I Love You, My Student

152

A suit was attached to the sofa in the room. The clockwork clink from his office room accompanied the seriousness of a man from work that seemed endless.

If the job is done, he will find another job to occupy himself from everything that is not even very important to do. Most importantly, his brain should not be emptied.

Even his office room bears witness to how crazy the man works and always keeps himself busy as much as possible from his mind which continues to be haunted by his guilt to someone.

For the past 3 years, he has never returned to his home or apartment, he lives in his office more often after the events of a few years ago - where the shadow of a woman with her son always haunts him and the guilt continues to corner him.

It took two years longer than before the man was able to resume his normal activities, yes at least he wants to look okay by others despite the fact that his life is very ruined until now when a question he keeps asking himself.

How are they doing?

Do they live properly?

Are they not cold?

Do they eat nutritious food?

And, do they miss him as much as he does?

Although every day he was always preoccupied with various important documents, but his mind and heart continued to revolve around thinking where he could find his life again.

Cherry

This woman had been missing all along. There was no trace of anything he could find of his existence, as if God had hidden him from him and only he was not allowed to see him.

Diana. His mother was the same, the woman turned silent after the incident where he rampaged in front of the contract that Cherry had lived in. Same with Rahardian.

Exhaling her breath slowly, Arjuna loosened her neck tie that felt tight strangling her neck. He glanced at the watch which showed that he had been working at 1am, then smiled slightly as his eyes looked at the small frame that was neatly displayed on his desk.

His hand stuck out to take the frame. Pigura with a photo where the woman he loves most is smiling beautifully with his son - which he got from the Rose first.

Arjuna stroked the frame gently, his heart throbbing again with pain as his vision turned nanar.

"I miss you guys. Go back-"

In the only room that still lights up, Arjuna cries.

After Cherry's departure, Arjuna changes like an undead.

True Bayu said, Arjuna became very minimal to talk, never wanted to be invited to gather with his friends even when Darendra offered a villa that had always been his target, he was not interested.

And said "What if the woman I was hoping to spend the holidays with was gone." And always Cherry is the reason.

The rose did not work with him. The woman chose to stay at home to be a housewife after someone married her.

Arjuna laughed, recalling how the woman who almost became his wife had been proposed to by someone in front of him - in a weakened state because she had just regained consciousness from her coma that day, Arjuna watched as Rose said yes and accepted the proposal of the man who became his best friend.

He didn't know why they were doing it. Is it because they love each other or are tired of each other? Clearly, Arjuna was happy to see it.

And from that incident Arjuna can conclude that he really does not love the Rose at all, he only feels to see Cherry in the Rose alone - not because Arjuna loves him, not because.

Arjuna always busy himself to work. Any kind of work he would do even what he thought was unimportant. Like ; Clean up his desk, but always in a very neat state.

Arjuna also experienced severe depression after the departure of Cherry for the second time. He was also treated for several months for a decline in health due to always refusing food, drinking heavily until he attempted suicide two years ago with a cut on his wrist that put him in a coma for several days.

"Cherry, if you continue to hate me like this" Arjuna rubbed the picture frame, "I'd rather die than live tormented by my guilt. If you want to go, at least forgive me"

Tears began to wet his cheeks that look more slender, Arjuna cried in the silence of the night without anyone strengthening him. Feelings of regret, pain and despair as if vying to blame him.

Slowly, Arjuna grabbed the scissors on his desk trembling. Should Arjuna repeat his actions a few years ago, now? Indeed, Arjuna could no longer bear to breathe. Her guilt towards Cherry seemed to want to kill her life, mentally.

So there's no point in Arjuna staying alive if his purpose in life just hates him.

"I love you guys"

🌻

"Boss, someone wants to see you"

Arjuna looked up, looking at Dion who was standing in front of his desk, he nodded and ordered his secretary to let his guests in.

When the door opened, Arjuna was startled by the sound of screaming at three handsome boys, one of whom was one year younger. The three ran, stretching out their hands asking to be hugged by him.

"Uncle Arjuna!" Called the three boys. Arjuna chuckled softly before finally standing up and crouching before them to receive the affectionate embrace of his cute nieces. "We miss, uncle" he said in a voice that sounded a little slurred.

Arjuna smiled, hugging the three handsome boys at the same time after a year of not meeting him.

"Uncle misses you too. How are you, Kenzo - Kenzie and Dikta? Uncle heard you guys went to school?"

The three nodded enthusiastically and chatted about how they went to school together in the same class, before Arjuna finally told the three to play because he also felt homesick with his two best friends who had sat down.

"You play first, Uncle want to chat important things with both of your Daddy"

After the three boys went outside, Arjuna approached the two friends and sat down before them. There is nothing different from the two men who already have each child, the difference is they look more handsome. Haha, Arjuna admit it.

"How are you?" Arjuna asked his two best friends.

One of the men was clucking lazily, glancing back and forth at Arjuna who was getting more and more annoying that day.

"No need for pleasantries, we do video calls every day Arjuna!" Sahut the man who is the father of the boy named Dikta.

Arjuna who heard the speech chuckled softly, thrusting the canned drink he took in the refrigerator next to the sofa he occupied which was immediately accepted by them.

"Don't tease her Arjuna. You don't know, Darendra is being punished by his wife for missing his beloved Tupperware cap!"

"Hey shut up, Bayu!"

Arjuna laughed at her, always comforted by Darendra's slightly silly household.

