I Love You, My Student

155

Getting off the taxi, Cherry walked into a cafe she frequented when making an appointment with someone she would meet today. Fortunately, the distance is not too far and the road is not jammed as usual, just ten minutes he can arrive and set his feet there safely. Yeah, even if it's a little late.

After a guard opened the door, someone's cry made him smile with a wave of his hand. Next to his hand he used to carry a peach-colored paper bag, containing several cupcakes ordered by the girl who called him.

"Sister, here!"

A brown haired girl sitting on the very corner bench adjacent to the side garden shouted, making her approach immediately.

"You're late!"

The girl sulked, crossing her hands in front of her chest. His lips pursed funny but not long after that changed with a smile that was so sweet after Cherry gave the paper bag she was carrying earlier.

"Crazy! It smells so good, brother. If my husband knows, it could be dangerous to know!"

Cherry shook her head slowly, pinching the increasingly round cheeks. He knew the meaning of the girl who was pregnant for seven months.

"Later make it again, pregnant women do not be stingy"

The girl clucked violently while rubbing her pinched cheek earlier. Not that she was stingy, but if anything to do with the fruit, suddenly her husband would be very annoying.

"If it must be! Make me more"

Cherry nodded.

"All right"

"But I'm still upset, why Brother for so long. I waited for half an hour!"

Again, the squashy pinch from Cherry got, making the girl complain loudly. Upset, why are people pinching their cheeks lately?! Is it true that his two sons said last time that his cheeks were as big as Bakpao?

"Who told you to come early, Miss Grizelle Bagaskara. Brother has an order. So a little forget, hehe" Cherry replied.

Turning his eyeballs lazy, he had expected it from the start. Always so, if you have held the cake dough or are in the kitchen, the woman will forget everything.

"It's so annoying!"

The hiss was slow but could still be heard by Cherry. The woman smiled before asking permission to pick up the phone from someone. A few minutes passed, Cherry sat back and said she could not linger because her son was on the way home and they finally decided to go home.

After saying, "Be careful on the road" to Grizelle, Cherry entered the taxi she had previously booked.

Not long after, his phone rings again and Cherry is convinced it's his son. And sure enough his guess, his son was already at home and told him to get there quickly.

"So soon you'll be here, you want to order something?" Cherry asked, slightly furrowing her brows when she heard a slight whisper. Who was Juna with, he thought?

"No mother, hurry home"

Cherry smiled, nodding her head despite knowing that her son would not see her.

"Yes patient handsome boy, the streets are a little jammed. Yeah, mommy hung up first, huh? Bye darling"

Exhaling his breath slowly, Cherry pensively stared at the streets. His mind wandered somewhere while his heart was pounding. There was a strange feeling that since morning he felt, but Cherry tried to keep ignoring.

What to worry about, indeed? Juna with his grandmother and grandfather, should not all that disturb his heart and also his mind, right? His son must be okay.

"But why does it feel so strange. What's the matter?"

🌻

Still kneeling with a longing gaze behind the black bead, the clear liquid continued to drip without him being able to stop. His chest felt tight, so painful even if only for him to breathe.

His eyes reflexively closed, as he felt the tiny finger rub his cheek slowly. The touch he once felt when he did not know the truth, first.

"Mother's right. Besides being spoiled, you're also very whiny!" This is how we cry!" The handsome boy sneered with a glittering honey-colored bead, his lips pursed cutely.

Arjuna chuckled softly, clasped the little boy's hand and kissed him several times. Besides being good at talking, this child is very smart to mock himself, just like his mother.

"Otherwise that woman said, huh?!"

The boy looked down, choosing to play the buttons of the man's shirt rather than look him in the eye.

"It sucks!" Tweet slowly.

Arjuna chuckled softly. As he guessed, surely the woman would never be left mentioning herself as annoying, and now her son is saying the same thing.

"Then?"

"A little crazy"

"WHAT?!"

Juna smiled, revealing a row of his small teeth made Arjuna pinch his cheeks.

"And also you love so much, we"

Hearing the boy's statement, Arjuna pulled the tiny body over to him. Spank the child's head with a kiss of longing.

