The time passed so quickly, today is the day that class XII held a graduation procession. The official event was completed a while ago, now is the time for the art show to begin. Aisha who was asked to be a star in the event that was so magnificent was preparing herself.
In his performance later, Aisha will perform 2 songs with her band, and some songs request an from friends and teachers who watch.
Amira and Hendra, Aisha's best friend who was appointed to be the MC, have started reading out the arrangement of the show. Now on stage is being staged a comedy drama from the 10th grade, followed by several other performances from other classes.
“Better Band, 5 minutes away you guys perform yes!” said Ningrum who became the show sie.
“Oke.” Answer Aisha briefly.
She is still busy with her job of polishing a little makeup on the face of Zahwa, the lead singer in her band. While the male members, Hendra, Ahmad and Izza have been in the backstage since.
Better Band was already on stage at that time, then they began to sing some songs that had been arranged, after previously a little pleasantries.
“Thank you all! And congratulations to the brothers who successfully passed 100%!” Said Zahwa to close their appearance this time.
Whether who changed the show, Aisha was not allowed to step off the stage. Hendra and Amira invite Aisha to chat while her friends are already in the audience.
“Waaaah! Looks like friends are still lacking the same appearance of Aisha. Yes no?!” Amira. Gets an enthusiastic reception from the audience. They compactly say YES with echoing shouts.
“What if Aisha we give her another performance time, Ra?” Connect Hendra.
“Good idea, Hen! Aisha wants to cheer us back up? We are big fans of you!”
Aisha who was asked such a question looked at Amira and Hendra alternately with furrowed eyebrows, indicating that she was confused.
“Udah no longer needs to be asked, Ra. He's gonna want to!”
Amira and Hendra seemed to be holding back their smiles. I don't know what that smile means. Then some of the organizers who became the equipment team went to the stage by carrying a large piano. Aisha was quite surprised. So he's here to sing a song on the piano? Holy hooch!

Aisha POV
Whataaaaaaa?! Who changed the arrangement of this event? Not that when I saw the rundown earlier, I would only perform once? Why am I being told to perform again? Just look at the person who changed this show! I'll make sure he pays the extra fee for my impromptu gig!
I can't do anything anymore. Seeing the enthusiasm of my friends and teachers relieved my heart. Therefore, in order not to disappoint them, I was willing to sing a song with piano accompaniment.
I also began to press the piano keys from the intro of a song that is being liked at this time. The screams and the welcome I got from them.
“There goes my heart beating. Cause you are the reason.”
I started singing Column Scott's song You Are The Reason. I don't know, this song kind of reminds me of him who was the reason I stayed at this school and turned down some student exchange offers to other schools.
As the song I was playing was about to enter the ref section, I was struck by another voice that came singing with me. I wonder who the man is, but in order to maintain the steady tone of the keys I play, I dare not look at him. I just feel like I know that voice.
“I’d climb every mountain. Swim every ocean.”
“Just to be with you. And fix what I’ve broken.”
“Oo Cause I need you, to see.”
“That you are the reason.”
At the end of the song, I admit I was quite amazed by how I looked and that person. Moreover, hearing a standing ovation from the audience in the VIP seats as well as those standing near the stage. I who was shrouded in curiosity also stood up from the chair and turned my body to look at my duet partner. After that, I was also very surprised.
Oh no! My heart!!

Rian POV's
Say I'm sneaky! With the determination to change the arrangement of the event when everything is going very well. But I don't care. I can no longer hold this feeling. And now it's time for me to reveal what I feel to the girl in front of many students as well as my peers.
I asked Hendra and Amira to arrest Aisha so that she would sing a song on the piano. I know the piano game is very good. I've seen him in the music room when I didn't realize he was asleep in the corner.
He began to sing the song. Lucky for me because it turns out he sang a song that fit for a duet. I also started to take the stage as he was about to enter the ref section.
I know he was surprised. Evidently with a voice coming out from his lips sounded a little trembling. But it didn't last long. He is good enough to master his music. And I am amazed at this ability.
“I’d climb every mountain. Swim every ocean.”
“Just to be with you. And fix what I’ve broken.”
“Oo Cause I need you, to see.”
“That you are the reason.”
I think the lyrics we just sang are not just an expression. I will do the same for this girl, climb all the mountains, cross all the oceans, everything I will do. Because he is the reason I survive to be a teacher at this school even though my income as an entrepreneur is more guaranteed my life.
After he finished playing the koda on his keys, he stood up and turned his body. I saw that surprise. Suddenly he held onto his chest with a face that was already deathly pale. I'm so worried. I approached him to make sure he was okay. But his response made me feel sad, he walked off the stage at such a fast pace.
O-wow... So my plan failed?
Huff...... All right, it's okay! I'm sure that opportunity will come again.

