The Winter Promise
Chapter 87: Say No to Physical Work!
Huh! Why should I do this too...
“Mar please bring the box here.”
I hate this job.
My name is Amarul Ihsan, I am only fifteen years old and I just had a birthday not too long ago. There's one thing I want to say to all of you, besides hating about something as illogical as love, I don't really like physical work like this either.
Today is the H-1 before the retirement event starts. Right now I am together with Maul, Riki, and Rian are flocking to set up a booth that will be used for tomorrow's event. In addition to them, Mr. Hari also sent some of his employees from the office to help me in setting up the booth. Brother Malik is also here to help decorate his stall.
“Kak Malik!”
I also approached Malik who was giving decorations at the back of the booth.
“What's Mar?”
“Don't tell the people in this school about me and Maul if someone asks about us yes!”
“What's the reason?”
“In this school no one knows if I work in Comic Universe and they also do not know my position there, there are only a few people. So please don't let anyone know and this spreads to everything.”
I also close my hand to beg Malik.
“Make what hidden? Isn't that a proud thing. Although still a school but has a good position in a company.”
“It is true, but I don't want to be troubled by the questions raised by people who know that I work there.”
“Hahaha... Ok, I'll do as you say.”
Malik laughed a little while listening to my words.
“Oi Mar! Don't just talk, movement is also your hand.”
I was scolded by Maul who was also busy installing the roof of the booth we set up.
“I checked this booth first.”
I also went away from the booth and saw the booth from a distance whether there was less or not, as much as I could make a booth that could attract visitors there.
I think it's better if I watch him while squatting.
“What are you doing here Mar? You don't work?”
Mr. Febri suddenly appeared beside me with a bottle of water in his hand.
“This I'm working.”
“What work?”
“I'm watching if there's anything lacking in the stall or not.”
“Say you don't want to work.”
“Looks like I got caught.”
I got up and put my clothes on.
“Stance is good too, who decorates the booth?”
Ask Mr. Febri while paying attention to the booth which is currently in position soon so.
“Kak Malik and some employees from the office who decorated the booth.”
“Good work.”
“What Mr Febri just finished meeting?”
I looked towards the map he had attached to his left arm.
“Iya, I'm out of a meeting to talk about retirement tomorrow with the teachers.”
“About how many people are coming tomorrow?”
“If you see from the pre-order tickets that have been sold out, maybe about five thousand people who will come to this event.”
Five grand?! I can consider that number a lot, but I think that the amount compared to the main field of SMK Sawah Besar, still looks a little.
“Is that much included?”
“Of course, for the size of the school pension such amount is already a lot.”
“Not this school field can still accommodate more people.”
“Indeed this school field can accommodate people twice the pre order tickets sold, but it is impossible for us to sell tickets to meet this field. Later too many visitors and even jostling.”
“True also.”
But I don't think it's a problem, when following the cultural festival at Miyuki's school, the number of visitors who come there is also quite a lot and in the main field we have to jostle to watch the shows displayed there.
“The head of the school wants to make the visitors can enjoy the concert freely, besides that the main field is also used to set up a booth. So that amount is enough not to mention if anyone buys his tickets on the spot.”
“What are the number of tickets on the spot sold?”
“Setauku we only sell two thousand tickets only, because usually people who buy tickets on the spot is very rare.”
Right now, the field was already standing on a very large stage. I also saw a poster installed behind the stage, there is a photo of the guest star who will fill the pension event tomorrow.
“How famous are guest stars to be invited tomorrow?”
“It seems quite famous, I myself have never heard a single song from the rapper, even I just found out about the rapper when the teachers were busy talking about it for retirement.”
I didn't think Mr. Febri was the same as me. I guess I'm the only one who doesn't know about that guy, because the rest is all busy talking about him. It was just me who was unable to join the conversation because I had absolutely no idea about it, fortunately there was the same person as me.
When the two of us were talking, even Malik who had finished decorating the booth approached us.
“Good afternoon Sir!”
Brother Malik greeted Mr. Febri kindly.
“Good afternoon, how is it?”
“Alhamdulillah well, dress it... What are you teaching here?”
Malik noticed the clothes Mr. Febri was wearing.
“Iya, I teach in this school as a multimedia teacher.”
“I just found out, Mr. Hari never said it at all. He just said that Mr. Febri was doing another job.
“Malik! Where should I put these boxes?”
Ask an employee who was helping us.
“Oh for that you can put it in the class that I have prepared earlier. Let's follow me.”
Then it looks like I have to get out of here so I won't be told to lift those things, because I think they're very heavy. I can only know it from looking at it.
“Amar! You also help us.”
Said Mr. Febri with a slight smile.
I'm sure he knows what I'm planning. Damnit damnit! If it's like this I can't leave here. I guess I'll just pick up one cardboard and go somewhere to avoid being told to go again, yeah that's the right idea.
***
Huhhhhh... Huhhhhh... Huhhhhh... It was heavy with the stuff in this cardboard box.
“You look very objected Mar!”
Said Riki who was lifting the same cardboard as what I was lifting, but I did not see him exhausted at all. Basic Riki! He was indeed a monster, nothing could defeat his strength.
At that time, the one who lifted the cardboard was not only me and Riki, but Rian and Maul also helped us bring it so that the work would be finished quickly. It also happened that the booth was ready to use, so they could do another job.
“Of course, this cardboard is heavy once.”
