CHASING THE LOVE OF THE TEACHER
Chapter 16 Class Increase

Since the incident that night, Cilla was seen avoiding Arjuna blatantly at school. Febi and Lili had felt strange about Cilla's behavior.

Usually the girl with her sneaky grin will get ready to start her debate with Arjuna as they cross paths. Lately, it was Cilla who turned the direction of avoiding meeting the handsome teacher.

Several times they also accidentally met in the park as usual, but again Cilla immediately fled when he saw Arjuna even from a distance. Arjuna himself did not care much, for him Cilla was just a unstable child from a rich family who thirsted for attention.

Until without feeling 3 months already Arjuna working as a teacher candidate at SMA Guna Bangsa.

Today, for the first time Arjuna felt the atmosphere of acceptance of the class increase report with the position as a teacher, although not yet a permanent teacher. He felt and finally knew what the teachers were doing to determine the learning outcomes of his students.

Arjuna walked down the hallway through class after class to Mr. Slamet's room. He had just been on the 3rd floor where the 12th grade was located. Had looked around and studied at some of the 12th grade class lecturers, because it is certain that in the new school year Arjuna will teach 12th grade mathematics specifically for IPS classes, because it is certain that in the new school year Arjuna will teach 12th grade mathematics, while for IPA classes will be held by Mr. Husni, a more senior teacher and previously taught in grade 10.

Arjuna slowly opened the door of the principal's room after knocking and was welcome to enter.

A middle-aged man in an old grey suit looked very dignified.

“Well this is the new teacher I mean, sir,” Pak Slamet pointed at Arjuna who just entered.

The middle-aged man nodded with a smile.

“Pak Juna, this is Mr. Darmawan, chairman of the foundation and owner of the school.” Mr. Slamet instead pointed to the man sitting nearby with an open palm position.

Arjuna also reached out, shaking with Mr. Darmawan, who can be ascertained as papi Cilla as well.

Mr. Darmawan's hand grip is quite strong and the other hand patted the arm of Arjuna who was shaking.

“Prepare physically and mentally to overcome the young soul of 12th grade children, Mr. Arjuna,” said Mr. Darmawan while laughing.

“Iya Sir, I am ready to be placed in any class,” replied Arjuna slightly down while laughing softly.

It is not a habit to behave like this when dealing with potential investors or colleagues. But at this time his position was only a teacher who met with the owner of his school.

“Previous Mr Juna works where ?”

Currently Arjuna is sitting on the sofa facing Mr. Darmawan, while Mr. Slamet at the end of the sofa, between the two.

“Marketing Division PT Indopangan Makmur, Pak.”

Mr. Darmawan's forehead was wrinkled to hear Arjuna mention the name of the big company.

“So never had experience as a teacher?”

“Not yet, Sir,” Arjuna smiled thinly. Rather deg deg deg right, do not let Mr. Darmawan change his mind and ask him out, mumpung not yet become a permanent teacher.

“Yakin can learn to be a math teacher here ? The target to be achieved is quite high loh.” Mr. Darmawan raised his eyebrows next to.

Arjuna just laughed a little awkwardly. If you can be honest, he himself is not too sure can be a good teacher, let alone immediately soared hold 12th grade. The responsibility of preparing for the graduation exam feels quite burdensome.

“Yakin, Sir !” answer Arjuna steady.

“And may God bless my intention, Sir,” Arjuna said in his heart.

“Oh yes Sir ..”

“Juna, Sir. Call me Juna only.” says Arjuna.

“Pak Juna yes,” Pak Darmawan. “Maybe Mr. Juna already know from Mr. Slamet that my only daughter is attending school here and will be taught by Mr. Juna.”

Arjuna nodded.

“I know that he is quite troubled at this school because he often goes in and out of BK room. It's a little bit difficult to manage. Please understand because in addition to the only child, Cilla no longer has a mother. I myself am quite busy taking care of some companies. I hope Mr. Arjuna can be more patient with him.”

Arjuna was a little surprised to hear that Cilla was an orphan. Worth it, Arjuna murmured in his heart.---

“I'll do it, Sir.”

“I will try to run a message Mr.”

“I know that he needs an adult figure and I often lack time to pay attention to him,” Mr. Darrmawan's voice turns soft.

”I even hope that he can quickly have a girlfriend so that someone notices him. But of course a gentleman who is polite and appreciates Cilla as a woman, not just from a girlfriend,” Mr. Darmawan laughed softly.

Arjuna just smiled while listening, as well as Mr. Slamet.

“Eh sorry I so vent personal problems,” said Mr. Darmawan while laughing.

”It's okay, Sir. I'm happy to know more about Cilla.”

“You mean ?” Mr. Darmawan knitted his brows making Arjuna who had been smiling ever since become clumsy.

“I mean , it will be easier to approach Cilla if I know a little about his background,” replied Arjuna was not happy because he was afraid that Mr. Darmawan misinterpreted his words.

Mr. Darmawan laughed at Arjuna's nervousness. He patted both of his thighs and got up.

“Alright then. Mr. Slamet, Mr. Arjuna,” Mr. Darmawan took turns greeting the two men in front of him while mentioning each other's names.

“I say goodbye first because I have to go back to the office.”

Mr. Slamet coded Arjuna to walk first to open the door. Arjuna nodded and immediately headed for the door of the room.

“Thank you for the time, Sir,” Arjuna bowed when Mr. Darmawan was at the door. The man laughed while patting Arjuna on the shoulder.

“Thank you also for the opportunity given to me to be a teacher here.”

Mr. Darmawan nodded his head.

Mr. Slamet himself followed Mr. Darmawan until he left the room. Arjuna was confused as to how, but with a gesture from Mr. Slamer, they finally drove Mr. Darmawan to the car park.

“Cilla !” Mr. Darmawan smiled when he found his daughter standing next to the car door.

“Papi,” greet Cilla while smiling forced.

“You already know Mr Arjuna?” Mr. Darmawan turned his body to stand parallel to Cilla and face Arjuna and Mr. Slamet.

It is seen that Cilla just nodded without looking at Arjuna, but had greeted Mr. Slamet by bowing his head briefly.

“Pak Arjuna will teach you in class 12,” Sir

Darmawan grabbed Cilla's shoulder from the side.

”Don't bother Mr. Arjuna during class 12.”

Cilla just smiled bitterly.

“Did papi ask Mr Slamet to put Mr Juna in 12th grade ? In order to keep an eye on Cilla by pretending to be a teacher ?” The question containing the cynical tone made Arjuna dumbfounded.

His face could not cover his surprise. How honest Cilla's question is, making Arjuna's heart feel bad.

Mr. Darmawan frowned while staring at his daughter then laughed.

“You think Mr Arjuna worked as a bodyguard before becoming a teacher here ? Like in a movie you've seen ?” Mr. Darmawan menoel the tip of his daughter's nose.

Cilla looked at Arjuna sharply and with a hostile expression. If you do not remember being faced with the owner of the school and Mr. Slamet, it feels Arjuna wants to return Cilla's gaze.

“May you still live in good condition at the end of the year later,” quipped Cilla with a poignant and cynical tone.

Arjun turned his head to hear this strange creature in front of him. What does it mean to be alive until next year ? Does Cilla mean to eliminate Arjuna or torture him like in mafia films ?

Unknowingly Arjuna twitched both of his shoulders, making Cilla's cynical smile widen, while Pak Slamet and Pak Darmawan laughed after both of them saw Arjuna and Cilla's interaction.