"Yes, he's right. I love you guys so much" Arjuna whispered half a whisper.

"Don't go again" Juna replied.

"No, I'm not leaving anymore, baby"

Actually, there are many things that Arjuna wants to ask his son and parents at this time. It was too shocking and confusing for him. How could his son roam the company of his father alone.

Is the woman he loves so much here? What and where is he now? Why let Juna wander alone?

Actually what facts has Arjuna missed during his treatment abroad? Truly, this was all still a dream for him, being able to meet and hug his son like this. His destiny does look funny, when he desperately searches for the existence of children and also the woman he loved so long ago, now even they seem to surrender themselves to be found.

"I know everything in your head, but can you buy me some milk first? I'm thirsty" Grandpa Juna hesitated. His round bead looked at Arjuna doubtfully.

"You're very good at talking, handsome boy. Comeing! We'll buy milk for you first"

Juna nodded enthusiastically, his eyes immediately sparkling, his tiny hands he circled around the sturdy neck of the man who was carrying him. He took her into the cafeteria and bought her some boxes of fresh milk and snacks before Arjuna took her as a request for explanation to his parents.

After being in the cafeteria, Arjuna immediately let Juna down and let the handsome boy run up to the waiter and ask for milk to the guard service.

"According to his will" Arjuna told the servant. He chose to sit on one of the benches, noticing how his son had humbly asked for this and that.

Looking around, his son as usual asked this and that to the servant that even Arjuna himself did not know him. The two are so very familiar, seen from the way Juna called him Uncle.

"Uncle Jo, Juna is thirsty. Can I have milk as usual? And also the pie that's got the fruits?"

The man called uncle Jo was bent over, rubbing the curls of the handsome boy grandson of the owner of the company was anxious.

"Ready to do young master. Anything else?"

The waiter named Jonathan asked, friendly.

"That's it, uncle. I'll pay for it, Grandpa's still in a meeting"

The man chuckled softly before finally nodding. Glanced at the glance of the son of the owner of this company who was sitting paying attention. Ah he forgot if Mr. Rahardian's son had returned and recovered. And it seems like that Tan-skinned man already knows everything. Mercifully.

"Wait a minute, you can sit down. Uncle will take her there"

After ordering and thanking the waiter, Juna walked over to his father. The man raised Juna's tiny body and let her sit comfortably in his lap. While listening to her son chattering, Arjuna began to ask a little how he could wander around alone here.

With the spirit of the tiny lips began to tell how he who was bored waiting for the grandfather who was meeting, then he took the initiative to come out without saying goodbye.

"Other times don't wander around by yourself huh, dad doesn't want you to do anything" he said in a tone that sounded so worried.

What if there are criminals? What if someone kidnaps her? Yes even though this company is so strict about its guard, it is still a danger.

"But grandfather was very old, Juna was thirsty"

Grandpa?

"You mean Rahardian's grandfather?" Arjuna asked doubtfully but got a reassuring nod from his son.

"Yes. Grandma's out, don't know where to go"

Oh my god, Arjuna has really missed so much. Was he sick and undergoing treatment so that only he did not know?

"Dad wants to ask you, can you?"

The petite head nodded, looking at the jet netra belonging to the man who was looking at him.

"How did you and your mom get back?"

"Grandpa and grandma picked us up"

Pick up?

"Since when?"

Juna raised his index finger, touching his chin in a thinking pose. Actually Juna also did not remember too much about the incident, but his little head captured the memory that at that time he was able to walk.

"For a long time, my father was still being treated for illness. Just then dad was tied up and kept shouting, Juna was scared and mom kept crying" Juna replied softly. In his swab a drop of clear liquid that was speeding up from the corner of his son's eyes gently. Juna again said, "Dad don't get sick again, Juna and mother are sad to see him" and hugged Arjuna and drowned her face in his arms.

For a moment Arjuna was stunned to hear the sentence that was thrown from the tiny lips, his head lowered to look at his crying son.

"I'm sorry dad"

Seeing that the father and son couple were hugging, the few servants who saw him were moved. Not even the female servant could resist her cries.

