CHASING THE LOVE OF THE TEACHER
Cilla's restlessness

Cilla deliberately asked Papi Rudi to let them down at the end of Orchard Road and walk to the apartment on the other end.  Papa Rudi complied with the request of his only daughter.

“What do you want to talk about again?” asked Papi Rudi just after they came down.

“You go both ways with papi.”

“Papi may not have been with you for a long time, but will never forget your habits as a child. Do not like to find out for yourself let alone guessing the important things that stuck in your heart,” papi Rudi patted Cilla's fingers holding her arm.

Cilla smiled, happy to hear that Papi Rudi was still so attentive and remembered the small things that had become his habit.

“If Cilla is married to Mas Juna in the near future, what are all the responsibilities of papi company left to Mas Juna ?”

“Why ? You don't want your husband to hold ?” tanya papi sambi laughs.

“Not so,” Cilla sighed. “If Mas Juna holds many companies, it means Mas Juna will be a super busy husband. And in the end Cilla will be alone again. It is impossible to disturb Mas Juna who has the same responsibility of the company.”

Papi Rudi again laughed and released Cilla's hand on his arm. Now Papi Rudi is embracing his daughter's shoulder while walking down the street.

“So since then that problem that stuck in your heart ?”

“It's been two days that Mas Juna looks busy. Earlier this morning had a video call before leaving for Semarang sama papa. He said he wanted to survey the location in the Batang area. Kak Theo said, Mas Juna's busyness is not much because at this time his job is only to help papa, has not returned to being CEO. And if married to Cilla in the near future, the responsibility of papi-owned company will certainly be the duty of Mas Juna until Cilla reaches the age of legally qualified.”

Cilla paused for a moment and sighed again. His eyes caught an ice cream vendor on the street. Papi Rudi who saw his daughter's gaze immediately understood and approached the ice cream cart. Cilla habit if you are anxious, like to look for ice cream or chocolate milk or drinks with strawberry flavor.

Papi Rudi ordered one ice cut with a taste of Cilla's favorite mint chocolate.

“Papi still remember the taste of Cilla's favorite every time eating this ice,” Cilla's face sparkled when Papi Rudi gave the ice piece.

“Kan papi has said, even though the last few years are far from you, but all about you is never erased from the memory of papi.”

“Thank you papi,” Cilla wrestled spoiled on papi Rudi.

“You sit there or walk on?” Papi Rudi pointed at the steps of the stairs that were nearby. Cilla just pointed towards the direction that Papi Rudi was referring to because her mouth had just been enjoying the piece of ice.

“Turn to your problem with Juna,” said papi Rudi when both of them have sat down. “Why should you think that far ? All you need to think about now is the problem of school exams that are already in sight.”

“But the problem with Mas Juna should also be thought about from now on, Pi. Cilla does not want to be lonely anymore and Cilla is afraid that if you meet too often, Mas Juna will lose his love with Cilla. Cilla is afraid that until it happens,” said Cilla with a sad tone at the end of his sentence. His face also looks sad to make Papi Rudi's heart feel tight.

Papi Rudi smiled with a sad look at his daughter's anxiety. All this time Cilla always showed herself as a girl who was mature, cheerful and optimistic, but at this time all that was seen was a Cilla, a young girl who had not even seventeen years old, he lost his confidence due to trauma.

“Being an entrepreneur will certainly be busier than ordinary workers, because the responsibility is not only on one job but the entire life of the company becomes a burden that must be borne. But papi is sure that Arjuna can definitely split the time for all of it. Just like papi when mami is still there, papi must always take the time to mami and you.”

“But papi is like staying away from Cilla when mami is gone. At that time Cilla told himself that everything was because the papi company was growing and the responsibilities that were shouldered were getting bigger. The same thing will happen to Mas Juna, because if you get married to Cilla, not only the company of papa Arman who must continue Mas Juna, but also papi business. Cilla wanted to quickly get big so that the burden of Mas Juna was not too heavy. But as long as Cilla's age has not qualified, Cilla still can not help Mas Juna. If it is so Cilla will feel useless in the eyes of Mas Juna and it could be that Mas Juna bored Cilla then look for other women who can compensate Mas Juna. Cilla is really scared of losing Mas Juna and being alone again.”

Papi clasped Cilla's shoulder and carried letting his daughter lean on her shoulder.

“Papi won't let that happen. Papi will talk to Papa Arman about our company. Everything can be arranged. Papi and Papa Arman companies can be combined so that Arjuna time will not be seized much to take care of several different companies locations. Papi and papa will make sure that Arjuna still has time for Cilla, even for your children as well.”

“If the problem of the child does not seem to have occurred in the mind of Cilla,” said Cilla while blushing.

