Sometimes Friends are the Enemy
Part 21's. Tragedy of Green Bean Porridge

Upon his arrival at home, he placed the porridge on the dining table and went hurriedly to his room to change clothes. Shortly after, his father came home and headed straight for the dinner table. He sat down sighing tiredly for a moment until finally his focus was sidetracked on a pot. He could not wait to open the lid to see if the pot had food or not.

As soon as he opened it, he was shocked at once confused.

"Huh? Green bean porridge? Very much indeed. There is an event what suddenly cook a pot of green bean porridge. Why didn't mom say it. The porridge is still warm again. The stomach is hungry again. Take the plate ah..."

He immediately took the plate and scooped it to the plate until it was almost full and ate it voraciously.

Meanwhile Linda was still dressing up and getting ready, so her father had plenty of time to spend on two full plates. Not to forget he also took another plate and kept it in the fridge for him to have dinner.

Then after eating until he was full, he went again somewhere and let the plate and spoon fall apart on the table. While his wife went to his close friend's house to confide in him as he often did if he was dizzy.

After Linda finished preparing, she immediately went down towards the dining table and opened the lid of the pot to check it out. But how shocked he was to see that the porridge was half gone.

"Huh? Who ate the porridge until it stayed this way?" Ask while stirring the porridge occasionally. Then he said again and started to get angry.

"It's unlikely that the mother ate this much. This porridge was full. Why stay half anyway? It's not possible to eat a cat, is it? Didn't Dad eat it? He's not eating it messy and very greedy? But I didn't hear the sound of the bike coming home. Well.how. That's not enough for four."

Then he went out to see if his father could come home and go again. He asked one of his neighbors, an old man sitting on his porch.

"Sir, did you see my father coming home?"

"Yes. But he's gone again. I see he's in a hurry."

Hearing that, he was silent for a moment while harboring a great resentment and grumbling in his heart before leaving.

"That's right! Habit. Always be upset! Always be willing! Can you do it before you eat it?"

He sat down at the dinner table and was very upset. Then suddenly his phone rang. Then he took it out of his pocket and became more stressed because the one who contacted him was Tuti who had been waiting for him since.

"Well" he replied limp.

"Lin, so isn't it? You are so long. I'm tired of waiting for you until the gini banquet. Where are you?"

"I'm at home."

"What's? In-house? What the hell were you doing from earlier? The point is not to go to Betty's house? If not, let me watch."

"Tut, the green bean porridge is a little. That was a lot. But my father suddenly came and ate it. How dong."

"Yes already. You bring the rest. I will also bring food from here as an addition. My father cooked a few specials and a few more. I've set aside some of it to take me there."

"Well, good luck. What cooking is Tut?"

"It's the lizard-eye egg soup flavored with coriander and turmeric powder."

"I'm serious Tuti. I'm kidding males again. Cook what?"

"Ntar you know too. Now, hunt here. Let's go together."

**********

Arriving there he was shocked to see Tuti who was already standing firmly in front of the door while emitting an aura of tension mixed with annoyance because he had waited for a long time.

"You are so long Lin! I'm tired of waiting for you to show up here." Annoyed annoyed.

"Well, sorry. There was a little disturbance on the road. It's the boys' habit in the field of temptation that I keep fitting me through. So I pull the move first."

"Allah.. a lot of talk! Nevermind! Let's go!"

They immediately went to Betty's house and each brought food.

***********

"Betty...!

Bett's...." Call both of them and knock on the door.

Soon his grandmother came and opened the door.

"You guys. What's up?"

"In his room. What was? What are you guys carrying?"

"Ah.. It's just a little meal grandma." Answer Linda.

"Tumbens. What show is it? Come inside-in!

Hold on, grandma call Betty first."

Her grandmother immediately went up to Betty's room and told her to go down.

"Bett! Comeondown! Your friends are coming. They also bring food. What show is it? How can grandma not know?"

"What's? The food? What are those two people doing?" His grunt.

"Why indeed? Did you guys fight again? Adolescents now...

It's already! Comeondown! Later they wait. Let's wake. Don't sleep mute. Girls can't be lazy."

"LT...! Ja. Ja. Grandma get off first. Betty will follow."

His grandmother immediately went down and warmly reprimanded the two teenagers. They also eat the dishes they bring. Then before long Betty went down to meet them while grumbling in her heart,

"Well, what else are these two kids here for? Must be trying to ridicule me again and make fun of me again. Sok-sook close again same old granny slang."

"Bett, let's eat. We brought your favorite food." Tegur Tuti while throwing a smile.

"Yes Bett. They also brought Grandma's favorite food. Indeed, the grandchildren of this grandmother are very well aware of the wishes of the grandmother." Connect grandma.

But Betty did not touch the food in the slightest but just watched them dine.

"Why don't you eat Bett?" Ask Tuti.

"Still full!" He spoke very loudly while crossing his hands and turning his face away. Then he grumbled inwardly,

"It's so clever these two boys are looking for the same face as the slang granny."

He just watched them dine until it was over.

*********

Then after they had eaten, they told them the purpose of their arrival. But not the truth for fear of being lectured by the grandmother again. They just said that their arrival just wanted to learn the group. Hearing that his grandmother was happy and immediately told them to go to the room to study.

As they boarded, betty still walked uninspired because she did not want their arrival. In the room, the three were silent for a few minutes. No one dared to speak first because confused to talk from where. Linda and Tuti also came without a single book.

Finally, because she could not bear to look stupid, Betty spoke up later and asked in annoyance.

"What are you guys actually doing?"

Tuti immediately responded innocently, too,

"Bett, we'd like to apologize. Don't be quiet anymore, dong. We were friends since childhood. Time to get angry immediately. We've bullied each other a lot."

"It's Bett." Connect Linda.

Then Betty took a deep breath and spoke.

"I don't really want to keep going like this either. We're not kids anymore, are we? Soon we will graduate and move on to higher levels. That is, we have entered adulthood. We also need to be mature minded. Aren't you? But yes, never mind! We missed the past."

"So, is the story better?" Ask Linda.

Betty simply nodded her head and smiled forcefully and said again,

"Because you said you wanted to learn, so you have to keep it. I want to study math tonight. You taught me well. You two are smart."

"mmm... That's that's easy. Isn't it Lin?" Ask Tuti.

"Mmmm!"

So Betty immediately took out her book and they began to teach her and work on some examples of problems ranging from easy to difficult. So that they do not tense up, sometimes they joke and mock each other while laughing.
