My Favorite You's

Graduations

Citra could not help but cheer when she saw her name was first on the exam results notice board. He who is usually in fifth position is now up first position, out as a general champion for his generation.

"Cieeee, congratulations." Lisna, Sari, Abu and Agus took turns congratulating him on what he achieved at this time. All of course thanks to his efforts and prayers that never break. He was determined to give the best for himself and of course his parents.

"Thank you, you guys are great too. Moreover, Abu, beuuhhh entered the top ten." Praise Citra sincerely while patting her best friend's shoulder with pride.

"Yoiii, Abuuu." Abu patted jumawa's chest.

"Don't be arrogant, the devil's friend." Sari reminded.

"Yes ah, I've been thankful for hin since." Said Abu flicking Sari's forehead. Their friendship is like this sometimes rame sometimes rese.

"So where are we today? What meatballs soto?" Agus interrupted. The hobby-eating guy always likes this kind of get-together especially with his accomplice.

"Bakso. But look for the one where you're gonna let's not freak out on the convoy." Imagery gives advice.

"Again.Definitely will be many other schools on the road. I'm afraid why, we don't wear uniforms." Added Lisna.

"So back home first?" Imagery ensures.

"Yes.His gathering point at the school gate let it be in the middle." Said Lisna again.

"okay." Everyone has agreed. Citra and friends then join forces with other hubbub to celebrate their happiness of finishing three years without anyone being left behind.

From a distance Mr. Arif noticed them. Beside him stood Mrs Wardah and Mr. Alfian.

"From the beginning I've been convinced of the image of an intelligent child. He wants to learn and his son never gives up." Praise Mr. Alfian for following Mr. Arif's gaze.

"Yes, although sometimes still like to be rushed and easily influenced." Timpal Bu Wardah did the same, highlighting the high school girl who had already managed to get the man she wanted.

"He's young and there's still a lot he can achieve with the potential he has." Alfian spoke again.

"What he decides now is still limited to the excitement of a teenage boy. In the future he may regret what he decided today." Connect Ms. Wardah. The two teachers seemed to deliberately provoke Mr. Arif to discuss their personal relationship issues.

Since the beginning Mr. Arif did not hide his interest in Citra in front of his colleagues. Since the incident of the uploaded photo, he has told them implied that he has a special relationship with one of his students. No wonder the parents know this. A news story has always spread so quickly but Mr. Arif has said firmly to the principal and other teachers that he will remain professional in carrying out his duties as a teacher. There is no special treatment for a Citra Jenaya except outside school and or outside school hours. To this day, he is able to maintain his profession even though he sometimes has to accept criticism from Citra.

"What do you think of Mr. Arif?" Mr. Alfian turned to Mr. Arif.

Mr. Arif put his shoulders together, "That's someone's personal business so I won't comment anything." she replied with a small smile. In the school he was only a teacher of a student named Citra Jenaya so there was no authority for him to comment on the affairs of his students. Another if outside of school, he is someone who has established the heart to have the girl completely, of course, he has a lot of time if he has to explain his opinion about this.

"Yes, you are always professional" said Mr. Alfian sarcas. Citra's beloved English teacher did not openly oppose the relationship between the two but it is quite apparent that he did not agree with Pak Arif's decision to marry Citra who had just graduated from school. According to Mr. Alfian, Citra has the potential to develop and become a successful person in the future. Too bad Mr. Alfian did not understand that compared to others, Mr. Arif was the one who most wanted Citra to be a useful person for many people.

Besides them, Ms. Wardah no longer commented. He had already lost so what else did he need to say. Now he only needs to strengthen his own heart when he sees his dream man with another girl.

The image had already sculpted itself once again in front of the mirror ensuring its appearance was neat. He is ready with the clothes of the earth girl who is viral at this time. After making sure there was nothing lacking and excess, he then clocked the bag and exited the room.

"Ma, Jena go first?" His appeal to the mama who was relaxed in the middle room.

"Yes. Tell Mr. Arif to drive carefully."

"Huh? Mr Arif?"

"Yes. In front of me is papi." Mother said.

"But right-" Citra stopped her saying.It is better to confirm it herself, "Assalamu'alaikum, Ma." she yelled at her mother and rushed out to check on her teacher.

"Papi-" Citra greeted her Papi while glancing at Mr. Arif who was ready with his casual clothes.

"Honey, this is Mr. Arif's been waiting for a long time." Said her Papa rubbing her daughter's head gently.

"Where are you going?" Ask Citra to the point. As he remembered he did not make a promise to his teacher to come out.

"Well, what kind of question is that? Yeah obviously go with you dong, Jen Ma'am." Papi answered his astonishment.

"I've got your friends' permission." Mr. Arif said without sin, "I can come, right?"

The image turned to his papa, asking for permission. Want as good as any of their neighbors, they still do not have a halal relationship, especially no Alul who is a third party. Mr. Arif clearly knows better.

"Can. Better to have someone take care of them." Papi.

The image turned back to Mr. Arif, "Father is not any way with us? We're together, we like to rest, sir." Citra reminds Mr. Arif that this road friend is a teenager who is definitely their destination besides eating yes hunting cool photo places.

"It's okay." Reply Mr. Arif kalem. It seemed that Citra had forgotten that this man in front of her was not a random man out there but her own teacher who was used to dealing with unstable children like them.

"Oh, jaudah." The image then says goodbye to his papi as well as Mr. Arif.

"Be careful." Shouted Papi as the two had already reached the gate.

Mr. Arif turned his head while nodding assent.

"So, is it really okay?" Ask Citra again make sure to Mr. Arif. Not that he was not happy that his teacher came along but he did not have the heart to let Mr. Arif feel bored or complicated with them later.

"It's okay, Jen." Said Mr. Arif opening the car door in front.

"I'm not behind, sir?" Usually if without Alul, he will be in the backseat if only the two Arif.

"It's full."

"Yes?" The image looked back, opened it and was surprised to find four of his friends there.

"Over the heat." Abu protested first.

The image looked at his friends in disbelief, "You guys from earlier? How can?"

Lisna and Sari chuckled.

"Pick up Mr. Arif." Lisna.

Image of closing mouth in disbelief. He turned to the man who was still faithfully holding the car door, "Father pick them up one?"

"Yes. Now, up!" The man said without saying much.

Citra. Really dong, this is their home in different directions all.

"Splash up. I'm hungry already." Said Agus who had since floundered comfortably in the back seat beside Abu.

The image shakes in disbelief. Turnip. Mr. Arif really sacrificed this for him.

Citra then went up to the front seat did not forget to say Thank her teacher for being kind enough to accompany them.
