Miss of Sunday

A Day of Surprise

Sunday walks to class. College starts in 10 minutes. In the middle of his steps, his phone suddenly rang.

Faris Calling's...

"What's wrong?"

"It's okay. I just want to make sure your phone's active." Faris' voice sounded heavy typical wake up.

"You just woke up?"

"Yes." Yeah." Answer Faris flat

"Oh my God, what time is it and you just woke up?"

"Hey, I just arrived yesterday. I have to travel from abroad so I'm still tired."

"Your reason is. The Philippines-Indonesia is very close."

"It's still a trip between countries."

"As you are." Sunday was lazy to argue again.

"Oh yeah, what's calling me?"

"Nothing, I just want to hear your voice."

"You're really lacking a job."

"I've told you that on vacation I've always been short of work so I've always loved working on you." Faris' voice chuckled across there.

"Hey, it's delicious. What do you think I am?"

"I think you're my girlfriend so I'll handle you as I like."

"Oh that's it.. So you pretended to be dating me so you could prank me?"

"Yes, it's both wrong."

"One of them?"

"Points will be reduced by 10." Faris still replied casually at the end there.

"You think this is a school exam?" Faris laughing.

"Basic!!! Just find another girl. I stopped here."

"can't. I want you."

"But I don't want to."

"Whatever, what matters is that I want. You're the right man."

"Then Suzan or Windy. They are also students." Bujuk.

"No, they're not my type."

"Do you pretend there must be a type?"

"Of course, Papi and Mami wouldn't believe they were my girlfriends if they weren't the kind of girl I liked."

The logic of Sunday defines Faris as follows: Sunday is the type of girl that Faris likes.

Realizing that subconsciously her smile expanded. Her cheeks must be blushing now.

"Then you have to be nice to me if you still want me to help you with your cipher."

"Have I been bad all this time? Even though I prank you I fucked up in a good way."

"Oh yeah? What good way? Suddenly calling me like this for no apparent reason you said well?"

"Hey, my reasons are very clear. I want to hear your voice. I want to start my day with something beautiful. And calling you is one of them."

Suddenly the heart of Sunday was tingling. Cenat cenut forms the rhythm of a song sung by Smash.

"You're this rather than rummaging it's not clear it's better to take a shower there."

"Why? Did you hear my appeal your heart got excited?"

"No, not at all." Sunday lied of course. Ever since he picked up the phone, his heart warmed to hear Faris's voice.

"Oh yeah? But I think now you're smiling shyly there."

"It's just your imagination." Sunday was really anxious Faris always teased him.

"really? But I'm sure that not a single girl can resist my appeal. They'll melt in place even just because I smiled at him."

"Oh.. I'm so lazy to hear your accent." Sunday complained

"Of course, I'll go to class. Hang up the phone."

"Alright, don't forget to always think of me and miss me."

"don't want. That's not possible for me to do."

"Then I'll hypnotize you. From now on you will think of me and your days are full of everything about me."

"You're just there. You don't deserve to be a mentalist." Sunday chuckles.

"We'll see if it works or not."

"Huh, it's been. I've arrived at my class."

"Okay, I'm gonna keep yelling at you by swirling around in your mind."

"Hey, already. Hang up the phone."

"Yes. yeah.. okay." He could still faintly hear his laughter as Faris then hung up. Sunday then entered the class. All his friends were in class and just waiting for the lecturer. Sunday sat on the side of the Windy. Suzan is next to the window.

A few minutes passed from the school hours. The lecturer has not yet arrived. Today is a lecture that will be filled by a substitute lecturer. Lecturers previously had to study abroad so they will be replaced by other lecturers.

"You know who the replacement lecturer is this time?" Ask Suzan.

"Not knowing." Answer Sunday and Windy together.

"Do you know?" Ask Windy.

"If I ask you that means I don't know. How the hell are you. I'm not giving you a guess." Nurse Suzan. Windy grinned. Then from the direction of the door someone entered the classroom.

"Good morning, mmm. mornin' almost noon." Said someone strongly suspected of being the substitute lecturer."

"Morning..." Answer almost the class.

"Yes right, as you think. I am a substitute lecturer for the Web 2 Programming course. And I'm sure you all know me very well, I shouldn't introduce myself." The new teacher said with a smile.

"It must be an introduction dong, sir. We will meet at different occasions with different interests." Chirps Suzan.

"Oh so. Well then even if you know enough, I will introduce myself as Victor Abisatya Handoyo. Just call me Victor. I'm still single..."

"Huuuu..." After the word single, the contents of the room became boisterous. Victor smiled broadly at the reaction of his students. Sunday was still stunned to see Victor suddenly standing in front of him and now was the lecturer who filled his lecture.

Yeah right, just like that. Batin Sunday's.

His friends are still boisterous to reply to each other comments with Victor who is now a lecturer. Act as if Victor is a new lecturer who they are also new to. Victor who was not good at talking in front of the crowd was a bit nervous but so far he covered it with a smile on the sidelines answering the questions of his students who sometimes had a bad tone.

🌸🌸🌸

Today's lecture closes Victor with his first assignment. After that he left the class followed by the student behind him who also started out.

"You really didn't know Victor was a substitute lecturer?" Suzan curious.

"No, I don't know."

"But you see him almost every day in the lab."

