CHASING THE LOVE OF THE TEACHER
Arjuna's Concerns

This afternoon the papi hospital room was crowded with the visit of the teachers plus the three friends of Cilla and Mama Diva and aunt Siska who came to bring lunch for Cilla and sweets for guests who came.

This morning during a trip to the office, Arjuna had contacted Mama Diva and asked to accompany Cilla who would be the arrival of the teachers of Guna Bangsa High School.

Papi looked happy and his face looked fresh. Finished spending time in the garden, papi forced to bathe himself in the bathroom. Doctor Handoyo allows and asks the nurse to remove the papi infusion tube.

“Elo why ?” Jovan, who had noticed Cilla's facial expression, approached her little friend who was allowed to leave the room for a while.

“Nothing. Again want to phone Mas Juna,” Cilla shows his phone.

“Do not lie !” Jovan. “Gue so friends elo not just fit SMP and SMA doang. Elo can laugh hahahahahihi, but elo eyes can not lie.”

Cilla sat on the bench in front of the elevator. Seen several long sighs with a bowed face. His legs continued to sway as if he wanted to channel his heartbreak.

“I don't feel very good about papi,” Cilla.

“Not it today bokap look fresher and vibrant ?” Jovan knitted his brows.

“Iya anyway, but do not know why I feel even bad,” Cilla again sighed. “That night had dropped again, like fainting so. I see, the rash on his stomach is also slightly widened. Elo know that I am a subscription bentol-bentol because of allergies, so I know how uncomfortable the rash in the body papi.”

“What did the doctor say?”

“Medically the doctor has gone out of hand, just waiting for a miracle from God. The more drugs given to papi, the more widespread also the complications.”

Cilla looked up at Jovan with eyes that were getting wet.

“Why is my parents' life like this, Jo ?” Cilla started sobbing.

At first Jovan wants to hold Cilla in his arms, but given Cilla's current status as Arjuna's wife, Jovan only holds Cilla's fingers, grasping her to share her grief while giving Cilla strength.

“All that is God's will, Cil. Never think of it as a disaster because there must be another more beautiful plan that God has prepared for elo and om Rudi.”

“It feels like wondering about a lot of things, Jo, but I know then there are only regrets and regrets. Life can't be replayed like soap operas.”

“Iya really, Cil. Nine years I lived wondering about my attitude about the incident of Kak Mia and Aunt Sofi. Do I have the answers and the solutions ? Throughout those nine years I just lived in regret without being able to think clearly to find another way out. So don't live my life like that, not good.”

“But having a resigned attitude is not as easy as saying in the mouth yes, Jo.”

“Not for the sake of pleasing elo, but that's real. After a hundred percent is difficult at the beginning, but elo a lot of prayers aja Cil, long-hearted elo certainly more receptive.”

The sound of the elevator doors stopping near them made Cilla and Jovan turn their heads there. Arjuna looked with a slightly anxious face out of the elevator. His eyes narrowed when he saw Jovan's hand still holding Cilla's fingers.

“Mas Juna !” Cilla got up and walked over to her husband and hugged him. Her cry came back as Cilla's head leaned against Arjuna's chest.

“Cilla why ?” Arjuna who hugged Cilla back frowned, his hand as usual rubbed Cilla's back. Arjuna looked at Jovan and looked at the former student questioningly.

Jovan just shrugged his shoulders and with a sharp gesture left Arjuna and Cilla still hugging.

“Mas Juna can you come back here ? Isn't today the schedule solid ?” Cilla stretched her arms and looked up at Arjuna with the rest of her sobs.

Arjuna reached into her work pants and pulled out a handkerchief to clean Cilla's tears.

“The feeling of Mas Juna is not calm. The important work has been done Mas Juna, the rest ask help Tino who takes care. Papa also helped and told Mas Juna to accompany Cilla aja.”

“Cilla is very crybaby, yes ?” Cilla laughed bitterly amid her tears that came back to drip.

“Nothing. It would be better if Cilla could express her sadness with tears than to keep it in her heart. Mas Juna was not willing to see the buried wound in the gaze of Cilla.”

Cilla nodded and let Arjuna go back to cleaning her tears. The two plan to return to the papi's room when Mr. Slamet and the teachers are seen walking towards them.

“You're back, Sir ?” ask Arjuna while greeting the teachers who had been his coworkers while teaching at SMA Guna Bangsa.

“June's usual, there's still work to be done at school. Soon class increase,” said Mr. Slamet.

After a short chat, Mr. Slamet and five teacher representatives entered the elevator ushered in by Arjuna and Cilla.

“Mas Juna really nothing stay in the office ?” cilla asked as Arjuna took her back to the papi room.

“Nothing. It's real, really. Problems in the Trunk while this is represented the same Dimas. It turns out that the boy was quite masterful about factory preparation. Papi had indeed prepared him to help Mas Juna when the factory was running.”

“Thankful that Dimas helped. He is the favorite child of papi,” said Cilla.

“What do not-don't initially papi intend to match Cilla same Dimas ?” asked Arjuna with narrowed eyes.

“No,” Cilla laughs softly. “Dimas is more like a sister to Cilla and Tami was like her sister Cilla. If the problem is prospective daughter-in-law, papi's refusal to offer papa wants to match us maybe because papi does not want to force Mas Juna who said he already has a prospective wife.”