Papi laughed and grabbed Cilla's hand which was still holding the ice cut, biting off the bit of ice that was beginning to melt.

“Later to have a lot of children with Arjuna, so many who help his papi to take care of the company,” ledek papi Rudi while laughing.

“Still worried about your relationship with Arjuna ?’ papi Rudi glanced at his daughter who was still enjoying ice cream. Cilla nodded.

“Papa Arman will definitely rampage if Arjuna to waste or ignore you. Did you forget that Papa Arman had the heart to let Arjuna go out of the house and boarding with potluck money because he ran away when he wanted to be introduced to you ?” papi Rudi said while chuckling.

‘But if you are married, Mas Juna..

“Do not think too far,” papi Rudi put his index finger on Cilla's lips. “Worry often makes us see bad things that are not necessarily happening and bad events can happen because of our own thoughts.”

“Terus Cilla should how, Pi ?”

The two again walked down Orchard Road which is bright and looks festive with Christmas and new year nuances.

“Live life step by step according to your age and current ability. Don't force yourself to be more than you are, let alone to be what others want you to be. Your current responsibility is to complete high school education, continue to college and achieve your goals. Life is like going up a ladder that doesn't know where it ends. It is not good to jump two steps at once, you can slip or even fall because your legs are not long enough to reach it. Papi and Papa Arman's current business problem is our responsibility. As parents, we will definitely think of the best for his children.”

“Thank you because papi understood Cilla,” Cilla back to work spoiled and leaning his head on the arm of papi Rudi because it is not high enough to put his head on the shoulder of his papi.

‘Papi is sure that Arjuna is not a man who is easily tempted by other women. As long as you carry out your duties and responsibilities as a wife, Arjuna will always love you. And as long as papi and papa Arman are alive, don't expect Arjuna to be so easy to play you,” said Papi Rudi with a fierce face. Cilla laughed to see it.

“So the story of dating her sugar baby is just like this,” said Cilla when their steps were getting closer to the apartment.

“In his sugar baby hoping for what else ? Shopping ? Buying a house and a luxury apartment ? All papi's property is definitely inherited for papi's beloved daughter.” Papi Rudi again grabbed Cilla's shoulder and hugged her from the side.

“Begging for a little time papi so that Cilla does not need to make an appointment through om Budi if you want to meet. At least now Cilla has a trusted confiding friend and gives amazing advice.” Cilla gave her thumbs up in front of Papi Rudi.

“Bby... may.. If the time problem can be set. During this time you do not want to shop ? Many sale offers are quite tempting. Usually children your age are the most happy and satisfied if they manage to hunt for discount items.”

“Iih it's not a matter of age, Papi. All girls if they see there is a percent sign behind the price of goods must immediately sparkle his face. But unfortunately Cilla is not one of them, especially if you have seen the percent sign behind the numbers in the matter that Mas Juna gave. Huufftt immediately dizzy head.”.

Cilla pursed her lips with a facial expression like a person who was spinning.

“You really love Juna, yes ? Almost every word you tuh there must be a insertion of the name Arjuna,” ledek papi while laughing.

“It certainly looks very if Cilla love very much Mas Juna yes, Pi ?” cilla's eyebrows are raised.

“Banget ! If papi is not wrong, the term is bucin, yes ?”

“Duuh do not tell anything about Mas Jua yes, Pi, can-can be big head tuh math teacher if you know Cilla love very much with him.”

“Terus you will give a bribe so that papi shut up?” papi Rudi rolled his eyes.

“Cilla's love is this,” Cilla raised his hand and made a circle shape with both hands. “Like a circle that has no angle. Love Cilla equally papi also has no corner, no end.”

“Thank you for being a strong and great papi princess. Thank you because Cilla always loves papi even though it has many times papi made Cilla disappointed and hurt,” papi Rudi gave her warm embrace before entering the apartment lobby.

“Thank you also for being a papi Cilla,” Ciilla replied with a hug and leaned her head on the chest of papi Rudi.

Both are now standing in front of the elevator with Cilla's hands still wriggling in the arms of Papi Rudi. It was seen that Papi Rudi several times sighed and covered his heart anxiety with a smile.

How is it possible to share the truth about his illness when Papi Rudi saw Cilla was in a fragile state because of the turmoil about his relationship with Arjuna. Cilla may have laughed and returned cheerful, but as a father, Papi Rudi understood very well that his daughter's worries had not really been lifted from his heart.

Moreover, Papi Rudi had caught the disappointment when he saw Cilla several times sighed after seeing his cellphone. Cilla is definitely waiting for a message or phone call from her future husband. The look on her face implied disappointment whenever she found nothing from Arjuna on her phone screen.
