Best Teacher And Me
The Excessive Attention

Since the nightmare that approached Kila at that time, he turned more and more attention to his grandmother. For now, Kila can forget her love for a moment to Irsyad. The first Monday since the nightmare, in each lesson Irsyad he tried not to stand out like in other lessons. Trying not to get drawn up in his imagination who has always admired everything about Irsyad. And divert it by doing activities that he likes or just ask the news of the grandmother in the empty hours and hours of rest.

As now, in the empty hours that many students like by going to the cafeteria or just seeing the next class is not done by Kila. He goes briefly to Ira and Risa to tell her to call him when the teacher has come because he will focus on asking his grandmother in a chat message.

“Grandma, what else?” kila started the chat.

“Ten minutes ago you also asked the same thing,” reply grandma.

“Hehe. Grandma, Kila's free class again, this. Because there is no work, Kila chat granny.” Kila replied with a laugh emoji beside her. When she wanted to type something again to her grandmother, Risa called to give a sign that the teacher had entered the classroom. He also saw at a glance that the teacher who entered was not a real-pkn subject teacher, but Irsyad his Indonesian language teacher and his homeroom teacher.

“Shortly, Grandma. We'll connect again. Teacher Kila has arrived.” Kila typed in the closing chat, while Irsyad was already in front of Kila. Kila is a little relaxed because usually Irsyad also does not mind students who see his mobile phone as long as he is not explaining a subject matter.

Seen there was a reply chat from grandma, “That's it, right, the teacher came. If not hours of rest, you do not need to hold a mobile phone let alone chat grandma. You see, your school almost never lets empty hours last long. Grandma also knows about her granddaughter friend grandma story to grandma.”

“Siap, Mother. Suggestion received,” reply Kila without reply from grandma. It seems that grandma understands while the person in the chat does not stop replying to the chat, then Kila will continue to reply as a good response. But because Kila said that her teacher had come, she no longer wanted to reply to the message that Kila had responded so that Kila would not reply to her again. And true, Kila immediately saved his mobile phone because there was no reply from the grandmother.

“Fadli, where is half the occupants of this class?” yang Irsyad full of assertiveness. The whole class was somewhat surprised by Irsyad's attitude, because Irsyad who was known to be relaxed now showed a firm face instantly.

“Sorry, sir, I don't know,” Fadli replied not daring to stare at Irsyad.

“How can you not know the whereabouts of your class citizens? Now you and the class device please find them, I give you 10 minutes. If it does not arrive, there will be consequences,” Irsyad command. Fadli, Risa, Ira and Desi then rushed out of the classroom looking for half of their class occupants who were not in the classroom. While walking, Fadli gave instructions for them to search in different places. Fadli to the cafeteria, Risa to the musholla, Ira to the school gate to ask the security guard, and Desi to the UKS. Ira, whose search location is far because of his excess stamina, even he himself proposed where he should look for his classmate.

On the other hand, Kila felt he had made a mistake. When Irsyad entered the classroom, Kila did not see the huffed look on Irsyad's face. Kila casually replies to the contents of his grandmother's chat by estimating that Irsyad will not make a problem. But what happened was the opposite. Irsyad seemed to show his dislike with the attitude of Kila earlier by continuing to look intently at Kila. Kila who felt stared at it chose to bow her head deeply.

“Afifah Syakila,” reprimand Irsyad.

“I, Sir,” answered Kila still with a head down.

In her reprimand, everyone in the class noticed Kila. He became the center of attention of the people in his class. Kila took a breath and exhaled her while stemming her tears from spilling.

“Sorry, Sir. I admit I was wrong. I will not repeat it again,” replied Kila admitted his mistake. Kila did not want to argue. It seemed that his admiration for Irsyad was beginning to fade away.

Before long, half of the class returned with the rest of the class less than ten minutes from what was ordered. Irsyad told them to stand in front of the class including the classroom devices.

“You know where your error is?” Irsyad. None of them answered. Instantly everyone looked down no one dared to look at Irsyad.

“No one answered? All right, let's sort this out. I will punish you guys my way,” exclaimed Irsyad. Then they flinch with pale faces. They were quite surprised by Irsyad's attitude.

“You guys please sit down. I will punish you when you sit down. Immediately carry out,” said Irsyad directly done them.

“I want the student who left the class because of the blank hour to write a mistake and promise not to repeat it, then reflect on the mistake, for the class device as well. I want that to be explained. Format the writing in hand written with a minimum of ten paragraphs. I will go to school and wait in my room. If I knew something wasn't blunting, I wouldn't be messing around. Okay, that's the punishment. I want you to do it really and really realize your mistake.” Irsyad explained the punishment to them. Irsyad did not really understand, what is with the number ten today that he repeatedly said.

Irsyad sat in his chair. The quiet atmosphere of the class resuscitated Irsyad, it seemed like he had gone overboard today.

“I know someone is surprised by my attitude. It's only natural that way. But I am also surprised by your attitude, in front of and behind me your behavior is different, reasonable too, dong,” said Irsyad with a relaxed tone. The awkwardness in class is reduced.

“I tell you, you're still in tenth grade. Forge yourself with good habits. Do not let the ugliness of IPS children label yourself. You don't have to behave like IPS child stereotypes society. In fact, you can prove the stereotype wrong. Please, no more IPS students in my class. My class is a good student, socialize properly. Remember there is no distinction between IPA and IPS classes here, they are all the same.

I as your homeroom teacher want the best for you. You guys don't assume that I'm this relaxed don't care about you guys, yeah. I've been watching you guys a lot. You are valuable students to me. Let's keep this good relationship together. I'm serious if I have to. I'm not a grumpy person, but that attitude I'll show you when you guys first lure him.” Irsyad explained at length.

“There's something I want to say. Every time I became a homeroom teacher, I would make home visits to each of my students. For that, prepare yourself. I hope by this I can get to know you guys better how at home and at school. So, chances are we'll be closer. Based on the absent number, I will visit your house. Afifah Syakila, you are the first.”
