The Winter Promise

Chapter 91: I Love This Peace.

Finally my peaceful school days began. There were no annoying noises in the classroom, and also when I was taking a break. Yes, two days ago Riki had gone to Makassar along with the men's basketball team to follow the O2SN there, because only they both passed the selection to represent Jakarta in the O2SN.

So quiet... This is what I wanted for a long time.

Because Riki is currently going to Makassar, it makes me forced to sit alone..

“Mar, approximately what kind of work should I do?”

Natasha asked me as I was enjoying my moments of peace.

“If for that, you can see it on the Web later.”

It's been over a week that I taught Natasha to be an editor and all that I did while I was in school. While in the office, I told Natasha to study with the other employees. I told him to do that so he could hang out with the other employees when he started working later. There's no way he's always asking me every time there's a problem.

First I don't have time to serve it and Second it's too much of a hassle. So if he is familiar with some of the employees there especially the seniors in the editor section, it will help me a lot.

***

When we rest, we still gather in the usual place even though Riki is not there at the moment. The break was just as peaceful as it was in class, no stupid talk had occurred, and the noise from the conversation of my friends did not occur at this time.

“It feels like if there is no Riki like there is less.”

Miyuki slightly missed Riki's presence.

Indeed, when Riki breaks always provoke a conversation and make everything become active. Even he could make the conversation endless until the break was over. And without Riki's presence, there's no one who can do that here.

Do you expect me and Maul to do something like that? It's impossible, me and Maul have almost the same nature, although Maul is a bit more friendly like Riki but Maul is the type of person who is difficult to start a conversation at the beginning if there is no interesting topic to discuss.

If Rian is a quiet person, he is only active during spiritual exclusion. A takeshi? I didn't expect anything from him, but every time he joined our group, he was also among those who rarely spoke.

“Yes, feels empty once this association.”

Sahut Yoshida while looking at us one with the other.

“Riki only go for a month only, not long.”

“Indeed you don't feel lonely Mar?”

Miyuki asked me.

Me? Lonely because there is no Riki? That's not possible. The only thing I feel right now is worry because my only guard is not around. I was afraid that something troublesome would happen when she was not beside me.

“Lonely? I think not, I prefer it because I can spend my sleep in class quietly.”

“What's on your mind just sleeping Mar?”

Miyuki looks so bored, I can see her clearly in her eyes.

“Of course, I have to rest my body in order to work at night. If it's not like that my endurance can be reduced and I become sick.”

“Indeed the work you do is still a lot Ar? Not that there are now employees who help you.”

Ask Rina to me.

“Because at the beginning of making this application I used to sleep when approaching dawn, I was not used to sleeping earlier than that time. that's why I used to play the game first until I was sleepy.”

“You are Mar, stop taking Misaki to play games until late at night. I often find him still awake at night.”

Miyuki immediately scolded me.

“It wasn't my fault, Misaki herself was still willing to play with me until late at night. Whereas every twelve hours, I always told her to sleep.”

“Stay only! Twelve o'clock it was already very night for a child the size of Misaki.”

Is it really like that? I think for young children in fourth to fifth grade SD sleep at twelvepm is normal. Was it just me who did it?

“What is the benefit of playing games? Not that it's just a waste of time.”

Takeshi joined our conversation.

“Absolutely you never played the game?”

Maul answers a question from Takeshi.

“I only play games on weekends only.”

“Then what do you do on a normal day?”

Maul continued with her question.

“Only learn and exercise possible.”

Takeshi said while remembering that.

“Boring your daily life, otherwise do something fun at all.”

“What did you say Mar!”

Takeshi was a little angry hearing what I just said.

“Listen! Being a professional gamer is one of my dreams. Because I think working on something that becomes our hobby is the best thing.”

I pointed at Takeshi using my tablespoon.

“Not now you have a good job Mar? Why search again?”

Yoshida asked in amazement.

“I just want to try it when there is a chance.”

“Misaki also said that to me, especially after seeing a game that has a very big prize.”

“That's why I want to try it, while still young it never hurts to multiply experience in any field.”

“Your words just now are so cool, I love it.”

Maul clenched her hand and pointed it at me, I clenched my hand too and we did a fist salutation.

“By the way how has the development of the case been lately?”

There's something I want to ask you about that. Because lately I rarely see cases of kidnapping in the news on television.

“Lumayan is good, currently the case is experiencing a significant decline.”

“Alhamdulillah!”

Rina and Miyuki were very happy when they heard that.

“But why did it happen? Did your father do anything?”

“It can happen because now there are many people who are wary of something and every night the police always patrol the areas prone to kidnapping.”

“Heee... So.”

“Is there something you think Mar?”

Miyuki saw me at this moment.

“No.”

“At this time my father is also investigating people in the police who may have direct contact with people from this kidnapping action, or those who can be bribed and divulge information belonging to the police.”

Maul added to us.

“Yes.. At least the case has decreased and the police managed to overcome it, so I do not have to worry anymore if I have to go home at night.”

“You are right, for now we can still breathe a sigh of relief at least.”

Although I don't think we can be off guard if this case hasn't completely disappeared.

“Then I can watch the cinema again when I get home from school.”

