The Winter Promise

Chapter 92: A New and Serious Problem, I'm Coming!

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

The bell home from school has started to sound, many students have gone to follow their excursions. There are also some students who are in class to carry out their picket duties first.

Right now I'm walking towards the multimedia lab because it was during the second break, Mr. Febri came up to me at the mosque and he said that there was something he wanted to talk about. I don't know what he wants to talk about either, but if he told me to come home from school like this, it seems like it's very important.

And plus today I had to go to the office because there was an impromptu meeting that Mr. Hari wanted to do. I hope my business with Mr. Febri is not too long.

“Excuse me..”.

I opened the lab door and walked in to Mr. Febri. I was looking at Mr. Febri who was waiting for me. This time he didn't play the game as he usually did, as I expected that the matter he wanted to talk about this time seemed to be quite serious.

“So what do you want to talk to me about? Not usually, calling me after school like this.”

I sat in the chair facing Mr. Febri.

“How are you?”

He wants to talk first before entering the core conversation.

“Good.”

“Are you close to Akbar Mar?”

So he wants to talk about Akbar.

“If you say close seems not, I only talked to him a few times with him while in class and plus I was in a group with him during LDKS. Does Akbar have anything to do with the conversation you want to talk to me about?”

“That's how, I just got a report from the student that Akbar has not participated in the excul for almost a semester.”

I just found out that the student section takes care of that part, too.

“What's wrong with that?”

“As you know, the system in this school requires that each student must choose one exkul and follow it.”

“Then what happens if the student does not follow the excrement he chose?”

Actually, this is my question for a long time, because I also wonder if I do not follow the exculp activity at all. Fortunately, the rohis exculpation is only held once a week and it is also not long.

“It does not matter if there is a student who does not follow the exkul that he has chosen, it's just that the school wants his students to have other abilities besides in the academy.”

Heee... We care about this school with its students. Back then at Junior High School, I never followed one exkul at all and it didn't matter. I was never called upon by BP teachers to discuss that as well.

“Did Akbar never follow excul from the beginning of the semester?”

“Akbar only follows the exkul when the first entered, the rest he did not follow anymore. That's why the student reported this to me, he asked if Akbar gave a report on why he didn't follow his excursion.”

Hmmmm... I think this is a little weird.

“I don't see Akbar like the guy who has problems when in class. He looks fine, he talks to his friends, jokes, and is always active in the lesson.”

“I also saw it like that. Does he have a job he's working on out there because of financial problems? If for example it is like that, I want to help him as much as I can.”

Mr. Febri also looked confused. Despite his young age, Mr. Febri is quite attentive with the students he teaches. And I just saw Mr. Febri worrying about something like this.

“What makes you think like that?”

“Last-lately I am collecting student data in the classroom from the administration to be put into the rapot because it will soon be implemented UAS.”

It's UAS, time goes by so fast.

“And when I saw the data filled in by Akbar, it turned out that all the data he submitted to the school was signed by his guardian. No files signed by both parents.”

As I thought, if there's something not right here.

“During class, I never heard Akbar tell about it.”

Of course he wouldn't tell it as much as Natasha did.

“I also talked about this to Akbar yesterday, but he doesn't want to talk about it any further.”

“Are her parents dead just like Natasha?”

“No, Akbar once said that his parents were still alive but they did not live together.”

Oh no, I have a feeling that I'm going to come into contact with something very heavy again. I hope that when I have to face him face to face, Riki has returned to Jakarta so that I can do this together with him. Because without Riki, I have no guards at all.

“I do not want to interfere more deeply if the problem is as serious as that.”

“I just want you to find out the truth of the matter, there is no need to interfere too much into the matter. Let me handle it later.”

“What do you expect from a student like me.”

“I know that you can find out this easily, even later tonight I think you already know what happened.”

Not so soon either, I had to tell Maul and tell her about this first before telling Maul to help me investigate.

“Alright, I'll do it if there's no rush from the office. Because today Mr. Hari wants to hold another meeting, so I think soon I will be a little busy.”

Although not as busy as when creating an application.

“I know that, you just do this thing casually and slowly. There is no need to rush, after all the school is not too forcing this too. They just want to know what makes Akbar can not follow exkul.”

“Ok, I'll do as I can.”

After speaking with Mr. Febri, I went straight out of the lab to go to the office immediately.

When I just closed the lab door, from the RPL lab Maul suddenly came out of there.

“Did you just meet Mr Febri?”

Maul came straight to me and we walked together.

“That's how, what are you doing yourself? Tumben once you go to the lab.”

“There is a task I gave to my teacher. Is there a problem?”

Waitaminute! I don't think I'm thinking about Akbar's problem right now, why Maul could know that.

“Where did you know?”

“I'm just guessing, because it's not unusual for Mr. Febri to call you to the lab when he comes home from school after we've worked at Comic Universe. So I guess if there's something really important that she needs to talk to you about.”

Apparently Maul already knew about it.

“I was just told by Mr. Febri about the problem that Akbar is currently experiencing, and I was told by him to find out what is really going on.”

“Oh! Akbar who was once a group with us at LDKS. What problem is he having?”

Coincidentally Maul asked, there is no harm in telling her this time because later I will also tell her to ask for help.

