CHASING THE LOVE OF THE TEACHER

Sweet Seventeen

Cilla stood in front of the bathroom mirror.  Cilla should be happy today because she was the main star of the day's event, but her face was even lethargic and lazy to meet the guests invited to the house tonight, those who came were Cilla's chosen ones.

 

It needs to be a negotiation and a long debate with papi Rudi about his birthday celebration. Cilla who lost her spirit because she knew Arjuna would not come lazy to throw a party.

But for the sake of happiness and keep papi from stress akhrnya Cilla according to some conditions.

 

There are no big parties in luxury hotels, no dresses and cinderella bath dress, no need to wear all EO.

At first, Papi Rudi balked at wanting to give happy memories for his only daughter into adulthood for a woman. And stubbornly also Cilla refused on the grounds of not liking to be the center of attention and was used to celebrating his birthday simply even without family.

 

Papi was speechless at Cilla's reasoning and dissolved again in memory of his bad attitude as a father all along. Seeing the reaction of Rudi's papi, Cilla regretted, feeling that he had hurt Papi Rudi's heart which should be kept calm and his mind.

 

And finally the two agreed, still holding a party but only simple. That afternoon all his classmates plus Jovan were invited to eat at the cafe without special events.

They can eat as much and there are only candle blow events and some games prepared by cafe owners. No other teachers or family were invited. Only Papi Rudi accompanied by Om Budi was present there.

 

“Cilla !”

 

The knock and call on the bathroom door blew his daydream. Cilla just finished her shower. As soon as the door opened, there was already Lili and Febi standing there.

 

“Elo again why anything medi ?” asked Lili with a pouting face. It turned out that they had knocked several times while calling Cilla but there was no response from within.

 

“Having napped inside,” says Cilla of origin.

 

His eyes frowned as there was one more stranger in his room. He immediately turned to his two best friends, asking with an eye about an unfamiliar figure.

 

“It's Mbak Pingkan who will help elo dandan this afternoon,” said Lili explained.

 

“Tap another ?” Cilla rolled her eyes lazily. Just now she had removed all the makeup that was stuck on her face, now it should be re-done.

 

“Yes, the time to be mediocre,” nagging Lili.

 

Cilla who only wore a bathrobe finally resigned and let the Pingkan Mbak adore him with a note should not be thick let alone menor.

 

30 Minutes later Cilla looked different. Stay like abege but more sweet and cute. Febi just sat on the bedside fiddling with her phone while Lili who was kepo immediately brought a broken white knee-length dress for Cilla.

 

“Why wear this one ? I want to wear a peach or blue,” reject Cilla while passing Lili who has lifted Cilla's dress.

 

A few days ago Cilla's two besties had time to take her shopping for some dresses for today's event. Cilla only chose two and arrived at the house apparently there was a shipment from aunt Siska who he said must be used for the evening event.

 

“Elo do not remember that Aunt Siska was willing to wear this dress ?” firmly Lili approached Cilla who was already standing in front of her closet door.

 

“Gue not so like. Why even birthday wear broken white, kayak want a wedding event aja,” scolding Cilla with a pouting face.

 

“Udah anyway, why ?” Febi, who heard the debate, approached and gestured for Cilla to obey Lili.

 

While grumbling annoyed finally Cilla according. Both besties helped her wear that knee-length dress. It is simple and beautiful but Cilla does not really like the color for the theme of the birthday party.

 

Pingkan's mother who was still waiting there helped Cilla tidy up her hair to adjust to the fashion of the shirt and give the finishing touch on Cilla's face.

 

“You're really cute, anyway. Kayak has not seventeen,” praise Mbak Pingkan when looking at the final results of Cilla makeup in the mirror.

 

“Short body effect, Mbak,” ledek Febi while chuckling.

 

Cilla immediately glared at her two friends who were laughing even doing tos together.

 

“Imut, not short,” bela Mbak Pingkan.

 

“Udah dong, the next birthday party like a new shirt out of the washing machine, scuffed and moist,” said Lili while holding both shoulders of Cilla who was still sitting in front of the dressing table.

 

“Bodo !” nagging Cilla while getting up.

