The Winter Promise

Chapter 93: Mistakes in Viewing, Can Cause Confidential Information.

“Because everything has gathered here, it's time for us to meet.”

Huh!

Right now I have gathered in the meeting room together with the others, but this time the different one is the one who attended this meeting only four people. There's Mr. Hari, Brother Malik, Maul, and also me. And we usually meet with the leaders of the divisions in the Comic Universe.

“Is it just this way that holds a meeting? Usually more crowded than this one.”

I asked Mr. Hari who was turning on his laptop.

“Yes, indeed who attended this meeting less than usual. Because this time we only make decisions, not discuss technical issues. It would not need to need a lot of people.”

“So what do we want to discuss?”

“Malik!”

Mr. Hari told Mr. Malik to explain.

“Lately I have collected research on comics that are being rated and in demand by readers, and we plan to record the comics.”

“Then what about the readers' response to this?”

“Through the questionnaire we have made from last month to find out the response of readers. Some agree and some disagree, but more agree than not.”

Malik continued his explanation to answer my question.

I'm sure that those who disagree must have had the same reasons as me at that time. Because this comic is already in the app, so why would they buy it in the book version. Better reread the comic in the app.

“If comic's response about this?”

“All comic books have agreed to this as long as the distribution of the results is in accordance with the terms that were filed at that time.”

“What is our purpose for doing this? Isn't the plan to record comics that already exist in the application can cause harm to us if the comic is not sold.”

What Maul said was right. At first I dared to advise Mr. Hari to make a comic reading application because I think it was the least loss.

“Of course we do this to increase revenue for our company. In addition, we have also collected questionnaires from readers and the results are also positive. That's why I'm holding a meeting this time because most readers already agree to this.”

“How about the production cost of his comic?”

“For the production cost of the comics, yesterday we talked about this with the finance part and it was covered by the revenue from the app. Because we have all the machines and can produce it ourselves, so the cost is not too big. Mostly I just need to take care of the files in order to publish the book.”

Mr. Hari began to record it in a book that was in front of him.

I wonder how much income comes from the Comic Universe app. I did not know it at all, who knew it was only Mr. Hari, Maul, and the financial section. I was once told by Maul about his income, but that was when the number of downloads was not as much as it is now.

Maybe I can estimate all that from the pay I will get later.

“How many series will be recorded?”

Maul asked Malik.

“If we take all the comics that are trending at the moment, it means that there are ten series to be recorded.”

“Then how much we want to produce it?”

“We intend to make a thousand copies of each series.”

A thousand coffees? I don't know it's much or little, but if Pak Hari wants to market it to all the bookstores in Indonesia, it's too little.”

“Because most who agree with this comic book book book the average reader on the island of Java, especially Jabodetabek. So we will market this book in the Jabodetabek area first, then we will start marketing it to the entire island of Java even outside the island of Java depending on the development of the book in the market later.”

Mr. Hari explained it to us.

“I don't think that would be a problem. As long as the production cost is already covered with application income, I have no problem.”

“I also have no problem with this, I think this is good if you can add income from the company.”

Maul also agrees with me.

“Then are there any more questions before the meeting closes?”

Ask Mr. Hari to all of us.

“No looks like.”

“Alright, meeting this time we close.”

After the meeting, Maul and I went to the roof to rest there. I am grateful that today the meeting did not discuss a heavy and long issue.

When we took our coffee order that was just finished by the barista, I already saw Natasha who was sitting while playing the laptop there. Me and Maul intend to approach and join him.

When he saw us approaching, he immediately closed his laptop and greeted us.

“Have you guys finished the meeting?”

“That's.”

Maul and I sat down on a chair nearby.

“How does it work?”

Ask him.

“My work is not too heavy, what you were teaching at that time was used all.”

“Thank God then.”

Like Natasha's here, I don't think there's any harm in asking her. It just so happens that Natasha's relationship with her classmates is better than mine. I think he must know something about her.

“Natasha, what do you think about Akbar when in class?”

“Accbar! she looks okay why?”

Natasha was immediately curious about the question I just asked.

“So I was told by Mr. Febri that Akbar has not participated in the exkul almost a semester. Do you know anything?”

“Oh so that's why Mr. Febri called you earlier. I myself just found out about this from you, I think Akbar is fine with his excursion because he sees his attitude which is almost the same as Riki.”

So I'm not the only one who thinks like that.

“I was also confused when Mr. Febri asked me that, because I myself when talking to him never saw him like a person who was exposed to a problem.”

“Why don't you try asking him Mar?”

“My intention is also so, tomorrow I will just do that. But I don't think he's going to say it that easily to me.”

Considering he's hiding this too with Mr. Febri.

“It never hurts to ask.”

“If there was Riki, I would have told him to ask.”

“Again why did Mr Febri give this task to you Mar? You're not a class manager.”

Maul asked me while sipping her coffee.

“I don't think Mr. Febri wants to let his students know about this, so he only talks about this to me.”

“But with you talking about this with us, instead it makes this thing known to people.”

“I only say this to people I trust that he won't tell anyone else.”

I said while looking at Natasha and also Maul.

“Means you also trust me Mar?”

Ask Natasha.

“Of course, if you spread this out I won't give you a job.”

“You're so mean Mar, but if that happens I'll talk about this to my sister.”

Oh right, I just remembered that her sister Natasha is the one who owns this company.

“But you take it easy Mar, I will not spread this to others. Anyway I'm not used to talking about other people's problems if that person doesn't want to talk about it.”

