Young Lecturer Love Cage

Chapter 22

A week passed so quickly since the incident of Intan's suicide that succeeded in failing Sabiel with his surrender as a husband.

The days of Intan being in Indonesia were a severe torment for Sabiel. Ever since Sabiel re-expressed his desire for divorce, Intan seemed to have completely locked Sabiel up to stay with him. The woman followed where Sabiel went, even when Sabiel was about to go to teach, Intan who was still being threatened with danger of being left by Sabiel forced her husband to take her to campus. Although every time Sabiel taught, Intan had to be willing to stay silent in the lecturer's room.

It was certainly very disturbing for Sabiel. With the presence of Intan beside her, she could not freely approach Laura. Usually, every hour of the lecture Sabiel finished would definitely come out the last of the class, he would wait for Laura to clean up her college supplies or even accompany Laura when Laura was seen to be lingering in the classroom while opening her laptop. Now, Intan's presence alters her alone habits with Laura. Once the lecture was over, Sabiel had to immediately return to the lecturer's room to Intan and immediately return to his home with his wife.

The only way he could keep feeling close to Intan, was when he opened a question and answer session and had a few brief discussions with the girl in class. That's just in the content of the lecture, nothing more.

Laura, who was familiar with Sabiel's presence nearby, realized there was something unusual about Sabiel's attitude until she forced herself to approach Sabiel at the end of the lecture session. And by force, Sabiel tells Laura of Intan's presence waiting for him in the lecturer's room. Laura looks to understand Sabiel's condition. He no longer asked when Sabiel immediately came out in haste as soon as he finished his teaching session.

Now that a week has passed, Intan has returned to Singapore after making Sabiel forced to promise many times not to issue a speech regarding divorce.

"If I hear once again you want a divorce from me, I make sure you'll hear the news of your death in Singapore as a headline in Indonesia" Intan threatened moments before he flew to Singapore.

Sabiel shook his head as Intan's speech flashed in his mind.

He is currently on campus. He looked seriously thinking at the lecturer room table, his hands intertwined supporting his chin with a sharp eye highlight. He saw a new Laura blog page containing a photo of a bitten red apple on one side with a caption of romantic words about a meeting.

"When I come later. Just close this body. Forget asking why. Because I've lost my word. If our dialogue is about taste." Sabiel muttered in his heart.

It seems like this past week when she was busy with Intan. Laura and the man seem to be getting closer. Sabiel believed it because he saw Laura and the Milky Way reply to each other with comments in a tone as if they had been friends for a long time. The Milky Way even said in his comments that he would meet Laura when his affairs were over.

Meet Laura?

Sabiel clenched his hands on the table. He would not accept if they met again.

It seemed like the current Sabiel was increasingly being chased by time, he did not want to be late to get Laura. She could not let Laura get any closer and instead belonged to another man.

Tok to tok.

Sabiel's door was knocked from outside. Before long the door was opened by a hijab woman who then entered Sabiel when she saw a signal from Sabiel to approach her.

"Morrow's preparation for the nature tour will soon begin, you are asked to immediately go to the meeting room" he said politely.

Sabiel.

"Thank you, I'll be there soon." Sabiel said.

"Alright sir" said the hijab woman who has long worked as one of the staff in the deanate building.

Sabiel smiled mysteriously just as the door was closed from the outside by the staff. She knew when it was time to tell Laura the truth about her feelings.

🍁🍁🍁

"There is no need for you to come if you can't" Laura told the Milky Way.

Laura and the Milky Way are getting closer by the day. They often contact each other and share stories about many things.

From the Milky Way, Laura came to know how bad the capitalists who stood firm on the Indonesian earth, destroying the Indonesian people by making them cheap workers. From the Milky Way, Laura now knows that the colonial conditions of the past are still felt today. It's just with modern methods. Many peasant lands were forced to be sold so that they could be made into a large industry that only brought profits to their owners. While farmers, ironically must rent land only to return to farming.

The Milky Way tells a lot of things that Laura had never thought of before. Laura is happy, the stories of the Milky Way can add insight to her. That the glitter of the modern world is directly proportional to the corruption hidden in it.

People may never have thought that behind the luxury of famous shoes there is the sweat of workers who are forced to work overtime every day in it.

People will also never care, that a grain of rice they eat every day is the result of the middleman's cheating game that keeps on giving cheap prices on agricultural produce.

Oh Laura, the world is not as sweet as it seems in your eyes, He holds bitter bitterness that is very bitter if you want to look further into the deepest part of life.

"Yes. I need to get to Prabumulih Laura. There will be a labor congress" said Bimasakti full of regret.

This week, she and Laura will meet. Bimasakti will meet Laura in Bandung after the filing of a labor case file that was being handled by her managed to enter the prosecutor's office, is completed.

