My Brother's Friend
There's no need to be afraid



"Good morning everyone, let's start today's lesson" after putting the book on Mr.'s desk. J then began the first lesson of the day, painstakingly he began to explain the mathematics lesson.


The most horrifying and haunted lesson I had ever felt, I felt a little frustrated when I started this lesson, but luckily, the Teacher who taught was so unsightly that it made me understand it a little.


I then began to remember everything I went through with him, from his attention to his alertness in every difficulty I faced.


A smile was engraved on my lips as I continued to stare at a Master who was now scratching black on the white board.


"Eh, Julia. Stop smiling to yourself, long can dry the teeth" Syafa put his book right in front of my mouth


I turned towards him with a sharp gaze, "Basic, the destroyer of people's happiness!" then I and Shafa laughed and hid behind the book of Shafa.


The lesson is over, Mr. A did not go straight out of the classroom as usual but he again stood in front of the blackboard.


"Please all attention," all of them fell silent and immediately stared towards the source of the sound,


"Today is the last day I teach you all, because Mr. Doris is back to health and in connection with that, I as a temporary substitute Teacher, from today cannot teach you. Sorry if while I'm here you guys are uncomfortable with all the ways I teach and my attitude" explained Mr. J, but got rejection from all students who were in this class.


I listened to him feeling surprised, I don't if today is the last day I see him in front of the class. Yes, even though I can still meet him out there.


"Don't go, Mr. J. I'm powerless without you!" Said one schoolgirl and was immediately stormed and received boisterous cheers by the others.


"Yes, Mr. J"


"Yes, don't go. We would prefer if the one who teaches mathematics is Mr. J" said the others alternately.


I do not express opinions like others, because I have promised him, even though we know more than a Master and a disciple but do not go beyond the limits when we are in class.


And Mr. J also once asked me, do not get too close to him while in the school environment so as not to cause unwanted things. I do


My originally crisp face now turned sullen when I heard that,


"Don't be too sad, can't you see her whenever you want?" Syafa tried to comfort me who was now feeling a little disappointed.


"I wish that Mr. Doris is back sick and Mr. J is again teaching here" I said softly whispering in Syafa's ear.


"Don't be crazy" and we laughed again.


"Thank you all for accepting me, but I'm sorry, I'm only here as a substitute Master and have to leave after the original Master has returned. Study diligently, remember soon you will graduate and you must be able to graduate with satisfactory grades!" continued Mr. J then passed away from the class,


There was a sense of unwillingness, not just from me but from all of them. Because honestly, as long as Mr. A teaching in this horror class, the grades of all the students there have been an increase and we have all become more orderly than usual.


But everything has to keep going, that unwillingness we have to get used to because from the beginning we knew if Mr. J is just a replacement for Mr. Doris. And when Mr. Doris a then Mr. J also has to go.

This afternoon Syafa's father suddenly contacted Bang Reza and asked to meet. And then they agreed to meet at a small cafe not far from our house.


The mini malis cafe is painted brown and, glass-walled and is right at the intersection of the highway.


The two of them sat facing each other, in front of them were presented with two glasses of orange juice that had been ordered by Mr. Burhan.


"Yong, Reza. Thank God Om is good, how do you yourself, have you recovered?" om Burhan on Bang Reza


"Alhamdulillah, Om. I have recovered. Oh yeah, is there anything important to the point that Om asked me to see Om?" ask Bang Reza then


Mr. Burhan confirmed his sitting position, the man wearing the office suit shifted his seat closer towards Bang Reza.


"Do you really like Syafa?" ask him directly without further ado


Bang Reza was a little surprised, he did not think that in the end Mr. Burhan knew his relationship with Syafa, there was a panic in Bang Reza's heart because he knew that Syafa was not allowed to date before graduating from school


"There is no need to be nervous like that, Om already knows everything" continued Mr. Burhan casually, and from there Bang Reza felt a little relieved.


He had thought nothing of it before, he had thought that Mr. Burhan would be angry and asked him to leave Syafa.


"I-yes, Om" replied Bang Reza stuttering


Mr. Burhan laughed instead, "Not to be afraid, Om bless you"


The answer from Mr. Burhan really made Bang Reza like flying, the impossible thing he thought was now a reality and in the end ended with a happy thing.


"I mean, Om?" Bang Reza make sure


"Yes, Om bless you. Although at first, Om did forbid Syafa to date before he graduated from school, but after Om found out he was dating you, Om did not mind because Om knew what you were like, what's more we've been close a long time, haven't we?" Mr. Burhan continued at length,


Bang Reza was increasingly relieved, the burden in his heart was gone and vanished after hearing the explanation from Mr. Burhan, finally the love he had fought for so far materialized and even had gotten blessing.


"Thank you, Om. I promise to take good care of Syafa!" Bang Reza hugged Mr. Burhan because of his spirit, Mr. Burhan also returned the hug but with a different face, between happy and cynical.


"Sama-sama, but there is one condition that you must meet if indeed you really like princess Om"


"Terms, what condition is Om?" Bang Reza is now confused


"If you're really serious about Syafa, then you should get engaged as soon as possible" Mr. Burhan mentioned the conditions.


Bang Reza was again surprised for the third time. He did not think that behind the ability of Mr. Burhan to allow his daughter to date has a condition that he must meet, he said,


He knows that condition is a proof of the seriousness of his love, but it is not that too rushed, Syafa himself is still in school. What do they all say when they know this, and what the school will silence them.
