Best Teacher And Me
Don't Want to Meet?

Kila really misses Irsyad. The proof, now he did not hesitate to ask to meet with Irsyad even though through a video call. Every day they are getting closer despite their distance. Since Irsyad was unable to return to Indonesia, their communication became more intense.

Kila is at Citra's house now, to do her routine helps make snacks on Sundays. He was already sitting in the family room after finishing helping Citra make snacks. It became a routine for Kila at this hour to make a video call with Irsyad.

"That's a shame, Kil. I also cannot go back to Indonesia during Eid al-Fitr holiday. The research is in a phase that cannot be abandoned" Irsyad said after some opening talks.

"Irsyad, what do you think you do, anyway? How do you think it's so busy?" image joined the conversation.

"Irsyad wants to speed up graduation, Bun. To get back to Indonesia faster. Irsyad is so busy. To spend time communicating with Kila will not interfere, it will make Irsyad more fresh to continue the research. But, if you leave the research, Irsyad does not know later how this research will be disrupted," Irsyad replied.

"So, are you satisfied to just meet Kila through this video call?" ask Citra.

"Yes.., actually Irsyad should be grateful because in this sophisticated era Irsyad can still see Kila even though he can not touch it," answered Irsyad casually.

"Assalamu'alaykum, Bun."

While Kila and Citra were talking, Farhan had entered the house and joined the living room. Farhan often visited Citra's house, and knocking on the door was no longer necessary. This time he also met Kila after a long time did not meet. He was deliberately to come every Sunday, but when it came surely Kila had gone home first. This time Farhan was lucky to meet Kila.

"Wa'alaykumussalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh" said Kila and Citra together.

"Eh... Farhan came, Syad," Citra said showing Farhan to the screen.

"Well, is that Irsyad's sister? Farhan wants to chat with Irsyad as well," said Farhan who immediately sat himself beside Citra. Their sitting position already placed Citra in the middle position between Kila and Farhan.

"Sir Irsyad how are you? When to go back to Indonesia? The house people miss, you know. Moreover, Yuli, every meeting must be a story about Irsyad sister only," exclaimed Farhan.

"That's the problem, Han. Irsyad can not go home, he said his research can not be left," answered by Citra.

"If so, it's easy, Bun. We go there" replied Farhan.

"When the year-end holiday was also Kila had time to think like that, Kak Farhan. But I can't get permission from Mr Irsyad" Kila responded.

"Ha..., Brother Irsyad, huh? Kila has been very open to showing me that call." thought Farhan for a moment.

"Why not allow it?" ask Farhan curiously.

"Yes, Han. I was afraid to let Kila go to Turkey alone" Irsyad replied from the phone.

"Well, that's right. All holidays together see Turkey. Take Ira and then, Kil. Oiya, Han, Yuli also take her. Surely he was very happy," nimbrung Citra enthusiastically.

"Mother, tickets to Turkey are very expensive" said Irsyad firmly. The three of them knew, a short sentence just implied rejection in it.

"It's okay if it's expensive, brother. There is Kila's savings that have been saved specifically for the holiday fund, Kak. So it will not burden Kila's finances," said Kila responded enthusiastically as well.

"Okay, you're safe, Kil. Then, what about father, mother and Farhan? Do you want to finance them, too?" ask Irsyad again, focus on Kila. There is emphasis in that sentence.

"Irsyad, why is it so expensive? Ever since you were in Turkey, you have been more protective of your finances" Citra replied, irritated.

"We have to be realistic, Bun. Don't just because you miss Irsyad, you guys have to come here. It's not comparable. You guys are here just to meet one guy. Unlike the Irsyad who should have found you a lot by yourself," Irsyad replied still with emphasis.

"Kan, the plan was that we would all vacation, brother. So it's still comparable, dong," Farhan said in response.

"Farhan, don't overdo it. The holiday season will certainly be a lot of tourists, that makes ticket prices expensive and also the existence is rare. And the cost of living here is also higher. If only for tickets, okay I can release you to buy. But, when you are in Turkey, you will definitely need food and shelter, right? Remember, money that should be used for more useful things should not be wasted for temporary pleasure," Irsyad replied to Farhan. This time it was very clear the firm rejection from Irsyad.

Farhan was affirmed by Irsyad, but Kila who felt his heart was sliced. The figure of Irsyad that he did not like was relapsed.

"Yes, right, Brother Farhan. It seems, the plan to go to Turkey in his entourage does not need to be done, deh. Later on, Irsyad also later, he was busy preparing his research. If we were there, it would definitely hinder Brother Irsyad. We better follow said Irsyad. He knows what's best for us" Kila said.

The atmosphere of the family room was silent after hearing Kila's words. They gave pause to think they would agree with Kila, or agree to go to Turkey even though Irsyad continued to refuse.

"Yes, Yes Rabb... I forgot to charge hp. This is lowbat. Brother Irsyad, Kila please close the connection, yes. Assalamu'alaykum."

"Bun, Kila go home first to charge hp."

"Yes, Kil."

A mere alibi to end the connection was due to lowbat. Also back to kosan is a Kila alibi. Kila's battery is still very much and he's not to cost to charge his phone. He returned to the room to cry. If the conversation continues on hearing Irsyad's strong rejection speech, Kila's tears may spill at that moment. He did not want anyone to see him cry because of his selfishness. Let him hold it alone for a moment he is very fragile to hear Irsyad's words. He is selfish and two-faced. It was because he really missed Irsyad, he wanted to meet with Irsyad. But, he did not want his selfishness to dominate anymore. Irsyad has accepted many of Kila's decisions, now Kila who must accept Irsyad's decision.

Not wrong, when the door of his room he closed the tears Kila really poured profusely. Kila felt ill as Irsyad insisted on refusing her arrival.

"Sister Irsyad, do you know that I miss you so much? Did Irsyad refuse because he didn't want to see me?" kila said in her heart as she evaporated her emotions by shedding her tears.