Unfortunately, it seems that fate did not want them to meet. Because a while ago, the Milky Way got an invitation to come to Prabumulih with the labor leader and several other members. There will be an annual congress that the Milky Way cannot miss.

"It's okay, next time we can make an appointment again." Laura's voice sounded disappointed by the fact that the Milky Way had to leave without ever meeting her.

"You must be disappointed. I'm sorry." said the Milky Way.

"Here you go, you're making me even more disappointed." Laura tried to neutralize her voice back. "What are you doing right now?" continued.

"I am preparing some papers that I will bring to the congress" replied the Milky Way.

"Where are you going to sleep?" ask Laura

"Women's members too?" asked Laura curiously.

The Milky Way smirked ignorantly when it got the question. There is a feeling of pleasure when hearing Laura's questions that seem to want to find out details about her in Prabumulih later. Laura sounded like a woman watching her lover. There was a trace of jealousy in his question.

"Why are you asking that?" asked Sabiel jahil. "You're jealous if I'm one inn with another woman?" sabiel said he made Laura flutter across the street.

"I? Of jealousy?!" Laura's nervous. "You're too confident man!" laura tried to hide her nervousness.

Over there, the Milky Way laughed with satisfaction at Laura's words. Laura snorted bitterly because the Milky Way managed to embarrass her.

"Here you go, you better get ready soon" said Laura annoyed. "I have to go back to the dorm."

"Hey, I was just joking Laura" said the Milky Way. "In the inn, the female and male members are separated. Take it easy, there's no woman who's attractive to me." Bimasakti grinned ignorantly. Unbeknownst to him, Laura smiled brightly at his words.

The two of them were still not in a relationship until then, but the attitude of the two seemed to show interest in each other that they did not cover up. The Milky Way did not deny that Laura's presence, made her comfortable and seemed to always feel excited every time.

Clearly she realized that feeling more than just liking was present in her heart since their first meeting, or even long before they met, the Milky Way already had an interest in Laura. That was the reason why he was eager to meet the girl every time he read the writings in Laura's personal blog.

"All right, I think we've had enough to talk. I need to get back to preparing all my needs for there." The Milky Way was about to end its call with Laura.

"OKs. I'll be back in the dorm, too."

"Laura, I will definitely miss you" said the Milky Way bluntly.

"Yes. I did too." said Laura blushed in embarrassment. "Exit your schedule after that congress, or you'll see me wrathful, Milky Way!" Laura threatened the Milky Way. The man across the street chuckled at the threat of demands from Laura.

"We'll see! bye Laura" The Milky Way with her bow irritated Laura with her words, even more upset when Laura heard the call sign had been turned off unilaterally by the man.

"Aaaarrrkkhh! you're a bitch!" aphat Laura was upset as she stomped her feet to immediately step back towards her dorm.

After dinner, Laura and Gisel head to the nearest supermarket to their campus. Tomorrow, Laura and her classmate will start a three-day, two-night nature tour in Lembang. Currently with Gisel,

Laura was about to buy some things for her to bring.

"How's that lecturer approaching you, Laura?" gisel asked a glance at Laura who was walking side by side with him.

"Who?" asked Laura astonished.

"That's.. Sabiel." said Gisel angrily.

"Gisel, he's not approaching me. Stop that thought." Laura was caught off guard by Gisel's thoughts that always said Sabiel was approaching her.

"You are insensitive Laura, obviously she has special feelings for you" Gisel said casually. "I'm sure, in a few moments she'll have to express her feelings for you" he continued.

"You're nuts. He's married, where he might have other feelings for a woman other than his wife." Laura shook her head in disbelief at Gisel's words.

"Laura, you think married men wouldn't possibly have feelings for other women?!" gisel asked. "Don't lie, you know better about it, don't you?!" Gisel smiled when he saw the look on Laura's face seemed to think of Gisel's words.

Although Laura admits that Gisel's words have a point, she doesn't want to believe that Sabiel has feelings for her. Laura will not be happy to hear Sabiel express her feelings when Laura finds out that there are women who are more deserving of Sabiel's feelings, Intan. The young teacher's own wife.

Amidst the bustling atmosphere of the streets, Laura tried to rethink all Sabiel's attitude towards her. Their closeness, their chatter while together. Until the moment her mind recalls some moments where Sabiel felt very closed to her when Laura asked her household life with Intan.

"It looks like I do have to keep my distance from the lecturer." Laura concluded the decision she had to make, after thinking for quite a while.

Gisel smiled hearing that. She clasped Laura's hand tightly, while staring at Laura giving support for the good decision Laura took.

"Prevent better than cure, right?!" he said cheerfully, while attracting Laura to enter the supermarket that was in front of them.
