There is No Need for Love

Miss Old Friends

Risda came out of the IX-F classroom, this was not a class that should belong to Risda, her position here was only to replace, but it seemed that Risda was quite comfortable, as all the students seemed enthusiastic, as all the students seemed to be, some even talk, why don't Risda just teach them next.

Of course Risda only laughed a little at the expression, Risda where might be able to answer it, Risda's position is only an ordinary teacher, still honorary anyway. There is not enough force to ask, for his position is clear, waiting and carrying out the orders that are fixed on him.

Because there is an empty clock, Risda chose to go to the cafeteria, wanted to just drink and see a small treat, Risda was used to the cafeteria, because from home did not bring supplies, he said, so as to prop up the stomach at lunch, Risda always rely on what is in the canteen.

Risda smiles herself seeing the status of her friend Wiwik on her social media account, where Wiwik writes her complaint of being a teacher in the area, teaching with minimal facilities, and also the, so Wiwik must find a lot of sense to be able to just create learning media.

There is a sentence “It's you who are still there.”, after that sentence, Wiwik marks some of his friends who still live in the city, including Risda, Asrul, Arman and some other friends, as if to say, if they still feel good living in the city.

This is what makes Risda smile on her own, funny to imagine Wiwik who bothers, let alone Risda know, Wiwik people who easily fret. And indeed what Wiwik said according to Risda is a lot of truth too, from the side of the facilities, for example, the schools in big cities are certainly different from those in small towns.

This even became a lot of discussion, so Risda remembered what they faced in the interior of Kalimantan, even there do not have to talk facilities, everything is really nothing, big empty.

Risda idly wrote a comment on the status of Wiwik, just finished sending, there was a notification there was typing, Risda waiting, apparently a comment from another friend, he said, and finally Wiwik status got a lot of comments.

Risda is now so engrossed in reading the comments that come in, there is a sense of joy that comes arriving, there is a sense of longing too, because their last meeting while on the ship when returning from Kalimantan Island, Indonesia, even in the port of peacock everything has been equally dispersed and disappeared with their respective families.

When the audience with the Department of Education, also not many who came together, because it came from different cities, so that today, the, only social media can be a place for their conversation if they want to talk together

Reunion and meeting plans are also still hampered by many things, especially those who are married, Wiwik for example, to re-assemble is not easy, now Wiwik is in Sulawesi, follow the husband. So to come together is no longer as easy as when you were in college.

Risda imagines Wiwik who now lives far away on Sulawesi Island, he separated from Asrul, married to his location friend when he became a teacher in the interior of Kalimantan, Indonesia, both of them have now become teachers in Wiwik's husband's home district, Risda is not very familiar because it is not as campus as them.

The married ones are not only Wiwik, but also Reshi and Arman. Reshi is married to his girlfriend since High School who became a Police Officer, they live still in Java, but in Central Java, precisely Pringsurat, Temanggung, quite far now.

Risda didn't even know if Rishi was a teacher like her or not. But, if it does not include pity too, after three years of serving in the interior, then choosing not to teach seems a bit strange too, too, why die martial arts death far there if finally not become a teacher as well.

Unlike the case with Asrul, since the beginning he did not intend to become a teacher, Asrul left for Kalimantan just to find experience, then afterwards wanted to mengersukan lecture, although Risda still felt strange, but still felt strange, in fact, if Asrul directly took S2 yesterday, now it is finished should be.

Arman was married to their former college friend, but another major. Arman's wife is a child of Economic Education, but he does not work as a teacher, but now manages finances in one of the supermarkets in the Marunda area, it is still very possible to gather.

Risda was trying to count, other than him, Asrul, Aruan and Arman, who probably gathered in a fast time no more than fifteen people, as well, while they were one room in college there were thirty-five people, meaning not half of them, so the possibility of a whole reunion will seem difficult to materialize.

Just now that Risda wanted to put her phone in the bag, there was a fairly tight call tone. Risda's smile also saw who was calling, Asrul. Risda was full of questions too, because since returning from Kalimantan, this is the first phone call from Asrul, Vidio call anyway, Risda immediately lifted.

“Long time ago raised Say ..”.

Risda immediately pouted. “Say .. say .. what say ?”.

Asrul immediately laughed. “No need to pout so dong Say”.

