CHASING THE LOVE OF THE TEACHER
The Unexpected Support

Sherly's face grew furious with both hands clenched at the side.

“So actually said Sherly that elo has been teasing Mr Arjuna since Mr Arjuna was accepted as a teacher here ?” ask Lina back.

It looks like the student of class XII IPA-1 was already part of Sherly's support group.

“Love does not come suddenly let alone arrive at the decision to marry. About the reason why it seems we both have the right not to share it with the public,” said Cilla with a calm voice and a thin smile. “What is certain is that we are both married not because of forced and like you see in the photo that our marriage is sanctioned by parents.”

“Why should keep the reason secret everything?” asked Sherly while gesturing to Mr. Didi to display the following image on the flash.

“What's this because ?” ask Sherly.

Again the photos shown made many eyes dumbfounded. Cilla is being embraced by Arjuna on her shoulder in front of the hospital lobby. Cilla's eyes were slightly puffy and they were both talking to a doctor.

“Means elo how ?” cilla asked deliberately pretending not to understand.

“Seeing how the condition of elo in the arms of Mr. Arjuna, it seems like something makes elo shock really.”

“Yes, there is indeed something that makes me sad and feel anxious,” said Cilla relaxed.

The back prickly husk sounds exactly like the buzz of a bee near its hive.

“Keep the points you want to ask about what is it?” cilla asked, looking at Sherly.

“It is not impossible that elo shock after knowing the actual condition of elo,” challenge Sherly with a face full of confidence.

“Have you confirmed who the doctor is talking to me and Mr Juna?”

“Doctor Steven, child specialist,” Sherly replied arrogantly.

“Keep what does the pediatrician have to do with my marriage with Mr Arjuna ?”

“Do not pretend ogeb deh,” Merry replace standing with annoyed face. “Elo would have meant Sherly. We all want to know what elo hamidun until Pak Arjuna decides to marry elo as soon as ?”

Cilla laughed softly not because she took Merry's question lightly, but her hope was achieved. The sentence that thought Cilla was pregnant first did not come out of her mouth.

“To make such an assumption would be better if you have more evidence than just photos. After all where there are pregnant people come to the pediatrician not obgyn. So it is certain that the assumption you think is very wrong.”

“Since when did this school allow its students to continue school with married status ?” a thunderous voice emerged from the door of the hall.

Aunt Dinda, mama Sherly, with 2 mothers and 1 father entered the hall without permission again.

“We are the school committee,” said Aunt Dinda. “It looks like this problem can't just be silenced. Are not rules and regulations made to be obeyed together regardless of status and position?”

Cilla sighed as her affairs were extended with the attendance of the school committee, it was not enough with Sherly alone.

“Good morning Bu Dinda, Bu Dian, Bu Tia and Pak Agus,” greet Mr. Slamet with a slightly satirical tone.

”Good morning Mr. Slamet,” only Mr. Agus replied to Mr. Slamet's greeting.

“It looks like this problem is quite heavy,” continued aunt Dinda ignored Mr. Slamet. “It should be that as a child of the school owner you can be a good role model for your friends, not even create problems like this that can make the good name of this school ugly.”

Aunt Dinda stood near Cilla, looking at the girl with a cynical look. Eleven-twelve with their children, like to be arrogant and look for the weaknesses of others.

“What Aunt can further clarify the meaning of Aunty's speech ? My marriage with Mr. Arjuna is not a shame because we both love each other, are blessed by family and follow the applicable legal provisions.”

“Then why is it hidden ? Dare not be published.”

“If I mean Aunty did not invite Aunt and committee members does not mean our marriage is hidden because there is nothing. This sacred event is only for our families and people who are very important to us. Don't be afraid that Aunt's name is not on the list when we have a party later.”

“You think I'm here just because of a party invitation issue ? My husband can still afford to pay for a meal at a fancy restaurant.”

Cilla smiled thinly. It is quite fun to lure people who like to show off in an emotional state.

“I have answered Aunt's question and there is no intention from us to hide my marriage with Mr. Arjuna. We have met all the requirements as well. For the issue of widespread notification, I and Mr. Arjuna are not public figures who need the mass media to announce important events in our lives.”

“It is impossible for parents to marry a child whose age is still under the provisions of the law if not forced,” said Aunt Dinda with a cynical face:

Cilla let out a breath. It is difficult to give an explanation to people whose intentions are no longer good. Although it has been answered, the question will go back in circles on the same problem, it's just that the sentences used are different.

“I mean Auntie like Lina said earlier ? Me and Mr Arjuna married because I am already pregnant ?”

“Not it so?”

Cilla laughed softly making Aunt Dinda feel underestimated.

”Do not be rude you are the same parent !” snapped Aunty Dinda who was only responded to with a faint smile by Cilla.

“So Aunty means ?”

“Causes of accelerated marriage problems especially with minors like you usually due to getting pregnant out of wedlock.”

With Aunt Dinda, Cilla cheers in her heart. Fortunately, everything is still in the process of recording.

“Help me not married because I was pregnant first!”

Cilla immediately turned her head towards the door with a dumbfounded face. There's Diva's mom, Amanda and Theo standing there.

“Mama,” hiss Cilla with a smile.

“I can sue you for defamation if it is proven that my daughter-in-law does not get pregnant out of wedlock,” my sharp gaze mama Diva makes aunt Dinda slightly shriveled.

“Mother..”

Cilla smiled with a look of admiration. It is not unexpected that Mama Diva who has always looked calm and only a housewife turned out to look cool when dealing with Aunt Dinda.

