Whiteocean: The Limitless Testament
Chapter 15: Choice
Hold still…
Me? Invited to move to ACJ…? I see, yes. I see, yes.. It's too sudden, oii!!
And why tell him now? When the lesson hours are still going on!
Ah, come back to the original topic.Once again I look and read this letter once again. When viewed from anywhere, this is an invitation letter!
Can I accept this? But, the Headmaster said that this is a directive from the government.
So I have to take it, right? Yes... indeed from the beginning there is an option to refuse? Maybe if I refuse this invitation, I'll be stamped stupid. Almost all students in Indonesia are eager to enter and study at ACJ.
However, ACJ ranks highest as the most favorite Academy in Indonesia. The facilities and curriculum provided are very good. There is even freedom for an Exchul to go to do research in their main field, even outside the country.
However, unfortunately, I am the type of person who does not really like something that is too luxurious. Yes, although there is a good side if I accept the invitation.
But still…
“So how did you respond, Saidhan?”
The principal asked my response to this. ‘Ya’ or ‘Not’.
“Please give me time to think first..!”.
The headmaster stared at Pak Ari, he just responded casually. After that, he smiled…
“Alright, I will give you a maximum of 2 days to think about it!”
“Thank you..”.
“Determine a serious and best option for you! Because this could really affect your life next.”.
The Headmaster advised, I only responded by nodding and saying…
“Ehmm, alright.”.
And after that I went back to class.. Quite a lot of classmates asked, ‘What happened?’
Well, in the meantime, I'm keeping that invitation a secret. And because of that, I couldn't focus on the lesson at all. All day I thought about this.
Entrance to ACJ is not my wish, before I could pass the exam and enter there, Al also admitted it was about my Academic ability to pass the ACJ Entrance Exam.
But I always refused to participate, before there was a reason behind it. The reason is of course to avoid bullying and stop dependence on Al.
But with me now? Of course, that reason no longer exists. If I were now in the ACJ, it might just be admired, by people.
the broad-minded ones, though…
But still, I feel bad because of it. I myself jiga confused, regardless of the origin of this feeling. It's weird, isn't it?
All I should have done was accept it with joy. However, I just ask for time to think about it... What did I actually do earlier?
Ahh, it is. All you have to do is go home and think about it carefully. Ah, maybe I'll tell mom about this, won't ya?
Maybe not first. It can make it a scene later.
After I got home, I immediately locked myself in the room to get the peace to think about it well.
Well, even though I have had peace, I still can't decide what to take, why.
Ahh, I need a friend to talk to. The time has now shown at 20:00. Maybe I'll call Rei...
At a coffee shop I used to visit. I sat alone accompanied by the cup of coffee I just ordered.
Right now, I was waiting for Rei to arrive. A few minutes ago, when I had just arrived at this Shop.
Until finally, after 20 minutes of waiting, he came.
“Yaa Sai, Sorry to wait!”
He said, I only responded by nodding and allowing him to sit down.
He sat down to follow my directions and then ordered coffee, I didn't talk about the invitation right away. Because he was talking about something else. As a result, talks about the ACJ invitation were delayed.
Until in the end, the coffee he ordered had come.
Rei picked up the cup and blew on the still hot coffee then sipped it…
I just looked at his coffee show. When finished, he said.
“So why did you call me here? Is there anything you want to talk about?”
Just asked now you, oii!!
Haaah, stop…
I responded to his question by nodding and saying.
“Hmm, right...there's something I want to talk about!”
“Hooo, tumben once! About what?”
Rei then went back to sipping his coffee. Then, I just told him about the invitation from ACJ.
“Yeah, how do I say it, yes.. but essentially, I get an invitation letter and recommendation from ACJ!”
He paused for a moment and nodded with his eyes closed, then he returned to his previous activities.
I myself was quite surprised by his reaction which unlike my previous expectations, he was quite calm at the moment. However, after a while, he seemed to have just come into contact with what I was talking about.
As a result, he coughed because he was sipping coffee.
“Uhuk…! Uhuk…! Uhuk…! What..? you, get an invitation from the ACJ? Seriously..?”
Rei said that with a high volume of sound, so that other people in this coffee shop heard it, and we became the center of attention.
I looked at him with a lazy look!.
