Uta & Alber [EN]
108. Ask for Help

The Alber POV

I just finished taking a shower, ridding myself of the sticky feeling, all day effect way out. After feeling refreshed, I chose to get ready for bed. I lay my body on the bed, while I looked at the ceiling of my room whose light was dim.

My room lights have been extinguished, I only turn on a low-light sleep lamp. At first glance I saw 2 jars of cookies, which I put on a small table beside the bed. The cookies that fixed my bad mood these two days.

I send a message of thanks, for this special gift to the tie girl. He replied with a smile emoticon. A smile that automatically rubs at me. Magic.

Recall the message on sticky notes that Uta wrote for me. Honestly arise feelings of guilt, for having been indifferent to him. It was not something I wanted to intentionally, but something I could not control because it was affected by emotional turmoil.

Flashback starts

Today is the agenda of Z1 3rd class graduation celebration. The graduation event will only start at about eleven o'clock at noon, because eight o'clock will be done clean, for students who will be graduated. Exactly, because Babam ordered me to first, attend a morning meeting at the company. I was sent Babam to discuss further projects.

For that, this morning I was neat in a formal suit. The meeting went well, but it seemed to take longer than I expected. Fortunately, the new time shows at 10:15, there is still time to arrive on time at the Z1 multipurpose building.

I drove the black guy to one of the gas stations, it seems that the black one is starting to thirst and should be given a drink with the Pertamax Turbo type. After the black one is full, I'll take the black one off for a second, to go to the toilet at the gas station.

I replaced the formal suit I was wearing, with a Z1 batik uniform. I do that because, students in 1st and 2nd, attending graduation are required to use batik uniforms, while male graduates are the ones who use formal suits.

Inevitably, I'll just have to replace it at the gas station. I avoid wearing school uniforms in the Babam company area, to maintain authority. In addition, I do not want to be considered a snot by the employees there, considering I have been involved by Babam handling several projects.

People in the company, no longer look one eye just because I was very young. They have acknowledged that I have the quality to handle the projects Babam has entrusted. Then it's not funny, if I'm milling around in a Z1 uniform over there.

And on the contrary, I don't want to come to the graduation ceremony still wearing a formal suit. I don't want people to think I'm in the wrong costume if I replace it in Z1. Then replacing in the gas toilet is the most appropriate option.

After changing into a costume, I continued on my way to the venue. I parked the black guy in a parking lot that was already very crowded with people there. My eyes were looking for the whereabouts of someone who was the reason, I was excited to attend this graduation.

"When's coming? I've been looking for you from before." My greeting to Uta who is with Reta. Yeah, he's the reason I came to attend graduation.

Today Uta was closed Annem because of the annual school event, which I was actually lazy to attend despite being obliged to attend, with the threat of being suspended. But because Uta did not come home and definitely attended graduation, I finally chose to attend the event.

Funny thing is he gave me a code of silence. Shortly after, Reta left us, wanting to go to the toilet. Beyond my prediction Uta pulled my arm, for us to pull over from the crowd. That's where he explains at length what happened. Apparently the complicated love story of Edgar, Elma and Reta. A complicated heavy case, reasonable girl tie until dizzy.

He is in a dilemma of having to be neutral between his two best friends, Reta and Edgar. One side I messianic with him, but on the other side he looks funny when confused like this. Uta then chose to go after Reta, making me decide to go straight into the graduation room.

When just entering the multipurpose room, it looks like the place has been magic so beautifully. Perfect for an important event like this. Seats have been arranged in such a way, and are divided into 4 categories based on location.

The principal and teacher staff were at the very front, followed by the parents of the 3rd grade students. Right behind him is the seat of prospective graduates. The last one is for students in grades 1 and 2.

Looks half the room is filled. Each of them choose freely, which chair to sit. I also secured some seats, at least for me, Uta and Reta. Before long this voice that had been interacting with me was heard.

"By!" Seto loudly called out to me, no matter what people looked at him. They walked closer to me.

"Eh Set, San. Join bro." I took them to join, there happened to be 2 more seats and no one had.

"Pas really." Seto patted my shoulder. He and Sandi, then sat down to fill two empty no man's bench. Soon someone approached us.

"Alber." Ms. Melati, the art teacher apparently called me.

"Yes, Mom." I said, getting up from the chair because he wasn't sitting.

"Eh there's a beautiful Melati ma'am, who's always beautifully embellished." Seto said as usual.

"Your custom Set, a template mode. Alber, can I ask you a favor!!" He protested to Seto, and he asked me again. While Seto was already smiling grin is not clear.

"What can I help you with?" Reply finally.

"The graduation attendant piano had fainted in front, and the office staff was taken to the hospital. Because the incident was sudden, I was confused to find a replacement. Hence, I ask you to help you change today, so an impromptu pianist." Say the purpose he wants.
