Best Teacher And Me
Pass Faster

The days passed by normally. Communication between Kila and Irsyad also returned intense after a month without communication. Irsyad decided to make their relationship even more intense to pay for the lost time. But there is nothing special about this communication. The more you get used to something, the more you make it ordinary. Initially communication between them was special because they had not communicated for a month before, because they had become accustomed to it the communication between them became not too special anymore. But, the ordinary things that have become this habit become a valuable thing. Because, once this habit is not done, there must be something missing to live the day.

Right now, Kila is very, very busy. Again, communication that has just been intense again must now be limited. After Irsyad asked permission not to be able to communicate with Kila, it was Kila's turn to ask for that permission. Not even a month or two. It's only three months. They do not take the time to make video calls, only short messages that are very short communication they do. It was not like back then that really could not communicate. This time, more to a super short communication through chat messages, without a phone or video call.

"Crazy, today you can't make a video call, huh? We haven't seen each other in a long time, nor have we had a video call in three months." Irsyad gave a chat message to Kila. He sent it at dawn in Indonesia. Hoping, if Kila read it late because it does not hold a mobile phone, at least it can still be read on the same day-Sunday.

Sure enough, the message had been sent for a long time Irsyad, but Kila had only read shortly after he finished completing his issue.

"Sorry, Brother. Kila just read," Kila replied to the chat message.

"It's okay. Now, are you free or not? So we can video call. If you're very busy, call for a minute. Or, you're going to bed, huh?" quick Irsyad reply. He is taking a short break from his research. It just so happened that Kila responded quickly to the chat he sent.

"Aa, sorry, Brother. Can't yet. It feels like today is very tiring," replied Kila.

"Ooh, it's okay. You got enough rest, yeah. Don't get sick anymore."

"Yes, Brother."

"Okay, good rest, Kila."

"Yes, Brother."

"Assalamu'alaykum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh."

"Wa'alaykumussalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, Brother."

The conversation ended like that, again. Because for three months Kila always said too tired, or the reason for many tasks. They have not had a video call in the past three months.

"Crazy, you would know. I wanted to say that I'll be home soon. But, I can't convey it through chat. I want to say directly. Why can't I tell you that I really miss you, Kila?" said Irsyad himself while lying his body and head on the back of the chair. I don't know since when Irsyad began to have difficulty expressing his feelings to Kila. All this time, he was very good at expressing his feelings.

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

"Assalamu'alaykum, China. The spirit of living today, yes." Irsyad sent a message he used to send when Kila started her day.

With usual also Kila replied to the chat message, "wa'alaykumussalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, Kak. Yes, thanks. Brother is also the one who is eager to live the day."

Conversations are the usual that became their communication routine lately. Kila who was getting busy with the final task of approaching UAS did not have time to set aside video call time with Irsyad. At UAS, he wants to answer well. Hence, every moment was a study time for Kila. There is no other time, at all. Eating business, later Irsyad always reminded Kila through chat when it was time, so the business of eating Kila was safe and he ate regularly thanks to Irsyad.

"You want to sleep, huh? Don't forget to eat if you haven't. Remember, eat regularly!" Such was the content of his message as Irsyad reminded Kila to eat. Kila almost wanted to go to sleep immediately after getting tired of struggling with many tasks. Fortunately, Irsyad reminded me.

"Aaa, I know. Thank you so much for remembering Kila. Don't get bored, brother. Hehe. Don't forget to eat either. Do not research the ones in the deal. Herself too," Kila replied to Irsyad's chat message that came in just now.

"Haha, yes, Kila. Thanks very much. You got enough rest, yeah. Don't stay up too often, not good for health."

"Ready, Brother. If I'm allowed to eat first, yes. After that, go straight to sleep. Kila permission first, brother. Assalamu'alaykum."

"Yes, good night and good dreams, Kila. Wa'alaykumussalam warahmatulli wabarakatuh."

This routine is indeed short, the name is also a chat message must be short-for both. Actually, the research problem that Kila had touched on today, there was something Irsyad needed to talk about. He was done with all his duties including the research he underwent. His education was over, half a month earlier than expected. Just waiting for the right momentum to tell Kila about this.

"If I go home secretly, will you be surprised? Will you be able to set aside time for both of us later? Or, do you have time to meet me? Can you pick me up at the airport? Can we hold each other for a moment when we first meet after all this time? Aaa, I can't wait for my graduation time to arrive and return to your side to devote myself to your full priesthood. I also want to imitate you during prayer later. We never pray together, do we? Haha, I've been like a madman talking to himself about something that hasn't happened yet. Never mind, just end this strange delusion" said Irsyad who spoke to himself.

Irsyad who will soon get a toga and his doctorate prepares everything for it. Graduation day will coincide with UAS Kila later. He will not ask families in Indonesia to come to Turkey to see him graduation. It will trouble everyone. He understands enough about that. So, let this graduation no one who accompanied him celebrate his most historic day.
