UAS has passed. A long holiday is coming. Students feel relieved, but for a lecturer, when after UAS are tiring days because they have to check and provide grades, do not forget to give an achievement index to students who are taught.
The door to Irsyad's work room deliberately left open, it looks very busy Irsyad there. Kila who saw that took the initiative to serve bitter tea to Irsyad.
"Sister, Kila wants to go to my mother's house for a long holiday," Kila said when she saw Irsyad sipping his tea.
"Ooh, yeah, come on!" exciting Irsyad.
Kila seemed to think. After seeing Irsyad's busyness, he hesitantly agreed to Irsyad's call. "Sister, right, must check the UAS students," said Kila.
"Yes, right. Can't you wait any longer? We can go there together. I can't let you go there alone" Irsyad explained.
Instead of answering, Kila sat dumbstruck on the sofa in the room. Irsyad also sat down to compensate Kila. Kila who looks at a glance dreamy, left alone by Irsyad.
"I don't know why, Kila really wanted to meet Mama. It feels, if it is delayed continue like something is blocking," said Kila. His eyes were empty when he spoke.
Kila was feeling something about Riska. There was a strange feeling that Kila felt that was related to Riska. Unfortunately, Kila did not understand that feeling. Maybe, immediately meeting the mother will make him relieved.
"There's something you want to talk to Mama about, huh? What'sthat?" said Irsyad attentively, while pulling Kila's head leaning against Irsyad's chest. Kila's soft hair is also stroked to make the atmosphere calmer, and it may be easier to reveal the difficult to unfold.
"Kila don't know either, brother. But, I think there's something I have to tell Mama. But Kila didn't know what it was," Kila lirih replied.
Irsyad seemed to weigh the decision. His hand that had previously caressed Kila's hair, came to a halt for a moment.
"Hmm.., okay. Then you can go there first. I will definitely follow, really," said the final Irsyad after weighing the decision.
"Recommissioned, Brother? No papa if Kila goes alone?" asked Kila who was quite surprised by Irsyad's decision.
"Yes, you can go alone. Be careful on the road, yes," replied Irsyad, smiling.
Feeling relieved, Kila hugged Irsyad tightly and thanked him. Instantly, Irsyad was happy to be able to help Kila restore the mood.
"Want to eat out? I will be very lonely when I am left behind by you. So, we should spend some time together before you go to Mama's place first," bargained Irsyad a little shyly.
"Can, tuh. Come, Brother. Now, Kila's hungry, huh."
Irsyad smiled at Kila's behavior. The two soon went to the mall. They decided to eat and walk. That day their trip was delayed to this mall, now is the time to come back here.
I just had Kila Sumringah. However, his feelings even remembered with Riska. Already in the mall does not make Kila relax or enjoy her time with Irsyad. His mind went nowhere even though his body was in the mall with Irsyad.
Before long, Kila seemed to see a figure he knew. "Sir, just a second, Kila Kayak is there
Irsyad was surprised that Kila could see it as well. At once agitated something covered will be uncovered, then hurt Kila.
"Why did you meet again? Is it time they met? Is it time to give monthly money to the Nabila family? And again, why in this mall again? It shouldn't be here if you know they'll be here too" Irsyad's mind grumbled.
"Huh? Whereabouts? Maybe you saw it wrong" Irsyad's response avoided the truth.
"Yes, but Kila wants mastiin first."
Seeing Kila insist, Irsyad also insisted. "It's better not to, later you disturb the comfort of the person," prevent Irsyad who looks suspicious in Kila's eyes.
"Why is Brother Irsyad trying to prevent? In fact, right, there is only samperin and pastiin," Kila's mind is suspicious. However, Kila remained in compliance, he continued his steps to walk around the mall.
They ended up sitting at a fast food restaurant in the mall. Not healthy according to Irsyad, but he will still eat because Kila chose his place. The other thing because seeing Kila is so voracious that it arouses his appetite.
Soon, they finally finished eating. Stay where it used to be so that the food is digested first and then continue to walk. However, Kila suddenly felt like urinating because of drinking too much. "Sister, Kila wants to go to the toilet first," Kila's permission quickly while standing up.
"Let me accompany," answered Irsyad no less quickly while standing up as well.
"Remain, Brother? You can't go into a woman's toilet" Kila responded.
"I mean, let me drive to the front of the toilet," Ersyad ralat while scratching his nape that does not itch. Then Kila agreed by nodding her head.
While on the toilet, Kila thought that Irsyad was a bit strange. "Sir Irsyad is weird, not as usual." thought Kila.
Irsyad was indeed aware of this strange change in his attitude. However, this he did in order to prevent Kila from knowing his own truth. Irsyad knew it would definitely take a hit for Kila. With Irsyad, at least Kila can find out the truth with Irsyad if it can not be hidden anymore. At least, Irsyad can be a means so that Kila does not fully blame the situation. Irsyad thought, maybe it's okay if being wronged by Kila will make Kila not suffer too much. Irsyad was ready to accept the anger of Kila who considered Irsyad to keep secrets and protect the bad deeds of Gilang.
During this time, Irsyad also did not calm down because it hid something from his wife. Because, he had previously promised to communicate everything to Kila. He will hide the truth again today, but he is ready if this truth will be known to Kila. He is ready with all the risks he has to accept.
Irsyad also did not intend to expose the disgrace of the in-laws, but if Kila asked the truth, Irsyad was ready to answer honestly. At least he was determined to do that. Tidka knows what's going to happen in the future, right?
In addition to making a determination, he also made other efforts. Everything that occurred to reduce the pain Kila he did. Like calling his ringleader for a discussion. When Irsyad and Kila ate earlier, Irsyad secretly sent a short message to Nabila. Tell Nabila to see Irsyad if there is a chance, to discuss. When Kila wanted to go to the toilet, that was where her chance came. Irsyad told Nabila to meet him near the toilet. It was a little far from there so that Kila was not too suspicious.
Actually he could have discussed with Nabila through a chat message, but he was not good with Kila. When eating like that, if he is constantly holding the phone will definitely remind Kila about how the Kila family eats. Eating is family quality time. Moreover, their meal he did to spend time together before Kila went first to Riska's house. Irsyad just doesn't want to mess it up.
"Aaa, see you again Mr. Irsyad."
"I also wouldn't want to see you if it wasn't this important, Nabila."
