My Decision at Game School
Chapter 9 - Childhood Friends

(acha class 2?? We are the same age, so we should be on the same level. What is the reason why he is in 2nd grade?)

Shocked and confused now I feel.

(oh yaa. that promise.acha did).

Back when we were in elementary school, we promised that when we entered Junior High we would choose the accel path. The line will accelerate the initial school period of three years to two years. However, the tests given were very difficult. Acha got through it.

“your introduction ndi?” Nabila asked, as if she had heard me say the name acha.

“yaa gotulah, childhood friend.”.

“long time no see?”

“yap, less than 4 years. That's why I didn't know it was in”

“means she changed a lot yaa..”

“yaa..totally..”

The last time I saw him, he was taller, shy and whiny. Now he is shorter than I am, braver, and more robust. It seemed like during the 4 years we were apart, each of us changed.

“each student/i is required to choose one exkul in the school, a maximum of two exkul. It is necessary because it is the place to develop the interests we have. Please choose well, because until the end you will be together with the excrement you choose.” vice osis explained one of the school rules.

“well, the introduction of members of the isis then we are at the end of the agenda. Welcome to the whole first class. Hopefully it can be a seed of excellence in school and enjoy the school period for the next three years. Asslammu aleikum wr wb.” Mc closes the show.

Salam ends, end of the show. The entire student immediately exited the hall building and returned to their respective classes.

“ayo balek” invite Nabila who has stood

“hmm mending wait 5 minutes more”

“why?” Ask Tia

“yaa it, queue the exit..” I pointed towards the exit. Many students/i want to go out simultaneously, so members of the osis told them to queue to be more regular.

“ok” Nabila and Tia sat down again, then they both started talking.

Ignoring the two of them, I looked towards the empty stage. The members of the osis have gone down, now they sit together in the front seat. Acha was among them. I kept looking at him in the hope that he would look at me.

Hope granted. Acha looked at me.

Given my right hand, I gave you a code that we used to use a lot. After that, I Nabila and Tia returned to class.

5 Years ago, I met acha.

1 Hour after elementary school, I waited for my parents to pick me up. But my parents were busy again, tired of waiting, I finally decided to go home alone.

While passing through the corridor with the school gate, I saw a student who was the same as me waiting to be picked up. With teary eyes, he kept trying to hold her back.

“why?”

“no” holds back again his cry.

“where is his house?”

As soon as he opened the bag, there was a special storage space inside. He pulled the paper from the storage.

“itu home” address

“hmm...near our house, want to go home together?”

He's nodding.

Let's go home to the teacher, then we go home.

During the trip, he just kept following me. It took 20 minutes to get to his house. The house is simple, has a fairly spacious courtyard and a beautiful flower garden.

Someone with a motor entered the courtyard of the house.

“coming home yes son mom..”

The student I accompanied approached the man, then hugged him.

“ini who is chaa.?”

“school friends..”.

“ya whose name is?”

The student was just silent, it is true we have not been acquaintances so have not known the names of each – including myself who do not know his name.

“hmm so yaa...cowo well, whose name?”

“my name andi, ee..bu.”.

“gak, some alley from this house has reached home”.

“hmm..if so, go first yuk to aunt house. We'll have lunch first, auntie delivery later

rumah”.

“all right, thanks aunt”

The atmosphere of the house is quite cool, the lack of home furniture makes the house feel more spacious. The name of the schoolgirl I accompanied was Lulu Farasya, but her mother and family often called her acha. Acha's mother cooked us fried rice, then we ate together.

“later andi want to go home at what time?”

“hmmm, 2 hours aja tan”

“why?”

“people home at 2 o'clock just exist, if you go home now alone also at home”

“hoo so, yes already play the same acha first yaa”

“yaa aunt”

Until 2 o'clock, me and acha didn't play. Maybe we're still the first to meet

the mood is a little awkward. I finally decided to do the work at home.

“what do you do?”

“hoo this, mtk” duty

“do you understand mtk?”

“yaa easy kok”

“can ajarin acha?”

“ya,can”

We studied together.

Without feeling like it's 2 o'clock, it's time to go home.

Aunty delivers until she arrives home, sees mom at home, aunty wants to talk to mom. Looks like aunt wants to get acquainted with mother and establish friendship. I went to my aunt and went into the room to play a game.

The next day, I saw acha waiting again at the same place. When he saw me, he approached as if I was waiting for not a parent.

“andi, said mother a week ahead can not pick up. So please go home with”

“ok”

The second time I was at acha.this time it was her father and sister whom I met. His father worked as a computer service worker, he knew all sorts of computer components. His younger brother, who is a year younger, also likes games like me.

It didn't take long to get along with his sister. Possibly having the same hobby makes us have the exact same thought. During the game, I told him all the Easter Eggs, Hidden Quests, Hidden Boss, and Mysteries in the game.

For a week, I continued to accompany acha home and play at her house. Sometimes I see his father assembling his customer's computer. At that moment, I approached her father and flooded in with many questions.

Whatisthis? What use? What's name? What if it breaks?.

With pleasure, acha's father explained my entire question.

I have been playing at his house for a month. Acha and I were different classes, so when she wanted to come home with me acha gave me a hand code that she was waiting for me. I learned the hand code from the internet and it became both of us.

One year passed.

countless of me play at home, if my house is no one, I will be at home acha and vice versa. Both of our parents also already know each other. Our closeness was silent when that day came, the day I moved to Sumatra without being able to tell acha.

**

Cring – cring, bell home.

At 3 pm the school ends, most students/i who are Muslim choose Ashar prayer first, while those who are other than Islam mostly choose to go home.

From the courtyard of the mosque, students/i can see out a lot of snacks. The street vendors usually sell next to the school. Among the snacks there are foods that used to be liked acha.

I hope he still likes it.

Arriving in the office, a quiet and silent atmosphere enveloped the entire room. Outside the cafeteria, there were some students/i sitting casually with his friend. In the cafeteria, there was a student sitting near the stand that was still open, he focused on doing his job. Not wanting to disturb her, I slowly approached the student.

“try not to change first, share until the fraction is simple just inserted into formula”

He fell silent, then looked at me.

“hai acha..” with a smile.
