The Ruler's Love Contract

Tell Me

Dubai, 7:17 am. On campus...

I just got to campus. Come early in the morning because today there is indeed a schedule of morning courses. Usually every Friday is like this, always get a morning schedule. And now I walk into the campus building, past the park and the large parking lot. But from a distance I saw someone.

Lecturer Lee?!

I saw the man in the black shirt walking in the opposite direction to me. Looks like he's going or maybe he's going to meet the security guard up ahead. But somehow the closer we got, the more clumsy I felt.

"Good morning, Lecturer Lee."

I bowed my body when I met him. I saw him speechless without speaking a word. I don't know why I feel guilty about him. Like making a mistake that doesn't know what it is.

He's still quiet. And because the situation was suddenly awkward, I was quick to leave. I try to be ordinary because nothing happens between me. Our relationship is only limited to lecturers and students. Yes, although different faculties.

Tumben he's quiet?

As a woman, you must be thinking about changing one's attitude. Just yesterday he came to see me and brought me some fruits, but today is very different. I turned to face back, but I saw him sitting in his place. Maybe she wanted to talk to me about something? I don't know, it's better to get into the classroom while waiting for the lecturer to come. I don't want to think about it.

Finish the first hour...

I caught up a few days ago so I'm still busy in class. I'm reading a book that will be tested later. And being busy myself, I don't know if there's someone walking up to me. He was Taka, my first friend.

"Hi, Ara. Already in?"

The man in white shirt immediately pulled up the chair and sat down near me. He also carried his college bag which was placed on the table. Taka noticed me reading a book.

"Yes, there is a lot left behind if you have a long holiday. You alone?" I asked him back.

"I'm ordinary. Just the news I received was amazing." He then answered.

"Hi, Ara!" Nidji and Ken arrive soon.

Many of my classes, I was alone here. And maybe it's better if I greet them first. There is no harm in talking for a while. After all, when I didn't get in they also cared so much.

"You're out of hours?" I asked Nidji and Ken.

"No, there's still one." They pulled a chair near me.

"You know, Ara. There's a shocking incident going on here." Nidji opened the conversation.

"About?" my many.

"Rose and Jasmine. The campus duo that was facing you back then." Taka.

"What's wrong with them?" I closed the book I read.

"They are now dreary. And listen anyway because of lecturer Lee." Ken narrates.

I was shocked to hear it. "What happened to Professor Lee?" ask again.

"Jasmine and Rose fight over Lee's lecturer. Jasmine was caught walking with lecturer Lee by Rose. So that the two are no longer close. You could say they're fighting now." Nidji.

"Oh ...." Only the word oh can be said from my mouth.

Actually I'm the laziest at listening to stories about people's business. My business is a lot, so I don't have time to take care of others, let alone want to know. Better to settle things by yourself.

"Fine."

Before long I saw what I was talking about at the front door of the classroom. Taka, Ken and Nidji turned to the door. "Lecturer Lee?!!"

Long live for him. We were just talking about it, he had already come and called out to me. It seems he has business with me.

"Can we talk for a second?" her reluctant question approached us.

I then looked towards Taka, Nidji and Ken. As if asking their opinion about the invitation of this one lecturer. And I saw them standing up.

"Next time we talk. We go first."

The three then say goodbye to me, they also passed Lee who was standing at the door. I don't know what Lee wants to talk about, but it's good if I fulfill his call.

On the roof of the campus building...

The clock on my phone just showed me at 09:09 in the morning. And today there's only one more course I have to attend. Soon I can go home to my new home. But it looks like I'm going shopping first to fill up my fridge.

The morning wind was warm. The weather also began to feel hot in the sand that was built by these luxurious buildings. But maybe because I was on the roof of the campus building it felt so different.

Lee took me to the roof of the campus building. He wanted to talk to me about something. I was a little surprised by his request. But, out of respect for him as my college lecturer, I just followed him up to the roof of this terrace.

"Lecturer Lee?"

I saw the man in the black shirt walking towards the roof railing. I followed him the same. I immediately asked him what he wanted to tell me.

"Lecturer Lee, is there anything important?" I'm the one standing on his right side.

Our distance is not too close. There might be about a meter. I don't want to get close because I'm worried about causing misunderstandings. I don't want to cause a commotion here. Moreover, you could say if he is the most handsome lecturer in my campus.

"Ara, I'm actually surprised to see you wearing a negligee yesterday." He opened the conversation, like he was making small talk for a moment.

"Devicious, huh?" my question is to attach the hair that is exposed to the wind.

He shook his head. "I'm like I just saw my mom yesterday." He then lowered his head.

"Em, sorry. At home I did wear a negligee so as not to be complicated," I said.

He then smiled. "No. It'sit's okay. I'm happy to see the other side of you" he said.

"Lecturer Lee?" I was surprised by his words.

"Who was the guy yesterday who was just wearing the towel? Is he your future husband?" tanyanya is getting serious.

I don't know why I feel like our conversation is about personal matters, not college. I was reluctant to tell her who my man was in front of her. Like fear of disappointment. Lee and I had nothing to do.

"Em, Lecturer Lee. I don't understand why the Lecturer asked me that? What's the matter, actually?" I asked back.

I saw her lips as teasing the other person. White skin with narrow eyes that sometimes make the wrong behavior. I have to admit that Lee has his own charisma, so it is only natural that he is loved by students at this campus. But for me, my man is still number one. I just love her.

"Jasmine shot me last night" he said suddenly.

"What-what?! Jasmine?!" I'm appalled.

"Yes, Jasmine. Rose's friend. They are nicknamed the campus duo by the students here. You knew her?" tanyanya, while looking at me who was standing next to her.

"Em, I .. just know, Lecturer Lee," I replied as if.

"Do you think it's acceptable or not?" ask again.

"Huh?! What?!"

I was surprised by his question. Why did he ask my opinion? He will be a nobody. I'm just Ara who's a student. We also differ in faculty so have no compelling reason to be close.
