Best Teacher And Me
"Sir Irsyad"


Two days after the wedding. Kila was still staying at the Irsyad family home, but as usual Irsyad who always gave up on Kila by sleeping on the sofa.


Irsyad, on the night after the walimah woke Kila for tahajud prayers. But, when Kila woke up and went straight to the bathroom, she found herself who had just come by the moon. Al results, he only woke up but could not be imami by Irsyad.


As now, he woke up to witness Irsyad going to the mosque for dawn prayers. At that time, Irsyad no longer woke Kila because he did not want to disturb Kila. Irsyad just left without knowing that Kila also woke up. They still feel like strangers, even though they are married.


Irsyad met Farhan at the mosque. He will talk to Farhan after he finishes praying.


"Assalamu'alaykum, Farhan," said Irsyad.


"Wa'alaykumussalam, Brother," replied Irsyad.


"You didn't show up at my wedding, did you? You see, I don't see you" asked Irsyad.


"Come here, same Yuli both. Just did not have time to say congratulations to brother and Kila, because he said Yuli hurriedly. So, I'm just like Yuli to eat, brother. It is not possible that we did not come even though we have been invited directly to Irsyad, hehe," replied Farhan. He lied, two-faced again.


"All right then. The important thing is that you came because you were invited. Oiya, me and Kila will go on vacation together later. What do you and Yuli want to buy?" irsyad. Now they're walking towards the road home. Erwin left a little too because they walked while talking.


"You want a honeymoon? Why should it be exhibited? Why should I be upset to hear it too?" inner Farhan.


"I don't want to be loved by you, brother. Later even you guys do not focus on enjoying the holidays," replied Farhan trying to be ordinary to respond.


"You're not what you used to be, Han. Take it easy, I will definitely buy something as a gift for you and Yuli. Oiya, next time let's go on vacation together," asked Irsyad. Farhan must endure her pain when Irsyad casually tells her to take a vacation together later.


"Yes, sister, hehe," Farhan replied laughing as he scratched his non-itchy head.


"If you may know, brother will be there until when? Don't you have to go back to Turkey, huh?" ask Farhan.


"Yes, the rest of the time I'm here is only six days. We will spend only five days on vacation" Irsyad replied.


"Oiya, you're on campus with Kila, right? So his senior again means, dong," asked Irsyad.


"Hehe, yes, Brother."


"Then, brother asked for help you do not hesitate to teach Kila about anything in the lecture, yes. The girl rarely asked in my class, I was worried. You see, in High School and college the system and everything changed. Take care of Kila as well as you guard Yuli from behind," pinta Irsyad.


Farhan felt she got permission from her husband straight away, she felt she could fight again.


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


Kila and Farhan packed up his luggage last night. This time they will travel together, again. Although not the first time, Kila was still nervous. Moreover, they would alone might even sleep in the same bed.


"You're exhausted, right? Let's just take a break today to enjoy the beach." They had arrived at a five-star hotel near the beach. Their destination was indeed to the coast, Kila who chose his place.


"Sir, who would be exhausted if they had seen a good beach view like this? Maybe it was my father who should rest. You see, father, right, who from earlier brought our stuff. I am not in foster love. If so, I will give back the words of my father. You're exhausted, right? It's better to take a break today" Kila told Irsyad. Kila who was chatty at once very surprising Irsyad, the article Kila never much to say. It is usually Irsyad who speaks a lot.


"Yes, I'm tired too. But at least we'll rest. Not all day, one or two hours. You haven't eaten either. If you are in a hurry to play on the beach, later you can fall because of the heat," Irsyad replied. Kila wanted to obey, but he did not know where to rest himself. Kila finally came out towards the veranda facing the beach. Enjoy the breeze and the swish of the waves.


Irsyad followed Kila to the porch, then sat down on the bench that had been provided. He could see how excited Kila was now, looking at her happy face never fade. Irsyad seemed to be infected with the atmosphere made Kila, happy follow.


"Crazy, there's something I want to talk about. Just for a second." Irsyad started talks to get closer to Kila.


"Speak what, sir?" ask Kila.


"Looks like, what you're thinking is bothering me. When you called me 'father', I was like an old man. But I don't really mind the name 'Sir'. Like I also abbreviated your name to 'Kil' or Ira that makes its own call to you that is 'Akil'," said Irsyad. He stopped for a moment, not understanding what he was saying. He is an Indonesian teacher. He was nervous for a moment as Kila turned around to face herself.


"Continue, Sir? What do you want me to call you?" ask Kila. He was also waiting for this moment to be discussed, and fortunately Irsyadlah who started it.


"I have no problem with your 'Sir' call. I know, you are not used to changing the call yet, nor do I want to force you to call him right away if you are not ready. But, for the word 'Father' do not you say. I feel older, and offended," Irsyad replied hesitantly. Laughter Kila inevitable. Her husband's behavior turned out to be adorable like this.


"Okay, I get it. Just practice, yeah. You happy with a call like this, sir? Or would you like to describe you as young? I'm sorry, sir, I'm being spontaneous and rude." Kila originally wanted to punish Irsyad. But at the end, when stared at by Irsyad he immediately died of lice.


"It's okay, it's better. But I want you to be as relaxed with me as you are with your mother or your two best friends. Do not use standard language. If I do this is the habit of speaking, because Indonesian teachers usually have to use the default language so carry on. Can you be more relaxed when you talk? If I may ask for more, I want you to talk to me like you talked to Farhan. But, I do not insist if it is considered burdensome for you. I just want our status to be clearer with the change of mention. I am no longer your teacher and you are no longer my student. I want to clarify our legitimate status as husband and wife" said Irsyad frankly as usual. The red hue on Kila's face he couldn't cover. Irsyad's honesty was the cause. Instantly there was a sensation like a butterfly was flying in the stomach area of Kila. And Kila was happy to feel that sensation.


"If so, Brother Irsyad...? Kila can call that, right, sister?" ask Kila hesitating. Irsyad with a fluffy smile responded while nodding. That is what Irsyad means, fortunately Kila is quick to understand and sensitive.


"Sister Irsyad, Kila would eat first if that's it." Kila wanted to calm her heart for a moment. Just changing the mention, why does it feel so sweet and romantic?


"Sister Irsyad.." Inner Kila. He could not stop thinking about the new call.
