Love in Mystery

A bottle of drinking water

“Pak, how come?” After receiving the news from the students. “So that guy was named Ciko, huh?”

Mr Fathan who was working on his Lecturer's job suddenly stopped and turned to me while saying, “So from the beginning you didn't know the name of the person?”

I shook my head and then said, “But sir, to be honest. I feel so familiar with that name. Like I've heard of it. But where, I forgot.”

“Oh,” says it's short like not taking my words seriously.

I who felt this disregard was finally gone. But before I left, I asked him to return my phone which he had confiscated at that time.

After I got my phone, I called my Mom and Dad at home.

“Halo,” I said when the phone was picked up by Mom.

“Halo, Fir. You finally called us too. How are you?” ask Mother.

“Good, Mom. Then how's it going there? Is everything okay?” my many.

“Paad and Mom's news is fine, baby,” says mom.

“Oh so. Thank goodness,” my words.

“O yes, when are you going home?” ask Mother.

“Not yet, Mom. I can go home when. See the situation later,”.

“Oh. Yes, already then. You're fine there. Take care of your health and do not like staying up late,” the message.

“Iya Bu,..” sahutku, “Ya already yes, Ma'am. I hung up.”

“Iya,” said Mom was short and the phone was terminated.

Shortly after the call ended, Mr. Fathan suddenly entered my room and said that he would accompany me home tomorrow.

How surprised I was to make me say, “But Sir,..”

“No buts. Never mind. Anyway after the campus event is finished, we will immediately leave,” he said who always did not want to be denied.

I too can't refuse. Until he says again, “Sorry, Fir. I just want you to forget for a moment all your nightmares.”

I was still silent and did not reply.

“Ya. Quickly rest. Tomorrow you have to perform. Don't let you faint later,” he said while leaving.

But before Mr Fathan actually left, I had already called him and asked, “Pak, why do you care so much about me?”

He stopped his steps and said, “I myself also do not know the answer.”

After saying that, he immediately left me.

Meanwhile, I who was left alone by Mr. Fathan can only gawk while muttering, “How can you not know?! Isn't he the one who walked?!”

The next day where the campus event will start soon, I who took the stage was already getting ready by changing my clothes.

But at the same time, my phone suddenly rang. Since I was not focusing on the phone, I finally just lifted it and said, “Halo,”

“How was my gift the other day? Do you like it, my dear? That's the second one. There are two more I will give you. Hahaha.... Tut's..Tut's..Tut.”

Hearing that spontaneously I immediately felt shock. My body trembled and my vision somehow became blurred.

When my body was about to fall, suddenly someone bullied me so I didn't fall.

“Fir, what's wrong with you?” ask the man who turned out to be Mr. Fathan.

Hearing my words, Mr. Fathan immediately took my phone and sure enough, his phone number was hidden.

“Already... already.nih you drink first and try to calm yourself first,” said Mr. Fathan who happened to bring a bottle of mineral water.

Without waiting for long, I drank it and then said, “Thank you very much, sir. You brought me some drinking water.”

“Who will bring you a drink. That's my drink that I drank earlier,” chirps.

‘Uhuk..uk..'

“What did you say?! You just drank this too?” ask me and he nodded.

“Bapaaak! Why didn't you say?” my protest.

“Lha why should I say. Is there any fear if we drink from the same place?” ask him what pisses me off.

“Yes obviously, sir. This is called an indirect kiss. What is this father?” I don't dare to tell the truth.

Because Mr. Fathan is what makes me a little relaxed and can forget about what happened on the phone earlier.

After a while later, the stage was started and now it was my faculty turn to perform. With my heart beating, I tried to perform my role as best I could.

“Aaaaaah.. finally finished too,” said I who have not changed my stage clothes earlier.

“This,..” said Mr. Fathan gave me another bottle of drinking water, “good job.”

I also received the bottle but while asking, “This bottle of drinking water, the bottle that was not?”

“Hmm,” sahut short.

Knowing that, I also reflex immediately put the bottle back.

“Why put it? Are you not thirsty?” tanyakanya.

“Gak, Sir. I'm not thirsty. Dah ah's. I change clothes first,” I said trying to switch the conversation.

I don't know what's on Mr. Fathan's mind right now. But I really feel goosebumps if she acts like that to me.

When I was in the dressing room, suddenly a group of students came to me. I who felt that I had no business whatsoever became confused as to what they meant to come to me like this.

“What's up, yes?” my many.

“Alah. Don't act like you don't understand. Do you actually have anything to do with Mr Fathan?”

Hearing the question, suddenly made me realize that it turns out that my closeness that I consider to be ordinary actually even makes them suspicious.

“Oh. I have nothing to do with Mr. Fathan,” I said that I felt that I did not have any relationship.

“Long!”

“Cockwise. I'm really honest about what it is,” I said.

“If you have nothing to do with Mr Fathan, then why is Mr Fathan always concerned with you? I even saw for myself he gave the bottle the same lo.”

I was silent and didn't know how to explain it. There's no way I'm saying that I'm a coward and want to ask Mr. Fathan for protection. Later they even think more negatively.

“Kok lo diem. Means really donk if you have a relationship with Mr. Fathan.”

They suddenly approached me while I was standing. They made me step back and stick to the wall.

And at the same time, because it might wait too long, suddenly Mr. Fathan came and asked, “What are you guys doing here?”

Seriate...
