Best Teacher And Me
Remembering What Has Ever Happened

Irsyad left Citra's house quite early in the morning. After breakfast, he went straight back to his home before continuing to teach to the campus. About her problem with Kila, Irsyad did not explain anything to her parents. Even though Citra has repeatedly offended it, Irsyad still keeps meetings of the problem. No matter how big Irsyad's household problems, do not let outsiders know the problem even though it is his own parents. It is the same as opening up a household disgrace. Because it should be, the disgrace is covered, not brought up for others to know. Although the goal is to make yourself feel relieved because the burden is reduced after telling it. If we still have God to complain about, why should we ask God to believe that His creatures can solve our problems?

They, Irsyad and Kila split temporarily. Irsyad returned to his home, becoming the only occupant of the house in the next three days. Irsyad did not ask when Kila would leave, nor did Kila tell him. Apparently, one day after Irsyad decided to stay at Citra's house, Kila had already left the house in the morning. Kila chose an early-morning flight to leave immediately and shied away from being able to meet Irsyad.

"I am used to living alone. The time in Turkey was also fine with that solitude. Loneliness is the same as it is now, but why do I feel so lonely just because you will be left alone for only a few days, Kila?" Irsyad looked at the memo Kila had left before his departure.

"Kila leaves at seven in the morning, brother. Sorry I didn't make breakfast" the memo read. Just by reading the memo Irsyad was so lonely.

"Well.., back like a boarding boy again even if it's only three days. So long for the time in Turkey first," said Irsyad averted his mind. Irsyad tried to be fine with his solitude, he lied to himself.

Irsyad was lucky to be busy with various jobs. So, he did not have to drag on thinking about Kila. Loneliness is not a problem for him now. Now it's time to go to work to finish the work that's been piled up. He returned to campus after taking some documents from his study at home.

...****************...

At the beach, Kila even thought about the holiday time with Irsyad. The holiday that people usually call a honeymoon because it takes a vacation trip a few days after the wedding. He smiled remembering it and then the smile turned into a cry. He remembered the sweet moment while walking along the beach, also remember when he was selfish by suddenly crying and became a bad moment. Looks like Kila chose the wrong place to calm down.

"In hindsight, the selfish is me. But why is it so hard to control this selfishness?" batin Kila who daydreamed looking at the beach. He was strong enough now to hold back his tears from being shed too much. Either he was strong or indeed because there were too many tears spilled before so he could resist those tears from shedding much this time.

The location of the beach chosen by Kila is different from the beach when they first vacation. However, still the atmosphere of the beach makes it nostalgic to remember those bad good memories.

"Come, Kila! The spirit! Thesis, don't forget the thesis!" Kila encourages herself.

First day at the beach. Kila also only set three days to settle down. To that end, Kila would not waste this short amount of time. At least that was what he thought after crying and daydreaming at the beach. He immediately went into the hotel room he occupied to start his productive day.

"Akil, send a photo of the beach, dong. Let's see it feel like we're on vacation, too." A short message came in from the group chat containing the triad of it—Kila, Ira, and Risa. And the one who sent the message was Ira. Exactly he sends a message when Kila is saturated staring at the screen of his laptop continuously.

"Yes, Kil. From a good angle, yes. Let's be in the mood to squirm." Risa's turn to send a chat message. Kila smiled reading it. They had just been told by Kila this morning about a departure to the beach for three days. However, it has already asked to send pictures of the beach. Especially when the time is so good. This makes Kila always grateful to have a friend like them despite his strange behavior.

"I've got a picture of the new time I arrived. I want to send you that one, right?" reply Kila.

"Father, Kil. The best photo. We don't want to see what's got on us. Enough views of the beach alone," said Risa.

"Ye.., you, Ris. But really, anyway. More satisfied if you see the view of the beach. If Akil is in his picture, we envy you. Keep going to the beach too, deh," Ira replied.

"You guys just calm down. All the photos I took were good. There are no pictures of me either. I came here alone, so no one's motoin." Kila. He realized that he was alone, even though he went to the beach before he went to the beach with Irsyad. And Irsyad is much meritorious to take pictures of Kila on the beach.

"Yes, manhunt, Kil!"

Kila immediately sent a picture of the scene he had taken earlier. He did so while smiling to find the funny attitude of his two best friends shown in the short message chat.

"Thank you so much for this great view of Princess Akil." Ira expressed her gratitude with the heart sticker at the end.

"Duh, lebay, deh, Ra. Thanks Kila," Risa replied.

"Yes, yes, the same."

"By the way, what's the thesis? Safe, Kil?" tanya Risa likes a new topic.

"Aman dong, because Mr. Irsyad, right, so Akil's private lecturer to help Kila so that the script is fast. Yeah, right, Akil?" answer Ira origin. He always tried to associate Kila with Irsyad under any circumstances.

"Yes even though he was a private lecturer, not just everything Mr. Irsyad told you, Ra. You are not directly doubting the ability of Kila, you know," said Risa.

"Yes, I was wrong. I'm sorry, Akil."

"Yeah, Kil. You go to the beach why not take Mr Irsyad? If it's a workday, you should be able to leave Friday through Sunday, right?" ask Risa again. He became curious because Ira had previously mentioned about Irsyad. Same with Ira. Had they known that Kila wanted a vacation so as not to think about Irsyad. However, Kila became rethinkable because her two best friends alluded to Irsyad.

"Ooh.., that's me asking. You see, I feel my script is still on the spot. So, need inspiration with a few days vacation. Irsyad is so busy that he can't come. And I can't back down the day after that because I feel like I have to hurry to the beach to get sane again" answered Kila honestly. He didn't lie, but his words were inaccurate. He deliberately refrained from telling it to Ira and Risa because he felt he was still able to keep it to himself.

"Uuh..., must be the problem is really heavy, huh? The spirit is, Akil!" Ira was encouraging.

"Spirit, Kila! If you feel like there's something we can help you say, yes!" susul Risa replied.

"Yes, we're always ready if we need a storymate, okay, Akil."

"That's a lot, guys. You guys are so nice. I'll buy you a lot of souvenirs, for you."

Reading the word "by-by" makes them happy. Soon after, they started making video calls. Ira started it first. Kila had no reason to refuse to assume the call. There is nothing wrong with also chatting for a while to eliminate the thoughts that burden Kila. The problem of the thesis can be continued later.