Arjuna still remembers when the woman recounted how Darendra asked her to marry three years ago which is far from the word romantic, and unfortunately, Arjuna who became a witness to the unromanticization of his best friend.

"Hey shit, don't worry us!" Tegur Darendra panicked, the man slightly tightened his seat next to Bayu because he felt a little horrified - more precisely Darendra trauma had been the target of Arjuna's tantrums first.

Seeing the panicked faces of his companions, Arjuna stopped his laughter.

"I'm just remembering how you proposed to your wife first. She wants to marry a man like you!"

"Hey at least I tried!" Reply Darendra ketus. Not only do they know that Darendra can also be romantic, it's just that he is too lazy to prepare it and prefers simple. Fortunately his wife never bothered him, ugh, the woman was indeed very relaxed. So relaxed he never stopped nagging if one of his favorite items was disturbed by it.

Ck! Basic, Tupperware enthusiast!

Arjuna does not reply, there will be no end if you want to mock Darendra. He turned to look at Bayu, his best friend who was waiting for the birth of his daughter a few months more.

"How is Grizelle, have you shown any signs of giving birth?"

Yep, Grizelle is pregnant with her third child who has been confirmed as female.

Bayu shook his head slowly, "Not yet, he is still a henchman with his knitting hobby. Oh yes, he left this cooking for you" Bayu handed the paper bag he brought earlier in front of Arjuna. The man smiled, "Regular, cravings he said" He continued.

Arjuna smiled, opened the paper bag and saw a box of fried rice there. His eyebrows wrinkled, before finally tasting the cuisine of his best friend's wife.

Wh why?

Why tastes

"Spend yes, he's been hard-earned to make"

Arjuna nodded, although there was one question he wanted to ask, but the good taste of the fried rice made him forget.

"OKAY. Thanks yes"

🌻

"Darling, what time is it why haven't you woken up yet?"

The woman who was making breakfast shouted loudly, calling out to her universe which was almost 7 o'clock yet to come out of the room as well. "Arjuna" Call him again and again until the owner of the name chuckles amusedly inside there.

He knew that his name was already called complete, meaning that the woman was really on the verge of his patience.

"You hear me, he's so chatty! Let's get out faster, you don't want to hear your mom take out her seven-octave squeak again?" He said to his favorite white anabul named Lion.

But before he came out of the room, Juna stopped his steps. The four-year-old boy turned to the closet to get something there.

"Lion for a minute, I'll go look for my socks first"

Meow~

Juna smiled, then opened the closet with the picture of the American captain wide to look for the existence of his socks.

But after a minute of searching, he did not find it.

"Mother" Shouted Juna from inside his room. His tiny hands continued to tear apart his entire closet. "Juna's legs are not there. Where's the mother keeping it?" Reciprocity.

Down there the person called the mother clucked softly, shaking her head while turning off the stove and opening the apron and keeping it on the chair. While stepping into the room the son of Cherry said, "Mother has kept it in the drawer, time does not exist? Find the right one, my God Arjuna! You're looking for socks or a rat kid, huh? Geez Jun, just last night you tidied it up"

The owner of the name was shocked, hearing the death squeak from the round was thrown. If someone else had heard it, they might have run away, he thought.

"Sorry mother" He said slowly.

Exhaling slowly, Cherry tried patiently not to nag her handsome son. The woman smiled, "Mother has said it, if you look for socks in the drawer, as well as a tie. Look, they're here"

Juna gave a stiff grin, taking the socks.

"Serius mother was Juna had been looking for her there but there was none. But why when you look for it, suddenly there is? Isn't that weird"

Cherry chuckled softly, gently stroking her son's curls gently. Juna is very similar to his father, almost every day a storm just to find his tie.

Clucking slowly, Cherry who was cooking breakfast was forced to turn off the stove. He stomped his feet back while approaching Arjuna who was busy looking for his socks. Even though Cherry had stored it in the closet drawer, why did the man never find it if not Cherry who sought it.

Ck!

"Jeez Arjuna! You know, there will be an important meeting but instead invite me to stay overnight! Now look, we're having bad luck! Where is the shooting location far enough away again!"

Cherry opened the closet, snorting annoyed at the messy state of its contents. Very eager Cherry nagged the man but the timing was not possible because she also had to rush to the company for work. While Arjuna, the man looked down with funny pursed lips - like a child who was being scolded by his mother.

"Well, I want to see that movie, Cher, go to a fucking cinema!"

Choosing not to care about the ramblings of the man who continued to follow him, Cherry growled with annoyance when what was the source of the commotion he found easily.

"What's this, Arjuna?"

Cherry shows off the socks that Arjuna desperately seeks but finds them easily. The man just gave a stiff grin, took the socks and immediately ran out of the room for fear of being hit by the woman's tantrum.

Instead of thanking, Arjuna instead shouted from the living room, "I love you dear" With an end to the annoying ruckus of the lips of the man who has been living with him for five years. Cherry, who initially wanted to torture the man, suddenly heard the sentence.

"I love you to

"Mother" Cherry flinched in shock as her hand was grasped by a smaller hand. "Mother is angry? Forgive Juna, mother"

Cherry shook her head slowly, smiling gently at her son who was exactly the same as her father. It was a true incident that remembered him to the man he loved so much.

"Don't love, you can't be mad at you. Let's have breakfast, before ne-"

Tiin~

Juna smiled, immediately ran out of the room when he heard the sound of a horn ringing in front of his house. Juna was sure it was-