“Really! I think the cardboard I brought is not too heavy, do you want to exchange the cardboard with my cardboard.”
“No thanks.”
Because I know that the cardboard Riki carries has the same weight as the cardboard I carry, so it's useless if we change it.
“I can't wait for tomorrow.”
Riki noticed the stage right next to us.
“I don't know how many visitors will come tomorrow.”
“I think coming will be a lot.”
Said Rian walking right beside Riki.
“The more people who come the better, there will also be many visitors who come to our booth to look around.”
“Rian, are you coming to school tomorrow?”
I asked Rian because I wanted to ask him for help as well to guard at the booth.
“It looks like I'm not in tomorrow.”
“Why?”
“I have an event tomorrow, so I can't come.”
“I thank you for helping us today Yan.”
“Sama-sama, I'm happy if I can help you.”
“Do you not give wages to Rian?”
Maul whispered to me.
“I'll give it later, there's no way I'll give it now.”
“Touch who will be on duty at the booth later?”
Riki asked me.
“I will have Miyuki and Rina serve visitors and Riki who serve as security but if it is crowded Riki can also help them serve visitors.”
“We need security too, not that it should be done by OSIS?"
Maul said to me.
“ Just in case, who knows there is one visitor who wants to do things to Rina and Miyuki, especially when it is crowded.”
“True also.”
“Since when have you cared about Rina and Miyuki Mar. Do you already have feelings for both of them?”
Riki looked at me with a stupid look.
“Don't say stupid, I just don't want to do anything troublesome tomorrow.”
“Even if you say it like that, but I'm sure that you definitely care about them.”
Riki still showed that stupid face.
“Yah maybe you were right.”
“If Miyuki hears this for sure she will smile and sneer Amar.”
Then Miyuki's face when I was hurting me crossed my mind which made me very annoyed.
“Why should you discuss that at this time.”
“By the way where is mareka?”
Maul asked me because she had not seen Rina and Miyuki after school.
“I told them to look for food for the people who work setting up the booth.”
“As I expected from a superior.”
Riki said with a small laugh.
“I've got a budget from Pak Hari for that matter, it's a pity if not used.”
Because if it is not used, I will have to return it, but Mr. Hari told me that the budget he gave must be exhausted.
“You should be able to save that money Mar if there is any rest.”
“Can't Mul, it's called corruption.”
Rian immediately lectured Maul after hearing that, actually Maul said it was only to ridicule Rian because Maul knew that Rian would definitely react with such talk.
Now I just need to follow Maul.
“Rian's right Mul, just talk to him Yan.”
“I know that too, just relax.”
We also put all the cardboard in the office car into the classroom to be stored in there before tomorrow's event.
After setting up the booth and moving things from the car to the classroom, I and the others ate the food that Miyuki and Rina had prepared.
“Because everything is done I want to leave first to return to the office with another.”
Malik said goodbye to me.
“Live home? Don't want to eat first.”
“We have eaten before here, besides if it is too late in the afternoon to be afraid of the traffic jam people go home to work.”
Speak to other employees.
“Thank you for helping us today.”
Amar and Maul thanked them.
“No problem anyway this is their work too, passion for tomorrow!”
Brother Malik cheers us on.
Mr. Malik and other employees returned to the office with the car they were carrying.
“I just saw Amar who behaved like a superior.”
Miyuki said while looking at me.
“Not that I've told you not to say that out loud here because not everyone knows it.”
Fortunately, not many people are in school because on average, they have gone home or are following their respective excretions.
“I'm sorry Mar.”
Miyuki also covered her mouth with both hands.
“Where are Kichida and Yoshida?”
Riki asked Rina.
“They both today are on an exkul schedule, so can't help.”
“Oh yes, tomorrow I would like to ask you both for help to serve the visitors who come to our booth. Do you two want?”
“Of course I want Mar!”
Miyuki immediately accepted the offer from me excitedly.
“I will tell you later Ar, because yesterday I was told by my upperclassman who is in the PMR excursion to be in the UKS tent, he said they lack people.”
“Alright, I'll wait for the answer.”
“Am I going to get paid later?”
Miyuki was very curious about it.
“Of course.”
“How much??”
His eyes grew brighter after finding out how to get paid for his work.
“Look at tomorrow.”
“Heee... I am very disappointed Mar, you have made me curious. At least tell me about how much?”
This woman is very troublesome when curious.
“Alright, I'll tell him. May be higher than the price of thirty bowls of soto that can be purchased in the canteen.”
The price of one soto bowl in the canteen was one hundred thousand and meant that thirty bowls amounted to three hundred thousand, indeed the fee I would give Miyuki was three hundred and fifty thousand rupiahs, indeed, and it wasn't just Miyuki. Rian, Rina, and Riki also get the same fee. Maybe I'll overstate him a little bit because he worked two days.
“What is the price of one bowl of soto?”
Miyuki asked Rina, it seems that she herself does not know the price of soto in the canteen.
“Ten thousand if not mistaken.”
“Means the pay I get is more than three hundred thousand. That's a lot of it, just like my snacks a week full.”
Oh! It is not that a snack of three hundred thousand a week is enough for a child SMK.
“What is not most Mar?”
Miyuki asked me.
“I've got a budget from Pak Hari that much, that's all I've shared again for three people.”
“Then I will fight hard for tomorrow!”
Miyuki was very excited.
“I too!”
And so is Riki.
“I count on all of you.”
And it's less than fifteen hours until the retirement starts.