So that was what made Miyuki so happy earlier.

“You can't do that just yet for now.”

I tried to warn Miyuki.

This woman, just now her condition has improved a little she is already willing to do that.

“Why? Hasn't the case gone downhill and the police have increased security, meaning I can leave at night without worrying about anything, right?”

“If the decrease in the case does not mean that the case has disappeared, if everyone has the same thoughts as you, the case is even increasing.”

Maul added her explanation to us.

“I think you're right Mar, maybe I'll watch it over the internet or television at my house. Yep... Although the sensation is slightly different than watching in the cinema.”

Miyuki looks very disappointed, indeed how much she likes to watch the cinema.

“Not that it's not good to make people afraid like that?”

Takeshi asked Maul.

“I don't think it's a problem if it's for good like this. After all this did not happen forever, most until troubled people within the police were found.”

“True what Amar said. It won't last long.”

Maul justifies what I say.

But the information Maul said just now made me think of something. What is the case is now down whether the police are hiding something that people do not want to know at all.

Hmmmm... It's freaky.

“What are you thinking Mar?”

I just realized that everyone here was looking at me thinking.

Does my face look too much when I think of something? I think I have to overcome that. Honestly, this bothers me a lot.

“Not your father could be in danger?”

“Why?”

“This is just a possibility that I think about, I don't know if it's true or not. But if a troubled person in the police has a high influence and position compared to your father, it could be your father will be silenced by it.”

Because according to my estimation, only someone who has a high rank in the police can do this.

“That couldn't have happened, there are still many superiors who believe in my father.”

Maul denied my estimate.

I hope what I think is just my thinking.

“Oh Yes Mar? Will you and the others go to the mountain again?”

Thank goodness Miyuki turned this conversation in another direction.

“I just wanted to ask about it too.”

Rian.

“I don't know whether to go there or not because usually the one who invites me to go hiking is Riki. I never went uphill to the mountain not with Riki.”

Because Riki is the only friend who is close to me besides Maul and he is the one who always invites me to climb to the mountain.

“I think it's better you ask Riki that question when he's back in Jakarta.”

Maul's advice to Miyuki.

“I'll do it.”

“Is the view on the mountain really that good? I heard Miyuki's story sound like she was exaggerating.”

Kichida was curious about it.

“You are so evil Kichida, I guess you are interested in my story at that time.”

Kichida just chuckled at Miyuki's words.

“Originally you know, when I went to Mount Prau together with Amar and the others, the scenery that I

look there is second to none especially at sunrise. The clouds beneath you form like a vast ocean and the view of the three mountains in front of you makes you want to go back. And not only that at night.”.

Miyuki told me everything she saw on Mount Prau.

“Is that true Mar?”

Yoshida made sure of it again to me.

“Iya, everything Miyuki said was true happened back then.”

“I so want to go to mount.”

“I also.”

Soon Kichida and Yoshida become eager to go to the mountain.

“But what on the mountain there is a toilet?”

Kichida immediately asked me with a slightly disturbing question.

“There are only a few mountains that have toilets up there, but the rest are not.”

“Then what if when you guys up there need to go to the toilet?”

“Usually we go from a place away from the crowd and look for bushes to finish it there.”

Replied him.

“Great once you can do such a thing Miyuki.”

Kichida stared in admiration and wonder at Miyuki.

“At first I also felt uncomfortable with the situation, but want how else. It is better to be removed than detained and wait for him to get to the bottom again.”

“Friends... I think there are still beautiful things on the mountain that you can talk about instead of talking about it.”

Maul immediately changed the direction of the conversation that was no longer because of.

“About which mountain will you climb later?”

Miyuki who looked still excited immediately asked me.

“Perhaps if the semester break later we will go to Mount Gede in Bogor because the distance is not too far from home.”

My words answered a question from Miyuki.

“What mountain it has the same height as Mount Prau?”

“No, Mount Gede is much higher than Mount Prau, and in Mount Gede there are also a lot of water reserves when on top only, so we do not have to worry if you run out of water while climbing.”

“On one of the hiking trails in Mount Gede there are also waterfalls and rivers that we can use to bathe and soak there.”

Maul also added my remarks that made Miyuki more interested in climbing to Mount Gede.

“Is that true?”

I can see Miyuki's eyes sparkling at this moment. I think he can't wait to climb there.

“Iya, but the hiking trail is longer and longer compared to Mount Prau.”

“As long as I can see the beautiful scenery up there, it doesn't matter.”

“It looks like Miyuki is very addictive to go up the mountain.”

Said Rina while laughing.

“Of course, I did not expect that mountain climbing can be as fun as it was, at first it was tiring but all it paid off with the beautiful scenery we got when up there.”

“Not forever when we climb the mountain will get a beautiful view. Only certain conditions we can get a beautiful scenery like yesterday.”

I said that to Miyuki so that she would not be disappointed while climbing the mountain and not get what she wanted.

“Sometimes also while climbing we do not get the scenery at all because of the thick fog that covers the scenery.”

“Sweetly then.”

“That's no problem, as long as it can still do pleasant things on the mountain.”

Even though I said it like that he was still excited, good then. At least I won't listen to his complaints while climbing the mountain and don't get a good view up there.
