The Winter Promise

Chapter 90: Only Brother Friska Can Make Me Like This.

To celebrate the five hundred thousand downloaders of the Comic Universe, Mr. Hari intends to throw a small party at the office. I don't know if this party can be said to be small or not, but I consider it so because this party is held in the office.

After school, I and my other friends went to the office to attend the party.

“Big once!”

Rian said that while looking towards the building.

I wonder if everyone I first took to the office would say something like that or not.

“Come we enter.”

I also went to the receptionist to pick up the guest identification there so that they would not all be suspected when entering later. If me and Maul already have their own identification because we work

just there.

We headed to the elevator to go to the roof immediately because the party was held there.

“It's great that everyone at the reception desk and the security guard we passed by knew you Mar.”

Miyuki said to me.

“It's clear that they know me, me and Maul often go here to work. I also often talk to them when meeting on the roof even though it is just a greeting.”

“There are so many employees here, instead of this company just standing Mar.”

Riki looked at the passersby around the lobby earlier.

“That's because this building is used by two companies, Pak Hari rented it this building to add income from his company when he first made it, he just made it, after all we do not need many floors to accommodate employees.”

When we got on the roof, I could see a lot of people going to the party. I can see the decorations that have been installed there, I think the one who made the decorations at this party is Kak Malik, because the decoration touch is almost similar to the one in the booth when it was retired at that time.

I can also see Mr. Febri who has arrived there and talk to Mr. Hari.

“Mar! Mul! Here.”

Mr. Hari who had seen me and Maul came directly to call us to approach him.

We all went to see him.

“Are they all your friends Mar?”

Mr. Hari saw my friends walking behind me.

“Yes, because you called me on break and I was with all of them. So they heard our talk back then.”

“Good afternoon Sir!”

Everyone greeted Mr. Hari.

“You are not very polite with older people Ar!”

Lina who was right behind me immediately warned that.

“It's okay, I did tell Amar not to be too formal with me. Nor am I not a person who likes to be considered too high by others.”

Mr. Hari explained that to Rina.

“Oh yes Lik, this is my sister Natasha. Maybe a few times I've told you.”

Mr. Hari introduced Natasha to Mr. Malik.

“Include, my name is Malik. I am Mr. Hari's assistant, maybe some of you are familiar with me because at that time I had come to school to help Amar and others take care of pension needs.”

Malik introduced himself to us all.

“Maybe the introduction is enough, you all do not have to hesitate to take the food you want. If you want to drink something, you can order it to the barista who is there.”

Mr. Hari pointed towards the barista who seemed to be busy preparing the order by himself.

“Then, I go first to pick up something.”

Riki and Rian immediately left.

“We are also.”

“Hump!”

So did Kichida and Yoshida.

“We also Rin.”

“Iya..”

“It looks like I will follow Miyuki only.”

Rina and Miyuki instantly tried to blend in there and were followed by Takeshi.

“Are you sure it's okay to waste money like this?”

I approached Mr. Hari and whispered to him.

“Hahaha.. Take it easy, I'm doing this because I've calculated everything and all I'm putting out is just a small part of the income we get.”

“Then when will my payment go down.”

For a long time I had no income from the work I was doing. Mr. Febri also now rarely gives me a job anymore because he knows that I already have a permanent job.

“You don't have to worry Mar, I've calculated it all with the financial part this morning, and next month all your pay will go down from the moment you make your application to the monthly salary I have held all this time.”

Whoa! I can't wait as much as what money I will receive later, it's not in vain I waited a long time for this.

“It's been rather than discussing work, you better enjoy the party like your other friends.”

“Good.”

I approached one of the tables on which there was some kind of food there.

“Mar! Here a minute.”

Mr. Hari called me again.

It wasn't that he told me to go enjoy the party, why did he call me again now.

I went to Pak Hari with Maul.

“Are you called Mr Hari too?”

I asked Maul who was walking right beside me.

“Iya.”

“What does he want to talk about?”

“Entah.”

We also followed Mr. Hari who we both did not know where Mr. Hari was taking us.

“Everyone please take care of him for a moment!”

Mr. Hari also attracted all the attention of the people who were there. Now all eyes are on the three of us.

I honestly don't like this kind of situation.

“Maybe you have known that this company has four superiors who founded this company.”

Ah... I know where this conversation is going.

“And you all know Febri because you met him during the interview, but you don't know two other people at all. And now right beside me these are your other two superiors.”

When Mr. Hari said that, all the views that had been directed to Mr. Hari went straight towards the two of us. I'm so nervous what expression I have to show them right now, I'm not used to being of public concern like this.

“There must be many of you who do not know them because they only come to the office in the afternoon, precisely at the time of returning home from work because they have to go to school first. For that let's give a standing ovation to the two of them for the hard work they have both done.”

They all applauded Maul and Amar.

“Why do you have to do this?”

I immediately delivered a protest to Sir

Day of.

“Because a few days ago I just found out that there are so many employees who do not know about you two. Maybe who knows you are only those who often follow meetings with us, so I intend to introduce you at this party.”

“I don't care if many of them don't know me.”

“You should enjoy more things like this Mar. Look Maul!”

I saw Maul who was now talking to a lot of people who were there.

After that, I rejoined Riki and the others.

“Why are you silent?”

I saw Miyuki who saw me and did not speak at all, usually at a time like this she would say.

‘Great once you Mar,’ or ‘What was your face earlier, you should smile like Maul,’ like that.

