The student and homeroom meeting is over. Irsyad is very perfectionist by making the meeting the same as he did to other students, even though the situation is different even the place is not in the classroom. Grandma seemed quite satisfied with Kila's grades. As Irsyad said, Kila was ranked number one in her class.
Kila was not satisfied with the value he got. If shown to her mom and dad, they would be disappointed that Kila did not get perfect grades in all subjects. In his report, he only got perfect grades in economics, geography, religion and Indonesian language. The rest does not touch the perfect value, but fairly high because above the 90s.
It's too late now, and Irsyad has to go home. Maybe this is the last meeting, because they won't meet until the end of the school holiday.
"In that case, I will go home, first," said Irsyad.
"Sir, thank you for bothering to deliver my report card directly." Kila held Irsyad to bail. He deliberately did it to buy time so that Irsyad could be with him longer.
"Yes, Kila. Mom, you're lucky to have a granddaughter like Kila. She's a nice, understanding girl, a pain in others. She's smart, even she's a girl who apologizes to me a lot. I'll take it as luck to you. But, getting to know Kila closer like this was also a fortune to me. Ever since I got to know Kila and got to know her more when I met you, it ended up like now. I'm seeing Kila's nature that she didn't show to anyone but you. I'm glad to get to know Kila closer than I've been here all this time." Irsyad turned around and invited Grandma to talk for a while.
"You've been working so hard, Kila. If you need anything please do not hesitate to contact me. You also don't feel that this bothers me, it's part of my responsibility as homeroom teacher to help his students." Irsyad now switched to talking to Kila.
Kila looked down embarrassed, because Irsyad was heading towards the position of Kila standing up. After that, Irsyad took out his right hand pointing it towards the head of Kila. Then, Irsyad rubbed the head gently a few times. Irsyad took a few steps back, as he felt different things. In fact, he often rubbed his student's head as an expression of his appreciation. This is what Irsyad wanted to do with Kila. However, after he finished doing that, he felt a strange turmoil that he had never felt before like when giving that treatment to his other students.
Kila was very surprised and felt happy about Irsyad's treatment this time. The great throbbing he felt in his heart as Irsyad's hand gently rubbed his head. He tried to hold back the pleasure by making an expressionless face and lowered his head. He also related this is a common thing that Irsyad will do to appreciate his students. So, he will not misunderstand and think that Irsyad has the same feelings as him.
Irsyad expressed his words once again, nothing but to avoid if up to what Irsyad felt obvious from the expression of his face. Irsyad did not even realize he had passed a woman who had set foot in the grandmother's room.
"Ehm," deheman a woman. She was the woman who had set foot in the grandmother's room, just as Kila received a gentle swab on the head from the man-Irsyad. Anyone who sees it at a glance will suspect that they have a special relationship, including the woman.
"Mama? Mom since when did you come back?" Kila approached her mother, then kissed her mother's right hand as her filial form.
"Yes, it's been since. But to the house first new to the hospital," replied Riska.
"Why don't you tell me?" It was Grandma's turn to talk. Riska approached the grandmother and sat down on the chair beside the grandmother.
"As you can see" replied the grandmother.
"Thank God," replied Riska. He changed his eyes towards Kila.
"Crazy, who was that guy? What the fuck was that attitude? Until you rub your head. Mama said, can't you go out?" Riska spoke strongly to Kila.
"No, that's not Kila's boyfriend. Kila's not dating, Ma. He is a homeroom teacher who came to give Kila's report card because there is no guardian or parent who can take the report card in the morning," replied Kila firmly.
"Well, it's so special for you, until delivered directly to the report card. Because of that, you don't want your mom to take your report card, so you can get special treatment earlier, right?" Riska asked the sarcasm.
"Mama what, anyway? Just came to a one-sided conclusion. Besides, if Kila asks my mom to take Kila's report card, can you come directly to school? Mama is also busy lately, where can you leave a job just to take her son's report card that is not worth this much," replied Kila Ketus.
"He... means your grades aren't good, dong? Where, here mama look!" answer Riska insensitively with the words of Kila.
"Now, read as much as mom. Mama please be disappointed with the value that Kila got is not in accordance with your mother's expectations." Kila gave me the report. He was very upset with Riska's attitude that did not understand the purpose of Kila. Riska challenges by creating new conflicts. He wanted to get out of the room, because he didn't want to argue.
"Kila, wait. That guy is a teacher, you don't get too close to him. That man, the same person you were telling me about back then, right? You don't obey what mom says, do you? It is inappropriate for a teacher to be close to his student, let alone that you already like him, right? Stay away from her Kila, mama allows you to be close to anyone as long as you are not with a teacher. Society will consider the relationship taboo, and only satisfy one party, namely you as a person who utilizes closeness with teachers. It is considered wrong in the community, because the closeness must be the goal to facilitate grades or anything in school. You don't mess with our family names." Riska said firmly and sarcastically. Upon hearing the statement, Kila left by running away from the hot room.
"You can't be like that, Riska. Irsyad's son is a very good man. He won't get caught up in the special relationship between student and teacher as you might expect. She's very perfectionist in her work, "grandmother scolds Riska.
"Mom, take a break. Mom doesn't have to think about what I'm doing. What I said to Kila earlier was my way of educating children. Now I can leave Kila's business to me as her mother, and I focus on taking a break to speed up her recovery." Riska replied to grandmother's reprimand steadily. That made the grandmother did not want to interfere in the affairs of her children and grandchildren, because who became her mother Kila was not herself, but Riska.
Kila didn't know where to go, but Riska let the boy go. What he did instead was check carefully to find the flaws of Kila's report card.
