Best Teacher And Me
Prologues

Venturing into her own mind, Kila daydreams of her family problems, problems that are at home. Then he stared for a moment around his class, staying himself who had not left the class. Even though it has been time for all students to go home, in addition to students who participate in extracurricular activities. However, Kila did not participate in any exculpation. Kila only got used to it after the dzuhur prayer in musholla then returned to her class to enjoy the atmosphere of solitude. Because only here he can enjoy the atmosphere of solitude, safe without burden.

Feeling that she does not want to think about the problems in her home anymore, now Kila even turns to think of Irsyad, a teacher whom she admires. Kila remembered very well, in this class, in the seat he was sitting in, at the table he looked at, the distinctive smell of this dusty classroom Kila remembered with someone who invited him to berta'aruf. But it was a mere Kila misunderstanding. Yes, Kila just misunderstood the phrase "ta'aruf" which said from the tiny mouth of the man's figure. Moreover, the one who said that sentence was Irsyad, the man who was able to bewitch Kila with his voice and fell in love the first time he met her.

Irsyad Maulana, he is the love figure of the first sight of Afifah Syakila. There is another problem, Kila knows very well that loving her own teacher is one of the taboos seen by the community. However, Kila could not possibly point it out so blatantly. Kila is the girl who, when she wants something, does not clearly show it, but silently, trying to ask for it because of God. Irsyad Maulana, you're being asked by Kila through God for a third of the night.

"Where is your house? There's something I want to talk to your parents about." The man broke Kila's daydream with a question. Then with a stutter he saw where the voice came from and turned his face and lowered his gaze immediately because he knew what he saw was a man. Kila then blinked her eyes many times, she began to be aware of the question the man was asking. What do you mean by the question he asked? Did Kila have made a mistake with him to have to ask for an address and want to meet with all parents.

"Sorry, Sir. If I am wrong I apologize. My father told my law rather than having to meet with my parents to explain my attitude in school. I'm afraid that my Papa will be angry, sir." Kila lowered her gaze. However, there was a clear wry laugh. Then slowly it turned into a loose laugh. It seemed like the man was instead laughing at Kila with satisfaction. Kila has to keep her image as a woman. He does not want to be laughed at, especially the person he admires and loves in silence. Yes, that person is Irsyad.

"I just wanted to visit him both because of my agenda as your homeroom teacher, Kila. Friendship between parents and homeroom students. Your overreaction is funny. I can't stop laughing. HAHAA..." Irsyad answered and his laughter grew.

Kila instead fell silent and forgot to think about her image as a woman and instead immersed in her mind, only this time she saw Irsyad laughing loosely from close up. Irsyad is not a handsome and cold teacher like idol teachers in general, he is a handsome teacher who is very warm and easy to smile but also difficult to guess. But seeing the laughter released from Irsyad this close made his heart beat unnaturally, making him realize that his admiration for Irsyad had exceeded normal limits. Kila hurriedly put away that strange thought.

"Yes, sir. Please come. My home address remained the same as I made on the self-introduction paper you told me to make a class at the time. And not only that, all the information in it is also complete, sir." Kila broke the teacher's laughter.

"Emmm... Is it true that your most precious person is a grandmother, not a father or a mother, or both, or a family? You see, one class answered that," asked Irsyad again to Kila.

"I'm confused, sir. Why is everyone asking me that. I think in the information you asked for at that time it was very clear. I don't want to talk about grandma anymore, sir." Kila's tone changed into a sad thing to remember grandma back. Grandma was the most precious figure to Kila. Since childhood even from birth Kila was closer to grandmother than papa and his mother because of their respective activities. Kila has been trying to be sincere about the passing of grandma, but we all know that everything needs a process.

"I am so sorry, Kila. But don't be sad for long. 40 Days have passed." Irsyad was encouraging after a moment of silence.

"Um, I'm working on something, sir. Thank you," Kila answered with a nod.

"Thank you back."

"For...?" Kila scrunched his forehead.

"The answer thanks you. Haha, you freak."

"Hmm, I'm weird, huh, sir?"

"Yes, but I like it."

"Likes...? What do you mean, sir?"

"I like you that way."

"Why silence, Kila? Something's wrong, is it?"

Actually, what Kila and Irsyad did was a small conversation between teachers and students, but why there is an ambiguous word that makes Kila increasingly misunderstand the words of Irsyad. "I like you said Mr. Irsyad ...? Yes Rabb, did you not mishear," said Kila.

"Crazy? Kil, Kila...? Why silent? Hey, I'm talking to you here." Irsyad tried to resuscitate Kila when her words were not touched by Kila and instead looked a little daydreaming shown by Kila on Irsyad.

"Eh, yes, sir? Why?"

"Is there something wrong with my words? Why silent? You were like daydreaming."

"Emm, no. Did you say you liked me? This is what this weird thing means?" ask Kila hesitating.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Ooh, so, sir."

"Yes." Yeah."

Again, if at that time Kila misunderstood the phrase "I want us to be 'aruf" from Irsyad, this time he misunderstood the phrase "I like you" from the person he admired. Moreover, the sentence is not finished, "I like you so" it needs to be underlined that his sentence continues to show that Irsyad likes it not him but his strange nature.

Kila is indeed a girl who is easily carried away by feelings about people's words, regardless of whether or not the words are good for her. Just look, he underlined important sentences related to his state especially his mood, no matter the real meaning and there are further sentences. Perhaps this was the fatal weakness he had, and could not be changed.

Irsyad felt that there was no more that he wanted to talk about, he also left the class.

"Then I stay first. Tell your parents that I will come. I want Ta'aruf's permission too. Okay well? Assalamu'alaykum." Irsyad said on the doorstep as he walked towards the teacher's office.

"Wa'alaykumussalam, sir." Kila replied with a tone that was getting weaker, there was another ambiguous word in the sentence that Irsyad thought. Is the word the same as it was before, or is there seriousness behind it. Kila was sure that this time he did not hear wrong and the follow-up sentence was also absent, so this time there was no way he could misunderstand. Argh.

"What if Mr. Irsyad goes home is not only the relationship between parents of students and homeroom guardians for friendship only, but also ask permission to share with me, hihi," he said.
