Hello, Lecturer Sir!

Chapters 10

The atmosphere of Cafe Baper tonight is filled with young people, considering today is Saturday night Sunday. Plus there are always acoustic concerts on that day, making Edgar's Cafe bustling.

Arsen went into the cafe, he already had an appointment with his friends to gather here. He stepped up the stairs at the end of the room, on top of which Edgar and Nathan were chatting. Slowly he approached both.

"Woy, how are you, Sen? This is a busy person, each invited to gather always can not," Nathan greeted as Arsen sat in front of him.

"Sorry, I haven't had time these past few days. What's more now is trying my soul mates," replied Arsen with a slightly upset look.

Edgar raised his eyebrows, "don't you have a girl? A few days ago I saw you come here with a girl. Two more girls."

Nathan said, "Two?! Crazy lo Sen, the older the braver."

Arsen glared at his two best friends, "lo you know, Ed?" he asked Ed with suspicious squeaking eyes. Because a few days ago his best friend was going to review the location to develop a Baper Cafe outside the city.

"From my officers, they're already familiar with you," Ed casually ignored the sour face of his best friend. "So who's your boyfriend? Why not be known to Aunt Karin just let you not in a mate."

Arsen exhaled a long breath. "They're not my girlfriends. Bianca is my student, while Amanda is a girl who is a soul mate" he explained.

Finally the story flowed a few days ago from Arsen's mouth. Starting from Amanda who came to him on campus, to recognize Bianca as a girlfriend in front of Amanda. Ed and Nathan, who heard his best friend's words, gawked.

After Arsen finished the story, Nathan spoke up. "Lagian lo anyway do not have a hand, Aunt Karin is obviously worried. Especially at the age of you who almost head three. Okay you don't want to get married yet, but at least you have a boyfriend."

Arsen silently refused to respond to the words of his best friend, he chose to sip a frappuccino in silence. It was free that he told Ed and Nathan the reason, they would definitely not understand.

"Sen," called Ed, the man sipped a cigarette in the hand. "Lo still hasn't moved on from Seina?"

Checkmate!

Looking at the silent Arsen, plus the man's heart-changing gaze, Ed and Nathan looked at each other. Arsen's silent attitude has answered everything, the man is still shackled by the past.

"Sen, I know—"

Nathan had not yet finished his words, Arsen interrupted immediately with a clear cold tone. "Lo doesn't understand, Nath."

Arsen smiled wryly, "you don't know how sick I was left by Seina." He could not forget his former lover, considering he had long been in love with Seina. Five years, enough to make quite meaningful memories and imprint in his heart.

Ed threw the cigarette butts in the ashtray, then stared at his best friend. He could feel the bitterness of Arsen's tone. "Gue is the same Nathan, nobody knows, but when? How long have you been shackled by the past?"

Arsen shook his head slowly, nor did he know until when he was like this. His feelings for Seina were still stored tightly in the heart. Although the more he keeps his feelings the more painful, but he can not or rather can not release or even let go of the feelings.

"Gue doesn't know," whispered Arsen slowly, his sharp eyes implying despair.

***

Karin tries to contact Arsen, but there is no answer. Many times he contacted his son, but nil, Arsen still did not receive his call. He gave up and put the rose gold phone on the table.

Actually Karin had agreed with Arsen to give the man time to find a lover before his birthday. But still he stubbornly introduced Arsen with his friend's child, he felt uneasy if the son did not immediately have a girlfriend.

Karin moved out of her chair, she stepped out of the room. His eyebrows fused to find the kitchen lights were still on, should his other employees have gone home. Slowly but surely he approached the kitchen, he bent his head inward.

Karin frowned to find Bianca sitting alone with a blank look, what happened to the woman? Actually he realized that lately Bianca looks lethargic, even so the performance of women is always good.

Since Bianca's arrival at Queen Bakery a few days ago changed the atmosphere of the bakery warmer than usual, the woman always spread a positive aura to her other employees. Bianca is very easy to love, its cherry nature is very contagious. Karin also saw that women were hardworking and not giving up easily, but lately there are different things.

"Bi," called Karin, he stepped in and approached Bianca. "You haven't come home yet?"

Bianca Kontan got up from her seat, "yet, Miss Karin."

"Come, come with me upstairs," asked Karin, "my friend to make a new recipe. You're not in a hurry, are you?"

Bianca shook her head quickly, she did not hurry. His college assignments were all done, but he did not want to return sooner to his index. Silence in the index made him rethink the problem of medical expenses Mama. "I'm not in a hurry, ma'am" replied Bianca, walking after Karin from behind.

The middle-aged woman brought her into one of the rooms upstairs, as soon as Bianca gawked on the spot. It turns out that the room next to Karin's room is a spacious kitchen but different from the kitchen on the lower floor, this kitchen is dominated by pastel colors and equipment here is more complete.

Both of them jockeying with cookware, Bianca helps Karin make new recipes once in a while suggesting her ideas. Bianca's smile expands, she feels the presence of her mother when cooking with Karin.

"Your idea is good, Bi. Finally I managed to make a new menu thanks to your help," said Karin, the middle-aged woman did not expect that Bianca could make cakes and was very creative. The woman was full of surprises, Karin was always surprised and impressed by Bianca's behavior.

Karin and Bianca sat together enjoying their second homemade cake, going quiet for quite a while. Until the middle-aged woman could not hide her curiosity.

"Bianca," call Karin.

Bianca who was enjoying the cake in front of him was staring at Karin, "yes, Mom."

Karin carefully asked, "I've seen you lately seem lethargic. Is there a problem?"

Bianca smiled faintly, "yes, there's a bit of a problem, ma'am."

Karin clasped Bianca's hand, then smiled warmly. "I'm here, you can tell me if you don't mind. Think of me as your mother."

Bianca's eyes were slightly teary, she could not hide her sadness. "Thank you, Miss Karin."

"Bianca misses Mom in the village, My mom is sick," continued Bianca, without telling her the medical expenses her mother needed.

Karin rubbed the top of Bianca's head, her gaze softened, "looking at you strong like this, I'm sure that your mother will recover. Because he's strong, just like you." That night Karin realized one thing, if the woman in front of her was so strong and always amazed her by it.
