I LOVE YOU, TEACHER

I LOVE YOU, TEACHER
Reason Andra skipped school



"Where are you going?" Shouted Kak Fahri after he looked back.


Out of curiosity, I also looked back.


At the end of there, it looks like Brother Adam who just turned his body back in direction. He seemed to be hesitating with his steps there.


"A? Come back to the mosque first. Forgot to wake up Rashid." Brother Adam said as he walked away.


"It's so weird, the same time you yourself can forget." I said astonishment.


"Yes already. Let's go again." Said Brother Fahri while He hooked my hand again, sober I was surprised mixed with confusion.


"Eh, sorry Forgot." He said again as soon as he let go of my hand, he smiled and looked away, ashamed perhaps.


Forgotten or intentionally?


I was just smiling from there, between joy and shame. I never thought I could get this close to Kak Fahri, the man who since the beginning of his arrival had made these minds and hearts confused with uncertain anxiety. Aish!! It's like a song.

The next day it turns out Andra is not in class anymore. I feel guilty, lest it be true that he didn't come in because of me. He has missed two days of lessons, if he continues not to go to school without a license, he may later get a warning letter again. Well, don't let it.


Even though he has been rude to me, but it doesn't feel like he's been expelled from school. I have to do something so Andra can go back to school.


I'll just ask Nela, she's still Andra's neighbor, maybe Nella knows why Andra didn't go to school.

"Nella!" I approached Nella as all the students were preparing to go home from school.


"This is a joke." I pulled his hand away from the crowd of other students.


"What's the matter, Ghis?" Ask Nella.


"Andra why aren't two days in?" I asked directly to the point.


"Where do I know," he said with a shrug.


"You're his neighbor, you don't know?"


"Duely don't know. I never went in front of his house."


I sighed, disappointed that I could not find the answer to my question.


"Ciye..! So much attention, to everything."


"St!!" I touched my index finger in front of my lips, my head turned to the left right to make sure no one eavesdropped on our conversation.


"What the hell, people just doang really. He's also our friend. Don't you feel sorry if he gets a warning letter for days skipping school?" Obviously I was with Nela, trying to convince Nela not to think anything of me. I don't want to be thought to have feelings for that perverted-brained delinquent.


"Yes, pity too. But you look like you're worried. What the hell is going on?" Lecar Nella, make me flutter. I had to tell you about what happened that day. Be present, don't be. That Aib.


"There's nothing Nella. Seriously just pity if he gets kicked out of school if he misses out later." I said trying to explain what I mean.


"I can't tell you Nel, if what I'm really afraid of is that he'll get sanctioned for having a problem with me." Inner saying.


"Jaudah. I'll try to find out." Nela.


"Or if you have the number, just ask Nel." Usulku.


"Punya. Yes, yes, okay!" Nela mangosteen agrees to my point.


"Siipp! Thanks to Nel." I pat Nela on the shoulder and leave. I hope Nela can help.

"Astaghfiullah!!" I was surprised to see Brother Adam suddenly in my kitchen. More precisely he was standing in the corner of the room.


The man looked up when he heard my screams. As fast as lightning I covered my head with the towel I originally attached to the boat. Luckily I was wearing a covered dress, only I wasn't wearing a hijab.


"Regular ajalah. I see a ghost." He spoke after turning his face back, then focused again with the object that he was originally fiddling with. Apparently he was fixing the water pump engine cable. What else is broken?


"Recognize Brother is here? Why not tell me if you want to come in here anyway? Good thing I'm fit again.." I hung up my words, hesitating a little to continue. Actually just want to say, "luck fit again covered clothes." But yeah, that's it.


The man looked at it and then turned again.


Uh, quizzed even diem.


Bodo very much, I continued my steps to the bathroom located in the back room of this kitchen. Good luck


let the bathroom not be one room with the kitchen, if so I might undo my intention to take a shower right now if the man is still in my kitchen. I don't know, I'm ashamed.


After getting into the bathroom, I took my clothes off and turned the shower faucet around, but somehow the water didn't even come out of there. Wawat, looks like the water from the tandon is running out.


I peeked at the medium-sized bathtub, the water stayed in a little bit where enough for me to shower, not to mention making wudlu.


Huft, I had to put my clothes back on and get out of the bathroom again. My steps stopped when Brother Adam was saying something.


"If you want to take a shower first, the water in the tandon runs out. The water pump engine still can't be cut." He said without looking at it one bit. Uhh, really jutek. Why don't you tell me before I go to the bathroom. I've already removed clothes but not so bathing, it's so it happens.


I continued my steps with a slight stomp of my feet, in protest of my frustration with him because he did not say from the beginning that the water in the tandon was running out. I suspect he was intentionally silent. You know how it looks like when you have already released clothes but the water for bathing is not even there.


"Who the hell, did the stone-hearted man come here? Nothing else is." I snorted annoyed.


"Mother Umar went where else." I threw my body on the couch and squeezed the TV remote. Scroll of the clock on the wall showing 16:15


It was a long time ago, this afternoon.


I just remembered, Umar at this hour has not returned from TPQ. Where do you go then?


Mom came from outside with something in a plastic bag.


"Where did mom end up? That's why there's someone in the kitchen, ma'am?" I stopped my step.


"Mom ran out of coffee, so Mom went to the mbak Ina shop to buy coffee for Adam who was actually a water pump machine inside it. Just now I want to turn on the water pump to ngisi tandon can not turn on, like the cable is problematic. Your father is not coming home at this hour, while the water in the tandon has run out, Mother just came to the house of Mbah Idris, there are many men who know who can be asked for help," explained Mother at length, I, I'm just a beard.


