Single-minded

Idol Lecturer

"Assalammualaikum, good morning everyone!" greet Arif in front of the classroom.

The students' voices stopped. When Arif Al Hakim, a lecturer in language education entered the classroom. Almost all the students were amazed to look at the lecturer who was very young. Vira and Fariz are no exception. Both the eyeballs of Vira and Fariz seemed to want to jump out of place.

Vira was so surprised and never expected. Ustad Arif is known to be very friendly in its environment. None other than one of the lecturers on the campus. Even being a teacher in his class. Fariz was both shocked and worried. When he sees the most powerful candidate getting the love of Vira. Become the lecturer who taught him and Vira. He will automatically have plenty of time and opportunities with Vira. Fariz could not imagine. His struggle over the years was lost by his own teaching lecturers.

"Glamma!" sahut the students simultaneously. Arif nodded slowly, then briefly circulated his gaze throughout the classroom. He caught the one figure that these few days had always met him. It just so happened that Vira was sitting in the middle right in line with Arif standing.

Arif walked forward to the front of the class. He stood in front of the blackboard. Arif wrote his name on the board. As an early introduction to his students. Arif's friendly attitude makes it easy to get along with anyone? But he always keeps boundaries with the non-mukhrim. The principle that Arif always holds firm.

"Include my name Arif Al Hakim, call me Mr. Arif. If you meet me outside of college. Please call me Arif or Arif. I will only teach one subject, language. I happened to speak a few languages!" atif explained, all students nodded in understanding.

It was seen that some female students were propping up their chin with their hands. They stared fixedly at Arif the young lecturer. Not just female students. Some male students praised Arif's good looks and cleverness. Minus glasses are attached to both beautiful eyes. As if showing the cleverness of the lecturer. As well as Arif's casual appearance, but neat and polite. Adding an indisputable aura of good looks. But among their admiration of the figure of the lecturer. Only Vira and Fariz seemed indifferent, even very indifferent to the good looks of the lecturer.

"Sir Arif, is married yet? If it is alhamdulillah. Because we still have a chance, not to be single!" yelled Strongly Fariz's friend. One class screamed at the question of unwavering weight.

Arif just smiled hearing the same question almost in all classes. Even where does he exist? There were always questions about his status. Sometimes Arif feels bored, but over time Arif began to get used to it. He was already indifferent, even indifferent to the question of status. A status that was awaited by both parents.

"I'm not married!" arif answered briefly, the students shouted happily. The female students were happy. Hope there's a chance to be Arif's life partner. The male students felt sad. Because automatically Arif will become an idol. As well as their rivals. Including Fariz's rival getting Vira's love.

After the introduction was over, Arif started his lesson. All the students started to look lethargic. Because language lessons. It is always a boring subject and tends to be less enjoyed. But the reality is different from the Arif class. The learning method of Arif is different. He did not use a one-way, but two-way method. That is, he not only conveys material, but receives material from students. Arif also uses digital tools that tend to be the basic needs of its students.

Almost two hours Arif taught in Vira's class. A boring time ends full of joy. The students seemed to enjoy the way the material is presented Arif. Maybe the age is not too far away. Making them easily accept the materials that Arif provided. All the students felt disappointed, when the bell rang indicating the Arif material clock was completed.

"Vira Azza Ifatunnisa, can I have a minute!" call Arif lirih, just as Vira passed him. Arif did not come out immediately after hearing the sound of a bell ringing. He stared at all the books he was carrying. Arif waited for Vira to leave the classroom. There's something Arif wants to give Vira.

Vira stopped her steps, shortly after hearing Arif calling her. He stood a little away from Arif. He does not want any slander spread on campus. Enough for him gossip circulating in his home environment. Didn't want Vira to have any more bad gossip between her and Arif. Especially on campus Arif became the idol of students. Very unlikely, if Vira too close to the handsome lecturer.

"Can I help you?" suhut Vira was friendly, Arif nodded at Vira's question. Although a nod of his head would never be able to see Vira.

Not a second did Vira raise her head. He did not look at Arif. Vira has great respect for Arif, as a lecturer and ustad in his environment. As someone with a higher religion. Vira feels worthy to honor Arif. Vira's polite attitude did not offend Arif. In fact, there is a sense of confidence, if Vira is an unusual woman.

"This is an invitation from the mosque in the city. There will be a grand study. Maybe you can come. There will also be social service for orphans and widows. Our environment is also involved. Maybe you have some free time. Could help us the committee!" said Arif Lirih, Vira took the invitation that Arif put on the table right in front of Vira.

Seeing the attitude of Vira who keeps her distance. Arif began to understand, if Vira did not want to be touched or touched that is not true. Vira opens the invitation that Arif gave. He saw the time. Vira is ready to answer Vira's request.

"I can't promise to attend. There are other obligations I have to work on. If all my obligations are completed. I will gladly come. So you should ask for help from others. My presence may be only as a study participant. Again I'm sorry!" vira said, Arif nodded in understanding.

Atif understands how heavy the burden of Vira's life is. It would be inappropriate for Arif to force Vira to accept his invitation by neglecting her duties as a child.

"There is no compulsion in this invitation. Thanks again for the time. But I was hoping to see you among the study participants tonight!" arif said, Vira nodded. Then leave to get out of the classroom.

"An unusual woman, a teacher who will lead the priest's hand to HIS jannah. Whoever your imam will be? May you be happy with me!" arif Gumam.
