The Trumpet of Seraphim
Lunch With Lecturers
"Darling if later in the afternoon you go home from college just the same driver is okay, right?" Gamal asked his wife when they reached the Sera campus. He felt guilty when he had to let his wife go home from college on her own.
"Why indeed? I've been so used to it for a long time" Sera felt her husband was overreacting.
"It was a time when we were not married, if now you will be my full responsibility" Gamal said seriously.
"If I ask to be picked up every day, can you pick me up? there's only been one week you've been fired by dad!" Sera chuckles.
"Yes too" Gamal scratched his non-itchy head.
"Have not worried about me, just focus on working, I'll be fine" Sera assured Gamal.
"Well, thank you baby, you're very understanding" Gamal peeked at his wife's forehead.
"I go in first yeah, be careful on the road" Sera then kissed Gamal's cheek.
"Cock just cheeks anyway?" Gamal protest.
"What do you want?" Sera frowning.
"This" Gamal replied as he pointed at his lips.
"What wasn't enough this morning?" Sera felt her husband was like a powerful robot, very durable.
"Who told you to make me addicted?" Gamal smiled ignorantly.
"Ck, you perverted husband!" Sera patted her husband's arm spoiled and then kissed Gamal's lips gently.
"I love you" Gamal stroked Sera's cheek.
"I love you too" Sera replied to him before getting out of the car and then walking away towards her college building.

"What do you want to eat?" bitha asked as they were already out of class and headed to the cafeteria for lunch break.
"It looks like a delicious chicken soto huh" Sera imagined a fresh gravy with a squeeze of lime.
"Hemmmmm seems tempting, then let's go to the soto kiosk" Bitha became tempted.
"Sotonya two yes, the rice is separated" Sera ordered for the two of them.
"What do you drink?" ask the seller.
"Well, wait a minute" said the seller.
While waiting for their order to arrive, Sera and Bitha chatted about the material they had just obtained quite seriously until they did not realize that someone was approaching them.
"Hi" said the man.
"Sir Arnold?" Sera and Bitha exclaimed together again.
"You want to eat soto too?" Arnold asked.
"Yes sir" Bitha replied, while Sera simply nodded.
"Can I join here? it seems like it would be more exciting to eat together than alone" Arnold said with a smile as he looked towards Sera.
"Please" back Bitha who replied, while Sera just smiled.
"The Seraphim don't mind, do they?" arnold asked Sera who had been silent since.
"No sir, please go ahead" Sera gave her a seat next to him.
"Thank you" Arnold told Sera.
"Sama-sama" Sera replied politely, while Bitha noticed that Arnold had indeed deliberately joined them in wanting to get close to Sera.
"This is a non order" the seller brought two servings of bowls filled with soto and rice dishes and orange ice for Sera and Bitha.
"One more serving is exactly like them sir" Arnold ordered the same menu.
"Any lecturer, wait a while" said the seller who already knew Arnold quite well.
"Thank you" Arnold said.
After all Arnold's orders came, the three of them ate interspersed with small talk surrounding the lecture. Arnold occasionally asked and spoke grazing toward Sera's personal life. Arnold continued to talk at length until their break time was up.
"Well then, congratulations on continuing to learn" Arnold then stood up and walked away. While Sera and Bitha just look at each other with a strange feeling of seeing the behavior of their lecturer who could be said to be very curious about Sera's personal life.
"You see, he seems to be after you!" Bitha looked at Sera.
"It seems so" Sera became afraid to imagine how later if Gamal to find out if she had fans, maybe her husband would be angry.