“Hey, don't be so hard! Many people here... disturb tau!”
After;ah heard the warning from me, Rei immediately returned to his initial sitting position and wiped his mouth with the tissue he had prepared.
“You get an invitation from ACJ...!?”
I nodded back.
“Ya, that's true..”
“Isn't that good news? Then I congratulate you! To you!”
He touched my shoulder, and shook my body to the right and to the left. Feeling uncomfortable, I immediately removed his hand from my shoulder
“Stop!”
Rei put away his hand, and smiled foolishly…
“Hahahah, so since this is big news, let's have a celebration party!”
He said that with passion and raised his coffee cup up!”
“T-wait! That's not what I really mean..!”.
Rei stopped his activities after listening
words just now. He sighed…
“So, what's the real destination?”
“Ah this way... I actually, kind of confused!”
“Bingung?”
Rei repeated my words, he looked at me with a questioning look?
“Yeah, you know? I was confused to choose to accept it or not.”.
Upon hearing that, Rei did not react for a while. And after that, he got up from his seat and hit the table.
*Bwgk!
Surprisingly, he didn't even say a word. The people around him were also a bit surprised because of that.
“A-what? What's up?”
“Come me out! We'll talk about taking a walk!”
After saying that, Rei headed straight for the bartender and immediately paid for his coffee just now. So I had to follow him until we walked outside.
Rei walked quite quickly, I was a bit overwhelmed following him. Until finally…
“What's up, anyway? Suddenly just take the road outside..?”
Rei stopped for a moment, he then turned to look at me.
“So tell me what you really meant to call me?! Don't mess around!!”
I stopped next to him.
“I told you, I was confused to reject it or accept it!”
A while after I said that, Rei immediately clocked my head quite loudly.
*Buagh!
As a result, I took a few steps forward and held my head at the back.
“Aww... who! Sick tau!! What do you mean just now?!”
I scolded him immediately.
“Of course, because you're stupid!”
He replied in a high tone as well.
“Haah?”
“You're stupid, that's all you're worried about!”
“What are you talking about, is my confusion so unnatural..!?”.
“Yaa, that's unnatural! What exactly are you thinking?”
“Haaa?”
“Try you think! Hundreds of people have failed to get into the ACJ, and you? You even just like this.. Do you want to waste 2 times the opportunity? What's on your head now!?”
“You, don't understand!”
“What's up? Try to tell me the problem! You don't know the problem yourself, do you?”
I was silent, it was true..What is in my head right now? What's wrong..this is what?
“About it.”
“Aaaah, shit! I called you here to ease this burden! Not aggravate her!”
“Hah, what a burden! You are so weird..!”
The situation became a bit awkward afterwards.we faced each other in opposite directions. I never thought it would be like this…
And after that, the sound of footsteps rang out, he walked towards us. And I saw a shadow in front of me.
The shadow of the person is getting bigger and clearer. Until finally enough light shows the real face, he was…
“Yaa, I didn't expect us to meet here!”
He was the one who was this morning, if it's not wrong his friends call him Bang Jul.
“You..!”
I was certainly surprised to see it, from all the possibilities why would I have to coincidentally meet him, anyway!?
Hearing someone's voice, Rei immediately turned around.he put on a surprised face also saw Bang Jul, after which he immediately approached and whispered something behind my ear.
“Sai, he was the one who challenged you, right?”
Whispered Rei, I responded with a nod of assent.
“Ehmm, right... I never thought I'd meet him here!”
“Your luck is so bad!”
Ahh, this is it…
“Y-yaaa, B-bang Jul? what's up here?”
I'm trying to shift the subject.
He then walked closer towards me, until the distance between the two of us was less than 1 meter.
“Not because of anything.. I just walk around here!”
Ahh, this is it. Sometimes coincidences are terrible, yes…
However, if you look around again he is indeed very high, yes..
If you look at it, of course, it will be clear that he is much taller than me as well as Rei, even he is probably taller than Tooru-san. I don't know why I remember him now…
If I make myself as a benchmark, this person's height is about 180 cm and above. That's very high. The average person here is 160 cm and above. In fact, in fact, I was arguably quite tall, my height was 171 cm.
leave that aside..he is this, what will he do?
“So... let's solve the pending problem earlier, at school!”
Uhhh! Apparently right…!!
