My Love Teacher's

Rise up my Son

"Yes ma'am." answered Cyra. Mom immediately hugged Cyra the only child. They sniffled together. Dad tried hard after hearing the story from his son. And they hugged together.

"I'm dirty mom! I'm dirty dad!"

"No son, you're not dirty at all. Don't say it like that. In our eyes you remain our good son, the holy, the clean. You're our darling." said the mother, wiping away the tears that fell on Cyra's cheek.

"What your mother said. You're still the source of our happiness."

"Well how about my future father, who wants to be with a girl who is no longer holy mother."

"Cyra you don't have to worry, we leave everything to God. Your chastity is taken away by coercion not your own will. If a man loves you sincerely he will not care about your past. He will accept you for who you are." replied the mother.

"I'm sorry dad, I'm sorry mom. It's disappointing you."

"No son, you're not guilty at all. What's wrong is that you and your mom don't pay attention to you, let you wander off to make money for us."

"Cyra, what about Mr Aroon?"

"He repeatedly apologized and felt very guilty. But I'm still traumatized to be close to him. So I asked to go back to Surabaya. I need time to calm my heart and mind."

"Son, don't blame Mr. Aroon too much. He himself was also unconscious, that was not his will. We know he's a very good man. That criminal is playing you. I'm sure they'll get a fair reply."

"What your mother said was true Cyra. The only way to calm our hearts is to learn to forgive, sincerely accept this as part of our journey." - Cyra. "Dad knows this must feel heavy, so let go of all the burdens. If you want to quit your job and return to Surabaya we're fine, if you decide to continue working together with Mr. Aroon we'll also support all your decisions."

"Peace your mind here." continued the mother. "Mom knows you're strong against all this. We'll always support you and help you get rid of your trauma."

"Thank you, mom."

"Cyra you must rise from this fall. Back as cheerful and strong as ever."

"I'll try for you guys."

The three of them hugged. The heavy burden that was on Cyra's mind instantly became light. That burden has been eroded by the support his parents always provide. He started to smile again. All of this requires a process. Forgetting is not possible but he can forgive and be friendly with circumstances.

"What are you going to do after this?" ask dad.

"I will enjoy my time with you. And I haven't thought about whether or not I'm going back to teaching."

"Think well - well Cyra. There's no need to rush, because it's about your future."

"Every father's mother."

🍀🍀🍀🍀

It's been almost a week that Cyra has been at her parents' house. He started smiling and it was all because of his parents' support.

"Where are you going to shower in the morning?" ask mom

"You go to the village."

"Tumben, what do you want?"

"There was a visit from abroad, said Pak Lurah want a comparative study of the problem of corn planting system here. So I'm asked to help as a translator."

"Well, what's the reverse of that? The country is more advanced."

"No ma'am, we export the plantation abroad good lo."

"Early, I don't know."

"We must be grateful, because plantations in Indonesia are widely recognized as developed by other countries."

"Yes you have gone there."

"I'm leaving first, ma'am." Cyra kisses both of mom's cheeks. Hurry up to pick up the bike and pedal it to the village hall office.

Mom continues her work in the kitchen. He and his father were preparing fertilizer to be brought to the rice field. Their work stopped because of the knocking on the door.

"Well, looks like there's a guest."

Dad stopped his activities. "Ah there is none. I didn't hear what it was, ma'am."

"There sir. I heard it clearly."

"Yes there you see first to be sure."

"All right, I'll stay, sir." Mother walked towards the front and was surprised who came with her. "Mr Aroon?"

"Good morning ma'am?'

"Morning. Let's sit down." Mom looked stammered because she did not expect Aroon would come to Surabaya. "Hmmm.. I call you father first." mom went inside and went to see you.

"Who's the guest?"

"Mr Aroon."

"Huh, Mr Aroon? Why is he here, Mom? Cyra just calmed down."

