Sometimes Friends are the Enemy
The Part 24

At the market, her grandmother bought honey and milk for Betty but she did not buy it for her either. Because all he thought about was supporting his granddaughter's wishes. Only then had he been so moved and excited since seeing his granddaughter mature.

After shopping, he immediately went home because he wanted to cook a special meal for the two of them.

Then when he arrived at home, he quickly cleaned the fish and vegetables he had bought and immediately processed them. He gave the best seasoning preparations so that simple fish turned into delicious food.

He was very excited as if he was about to prepare a special banquet.

After doing all that, she went to Betty's room and in her hand was a glass of warm milk.

He peeked out from behind the door and saw his grandson so seriously summarizing the difficult questions from the subject matter he had learned earlier in school.

Her grandmother was getting excited to see her and couldn't wait to get in. So he opened the door wide and went in and approached Betty.

"It looks like Grandma's granddaughter took her studies very seriously. Are you guys gonna have a test soon?" Ask enthusiastically.

"Ah, grandma. Not really. Is that in Grandma's hand?

"It's milk. Drink that. So you have the energy to think."

"Ih...

I am fat grandma. Later if I drink milk, my body will be fat."

"Betty's grandma's granddaughter, you're not fat. But it's full or fat." Reply while putting the milk on the study table.

"Just like nek. It doesn't make any difference."

"Oh, don't get me wrong! There's a difference."

"What's the difference? I know it anyway."

"Listen well, if it's 'Fat', there's no hope for thin. Or very unlikely to be thin. While 'Fat', still have hope for thin. You are not fat anyway. Believe it."

"Ah. Grandma is just an excuse. Tell me so I'll drink the milk. Aye right? I'll drink grandma. Just calm. Besides grandma is tired of this ready, would love if not drunk."

So he immediately took the glass of milk and immediately finished it right then and there. Then he spoke again,

"Grandma, I'm going to Tuti's house tonight. So from today we will often study groups. We learn to take turns. That is, it's not just at Tuti's house. Maybe tomorrow at our house, and tomorrow again at Linda's.

The three of us wanted to graduate with satisfactory grades. Oh well, I haven't told you about grandma. The three of us wanted to be flight attendants."

"But Linda doesn't think she can. I mean he does want to. But heavy on the cost of the nek. Doesn't my grandmother know that Linda's father is lazy to work? His father usually only asked for money from his mother. If he works just a little, the demand is a lot. He works for her to eat too, right? And for his own family. Trus, if his request is not obeyed, or his desire is not conveyed, his father immediately angry. Banting all things Grandma. The dish shelf's been ruined."

"Then anyway? How does grandma know?"

"Yes grandma. Betty's serious. Therefore, Tuti and I plan to set aside our allowance to help with Linda's education costs. But he can't know. If he finds out, he'll reject it. Well, we're not a rich family anyway. Dad and mom just have to work as a TKI in order to finance Betty's school. But sharing for your own friends can't it be Grandma?"

His grandmother was even more moved to see how mature his grandson now thinks. He is no longer a grandson who often fights and strikes when he is angry with his friends. So his grandmother enthusiastically replied,

"Of course you can dong. That's exactly what Grandma taught you all along. To our friends, we must help each other. No need to wait for rich can help. If you have applied this early on, your friendship will be stronger, even later if you are adults and married.

But before we go, we eat first. Grandma's been cooking special meals for you. So that you have extra energy to think later."

"Seriously grandma? Funny...!"

"Well already. You ready, grandma wait in the kitchen?"

"Mmmm..." Betty nodded then quickly tidied up her book.

************

Meanwhile at Tuti's house, her father seems busy chopping up mutton as Linda requests, processing the seasoning and cooking it. Only he himself works and is not helped by his wife at all.

Her husband did not allow her for fear that her cooking would spoil. So he asked his wife to sit casually in front of the TV, while Tuti studied in his room.

When he finished studying, he took his piggy bank and dismantled it. Fragments of metal and paper were scattered on the floor. Then he counted the money he had saved for several years. He did not expect the number to be enough. Looking at the money in his hand, he spoke to himself,

"I was thinking of giving this money to Linda to help with her education. But... After I counted this number, I did not have the heart. How do I feel good about giving this money away? The time I didn't enjoy the money I saved with great difficulty anyway? Nice dong the Linda. I'm tired of holding back my taste, he's enjoying his money. I'm not willing. I also have something I'd love to buy. And I'm gonna use this money. And then if the money is left over, I'll give it to Linda. Yeah! The rest I just gave to Linda."

After that he took his phone and saw the things he had been craving all this time on the internet.

It was a MacBook Pro. So much time he spent looking for the type he wanted the most and matched his money. Then after getting it, he commented again,

"Well...

After I spent this money, the rest stayed three hundred and eighty-five thousand. This isn't enough.

But.let's. There's still one more year. For one year I will save. Don't you mind my friend Linda? I did not forget to help my friend. But I also have to save myself first. Aye right?"

Then after he got what he wanted, he immediately went down to his father in the kitchen and his face was very cheerful.
