Best Teacher And Me
Returnees

Irsyad has finished his meal and will soon return to his home. After saying goodbye, he continued his journey. Abdominal

already very full due to grandmother who forced Irsyad to taste all

food that has been served. But that didn't take away the torn-up bread he had.

“Assalamu’alaykum, Irsyad Home. Mother, this is the groceries you asked to buy earlier.” Irsyad entered the house that already showed Citra and Erwin who was sitting in the living room.

“Wa’alaykumussalam,” both Irsyad parents replied.

“You haven't eaten, have you? There was a mother set aside food for you, there in the closet, take aja.” Citra offers, while bringing the groceries that have been given Irsyad. Actually, the groceries are stock items that have been used up for the needs of children who charge at the cost belonging to the Irsyad family.

Irsyad followed Citra, both of them wanted to go to the kitchen. But Irsyad went to the kitchen not to eat, he wanted to help his mother to arrange the groceries.

“Udah, let's go. You eat first, gih,” Citra offers back.

“Irsyad is full, Bun. Had time to stop somewhere because it was offered to join lunch with them.” Irsyad explained while tidying up the groceries in front of him.

“They are who you mean?” tanya Citra interrogates.

“Mother don't be too serious, don't be surprised either. Just a student guardian with Irsyad's students, really. Irsyad just happened to meet them, and happened to be the way home Irsyad and they were the same so Irsyad offered to cut Irsyad down at once. Uh, apparently offered to join their lunch as well. He said as a form of thanks them because Irsyad already wanted to offer a ride for them,” explained Irsyad.

“Ooh, so. But very funny yes, the form of thanks must be that form,” Citra responses.

“Iya, they are indeed a unique family, Bun.” Irsyad responded with a smile. The image did not continue discussing as it felt there was nothing strange about it.

Irsyad who had finished helping his mother immediately went to his room. He felt that today was so tiring, yet so much fun. He lay down his body, trying to rest by taking a nap. At least that way you can avoid her from thinking about that unique girl and family, Kila. He set the alarm thirty minutes before Ashar's time.

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

Irsyad came faster to school today. On any given day, he is the fastest teacher to come, what an exemplary teacher. He just wants to do his work that piles up on his desk. He was thoroughly meticulous to examine the duties of his students, judging objectively and non-compassionately. Therefore, many of the remaining books that he had not finished checking out from various classes that he taught. And now he is struggling with that while waiting for the lesson to begin.

It's time to get into IPS class 1. Now Irsyad understands the limits, but he will not be too far away from Kila like that time. He tried to get back to how he was, and just act normal.

After saying hello, Irsyad did his job as a teacher - giving the subject matter of course. This time he did not give any task, even though he was a teacher who never forgot to give the task every time he taught.

“Today I don't want to give you the usual kayak duty?” ask Risa.

All the students in the class immediately did not understand what Irsyad said. Especially with a task, he said. Moreover, they know that this Irsyad is not a person who messes about the task.

“What do you mean, anyway? Like, one class no one understands what you mean, deh.” Ira ventured to speak out, representing everyone in the class.

“Then, I assign you to search for the meaning I said earlier. Not giving a task is a task, your job is, look for it. I wait ten minutes. Who can answer first I will treat you to eat, deh, let you guys more eager to find his year.” That was Irsyad's answer which resulted in students in the class getting panicked.

On the other hand, Irsyad covered his mouth with his hands, then turned towards the blackboard. He was satisfied to see the entire class he entered could be as sweet as this. He laughed behind that hand, deliberately covering it up because he was in serious mode right now. He did not want any students to know. Actually Irsyad intends a little ignorant today, and about not giving the task is indeed because the task you want to give has been completed in the last week.

Kila is different, she is not as sweet as all her friends. Yes, before Kila realized that Irsyad was trying to be ignorant, anyway. Kila is a clever student, though he is forgetful. However, with the nature of the forget, he kept a journal about the materials in each lesson, including this Indonesian lesson. So, he soon learned that today's material had been given its job last week. Kila was very panicked at first. But the look on Irsyad's face that changed when Risa and Ira who began to ask questions, already signifies Irsyad's ignorance.

Kila was initially panicked because of Irsyad's ignorance, but he was also happy. It seemed that his usual youth had already returned. Kila always liked that, especially when Irsyad laughed cheerfully. Her blissful revelation somehow spread to Kila.

“Alright, it's been ten minutes. Time out, please collect your tasks,” said Irsyad trying to hold back laughter.

“Sorry, Sir. I interrupted,” now Kila talk. He also felt a little sorry for his friends.

“Ya, please, Kila,” Irsyad replied.

“Looks like I can answer, Sir. But I didn't write it. So, I can't collect. I also think that tasks like this should not be written.” Kila said with a stand and a look towards the floor. After all, he had dared to stare at those two hazel eye beads. He may have misunderstood her feelings.

Irsyad nodded and paid his full attention to Kila. It signified that Kila was already welcome to mention the answer.

“As you said, today there is no task. That's what you did because you gave this material task last week. Then, he said again, not giving a task is a task, because we do not understand the meaning we are assigned to it. It seems like this is a mere ignorance of the Father and the Father is trying to play the words. But I can answer it. Not giving a task is a task, meaning you want to assign us to find out why you do not give a task today. And the task of knowing the meaning of no task has been completed, as well as the task of that meaning. So, Mr.”

“Akil, what are you talking about, anyway? I don't understand at all, even more dizzy, you know,” said Ira responded loudly. Irsyad's laughter broke. He did not think this could happen, there was only this student.

The majority of the disciples understood what I meant, as well as Ira. It's just that Ira likes it that way.

“Alright I'm satisfied laughing, thanks, yes. You guys really comforted me today. And for you, Kila, I am satisfied with your answer. It seems like you also played the word to answer earlier, it makes no difference to me. But it doesn't matter. You still receive food from me. To be complete, you meet me after school near the musholla, yes. If in the room I do not feel alone in a closed room like that,” Irsyad explained.

Not long after that, the bell rang a sign of a change of lesson. And Indonesian language learning hours enabled by Irsyadpun

it ends.