And without Natasha saying that, I knew she wouldn't be talking about it with anyone else. That's why I dare to talk to him right now.

“Remember what I said at school earlier Mar. You ask Akbar first about the problem, if indeed he is still hiding the problem to you. We will play our way as usual.”

Maul smiled slightly as she said that.

“What is the usual way you guys do?”

Natasha was curious about it.

“Hacking to find out what happened exactly.”

Natasha was a little surprised when she heard that. Because Natasha had absolutely no idea that Maul was indeed an expert at such things.

“As long as it is used for good things, it will not be considered a crime.”

“It can be like that?”

“Can only.”

Hmmmm... About what will happen tomorrow. But I'm pretty sure that Akbar will cover it from me, maybe he'll be surprised because I found out about this matter.

What am I supposed to do?

Am I going to threaten him with something? But I want to do this in a family way, I don't want to add to the problems with other people. After all if threatening him it is better to tell Maul to find him first.

Then what kind of trouble is he going through right now that he's hiding it from Mr. Febri. If this concerns both parents, whether both parents have divorced until he decided to leave the house and live with others.

But what was it done by someone of Akbar's age.

Akbar also said that if his parents had not died, there was no way he would lie to such a thing.

Natasha looked at me.

“What are you thinking Mar?”

“I was just thinking about the possibilities before I asked Akbar what would happen.”

“Make what au think about it, wouldn't it be easier if you directly asked him.”

“Indeed, but I was very sure that Akbar would not say that to me, because Mr. Febri whose homeroom teacher alone could not make him talk.”

“Then what possibilities have you thought?”

“I just thought that Akbar was working somewhere after school.”

“Not if it works he can do it after exkul?”

Ask Natasha.

“Maybe the work is not like our work that can be taken home or done casually.”

The work Akbar does now may be paid based on the hours he works, the less he works the less he receives.

“It could be.”

Maul also started thinking.

“Have been the talk about this we suffice until here.”

I also closed the conversation.

“Oh yes Mar, there is something I want to ask you. Actually this is a question from the class children, he asked me to ask you this.”

“What is it?”

I was a little curious about the question Natasha was going to ask.

“Are you and Miyuki dating?”

I have indeed closed the conversation about Akbar with the intention that there are other topics of conversation that can be discussed, but why should this also.

“Why should we talk about this now?”

“Friends all in the class asked me that, I was also curious when I saw you and Miyuki during the break.”

“What do you think yourself after seeing the attitude of the two of us at rest?”

Natasha should have known we had nothing to do.

“I myself do not know, because you two could have hidden it from us because you do not want your school life is not peaceful anymore.”

Why do you have such thoughts Natasha! It was very clear that we had no relationship.

“Partially I asked Riki that time. At that time Riki just smiled and said that your relationship was complicated.”

“Riki.. Riki's.. Why didn't he just tell me the truth happened!”

I breathed after hearing that.

“Friends in my class also asked about it to me.”

Maul is following along now.

“Wait-Wait-Wait... Why should Miyuki and I be paired here while we rest a lot of people there?”

“Because you two look so close compared to the others.”

AHA! Did I not hear wrong? Me and Miyuki look close? I don't know how they see us anymore. I can't understand what young people think.

“If you two are not dating, do you have no intention of making Miyuki your girlfriend Mar?”

“Amar won't do that.”

Maul answered that very quickly.

“Why? What this has to do with the strange thought of Amar that Riki always told me.”

Ok, now I wonder what Riki said to Natasha.

“That's one of them, but the most severe is her feelings of Rina and Yoshida.”

Natasha was surprised to hear that.

“Did they both like Amar?”

“If Rina already likes Amar from their time still SD, and Yoshida once gave Amar a love letter.”

“I didn't expect Amar to be that famous.”

Natasha looked at Amar.

“It was beyond my will.”

I never did anything that made me famous. Like, that's my opinion.

“If from my view, Amar does have a mysterious side and hides many mysteries that make women interested in him. Especially when Amar showed his basketball skills, it made some girls in my class start to like Amar.”

I beg you no longer, serving three people alone is troublesome let alone more than that.

“That's how Amar has been since we met at SMP.”

Maul said a little proud of that.

“Did Rina and Yoshida know that they like the same person?”

Ask Natasha to Maul.

“I think they both know.”

“It's great that the two of them can be friends despite knowing that.”

“Rina is indeed a person who is easily jealous if there are women who approach Amar, but it does not make Rina hostile to the person, she prefers to compete fairly.”

“It seems you know very well the nature of Rina Mul.”

I intend to taunt Maul so that Natasha changes the subject and focuses on Maul.

“Did you forget that Rina was a prima donna in our school first? A lot of people have asked me about it. So I know a little because I often investigate.”

Hearing that made Natasha look at Maul with a look of disdain. It seems like Natasha thinks that Maul is a stalker.

“What's with your view?”

Maul asked who did not like Natasha's view.

“I'm afraid of you knowing all this. Even now I am much more afraid of you than the kidnappers who are crowded at this time.”

“Hahahaha... Indeed Maul it is a person to be feared.”

“As for friends, I don't always do that.”

“Empress!”

And the conversation continues with Maul who tries to convince Natasha that she is not a disgust, but Natasha still does not believe.

I am grateful that they have not discussed my relationship and Miyuki's. Maybe next time I'm near Miyuki, I'll keep my distance so that misunderstandings don't happen.
