Hearing Marsel's chatter made Aldy have an idea that crossed his mind. After the inter-class sports match, maybe Aldy will ask if Heri wants to go on vacation with him and Maureen.
It seems fun. Considering during Aldy's adoption, they had never gone on a family vacation trip. This time, with Maureen, it would be a lot of fun.
"Edwin asked us to go on vacation to his villa in Bandung. Zico will come with you. And if you come too, then I'll be the only one alone."
Aldy took out his motorbike key and walked towards the school parking area. "I still don't know if I'll go with them or not," replied Aldy. The answer depends on Heri later.
If Heri refuses Aldy's invitation for a family vacation, maybe Aldy will consider taking Maureen to Edwin's villa in Bandung during the holidays.
"But this year, are you going to take part in inter-class sports competitions? From what I heard, they will hold e-sport competitions such as PUBG Mobile. PC game competitions will also be held, such as PUBG, Point Blank, and Dota 2. I'm sure if you join PUBG and Point Blank competition, our class will win easily."
Aldy put on his helmet and sat on the motorbike. He turned the engine key to the right to start the engine until he heard the exhaust roar. Aldy opened his helmet and looked at Marsel. "If I enter the competition, I am afraid that all participants will stop playing the game for the rest of their lives."
Marsel could only smile wryly at Aldy's answer.
Although it sounds arrogant, Aldy's ability in the two war games, PUBG and Point Blank, can not be underestimated. Aldy has even received a request to join a well-known e-sport club such as RRQ.
Aldy's reason for rejecting it was simple.
He doesn't want to associate his hobby with any e-sports contract that could restrain him.
That was why, even though his attitude was quite arrogant regarding games, his ability was no joke. So, Marsel really can't deny it at all.

Aldy arrives home. After parking his motorbike in the garage, he walked inside.
As usual, Maureen would run down the stairs and hug Aldy every time she came home from school.
Maureen inhaled Aldy's scent while hugging her tightly. "Why do you smell like math exam questions?"
"Your nose is the problem. Where's dad?"
"Dad? In the living room, watching football. Why are you looking for him? You haven't even kissed me since you came home."
"There's something I want to talk to you about," said Aldy releasing Maureen's arms. Of course, he didn't forget to kiss Maureen's forehead. When finished, as usual, Maureen would hug Aldy's arm while walking into the house.
"You cheat! It's a clear foul! Was the referee blind?!" shouted Heri in the living room.
Aldy walked over to Heri and sat on one of the sofas there. Of course, Maureen also sat next to Aldy.
"Is this a bad time to bother you? I want to talk about something." Aldy said, making Heri turn around.
"Oh, you're home, son? How was the test? Did everything go well?"
"Sure, no problem at all," Aldy replied with a smile.
Heri also smiled after seeing the expression shown by Aldy. Of course, Heri knows that Aldy is a smart student. However, his intelligence vibe is covered by his habit of fighting with other school gangs.
"So, what do you want to talk about?"
Aldy put his bag next to where he was sitting. "Do you want to go on vacation?"
"On vacation? Are you kicking me out?" asked Heri back.
"No. I mean, we all went on a family vacation. You know, while I was adopted, we've never had a vacation. While Maureen hasn't started school yet, how about the three of us go on vacation?"
Maureen, who heard it, immediately looked at Heri with a look full of hope. "Great idea!" said Maureen enthusiastically.
Maureen let go of Aldy's arms and stood up, ran to Heri and sat next to him then hugged Heri's arms. "Sounds like fun, doesn't it?"
"But, I don't know how to say it..." Heri said, then looked at Aldy with a serious look. There, Aldy could see the regretful look on Heri's face. "I've been very busy lately. And there's work I can't leave."
As expected, hearing Heri's answer, Maureen looked sad and disappointed.
But Heri still tried to smile at Maureen. "How about this time you two go on vacation alone? Just think about where you want to go on vacation. After that, tell me the decision at dinner tonight."
Maureen was silent for a moment. It's Heri who looks the most nervous here. But after a while, Maureen smiled and nodded. "If that's the case, then fine."
Heri stroked Maureen's head gently. "Thank you for your understanding, my dear."
"Alright. If that's the case, then I'll just ask for your permission."
Heri turned to Aldy. "My permission?"
"I would like to take Maureen to go on vacation with my friends in a villa in Bandung. The villa belongs to Edwin, the person who helped me redecorate Maureen's room."
"Villa?" asked Harry.
On the one hand, Heri is worried about Maureen's character, which seems to still not be able to take care of herself. He was afraid that Maureen would only trouble Aldy there.
But on the other hand, he knows that he can trust Maureen to Aldy completely because Aldy has proven to him that he can be trusted.
Heri turned his gaze to Maureen. "Do you want to go?"
Maureen set her sights on Aldy and was silent for a moment. She didn't know who Edwin was.
Heri looked back at Aldy, "Who will be joining you guys? Marsel?"
"Marsel couldn't come because of family matters. Besides me and Edwin, there was another one, Zico. The person who took me to the hospital at that time, remember?"
Heri nodded in understanding Aldy's answer. It looks like Edwin and Zico are good people. And because Aldy said it, Heri was able to reduce his worries.
Heri feels proud of Aldy. Because from the conversation this time, Aldy looks like someone reliable in terms of negotiations. It seems that, in the future, Aldy can become the successor to his construction company.
Heri looked back at Maureen. "What do you think? If you really want to, then I'll give you my permission."
Maureen nodded in agreement with Aldy's offer.
Aldy smiled because of the result.
It looks like the school holiday this time will be fun.
