Sometimes Friends are the Enemy
The Part 31

From then on they studied more seriously and took every question seriously on their worksheets. If there are students who are annoying idle, Siti will stand in the front row to block it. They sat together to form a group so they could discuss with each other.

In each subject, they pay attention and look carefully and note if there is something they do not understand.

Then when the afternoon break arrived, Betty, Linda, and Tuti approached Siti to discuss the group's learning activities. Betty sat down next to him and said, " Sit, usually every night we would gather to study groups. And since you're a new member, how about tonight we study at your house? You don't mind, do you?"

Linda and Tuti confirmed the suggestion, "Well, it's Sit!"

"I'm so happy that we studied at my house. If my father saw it, my father would have been proud and would probably have added my allowance to his learning spirit." Siti said with great enthusiasm.

Hearing that Linda complained inwardly, "I think the most unfortunate child is just me. I was never given pocket money with my father. Never mind giving pocket money, mother's money was gnawed. Try I can get on Siti's family card list, it'll be fun."

But in her daydream, Siti noticed him and patted him on the shoulder so that he came to his senses. "Hey, why dumbass? Think what the hell?" Ask.

"Huh? Whahuh? There's no." Answer stammering.

Then Siti asked again, "What time do you usually study?"

"Eight night hours. But ten o'clock in the evening, we usually eat. Yeah! Eat up! Because for two hours of thinking, all our stomach contents have been drained out into energy channeled to the brain. So to fill that void again, we would usually eat at the house in question." Answer Tuti.

"Ckckck.. It turns out your stomach, belly fat. Good thing your brain isn't an empty barrel that sounds like it." Siti said while shaking her head in surprise to hear their habits.

"What's? Goddamnit!" Reply Tuti.

Then Betty connected, "So how? Are you ready for Sit?"

"Eit...

About small food. My dad will cook for all of us. Well I called my dad first.

Uh, but what do you want to eat tonight?"

"What is important is delicious and halal." Say them all.

So he immediately called his father and said some food that he should cook. But his father was so shocked when he heard it that his phone almost fell from his trembling hands, because the food he had to cook was quite a lot. His co-workers looked at him in surprise and said, "You're why?"

"Ah. there's nothing." He laughed and continued his work again. He was one of the wood chair craftsmen in one of the furniture companies.

Then after contacting her father, Siti said arrogantly to them, "You see for yourself right? About small food. You can eat to my satisfaction."

Everyone smiled in response.

But when she got home, Linda was taken aback by a message she saw on the dinner table. I don't know what happened after he went to school. She read that her mother decided to go to a distant place that was not mentioned. She left because she was bored and fed up with the behavior of her husband who was always at will. His mother entrusted him to the care of his father and promised to pay the cost of his education to college.

'Studying hard, son. I know your ideals even though you have a hard time expressing them. I was forced to leave so that the money I got was not forced by your father. But that money can send you to a higher level. Stay well with your father. Are you used to eating what you are? It's mundane. For something big we have to fight. But later after you succeed, then you can enjoy what you cannot enjoy first.' His mother said in a short letter.

She cried bitterly after reading it and did not stop thinking. In his brain only flashed the question, "Did they fight again?"

His appetite was gone and he was just moody all day and sleeping.

When the time had shown almost 8 pm, Linda woke up because of the vibration and tone of her phone that sounded many times. While lifting it up, Tuti immediately snapped at him, "Hey! Where the hell is it? The phone just lifted! You where? Why haven't you come?"

He quickly looked at the screen of his phone, and only about 10 more minutes of time would show eight o'clock exactly. "Geez!" He said while patting his head.

Then he said again before turning off his phone "Well. I'll be there soon. Just wait a minute."

He changed his clothes and changed the book in his bag and left.

He ran quickly across each alley, exerting all the energy he had left despite the empty stomach. His running speed made his hair fly in the direction of the wind until his wide eel looked wider as the bangs covering him were carried backwards.

Until finally, after running for about fifteen minutes at a speed of 50 km/h, he finally arrived at Siti's house with almost exhausted power.

His heart skipped a beat and quickly accompanied by a breath of breath until his voice reached the house.

Siti, Tuti, and Betty who heard him were astonished.

"It must be Linda." Betty.

"Yes. Let's see!" The Siti.

So they went out to check it out.

"You why Lin?" Ask Tuti.

"Yes. Are you chasing dogs? Or is there a bad guy following you?" Connect Betty.

But he could not answer because he was so tired. So they immediately took him in and waited for him until he calmed down.
