri on the computer where he used to play games. I also know that he is currently playing a game of his movement.


“Woah! Great also.”


I also saw Mr. Febri's game.


“You've come Mar.”


Mr. Febri continues to continue his game, because in the game he plays can not be stopped unilaterally.


“What do you want to talk about?”


“There will soon be a retirement event at SMK Sawah Besar and I would like to advise you to open a booth at the event to market the Comic Universe.” application


As I thought before.


“Then how can I set up a booth there? I know that registering a booth on behalf of a company like this goes into sponsorship.”


“Hehe.. I have called Hari to register her application as a sponsor at SMK Sawah Besar pension earlier, and Hari has also agreed to it. You just make the proposal for the show and hand it over to OSIS, I think they'll take it.”


Make a proposal yes.... I've never made anything administrative like that.


“Good.”


Maybe I'll get Maul to do it, I'm sure she'll do it without me asking.


Then I went straight to Maul who is currently in her class. I waved from outside the classroom to get her to me. I don't want to go into someone else's class because I think when I get in there all the views will be on me, and I don't like it very much.


Maul saw me and she came straight to me.


“What's Mar?”


“So I just talked to Mr. Febri about retirement, he also asked us to set up a booth there.”


“That's a good idea, I also know that Mr. Febri will definitely advise you on this.”


“But I don't know how to make a proposal to submit a sponsor. Can you make it?”


“Send that to me.”


Good, he wants to work on it.


“I thank you for it.”


“When did you submit the proposal to OSIS?”


“I think tomorrow.”


“Ok, later after school I will give the proposal to you so that it can be directly signed by Mr. Hari.”


As I expected from Maul, she works very fast.


“OK, I'm counting on you buddy.”


After talking about it, I went back to my class to rest. But when I got there, I saw Miyuki sitting in my chair and talking to Kichida there.


“What are you doing here?”


I also approached Miyuki who was busy talking there.


“I want to talk to Kichida for a while, why Mar?”


“Do you need to sit in my chair too?”


“I only see your seat is empty at this time.”


It seems like it's better that I go to the cafeteria, I wish Riki was still there with the other class.


“Where are you Mar?”


“I want to go to the canteen.”


***


This time I went to the cafeteria for the first time.


I saw there were still many students who ate there, but it was already noon but there were still some who ate here.


Little information, in my school there are two hours of rest. The first is the break I used to spend, the first break occurred at half nine to nine. And the second is the hour of rest that is used for the students and teachers to perform the prayer of the nobility, and it happens at twelve hours less fifteen to half an hour.


“Yo Amar!”


I also saw Irfan who greeted me and he was gathering with his friends.


“Who is Fan?”


“She Amar, my teammate back in the basketball club first.”


“Oh I know him, he's a new kid whose basketball skills were so great during MOS.”


I looked carefully at the person who said that, and it turned out that he was the referee of the game during the basketball game at MOS.


Then his friends Irfan rained on me so many questions that I was confused as to which one I had to answer, but on average they talked a lot about Miyuki and Rina. They turned out to be quite famous among the upperclassmen as well.


“Are you having a fight with your girlfriend Mar?”


“Pacar? I don't have that kind of thing.”


“You don't lie, everyone at this school knows that the beautiful Japanese pharmacy student is your girlfriend.”


“Hah!?”


Who is the one who spreads such things?


“My relationship with him is just a friend no more.”


“You don't cover it up Mar, just tell me the truth.”


“Make whatever I cover up that is not true at all.”


“By the way how are they all doing? Do you still play basketball together?”


Irfan also diverted his talk. I'm grateful that Irfan isn't a person who likes to talk about it.


“They are fine, we still play basketball together every weekend.”


“I'd love to play with you guys again.”


“Then how is the selection for its O2SN?”


“You don't have to worry about that problem, this school has a lot of great-great players. In fact we have won all the matches and just wait to leave for Makassar.”


“I'm so glad to hear that.”


Riki also soon want to go to Makassar to follow the O2SN match.


“And I wish you were in basketball.”


“No me this basketball team is strong, especially if I join.”


“Of course we will be an unbeaten basketball team.”


He's overrated. If we talk about O2SN, then, surely my friends who used to join my old basketball club also took part in the game because our age is not much different and also they are all on following the basketball club at their respective schools.


“You were too overrated in praising me Fan.”


“You're still the greatest shooting guard I've ever met, no more.”


“Is she as good as Fan?”


Ask one of his friends.


“Actually his ability in basketball is almost the same as most people, and there may be some whose ability to beat him, but the way he takes decisions and the strategy he has is very unique. That's what makes him strong.”


“I told you I'm not that good.”


“Heee... So you're saying that your skills are dull?”


Brother Irfan immediately stood up and approached me.


“If it is of course not.”


“How about we fight for a while? Coincidentally the entry hours are still long.”