“Not that I mean to accuse Cilla like that,” aunt Dinda started to soften her voice, not as loud as earlier.

“Everything that happens in this room is well recorded,” mama Diva directs her face to two OSIS staff from the documentation section that was appointed by Devan.

“So please do not turn back your talk again,” firmly mama Diva makes aunt Dinda swallow her saliva.

Not long the second hour break bell rang, which means school hours for XII grade children who were scheduled to go home quickly.

“It looks like this problem can be continued in the principal room,”, said Mr. Rachman approached Cilla, Mama Diva and Aunt Dinda who stood close together.

“Now is the time for the children to come home, so we can continue in the room of Mr. Slamet,” continued Mr. Rachman.

“We are ready to follow the solution of this problem, Sir,” Nino, class president XII IPS-1 got up from his seat and opened his voice.

“Betul, Sir. As Cilla's classmates, we are willing to stay here until everything is clear and complete,” Mira also woke up to Nino's words.

Compact all of Cilla's classmates were standing in front of their seats.

“We are all willing to listen to the explanation from Cilla, Sir,” Reina said on behalf of her friends.

The children of other classes also open their voices and agree to the request of the children of class XII IPS-1.

Cilla stared at her classmates who gave a smile and passion to Cilla.

“Thank you,” said Cilla without a sound.

“Then please have the children sit down and we continue until the next 30 minutes,”, said Mr. Rachman after discussing with Mr. Slamet and the class guardians who have advanced forward.

“Halo darling,” whispered Jovan as he passed Amanda to Mr. Didi's desk.

Not yet had Amanda reply, Jovan had pulled a chair and sat next to Mr. Didi, tinkering with his laptop and ready to help mama Diva.

“Good day kids. I am mama Arjuna, your former math teacher who has now legally become the husband of your friend Priscilla Darmawan,” mama Diva started her explanation in front of all the students.

Mama Diva turned her head, asking Cilla to come closer and hold her daughter-in-law's hand.

“Perhaps some did not suspect about the marriage of Arjuna and Cilla whose effects were sudden. The reality is not so, all was planned long before Arjuna taught at this school even before Cilla became a student at Guna Bangsa.”

Mama Diva paused and coded Jovan who was ready with her laptop.

Cilla frowned and was convinced that Jovan already knew about the plan of the arrival of Mama Diva to school.

Cilla shifted, positioning itself sideways in order to be able to look at the screen as well as easily see the forum.

His eyes widened when he saw the appearance of the photo displayed on the screen.

“Arjuna and Cilla have known each other since they were children. This photo was taken when Sylvia's mother, Mr. Darmawan's wife and Mami Cilla died. The photo above when in the funeral home, if the below of course all must have been able to know where they are, the grave of his mother Cilla.”

Cilla blinked, not believing what she saw. Cilla herself never remembered the incident that was plastered in front of her.

The first photo at the funeral home shows Arjuna kneeling in front of Cilla sitting in a chair alone. Arjuna was rubbing his head, while Cilla's own face was wet with tears.

The second photo made Cilla try to remember him again. Arjuna was holding Cilla who was embracing Arjuna's neck and was laying his head on the boy's shoulder. Arjuna's body began to look tall while Cilla was still petite despite being five years old.

“Lama never again met each other, the two no longer recognize each other when reunited at this school with the status of teacher and student. No need to discuss who used to fall in love, we parents who have long wanted to match the two feel happy because without being forced Arjuna and Cilla both love each other. The first plans for her second marriage will take place after Cilla graduates High School, but there are urgent and special reasons that are very personal, so their wedding was done last week while the party itself waited until all Cilla's business at school was done. I dare to guarantee that the reason in question is not because one of them or both of them committed acts that violate the norm.”

“But it is not allowed for married children to continue their schooling,” protest aunt Dinda but in a quiet voice.

“So you mean my daughter-in-law can not finish her school which is only 2 weeks away ?”

Aunt Dinda did not dare to answer directly let alone be reminded of the recording that is still going on.

“We do not agree that Cilla is prohibited from taking PAS and school exams,” Nino again woke up and became a representative of his classmates who stood up as well.

“For us it doesn't matter if Cilla is married to Mr. Arjuna. Alright, let alone their marriage is officially religion and country,” timpal Dodi.

“It is not necessary that we all know the personal reasons of Cilla and Mr. Arjuna. Not a single student was harmed by their marriage,” in a loud voice Mira spoke.

The expression of Cilla's classmates invites the courage of other students who support Cilla and Arjuna.

“Happy new life for Cilla and Mr. Arjuna,” said Reina.

“Don't forget Cil, his meal debt,” chirped Aron while laughing.

“Double combo make our class, Cil. PJ equals wedding party,” timpal Nico.

“If the matter is so very easy for Cilla and Mr. Arjuna,” said Lili joined the voice. “Origin do not forget to come the condangan must bring a gift, at least envelope contents of blue money.”

“Huuuuu..” welcome Cilla's friends.

Cilla widened her smile even more with a happy face. Didn't expect that his classmates would openly support him like this.

Mama Diva smiled happily. Likewise, Theo and Amanda who are still standing on the sidelines feel relieved.

They believe that this form of support is not because they are looking for face to face with Cilla who is the school owner's child, but pure sincerity as a comrade-in-arms who has been with Cilla for two years.

Cilla, the school owner child they know, never took advantage of his status and position to do arbitrarily.
