The Winter Promise

Chapter 85: Building A Strong Argument.

I was walking into a room that was the room I avoided the most. Yep.. That room is the OSIS room. Maybe you know that OSIS in my school used to run improperly which makes the name of OSIS fall in the eyes of the students, but it makes my view of all OSIS in the whole school the same. I assume all OSIS are the same.

I also arrived in front of the OSIS room with two large doors in front of me. I hold a proposal that has been made by Maul and also signed by Mr. Hari to be given to OSIS.

Breathe in... Eject... Come on, I can do it.

I opened the door and began to step into the room. then I saw a lot of OSIS members who were there were busy with their respective affairs to take care of pension needs.

So this is how OSIS works when it's nearing art day.

“Amar! What do you want to do here?”

Brother Alvin who was sitting in his chair saw me, he stood up and approached me.

“I want to apply for a sponsor. Why is today so busy?”

I still look at all the members of OSIS who are there, about twenty or eighteen of them, anyway a lot.

“Indeed like this if you want to approach the day H. Come sit duli Mar!”

Me and Alvin sat on the couch in the OSIS room. Looks like this sofa is indeed reserved for people who visit the OSIS room. But what are they visiting here for?

“So what sponsor do you want to apply for it?”

“Maybe you can see it for yourself.”

I also gave the proposal that was in my hands to Brother Alvin and he saw the contents of the proposal.

“COMIC UNIVERSE?!”

Alvin was surprised when he read the proposal that made all the attention of the members of OSIS in there lead to him.

“What's the chairman?”

There are some members of OSIS who approached Kak Alvin.

“Nothing, you can resume your work.”

Hearing that from Alvin made all the members of OSIS resume their work.

It turns out that the position as chairman of OSIS is the same as the leader in a company. He was not much different from Mr. Hari when in the office.

“Why can you sponsor Comic Universe Mar, do you have a sister or relative who works there?”

“That's.”

It would be troublesome if I had to explain it here right now.

“Ciiiiiii..”.

Brother Alvin also looked at me seriously, I also tried to calm myself by looking around.

“Ciiii..”.

For a long time that gaze made me groggy and became nervous.

“Ah! Can you stop that?”

“I feel awkward here Mar. I won't approve it before you tell me what really happened.”

It's a crime, he's using his power to extort information from me. I'll report this to the students later. Cool out! I'm just kidding, there's no way I would do something like that.

“Alright! I work there.”

“I've guessed.”

Shortly after, Brother Fauzi who had just arrived at the OSIS room immediately approached the two of us and joined us.

“How are you Mar?”

“Alhamdulillah good.”

“What are you doing here Mar?”

“I just want to provide a sponsorship proposal to retire later.”

“What sponsor did you propose?”

Brother Fauzi immediately saw the proposal put by Kak Alvin on the table.

“COMIC UNIVERSE!”

Did I just see deja vu?

“I was expecting you to express like that.”

“Why can you apply for sponsorship from the popular comic app Mar?”

Kak Fauzi asked me, he was still shocked by what he saw.

“I work there?”

“As what?”

“I work there as editor.”

“It's great that you've worked in a company this big even though you were in school. Of all the OSIS that are here alone none have worked.”

Brother Fauzi does not know what really happened, the company owned by Mr. Hari is not as big as they think. I also can't say that I'm one of the superiors there, if I say that it could be this one room would be very excited.

“I agree to the sponsor you provide.”

“Really it! I guess it's full for sponsorship submissions as it's approaching H.” day

“Let's just relax, if for sponsors we never close it until the day before H.”

“Thank you.”

Looks like I'll have to report this news to Mr. Hari.

“We should be the ones thanking you.”

“Oh yes, later we will also open a booth when pension.”

“I will prepare a place for your booth later.”

“How can you work there Mar?”

Ask Brother Fauzi to me.

“I was given a job by Mr. Febri, happened to be his friend working there.”

I also can't say that his friend Mr. Febri owns the company. If I said it, everyone in this room would be even more shocked.

“Pak Febri is a famous teacher who often gives jobs to his students. That's why he's quite famous among the students.”

“You all want to drink what?”

Ayu came to us and offered us a drink.

“Bikin just tea for us.”

Ayu went to provide it.

“How does it feel to work there?”

Brother Fauzi was very excited to ask about it.

“At first it was hard, but now it is easier because there are some employees working there, so my job is much lighter.”

“At first? When did you work there?”

Brother Alvin narrowed his eyes and looked at me suspiciously again.

Ah shit! I was wrong to speak this time.

“I worked there a few weeks before the release of the app, and back then not many people worked there.”

“Oh so.”

Huh! Thank goodness he didn't ask any further.

“It's not still another two years for Kak Fauzi to feel that?”

“If in the second semester later, second graders for one semester will run fieldwork practices or commonly abbreviated as PKL.”

So I'll do that in second grade too. Is the workplace determined by the school or can it search for itself? I wish I could find it myself.

“If I were in the multimedia department, maybe I would try to apply at Comic Universe for an internship there.”

Hee... So we can choose, thank goodness then. I could work at my current job.

“Indeed where we intern should fit our majors?”

“It does not matter if working in different majors, but because this is to learn how later in the world of work, so it is better if it suits the respective majors.”

I know a lot about talking here with Brother Alvin and Brother Fauzi.

“What school does not help its students find their workplace?”

I asked to go back to them both.

