The Secret of the Detective

25. Shadow

“Aaaaargh... Why is his face always in the shadows? It has only been three days but he has managed to disturb my calm?” The theme sighed violently when it realized that the face of his new student was often present in his mind.

Kiran's beautiful and cute face, uninvited, was always present in her mind both when she was teaching in the classroom and in the teacher's room at recess. Even when he had just returned home and was sitting casually in his small room, his student's face had already come to greet in his mind.

“This wire, really danger,” murmured Theme.

To repel the shadow of women who have been bothering him lately, Tema opened a laptop and examined the results of the research he was working on.  The theme decided to busy himself to be free from the pursuit of his student's face.

Lucky for Themes because when he was immersed in the busy process of research data, Kiran's face can temporarily move away from his mind.

The theme was so focused on what he was doing that he did not realize the clock was already showing the number 12 in the middle of the night.

When he realized he had not yet done the prayer isya, Tema immediately rushed to fetch water wudu. After completing the prayer, Tema continued his work until dawn.

Thursdays and Fridays are the theme days to go to college. In addition to being a history teacher in High School, Tema also became an assistant lecturer while preparing to continue his education in doctoral programs. Themes had intended to take his doctoral program at the campus where he taught only, but his supervising lecturers insisted that Tema take his doctoral program at a foreign university.

The theme has determined the choice of the university to be addressed. The research he is working on is a requirement for the submission of doctoral programs at the destination university. Tema has also applied for a scholarship program for further education.

At eight in the morning, Themes had arrived at the campus. He immediately headed for his guidance lecturer's room to meet him.

“Assalamualaikum, Prof,” greet Themes when entering the room of his supervisor.

“Waalaikumsalam. Sit, Tem.” Profs. Wulan Hartati invited Themes to sit down.

The theme sat facing Prof. Wulan was nervous because it was not usually Prof. Wulan called early in the morning.

“There is happy news for you,” said Prof. Wulan while smiling.

“SK you to become a permanent lecturer already out. Congratulations!” Profs. Wulan reached out to congratulate Themes.

“Aalhamdulillah's. Thank you, Prof. Thank you for your help and support during this.” The theme welcomes the hand of Prof. Wulans.

“And for more news. Please patience. Insha Allah good news will soon follow,” said Prof. Wulans.

Want it to feel Themes embraced the unpretentious woman in front of him to vent his joy. Profs. Wulan is the person who most supports Themes to achieve all his dreams. To Prof. Wulan was, Themes poured out all the contents of the heart related to his dreams.

“I am very grateful to Prof. Wulan for all her support. May Allah repay all the kindness of Prof. Wulan to me.”

“This is thanks to your effort and hard work, Tem. I just push and open opportunities.” said Prof. Wulans.

Next, Themes and Profs. Wulan was immersed in a long discussion until just before lunch.

“We had lunch together yes, Tem,” invite Prof. Wulans.

“Thank you, Prof.” Theme nodded.

“We had lunch at my house. I also want to introduce you to my youngest child who just graduated from college,” invite Prof. Wulans.

“Iya, Prof.” replied Themes do not have the power to reject the invitation of Prof. Wulans.
