Sweet Promise of Student President
Talk to Him

Ara was still there with the ice cream cup she was holding. "Where is Neng's girlfriend," asked the father of the ice cream seller who had watched Abi leave.

Ara did not reply, the girl could only smile knots at the one asking.

Ara also had no idea where Abi was going and why. He could only wait there because that was Abi's message to him earlier.

While waiting for Abi to come back, Ara kept a cup of ice cream and started eating hers.

Although it tasted good, but Ara ate it with no pleasure because her mind was floating on Abi.

"Where the hell is he? Go don't say it" he said, continuing to bribe ice cream into his mouth.

I don't know how long Ara's been waiting there. Even now the ice cream was exhausted and moved to his stomach.

But Abi did not come. To relieve her sense of boredom, Ara finally pulled out her phone and started playing it.

Not much he saw there, just open social media and WhatsApp application who knows Abi contact via WhatsApp.

But not a single notification came in. At the end, he heard a sound of footsteps approaching him.

"I'm sorry I'm so long" Abi said with a gasping breath. I don't know what the man did until he looked so exhausted.

"Where are you from? Why so long?" ask Ara. He did not put the slightest suspicion on his lover.

"So I saw an old friend so I samperin him. We just talk about it and keep me coming back here" he replied.

Ara nodded in understanding. It should have been a long time to leave him. If you have talked to an old friend when walking is not felt.

"Have you finished the ice cream?" ask Abi. The man took a sitting position next to his lover.

"I've run out, you're so long so I eat first" replied Ara while showing her empty ice cream cup was not left.

"I'm sorry I didn't think it would be that long either" he said, wiping Ara's mane.

"It's got you eating first" Ara said as she offered Abi's cup of ice cream.

"You still want to?" ask Abi.

"You know, but my stomach is full" he replied.

"It's okay if you still want to. You can buy again later I pay all of you," said Abi.

Ara's smile expands as she has obtained permission from Abi to buy ice cream again.

Ara went to approach the ice cream salesman "Pak wants ya one more," he said.

Meanwhile Abi behind Ara followed him. "This is the money, sir, the same as before." Abi gave fifty thousand bills to the ice cream man. They return after getting change and Ara's ice cream.

“Emang your old friend when? Though you can talk here,” said Ara while eating ice cream.

“A-ah i-tu time SMA,” replied Abi with nervousness. “Partially he was in a hurry so it was just a moment,” he continued.

Ara could only nod affirming Abi's words. “Where else are you going now?” Abi asked after all this day they went together to and fro.

“His way home. My foot is already pegel,” replied Ara. There was no place he wanted to go after this.

**** 

“Wait here briefly yes, I went there first.” After saying that, Abi immediately went to approach the person.

Several times he lost track because so crowded people who passed by there. “Gue sure saw him earlier,” he said.

When he was about to surrender and was about to return to Ara, there was someone who touched his shoulder to make Abi jump.

Abi turned his back to see who it was. His breathing stopped for a moment, the moment he was about to give up, that person was actually right now before him.

“How are you?” ask a very sweet girl.

“Alda,” call it. Instead of answering the question posed by the girl, Abi instead called her so surprised she.

“Hmm it's me, how are you?” The girl called Alda asked again accompanied by her sweet smile.

“B-well,” replied Abi stuttering.

“We talked there,” invite Alda while pulling slowly Abi's hand towards an empty park bench.

The hand grip was very real and soft. Abi was transfixed and saw his hand held by Alda.

“Where are you going?” unconsciously, Abi's lips said so.

Before answering, Alda smiled wryly. “I study outside the city so I rarely go home. Yesterday I just came home because I have learned,” he replied.

Abi's forehead frowned when he heard that. He was a little confused because Alda had one generation with him, then how could the girl have finished studying?

“I managed to pursue my education for only two and a half years,” he said as if he knew what Abi was thinking.

“Ahh. No wonder anyway, from the first you were smart.” Abi chimed in and nodded. For some reason, there was a sense of pride in his heart when he heard that from Alda.

“You're great too. Didn't think you could be Student President,” said Alda.

“Where did you know?” ask Abi. He felt that he had broken off contact with the girl so it was impossible that the girl would know of his life.

“I saw on your campus social media. Very cool,” he replied. Abi nodded and smiled misbehaviorally when praised by Alda.

“Oh yes, I want to apologize.” Alda's words again made Abi turn his head and fall silent.

“Make what?”

“My Papah is the same as you. I have been wanting to apologize for a long time. But at that time I immediately went out of town so there was no time to meet you. Yesterday when I came home I also had the intention to meet you and apologize, but by chance now we meet here,” he explained.

“You are not wrong. He did it because he wanted the best for his daughter. Proven now you can be proud of your Papah,” replied Abi.

“In addition to Papah, there are others who want me to make proud,” said Alda suddenly.

Abi felt discouraged because it meant that his role had been replaced by the special person referred to by Alda just now.

“Fortunate for sure that person,” said Abi. After all Abi was not too hopeful because now he already had Ara.

“I hope that person also thinks rich. And I hope he doesn't mind if I want to go back with him.” From here Abi started to feel bad.

“Hmm, that person is you.”
