Ch 4 : Class Gathering

Day by day, Raihan still focused his mind to absorb the knowledge from his lecturer. His priority is always his study.

Aside from that, he also keep monitored his stock whenever he was free. The broker gave him a simple app that can monitored stocks movement and can be opened from my PC or even smartphone.

From the graph he knew, It's steadily going up from time to time. event thought it's not really noticeable from the start.

Well, he just need to trust his broker. Professional know best.

Raihan planned to pay the loan back this week, also he wanna tried to increase his investment every week, Now he has unlimited one million in his bank account. It's not a problem for him.

After school over. Our class president come to the podium. His name is Abi. He was a dude with big body but not fat with over 180 cm in height. Curly hair, round face, and passionate looking pair of eyes.

"Guys and Lads, can I have a minute of your time." Everyone in class sat back and curiously looking at our class president. "Great, now everyone is here, I want to tell you my idea so we can get to know each other really well."

"My idea is we go to restaurant to eat and chit chat after that to karaoke."

Murmured sound made the classroom that at beginning quiet became noisy.

Pak pak, Abi clapped his hand to make the room quieter.

"If you have more ideas, please tell us now."

"How about camping?"

"Fishing is also good"

"Let's read a book and compare our review together!"

"I think playing games together will make our bonds stronger."

"Cafe is better right?"

"How about beach muehehe."

Every girls in class fall silent and cursed that guy.

"The worst."

"He's a beast."

"There's something wrong with his head."

"Keep dreaming!"

Ooof, we (Guy) silently sent our condolences to him.

Class president that also put his palms together, finally reacted.

"Camping rejected, we have no time until the first semester is done, FIshing? dude you mean talk to a fish? Book review? better make your own club activities. Girls won't be agree playing games together. Cafe is okay, I'll try to find restaurant with variant of beverages on the menu. Beach? uh, forget about it."

"I heard no one object to my opinion on going to restaurant and karaoke right? Great."

"Now I need to take a survey about the your free time. I know many of us have some job or have activities somewhere else. So please write your free time in the sheet that Vice president gave to you."

It was a simple sheet with column and row to determined everyone's free time.

"For side notes. I think this activities will done before 10 P.M. So you can rest assured especially for girls."

How considerate of him.

After everyone write their answer, vice president collect our paper sheet and bring it to Abi.

"Thank you for the attention, I will announce the result at night in our class group line. So for those who still now in the group, please do so."

After that Abi and the vice president Aji, went out. Class become noisy from chit chat and clattering of chair here and there. Everyone was looking forward to the class activities.

Finally Saturday was coming.

Raihan prepared really well for this gathering. A day before the gathering. He bought some clothes, a plain white t-shirt that fit him, good thing that his body isn't fat but also not skinny. So, it's not really hard for him to find some good clothes. Pair it with dark blue denim jacket, Black jeans and white sneakers.

Fortunately he had enough money for it. It's actually the first time he came to the that particular store that had every men's wear. He needed to bought it one by one tho.

The looks from the clerk that day made him want to hide his face from this earth.

Day passed and now the gathering day. He's ready.

Raihan also didn't forget to pay the loan in one go and he also increase the investment for another million yesterday.

He arrived with Bagas and found half of them is already there.

"Let's wait for another ten minutes. If no one comes, tell them to come immediately to the restaurant." Said Abi.

The restaurant located pretty far from our university. So everyone need to go there with car, motorcycle, or using online driver.

Ten minutes later we arrived at the restaurant. Raihan, Bagas and two of my friends, Iqbal and Yusuf took Bagas car. Boss or Abi also bring a car so he can took some people with him. From the girls side, There is this one girl, her name is Astelle. She also bring a car and brought some to her car especially girls. The rest of them had motorcycle or took an online driver together to reduce the cost.

It's so lively in the restaurant, maybe because it's a weekend row of car parked in front of the restaurant. From the most ordinary to a billion IDR SUV.

Abi took the lead and brought us to second floor, the noise suddenly get quiet and jazz piano BGM played in the corridor.

Abi booked a private room for us. After he told the staff to brought his friend here, if they told his name. We finally can took a look at the room. First thing first, it's trendy and spacious. Simple looking room, A circular table placed near the window, Big, wide, curved TV and also row of sofa facing it. Everyone surprised by the room, it was also Raihan first time come to this kind of private room restaurant.

The atmosphere gradually build up. Some of them played games in their phone, girls took a selfie.

Raihan his friends ordered some drinks and snacks while playing games and chatting. By chatting He meant cursing.

"Gas, don't go too far."

"Han, help me. 2 squad here Fukk."

"Wait, where are you guys, I Just finish loot this house. Wait, why it's already shrinking a lot, I won't make it!!!!"

"Take that shit, Stupid dumbass die!!."

Raihan character died and accidentally he look out of the window and found his friend in the parking lot, arguing with someone

He knows her. She was Mari, they weren't talk much, but she was his classmates after all.

'Should I tell her friends about it? Tell the boss? or get there myself?'

He looked around, but everyone is so focused with their thing. So he might as well help her.

He quietly got up and leaved the room without anyone noticing.
