Best Teacher And Me
Serious Talks?

Shortly after the departure of Kila and her two best friends, Yuli and Farhan had also returned from Irsyad's home. Now, Irsyad receives interrogation stares from both her parents.

"What was that, Irsyad? Are you going to Turkey? Why didn't you tell me you tried the scholarship? What about Kila? Then, about Kila's grandmother's last message, you're still waiting for a response from Kila's parents, right?" The image speaks firmly.

Irsyad had told all related to Kila the day after Citra found out that Irsyad and Kila were students and teachers of the events of that time. Irsyad did it of course with the aim that Citra did not wonder anymore about Kila directly. It was also so that Irsyad could be controlled if his feelings would make him forget his status with Kila, because there were already his parents who he told everything.

Irsyad's parents' response was especially Citra when Irsyad told the agenda of his visit to Kila's parents' house at that time, it was very surprising and fun. That is why Citra is getting closer to Kila.

"Bun, Irsyad can't think about the problem all the time. The scholarship was in front of Irsyad's eyes, so there was no harm if Irsyad tried. And Alhamdulillah passed in the administrative selection stage. Irsyad hopes to graduate until the final stage. Irsyad also wants to be a good leader with a good education. Even if you continue to be with Kila, Irsyad's mind always leads to him. Irsyad is afraid that Irsyad's feelings for Kila continue to grow as we meet. So Irsyad wants to keep a distance first" said Irsyad.

"What do you mean Irsyad? So you also stated that you have the same feelings Kila? Okay mommy is not angry, even mommy is cool if you are honest about that feeling. But, it's good, you ask clarity again to Kila's parents. If you keep waiting it won't be good. After all, you don't want to continue your doctoral education before marriage." The image conveys with implied threats in it. Irsyad immediately understood the meaning of Citra. He will soon meet Kila's parents to obey the mother. Nor can he leave without his mother's blessing.

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

The remaining holiday, Kila spent to think about Yuli's speech. Not noticeably, he had been sitting in the eleventh grade for one month. Irsyad is no longer his homeroom teacher, nor an Indonesian teacher. It also bothers Kila, he has not met Irsyad after the last time to Irsyad's house during the Eid. Kila also often visited Irsyad's house on weekends, but Irsyad was never seen. He felt anxious to meet Irsyad, to talk to her. Aaa... Kila misses Irsyad like that.

It is time to go home to school. Ira was still busy with her excursion on Saturday, so this time Kila decided to go home first on foot.

"Crazy? Aa, what a coincidence. I want to talk to you about something serious." Irsyad met in a corridor near the school grounds while stepping foot home. They're in opposite directions.

"Aa, Mr Irsyad? Assalamu'alaykum, sir. Me too, there is something I want to talk to you about, "kila replied holding back her happy feelings because she finally got to meet Irsyad.

"Wa'alaykumussalam's chat. Did ya? Then you go first" said please.

"Sorry I'm presumptuous, sir. At that time I heard Kak Yuli's words about Mr. who passed the administrative selection. I also accidentally heard when I was coming home from my father's house. If now, it means the interview test stage has passed. Are you really going to Turkey? If with the ability of the competent Father, I am very sure you will pass the selection and go to Turkey," said Kila slowly but still heard by Irsyad.

"It just so happens that I want to talk about something related to what you're talking about. So, can we talk to you for a second? I also very much want to let this to you from a long time ago," Irsyad replied enthusiastically.

"B-but, isn't this your business? You see, we meet like this because of the opposite direction. You want to fill in the exculp material, right? That was just a conversation that bothered my mind, really, sir. You don't have to explain it too much. I also do not want to hinder the Father," said Kila was not happy.

"Yes, we'll talk in my house. You can come after the prayer. This time I really need to talk to you about this. And I'm not lying that what I want to talk about is true with regard to what you're talking about. So, I'll wait for you at home. Oiya, we're not alone. There'll be a mother watching us talk, so you take it easy. Then I go first, yeah. Assalamu'alaykum," said Irsyad. Kila then continued her steps after answering Irsyad's greeting.

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

As Irsyad had ordered, Kila came to Irsyad's house. Imra immediately picked up snacks and drinks for Kila, then accompanied Kila and chatted. Shortly after, Irsyad went down and headed to the living room where Citra and Kila were sitting.

"Tomorrow what cake, Mother? I can't wait to make another cake."

"Tomorrow, caramel sponge like mother has never tried to make it with you, I guess. We'll do that tomorrow,"

"Sorry wait a long time, Kila," cried Irsyad.

The atmosphere became more serious due to the arrival of Irsyad. Because, Irsyad put up a serious face mimic like that time. Kila did not like the look on that face.

"How good are you now, Kila?" Irsyad started his chat, as usual frankly without further ado.

"It's been seventeen years, sir. Since March. What's up, sir?" answer Kila.

"Aa, what a pity. Your age is not allowed to marry. You are still in school, too" said Irsyad in a slightly disappointed tone.

"Married? Meanin?" ask Kila confused.

Irsyad then told her about her grandmother's last message to Kila. Then, Kila showed a very surprising expression. He also heard the conversation Irsyad and his grandmother at that time. But, Kila only heard the last part about the message that signified her grandmother talking about her death. But Kila did not hear the message at all. That was all, the previous conversation he had not heard them. Grandma, she really knows that Kila does like Irsyad.

"That meeting with your parents, I wanted to convey that message to them. I'm willing to fulfill the message my grandmother gave me, but your parents are still discussing it. I can't wait long. Because, like you said, I'm going to Turkey. And again, we should discuss this because you are still not old enough to get married and then I am going to Turkey for five years. Can you set a time so we can meet your parents together?" Irsyad.

"Huh? What is the purpose of this serious talk really??" batin Kila was very surprised.