“By the way, I have not fought you for a long time.”


We went straight to the gym to play.


Now I dare to accept Irfan's challenge because it is past Ramadan and I have enough strength to fight it.


“What will we bet?”


Brother Irfan started dribbling his basketball.


“How about food in the canteen?”


“Why soto?”


“That's all the food I thought of.”


“Ok.”


It seemed that his foolish nature was still inside him. I guess after he entered SMK, his stupid nature has disappeared.


The rules of this match are easy. We use only one ring, and anyone who can put the ball into the ring three times, he is the winner.


I also played basketball very fiercely, he could always keep up with my movements wherever I ran.


Initially only a few people who watched the game, but as time went on more and more people also watched the game.


And finally the fierce match ended with a draw.


“Your throw is still as great as ever.”


Irfan sat in the middle of the field to recover his energy.


the “Drive you did was terrible and unstoppable as well.”


I tried to set my breath back to normal.


“What we series?”


“That's.”


Huh! Even though when receiving this match I was not so sure if I could beat Irfan because I always lost to him, it seems that my ability has also developed.


I also want to go back to my class.


“Great once you!”


A lot of people praised me when I walked out of the gym.


“As usual you always attract people's attention yes.”


Riki walked up to me from the crowd.


“Do you see it?”


“Of course, I've seen it since the game started.”


“I didn't know it would be crowded like this.”


I also looked at the crowd that was there, the crowd finally approached Irfan who was still sitting in the middle of the field.


When we entered the gym there were only a few students there.


“Great once you can hold Kak Irfan series like that.”


“It was just a coincidence.”


Just a few steps I walked, I met Yoshida and Takeshi who seemed like they were also watching the match.


“You are so great Mar, I saw you from the sidelines.”


“Thank you!”


“I hate to admit it but your cast is so great.  Was it against me that you deliberately held back?”


“Why?”


“I feel that your game against me is very different against Kak Irfan earlier.”


Of course because when I was against me it was just a shooting match, whereas with Irfan I had a one-on-one match. When fighting Takeshi also when I was content, so I could not spend all my energy for it.


“I just focus more.”


“Then you underestimate me Mar!”


Huh! I don't know what this guy wants. Whatever I say to him is always wrong.


“Someday I will definitely beat you!”


Takeshi pointed at me and then he left me. To be honest I would love to end this with Takeshi, it is very troublesome if Takeshi is like this continuously.


When I got to class, it turned out that Miyuki was still there and she was still talking to Kichida as well.


“Until when do you want to stay here?”


I rebuked him for the second time today.


“Of course until the bell rings.”


Though I said that so that he would quickly leave my stool and I could sit there, but it seemed that it was incomprehensible to Miyuki.


“Why are you so sweaty once Mar, What did you just do?”


“I finished competing with Irfan in the sports building earlier.”


“Really? Ah why don't I watch that game!”


Miyuki felt annoyed that she had left something so valuable in her opinion.


“Then the result?”


“The result is series.”


Said Riki who had prepared the next textbook on his desk.


“It's great that you can compete in balance with the basketball captain of this famous school that is great.”


Kichida praised that to me.


“Indeed from the beginning Amar was as great as Kak Irfan, I already knew it.”


Although I was being praised there but Riki was proud of it.


I also saw Kichida and Natasha who were there, I saw that they seemed to be close. I think Natasha told Kichida everything.


“You guys look closer now.”


“That's how, thank you Amar!”


Kichida thanks me.


“I didn't do anything.”


“That's him! words that Amar often issued when helping people.”


Miyuki also persuaded me and made me blush in shame because of my nature that had been guessed by MIyuki. I sat down on the empty chair behind me.


Teng... Teng... Teng... Teng....


“Then I went back to class. See you when you get home from school.”


Miyuki left the class and I sat in my chair.


Miyuki's arrival and departure is completely like a storm, she can make a fuss as it comes and make a silence when leaving.


“What pension will you set up a booth?”


Riki asked me.


“Yes, do you want to help?”


“Of course, I'll help you until the retirement takes place.”


Riki looked at me and I found out he wanted something.


“I'll pay you.”


“Yeah! You always know what I want Mar, I'm happy it.”


Looks like Mr. Hari will also give us bonus money for that as well. But who will take care of the station? I can't promote anything in front of people, let alone in front of a crowd. If only I could have Miyuki and Rina stand guard at the booth, it might be able to attract the attention of the people visiting the booth later.


It seems like it's not a bad idea either.


“I'd love to fill the show on that stage.”


Riki put his head on the surface of the table.


“Why don't you just do it? If you want to do that just say to OSIS only.”


“Member Mar? I don't have a member to make a band.”


“You just make your own band.”


“That's a great idea, I'll look for its members.”


Riki looked at me and I knew what he wanted this time.


“I won't join in that band.”


“Sweetest one!”