“Of course the school is looking for it, and the school already has connections to several companies for that, but if the student wants to find his own job it is allowed.”

It seems I don't have to bother thinking about where I should PKL later.

Ayu sister came and served the tea she had made to me and the others. He also joined our conversation.

“Are you guys talking about Comic Universe? In my class also many of my friends who read comics there.”

I suspect that Maul did put all the ads on all the phones of students in this school considering that he had done that to my cell phone. For a person like Maul, it's possible.

“Oh yes, among second and third graders there is a rumor circulating about this application.”

I feel something is wrong here. Do I need to get out of here? But if I do that, Brother Alvin and Brother Fauzi will realize that I escaped. Looks like I'll be here and try to see what the rumors are about.

“What rumor is it?”

Alvin became curious.

“There was a third-grader who had seen Mr. Febri checking comics in the Comic Universe while visiting and Mr. Febri said that he helped his friend in making the application.”

Mr Febri! Why are you saying such things and also why are you doing them in school!

“Whose friend is Mr Febri?”

Brother Fauzi is getting curious and Brother Alvin is watching my movements. I'm trying to look as calm as possible here.

“If according to rumors anyway if his friend Mr. Febri is the owner of the company Comic Universe.”

Until now I was curious about the person who spread the rumors. Because from the beginning I went to this school the rumors that circulated always correspond to the facts that happened, usually if the rumors were fake news made by someone.

I think I should investigate this guy to stop him. If this continues, my calmness in school here can be disturbed.

“Is there anything you can explain here Mar?”

Alvin looked at me seriously.

“What should I explain?”

“You must know something about this. Do you also help Mr Febri in making this application?”

Alvin's sister is starting to suspect, it's time for me to have a tongue-lick.

“There may be a school student like me helping to make such an application, let alone having to be accompanied by a school. It's too heavy for me and maybe my grades could drop because of doing the job.”

“Is that so?”

Brother Febri started talking, I'm sure he has something that can break my argument.

“I know that lately you and Maul always sleep in UKS when resting.”

It made me pause for a moment and think about other arguments.

“Why does Brother Fauzi know that?”

“I am a member of exkul PMR, and I always see a list of people who always visit UKS and your names are always there.”

Shit! I don't think of such a possibility. Ah I found a way to solve all this.

“You can't say that you just want to sleep there Mar. I know that you can't do something like that many times. You must be working on something that makes you so tired that you need to recover your energy so you can concentrate when the teacher is explaining it.”

It's not bad your observation, Alvin, but I'll still win here.

“Tell us the real Mar!”

I started glancing around and there were some OSIS members watching our conversation. If I get it wrong to speak, there could be other strange rumors that appear.

“If you do not believe, you can see what date Maul and I often come to UKS. The dates are very close to the release of the application, if only I had made the application, I should have been to UKS since the beginning of the creation of the application and should have happened two to three months ago.”

“Where do you know that the app was made in about two to three months?”

Brother Alvin kept telling me the truth.

“If you have friends who know how to make an app, you can ask them. At that time I just asked Maul and she said the fastest time a programmer can do is so much.”

Brother Alvin and Brother Fauzi started thinking about my words, the more they thought about my words it meant victory was already mine.

“And also me and Maul worked at Comic Universe a few weeks before the release of the app. That's why I always spend time in the UKS to rest, because at that time Mr. Febri asked for our help because they were short of people. So Maul and I were a little involved in making the application, I just helped them and our contract was only as interns.”

Alvin looked at me deeply, as if he still suspected me.

“I surrender! Everything you say makes sense and I don't find one thing that's awkward from what you say.”

Finally Alvin surrendered.

“Then why did you bring the sponsorship proposal?”

“I was only told by Mr. Febri to hand it over to you, because Mr. Febri was busy and could not do it himself.”

“Then your post there?”

“I am only as an apprentice.”

Although there is a special addition behind it.

“Indeed to submit a sponsorship proposal should the person who has an important position? Isn't everything that is needed has been explained in the sponsor without needing to be explained again.”

“I also gave up! Looks like we're overreacting in suspecting Amar.”

Actually, if you look more carefully, there is an important thing that makes everyone believe from my words above.

At that time I told them that ‘I and Maul were working there a few weeks before the release of the app was’.

Watch that sentence!

There I did not say at all that ‘I and Maul started working there a few weeks before the release,’, but I just mentioned that ‘I and Maul worked there before the interview, but I just mentioned that I and Maul worked there,’.

Though it is a trivial thing and can not make people believe just like that, but the data provided by Kak Fauzi who said that ‘Aku and Maul often go to UKS to sleep there,’ that makes Kak Alvin and Kak Fauzi only focused with the word ‘a few weeks before the release,’.

That's because their brains are matching one information with another information, let alone it happens very quickly. As long as you know where the important points they are looking for, you can easily mess with their minds.

“How valuable are you when you're working there, isn't it hard to balance it with school?”

Ask Brother Alvin to me.

“Quietly, because I'm just an intern so my job is not so much.”

“So, get excited in working!”

“Yup!”

Actually what Brother Alvin said just now is a trap for me as well. If it wasn't like this, I'd say that my grade didn't drop because from the start I was aiming for an average. But since the condition is like this, I can't say it frankly like that.

Because it would tear down the arguments I had built up earlier.

Well.. For this kind of thing I don't think anyone can beat me yet.