“Bodo”.

Asrul was back to laughing. “Lu pout it, the more beautiful you know. More miss gua”.

“Damn you, what do you want?”.

Asrul still continued to laugh. “Lu again where is Ris ?”.

“At school”.

Asrul bobbin head. “Two knows in school, he means in high school exactly where, again where ?”.

“Emang Lu can't see the cave anymore in the canteen ?”.

Asrul laughed again. “Gua in your home nih Ris, your no”.

Risda's forehead was slightly wrinkled, and finally a smile also as Asrul pointed the camera, right, Asrul was in front of his house, but he could not enter, the gate was locked, there was no one there.

Asrul was still laughing. “Cua misses, what else do”.

Risda nodded back. “Still at school at this time”.

“What time does Say come home ?”.

“Half three, still lama”.

Asrul is somewhat tickling. “His length ?. Can't speed it up ?”.

“Iya, it is so home. Where can be in fast pasin, there are just”.

“Who knows Say. Uh .... Your school is opposite her school Candidate Mama-in-law right?”.

Risda shakes. “Iya, why is it ?”.

“Gua can come right?”.

Risda immediately nodded. “Ngapain ?”.

Asrul. “Kan already said, cave miss, nanya again”.

Risda returned to the head. “Terexah”.

Asrul looks sumringah. “Okey Say, in wait ya”.

Risda just nods his head, call cut off. Risda took a long breath, Asrul who always spoke as he pleased since Mr. Nas who turned out his father recognized Risda as his daughter and Asrul as his son-in-law in family catering to Tawau City.

Since then, Risda can only resignedly call Asrul his mother the future mother-in-law, I don't know what her mother's response will be if she hears it, but Risda even now so curious, so curious, what do you think his mother's response if she heard Asrul call her a future mother-in-law.

Risda so amused himself, his own smile, long time Risda so used to all the talk of Asrul, no longer care what Asrul wants to say. In his heart Risda could only complain, it was difficult to describe his heart about all the actions of Asrul.

Said not to like, not really. Risda also admitted that Asrul is the best friend he now has, Asrul became one of his confiding friends, even what Asrul did while they were in Kalimantan has not been able to forget.

All the actions of Asrul and all his attention indeed continue to imprint in Risda's memory, but to establish a relationship, Risda still thinks long, there are many things that must be in the dim first, but to establish a relationship, there are many differences between them that cannot be easily seen.

Not to mention the problem of Risda's life story that is so sad, Risda is not convinced if Asrul knows, his attitude has not changed, and even if he still does not matter, how about his family, how about his family, whether you are ready to accept a family member with a life history like Risda, there is no guarantee for that.

Risda stepped into his class, Risda still has classes until the last hour, because today Risda is quite dense, especially one of the Indonesian teachers participate in PLPG, because today Risda is indeed quite solid, the clock was handed over to Risda as a substitute teacher, this made Risda for several weeks had many hours of entry.

It is also commonplace, if there is a teacher who is studying or training, then the honor teacher will be targeted as a substitute teacher. And honor teachers like Risda can't do anything, inevitably have to accept it with a chest of air.

But, economically there is also fortunately, there will be a hefty compensation for this replacement process, usually all will be on the responsibility of schools, not teachers who are replaced, because it is not a holiday, absent or absent, but it is official in the name of the school.

All the students shouted uproar when they heard the announcement that the teacher would be meeting, Risda just laughed, this was also his work together with many of his friends, he said, everyone will be happy if they hear there is a teacher meeting, it means all students will go home early.

Risda stood up after the last student in her class greeted and ran out of the room, Risda stepped into the teacher's room, because the meeting was held there, Risda was a little late, so she had to be willing to sit a little behind, so she was able to sit a little behind, join a male teacher.

Risda who was initially still waiting for information about Asrul because she was worried that Asrul came when the meeting was still hot the heat was finally somewhat relieved, Risda became relieved because there was an incoming SMS Asrul who explained that he could not come because he arrived to ask his mother to the hospital.

Risda only replied okey and now focused on the teacher meeting that had begun to have differences of views that gave birth to debates between several senior teachers, including Rahman who is usually called Pakde by many teachers, who have been speaking to him, senior honorary teacher who was almost fifty years old.