Father and mother immediately went out to see Mr. Aroon. Father's expression was not as usual whereas mother became a bit awkward after what she had done to Cyra. They had been silent for a while, confused with each other's thoughts, until Aroon opened the conversation.

"I'm looking for Cyra."

"He's in the house." replied the father.

"Can I talk to you for a second?"

"For what sir, Cyra has calmed down."

"Mom and Dad knew about the incident?"

"Know. Cyra told me. Although it is not entirely the fault of the master, but I as a parent feel sad because of the journey of my son's life." father explained at length. While the mother chose silence, if she joined in talking, all that came out was the sound of crying.

"I'm really sorry sir, ma'am." said Aroon, looking serious from the look in his eyes. "I've neglected to look after Cyra."

Dad took a deep breath. "What does Mr. Aroon want with my son? He is currently recovering his mentality."

"I know, Cyra needs a lot of time to accept this situation. I just want to see how things are. Frankly Gio misses her a lot."

"Cyra we gave her a choice. To keep working on the master or to choose to stop. But until now he has not given an answer."

"Stopped? Why?"

"Well, if Cyra still feels traumatized by you then quitting this job is the best way. Moreover, where can I let him work in a place that already endangers him."

"I promise I'll take care of her."

"How will you look after him. Many have to pay attention, the master workers are also many, affairs and even the enemies of the master are also many."

"My brother promised I'd be extra guarding Cyra." Aroon tries to convince Cyra's parents. "Oh, what about my son? He's close."

"I hope you're not selfish. Sir attaches importance to the interests of your son as well as to me. Whatever I do for my son." said the father. Mom held dad's hand because the tone of dad had gone up.

Aroon. In his heart he justifies the words of father. Which parent could see their child's future ruined.

"I'll be responsible?"

"In charge? Responsible how do you mean?'

"I.. I'll___."

"The master himself is confused by the words of his own master."

"Mr Aroon, give Cyra a little time. He himself will give the answer to you." Mother began to speak. "Now it's better for you to go home."

Aroon was still silent, he understood the change in attitude of Cyra's parents. And finally he decided to leave. "Alright sir, ma'am I'll go home. Please send Gio a greeting for Cyra." Aroon got up from his seat and went outside.

"So what was it, we're not outrageous?" ask mom worried.

"Yes not to mom. We're defending Cyra lest she get hurt working there." replied Dad. "Let's continue our work."

🍀🍀🍀🍀

Before Aroon goes home, he wants to see Cyra and make sure he's okay. Although he really misses his joy. He decided to go to the village hall where Cyra went according to the statement from his father.

He saw a lot of people there. It turns out that many residents who want to shake hands even take pictures with bule - bule.

"Excuse me did you see Cyra?"

"Oh Cyra's. There was." replied the woman, looking for Cyra. "Eh mas this bule too huh. Request a photo of dong.'

"No, I'm the only one here."

"Oh, that's good-looking."

"Hmmm then excuse me."

"Eh, I asked the father, Cyra was standing next to him."

"Thank you." Aroon went to approach the man. "Sorry do you know where Cyra is?"

"Cyras? oh yeah, yeah, he came home, he said he wanted to go to the river."

"Thank you." Aroon left the crowd and went to the river.

Between the village hall with a fairly close river only about fifteen minutes if you ride a vehicle. Not long after Aroon got there, he saw Cyra's usual bicycle parked there and also a motorcycle that belongs to whom. Aroon got out of the car and closed the door with heart.

He walked with a sense of uncertainty and a little doubt, but curiosity, longing who wanted to see his condition beat everything.

But how surprised when there he saw Cyra was not alone. He sat there talking and laughing with people he knew. It was Aryo son of Sapto sir who will be betrothed to Cyra.

Damnit damnit! why am I so angry at the closeness of the two of them! aroon in the Heart. His clenched hands tightly held back the emotions. Finally he immediately left the place by swallowing a bitter pill. That Cyra turns out to be kind - kind and has absolutely no memory of him and Gio
