" morning of the doctor...."
Sayup sounded in my ear some female student greeting someone. I who just parked my matic motorbike looked to the right and left looking for the source of my keposan.
There was a man on a bicycle who had just passed me.
" that's the killer lecturer. Why call a doctor. Indeed he's a doctor what a lecturer anyway" I'm implying.
I continued my steps in haste because fifteen minutes I had a class and unfortunately it was the killer lecturer's class. I don't want to be humiliated like the other day.
My classroom was in plain sight and I realized it looked like my phone was left at home. Not sure either, I opened my bag trying to find a flat object that is the second mandatory item that I should always carry in addition to the wallet.
Searching and searching, ransacking the contents in the bag, still by walking but my focus on the phone. Until my body bounced back a little. I hit something.
When I looked up to find the killer lecturer standing in front of me. My mouth was gaping, so I just hit him and hit the chest of the lecturer.
The man looked at me fiercely.
" mm... Sorry I didn't accidentally." I felt scared and guilty.
Without a word he just passed me by. It made me a little misbehaving before I finally followed her into the classroom.
" ppsstt. Sttts......"
I wailed and found Nadia who gave the code for me to sit next to her.
" you earlier why could you run over to Dr. Allan. It's a good thing you weren't scolded like that."
" doctor Allan?" I cringed
" new lecturer... Tuh.." nadia pointed with her chin. He meant to show me if what he meant was a killer lecturer who was in front of the class.
" what doctor? Why do you call the doctor. "ask me curious because the second time I heard the doctor's call for the killer lecturer.
" jeez mila.lu ish severe indeed.. "
I don't really understand.
" what the hell."
" you really do not ngedengerin ya fit doctor Allan introduced himself yesterday" said Nadia Lirih.
I'm shaking. It's true that I didn't listen to his introduction yesterday.
" the pantesan elu is reprimanded... " Nadia throbbing.
" so Allan's doctor is actually just a substitute lecturer here. He will only teach us for one semester. The real profession he is a specialist in internal medicine.and incidentally again Allan's doctor just moved from the hospital in Singapore." I must have heard Nadia's explanation.
" ahem." Deheman's voice made me and Nadia straighten up.
Lecturer killer is staring at both of us.
" are you ready to receive the material I am going to deliver? " ask her.
" ready doctor Allan." replied Nadia and I could only look down not daring to look at the man with the flat face.
*******
I breathed a sigh of relief, finally finished his lecturer killer class.
" Nad.... " Nadia whom I called turned her head.
" you haven't finished the story about Doctor Allan."
" there's a kepo.... Cie... Cie..."
" yes, I'm kepo. You said he moved from Singapore. But how can you be fluent so in Indonesian even though it's a little slurred...."
" ish if that's what I understand...... Yes, but really, too.... Doctor Allan is that face-face chinnes.... But I am fluent in Indonesian. Oh or don't let him have Indonesian ancestry times. Uh you're going where Mil. "
Nadia asked as I stood up from my seat.
" canteen. "my answer is short. I still have to be on campus until the afternoon because today's lecture schedule is busy creeping up.
While waiting for a practicum that the schedule is just another hour may not hurt me to the cafeteria first, just drink ice to quench thirst while cooling the mind.
" wait, Mil...."
Nadia caught up with me who was already walking out of class.
--------
" Camila......!!!" stopped my move. Looking back and I was surprised to find Danu here.
" Danu." my great-granddaughter.
" Who?" Nadia who flanked my arm whispered asking me.
" my temen. Um. Nad you go to the canteen first. I'll catch up. I met my friend I didn't papa."
" mm... How come you can be here." asked me awkwardly because I really did not expect to find Danu in my campus.
Danu smiled." Why didn't my phone pick up. "ask later.
" uh you called me? Sorry my phone left at home. "
" oh pantesans. I called many times unappointed. Yes, I decided to find you here. Um.... Miles... Can we talk for a second. There's something I need to tell you."
" yeah we've talked there. "I pointed at the park not far from where I am today.
I sat on one of the campus park benches. Danu sat next to me.
" what do you want to talk to me about."
" Mile, I don't know what I'm confused about. Your marriage and uncle dirga really shock me. Things I never thought of before."
" Danu, whose name is life, death, soul mate, fortune is all there is to govern. Including my marriage to Dirga. I also never thought if I finally married your uncle. Maybe it was me and Dirga's om who were destined to mate."
" Stupid...ckck...lantas what about me ?. You know for yourself if I liked you long ago. And I always hoped I would marry you. Therefore I have tried to really study in London because I want to be a successful person to be proud of. I want to bring that success before you."
I kept quiet and didn't know what to say.
" Mile, give me a chance to prove to you that I'm serious. Give me time to finish my studies. Then I'll come home and propose to you."
" wait. Did you say.apply me ? Are you not wrong. Danu, I'm married. "
" i know. Uncle Dirga will end your marriage soon. "
I lowered my head, sighed and exhaled her roughly. I don't know what word Danu said just made me hurt. I am not sure whether the heartache of Om Dirga who would obviously dump me or even the heartache of Danu who has no heart is happy if om Dirga divorced me.
" Danu. Please listen to me. "
Danu. By suppressing the sense of emotion that has been at the tip of the horn, slowly I string the words agar danu able to digest it well.
" Please understand me . I always thought you were a friend. My best friend. From us to school until now even the feelings I have for you are nothing more than a friend and best friend. I can't give you more position. So ... If om dirga really divorce me, I still can not accept your love. Danu forgive me if my honesty disappoints you. I don't want to give you false hope. "
" can't you give me a chance, "ask Danu.
I'm shaking.
" Dan, you're a good man. And you deserve a woman far better than me ."
" but I just want you. Not the other one. "
" again I'm sorry. I really can't. "
" is it because you prefer to remain my Aunty until you don't want to give me the slightest taste of things.?"
I was silent neither evasive nor condone.
" all right if it's like that. I also cannot force you. But you should know that I still love you so much."
After saying that Danu stood up from her seat. I was still stuck in my place.
" i'll say goodbye first. Thank you for meeting me. "
I smiled, Danu turned around and walked away from me who was still sitting on the park bench.
I just stood up from my seat when Danu looked back, looking at me with a face that was difficult to describe.
" in two days I'm back in London. I hope you change your mind and give me a chance. "
Before he left me, he spoke again.
" I love you Aunty. "
After that Danu really left me.
I don't understand why it's so hard to understand Danu . I can't possibly love her because my love has been tethered to her uncle.
When I turned around to leave the park, how surprised I was. Mr. Lecturer Killer is standing not far from me. His gaze was on me.
" when did that person come here . Lest he eavesdrop on my conversation and Danu just now. "my inner self in heart.
I awkwardly walked closer to her because I wanted to go to the cafeteria to see Nadia. Mr. Lecturer killer is still looking at me with his flat gaze, I also do not want to take a headache because his one-on-one road to the canteen still have to pass through him.
" Sister Complex"." he said.
Doctor Allan turned around, walking ahead of me without even turning his head towards me.
I frowned. "sister complex "back I repeated his words just now.
Who does she mean sister complex.
Ah or maybe she listened to Danu who said I love you aunty earlier.
Ish.dasar kepo lecturer. Don't know anything brave just to say it. Who is sister complex. Obviously me and Danu are not blood related.
I grumbled to myself feeling very upset with the flat-faced killer lecturer named Doctor Allan.
