Best Teacher And Me
Nabila Family

It's been two weeks since Irsyad gave Kila the necklace, and now their relationship is getting friendly. From that day on Irsyad endeavored to receive the prayer of the witir even though he had to be extra in his work tomorrow. They also sleep without distance, clutching each other.

"Continue studying or not, it's back to you. I also want to take my right if you're really ready" Irsyad said before going to bed. The two of them clenched each other, telling stories before actually sleeping to get more familiar with themselves.

"Hak?" ask Kila.

"You're so innocent, Kila. How many years have we been married?" Irsyad laughs at Kila. After saying so, Kila finally knew Irsyad's intentions.

"We haven't lived together for a year. Kila was also just a month more pointy hair Kila, and even then just want to sleep. It's only natural that Kila doesn't know what Irsyad's sister means!" deny Kila stutters, her cheeks blush.

"Yes, I know. Anyway, we don't have to rush either. I have never dated, nor have I ever dated you. Instead, we enjoy the time to date first. Feel the steps that are usually done by a couple. From simple to complex. First hand grip, hug, kiss hand, kiss forehead, kiss bi—"

"Bi-can only if you want to date first," broke up Kila before Irsyad continued the speech that leads to more intimate talks. Irsyad's words had to hang because Kila cut them. Of course Kila's cheeks are getting flushed at this time.

Irsyad was content to make Kila blush like a boiled crab. I want it to feel like he's playing Kila, but time can't be friendly now. It's time to close your eyes, because they usually sleep at this hour. Thirty minutes late from the hour they usually sleep.

"Well, we better get some sleep now. I am so sleepy today. We'll continue tomorrow, okay?" irsyad said. Then Kila nodded and did not bother too much about the topic of conversation earlier. He was also tired all day taking care of his online shop.

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

Nabila and Irsyad now routinely meet on Mondays to Fridays in crowded places of course. The meeting usually lasts only an hour or less. The rest, Nabila sent the results of his work that had been discussed at the meeting by email. Nabila has Irsyad's contacts, but he is forbidden to contact Irsyad via it if it is not really important. The content of their chat messages is just a meeting hour that often changes according to the empty time between the two.

This month Nabila saw something else from Irsyad. And that's enough to make Nabila think.

"My feeling or what, huh, sir? There's a ring on my finger. And every time we meet, you wear it. I guess I didn't wear a ring at the time. But strange, why put the ring on the little finger?" ask Nabila in between work that has been rather relaxed.

"Don't talk about rings. Let's get this over with. You also have business after this, right?" irsyad declined to discuss the matter.

"Yes, sir."

Asking that already drained Nabila's courage. Because, all this time he was always disturbed by the ring on Irsyad's finger. But Nabila believes that it is not a wedding ring. Because Irsyad wears the ring on the little finger, not on the ring finger. But still it bothers Nabila. Want to ask more will be too reluctant for Nabila because Irsyad has been evasive before. Anyway, Nabila could not casually ask about privacy.

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

Today Irsyad had two meetings at once at the same place, a cafe&resto. Meet with students who want to ask for advice on the authorship of the thesis, and will meet Nabila after a gap of one hour.

Now Irsyad is meeting his students. At a glance Irsyad saw there was Nabila who had just entered this place. But he is not alone. He was with two people who Irsyad thought were both Nabila's parents. Chances are, Nabila did the same with Irsyad, necessitating meeting on two agendas at once.

Their seat was not far from Irsyad's. The three of them were unaware of Irsyad's whereabouts probably because they were sitting on their backs to Irsyad. If it had the intention to hear the three-man speaker, their chatter would have definitely sounded clear from such a close distance.

"It's money for this month. If you want more money to build a business, you can tell me. I'll give you the money.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Gilang. You're so nice. For now it seems unnecessary. I work as a part-time employee and the pay is good too. Moreover, you have given me a lot of money, I have also started buying investment tools for my other freelance work. Maybe there is no time to build a business. Hehe."

"Sir Gilang? What coincidence? His voice was also, as is familiar," inner Irsyad. He had no intention of eavesdropping, but indeed their chatter was clearly heard to Irsyad's ears.

They then ordered food first. No conversation took place as long as they ate.

Nabila often told her other activities besides working part-time to help Irsyad. He also occasionally talks about his family. About him who always set aside time to meet someone on holidays with his mother also he told Irsyad. Sometimes also have to meet the person on weekdays, so Nabila often permission to shift the time of meeting with Irsyad as it is today.

"Mas Gilang, I know you're tired of hearing this. Thanks again, yes."

"It's okay. It's my obligation. After all, you are my family."

Two people who thought Irsyad Nabila's parents were facing to the side. How surprised Irsyad, Gilang was his in-laws while the woman was the person he had suspected with Kila at that time as well as his mother Nabila. Irsyad saw them so close by showing a smile and casually his mother Nabila put her head on Gilang's shoulder.

"Astaghfirullah.., what the hell is this? Mas's? The family? Monthly money? And then, why are those two people so close? Yes Rabbi, do not make the servant prejudiced," the inner Irsyad fretted. Next he tried to be as privileged as he could.

Shortly after they finished the meal, the two men left Nabila. Seen Gilang's hand in the hand held by the woman. Most likely, Gilang will one car with the woman.

Irsyad began to be out of control of his emotions, even though it had been many times Istighfar. He reflexively clenched his hand as a form of his anger.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Irsyad. I'm very helped." The meeting with the students is over. After the two men left, soon the student who was with Irsyad left.

As his anger intensified, Irsyad decided to cool his head with ablution water. When he wanted to go to the mushalla toilet, he had to pass through the chair where Nabila was sitting. Yes, Nabila waited at the place while the time of his meeting with Irsyad arrived. There were still thirty minutes left, so Nabila chose to wait at the meeting place without coming with her parents.

"Sir Irsyad?" said Nabila slowly when he saw Irsyad pass him.

When surprised, Irsyad he met from the inside, not from outside the restaurant. That means, Irsyad has been here since before he arrived.
