Chương 31: Socializing

After that, another lecturer came in and immediately the whole class became quieter.

Until finally the lesson was over, the class that was originally quiet then became lively again when the lecturer had left the class.

Moreover, they then realized that there was no lecture schedule that they needed to attend today, they became happier.

On the other hand, Wijaya then asked his classmates to form a group where they could communicate with each other.

And for the class administrators, he also formed a separate group, where they would exchange information and assignments related to their lectures and classes.

After that, Wijaya also reminded his friends again not to forget to join the activities outside the classroom that had been ordered by their supervisor.

"Okay everyone, I think that's all I can say, please be careful when you go home later and don't be late to come to class tomorrow, the rest if there is something you want to ask, please contact us, the class administrators in the group. Then see you tomorrow." Wijaya then said goodbye to all of them.

While on the other hand he invited Rudi, Irina and also Lily to have lunch together, he did this to strengthen their friendship and also make them closer to each other.

"Let's find a place to eat, to eat together, this time let me treat you to lunch" Wijaya proposed the lunch that had been agreed upon with them before.

"Okay then I agree" replied Rudi.

"We don't mind either" replied Irina and Lily in unison.

"Then what do you want to eat?" Asked Wijaya.

"Leave this choice to them ladies" Rudi said to let Irina and Lily decide on it.

"How about we eat satay?" suggested Irina then.

"Satay is okay," replied Lily, agreeing.

"I don't mind either," Rudi answered casually.

"Then it's decided let's eat satay for lunch" replied Wijaya then while inviting them to eat at a place that sells satay.

As an illustration, Wijaya University has 3 main canteens located right on the left, right, and back of their campus area.

And these three areas have various types of food for students on their campus.

By category, the right canteen provides various types of food for breakfast and afternoon meals.

Followed by the left canteen which provides lunch until dinner, and finally the back campus canteen.

Provides food at night until 10 pm, which is provided for students, lecturers and campus staff who still have to work until night.

Inviting the three of them to the right campus, Wijaya did not forget to introduce the area to them.

"On this right campus, the famous food is chicken porridge, satay, ketoprak, meatballs, chicken noodles, warteg and also various juices and drinks.

In addition to the delicious taste, the price is also relatively cheap, maybe because it is subsidized by the campus, making the price more affordable for students."

Not long after they arrived at the right canteen, they were immediately greeted by a lively atmosphere from many students who were having lunch there.

The food stalls on duty also looked quite crowded.

After choosing a seat, Wijaya asked them again, "Here we have chicken and goat satay with peanut sauce and sweet soy sauce.

What do you want to order?" Wijaya asked again.

"I'll just have chicken satay," Irina said.

"I'll just have chicken satay," Lily agreed.

"I'm the same as them," Rudi replied.

"Okay then, I'll order you chicken satay, next you are going to eat satay with rice or lontong (food made from steamed rice until it becomes solid, usually wrapped in transparent plastic or banana leaves, as a substitute for rice in a different form).

"About drinks, let me treat Wijaya" Rudi who saw Wijaya busy felt uncomfortable, so then he said taking the initiative

"Okay I agree, then just one iced tea for me" Wijaya agreed to Rudi's suggestion

"I'll just have iced orange juice," Irina replied.

"I have mango juice," Lily also ordered.

"Okay then I will take care of the drinks, as for the accompaniments to the satay I choose rice only" Rudi answered Wijaya's question about the accompaniments to his satay.

As for Irina and Lily they chose lontong.

So then Wijaya and Rudi were busy ordering food and drinks for them, while Irina and Lily were in charge of guarding their seats.

At the satay seller's stand, Wijaya ordered 4 portions of satay with peanut sauce and 3 portions of lontong and satay and portion of rice as an additional.

Not long after, the waiter who was guarding the booth finished counting "all of it becomes 31 dollars" and mentioned the price to Wijaya.

Hearing this, Wijaya was surprised again, what a cheap price, he said in his heart.

Paying and getting a receipt, he then saw why the price could be cheap. It turned out that one portion of chicken satay was priced at 5 dollars with one portion of rice being 2 dollars and one portion of lontong 3 dollars, and Wijaya's total order was 31 dollars.

Thinking back to the price in the future, Wijaya only smiled wryly because with the same price now, in the future 31 dollars could only get one portion of chicken satay without additional lontong or rice.

(It's really good to be able to go back to the past, and enjoy various types of cheap food like this again) Feeling very grateful for what he felt right now.

Returning to his seat, Wijaya then continued their conversation that was delayed in the previous class.

As for food, they will be delivered by the canteen staff, according to the table number given to them, so at the campus canteen food stall, they only need to order food and pay.

"How far along are you guys in your conversation?" Asked Wijaya who saw the three of them chatting.

"We're chatting about where our house is located," replied Irina answering Wijaya's question.

"Oh, about the location of the house, then where do you all live?" Asked Wijaya again (it has become commonplace for friends in the Patih kingdom to ask each other for their friends' home addresses, and this is based on an attitude of openness without any coercion).

"As you know, the three of us are from Nusa City, as for the specific location, I am in the Antasari area, as for Irina, she is near Taman Sari and so is Lily, because they are in the same complex," answered Rudi on their behalf.

"Oh... your house is also close to campus, I am in Detos City, more precisely in the Juanda area," replied Wijaya, also telling them where his house was located.
