Skylar And The Lecturer

Skylar And The Lecturer
39



"Gue doesn't have a lot of chances to make you happy, but I'm sure Mr. Teon who has been the last choice you will be able to do it."


Skylar was stunned to hear Jeffrey's soft voice coming out, for some reason it sounded so painful this time that the girl was unable to stem her tears again.


Drop by drop Skylar's falling tears made his narrow shoulders tremble faintly, being struck by the wounded feeling that now resounded so viciously in his mind.


"I'm sorry" Skylar's great-grandson, didn't dare look at Jeffrey.


"This is entirely my fault for not telling the same truth you. now you do not need to think about my feelings, mending the same focus of your marriage plan with Mr. Teon," said Jeffrey steady, said, erasing the trace of her tears with the back of her hand. "remember, the main thing is your happiness, Wendelline Skylar."


Then she nodded to the girl.


"but I'm also wrong because I always assume what you say is just a joke."


Jeffrey gently broke Skylar's head, smiling shadyly at the air.


"already, forget all that.lo have big goals that you have to do in the near future, I'm sure Mr. Teon is a much better choice than me."


"Lo deserves to be happy, Skylar. Anything or anyone who wants to ruin your happiness will deal with me just calm down."


"Thank you very much, Jeffrey."


"Gue just did what I was supposed to do. Yeah let me drive you home."


Skylar wiped away a trace of her tears using a handkerchief, smiling faintly at Jeffrey's helping hand - a friend she has loved so much over the past few years.


The two stepped parallel through the corridor of medical faculty that was already deserted, passing in opposite directions with the sun that had changed color to orange.


"If later Teon dare to insolent hurt your heart or physical lo, he will directly face me in the front guard. lo never mind telling me anything that becomes difficult for you in the future."


"Actually I once thought that we could get married, Jeff."


"But why not be?"


"The wrong one is not to marry me first!"


"Hahaha asem lo!"


Both stopped in the parking lot right in front of Jeffrey's motor sport made Skylar look at the adam suspiciously.


"Lo no intention to push me ngedrift right?" skylar's probing.


Jeffrey's laughter explodes, then thrusts a black helmet at Skylar.


"gue reckon we have to shift one more time before you officially become someone's wife."


"haha not sane lo," said Skylar accompanied by laughter.


Yes, it seems like Jeffrey's words have a point too - he should spend more time with his best friend before officially getting married to Teon in the near future.

"Where did you come home at this hour?"


Skylar shrugged both of his shoulders indifferently, walking past the figure of the man who raised the question to him as if he had not heard and seen anyone.


Feeling neglected, the man sharpened his gaze to Skylar, repeating his question.


"i ask you where, Wendelline Skylar."


The girl turned around, looking at her interlocutor fiercely.


Without waiting for his opponent's response, Skylar stepped with a thumping step towards his room not caring even though the man called out his name many times.


"Are you sure you'll still marry my stubborn daughter?" papa Lucas asked the observer calmly as he grabbed a porcelain glass filled with warm oolong tea on the table.


Teon let out a long sigh. "want how else, in this case I'm wrong it's natural that he gets so upset."


Papa Lucas chuckled. "you must get used to his irritable nature, my son is not good at expressing his regret other than by being silent."


"As long as I knew Skylar I had never seen him cursing at others even just cursing even though I knew he was upset" Teon said.


"i completely forgot to tell Skylar until he finally waited until the afternoon, how could I forget such an important thing?"


Papa Lucas's hand stretched out, giving Teon a glass of porcelain filled with warm oolong tea, "drink first you must be tired and stressed, you can persuade Skylar later."


Teon smiled faintly. "thank you, Papa."


Two men of different ages then chatted about various things while sipping tea each.


"What made you choose my son?" papa Lucas asked calmly, looking at Teon for an honest answer.


Teon pulled both corners of his lips, looking at Papa Lucas with a calm look full of affirmation.


"He's already stolen my heart, love doesn't need any special reason I think. if I love Skylar because something is clear it's not a sincere love."


"I'll just let my son choose a man who loves him sincerely."


"Of course I know, Skylar is a good girl who deserves to get a matching life companion even better."


Teon sipped his tea to the toilet.


"it's better if Papa asks Skylar if she's sure she's willing to marry me."


"Why do you doubt my decision?"


Skylar walked down from his room, looking at Teon nyalang demanding an answer from the man.


"I don't hesitate in the slightest to marry you, but I have to know if you're really ready to marry me or not" Teon replied.


Skylar held a cross. "but why do you always piss me off?"


Papa Lucas took his daughter to sit next to him, trying to persuade the girl to speak with a cold head.


"Listen to your future husband calmly, son. Marriage is not just about whose ego is right and who is wrong.it's what you have to remember well," said Papa Lucas.


Skylar leaned his narrow back against the back of the sofa. "then try to explain everything to me."


"I got an offer from the university rector to become the new dean for the next five years, which made me have to attend meetings longer. I'm so sorry for forgetting to tell you," teon explained the chronology that took place from noon to afternoon honestly to Skylar and Papa Lucas - even though Papa Lucas actually knew from the university rector about the incident.


Skylar said, "your job is more important than mine?"


"Darling, without working I could probably finance our lives later so I obviously have to keep working anyway."


Papa Lucas smiled proudly at Teon's words. "you sure will let go of a responsible man like Teon, son?"


"Huh, yes, that's it," the girl let out a short sigh.


"i'll forgive you if you go home soon and rest."
