Best Teacher And Me

Best Teacher And Me
Wedding Ring


Talking with Nabila makes Kila feel guilty for the misunderstanding that ever happened. Knowing Nabila makes Kila feel very unsuitable compared to Irsyad, because seeing how good the two people are compared to him. Irsyad only acted as a good lecturer to Nabila as his student, then Irsyad was also a good man who helped foreigners.


Kila now thought, Irsyad is a good lecturer, the best teacher. His kindness was so sincere just to help Nabila. There is no intention other than that. Then, Kila felt the best teacher and himself was no longer suitable in juxtaposition from the beginning. Why does Irsyad's good attitude always make Kila misunderstand? Why does every Kila know how good Irsyad is, he is even inferior? Only Kila can't keep his attitude.


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


It has been almost a week since his meeting with Nabila at the Japanese restaurant. Thinking about what Nabila said, many times made Kila feel even more reluctant to reattach their wedding ring. She felt unworthy of the task of being the wife of a good teacher like Irsyad. If this is so, why does he always think it is appropriate and inappropriate?


"Kila, said Mother tomorrow your parents want to come visit Mother's house. He said, there's something to talk about." Irsyad lay on the bed, where Kila had already been. It was time for them to sleep.


"Yeah? How come Mama didn't go to Kila, huh?" kila's response was shocked. This is very sudden, especially Riska and Gilang choose the same day as the day usually Irsyad and Kila visit Citra's house. This must have been planned.


"Surprisingly, because they must be busy," continued Kila in his heart. Then, Kila was a little dreamy. He did not realize that Irsyad was watching his hand. Upon awakening, Kila stood up from the bed and hid her hands behind her.


"What's Irsyad's sister going to do?" ask Kila. Then, Irsyad also stood up, looking back at Kila's hand that had been hidden.


"I want to see your hand" replied Irsyad. Kila hid her hand. Getting such a reaction, Irsyad was getting closer. Made Kila retreat to the corner of the wall. And Kila can't back down anymore.


"Duh, sister, Kila is ashamed," said Kila. It was difficult to hide something at the same time he also experienced something that both equally pumped his heartbeat faster.


"Not to be ashamed. I'm okay, really. I just want to see" said Irsyad, looking into Kila's eyes.


"For what?" ask Kila. He did not dare to look back at Irsyad.


"To make sure of something" Kila replied.


"Crazy! Please don't hide it anymore!" Irsyad confirmed the voice because Kila never showed her hand. Then, Doubtfully Kila relaxed her hand, then let Irsyad grab her.


"I guessed it," said Irsyad somewhat disappointed.Kila just looked down, not daring to see the disappointed look of Irsyad.


Kila's hand is no longer Irsyad. Now, Irsyad grabbed Kila's hair with her right hand. Then, surprisingly Irsyad kissed Kila's hair for a long time. Kila could only remain silent with her heart racing.


Irsyad's disappointed look mixed with sadness. There was anger that gnawed at his heart.


"You're not wearing our wedding ring? Wh why? Though you have willingly shown your hair to me" whispered Irsyad directly to Kila's ear. Irsyad still holds Kila's hair. Play it for a moment by stroking or twisting that beautiful hair.


Kila doesn't understand Irsyad. He was strange, speaking in such a manner to Kila. Whispering directly while playing it Kila's hair, made Kila feel an unnatural sensation, and it somewhat irritated Kila. Kila who was originally lowered now straightened her head. Meanwhile, Irsyad's head was still beside Kila's ear to whisper something else.


"Aa..., I'm sorry, again this bad trait is taking over." Irsyad seemed to be aware of the trance. Then, rewind his steps slowly away from Kila, giving room for Kila.


After Irsyad took a few steps back, Kila looked down again. Prepare to respond to Irsyad's words.


"Kila. After all, the ring was just an object that became a status symbol, right? If not, it will not change our status. After all, many couples out there don't want to wear their wedding rings, but their households are fine, huh." Kila hesitated at the beginning for lying. Then, his tone at the end showed an unfriendly attitude.


"What about Irsyad himself? I don't wear it either!" firmly Kila.


"Astaghfirullah, what did I say? Why am I challenging him?" batin Kila.


"We better get some sleep now, brother. Fear of not being able to wake up for tahajud later," Kila ended and returned to lay her body.


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


Kila had made a bitter tea and was preparing to welcome Irsyad home from the mosque. Last night's trouble wasn't thought to have happened by Kila. The other with Irsyad.


"Crazy, I'm sorry for my attitude last night. I can tell you why I'm not wearing our wedding ring, but when we get home, okay?" irsyad. After saying hello and sitting at the dinner table.


Kila grabbed Irsyad's hand as usual, then Irsyad kissed Kila's forehead. There's something unusual about Irsyad's hand. Now he saw their wedding ring perched there. Kila continued to watch that hand.


"This, I want to wear from now on. Starting today because we will meet your parents. I want to show them both that our marriage is no longer bound by the promise that ever existed. I am free to have you all. Should have been free to show off our marital status, too," said Irsyad who understands Kila's actions as implying questions.


"It has been a month since your graduation, I know for sure that we need to be familiar with our new status. Because previously it was accustomed to the status of teachers and students who shackled. However, I want you to get used to re-wearing our wedding rings. Can, right?" say soft Irsyad.


"Why, Brother? Is it because we're going to see Mama and Papa?"


"Like imaging, huh? I'm not forcing you to."


"No, Brother. Kila wants to, really. We'll be wearing our wedding rings from today." Hearing such an answer, a beautiful smile appeared on Irsyad's lips. Followed by Kila who also smiled when she saw Irsyad's smile.


Irsyad has opened the door for Kila to accept Kila's status as Irsyad's wife. From today Kila will be more confident putting their wedding ring on her ring finger. Show off her marital status. By wearing the ring, Kila was reminded of how lucky she was to be the wife of a great teacher like Irsyad. It was because of Irsyad's sincere words that had awakened Kila. Speech that implicitly provides a lesson for Kila.
