Love Will Bring You Back

Love Will Bring You Back
S2.19. Despair



“Do not God insert hope not on fate and the future, but on the present moments in life—which is short, but evocative, may be beautiful.” (Gunawan Mohamad, Marginal Note 7)


 


"Have your sorrows awakened that I still have despair with you !


*****


Tuesday night at 18:30 the third guest lecturer assignment at STIE Putra Bangsa. He knew Amara more and more.  It turns out Amara is the owner of this campus. It was amazing that woman. Beautiful, smart, independent and rich. Is Jajang ?  No but what power that woman already had a lover. It feels like he has no chance to seduce her because the lover always picks her up every Tuesday when Jajang is present at this campus.


Jajang just came out of the toilet and passed Amara's open work room and he saw Amara was cleaning things on the table and turned her back to the door so as not to see that there was a man who was watching at the table outside door.


The man saw Amara tidying things up in such a hurry that his hand unconsciously nudged the glass filled with water that was thrown and Jajang tried to run because it was not far from the door . He ran towards the glass that Amara was nudging but his steps were lost quickly with the glass that fell to the floor and the water spilled.


"Mara ....


" Yes...  It looks like Amara is awake from her daydream.


"What is Amara... What can I do for you.. You look troubled?"


"it's okay .. I'm just careless. I'm sorry to surprise you... What are you doing in this room?"


"I just got out of the toilet and saw you were bothered and nudged a glass, so I ran here with the intention of saving a glass but my pace was less fast than a glass... it turns out that my floating science is no longer effective against glass anymore.."Said Jajang trying to be funny.


Amara laughed at Jajang's reply. In Amara's brain there was a little word to say to this man but he was held back and he smiled sweetly.


"Thank you Mr. Jajang for his good intentions.emh maaf tonight I have to go home rather quickly because there is a need at home.


"Emh... yourself? Not the same Fahri sir ?"


"Son, he's busy.


"Brave?" I want to take you but I still have the duty of the state.


"Thanks Mr. Jajang, "Amara replied with a very sincere smile. He felt Jajang comfort him.


"Be careful, I taught.


"OKAY. See you next month, "Say Amara again.


"Yes, "Jajang replied as he left Amara's room and headed for her.


When he entered the room, he saw his Assistant named Fabrian was tidying up a pile of student assignments and would submit a recap of the grades of his student duties.


“Goodnight Mr. Jajang…


“Night Fabrian...tasks you have checked, how is there something strange and need special assessment?”


“Aman pak Jajang, about duty ” ehmm PakJajang.. have heard Mr. Fahri has been relieved of his teaching duties at this campus and there are vacancies for business management lecturers sir... is there a good lecturer reference for teaching here sir? Yesterday's..


"Pak Fahri is not the lover of Amara's mother? "


"Wah it seems like you have not heard the latest news and are frenzied on campus that happened on this campus.


“What a great news Fab, .. I just came to this campus today and if calculated I just came three times, I just came,


how do you know the latest news here ? what about Mr Fahri? Break up with Amara's mother, "Search Jajang with curiosity.


“That's sir...... Amara's mother a week ago came to a student and grabbed her hair the same student because of this said the student you know sir .... it is suspected that the girlfriend of Amara's mother, Mr. Fahri, impregnated the student and was forbidden to be responsible for fear of being fired by Amara's mother. And the next day Mr. Fahri was fired with disrespect, and the worse is sir. all day again angry, because Ibu Amara has not received a substitute lecturer...  so we better not make trouble sir. I'm a little afraid we're angry too...


“Wah exciting also donk there is such an incident....sadly I did not see it happened... deservedly I saw Amara who used to be calm and good at acting can be careless... continue who replaced Pak Fahri?"


smile,.. It's beautiful, “Jawab honest fabrician.


Jajang smiled at Fabrian's confession. In his heart let alone the fabrician, he just wanted to be a guest lecturer because he was fascinated by the woman. This is an opportunity to approach the idol. I had to start fighting to get close to him. Is it your fault that Asaku has returned?

The ringing of the phone resuscitated Amara from her daydream in her room. He was surprised to see the name that contacted him on the screen was the man who had greeted him before returning home. No matter what, the man never contacted him. This must be important. It seems that if it is not important, it is impossible for Mr. Jajang to contact him late at night like this. Time shows at 22:15 WIB.


'Pak Jajang Calling.- The name on the screen is still listed and the ringing still sounds quite loud.


“Hello…. “ Amara replied gently.


“Hai... Good night Mother Amara..do I interrupt?” Am I disturbing your sleep?"


“No Mr Jajang ......what's the matter sir?” Was there a problem in my class so I called


I was in late at night like this?"


“Sorry I am not polite... are you okay?


“Means?”


“I've heard stories about you.. sorry I was so presumptuous ... but I really can't stand it...... I don't like to see you grieve ........ can I help you?”


“Huff... gossip quickly spreads.I am the unlucky one..let the Lord sometimes give hints that he is not my soul mate in a different way. Thank you Jajang for your attention. I'm not why-why.just a little tired because I have to find a substitute lecturer for Fahri who came out in the middle of college.


"Oh... has he got a replacement lecturer for Pak Fahri's class ?"


"It's already.today at eight o'clock last night new deal.so I was in a hurry to leave campus to meet a substitute lecturer.. her name is Ibu NIna from Esa Modern University who happened to have the right time with us.


"Oh ...sukurlah .. already there is a replacement for the substitute lecturer...emh can ask the others?"


"Ask what does Mr. Jajang mean ?'


"So for the replacement of Pak Fahri in the heart of Amara. , is there already?"


"Huh....mention Mr Jajang?'


"How about I propose to be Fahri's replacement in Amara's heart....... Is there still a chance to be your lover?"


Amara was surprised to hear Jajang's statement, how this is a man she just met and said she wanted to be her lover. He fell silent and was increasingly surprised to hear Jajang's next statement.


“ Amara .... What if I was your soul mate, would you step with me to the end of my life?'
