If You Love

Eps. 24. Professor Linglung

🪧 Guys part is not sweet... Brill was taught to think about his past life.That he was still a teenager who had no purpose...

.

Brill was doing something big for himself. Today Brill is in a room where the Self Selection exam is being conducted. He answered as much as he knew, because he realized he was never serious when studying first at school, no wonder many of which he filled randomly, tick-not betool, tik-tak betool, maybe choose the right answer for a button trick, I don't know only Brill who knows.

Om Markus is so concerned with his foster children, he enlisted Brill, he who completed the online test, but for the offline test Brill must advance on his own.

Oma Susan and om Manuel, the Rector of the University managed to convince Brill to do something for him.

Speaking to Manuel at Manuel's house last night...

¤ Flashback ¤

"Hey.. handsome..."

Om Manuel greets Brill in the living room in Manuel's private house, Brill just smiles thinly at his older sister.

This one om has a warm character like Susan, does not look stiff despite having a position, and does not look old despite the title of Professor, especially when talking to him is never boring, it is not, in fact, he learned to argue with Manuel, whenever he came to see that Susan liked to lure him into a conversation and waited for him to say something about the thing he was discussing with oma.

Why does the other guy always look better than the guy he calls papi?

"Are you ready for tomorrow's test?"

Brill shrugged his shoulders followed by the Rector.

"Why does it look unenthusiastic?"

Brill glanced for a moment at Manuel who was sitting relaxed by folding one leg, one hand patting the armrests like he was following a certain rhythm.

"Om... What college is the only way to live for the better?"

"Depending on which angle you go, for certain people yes..."

"I want to know the point of view of Man..."

"Omm?"

Om Manuel pointed at himself in a hilarious fashion, his forefinger swaying in front of his chest with two raised eyebrows on his friendly face. Brill nodded, he needed people's opinions at this time, he was still gamang about college and did not have any goals for his own life.

"People say a good life is because he managed to achieve something. So you graduated from High School it has also entered the category of better life... because there are people who can't graduate High School because of circumstances..."

Brill remembered Rilly, because circumstances could not finish school.

Is he going to school there?

"But everyone has a scheme of success in themselves.they struggle to get success according to their orientation, more... nah you want to chase which one is Brill?"

"Nobody.I don't need any of that..."

"Hmmm... "

Om Manuel still patted his sofa armrest, looking at his bangs who seemed to have a striking skepticism.

"Don't have love to pursue?"

Om Manuel asked in a witty voice as well as a facial expression that teased his nephew.

"There's nothing to do with it. I don't know about it..."

Brill turns out to be a gamang also about it.. There is the name of a girl in his heart and mind now, but what is it including the category of love?

"Getting a boyfriend includes success right.. managed to break the status of incombility... hehehe..."

"Om kayak is not a professor deh.. is too relaxed, right he said that the professor is very serious, stiff, thinking continues to gray hair or bald..."

"So yes.yeah yes that professor dazed like, has lost the orientation of life really, really focused on proving a lot of strange things... the professor is the highest academic position.he must have broad insight and knowledge and have special skills, must have a lot of research, have a lot of scientific work... hehehe.. but life should be enjoyed also casually, when you have to think seriously.. but the same time you also have to be serious anyway..."

Brill listens to her talkative omnya relaxed but straightforward and unknowingly carried away on the interaction built omnya...

"Sign that person is alive then he will pursue something, will do something, want something...What do you most want you to pursue now?"

Rilly's? Yeah, like he's the one I want to pursue...

"If you want to chase a girl, her parents will see who you are, what you have.it includes material or status even a title that holds behind your name..."

Brill frowned, this om like knowing what came to his heart about what he wanted to pursue the most.

"Because of its orientation in the world of education. Getting a degree is not a yardstick of success, just like stretching the path between the many paths that must be chosen..."

"I mean om?"

"You are free to choose which way to go, through college or through your own business, but the most important thing is that you have to choose one way..."

Brill seemed to think...

"Why not follow the path that already exists, another path will appear in front there..."

"What?"

"Lecture?"

"Om kayak mami papi..."

"Different dong..um tells you to take your own path and you say you do not have, because om Rector om obliged to offer this path for you..."

"But that's mami papi's idea too..."

"Parents are also obliged to send children according to the law, Brill..."

"But it is very lazy to be forced to follow their wishes... Why do parents always feel the most informed about their child's life..."

"Hehehe. that's the question of the children of the world. The answer is the same, because we have outlived you and have passed you while facing now..."

"But they are overly demanding parents and never do their duty to the child..."

Om Manuel saw a wounded child and moaned about the screams of his heart. He looked at his feet...

"Your parents are great people.they are among the best leaders of the country..."

Om Manuel looked at Brill with a meaningful gaze...

"They're good leaders but not good parents, they were never there for me..."

"But you exist because of them, you can't deny that..."

"Yes.but was I just born to be abandoned?"

"Hm... You've never been stranded. You've had enough of everything, you're probably the only kid in the province who's got it all..."

"But I feel that way.I was even used to smooth out all their goals..."

"To achieve something high, there must be sacrificed, no cross no crown..."

"But why me? Why should I be sacrificed? Why try to get me just to be sacrificed? I like to think better I was never born..."

"You belong to them, already in their hands, whatever happens forever you remain there as their own, one can be briefly on the highest throne and in an instant can be thrown into the lowest place and humiliated. then with all the efforts of the office, the position must be maintained to last for a while, even if it looks stable but politicians still have a great fear, especially about the conspiracy around them, friends can be suspicious..."

"I mean om?"

"Your parents in their position are actually uncomfortable too.They still want to take care of you, so.. they chose to let you go for a moment. indeed now you are not a priority in their lives... so let them enjoy their present achievements Brill, let them enjoy their glory.....So one day this time will end? You. because you're still there..."

"So I have to accept this situation? It's not fair to me..."

"Yes.everyone complains of injustice in their place..."

"Om ribet ahh. I can't think that far..."

"Haha..."

Om Manuel deliberately invites Brill to argue, wants to open the understanding of this child so as not to be too self-pitying and continue to be apathetic, and too cynical to his own parents.

"What matters is that you are Brill yourself, if you are not satisfied with your life now, then you must change it. Don't demand that your parents change you... you will forever be dissatisfied if only your parents are the only source of your life satisfaction, why don't you go after the others now..."

"What do I think I should do?"

"Lah... from earlier om already said.. do not listen yes?"

"Is there a... college?"

"Yes..."

"Keep... What faculty should I choose? I don't have any ideas..."

"Faculty of Social and Political Sciences? Department of State Administration?"

"Om.. sebel deh. it's kayak niru papi..."

"Like Father Like Son's? Haha... Om from there too. om the Dean there before becoming Rector... Consider it follow om, not your papi..."