 

Up under Mbak Pingkan immediately went home because there was work elsewhere while Cilla immediately sat on the back porch observing his two friends who were ensuring the party garden equipment this afternoon.

 

Om Rio and aunt Siska have come first, even aunt Siska looks busy in the kitchen preparing dishes for tonight.

 

Not many were invited, in addition to the family om Rio, Cilla invited the friends of Arjuna including Dono who doubles as his homeroom teacher. Jovan was invited this time along with his parents. And surely papi invited Mr. Slamet and Mr. Revelation. I don't know the others.

 

On papi's permission, Cilla also invited Amanda, papa Arman and mama Diva. No Arjuna's name is mentioned for fear of provoking papi emotions. There has been no sign that Papi Rudi will give a chance to Arjuna.

 

“Happy Birthday Cilla,” Amanda's voice came from behind her making Cilla regain consciousness from her daydream.

 

Cilla wakes up from the bench and approaches Amanda who turns out to be with Jovan.

 

“Finally seventeen too,” Amanda immediately hugged Cilla after congratulating her.

 

“Yes, finally got a KTP too,” Cilla said with a laugh after releasing her embrace.

 

“So the story is already officially sanctioned with parents ?” Cilla looked at Jovan while raising her eyebrows.

 

“Mami has moved on from elo,” replied Jovan origin.

 

“Well, why did you move on ? Not the elo who finally realized that not love with me but just obsession ?” ledek Cilla while chuckling.

 

“Diih girl geeran. Who's the same obsession elo,” Jovan throbbing.

 

“Sama ex can not be dong,” ledek Amanda join tease Jovan, dong,

 

“Honey, where there is status he is ex,” said Jovan while pointing towards Cilla. “Dating is not. I did shoot, but this sok kecakepan girl, nolak cool and popular guy like me this.”

 

“Duh gelinya,” Cilla immediately scrunched his face. “I am you, cool and popular guy, kayak not Jovan really !”

 

“List aja !” Jovan throws Amanda's hand and draws her closer to him.

 

“Diihh kayak fear captured aja,” cebik Cilla. His hand was directly stretched out to Jovan.

 

 

“Former fans haven't given me a birthday gift yet,” said Cilla with bulging eyes. “Where people come to the party do not bring gifts, let alone ngaku-ngaku former fans.”

 

“Yes for Cilla !” Jovan yells at Cilla's forehead making the girl glare even more while Amanda just laughs softly. “What's Amanda's loving need ? Dus empty ? I'm the same Amanda is already one heart, so yes love the card is just one both.”

 

“Lugi dong I,” grumbled Cilla while manyuning. “Kan come together, ration eat together, his period is only one. The only thing Amanda loves is not Elo. I invited you to the cafe this afternoon. There is no intention of loving mementos with idol.”

 

“Basic chick matere !” nagging Jovan while returning to brow Cilla.

 

“Jovan !!” cilla's nagging with a slightly loud voice made Lili and Febi who were in the park so look over. “Do not play toyor. Do not know if you need a struggle to make my face more cute like this.”

 

“It makes no difference,” sneaky Jovan while laughing. “Stay by chaebol.”

 

Cilla immediately swerved and her foot kicked Jovan's ankle that was not covered in shoes.

 

“Cilla hurts !” screech Jovan while grimacing. If you do not remember the girl in front of him has dressed up, it would be like Jovan memiting Cilla like his habits first.

 

“Yang, there is no intention to buy a prospective husband ?” whinek Jovan looked at Amanda who had just laughed at the discussion of Jovan and Cilla.

 

“You were also invited to the party twice, love the card once,” Amanda still laugh.

 

Cilla stuck out her tongue and left Jovan still grimacing in pain. Cilla walked towards the park towards Febi and Lili.

 

At six o'clock the invitations began to arrive. It turns out that Papi Rudi invited Budi and his family, as well as aunt Nila, secretary papi Rudi and his family.

 

Dono and Wiwik who are pregnant come with Boni and Mimi. Theo follows later along with Pius who comes alone. Erwin and Luki were followed by Pak Slamet and Pak Wahyu.

