TANTRIC

Chapter 1

“You should know enough that your position is inappropriate for my daughter!” Firmly Prof. Wondo with a straight look looked at the building in front of him.

“Sightliness alone is not enough to make a household happy. Unfortunately my daughter was not aware of it! He's too fascinated by you!” The middle-aged man continued without looking at the handsome young man who was his interlocutor.

“I want to see my daughter soon marry an established and responsible man. After graduation, my daughter will continue her career in a large company. If you are a man who has self-esteem, you should be embarrassed because of the position of your partner who has a steady income and an established career. While you? Still a medical student!”

Said Prof. This Wondo further made Tantra's heart rumble. Wanting to ignore the words of his Great Master but he did not deny that the speech was enough to make his mental drop. 

Tantra tried to muster up the courage to reply to the speech of the middle-aged man before her. “I promise I will realize Masyita's dream. Become a doctor according to what your daughter asks. I promise I will make her happy.”

“When?” Lugas Prof's. Wondo´s.

“I need certainty for my daughter! Not a promise let alone wishful thinking!” Without waiting for Tantra's answer, the Professor of the Faculty of Medicine who served as Director of the largest Regional Hospital stepped away from Tantra which stood alone in the corridor of the Auditorium room where the graduation ceremony took place. 

Tantra took a deep breath.

Deep enough to fill his chest that had felt crowded because of the heavy chatter he had with the father of his beloved.

“Dor!”

Tantra was stunned as the voice of a girl shocked her.

“Kok daydreaming? Think what the hell?” Ask Masyita. A beautiful girl who is being fought by Tantra.

“Thinking you!” Answer Tantra flat.

“Dih, Kombal!” Masyita thought that Tantric speech was seduction.

Tantra smiled at the girl. It is not until the heart if Masyita to find out that her father does not approve of their relationship.

“Come mas, already awaited Mama with Papa tuh.” Masyita pointed with an eye toward her parents who were preparing for the car.

“Where are you?” Ask Tantra.

“Studio Photo! After that, go to the restaurant. Papa wants to celebrate my graduation with a dinner. C'mon mas! Don't make Papa wait any longer.” Masyita pulls Tantra's arm to approach her parents.

Tantra followed Masyita. Looking closely at the beautiful girl who is graceful wearing a kebaya covered in toga graduation clothes walking in front of her.

Upon arrival in the car, Masyita went straight in and sat down at the wheel.

Profs. Wondo was standing next to the car. As if preparing to stab Tantra with his statement again.

"Humping?" Ask Prof. Wondo´s. 

The middle-aged man handed the car keys to Tantra.

"People who hitchhike must know enough to not trouble the car owner." Said Prof. Wondo then got into the car.

Again Tantra gave up. Following the game of people who are very idolized by Masyita.

Tantra also drove Masyita and her family to the place they had planned.

In that luxurious restaurant, once again Tantra felt that there was a distance between herself and Prof. Wondo´s. Even though he was sitting in front of the prof. Wondo, but his existence seemed to be not considered by the man.

"Good luck with your success." A typical baritone voice from Papa Syita opened their chat. "After this, what are your plans for the future, son?"

"I want to work as an accountant in a big company Pa. Tomorrow I'll start putting in job application letters." Answer Masyita

"Papa has contacts at PT. Andromeda. The owner of the company is a papa patient. Now the company is managed by his eldest son. Papa had a conversation with his son, it turns out he met your high school first.” Profs. Wondo explained as he cut the steak in front of him.

"Oh yeah? What's his name Pa?" ask Syita.

"Papa forgot his name. He said he was one of your admirers at school. But you never cared about it. Though Papa see her son handsome loh son, pinter, success anyway.” Papa Syita continued to speak regardless of Tantra in front of him.

Tantra began to have difficulty swallowing the steak pieces in her mouth. His tongue feels bland to taste. Papa Syita's conversation with her daughter makes tightness in Tantra's chest.

dret..

Mobile voice Prof. Wondo ringing.

Finish answering that call, Prof. Wondo immediately stood up, taking his son and wife to leave because there was a sudden call so that he went straight to the Hospital.

"But Pa, Syita still wants to be with us Tantra.” Say Syita with a little spoiled.

Profs. Wondo looked at Tantra quite firmly as if hinting at a warning for her. Tantra understood the meaning of his great teacher even though only through the eyes. Profs. Wondo worried about his daughter because Tantra did not bring her own vehicle.

“I will take Masyita by taxi. And I make sure that Masyita returns home in good condition. Professor no need to worry.” Tantra said very convincingly.

Listen to that, Prof. Wondo and his wife left the restaurant without saying any more.

Tantra and Masyita continue their meal while chatting with each other. Congratulate each other and express their affection. Until the last piece of steak came into Tantra's mouth, it was only then that he realized that all this food had not been paid for. 

Tantra immediately finished her meal and asked the waiter for a bill. Instantly his eyes fiddled at the number that appeared on the bill paper.

Rp. 2,500,000.00 (Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Rupiah)

Although surprised, but Tantra did not show it in front of Masyita. He took his debit card to pay for the food. Although in his mind he still did not expect that their food would be that expensive.

“This is beef what is whale meat anyway? Very expensive!” Tantric murmuring in the heart. “Ludes has saved me!”

After completing the payment, Tantra fulfilled her promise to drive Masyita home safely. Arriving at Masyita's house, he immediately returned home. Tantra walked away from the house. After a few meters away from there, Tantra called her best friend.

“Halo Ra! Can you pick me up?” Tantra said to her best friend Rania.

“Can! where are you?” Ask Rania over her phone.

“Front of home Prof. Wondo´s. I'm waiting here, huh? My bike missed on campus.” Answer Tantra.

“Sama Masyita?” Ask Rania. It is undeniable that his heart felt a little crowded if he had to see the togetherness of Tantra with Masyita.

Rania has always loved Tantra. Loving in silence. Because Rania is aware that Tatra's heart is only for Masyita. All Tantra's struggle to become a doctor is to realize the dream of Masyita who wants to have the husband of a doctor like Prof. Wondo, the father he was so proud of.