"Yes, but he never expressed his intention to become a lecturer. You know, he's a little secretive. So I'm not very familiar with him."

"Not familiar but say love?" Suzan Cibir.

"Ehh, koq you know about that?" Sunday looked at Windy. Windy immediately put on a big smile while showing the symbol of two fingers sign of peace to Sunday.

"I just can't stand to share." Windy whiny.

"I also deserve to know." Suzan pouted as it seemed like Sunday was keeping it a secret from her.

"Not so, I mean I haven't had time to tell you because we're so busy, right."

"We? Just you." Suzan pouted.

"Come on. I didn't mean that."

"Not what do you mean?"

"I'm not going to keep anything from you. It's just that I haven't had time." Sunday hugged Suzan's shoulder.

"Come on, you look so pretty when you're mad like this. It makes me fall more in love with you." Bisik Sunday while leaning his head on Suzan who was still hugged his shoulder. But then Suzan pushed Sunday away. Windy who saw that just smiled. Both of his friends are funny.

"You think I'm your lesbian partner. That's so disgusting, you know." Sunday then chuckled to see Suzan who was shuddering.

"Eh but, if Victor. Oh I mean Mr. Victor is now leveling up to become a lecturer, then who's his replacement lab?"

"Several of these days the laborers are the labors of the law lab."

"Oh, is that it?"

"Hmmm..."

"Let's get back to the original topic." Suzan approached Suday again.

"Then how are you with Victor?"

"How's what?"

"Have you given your answer?"

"Not yet, I haven't received the answer sheet."

"Ahh you are." Suzan patted Sunday's shoulder. Sunday pretended to complain to his shoulder that did not hurt.

"So you haven't given any answers to Mr Victor?"

"How do I give an answer that we haven't even met since she expressed her feelings. The first time I met him again was during class. I gave my answer in class. You want me to go viral because of that?" Sunday shrank the volume of his voice as they were now in a crowded area, the loby of the engineering faculty.

"You know we have a vlogger in class."

"Yes, Doni." Answer Suzan. Windy is busy with his phone. It looks like he's having a chat.

"Well, if until the incident, tomorrow I can be sure my face is plastered on youtube and will have a viewer that is part of our campus citizens. Can be***** I'm suddenly a youtube artist."

"Yes, let's stop that absurd imagination of yours. I just want to know exactly how you feel about Victor?"

"What feeling? I never did..." Not continuing his sentence, Sunday was fixated on someone standing alone in front of the lobby. It was like he knew the girl.

"Before, I'll go there first."

"Where?" Sunday did not answer. He just went to the front of the loby. Suzan who was sitting on a long bench under the loby stairs her gaze followed the direction Sunday went. Windy too.

"Where is he going?" Suzan shrugged her shoulders.

"Sister Rima..." Sapa Sunday's. Rima turned her body and was surprised to see Sunday nearby.

"Su-sunday's? You went to college here?" Rima looked shocked and a little nervous.

"Yes..." Answer Sunday and only he will ask about the interests of Rima on the campus, Mr. Herman approached him.

"Come..." Take Mr. Herman who immediately took Rima's hand. But then he turned to Sunday who was standing beside Rima.

"Oh Sunday." Realizing Rima and Sunday were seen together, Mr. Herman made sure.

"You know each other?"

"Yes." Yeah." Answer Sunday. Rima was silent.

"It's a coincidence. Where do you know?"

"He's. Faris' friend." Answer Rima.

"really? Wow what a coincidence. Oh, I know, I met him here and he said he was waiting for his girlfriend. Is that you meant?" Mr. Herman smiled broadly a little teasingly.

"Ahh, no. It's not. We're just friends." Sunday denied.

"So, Mr. Herman and Mr. Rima can be together here because..." Frankly Sunday was very curious about the two of them. When taking Rima earlier how can Mr. Herman directly hold his hand. Can a friend get that close?

"He's my fiance."

"Oh yeah???" Sunday was surprised until he realized to raise the volume of his voice and make some people around him who were passing so turned to look for the source of the sound. Rima looked down her face.

"Well, congratulations, sir."

"Congratulations?" Herman was surprised by Sunday's behavior.

"Congratulations on your engagement."

"Infederation? It's our second year as fiancees."

"really? I thought you guys were just getting engaged." Sunday glanced sharply at Rima whose face was already pale. Sunday is like asking for an explanation for what Rima and Faris have been doing all along.

Wasn't that time Faris asked her to be a pretend boyfriend because to refuse her match with Rima? Then if Rima had been engaged to Herman for 2 years, how could Faris and Rima be engaged? Sunday was really thinking hard about it and it seemed like Rima was aware of it.

"Alright, Sun. We go first, yeah..." Pamit Rima who immediately pulled Herman away from that place. Sunday nodded. But what he caught from Rima's face was that he wanted to avoid Sunday.

What the hell is going on? Rima is Mr. Herman's fiancee. But Faris said at the time... Then what is true? Why is this so confusing?

Sunday felt like he had to ask Faris. Must. He needs to know about what really happened. Or he'll be a fool between Faris and Rima.

Sunday dialed Faris's number but the tone on his phone connection was busy. Sunday tried again and it remains the same. He really couldn't stand it and was eager to get Faris's explanation of the 'surprise' that Rima brought for him today.
