Sometimes Friends are the Enemy
The Part 26
They mocked him and kept laughing.
"Lin, even though we will eat gulai goat, how? Can your tongue still catch up later?" Tuti Ejek.
"Well.pity...
Though you have long craved the gulai goat. You're making me tonight, Lin." Connect Betty.
But he just stared at the two in annoyance. His eyes were sharp as if ready to pounce on the two of them. But he kept focusing on his pain.
Realizing that there might be a dispute, Tuti immediately acted to end the situation. Then Linda finished studying the group and immediately put all her books in the bag and came out in a hurry.
"Wait!" Megat Tuti's. He pulled Linda's hand to stop her steps.
"Hurrying greatly. We haven't eaten yet. Eat first dong Lin. I'm tired of that masakin Lin. I worked hard with my father to prepare it. And I set aside the best part for you. That's when you directly scold Lin. We were just kidding. Isn't that Bett?"
"Benefit Lin. After all, we have often been. You don't know each one of us yet." Connect Betty.
Linda who was silent by the door said in her heart mocking Betty. "Sok-sok'an nasehatin me. He himself is even more easily angry. Every time he gets angry, his hair curls quickly."
Tuti immediately connected Betty's words. "That's it. Let's go downstairs. I am so hungry. English lessons drain all my resources."
So they immediately went down following Tuti to the kitchen. They immediately sat down while waiting for Tuti to serve rice and the goat gulai on the table.
Then when all was presented on the table, Tuti immediately poured the best part on Linda's plate according to her promise and told her to eat.
"This is Lin, eat it. I deliberately set aside a part of her heart for you because you like to eat hearts, right?"
"Yes! The proof was that I ate hearts because of you two." Ketus answer.
"Yes sorry. Yes, let's eat!" Betty.
The three of them ate voraciously, especially Linda who ignored her sore tongue when swallowing. He swallowed up three plates full of rice covered in goat's gulai. His heart was delighted that his wish had been fulfilled.
Although it would be difficult to walk later, he did not care and added one last serving of rice on his plate. How not? The very simple economy makes it difficult to consume meat.
At ten o'clock in the evening, they finished dinner. Piles of messy dirty dishes on the table complete with droplets of gulai soup that spilled from each bend.
But they say goodbye to leave Tuti after eating everything on the grounds that it was late at night. They did not wash the dirty dishes or clean the table, so that night it was Tutilah who cleaned it himself and finished it at eleven p.m. In his heart he nagged, "Basic of lazy people and many excuses!"
***********
In the morning at school, Tuti secretly meets Betty before lessons begin. She asks if Betty has put the money aside to help Linda's education.
But when Betty mentioned the amount of money she had set aside, Tuti felt shocked because the amount was beyond what she had imagined. He also felt bad about the amount of money he would give. But as Betty continues to force her, Tuti finally opens her mouth.
"Bett, my money is only three hundred and eighty-five thousand."
"It's a habit to look at it. I'm not done talking. There's still a year left for Bett's tube anyway. Yesterday I bought something and it was a long time ago I dreamed. I'll be more active in that. I promise."
"Goodoo. All three of us should always be together. School together, study together, and fly together."
"Yes! Just don't die together." Ketus reply.
When they finished talking, Tuti saw Linda looking for him. So Tuti immediately gestured to Betty for them to talk about something else.
Linda walked lethargicly toward the two as she was called. Betty and Tuti whispered to each other before she arrived, "He's what?" Is he sick?"
"No way. Last night he was fine. Did you see him eat that much last night?"
"Yes. Why is he?"
"Eitherway. Maybe there's a problem at home."
As soon as Linda arrived, Betty immediately asked her how she was, "you why Lin? How not to be excited."
"Yes. Are you sick?" Connect Tuti.
"Well...." Linda took a deep breath as if the burden on her shoulders was so heavy.
"Last night, when I got home, it was a mess. My father did it again. I don't know when I'll live with a father like that. Always troublesome! My mom and dad had a fight with their mouths. All they have to do is about money. My father always forced money from my mother. Though he knows for himself my mother's income is also mediocre. It's for that reason that I don't dare dream too high."
"Patience is Lin." Both of them were just encouraging despite not knowing what to reveal.
"Don't think about it again Lin. You will not focus on learning. You know we'll be testing soon. Do you remember we got good grades? Even if you keep thinking about it, it won't be solved right?" Betty.
"Yes Lin. Yes, we go to class. The bell will be ringing soon." Connect Tuti.
The three of them walked into the classroom. And sure enough, they just sat for a while, the entrance bell rang.
Before long a teacher who was as tall and slender in stature entered their class. The teacher gave instructions that they immediately get ready to enter the laboratory because they will examine the structure of the frog's organs. Frogs that each group has prepared.
As soon as the teacher finished giving instructions and left, Tuti immediately joined the members of his group and immediately searched one of them with a myriad of questions,
"You got the word, right? Whereabouts? Big or not? Are the frogs male or female? Still single or already a frog mom?"
"What the hell is it? Reticulous reply. Then the male student answered him annoyed, "I got a big one! Pleased! The large sauce, you can cook frog porridge later finished research. Eh no! Frog porridge!"
"Ih! It's just angry. I'm fine."
Then one of the students from his group stopped them from getting more fierce. "Already! It's already! Let's go soon. The other group's already on the go."
They immediately went and sat on the front row bench because they were given the number one.