Arjuna laughed and opened the door for Cilla. Everyone in the room looked up. Cilla's three best friends, Mama Diva and Aunt Siska.

“Duh kirain run away where?” ledek Aunt Siska when she saw Cilla was struggling spoiled on Arjuna's arm.

“Ya already, invite husband to eat first,” said aunt Siska showed lunch brought by mama Diva.

“Just a moment to papi first,” said Cilla released her hand from Arjuna's arm approaching papi.

Arjuna himself had a smile and looked at Mama Diva with a gaze full of sign language.

Arjuna's return to the hospital is Papa Arman's order. After the morning meeting, he immediately told Arjuna to shift his duties to Tino and some important meetings that could be postponed to another day, while important meetings that could not be canceled, he said, replaced by Papa Arman.

Not only did Jovan read Cilla's uneasiness, Mama Diva also noticed her daughter-in-law's unsettled attitude since mama came. Feeling that only Arjuna can calm down, Mama Diva immediately contacted Papa Arman and asked Arjuna to return to the hospital to accompany his wife.

Papi who turned out to have finished lunch and took his medicine chose to sleep because he felt a little tired. After hearing the subtle snoring of papi, Cilla joined the others. Arjuna who had been accompanying him had only been following him from behind.

Febi and Lili who looked at Cilla's slightly swollen eyes seemed to be frowning. Jovan signals Febi and Lili not to ask much.

Arjuna deliberately told Cilla to sit quietly and let Arjuna feed him.

“Duh Pak Juna, do not make us so envious, dong,” protest Lili with a pouting face.

“Each of you want to find a girlfriend,” ledk Arjuna without caring for the gaze of all who are there pay attention to his attitude that painstakingly feeds Cilla.

“Have a girlfriend who is like Mr. Juna, do not use for a long time directly invited to marry,” said Lili.

“Basic latent chick !” foe Febi's scolding while glaring. “Where anyone wants to directly invite elo to marry. Guys need to think carefully, because elo mouth react faster than elo brain !“

“Duh Febi don't drop my self-esteem dong !” nagging Lili with an annoyed face.

“No falling,” ledek Jovan chiming. “Elo self-price is already long under, so where are you going to fall again ?”

“Dih really do !” replace Lili looked at Jovan with an annoyed face.

“Udah anyway don't pout so. I have a face elo pas-pasan more ugly aja,” Cilla chuckles. His hands stretched out to pick up one piece of cake that was on the table.

“Here I bribe, let's not envy again,” Cilla directly thrust the cake in front of Lili's mouth.

“This is what the hell again ?” Lili frowned and glanced at the cake that Cilla was thrusting.

“Elo will envy see I was bribed with Mas Juna. This is my cake bribe for elo let not envy again.”

Lili nagged but as Cilla continued to approach the cake she was holding, finally Lili's mouth opened as well, biting on the cake that Cilla was thrusting and finally taking the cake, holding it with her own hands.

Mama Diva and Aunt Siska just laughed at everything. Arjuna again called Cilla and continued to feed Cilla while instead of enjoying lunch with the same spoon.

Not long ago Mama Diva and Aunt Siska said goodbye to go home and will return to the hospital later this afternoon with their husbands.

Cilla's three best friends also took part because there was Arjuna who accompanied Cilla. In addition, the three want to provide privacy considering Arjuna returned to the hospital when he had not been to the office for a long time, certainly because there is a special reason.

“Cilla earlier why ?” asked Arjuna while stroking the hair of Cilla who slept on Arjuna's thigh. The two sat on the sofa watching television.

“Cilla is very worried about papi,” said Cilla with a sad tone.

Cilla also told her conversation with papi in the park earlier.

“So that papi greeting that makes Cilla's heart not good?”

Cilla turned around in a supine position and looked at Arjuna while gnawing. Cilla's eyes started to glaze over again.

“Every time talking resignedly, it feels like Cilla is hard to hold back tears,” softly with a sad face.

“You need prayer together ?” juna asked with a smile and caressed Cilla's face.

“Bby,” Cilla nodded and returned to a sitting position adhering to Arjuna.

The atmosphere of silence, the two hands of the husband and wife clasped each other until finally the chant of prayer came out of Cilla's lips. Tears were no longer able to hold him.

Arjuna held Cilla into his arms giving a loving swipe from the head and then moved to Cilla's back and let his wife let go of all the feelings that filled her heart cavity in Arjuna's arms.

“In fact Cilla also saw mami was near papi a few days ago. Did mommy miss papi so much to meet mami again?”

Arjuna shuddered at Cilla's words that sounded a little mystical in Arjuna's ears. His eyes briefly glanced around the room, hoping he would not come to see the figure of Sylvia's mother who had not been known directly.

“Honey, we pray the best for papi, yes,” said Arjuna with the intention of calming Cilla.

Arjuna frowned as he felt Cilla be still, not even a movement of his head.

Arjuna looked down and finally smiled. It turned out that his weeping wife had fallen asleep in her arms. Slowly Arjuna grabbed the pillow that was nearby and placed Cilla's head on the pillow while Arjuna himself got up from the sofa.

“Whatever happens, Cilla will never be alone again,” said Arjuna who knelt beside the chair, peeping Cilla's forehead in love.
