Chapter 30.

Tring... Tring...

It's just the first ring and Gathan has bounced out of his seat.

"Uh, where are you going?" asked Mr. Rishat when he saw Gathan standing from his chair.

"Want to go home, sir."

"I haven't ended the lesson today." Mr. Rishat looked at Gathan confused.

"Ee, but it's a bell, sir," Gathan said, giving reason.

"Sit down first! Where are you going in such a hurry?"

"Want a date, sir!" shouted Binar in response to Mr. Rishat's question on behalf of Gathan.

Gathan glanced at the giggling Binar next to him. His eyes bulge towards his best friend while saying 'damn' without sound.

"Oh, date anyway." Mr. Rishat manggut-manggut. The middle-aged man with the thin mustache smiled mischievously. "But I have a job for you, Than."

"Yes, sir. That's how..." Gathan complained of not accepting.

Gathan's classmates held back laughter at the young man's expression.
