CHASING THE LOVE OF THE TEACHER
Arjuna's

“Include this my wife, Ms. Desi,” Arjuna introduces Cilla while embracing her beloved duck child possessively.

“So we have acquaintances in the restroom,” said Cilla when he saw the two were still surprised to ignore Arjuna's remarks.

“Mas Juna continued his meeting, later sought after by Tino. Cilla no need with Om Bastian also.”

With a movement of his body, Cilla broke away from Arjuna's embrace and approached Sebastian who immediately accepted Cilla's request.

“Oh yes Bu Desi,” Cilla stopped and turned his head. “I am not a sugar baby and Ma'am Aggita, my marriage is indeed betrothed but that does not mean we do not love each other.”

Cilla smiled sweetly with an emotionless face making Arjuna instantly shudder. It would be even more terrifying if Cilla was in this kind of situation.

“Wait a minute, Dim. I didn't take long, though. Limabelas the longest minute. Elo wait in the lobby first I will follow.”

Cilla invites Sebastian back into the restaurant and returns to meet Sisi.

Whether what Cilla was talking about, Arjuna's heart was not calm, his mind was everywhere. Arjuna realizes that Cilla knows about his lies and these two women must have done something to Cilla.

“Our discussion today seems to be enough for today, Ms. Desi. Problem request Bu Desi to be a distributor I will learn first.”

Arjuna looks annoyed with the woman before him. I don't know what they said, surely their words were enough to upset Cilla.

It only took ten minutes, Cilla was out again from the restaurant with Sebastian.

“I say goodbye first, Om. Greetings to Sister Kirana,” Cilla smiled as she nodded her head.

“Take care of yourself and remember there are already other lives you need to pay attention to.”

“Yes, I must take good care of you, Om. Thank you.”

Cilla turned around and was about to leave the restaurant, ignoring Arjuna who came straight to her, ignoring the two women who had been looking for trouble with Cilla.

Cilla clasped Arjuna's hand that was holding her, making Arjuna only able to sigh deeply.

Both Arjuna and Cilla contacted the driver who took them to come to the hotel lobby.

“Dim, motor left alone at the hotel, elo same I ride the car. Later I will return here again,” said Cilla when dealing with Dimas in the hotel lobby.

“Re-flip, Cil. From school back to the hotel continues to the house elo it is not unidirectional, after all finished school affairs, I want to take Tami to the doctor, aja.” control

“Nnothing, have not talked to Elo and Tami for a long time. I'll go to her doctor too. It's easier to take Tami by car than by motor.’Why don't you ever ask me for help again?”

Cilla's face pouted with pursed lips made Dimas laugh.

“Elo forgot that you are married ? Do you have a husband ? And don't realize that elo man is a possessive and protective guy. Look at him again walking here. Surely he was afraid that his wife who was sulking even went on a motorcycle with me.”

“He wants to go back to the office,” said Cilla with his face still bent.

“Cilla equals Mas Juna,” without permission Arjuna directly cooperates with Cilla. “Meet directly there yes, Dim.”

Dimas nodded and followed Cilla's steps to make Cilla not strike with Arjuna.

Arjuna opens the front passenger door for Cilla and asks Dirman to come with Pak Pujo back home.

Arjuna has asked Ami for help to cancel all his promises today to straighten out his problems with Cilla.

Slowly Arjuna took the car away from the hotel. Cilla herself directly leaned her head against the door.

“Cilla about earlier..”

“Cilla is very sleepy Mas Juna,” cut Cilla kalem. “Cilla want bobo first.”

“Ya already, Cilla bobo first, later Mas Juna wake up if you have arrived. Still 35 minutes to go there,” Arjuna rubbed Cilla's head gently and let Cilla sleep.

Until finally the car arrives in front of a simple shophouse where Cilla with Dimas rocks, Tami and Pak Wahyu, set up a kind of course for street children, scavengers and beggars to learn to read, and, writing and counting

“Tami !” pekik Cilla with a face of sumringah

“Wah mama young has arrived,” ledek Tami “Duh ushered the same husband again. Truly a dream husband and wife mainstay.”

“Wah like noon there is gossip,” Arjuna who just entered trying to join in joking with Tami and Cilla.

Cilla herself only smiled faintly and glanced at Arjuna. His heart still hurts not because of women but Arjuna's lies.

As if forgetting the sadness of his heart with Arjuna's attitude, when with Dimas, Tami and Pak Wahyu, Cilla seemed excited to discuss their program for the next year.

Until finally the conversation just ended at 4 pm because Tami still had to go to the doctor.

“Cilla,” Arjuna touched Cilla's fingers when they had re-split the road with the goal of returning home.

“Hmmm.”

Although not dismissing Arjuna's fingers but Cilla also did not reply.

“Sorry Mas Juna lied to Cilla,” continued Arjuna. “Mas Juna does not want Cilla to worry and think, then stress and finally disturb the condition of Cilla and baby. Mas Juna has no other intent.”

“Hmm.,”

Cilla's gaze was still to the side of the window with her head leaning against the door.

“What Bu Desi and Anggita do Cilla sugar baby ?”

Arjuna tries to lure Cilla into opening her voice by asking questions. But it turned out to be a failure because no answer came out of Cilla's mouth even his wife's eyes were closed, as if asleep.

