The holiday is over. Now Aisha is back in busy with her school activities. Whether it's his teaching and learning activities, his hobby is music, playing with his friends, even with his meeting with a man who is still disturbing his heart.
Aisha goes through her first day in class XII with a blazing spirit. He walked down the school corridor with a smile that was so charming. Making anyone who saw it would be stunned and automatically smile too.
Normally, Aisha would stop by the IPS class before heading to her class. But because the location of the class is now on the second floor, while the IPS class is on the third floor, Aisha did not stop by first.
“Aishaaaaaa! I miss you! Shouted Adel as Aisha entered her class.
“Lebay, Del!” rahayu comments spicy.
Aisha just giggled at seeing it. He also missed the atmosphere of his school. Especially with these friends.
They also walked side by side to their class, namely class XII MIPA 1. The joy never faded on the girls' faces. Making anyone who saw it would feel envious because of the sincerity of their friendship.
Members of D-And-Cook Gengs belong to popular students at his school. Each of them has a performance in their field. Yes, they are gangs but in a positive sense.
The girls arrived at her class a short time later. Then before long, the sound of the bell sign of the lesson will soon begin to sound. Aisha and her friends were serious about what her teacher said.
Until the clock shows at 10:00, the first hour of rest sounds. Get all students out of their classes. No exception Aisha and her friends.
As usual, they gathered at a table in the middle of the cafeteria with a complete formation. Then they ordered the food they were going to eat this time. While waiting for the food to come, Aisha permits to go to the restroom first.
His friends also offer to accompany Aisha, but it feels like he does not need to be accompanied. After all, he has been very familiar with the location of the restroom in his school.
Meanwhile, a man who saw Aisha from the corner of the cafeteria followed Aisha.

Aisha walks casually and occasionally hums a little before a hand pulls her into the infirmary next to her left.
“Awww!” surprised moaning. He was even more shocked when he saw who had pulled him here. “Ba-father?” He was surprised not to play after seeing the man here.
Aisha tries to release Rian's hand in her hand. But the grip is very strong. Until what happened, Aisha felt pain from her reddened white hands.
“Pak, pain!” Tweet slowly. The awakened Rian immediately loosened his check without letting go of Aisha's hand.
“Sorry.” Regretfully. Aisha did not respond to Rian's remarks. The girl turned her gaze in the other direction so as not to see the man in front of her. “Why stay away from me, Sha? You didn't even reply to my chat!” He said that he did not see the rejection from Aisha when the girl's hand was still in his grasp.
“That's my right.” Answer Aisha briefly.
“Sha.... I beg you! I really love you. I can't see you avoiding me, Sha!”
“Love me? Ahahahaha! Father joking!”
Rian frowned confusedly. He did not know what was on the mind of this girl in front of him. The girl laughed but her face implied sadness, seen from her eyes that had already let out painful water droplets for Rian to see.
“Hey! Why are you crying? I hurt you?” Ask Rian gently. He wiped away the tears on Aisha's cheek and tried to give a soft rub to Aisha's reddened hand earlier. The girl did not refuse, she was instead closed to enjoy the gentle touch of Rian who was attentive.
Aisha still did not open her voice. While Rian was trying desperately to resist his desire not to hug the beautiful girl in front of him.
“I saw the father along with an adorable woman and toddler in the sling a few days ago. And now you still say that you love me? Bad father!” skink. He also expressed his annoyance at the man in front of him.
“You see me?”
“Yes! I saw how romantic two adults and a toddler were in their midst. I'm not stupid to know if something happened between the father and the woman!”
Rian who heard it was silent could not make a sound. He is shocked to find out that Aisha saw him with the woman. But reality made him curious.
“Sha.... Why are you mad to see me with another woman?” rian asked quite surprisingly for Aisha. He did not expect that Rian would ask on target.
“Ka-because..” Aisha is confused to explain the truth or not. A reality made him undo his intentions but his little heart whispered to immediately tell Rian about the contents of his heart so far. “Because the man in Aisha's note was Mr. Rian!” he said in one breath.
Aisha felt her heart racing faster at this moment. He was afraid to hear the answer from the man he loved. But he was prepared to accept any risk.
While Rian who heard the confession from Aisha was shocked extraordinary. Because he did not expect if the girl in front of him also had the same taste as him.
Unmindful Rian also pulled the girl into his arms. He stroked Aisha's long mane while giving thanks to God who had made the girl in front of him feel what he had felt all along.
“Thanks, Sha! Thank you for feeling what I feel too. I'm happy, Sha. Really!” I'm Rian then. He keeps Aisha's body away from her without removing the grip on Aisha's shoulder.
“No!” Aisha suddenly pushes Rian's body away from her until her grip on Aisha's shoulder is released.
“Hey! You why?”
“Woman it-“
“Listen to me first!” cut Rian off before Aisha finished her speech. “The woman is named Meidia, she's the woman I'm going to marry. And that toddler you mean is my niece, her name is Clarissa.” Obviously Rian. Making Aisha instead of relieved to feel more devastated to hear the reality if the man she loves is already in a match with another woman.
Aisha did not refuse as Rian clasped her hand back.
“You should know, Sha! I don't love Meidia. I went with him just because he happened to be asked by my mother to shop for home necessities. You have to trust me, Sha! I just love you. And it will be like that forever.” Rian pulls Aisha back in his arms. Fortunately, he did not reject it.
Aisha fell silent after listening to Rian's explanation. He heard the honesty in the tone of the voice of this man he loved. A smile rose on Aisha's pink lips.
They kept hugging no matter where they were at the moment. Then Aisha who regained her senses let go of their warm embrace first.
“One more time thank you, Sha! I love you.” Rian said after their embrace came off.
Aisha was unable to repay him. He only displayed a very sweet smile while nodding his head. Then they came out of the health room after previously seeing the state of the window to make sure if no one would see them out together from inside the health room.
Aisha breaks off her intention to go to the restroom and decides to return to the cafeteria. Followed by Rian who walked far behind him while watching him.