Aisha is still trying to normalize her heartbeat in the ladies' bathroom. If you thought Aisha was in love with her classmate, you were wrong. Aisha loves Rian, a young teacher who has never even taught in her class. She begins to love Rian when he becomes an impromptu music teacher in his class, as the teacher teaching is on maternity leave.
Exactly right!
Each of them has the same great love, but both of them do not know about the feelings of each other.
When it was felt Aisha's heart was beating normally, she ventured to open the door and get out of the bathroom. But he was so surprised when it turned out that the man who had managed to make his heart tremble was not because he was standing in front of him.
Note it! In front of!

Aisha POV
D-he? W-how could he be here? Isn't this a ladies' bathroom? Or maybe he was following me? Nah! nay! I can't be too confident. I was afraid that my confidence would bring me down so deeply.
“B-father is here?” I can't hide my curiosity.
“Searching you.” Ambiguous answer. Searching for? Wh-wh-what for?
“A-what's up, sir?”
“Can we talk somewhere else? It's a ladies' bathroom, I don't want anyone to misunderstand.” Her request.
“I-iya, sir.” I who did not have the guts to talk too long just followed his request. I followed him who walked ahead of me. And without me noticing, now we both have entered my school music hall. Well if I may be arrogant my school is indeed very big. There are several halls inside. One of them is the music hall, which I am currently entering with Mr. Rian.
“What's up, sir?” I asked him who was very curious about what he wanted to say.
Mr. Rian was silent for quite a while. With her position looming before me, I could clearly see her expression that seemed to indicate a worry. But worry about what?
“I'm looking for you because there's something I want to talk about. Can?”
“T-certain, sir. Please!”
Oh God! Why am I so nervous like this. Please don't make me die of fleas like this. I don't want to look silly in front of him.
I saw Mr. Rian exhale before starting the ceremony with me. I did the same. Exhaling to neutralize my heartbeat that beats incoherently.
“Are you looking for this book?” tanyanya then pulled something out from behind her suit. I recognize that stuff. That's my diary! But how could the book be in Mr. Rian's hands.
Oho!
Is... W-why has Rian read it? Ah no!
“Ba-how can Aisha's book be in the Father? Aisha has been looking for him for too long.”
“Previously forgive me for keeping your book too long. I actually found this book when you and your friends were in the cafeteria. You left it when Miss Tari caught you guys still joking even though the lesson hours have started. Remember?”
“Iya, Sir. Aisha remember.”
I saw Mr. Rian put my book back in his suit.
“Pak? Why don't you give it back to Aisha? And even save it.”
“Sorry for that. And sorry also because I have read all the contents.”
“A-what? S-all?”
“Iya. And I can conclude that you are admiring a man. Can I know who he is?”
“Ti-no! No one.”
“Sha... Sorry if what I said bothered you. But, I can no longer hold it for too long. I love you, Sha. Hugely. Allow me to replace the man in your note.”
Aisha was stunned by what she had just heard. He even pinched his arm hard enough, until he complained hard enough and realized that all this was not a dream.
“I mean Mr?”
“Maybe this sounds ludicrous, Sha. But I'm very serious. I have loved you since the first time I knew you. And I want to be the man in your record. Can?” rian asked with his sharp gaze glaring at Aisha.
Aisha is confused as to what to answer. Because actually the man in his diary is the man himself.the man in front of him who now holds his hands tightly. Aisha felt that warmth. His rebellious mind asked him to be honest about his feelings all along. But something still stuck in his heart.
“Why did you choose me? There are still many other women who are more deserving of father's love.”
“Because Aisha is Aisha. The girl with her innocence was able to make me think about her every day. The girl who knows what makes me fall into her charms. And that girl is you Aisha, I really sincerely love you. Don't you feel my sincerity?”
After a long struggle with her own thoughts, Aisha released Rian's grip on her arm. He dared to look at the handsome face of the adult man before him.
“Sorry, Sir. I can't.”
“Why? Can't you learn to love me too? I promise I will take care of you.”
“The reason is easy, sir. My father is a teacher and I am a student. We're in the same school. It would feel unethical if until the school residents know this.”
“We can have a relationship without being known to others, Sha. I promise I will keep this a secret.”
“I still can't, Sir. Our age is quite far away. Ten years! I think you can get another mature woman, Mr.”
“Then what love do I have this wrong, Sha? Wrong if a man loves a girl regardless of her age?”
“No! Father not wrong.”
“Then?”
“I still can't, Sir! Forgive me.” Aisha said in the end. Aisha leaves Rian in excruciating pain. How not? His feelings were torn apart just by hearing the sentence that came out of his own mouth. He rejected a man he loved so much just because he did not want the man he loved to be involved in trouble.
