"Uncle wants to know huh..." Hardi teased, Somehow the fear of the man's fierce face slowly faded away from Hardi.
"Just wanna know"
Hardi smiled wittily, "Then Hardi will tell you the answer later"
Again the teenager focused himself on the cellphone, playing games. Confused if you have to talk to fierce uncle who is so economical with words.
"Aaah! Quota ran out again!" He complained that he was annoyed, even though the game was just about to start.
"Is there a counter here?" He monologue wondered as he looked out the window. He reached into his hoodie pocket, then moved to his pants pocket, nothing. There was nothing there, not even in his wallet. Hardy panicked.
"Shit! Where's my money?"
"Why?" Asked fierce uncle.
"The money in Hardi's pocket is gone, uncle, there are no pants and wallets either," said the teenager nervously. Until a black card was seen floating in front of him, Hardi looked at fierce uncle.
"Use my card," he offered, shaking the card in the teenager's face.
"No need, uncle, just to buy pulse, at least I left it in my backpack, then Hardi comes out again, Uncle" He refused and left, leaving fierce uncle with his hand holding the card in the air.
With his hips on, Hardi looked at his backpack, which was wrapped in a tent on the hood of Rahmat's car. Sighing, Hardi went back up there. It was tiring even though he had just come from here to store his lunch box but had to come here again because the money might be in his backpack.
"What are you doing? We'll be leaving soon," explained Ibnu, exclaiming from the terrace of the food stalls.
"Get the money!"
Nothing, Hardi rummaged through the contents of the backpack with his hands hoping that the valuable paper might be tucked in between his belongings. Nothing, He squeezed his head and closed his eyes for a while.
Hardi glanced at his 6 friends who also looked at him questioningly. How is this, What should He do? It can be embarrassing if his friends find out he forgot to bring money.
"Why? Nothing huh?" His body jumped at the sound of the baritone hitting his eardrums.
Full of caution Hardi looked down, Don't know from when fierce uncle had been standing on the ground.
The teenager smirked, "Hehehe... Yes, uncle" he answered honestly. An idea crossed his mind, Why not just borrow it from fierce uncle?
Again, ominously reached into his jacket pocket and stretched out his hand containing the card, "Use this" Fierce uncle said curtly.
Hardi nodded shyly then went downstairs. After dealing with fierce uncle, he carefully pulled the black object from uncle hand.
"Thanks Uncle, when we go back to Paru City, Hardi will return the money." The teenager chirped, scratching his head, Fierce uncle nodded in response then turned back into Ibnu's car.
It was confirmed that Uncle had entered. Only then did Hardi jump for joy, "Wiiiih...black card! Sangkan imama labai ou sau aaine!"
(Wiiiih... black card! Even my mom don't even have one like this!)
Thankfully, no one saw the incident because it was blocked by a car. The teenager looked around. Maybe there was a counter around him.
"Meet!" Hardi shouted, he rushed out of the car park across the street where there happened to be a counter where he could top up his credit.
It was clear that Hardi did not know that his behavior did not go unnoticed by fierce uncle in the car. A thin smile of his trademark tugged on the man's lips.
"Children's Bastard"
*** HARD POV ***
I feel happy, fortunately there is Uncle Pradit, if not what will my fate be? I must have become the laughing stock of my friends.
I suddenly stopped my fast pace. PIN code! I patted my forehead, I almost forgot. I hastily turned back towards the car park and approached the place where uncle Pradit was sitting.
I immediately opened the door and slid my head in while grinning my horse, "Hehehe... Uncle, what's the PIN name, uncle?"
"151595" He answered then without thinking, How the great this fierce uncle I thought.
"Thanks Uncle Pradit!" I gave him an 'okay' hand before running back across the street. If someone asks why I just ran across, it's because there are no cars or motorbikes that I see passing on this road.
Arriving at the counter I immediately withdrew money from uncle Pradit's black card.
"Please enter the PIN code, kid." The owner of the counter said softly as he held out the EDC machine in front of me. I quickly typed the numbers there based on my memory of uncle Pradit's PIN code. After that I gave it back to the owner.
"Withdraw how much money?" he asked with a surprised face. Looks like the woman was surprised to see uncle Pradit's balance, I don't know maybe it's a lot hehehe...
"200 thousand, Sis" I answered quickly.
The owner of the counter nodded, "Ooh, Hehe... I guess 10 million, Kid" He chuckled and then came closer to me and whispered, "There's a lot of balance, right?" The woman winked at me.
I laughed along, "Hehehe... That's not my card, Sis, it's my uncle's, he's waiting in the car." Then I pointed to the direction of Ibnu's car park as well as Rahmat. I saw that the woman didn't seem to believe my words, But that's not a problem for me, the point is I've been honest with her.
"Here's the money, kid." He returned the card with the money I asked for earlier.
"Thank you sis, how much pulse is the top up?"
"Same as usual, the contents of 5 thousand costs 8 thousand, little brother" The owner of the counter explained, smiling kindly.
"Ooh... Then I'll top up 95 thousand Sis, here's the 200 thousand I'll return again" I put the money on the table which became a barrier between us.
"Wait, the credit is only 98 thousand, so why are you giving me 200 thousand, little brother?" she asked confused.
"That's for buying snacks, Sis. After all, I went inside and wanted to make my own choices. Here's my cellphone. This number is what you fill in, okay?" I said giving him my cell phone which I obviously had unlocked first.
"that's right, okay kid, please come in, Sis fill in the credit later" he said invitingly.
I went past the counter and started picking snacks. I was very lucky, next to his desk lined with cabinets containing various types of snacks, I was confused about which one to choose.
*** HARD POV END ***
"Why is uncle alone here? Where is Hardi?" Ibnu said surprised. They all got into the car.
"Buy pulse, there" Fierce uncle pointed at the counter across the street. The four teenagers inside nodded in understanding.
Ummu idly asked, "Uncle, did you really eat together with Hardi?"
"Hmmm" Fierce uncle mumbled.
Hearing that, the 2 girls seemed to be beaming with a little scream, "kyaaaa...so sweet..." Almost both of them melted on the chair. Ibnu shook his head, In his heart, that teenager hoped that his lover would not match his uncle with Hardi. Just imagining it made him shudder.
"I know you thoughts, we are the same" Yusman said with a shudder.
Suddenly the back door opened, "Yus, Nu, you're help me bring snacks from the counter there, Heavy!" Hardi poked his head out from behind the car door.
"Did you buy everything by the counters?" said Vera" Vera said.
"Come on, hurry up and help me, I'll snack on my own, I know how you feel!" Hardy threatens.
As a result, both of them followed Hardi to the counter.
"Is this what you mean by asking the two of us to help?" Ibnu pointed his index finger at 2 large red plastic pieces full of snacks and 2 dozen Coca colas and Sprites lying on the floor in front of the counter.
"That's right, now while you are here to help, just bring everything and share with Okta and Rahmat, I want to get out of the car bye bye..." Waving his hand, Hardi rushed back to the car before the two teenagers could protest.
Realizing that he had been fooled, Yusman suddenly exclaimed in annoyance, "You bastard!!" Unfortunately, the tanned teenager had already entered the car.
His gaze turned to Ibnu, then asked, "Now what, that child is indeed insolent!" he grumbled.
Ibnu shrugged, "What are you waiting for? Come on, help me bring it!"
"Ha ha ha ha!!" Okta, Rahmat, Ummu, Vera and not to forget Hardi laughed out loud seeing everything from the car window.
