Second day of vacation. Kila and Irsyad spent time at the hotel where they were staying. Both of them are doing their own activities. Both read a book. Lunch later they will plan to dine at the restaurant overlooking the beach, a thrilling first date.
"Sister Irsyad, can Kila know the plan ahead of sister after we get married?" ask Kila. They finished eating while enjoying the beautiful beach view. However, they were still sitting there to make the rice that Kila and Irsyad had swallowed down first.
"yes too. That is the right question when berta'aruf. We play our roles first. I have now become a husband, when we establish a long distance relationship later, in the Lord I will try to continue to maintain our communication. I want you to live this relationship not because of coercion, so I want you to look at me more closely so that I can make you fall in love with me. You already know that I love you, so don't ask me again about why I married you. How about yourself?" answer Irsyad.
Plan ahead after marriage. That should be what Kila responded to. But Kila is intrigued by Kila's remarks about Irsyad saying about Kila's feelings when Irsyad is wrong about it. Kila prepared herself to express her feelings so that there would no longer be the same misunderstanding. Kila is also offended if it is said that he has not put his heart on Irsyad, even though he has long harbored that feeling.
"Sister, Kila is also happy that Kila's husband is Irsyad's sister. In fact, Kila first fell in love with Sister Irsyad. Starting from the first meeting, you know. Kila accidentally hit Irsyad, and when we make eye contact first. Maybe even, when we have not met, Kila has fallen in love with the adhan that Kak Irsyad made. Though Kila's movements have been clearly seen that Kila likes the same Sister Irsyad. In fact, while still shackled by the status of teacher and student, Kila secretly admired Sister Irsyad even more deeply, Kila admired all things about Sister Irsyad. Sometimes Kila also likes to think this feeling is just ordinary admiration for the figure of the best teacher like Kak Irsyad, but in fact it is not so. It was not just ordinary admiration, it was not a student's admiration for his favorite teacher, but it was an ordinary girl's admiration for a good man.
Ira, Risa, even grandma already knows that. About the last message or grandmother's will, surely because grandma knows that Kila likes Irsyad. And it turns out, Irsyad Kak figure a good man also according to the assessment of grandmother. Yes, my grandmother revealed the message. Kila was sure it was like the chronology until we were married now. Kila is sure because Kila knows the way of the grandmother's mind, Kila also already knows grandmother very well because of any story to grandmother. And Kila is very sensitive. Not like Kak Irsyad, the same feeling Kila just did not know when it was clearly read." Kila expressed her feelings at length, for some reason she became upset at the end of the story. Irsyad did not know there would be some kind of recognition from Kila, it was not at all expected Irsyad. He tried to digest with his new logic giving a response.
"Geez, Astaghfirullah Kila. What are you talking about? Give me time to digest your words" said Irsyad. Kila began to get annoyed with that response. Irsyad even paused long enough to think.
"So you've been harboring feelings for me all this time? Since when? When I became your homeroom teacher?" irsyad asked after digesting all of Kila's words through his logic. Kila then nodded in response to lazily, as she was still upset.
"If you can be honest, Kila was very happy when Kila's prayer was answered even faster than expected, he said. Because every third of the night, there is one prayer that Kila always tucked away to ask Irsyad to be a match with Kila, Kila,. Kila just wanted to tell me, anyway," said Kila who should have said with a happy tone was spoken in a jutek tone.
"Sister Irsyad himself, how can the story be love with Kila? Since when?" said Kila in a timid tone.
"Huh? Te-of course love since we got married. It is natural, husband and wife must love each other," said Irsyad. He can be nervous too if presented with questions that he could not expect to be thrown by Kila.
"The words of Brother Irsyad when we came home from my mother's house at that time, means that Brother Irsyad has not loved Kila?" ask Kila, now he changed to the pen detection mode.
"Cause, there is no right for me to love something that has not been lawful for me. But at that time it was true that I decided to marry you for harboring feelings for you," Irsyad said with full honesty emanated in his eyes.
"No, I'm not a perfectionist. I just keep the teacher professional. And I put my heart on you when I wasn't teaching. So, I did not violate my principles" said Irsyad straightened out, but instead caused a new misunderstanding.
"He. means true, dong. Brother Irsyad has indeed put the same heart as Kila when Kak Irsyad was still a teacher Kila. Want again not at school or outside school, if Irsyad Kak is still a teacher Kila ya still violate the principle of his name. Tell me, dong, brother. When's it? When did Brother Irsyad start putting his heart into Kila?"
"I don't know Kila" replied Irsyad. Disappointed Kila then rests her head on the table. He did not think that Irsyad did not know since when Irsyad began to put his heart on him, but he thought it was something important that everyone should remember.
"But.., since the various events that brought us to meet constantly makes me always think of you. Only you can make me very considerate with my own students. Like offering a ride, offering help to look after grandma, even I was so distracted just because you didn't notice me while I was explaining the material. There are even times when I cannot stop thinking about you and ask God for guidance so that I do not exceed the limits of my love other than Him. I also often think, in addition to my actions are not good because I think of women who are not my mahram, I can also violate the rules about teacher restrictions.
Then, I want to ask you. Ever since you teased me with that complicated thank-you note I've fallen in love? Or maybe when you bumped into me and we saw each other, and you touched my hand because we both accidentally took the last file, and we both took the last file, could it be that at that moment I have already fallen in love with you?" irsyad explained everything. He was also uneasy with a disappointed expression from Kila.
Kila's head was still fixed on a table which then looked at the expanse of the sea. He heard Irsyad's words well, but something made him cry. Tears that spilled without permission were free-falling over Kila's cheeks.
"Crazy, why are you crying? What I said was wrong, huh?" irsyad asked when he realized that Kila had just cried when he finished telling the story. Kila wiped her tears, but they never stopped.
"No idea, brother. Please come back first, sister," said Kila. He got up from his seat and turned around to leave Irsyad.
"Kila, wait," stop Irsyad. Kila paid no heed and continued his steps to return to the hotel where they were staying.
"Why is Kila crying?" think Irsyad.
