Best Teacher And Me
Two Predominant Thoughts

Somehow the story goes, Kila was very lucky because he immediately got a boarding room the day he decided to leave his house. He also easily felt at home anywhere, although only one day he lived in the room.

Again, there was relief he felt as well as awkwardness. Kila daydreams about the problems at home. Then he stared for a moment around his class, staying who had not left the class. Even though it has been time for all students to go home, in addition to students who participate in extracurricular activities. Kila familiarizes herself after the dzuhur prayer in musholla then returns to her class to enjoy the atmosphere of solitude. Exactly, since grandma's gone. Because only here he can enjoy the atmosphere of solitude, safe without burden.

Kila switched, Irsyad now dominates his mind. Kila remembered very well, in this class, in the seat he was sitting in, at the table he looked at, the distinctive smell of this dusty classroom Kila remembered with someone who invited him to berta'aruf. But it was a mere Kila misunderstanding. Yes, Kila just misunderstood the phrase "ta'aruf" that said from the tiny mouth of the man. Moreover, the one who said that sentence was Irsyad, the man who was able to bewitch Kila with his voice and fell in love the first time he met her.

"Where is your house? There's something I want to talk to your parents about." There was the voice of a man who then broke Kila's daydream with a question. Then with a stutter he saw where the voice came from and turned his face and lowered his gaze immediately because he knew what he saw was a man. Kila then blinked her eyes many times, she began to be aware of the question the man was asking. What do you mean by the question he asked? Did Kila have made a mistake with him to have to ask for an address and want to meet with all parents. Moreover, instead of the man had already visited Kila's house, then why ask?

"Sorry, Sir. If I am wrong I apologize. My father mending law alone rather than having to meet with my parents to explain my attitude in school. I'm afraid that my Papa will be angry, sir." Kila lowered her gaze. However, there was a clear wry laugh. Then slowly it turned into a loose laugh. It seemed like the man was instead laughing at Kila with satisfaction.

"I just wanted to visit him both because of my agenda as your homeroom teacher, Kila. Friendship between parents and homeroom students. Come to think of it, I've never met your parents. Your overreaction is funny. I can't stop laughing. HAHAA..." Irsyad answered and his laughter grew.

Kila instead fell silent and went back into his mind, only this time he saw Irsyad laughing loosely up close. Irsyad is not a handsome teacher who is cold like an idol teacher in general, he is handsome but he is so warm and easy to smile but also difficult to guess. But seeing Irsyad's laughter this close made his heart beat unnaturally, making him realize that his admiration for Irsyad had exceeded normal limits. This closeness reminded Kila as Irsyad held her tightly at that time. Kila hurriedly put away that strange thought.

"Well that's it, sir. Please come. My home address remained the same as I made on the self-introduction paper you told me to make a class at the time. You do not need to ask back because you have visited there. And not only that, all the information in it is also complete, really, sir, if you want to know more." Kila broke the teacher's laughter.

"Emmm... Is it true that your most precious person is a grandmother, not a father or a mother, or both, or a family? You see, one class answered that," asked Irsyad again to Kila.

"I'm confused, sir. Why is everyone asking me that. I think in the information you asked for at that time it was very clear. I don't want to talk about grandma anymore, sir." Kila's tone changed into a sad thing to remember grandma back. Kila has been trying to be sincere about the passing of grandma, but we all know that everything needs a process.

"I am so sorry, Kila. But don't be sad for long. It's also been 40 days." Irsyad was encouraging after a moment of silence.

"Um, I'm working on something, sir. Thank you," Kila answered with a nod.

"Thank you back."

"For...?" Kila scrunched his forehead.

"Thank you answer. Haha, you freak."

"Hmm, I'm weird, huh, sir?"

"Yes, but I like it."

"Likes...? What do you mean, sir?"

"I like you that way."

Actually, what Kila and Irsyad did was a small conversation between teachers and students, but why there is an ambiguous word that makes Kila increasingly misunderstand the words of Irsyad. "I like you said Mr. Irsyad ...? Yes Rabb, did you not mishear," said Kila.

"Crazy? Kil, Kila...? Why silent? Hey, I'm talking to you here." Irsyad tried to resuscitate Kila when her words were not touched by Kila and he even saw a little daydreaming.

"Eh, yes, sir? Why?"

"Is there something wrong with my words? Why silent? You were like daydreaming."

"Emm, no. Did you say you liked me? this is what this weird thing means?" ask Kila hesitating.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Ooh, so, sir."

"Yes." Yeah."

Again, if at that time Kila misunderstood the phrase "I want us to be 'aruf" from Irsyad, this time he misunderstood the phrase "I like you" from the person he admired. Moreover, the sentence is not finished, "I like you so" it needs to be underlined that his sentence continues to show that Irsyad likes it not him but his strange nature.

Kila is indeed a girl who is easily carried away by feelings about people's words, regardless of whether or not the words are good for her. Just look, he underlined important sentences related to his state especially his mood, no matter the real meaning and there are further sentences. Perhaps this was the fatal weakness he had, and could not be changed.

Irsyad felt that there was no more that he wanted to talk about, he also left the class.

"Then I stay first. Tell your parents that I will come. I want Ta'aruf's permission too. Okay well? Assalamu'alaykum." Irsyad said on the doorstep as he walked towards the teacher's office.

"Wa'alaikumussalam, sir." Kila replied with a weaker tone, there was another ambiguous word in the sentence that Mr. Irsyad thought. Is the word the same as it was before, or is there seriousness behind it. Kila was sure that this time he did not hear wrong and the follow-up sentence was also absent, so this time there was no way he could misunderstand. Argh.

"What if Mr. Irsyad goes home is not only the relationship between parents of students and homeroom guardians for friendship only, but also ask permission to share with me, hihi," he said.

While Irsyad, he actually already knew that Kila did not live in that house anymore. She thought Kila moved with her parents to another house. Apparently, he heard that Kila was snoozing. That means, his parents only moved, so he asked like that even though he knew Kila did not live in the same house anymore. Kila was also reluctant to tell Irsyad about her condition, and Irsyad also did not interfere too much with the affairs of the Kila family.

Irsyad himself has reason to meet with Kila's parents. He conveyed a message that only his grandmother had told him. He had an obligation to discuss it with Kila's parents. He also wanted to know how Kila's parents were, so he said that he wanted all of them to be 'aruf.
