CHASING THE LOVE OF THE TEACHER
The Delayed Talk

“Loh, Cilla where's Rud ? You didn't take him ?” tanya Aunt Siska when she saw only Papi Rudi and om Rio who was well dressed.

”I did not invite him to see a doctor,” replied Papi Rudi with a sigh.

“But Rud, did you forget the main purpose of bringing Cilla here ?” aunt Siska immediately sat next to her husband opposite Papi Rudi.

“Cilla is in chaos right now. He was a little depressed about his relationship with Arjuna,” said papi Rudi while gulping his water.

This morning Papi Rudi did not enjoy breakfast even a glass of tea, just plain water, as a condition of preparation before carrying out a series of health tests.

“What are the problems between Cilla and Arjuna ? Are they threatened with breaking up?” aunty Siska asked with a curious face.

“It looks like you should ask your son,” said papi Rudi while staring at Theo who just came out of the room with his pillow face.

Aunt Siska immediately turned her head towards Theo with a fierce look. Looks like he is ready to scold his only son if it is true that Theo is the cause of failure papi Rudi talked to Cilla.

“What did you do to Cilla ?” aunty Siska asked in a fierce tone as Theo was already standing by the dining table. The man did not even have time to say good morning.

“No-apain. What's the matter, Mi ? Now where's his son?”

With an innocent face, Theo asked back while circulating his gaze looking for Cilla.

“Cilla sports permit to the park near here,” said papi Rudi as if to understand the purpose of Theo's gaze.

“What did you say to Cilla about Arjuna ?” aunt Siska asked back in a fierce voice.

Theo frowned while tidying his hair with his fingers.

“I don't say much,” said Theo and then gulped down the freshly poured water. “This morning Cilla was upset because Arjuna only replied to a short message he sent. I said yes it is so busy Arjuna and this is all not yet how because at this time Juna's job only helps om Arman. If you are back as CEO, his busyness will certainly be more than now.”

“There must be something wrong with the way you convey it to Cilla,” grumbled aunt Siska with an annoyed face.

“Cilla is very anxious to think about your words, Theo,” said papi Rudi casually. “He was afraid that Arjuna was too busy, Cilla would be alone again.”

“But what I told Cilla was reality, Om. I don't want Cilla to live in the dream of having a boyfriend like in the movies or stories that still have a lot of time in the midst of Juna's responsibility as the company leader. Especially if until later all Om companies must be submitted to Cilla.”

“You mean that until Om dies in the near future, all Om's efforts will be charged also to Arjuna because he will be Cilla's husband ?”

“I just made Cilla open her eyes,” Theo's cute tone started to rise a little.

“Theo !” reprimand aunt Siska while glaring.

“But Mi..”

“Om knows what you mean well, and what you say to Cilla is not all wrong but also not all true,” cut papi Rudi before Theo debates again the scolding of aunt Siska.

“Don't you forget Theo, Cilla's age is still very young. In his wish to have a lover and prospective husband for a child his age is like that. Maybe all this time Cilla looks mature compared to his age, looks strong and independent, and, and as if never burdened with all the realities of life that he had to face alone because Om instead ran away as a coward who avoids his own daughter on the grounds of not wanting his daughter to be hurt. But all this time, Om actually makes Cilla often feel down because of loneliness and feel alone.”

Papi Rudi paused and let out a long sigh before continuing his words.

“Overnight Cilla really became herself. Young girls who have been growing up alone, have to find out many things without any family accompanying. Then Arjuna came like a helper god and a new source of strength for Cilla, filling the void she had been looking for all this time. And Om business problems, everything is prepared even if Om has to give up in the near future.”

“It's not like that I mean, Om,” Theo said with a guilty face.

“Om thanks you for your concern for Cilla and all your good intentions. But never forget that Cilla is still very young, her life is still in the world of teenagers. Even he will only have a ID card in the next two months,” said papi Rudi while laughing softly.

“Im sorry Theo, Om,” witty Theo with a face full of regret.

“Please do not nosy Cilla first at this time let alone mention Arjuna, he is again very sensitive,” said Papi Rudi while laughing softly. “Lum again love the same Arjuna aka bucin.”

“You did not rebuke Arjuna for having the heart to let your daughter who is his future wife sad because she missed?” ask aunt Siska to papi Rudi.

“If about that let Cilla learn naturally. I'm sure Cilla understands that's why he doesn't insist on contacting Arjuna.”

“But Cilla is fine now, right, Om ?”

“So early in the morning he permission to take a walk while exercising around here. It is customary that his heart is troubled. Hopefully later his feelings will improve when he comes home.”

“So we're leaving now, Rud ? It has been almost eight and a half hours,” om Rio who since just been a listener finally opened his voice and woke up from his chair.

