Best Teacher And Me
Be engaged

It never occurred to Kila that she was so cowardly like this. He reasoned to want to see Mama, but in fact he wanted to escape from Irsyad's house.

"Ma.y..,"

"Un? Why?"

"Mama's actually happier after splitting up with Papa, right?" Kila made small talk and wanted to make sure.

"When what do you see? Mama looks healthier, fitter too. Mama's eye bags aren't as bad as they used to be because of workaholism."

"Thank God it was that."

"Not lonely?" ask Kila again. Riska started to get a little uncomfortable talking to Kila. Because, even though they are mothers and children, originally they rarely talk.

"If you are asked to be lonely, lonely, anyway" Riska replied.

"You want Kila Temenin? Every day Kila will stay here nemenin Mama," suggested Kila. This could be his reason for continuing to flee Irsyad.

"Don't, deh. How's irsyad? Then you will graduate soon. What's your thesis?"

In any case, Riska is still Riska, not grandma. How to respond to it does not change, always attach importance to things related to education. Not as sincere as grandma when responding.

"But Mama said she was lonely."

"Yes, loneliness. But, because there is busyness, Mama does not feel lonely, really. It makes no difference at that time, when Mama was still the same Papa. Same with myself as gini."

"Yes, that's it. Kila stopped by here aja, deh, let Mama not be lonely."

"You're happy if you want a phone call and a video call. Better, you focus on your thesis. You come here to do, again, it's usually also ngabarin through mobile."

"Kila miss the same Mama. After a drama-filled meeting that time, Kila didn't get to see Mama."

"Lebaran time, right, meet. How the hell are you?"

"It was, wasn't it, just for a second. After all, Mama even wanted to come to the house because it was directly picked up, right? In fact, it was Kila just nyampe. Uh, apparently Mama already wanted to get into the car of Mama's friend. Until we catch up again" Kila complained.

"Yes, really, anyway. You see, want to build a business from scratch with him. He did not enjoy Lebaran, anyway, so he had to go that day, too," explained Riska.

"If you haven't apologized to Mom yet. Sorry Kila, yes, Ma. Sorry for all the Kila's behavior that hurt Mama. Maafin Kila can not be a good child, who is devoted to Mama," said Kila. He wants to continue mellow discussing the details of the error. In fact, he wanted to sungkem right now. However, the Mama was not the type to be invited like that. He just assumed, after apologizing, everything was done. No need to bother mentioning in detail the mistakes made especially to want to silence everything.

"Yes, equally. Mama too, yeah, Kila."

Breakfast was ordered via food delivery shortly. Their conversation should end here because of the focus on spending breakfast.

He had prepared dinner at his house for Riska to eat. However, he did not eat dinner for fear of being too late back at Irsyad's house. He came home, and Riska could only nod in response.

It is impossible to expect the mother to behave like a grandmother despite Riska's birth child grandmother.

If it reminds me of what grandma will do, it makes Kila expect a lot from her mother. Grandma will definitely deliver to the front, say "be careful on the road" and say hello to Kila, then grandma will kiss Kila because she will be separated, proceed to gently rub Kila's head until she is satisfied. Again, my mother was not a grandmother. Kila could not hope for him.

"Assalamu'alaykum warahmatullahi. Kila's coming home" said Kila as she walked into the house. His mind was still left. If there is still a grandmother, Kila always goes into the house to say the full word.

"Wa'alaykumussalam warahmatullahi. You just got home? Eat first, yeah. I've been cooking," welcome Irsyad. Kila immediately crucified him, then Irsyad gave a kiss long enough on Kila's forehead.

What's up with Kila lately? He often thought of his grandmother. Knowing that the one who greeted him was not a grandmother, he was a little disappointed. He knew that Grandma was no more.

Or, Kila wants to feel at home? When Grandma was in it, it was home. Because he did not feel it when Riska lived in his house earlier, he wanted to feel it in this house.

"False, Mas. But, Kila had eaten with Mama earlier. Kila went to the room first, yes," said Kila lying and not excited. He immediately went to his room quickly. He did not care about his starving stomach.

"I haven't eaten yet. I didn't get any news that you were going home after Isya. I didn't know you didn't cook anything, didn't even leave any ingredients for me to cook. I buy it myself, I cook it myself. I offer you to eat my food, it turns out you have eaten. What do you want to show me? Argh..," said Irsyad. He hit the dinner table to vent his anger. Kila who had entered the room very clearly heard Irsyad's anger. Irsyad's voice was very loud, the whole house could hear it.

"Sorry Kila," said Kila slowly from behind the door.

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

The next day, Irsyad returned from the mosque after dawn. He wondered if Kila would welcome him as usual. He still wanted to copy Irsyad's hand and still received a kiss from Irsyad. Even though after that he seemed to hurriedly want to leave after getting the kiss.

"Umm.., Kila wants to continue the thesis work first, yes, sister," said Kila. It was like he wanted to escape from this situation.

"Kila, wait," intercept Irsyad.

Kila slept on Irsyad's back last night. However, Irsyad actually heard Kila's stomach sounding from hunger. He did not know for sure the wife had eaten or not. To be sure, Irsyad concluded that Kila was still hungry. Wanting to wake her up right then, she did not have the heart, coupled with her sense of regret towards Kila's previous attitude.

Irsyad is paying attention. Get close, then want to reach the top of Kila's head. Intending to wipe him, as he usually does, he is instead shown a Kila reflex that moves away one step to avoid. Irsyad was disappointed, his efforts to pay attention to the wife were even reciprocated like that. He clenched his hand which was still floating in the air, then he lowered it roughly.

"Food I cooked last night, eat it. I heard your stomach ring last night" said Irsyad somewhat annoyed. Though he had prepared a gentle tone of attention before.

"If you've eaten. Thanks, Mas. Kila entered again, to finish the thesis. Excuse me, Mas," said Kila.

"What's that attitude? Don't you act, Kila!" inner Irsyad upset.