So all this time they thought it was just Maul's bullshit. I guess they were serious about praising me or Maul at school.

“Oi Mar! Who's that girl?”

Riki whispered to me and looked towards Friska.

“She's Friska's sister Maul often talks about at school.”

“So that's Friska's sister, she is indeed very beautiful.”

“What I said, my judgment is never wrong.”

Maul came to join us and started to boast in front of Riki.

“Can you introduce me to Mul?”

“Maybe, but after that I will tell this to Kirana that Riki has started seeing other women.”

Maul threatens Riki.

Riki fell silent and paused his intentions.

The competition to capture Friska turned out to be very hard.

“What do you intend to hire Natasha here?”

I asked Mr. Hari who was talking to Natasha.

“What do you think Natasha?”

Mr. Hari asked Natasha about it.

“I'd love to work here, but I don't know what to do.”

“If for that, later I can tell Amar to teach you. Coincidentally you guys are one school and one class, so he can teach you when you are in school.”

That's a great idea, so I don't have to go to the office every day just to teach Natasha.

“I don't mind if I have to teach Natasha.”

“Then please help.”

“Oh yes Mul, can you make the application can be downloaded by people outside Indonesia?”

Pak Hari asked Maul who was enjoying her meal.

“Loh! where was the app marketed?”

I asked Mr. Hari.

“At that time I only told Maul to install this application can only be downloaded by people who are in Indonesia only because we do not yet have a translator to translate the comics into various languages.”

“True also.”

“I intend to market this application to all over the world and make the language into five languages first, namely Indonesia, English, Japan, China, and Korea.”

“It could be if I make it like that, but what's our income enough to accept new employees to work as translators?”

Maul asked Mr. Hari.

“Perhaps in the beginning I will use freelancers like the previous ones but the problem here, the price of freelancers to become translators is quite expensive.”

“Then we better think about this again if the number of downloads is more.”

My advice to Mr. Hari.

“I agree with Amar, I think what we need to think about right now is to develop the application and contract system first. Because if we are ready to open this application until the entire country can download it, it means we must also be ready to receive comics from abroad.”

“Truely what you said just now, I will think about this more mature again.”

Mr. Hari immediately thought about it right then and there.

“What do you all have in mind is just work? Today we are partying, you better postpone the conversation first later in the next day.”

Mr. Febri rebuked us who had been listening to our conversation.

“Hahaha... True too, I seem to get too carried away by knowing that there are already five hundred thousand downloaders of the Comic Universe.” application

We are back to enjoying the party.

“This place is very beautiful to see the sunset and the lights of the city at night.”

Rina walked up to me who was enjoying one of the foods that were there.

“You are right, this place is the usual place me and Maul come to rest after work or meeting.”

“Seeing you earlier, I so want to quickly have a job.”

“Better for now you focus first with your education. You can do that after graduating from school later.”

“You're right Ar, it looks like I'm in too much of a hurry.”

“Rina! Here for a moment, there's something I want to show you.”

Miyuki called out to Rina from a distance.

“I go first huh Ar!”

I raised the glass in my right hand to signal it.

When Rina left, I could see my friends blending in with the employees who were there.

And a disaster came to me.

“Can I join you?”

Brother Friska suddenly came to me out of nowhere and she was currently standing next to me enjoying a cup of coffee like that.

“Please.”

Whoa!! How is this, I'm sure that if Maul or Riki saw me right now they would misunderstand. And now there are Rina and Miyuki, what would I say to them if they saw me. Especially when at school they were all out suspecting me that I liked Friska. I'd better slowly distance myself from Friska.

For now all I have to do is be calm.

Calm... Calm... Calm...

“Why don't you join the others?”

Friska asked me.

“I don't really like the crowd, it makes my head a little dizzy.”

“Hahaha... Then we are the same, I also do not like the crowd.”

What the fuck! Why does the flow of the conversation look like we often talk, and also it turns out Friska is very cute when laughing.

A silence ensued between the two of us, none of us could continue the conversation. I don't know what I have to say to Friska right now, if I talk about work maybe she'll think of me like Mr. Hari as a workaholic. At least I have to make a picture of myself in the view of Friska if I am a schoolboy in general.

“You are great yes Mar, already have a good position at a young age like this.”

Friska started the conversation again.

“Thank you.”

I was a little embarrassed to be praised by Friska.

WHAT'S!... What the fuck! Why am I being shy like this, it's not like me. Now take a breath and

calm myself first, I must act ordinary. I also need to continue this conversation.

“By the way what made Kak Friska enter this office?”

“At the time I graduated from college, I saw a proposal from this office in a magazine that I often read. Because I had just graduated and was still confused about where to apply for a job, so I tried to enroll and it turned out I was accepted. At first I did not believe that I would be accepted as a secretary considering that I have just graduated and do not have experience.”

Of course he is welcome here, who is the company that would refuse a secretary like him. I remember talking to Mr. Febri at school.

“What was your girlfriend Mar?”

Ah shit! I did want to make Friska think of me as a teenager in general but not like this either.

“No, he's just a friend.”

“You don't have a boyfriend? Usually children your age must have a boyfriend, especially you already have your own income.”

“For now I still don't want to have a boyfriend.”

While I was talking to Friska, Maul and Riki came to Friska and talked to her.

Since there are already Maul and RIki, I'd better get out of here before things get complicated.

I slowly tried to distance myself from them and enjoy the beautiful view of the afternoon all by myself while enjoying the cup of coffee I had ordered.

Huhhhh.. Peace alive!
