I Love You, Sir

14.

The break time had arrived and all the students immediately ran towards the cafeteria. Their bellies were already screaming for fill.

And so was Shandy's class. Just the first day they entered and they immediately got a sudden Chemistry quiz that made the brains of the entire class suddenly smoky.

“Check to the canteen. My head is like this steam train. Smoke directly from earlier.” Oceh Dara who has been frenzied since.

Monik and Shandy just followed his quick steps towards the canteen. And as expected, their school cafeteria was filled with a sea of humans. The three looked at each other and heaved a heavy sigh.

“Where? Want to eat in the cafeteria? Strong ngantri?” Shandy asked his two friends.

Dara's face that had been happy because it could finally fill her stomach immediately turned turbid because she saw the state of their canteen. It's worse than the exam season.

“No papa. We have to do the task if so. Because Dara's the most laper, so Dara's looking for a seat. I'm looking for food and Shandy's looking for a drink. How?” The Monik proposal that immediately got a nod of spirit by Dara.

And the three of them immediately split up. The moniker to their favorite mixed rice shop. While Shandy went to the juice shop at the end of the canteen.

The monik finished first and immediately headed towards Dara who got a seat near where Shandy was queuing for juice. Looks like the queue at the juice shop is much more because it's almost 15 minutes and Shandy still hasn't got his turn.

The atmosphere of the initially crowded canteen suddenly became silent. Everyone's eyes were fixed on a man who had been making a stir since his arrival this morning. That's where the new teacher is. Entering the canteen in his cool style. Walking from end to end, as if he was observing what was sold in this school cafeteria.

And accidentally his eyes met a look with Shandy who was also looking at him. And tell me Shandy's eyes are wrong, but he sees the man putting on his slanted smile when he sees the girl in line.

What does that smile mean? Want to ridicule, Shandy grumbled while breaking eye contact and looked back at the queue in front of him who lived a little.

“You pesen juice what is non?” Greet the juice salesman who made Shandy a little surprised.

“Triple juice three pack. Transferred to table there yes.” Said Shandy while pointing at his desk and his friends.

The seller just nodded and gave him a number as a table marker when he ordered the juice. When it comes to handing over money to pay, there is already another hand that precedes it.

“You guys pay got me yes. My money is 100 thousand. If only buy 1 like most of the change.” Said Dirga who somehow could, had been next to Shandy. And somehow the story until only the two of them stay in line at the juice shop.

Shandy just stared at the man flatly. “Thank you for the deal sir. I excuse.” Pamit Shandy and get away from the man.

“Wait.” Dirga's voice held back his steps. “On the table you can still add 1 more person? I no longer get a seat.”

Shandy sighed softly before turning his body which was 4 steps ahead of Dirga. He put on a fake smile as sweet as possible. “Still can sir. I think my friends and I are indebted for having been bought juice by my father. Let's pack, we're heading to my table.” And Shandy resumed his steps without looking back.

Please restrain Shandy from laughing out loud at the expressions of his two friends when he does not return by himself. He could see both of them gawking with a very stupid look. It was as if they had just seen the number 9 wonder of the world before them.

“Please sit sir. The seat next to Dara I think is still empty.” Said Shandy while sitting next to the Monik which automatically made him sit opposite Dirga.

“Good day. Sorry yes I interrupted your lunch.” Said Dirga who made Monik and Dara immediately shook his head.

“G-Interrupt how? Absolutely not.” Dara's Sahut was full of excitement with her voice slightly trembling. It seemed that he still did not expect that the teacher they had been gossiping about all morning was now sitting next to him.

“Good then. Uh, you're ipa's kids, right? Your emblem looks different colors.” Said Dirga while looking at the emblem of the class on the right arm of the student in front of him.

Dirga smiled looking at the girl. “I teach economy class 12. You're also class 12 right?” The monik nodded back. “Iya sir. We're all three in 12th grade ipa. Just the same Dara Shandy in my ipa 1 in ipa 3. This smart kid both.”

“All people are smart. Only smart in different parts.” Dirga Sahut.

Before long, their food and drink orders arrived. It turned out that the man had only ordered a cup of coffee and had not ordered any food.

“Mother doesn't eat? No laper sir?” Monik asked who saw there was only coffee without any food in front of his teacher.

Dirga just shook her head slowly. “I'm not too hungry. Just a little sleepy.” 

Monik nodded. He resumed his eating. Don't ask about Dara. The girl was already like a person who had not eaten for 3 days. He focused on eating without looking anywhere.

Shandy also ate quietly. Occasionally reply to a message with the mother who ensures about what time she will come home.

15 Minutes and the three finished with their meal. There's still 5 minutes before the re-entry bell rings. Dirga himself is still fun to enjoy his coffee while looking at the state of the canteen that began to be quiet.

“The father is running out there is still a class schedule again?” Ask Dara who tried to open the conversation again.

Dirga nodded briefly. “There is still 1 more.”

Dirga suddenly lifted her face and looked at Shandy right in her eyes. “Shandy doesn't like me? Looks like a little objection I joined in this table.” He said as he glanced at the name attached to the girl's right chest. It was as if he had just known the name of the girl.

Shandy who was asked so just put on his flat expression. He was a little surprised by the sudden question, but he did not want the man let alone his friends knew he was surprised.

“What does father mean?” Shandy asked back with a tone of voice that he made as friendly as possible.

“Iya. I feel uncomfortable with me being here. Both of your friends invited me to speak in a friendly manner. While you are not at all involved in our conversation.”

Shandy closed his eyes for a moment and looked back into the man's eyes. “I do this sir. I am less friendly with new people. Sorry if my nature offends mr.” Strictly speaking.

Dirga frowned hearing Shandy's reply. “Then why are you taking me to sit at your desk? If you mind, you should just reject it earlier.” Dirga still kept his tone low.

“Kan I told you earlier. This is a thank you for the juice you bought for us. No other intent.”

Shandy suddenly stood up from his seat. “I first yes. My head suddenly dizzy.” He said and immediately walked out of the canteen.

“Mafin Shandy yes sir. If he's not in the mood anymore. We also excuse you sir, shortly bell in.” Monik said as he pulled Dara's hand and chased after Shandy.

Dirga who saw the three leave only sighed. “Basic stubbornness. Look, even his lunch wasn't spent.” Mumbled Dirga who was staring at the plate in front of him which was still a third part left.

Inside the classroom, Shandy immediately buried his head in the folds of his hands on the table. He was upset by the man's behavior. Why since his arrival Shandy's life has been so messy.

“You're not papa? Tumben really you out of control like that.” Said Dara while rubbing Shandy's smooth back.

Shandy did not answer. He just kept his head buried until their teacher entered the classroom.