 

There are no special events just get-togethers and backyards. Everyone is familiar because it is not the first invitation to gather at an event like this. Only Aunt Nila and Om Budi were invited together for the first time like this.

 

“Bo-nyok where, Man ? Not coming?” whisik Cilla approached Amanda because she saw no signs of the arrival of her former future father-in-law when the time was seven nights.

 

“Perhaps in a moment,” says Amanda relax.

 

Cilla just nodded. If you can be honest, he hopes that Papa Arman will not only come with Mama Diva but also Arjuna. But it's all just if.

 

Not long Bik Mina asked Cilla to meet Papi Rudi in the living room. Cilla's heart immediately pounded incoherently.

Last week, in addition to discussing the birthday celebration, Papi Rudi also mentioned about the son of his business partner who wanted to get acquainted with Cilla. He said he had seen Cilla while accompanying Papi Rudi to come to an event.

 

Cilla's steps stopped at the end of the living room divider. It turns out his anxiety is wrong, which comes not a stranger to Cilla, but papa Arman and mama Diva. And that made Cilla fixated, Arjuna also sat there with a face full of smiles.

 

Cilla blinked hoping that this was not a dream or a hallucination.

 

“You till when you stand there ?” ask Papi Rudi to melt Cilla's ice.

 

“Eh Yes.” Cilla stuttered and walked up to Papi Rudi and sat down beside him.

 

Cilla looked at Papi Rudi with his eyebrows as if asking why Arjuna could be here with his parents ?

 

“Cilla,” call mom Diva.

 

Cilla turned her head and had a look with Arjuna but soon Cilla turned to mama Diva.

 

“I mean the arrival of Om and Auntie here want to re-apply Cilla to be his wife Arjuna. Is Cilla ready ?”

 

Cilla was stunned, not believing the words of Mama Diva. Cilla frowned again and looked at Papi Rudi full of question marks.

 

“You heard yourself saying Aunt Diva just now, right ?” papi Rudi said casually, there was no cold and angry look in Papi Rudi's eyes.

 

“Iya Cilla, Om and Aunt are here because they want to apply for you to be his future wife Arjuna,” stressed papa Arman.

 

Cilla still had not turned her head, still staring at Papi Rudi waiting for an explanation. Why suddenly papi Rudi seems to approve Cilla back with Arjuna even directly to the application event ?

 

“The answer is up to you. Papi has already agreed to Arjuna and Om Arman's request and the final decision is with you because you alone will go through it.”

 

“But instead of Papi and Om Arman.” Cilla turned her head to look at Papa Arman with a frown.

 

“The story is long, let Arjuna explain later. Now you just decide the application Om Arman and Aunt Diva,” said papi Rudi answered Cilla's confusion.

 

Cilla looked at Arjuna with a face that was still confused. I can't believe the reality he's facing right now.

 

“This all has nothing to do with Papi's disease problem, right ?” tanya Cilla looked back at Papi Rudi.

 

“Papi pain will not be cured immediately with your answer,” said papi Rudi while laughing slowly. “If you think that papi agrees because Papi's pain is getting worse then the answer is wrong. Papi has promised not to cover it up again with Cilla.”

 

Cilla breathed a sigh of relief. The experience of previous events made Cilla so worried and bad-minded.

 

Cilla looked at Papa Arman and mama Diva alternately, as if to be sure before making a decision. No more anger in the eyes of Papa Arman even his face looks more friendly and full of smiles. Likewise with Diva's mother who always smiled even though Cilla had hurt her.

 

“Where Cilla ?” ask papa Arman.

 

Cilla lowered her head and squeezed both fingers trying to think clearly even though all this made her still filled with question marks.

 

“Cilla,” call Arjuna slowly.

 

Cilla looked up, returning the gaze of Arjuna who was looking at her with a smile.

 

“I want.. Dimas.”

 

“Dimas ?” Arjuna frowned and followed Cilla's line of sight.

 

He saw the figure of the man he had met in Pujasera some time ago was standing in front of the door holding a bunch of flowers. Arjuna's jaws instantly hardened and both his hands were paved. Is it true that in a month Cilla's heart has moved on this figure named Dimas ?
