CHASING THE LOVE OF THE TEACHER
Papa Arman's Anger

Almost 3 pm Arjuna has arrived in front of PT Indopangan office building. According to a message sent by Tino, Papa Arman asked Arjuna to come after teaching. With a pounding heart, Arjuna stepped out of the elevator that had already taken her to the 10th floor.

His eyes had seen Yolanda's table was neat, there was only Tino standing near the door with a tense face making Arjuna's heart beat even tighter.

“What's up, Bro ? arjuna asked in a whispering voice.

Tino only gave a signal to tell Arjuna to enter immediately because he was awaited by his parents.

As soon as the door opened, saw Papa Arman who had been walking back and forth with a face full of anger, approaching Arjuna who also walked in.

“Pa. Ma,” greet Arjuna with a slightly vibrating voice.

Without giving any answer, Papa Arman immediately slapped hard enough twice and made Arjuna stagger. Tino who was still standing at the door rushed in and held the body of the boss and his best friend. The corner of Arjuna's lips was slightly bleeding.

“Basic irresponsible man ! Dare to propose people's children and ready to get married but still dare to play fire in the back, in the office again !”

Arjuna was surprised to hear the words of Papa Arman. Dahinya had frowned, thinking whether Cilla who told this incident to his parents ?

Papa Arman reached out to Mama Diva who immediately understood her husband's intentions. Mama Diva took out a velvet box from inside her bag.

Roughly Papa Arman threw the box in front of Arjuna until it hit his chest and fell to the floor open. Arjuna's eyes widened when he found the engagement ring he gave to Cilla and the necklace that was presented by Diva's mother when they got engaged splattered on the floor.

“Why is it the same Mama and Papa ?” arjuna asked stammered and his gaze still looked down at the two objects.

“Cilla has already cancelled your wedding and he returned this to you !” papa Arman said with emotion.

“Cancel ?” Arjuna repeated with a frown and a trembling voice. His breathing was slightly hunting as it held the turmoil in his heart.

“But we..”.

“Why ? Shocked ? Is this not your own choice ? Man b**doh ! You may not contact your future wife for days. Papa and mama, who have been married for decades, never pass a day to send a message. Moreover, the more sophisticated era, with only one finger you can connect. While you ? Like humans who lived in antiquity and did not know how to communicate with people, your future wife also !”

“Juna was wrong, Pa,” Ogled Arjuna while picking up rings and necklaces lying on the floor. “Im sorry Juna.”

“It's been three days that Cilla avoided Juna, Pa. Yola's problem Juna explained to Cilla and Juna also apologized about the number blocked by Yola. Juna thinks Cilla again needs time alone, it turns out.” Arjuna smiled bitterly.

“Cilla did not complain about anything with Papa and Mama, Jun,” said mama Diva in between her tears. “You just found out from Tino and Theo not from Cilla. We did meet with Cilla, but there is no story about Yola and your problem is never messaged with her if you are busy working in the office.”

“Cilla canceled this wedding because it didn't want to be a burden for you. Did you complain about guardianship and factory issues on Cilla ?” papa Arman asked still with a sharp look.

“Juna never talked to Cilla according to Papi's message at that time. But...”

“Yesterday night Juna met Theo, Luki and Boni. We used to confide in each other and it turned out that while Juna was confiding, Cilla was there and listening to everything.”

“B**doh ! How can a prospective leader be so bothered to share his problems with others without paying attention to the people around him ? What if what you're discussing is a company issue and there's your competition there ?”

“They are not ordinary people, Pa. They are Juna's best friends, where Juna shares his joys and sorrows since he was in school,” Arjuna denied.

“Then Cilla who ? Just your unimportant student you ask me how are you doing ? What you don't need to tell me if you're overtime at the office ?”

Mama Diva called Arjuna to sit next to her. Slowly Arjuna approached and followed his mother's request.

“What is Cilla so burdensome for your life, Jun ?” mama Diva rubbed her son's back while thrusting a piece of tissue so that Arjuna cleans the blood at the corner of her lips.

Arjuna was silent with his head bowed.

“If you have this already you can only take refuge behind Mama ?” cynical papa Arman. “Where is Arjuna a former school thug who likes to make trouble ? Where did Arjuna dare to choose to leave his parents for a con woman in the name of love?”

“Pa !” reprimand mama Diva while looking at her husband with a frown.

Papa Arman sits on the sofa opposite Arjuna and Mama Diva. Arjuna looked at her with an annoyed face.

“Cilla never burdens Juna kok, Ma. Juna was happy and never regretted choosing Cilla to be Juna's wife. But it turns out that Juna is a cowardly future husband, not daring to accept all the consequences that Juna must live if until we get married. Juna is too self-focused and selfish, only drowning in his own fear to ignore Cilla who has so much role in Juna.” life

“And that regret is no longer of any use. Cilla's papa will revoke all power of attorney for you relating to Cilla. In the meantime, the construction of the factory in Batang is also stopped, there is no need for a second and third tender for a period of time that cannot be determined,” stressed papa Arman while taking a deep breath.

“Juna will meet Papi Rudi and explain everything, Pa. Juna will also talk to Cilla and ask for her. “.

“No need !” cut papa Arman fast. “Papa knows how your former future father-in-law is. Let the situation calm down first as per her request as Cilla will face the final exam preparation.”

Arjuna was silent, muffling the sadness of his heart because Cilla had made up her mind without speaking to him first. It turned out that he had injured Cilla so deeply that she finally chose to let him go and would probably live in her solitude again.

Arjuna immediately remembered the wound in Cilla's eyes that would definitely return to fulfill his entire life step after this.

Arjuna smiled bitterly as he recalled how happy he was when he saw the scar had disappeared from Cilla's eyes. The girl turned into a spoiled figure and was full of happiness because the heavy burden she carried alone could already be divided by the presence of papi Rudi and Arjuna himself.

Arjuna took a long breath. Just this time he felt a tremendous tightness from the breakup, as if half a breath and his life had evaporated along with the decision Cilla took.

Given how harsh Cilla's nature is behind her spoiled and childish demeanor, Arjuna is unsure it will be easy to regain the love Cilla would never willingly give up.