Ogh, so so. My father at this hour has not come home, usually before the new magrib arrives home. My father had a wholesale shop not too far from our house.


Why don't you ask Kak Fahri anyway, if he's here I become seneng.


"It's still a while, ma'am? I haven't had a shower."


"Mother doesn't know Ghis, so take a shower. You're not praying either?"


"Yes, not yet."


"Ish, you brat. Pray first, shower later!" Snapped Mom, made me bow.


"Host in his house Mbak Mila or Mbah Idris can!" Mother's Order. If my mother has gone up in black like this I must act immediately before the third world war.


I immediately got up to take the hijab from the room and rushed to the house Mbah Mila, the house next door. Embarrassed to ride in his house mbah Idris, there are many men.

After completing the Ashar prayer, I went out of the room to check whether Brother Adam had finished his pump machine or not. I was so excited about taking a shower.


Just as I was about to peek out from the door that connects the living room and the kitchen, suddenly Brother Adam appeared and we almost collided.


My reflexes put my legs back, giving way for the Man to pass first. He walked past me with his face down and said nothing.


Ishi!! Tell me what cake. Diem-diem bae is like no one ever knew!


I pursed my lips, mocking the man whose back seemed to be moving away.


I went back to the room to get a towel and went to take a shower.

[Where is Nel, any word on Andra?]


I sent a Whatsapp message to Nella's number. Not long after, Nella sent a reply.


[Yes, I met him, he said he was sick]


Hmm.. pain? Really sick or just pretending.


[But strangely he was asking if there was a teacher he was asking for.] Message from Nella again.


I smiled cynically, so it was true that I thought he had skipped school for fear that I would report his behavior to Master.


I remember, at that time he was threatened by Brother Adam to be reported to the Headmaster. Apparently the threat of Adam's brother really made him afraid.


Brother Adam, even though you're cheeky but I'm very grateful to you.


[Oh, that. Thank you for the info.] I sent a reply to Nella.


[Ciye.totally attention, same Andra. Since when?]


[What since when?]


[You guys are made up]


Whats? Made up. Huh, fuck this up. Nella misunderstood.


[Amit-amit deh, who would want to be the same son of a delinquent Nell. Look out, you don't spread hoax news. Sin knows!]


[Hahaha, yes, yes. I'm just wondering why you got Nanyain Andra that.]


Well, I definitely don't, same Nella. Let him not spread rumors that are not later in school.


[Gini, I actually have a problem with Andra. But I swear, this isn't the case as you thought Nel was. That's why I wonder if Andra didn't go to school because of the problems that exist between us]


Hopefully with tabayyun Nella will not think again if I have a relationship with Andra. We are encouraged to bertabayyun in every problem in order to avoid hoax news that eventually even become slander.


[What is Ghis' problem?]


[So, anyway.] I pinned the picture emoticons sticking out the tongue.


[Well, that's it.]


[You see, this is Nel's personal problem, I don't think I need to tell you. Milka is a close friend of mine I didn't tell you.] I obviously went to Nella.


[Hm, if that's what you want, Ghis. I don't mean.]


[Yes, bye. Thanks to Nel.]


[Ok.]


I'm not answering any more chat from Nella. Thank God, hopefully with the knowledge of Andra if there is no teacher who calls him, tomorrow he will not skip again.


Pity her mother was tired of money for nyekolahin but her son even skipped school.


Yes, even though he's been making trouble with me, but that doesn't mean that it's going to make me take revenge on him and let him get sanctioned or even kicked out of school. I'm not that cruel.


After returning to chat with Nella, I switched to open the youtube application to watch movies. But suddenly dry throat, very thirsty.


I get out of bed and out of the room, meaning I want to go to the kitchen to get a drink. But when I arrived in front of the room, I was like hearing a male voice that I don't think was my father's voice, could there be a guest?. But I also heard the voice of Umar who seemed to be speaking in the voice of the man. It seems that the sound came from the living room, because my room was not far from the living room so I could hear it.


I ignored it and went to the kitchen to get a drink, as I passed the living room I saw Dad and Mom watching TV together. Who is Umar dong?


"Well, are there any guests for you even here?" Dad looked up when I asked him. Likewise with Mother who also turned her head, then focused again to the glass screen.


"Whose guest?" Ask Dad back.


"Don't know. It was in front again talking to Umar.


"Oh, that's Fahri's son again help Umar understand Arabic PR." Answer Mother.


"Eh? Brother Fahri?" Mumbles. I gasped, as soon as this chest throbbed to hear the name of the heart idol being in my house right now. Suddenly I was smiling to myself.


I rushed to the kitchen, I grabbed a glass from the dish rack and drained the water from the dispenser.


I sipped a glass of water to quench my thirst.


Suddenly came a brilliant idea so that I have a reason to go ahead, the intention is to meet Kak Fahri. Chance dong, he's in my house again.


I don't know, I've become so addicted to always being around him. And last afternoon we went home from school together, even we had a chance to touch hands. More precisely he held my hand, whether he was intentional or not.


Upon arrival at home, I still admired the back of my hand, the former hand of Kak Fahri who still left a fragrant smell there. Wonder why men's perfumes can be so strong. Suppose he was passing by again, the smell was still left behind even though the person was invisible from the eye.


*


"Who's Ghisna for coffee?" My steps came to a halt when Mom asked as I passed them again in the living room.


"Make Fahri's sister." I answered half nervously. Afraid of being caught if her son is in mode.


"Lhawong, I made coffee."


My eyes widen, feeling like a dead flea. So how this dong, time must fail my plan.
