Ch. 20 - Eliminating Awkwardness
*Jui-sensei Point of View
Have you ever felt awkward? Feeling awkward because you are alone with your friend who is not familiar? You are confused about what to talk about, but if diem just tastes bad. In such conditions, you feel better alone than alone with your friend who is not yet familiar. Have you ever felt it?
If I pay attention, it feels like there are some students who are not familiar at all. One of them is Ota and Maggiana. For four months I was pregnant, uh. I've never seen Ota and Maggiana chat. Even if you talk, there must be someone else with them. Unconsciously, the communication between the two of them was very lacking.
This morning, Ota and Maggiana were in the office. They both came in late. This semester, Maggiana has been seven times late for school, the reason is the same: Because her bike collapsed. Ota was worse, he was already ten times late, the reason was the same: Because his grandfather died.
Ten times Ota's grandfather died, how many times was Ota's grandfather?
“You wait in this room until the break,” said teacher BK.
Maggiana and Ota just nodded.
After that, can you guess what they did?
Yep! Open the bag, pick up the phone and play it. Whether there is something important or not, playing a mobile phone feels very mandatory when waiting for something. Maybe I should be busy. In fact, only opened SMS from the operator, or WhatsApp messages that are not so important. There are also those who play games on Hape to spend time while waiting. Ah, just playin mobile phone is to be thought not to be idle.
Actually, gapapa. That's normal, I do it often. But, once in a while try chatting with the person next to you—who knows he is your soul mate. If you are both a girl/cowboy maybe she is your friend. If he is old, he may be Ota's eleventh grandfather.
Yes, at least certainly can something, whether it's information or just boredom relief.
This morning, it looks like Ota wants to change that bad habit. Despite feeling awkward, he tried to deal with it.
“Maggiana, why do you like Akemi?” ask Ota.
Maggiana who plays mobile phone directly turn it off.
“If you say you like it anyway like not, I'm just amazed. Although Akemi is great, she does not seem arrogant. In fact, often help him if there are more problems,” Ota replied with a smile.
Hearing that, Maggiana was immediately enthusiastic.
“Nah... well. That's what I mean, Akemi is really pretty and cute. I wanted to kidnap her and bring her home. Then take a shower and sleep together. Ah, it must be really nice if it really happened.” Maggiana enthusiastic.
(Waduh. Maggiana's liking of Akemi is completely different level to Ota's. He's a real maniac when it comes to Akemi) I thought of eavesdropping on their conversation up close.
Instantly they were silent again.
This time, it was Maggiana who started the conversation.
“By the way you join what excrement?” ask Maggiana.
“I participated in cooking exculpation,” replied Ota, briefly.
“Cooking? Wow, your cooking means good dong!?”
“You can try my own cooking. I'm a part-time chef at my Grandpa's shop. The shop near Kusakawa Hospital, loh.”
“Oh, so you part-time work there? It's near Lullin's boarding house with Shino, I haven't been there yet. Maybe, I'll stop by sometime. Thank you for the discount, yes!”
“Gampaang!”
Since that conversation, Ota store became a lot of visitors. Kedainya Ota became a hangout for children in Class 1-F. I also visit there often. Fortunately Ota told Maggiana.
The above incident is purely a coincidence, but what's wrong with trying to familiarize yourself with the person next to you? Even if the person is old, try to invite him to talk. Who knew he was Ota's twelfth grandfather.