Arriving Aisha in the cafeteria, she was already held up by the astonished gazes of her companions. Aisha sat on an empty bench next to Hendra before answering a question asked by Daffi.
“Toilet on the 1st floor full all the same adek class changing clothes out of sport. Keep me on the 2nd floor. Hence old.” Aisha's lies were very convincing. Make his friends believe only with the reasons given by Aisha.
“Into your meal, Sha! It was cold.” Remember Ningrum.
“Sorry we left you. Finish you long.” Said Rahayu who felt bad.
“Hey... just relax! You are rich, just like anyone! Yaudah yuk continue eating!” Answer Aisha.
Then they continued eating activities that had been delayed earlier.
Rian in the corner of the room stole a glance towards Aisha. Which caused the girl's white cheeks to show a reddish hue. While Rian who saw it even held his lips to not smile.
Unbeknownst to them, Irul noticed both. He can guess what happened to his friend and the teacher. Irul immediately pulled out his phone silently and typed in a message for someone along with an amateur video showing both.
After being sent, Irul put his phone back in his uniform pocket and acted as if he didn't know anything.
They continued eating with occasional jokes. After the entrance bell rang, they simultaneously moved from the canteen bench to return to their respective classes.

A man wiped away the tears flowing from the corner of his eye. He had just finished reading a message containing a video about the latest news of the girl he loved in silence.
“So I'm late, Qia?” Ask him alone. The man squeezed his phone tightly, after which slammed it in any direction. No matter how the phone came into being after that. He who was enveloped by pain also growled furiously.
“I'm here, Qia! Why don't you remember me?” said again.
The man could not bear the wounds inflicted because of his delay in taking back what was still his. Yes, he still thought that the girl named Qia was his all along.
And he was so unwilling when someone took it.
The man got up from his seat and grabbed the leather jacket draped behind the white wooden door. He came out of the room and went to a place that would always remind him of the girl.

Aisha POV
I got home a few hours ago. Now I was lying in bed watching the phone screen showing my last chat with Mr. Rian. Uh! I was confused what to call him. Does it stick with the designation ‘Pak’? Or should I replace it? But if I replace it, what do I have to replace it with?
Mas's? Ck! I felt my tongue bewildered to say that word.
Sis? But he's not my brother.
Bang's? But I also called my cousin brother ‘Abang’.
Ah, nevermind! Let it run like water. I will still call him ‘Bapak’ so that my friends do not suspect if until I miss calling him by another name.
I thought about where our relationship would take us. Waitaminute! A connection? I just realized, what relationship am I living with that man?
Even when we were in the infirmary he said nothing but love to me.
Hemmm..... So I'm in a relationship without status with him?
All righty! Doesn't matter!
The important thing is that I love him and he is the same. I'm very happy for now.
My heart beats like never before. This time it's like in a pump hundreds of times faster. And I realized that it was all because of a grown man named Rian. The man I love so much. And he loves me too. Didn't they?
Mr. Rian is my first love. For seventeen years I have lived, I have never had this feeling. And I hope that the relationship we have with this love can lead us both to happiness. As well as breaking people's arguments if first love inevitably ends in separation. I don't want that to happen!
I also put my phone back after Mr. Rian told me that he had to attend an MGMP event at one of the state High Schools to discuss the learning plan this year. After that I tried to fall asleep with a smile on my face.

Today Rian is attending a Subject Teacher Consultation or what is often abbreviated as MGMP. It aims to discuss the learning plan over the next year. And Rian with his laptop and other stationery was ready at one of the tables in the room.
Before the event began, Rian first sent his girl a message if he was in this place right now. Not nothing, Rian knows if the girl he loves is still a teenager who just felt love. He just doesn't want Aisha to feel unappreciated as his lover.
Waitaminute!
A lover?!
Rian just remembered that he didn't ask Aisha. He simply said that he loved Aisha without asking her to commit. ‘Didn't teenagers today really need a status?’thought Rian.
But he didn't think too deeply. She thinks positively that Aisha is not one of the girls with many such demands. She thought saying love was enough to keep Aisha by her side.
He reinserted his phone after seeing a blue checklist, indicating that the girl had read the message he sent. Then he tried to focus on his colleagues who were doing a presentation in front of everyone in the room.