Arjuna could only sigh and let go of his grasp as he had to focus on the congested highway.

Forty-five minutes later the car that Arjuna was carrying finally reached their home. Cilla who did not sleep immediately opened her eyes and removed her seatbelt and got out of the car.

Bik Mina who saw the quiet atmosphere of dinner understood that there was something going on between the couple.

After eating, Cilla did not go straight to the room, but rather towards the back shed accompanied by Bik Mina.

”Please Bang Toga and Bang Dirman take out these bags and put them in the car. Tomorrow I walk around 9 am.”

“Cilla where to go?” Arjuna who did not find his wife in the room immediately followed to the back shed after asking Cilla's whereabouts to the other servants in this house.

“Antar these items to the orphanage,” said Cilla without wanting to look at Arjuna then passed through Arjuna back into the house.

Arjuna sighed again, following Cilla's steps back to their room.

Cilla went straight into the bathroom and this time locked the door until Arjuna could not catch up.

Finished with her night ritual, Cilla exits the bathroom and passes through Arjuna without saying anything. It feels like Arjuna's hands are itching to hold it, but Arjuna does not have the courage to face the attitude of Cilla who chose this silence rather than anger as usual.

When Arjuna came out of the bathroom, Cilla was definitely fast asleep because of the sound of a smooth snoring as Arjuna approached.

Arjuna looked at his wife's face with guilt. It feels silenced Cilla for the mistakes made Arjuna very tormented.

Arjuna tried to reach Cilla's sleeping body with his back. I want to hug Cilla tonight and whisper a million apologies in his wife's ears.

But it seems Cilla's body has not been able to make up with Arjuna. As Arjuna's hand hugged Cilla's body, with her eyes closed, Cilla pushed Arjuna's body back and turned, turning back to Arjuna so that the man could only resign. Tonight there was no warm embrace of Arjuna's beloved duckling, no babble and no scolding that Arjuna could hear.

Finally Arjuna went to sleep after a while only able to look at Cilla's back with a distance.

🍀🍀🍀

Hope Cilla's heart situation is better this morning. Arjuna out the bathroom. But there was only a work manger complete with a tie that Cilla prepared, but the figure of his wife was not in the room.

Arjuna took a long breath. Just this time Cilla wasn't waiting for him in the room, ready to pair a tie while chattering about things.

Finished getting dressed, Arjuna headed straight for the dining room. There's only Bik Mina there.

“Cilla where, Bik ?”

“While outside arrange goods get into the car, Den. But it was already a message, if Den Juna has come here, Non Cilla asked to be called.”

Bik Mina left her activities and called Cilla outside.

Again there was no cheerful sound of his ducklings greeting the morning Arjuna. Cilla was still in silent mode and sat face to face with Arjuna.

His hands remained deftly serving Arjuna enjoyed breakfast, but his mouth remained locked, not even the slenderest smile there.

“Later noon finished between goods directly to the office, yes ? We had lunch with.”

“No way, no hunting,” said Cilla without looking at Arjuna.

“Mas Juna wait until Cilla is finished, it's okay to be late, Mas Juna just internal meeting, kok.”

“No need, Cilla still there need to go somewhere else.”

“Cilla..”.

“Cilla has asked Pak Pujo to pick up Mas Juna this morning,” cut Cilla while moving from his chair and bring his used dishes to the dishwasher.

“Cilla where to go?” arjuna asked when he saw his wife leaving the dining room.

“Mandi, it's sultry. Cilla want to go pagian.”

Arjuna sighed without being able to prevent Cilla from passing. But not long after Arjuna decided to follow Cilla to the room.

Cilla only glanced over from the wardrobe as soon as she saw Arjuna coming into the room.

Without further ado, Arjuna immediately pulled Cilla and hugged her until the clothes in Cilla's hand came off and fell to the floor.

“Im sorry Mas Juna. Excuse me. Mas Juna is angry that Cilla is upset and disappointed because Mas Juna has lied to Cilla.”

Cilla was silent, not rebellious but also did not return Arjuna's embrace.

“Mas Juna did not want Cilla to think if he knew Tino did not come and then Cilla upset herself and finally Cilla's emotions everywhere. Mas Juna really works professionally even though the meeting is at the hotel. No intention at all to betray Cilla.”

There was a long sigh of Cilla who was still in Arjuna's arms but still not a single word came out of her mouth.

Arjuna stretched out his arms and raised Cilla's chin which avoided a direct gaze with Arjuna.

“Mas Juna will be happier if Cilla nagged as usual rather than silent like this.”

Cilla simply blinked and her eyes glanced back in another direction. Arjuna was disappointed in himself for making one wound look back inside Cilla's gaze.

“Cilla..”.

“Cilla want to shower, sultry, already can not stand.”

Cilla also released Arjuna's embrace and picked up her fallen clothes and went straight into the bathroom.

Arjuna sighed and could only stare at Cilla's back which eventually disappeared behind the bathroom door.

May the afternoon be much better, dear, inner Arjuna.

With heavy steps, Arjuna exited the room and left for the office. Already more than 3 notifications of messages and calls from Tino were ignored by Arjuna.

If only today there was no meeting with papa Arman and the ranks of the higher ups in Indopangan, it would be like Arjuna took leave and spent the day accompanying Cilla.
