A year has passed since Zakaria's departure. As promised, Shofia continued her life. He chose to be a teacher at Junior High where he used to study.
At first, he was just visiting her place of memory. But the principal offered a job as an economics teacher there. In accordance with the department he took. SMP is a normal school. So they are free to appoint a competent teacher.
He hesitated. But then he thought it would be fun if his knowledge was useful. Moreover, he can devote himself in the school that has contributed to provide knowledge to him.
Shofia's car is parked neatly in the teacher's special parking lot. Shofia usually uses a motor when teaching. But today after teaching he intends to go to his shop.
Yes, now Shofia also managed to establish a boutique in his hometown. Dream shop. But not all dreams about the boutique are achieved. He used to want to develop his duck with Santri. But he feels grateful.
"Good morning, pretty teacher." greet the group of male students who passed by Shofia as she headed for the office. The beautiful teacher was the call of the students for her.
"For my handsome children as well" Shofia said with a smile. He entered the teacher's room.
"Assalaamu'alaikum."
"Wa'alaikum salam. Miss Shofi come here. I made a new recipe with a new recipe. Let's try it." said Mrs Indah while showing her the chocolate bronis.
Shofia immediately approached the fellow teacher in the room. Then he sat down beside him and immediately sacked the bronis that had been offered.
"Today we're going to have a new teacher, Shofi" Inun said.
"Oh yeah? So the substitute teacher for Mr Eko?" mr. Eko is a sports teacher who some time ago moved because he was appointed a civil servant.
"Yes ma'am."
"Alhamdulillah then."
"Yes, thank you again. The new teacher is reportedly still single and also handsome" said Ms. Indah. Some of the teachers there are young and single. Sometimes the teacher chooses to be a PNS. Even though the salary received there is higher than the salary to become a PNS. Although private, this school is a favorite school. But sometimes a teacher wants a salary that guarantees old age. In this world money is important.
"Truly ma'am. He is the son of the owner of this foundation." added Bu Inun.
"Ooo" and Shofia are just o-ri. That's how he is. It's still the same as before. Still cute to the men.
During this one year, there were actually many men who approached him. But his heart was still tightly closed. And this time it seems like the key is also he threw away somewhere.
The mother sometimes worries about the fate of the child. He was old enough to get married. But it seems that the child is still comfortable with his loneliness.
"Well, how should I go?"
"Well don't know." replied Inun.
teeetttt the sound of the entrance bell echoed. The conversation of the young teachers stopped.
"Let's go to class." take Shofia along while preparing her teaching equipment.
"Let's go. " replied the two colleagues.
When Shofia was about to leave the teacher room, unexpectedly from outside there was a young man who was about to enter. They almost collided. Fortunately, a minor accident was inevitable.
"Sorry, I was in a hurry" said Shofia.
Seconds the man was silent. He noticed Shofia who felt guilty.
"Ehm... I'm sorry too. I was in a hurry too. Oh yeah, you seem to be the teacher here?" ask the man politely.
"really. Can I help you?"
"I'm looking for the principal's room."
"owhhhhhhhhh. Let me take you. It just so happens that Say's class is in line with his room." Shofia offered her help.
During the journey they remained silent. The man walked next to Shofia despite being a bit far apart. The principal's room was still lined with the office space earlier. Actually Shofia could have told me without dropping her off. But it seems rude because they are unidirectional. So even though Shofia was a bit uncomfortable walking beside the man. He's trying to be polite.
tot tok tok. The wooden door was knocked by Shofia.
"Asalaamu'alaikum's chat. Excuse me sir. There are guests looking for the father" said Shofia when she managed to open the door after hearing the greeting from the owner of the room.
"Owh sir Sandy. Please sit down sir. Welcome to this school" said Mr. Budi, the headmaster.
The man immediately came in and sat down on the chair. After completing his duties, Shofia resigned.