“It has been almost a semester he did not follow the activities of exkul.”

“It is indeed a problem if the student does not follow the exercise?”

Maul's question is the same as what I asked Mr. Hari just now.

“No problem, it's just that Mr. Febri was worried about him. He felt that Akbar was having a problem that he was trying to shoulder alone.”

“Do you want me to help you find him?”

That's what I want Maul! You are my best friend.

“I will ask for your help, but not for now. There's something I want to do first.”

“What?”

“I want to talk to Akbar first, who knows just by talking to him, I already know what problem he is having.”

“Does it work?”

Maul was a little hesitant about what I was going to do.

“Seems not.”

To Mr. Febri alone he didn't talk much about it, what about me.

“But I want to try it first.”

“Alright, if you really need my help, you can tell me anytime.”

“Thank you, I'm very helped with that.”

We continued walking outside the school and met Natasha who was waiting for us there.

“What are you doing here?”

Ask him.

“Of course to wait for you two.”

“Where do you know me and Maul haven't gone to the office?”

“So I saw you go to the first building, I'm sure you must have gone to the lab to meet with Mr. Ferbi. Then not long after, I also saw Maul who went there as well. So that's why I'm waiting for you guys to come here so we can go to the office together.”

 “Good.”

We started going to the bus stop and took the bus to the Blok M department. Because at this time people have not returned home from work, so the current condition of the bus is not too crowded people.

“By the way what are you working on right now Mul?”

“I am learning to market this app to the whole world, because it will be even more complicated than before.”

“Sounds it's hard.”

I've been thinking about the complicated things Maul did.

“That's how, plus we have to deal with similar apps from different countries that make it much more complicated.”

“I leave it to you because I'm already dizzy with what I'm doing.”

“You yourself what are you currently working on Mar?”

Natasha asked me.

“I am currently creating a new look for the app.”

“Why don't you ask other employees for help?”

Maul.

“We have got each task and the things they do are also no less difficult than what I do, so I am not good if I ask for help to them.”

“It seems right if we have to accept additional employees if we want to market the application to the rest of the world. Because it is impossible that we only use the currently available employees. That's too torturous.

True what is said by Maul, after all our office now also still looks spacious and relieved, can still accommodate quite a lot of employees.

“About how much longer until it can be done?”

Ask Natasha to Maul.

“I myself do not know, but obviously it will be very long because we need to do research first so that we do not make fatal mistakes.”

“Have you got the big picture Mul?”

“Hmmm..”

Maul started thinking.

“If according to my calculations of the development of this application and income from our company, I think when we are second class it can already happen.”

“You said this took a long time and a lot of research.”

Saying to him.

“That's the result I got from my calculations through consideration of both things, and when we were second grade it was quite an ideal time, not too fast and not too long. During that time also we can create a patent contact system for the comics who want to join.”

I saw Natasha watching us talk.

“I don't know what you're talking about but I think it's very heavy to digest by me.”

Of course Natasha couldn't keep up with our conversation, because she never went to the meeting and learned about the development of her app from the inside.

“By the way do we have to learn all five languages as well to contact comics from different countries?”

Because if that's true, I don't want to have to study too because my part is a part that is very often associated with the comic in the Comic Universe.

“I think there is no need because there is a translator who helps you translate, if you are required to contact them, just invite the translator to translate it to you.”

What Maul said was not wrong, it made my work easier.

“And roughly how many translators should we employ?”

“Maybe very much considering the target of Pak Hari is the five languages. not many translators who can five languages at once, get people who can speak three languages only it is good.”

“I think calculating the research and income from the application is a good step according to what you said earlier.”

“From thinking about it, we better focus on improving the system and making the application much better first in order to compete with similar applications.”

“What office we will also build offices in other countries?”

 Finally Natasha spoke as well after all this while just being silent.

“Can be, but before that we should do research first.”

“How to specify it?”

“It is seen depending on the number of downloaders and comic from each country, maybe if for example in one of the countries there are many numbers of comics we have to open a branch office there to facilitate communication and administration with the comic in the country.”

Hmmmm... This conversation is too heavy and serious, even though I have not yet held a meeting with Mr. Hari.

“That's great if you can work abroad like that.”

Natasha told us.

“Rather than thinking about it, we better do what we can do at the moment.”

I tried to change the direction of the conversation.

“What today do we have a meeting at the office later?”

Hey Mul, have you forgotten why we came to the office today or have you not been told by Mr. Hari.

“It is certain that if we are told by Mr. Hari to go to the office today, surely he would like to hold a meeting with us.”

“True also.”

“This is the work that Mul.” bosses do

“If our payment had gone down, I would have been very excited to come to this meeting.”

It turns out that Maul also thought about it, I guess I just thought about it.

“At least we know that next month our pay has gone down.”

“I wonder how much we will pay considering we have worked for a long time.”

“I think the amount will be very much.”

“If your payment has gone down do not forget to treat us yes.”

Natasha has charged that to me and Maul.

“You should have said that to your sister.”

I said to Natasha and Natasha just smiled at us.

If my payment had gone down, maybe I'd buy Nadira a laptop so she wouldn't bother me while working. Because during the holidays yesterday, he always borrowed my laptop for him to use and it was very disturbing.
