My Decision at Game School
Chapter 26 - Shopping Both
You could say this is my first time riding a motorcycle together with a guy other than my father and sister. Not that I never get an offer from another guy, but Salma who always gives and receives a ride from me. Or maybe Salma was always protecting me huh?!
“oiyaa chaa, can you stop by Swalayan first?”
“ok, it's okay. All of you also acha want to snack”
“makasih”
It seems like thanks to me always being a good boy, I thought that I could only be alone on the way home, but being able to shop with him alone made me even happier.
We stopped at the supermarket, parked the bike and got in. This afternoon the atmosphere of self-service is not so crowded, some customers are the same as us who stopped here when returning from work. Even I saw some schoolgirls shopping for her needs.
“you want to buy anything Ndi?”
Andi stopped pushing the trolley, then opened his phone.
“This is the shopping list cha, Acha aja who holds. Let Andi push his trolley”
The list of groceries is quite a lot, you could say food for the next week. There are vegetables, meat, chicken, eggs, fish, noodles, and some snacks.
“many also yaa”
“iyaa, sorry to trouble ya chaa”
“what kok”
Even I am grateful, can feel the shopping needs only with you. I usually shop with my family, so this is arguably a worthwhile first experience.
“ayo we are there, to vegetable” region
“ready, I'm ready to be by your side”
(dh.).
Focus, focus acha. By my side it doesn't mean he'll propose to you, it's just ordinary words, there's no way Andi meant such a thing.
I took some kale and spinach, while Andi took 2 cabbage and 3 large tempeh.
“Cabe please choose chaa, don't know what kind of good chili me”
“yep is safe, if so Andi take 3 tomatoes yes. It's right there”
“bay”
The reason Andi does not like spicy may be the same as the reason of others, not resistant to spicy. A little spicy alone can make it a scolding. My mother used to prepare food for us and she accidentally gave chili to her, When we ate with Mom told us that she gave us a little chili.
Maybe Andi felt bad refusing Mother's food, she kept eating. A while later his sweat started to come out, Andi drank a lot. Mother had asked to stop eating because of the spiciness, but Andi still ate because he did not want to waste.
“already all vegetables Chaa?”,
“wait yaa, Acha see again” I check back the whole shopping list on his phone.
“aman, it's all. Next we go to the meat, chicken and fish area.
In this region, there are already several guards who are ready to help cut meat, chicken and fish as we want. So it does not take long, all the needs of meat, chicken, and fish are met.
“egg again ya chaa”,
“iyaa, need 2 dozen eggs”,
“short wild, acha select 12, I 12”
“yaa, alright”,
The location of the eggs is near the meat area. Many eggs are provided, customers are welcome to choose the desired egg, then the price is adjusted based on weight. Because the place where the eggs are square is quite large, Andi and I are opposite each other.
A woman picked an egg near me.
“mbaak, please egg that it” The woman asked me for help.
“this one?”,
“iyaa”,
“saf mbak, this egg I have chosen.” I took the egg and put it near me, after collecting 12 new items I put into the plastic.
“hoo so, sorry yaa” mbak look towards Andi and then return to me.
“means the same yes that did him with mbak?” he pointed at Andi.
“yaa mbak..we shop together”,
“hoo. Happy tandem” he smiled then went somewhere else. Hearing her words made my face red again.
“Achaa again hurts?”,
“mmm. Andi select an egg”
“already, this is now waiting for Acha”,
“sorry, lama”,
“nothing, relax aja”,
Hearing these words made me lose focus. After putting in 12 eggs, we weighed and got the price of the eggs. For the next shopping list is quite easy, we both just need to go around the two and take as necessary. As I said earlier, I also shopped some snacks to refill my finished snacks.
“sudaah alla...” I returned Andi's phone.
“thank you, it's time to pay again”,
Fortunately the payment queue is not Long, only enough to queue 1 person.
“tunggi here chaa, some forgeta”
“yaa”
Andi went somewhere. The turn came to pay, I took out all my snacks first to be easily separated.
“add this mbak” without me realized, Andi has returned to bring 2 cups of chocolate flavored ice cream and stoberry. “ Acha groceries let Andi pay”
“makasih”
“aku who thanks for helping shopping”
“yaa, sometime if you want again stay kabinin”
“if it is, depending on the conditions yes”
All the groceries have been scanned and the total shopping is quite a lot. Andi issued a debit card to make payment. The possibility of the card is in the name of the mas or mbaknya, because we are still SMA is not old enough to make a debit card itself. And with that total spending, it is safer to pay with debit than with money.
“ini, Acha bring Egg and Acha aja” groceries
“bay”
Surely Andi brought a shopping bag full of meat, chicken, fish, vegetables and other groceries. Indeed, give the egg to me to avoid the egg breaking, but can divide the shopping in a balanced way.
Us out.
Andi pointed me to my seat.
“relax first, we ice cream first before cair”
2 Eskrim cup is in the plastic that I brought, after sitting I gave Andi a steberry flavor eskrim and chocolate for me.
“sore-afternoon jolly good escrim”
“justify”
The sky became our light, the number of people walking into our spectacle, and the sound of vehicles filled us when we were silent. Aahh.
“oiya chaa, please tell dad this Saturday Andi wants to come to shop”
“well, want to buy?”
“not, request rakitin computer”
“busy times yes until can not raft by yourself?”
“yaa not really, again males aja”
“don't males dong..well later acha kabarin dad”.
I know he did not want to worry me because of his busyness, therefore he used the word lazy.
“how are the independence preparations tomorrow?”
“aman kok for tomorrow.oiya Acha participate in the Cooking and Ranking competition 1 so please-”.
“Acha can cook?” with his shocked face.
“ya can dong... gini-gini already many acha can cook”
“hoo so, want to taste the taste of Acha” cuisine
“yaa if you want, come when the race later. Instead..”.
“mau what?”
“please support Acha ya”
“aman, with all of Andi's heart support. For free food”
“aaah..whatever..” I'm upset, but happy.
“if Andi participate in any race?”
“no come, others are very excited to the slot” section
“sure what is it?”
“yaa is okay, Andi also want to try the Vear tool that will be released later tonight”
“oiya, it's dh want to release. Don't stay up late playing..”.
“iyaaa safe Achaa..”
A Gameplay Tool Named Vear, created by a group of people who want to make us feel the game for real. One of the people in the group was Andi's father. Therefore Andi can get Vear first than anyone else.
“if you want, Acha want Vear same adek Acha also”
“don't first, he's again a repeat test. Later even do not focus the same test repeat”
“hoo so, yes anyway..btw, how do you do Acha test?”
Starting Monday last week, we have started to carry out a repeat test which is a test to test our ability to learn 1 chapter in the lesson.
“amaan... even Acha can almost perfect grades in all lessons”.
“hoo that, good-nice. If so want to be given a gift for his achievement?”
“mmm...no need, because this is enough kok” my voice is getting smaller.
“apa? Shrink Acha.” sound
“nothing, nothing..”aku calms myself again. “no need really Ndi”
“ok lah, eskrim is up. yuk we go home”
“yaa..”
Arriving home. My mother welcomed both of us, after saying goodbye to Mom, Andi came home soon. Cleaning myself up, eating with the family and after making sure there was no schoolwork I could finally relax. Checking the phone from earlier refill, there was already a message from Salma.
“eeee...who was Achaa? How can he call Acha at school and Salma not?”
Looks like tonight my job is to explain a little bit about my relationship with Andi.