"Finally, they met"

"Please get me a tissue, my tears just keep flowing like a leaking faucet"

"May it all end happily"

After all the suffering that Arjuna endured as well as the child and woman named Cherry, they all prayed that they could meet and end up happy.

It is no secret about the news a few years ago stating that Arjuna Alaric Rahardian suffered from psychiatric disorders due to abandonment of his lover and child, even several times trying to commit suicide by taking drugs exceeding the dose. They know because the news is spread so widely, even to the tv, magazines and also some newspapers.

The effect of this news is huge. Rahardian company suffered a lot of decline, the officials suddenly pulled the stock and made it collapse and almost bankrupt. They blatantly blame Rahardian for the incident because they know how the hard character of the owner of the company.

And starting from there Rahardian and Diana were intensively looking for the existence of Cherry. He asked for help from anyone, printed Cherry Poto, on paste anywhere and promised a large sum of money to anyone who found it.

He also asked for help from friends of Arjuna who are famous for being very intelligent, especially to Bayu Aji Bagaskara. But it is not that easy, of course, to ask for help from the man who owns the largest company in Asia.

"What should make Arjuna crazy first if you realize the mistake om? Yesterday, anywhere in the world when Arjuna clearly looks destroyed?!" Bayu's sentence makes Rahardian slapped. The middle-aged man lowered his head, regretting all his mistakes. "Om too selfish!"

Bayu laughed sarcastically, fed up with the selfish nature of the much older man before him. Grizelle rubbed her husband's hand, calming him down so as not to be impudent to them. They are older than him.

"Even if they're found, do you think they'll come back after what you've done?"

Especially with his threats first, the threat that makes the woman continue to be haunted by fear if they will hurt her son.

"Your last meeting alone she was scared to death, especially now that she found out that you already knew she was keeping her son! Do you think someone's trauma is easily cured?! No, om"

Rahardian lowered his head, and all Bayu's words were true. But if God gives him one chance to be better, Rahardian is eager to change and most of all unselfish.

"Even though he won't forgive om, om will still ask forgiveness from him"

Seeing the earnestness of Rahardian who was so regretful of his actions first, Bayu finally nodded and agreed to help them find the whereabouts of the woman. More precisely Bayu did this only for the sake of his best friend, Arjuna.

And from then on they began to search, telling their confidants to track and search directly throughout the city and even remote places.

And after several weeks of struggling to find the whereabouts of Cherry, they finally found the woman in the depths of a village in the city of Bogor. Diana and Rahardian went straight there to pick him up.

Cherry was initially frightened, afraid that they might try to harm her son. But after Diana and Rahardian apologize until they get together, Cherry believes they will not hurt her.

"Dear Cherry, come home with us?"

Cherry shook her head, holding Juna tighter. Even though he already believed they had changed, deep down from Cherry's heart, he still felt doubtful as well as afraid.

"Why? We won't hurt you or Juna. Trust me, we regret it. Give us a chance to make amends for our mistakes, Cherry."

The woman smiled bitterly, her tears kept dripping seeing how the child of her best friend was suffering because of her.

"I'm sorry Katrina, I broke my promise" Inner Diana cried out.

"I'm comfortable here, Auntie" replied Cherry slowly.

"But Arjuna"

"Don't mention her name!"

Somehow Cherry felt hurt just hearing her name. He feels betrayed when he desperately struggles and maintains his love, but the man easily forgets everything about him.

"Cherry, Arjuna"

"No om! until whenever I'll never come back. I've forgiven you all and please get out of here! Let me and my son live in peace!"

Cherry rose from her seat, and her tears fell as she recalled how the man she loved so much called out to another woman with affection.

"Please let me and Auntie go now!"

"Sir-s"

"GO!"

"Cherry, Arjuna's sick. He was depressed and tried to commit suicide"

DEG!

Successfully bringing Cherry back, Rahardian immediately held an important press conference in his office. He explained that this incident was due to his selfishness, but he was very very sorry. Not to forget, they introduced Cherry as their daughter-in-law and Juna as the main heir to the Rahardian group.