“I tipped Cilla first, Sis,” papi Rudi woke up too. “Do not force it first if indeed Cilla does not want to come to the hospital. I wouldn't have the heart to tell you about my current condition. Maybe I'll talk when Arjuna's next to him. It seems that currently only Arjuna can become Cilla's power. I don't want Cilla to even feel worse alone.”

“Then ask Arman for permission to let Arjuna come here,” said aunt Siska.

“Let Arjuna focus on his work first. After all it is not entirely about the company Arman, but the plan of both of us to merge the existing business.”

Dahi aunty Siska and Theo frowned because they did not understand the meaning of Papi Rudi's words.

“Later the story, Rud,” by Rio. “Too long to explain to them now. It's getting late, don't let us arrive late at the hospital.”

While in the park not far from the apartment, Cilla was sitting on an iron bench that was there. He took out his cell phone from his training pants pocket.

His heart felt uneasy because Arjuna still did not reply to his message. Finally Arjuna only sent a message that he had arrived in Semarang safely.

It feels like Cilla made a call until Arjuna answers it, but his anxiety is afraid to be considered as a potential wife of bullies and not understanding, making Cilla stop calling Arjuna first.

Cilla sighed, hoping that what Papi Rudi said would happen. Arjuna will be the right husband for Cilla, who will always care about him and put Cilla as an important special woman in Arjuna's life.

Cilla fiddled with her phone with mixed feelings. His hand changed Arjuna's nickname on his phone, no longer his father's duck but his future husband.

Just pressing the save button, his eyes instantly sparkled as the name appeared on his phone screen making a video call.

Cilla tidied up her hair that dangled on the face with half wet conditions and set a smile to remain charming in the eyes of Arjuna even though he had not yet bathed and finished exercising.

Cilla shifted the green icon and picked up the phone until her face was visible on the screen.

“Morning Mas Juna,” a sweep with face sumringah.

“Where are you?” arjuna's eyes frowned.

“Again in the park runs out of morning walks, sports.”

“Yakin ?” asked Arjuna with brow. “Whose name ?”

“Yeah Mas Juna, this is Cilla again in the park, tuh see many people also again on sports,” Cilla moves his phone to show Arjuna the atmosphere around the park.

“Cilla is not alone, many people here,” he said back with a manyun lips.

“Yakin alone ? Don't make a deal with people ?” ask Arjuna back while squealing. “Not cheating anymore because it's away from Mas Juna, right ?”

Jutek's tone began to sound from Arjuna's words and his eyes were still narrowed watching Cilla.

“Starting nethink, deh,” grumbled Cilla still with a pouty face.

“Who is that ? That daring guy standing behind you ? I think it is waiting for you and not wearing sports clothes.”

Cilla immediately turned her head and looked up at the figure of the man who was actually standing behind her.

Cilla looked surprised and her mouth was a little gaping because she did not expect to see this guy again.

“Cilla !” call Arjuna with a fierce tone.

“Eeehhh yes Mas Juna,” with a little nervous Cilla back staring into the mobile screen while grinning the horse.

“You are no longer cheating, are you ?” arjuna's face bent, his lips along with a sharp look watching Cilla.

“Oath no, Mas Juna,” Cilla raised his free hand. “Love is the same Mas Juna doang,” his spontaneous speech makes Arjuna want to laugh but held back in order to keep the image so as not to fall directly in the eyes of Cilla especially in front of foreign men who have never met.

Cilla turned her head as the man behind her patted her on the shoulder.

“You are still long here ?” ask the man with a flat face. “No leaving with me ?”

Arjuna's eyes widened when he heard the foreign man taking his future wife away.

“Cilla !” peekik Arjuna with a fierce face.

Cilla who had gawked because she did not understand the words of the man in front of her, a little jumped because Arjuna's call was quite loud and heard emotion.

He looked back at Arjuna while grinning at the horse.

“You're going with another guy ?”

Cilla shook her head, she herself did not understand the question the man was asking.

“Keep why are people there ? Take off with all. Where are you going today ?” ask Juna with a jutek tone. “You know him ?”

Cilla nodded with a confused face to answer what.

Suddenly the man took Cilla's phone and faced his face in front of the phone screen. Arjuna was instantly emotionless and his gaze was like that of a soldier on the battlefield.

“How are you doing Arjuna Hartono?” the man greeted Arjuna's name completely making Arjunameny narrow his eyes, trying to recognize the face that was in front of him now.

Cilla was glued in place and squeezed both her fingers, hoping Arjuna would not lash after this.

“Neremember the same I ?”

Arjuna was just silent still with a gaze looking at the face on the phone screen. The man looks familiar, but Arjuna does not know or forget what his name is.