Instead of getting a sneer or anything, those who know it are so hurt to see the CEO of a company famous for its generosity become like that. Who wouldn't be destroyed if they lost someone they loved so much? They will be equally destroyed.

"Hey stop gossiping and deliver the young master's order!" Said the servant named Jo to the three servants who were paying attention to the familiarity of the father and son.

"Oh you, aren't you happy to see them?"

"Who is unhappy, I am the happiest of course! Quickly deliver now, little young master is already thirsty"

"Yes-yes!"

🌻

"Happy?"

Arjuna gave an anxious laugh seeing so many stains on the corner of the tiny lips. Patently the man rubbed, cleaning the remaining cream that hit his chin and cheek.

"Already"

Arjuna nodded, lifting the tiny body in his carry to carry it up. But before she takes him away, Juna asks for vanilla ice cream with chocolate topping.

"There again?"

In Arjuna's sling the handsome brown curly-haired boy shook his head funny, his focus was on the ice cream he was holding, eating it solemnly without being bothered by the gazes of the servants greeting him.

"We'll see if Daddy's going to have a heart attack seeing his beloved grandson with me. How insolent he had been hiding such a big secret all along! It's worth it as long as I get back they're never home, it turns out. Look out for you old man!" Inner irritated.

When the elevator door opened, Rahadian happened to be in front of him with her panicked face, and turned into a statue. Arjuna smiled slantingly, holding Juna, the man said, "You owe me a lot of explanation, dad! prepare an explanation for tonight, I have to meet the mother of this boy first" calmly. Rahardian had been tense since then.

Juna himself seemed indifferent, his attention could not be distracted from the ice cream that was in his grasp. The brown-eyed boy only glanced at the grandfather and said, "Grandfather, Juna go home first huh? Bye grandfather" before Arjuna finally closed the elevator door again.

Rahardian nibbled his temple dizzy, how is this? Cherry will definitely be angry because Arjuna knows earlier than the time he specified.

"Shall I call Cherry?"

Flat-shaped objects are already in his grasp, but when sorting out the number to call, his attention is diverted eh a woman who just came with a paper bag that can be guessed what the contents are.

"When is lunch Juna say-loh, where is Juna?"

Diana placed the paper bag she was carrying, approaching the husband who was still sitting quietly in his big chair.

"Mas, where's Juna going?"

"Our plan is off the mark"

Rahardian's words suddenly made Diana raise her eyebrows, astonished.

"You mean?"

"Arjuna knew everything. He, take Juna away to meet Cherry"

🌻

A car?

Cherry who had just gotten off the taxi knitted her eyebrows in astonishment. Whose car it was, he didn't know it. Are there any customers? But this is the lunch hour, the employees must also be resting in the back.

"Mommy's changing cars, anyway?!"

After paying for the taxi he was riding earlier, Cherry arranged her steps into a two-story house that blends with the cake shop below. He shifted the glass door, the inscription 'CLOSED' was attached there.

"Anin" Call Cherry to one of his employees, but there is no word from the girl named Anin. "To be lonely anyway?!" Its effects.

"Daddy cheated!"

It was the voice of Juna, his son. Who the hell is he with?

"Hey, you suck!"

DEG!

Cherry was silent as one step of her foot was on the steps of the stairs, her heart beating with a beat when she heard a very familiar voice by her ears.

"No! The cheating father!"

Breathing out slowly to neutralize the pounding of his heart, Cherry again stepped foot into a room on the upper floor. His mind was so certain as the voice grew clearer.

"Thank you for your defeat, Juna"

"What is that, you?" He said slowly before finally pushing the slightly opened door.

Cherry watched the burly back closely, her heart racing so fast, her blood flow surging erratically. Cherry sees clearly how her son is being tickled by a man who

"Daddy tickled, if you know your ears can be released because it has tickled Juna"

Instantly her tears pushed out, Cherry fell silent in her place with a feeling of uncertainty.

"Arjuna" He called her lirih.

The two people who both have the name turned in unison, the three of them were equally glued before finally Cherry walked over and-

THE PLAQUE!
