CHASING THE LOVE OF THE TEACHER
MCGP 2

Sean was impatient to get off when Arjuna's car stopped in the parking lot of his family's house. Papa Arman is waiting on the terrace.

After getting word from Arjuna about Cilla's pregnancy, Mama Diva invited them to dinner at the Arjuna family home.

“Sore, Pa,” greet Arjuna and Cilla alternately while kissing Papa Arman's cheek.

Sean had already crashed in his opal sling, whining to be invited to the fish pond.

“Sean, can not splash into the fish pond, already afternoon and Sean already shower,” firmly Cilla with a gaze that can not be denied.

Sean's face was instantly bent and his lips were manyuning, staring at his eyes for protection and help but Papa Arman just laughed.

“Sean must be together with Mami. If you come here again, Opa invite to buy fish and swim but not in the fish pond.”

Sean had stuck out his tongue at Cilla who replied with the same thing. Since at home, the 2-year-old boy was careless because Arjuna forbade him to plunge into Cilla's sling like a koala child.

“There is baby dedek in mommy's belly. Sean will soon be called brother. Sean happy not ?”

“No want if Sean can't carry mami.”

With a little extra patience, Cilla explained to the boy while taking him to take a bath.

“Sore, Mom. Hi Manda,” greet Cilla when entering the kitchen to meet her in-laws and sister-in-law.

“Halo darling ? What is your current pregnancy ?”

“While it doesn't feel weird yet, Ma. Hopefully safe until the lahiran.”

“Yang is not safe, said Kak Juna, a child, wife is also still in college udah made to soar again aja,” lead Amanda while laughing.

”You envy ?” sahut Arjuna who just followed to the kitchen.

“Sore, Ma.”

“Sore also Jun.”

“Who is envious ?” freak Amanda with a sewot look.

“Prepare for a new marriage 8 years if you want to remain the same prospective doctor,” led Arjuna while plucking a piece of cornbasket at the table.”

“Biarin ! Still not head 3 too right ?”

“8 Years later Cilla has become a mother of 4 or 5 children,” said Arjuna while raising his eyebrows staring at Cilla who immediately glared.

“Meaning Mas Juna want to have a child how much ? Want to make a basketball team ?”

“Football team, darling,” says Arjuna while stealing a kiss on Cilla's cheek.

“Mas Juna is pregnant and giving birth if you want to make a football team !” cilla's nagging with pursed lips.

“Most stay find young wife again,” led Amanda while laughing.

“Away with you talking !” Arjuna immediately grabbed his sister's head.

“Kak Juna ih !”

“Party if you like origin. Watch out for weapons eat sir !” cibir Arjuna's.

Amanda clenched her hand toward Arjuna to coincide with Papa's entry while leading Sean.

Upon seeing Amanda, the boy immediately ran up to Cilla and hid his face on the thigh of Cilla who was sitting on the dining chair.

“Halo handsome boy !”

“Onti naughty !”

“Again fussy because it can not be a koala child with her mother,” said Arjuna with a voice whispering.

“Basic baby koala !” stick Amanda while sticking her tongue out at Sean.

”Bialin.. Kan kayak mami so baby koalanya papi,” Sean said back stick his tongue out at Amanda.

“Pantes aja stomach easy to soar, apparently papi mami you like to play so daddy and baby koala, Sean.”

“Sotoy ! Have you had the same experience with Jovan?” ask Arjuna while yelling at his sister's temple.

“Do not spread hoax deh !” midget Amanda.

“Manda was afraid Jovan changed his mind so tied up first so as not to run away,” timpal Cilla while laughing.

“Awas if dare !” threaten Mama while glaring.

Sean laughed while covering his mouth, he was happiest if Amanda was made to snatch because the tantenya that one likes to judge Sean the most.

“What are you laughing at, bad boy !” amanda's nagging glares at Sean. Instead of being afraid, the boy who was still struggling with Cilla stuck out his tongue again, rubbing against the pouting-faced Amanda.

“Heran the Manda, a great hobby of fighting with Sean,” Cilla laughed while gesturing Arjuna to put their son in a special dining chair for children.

“Finished Sean is a bum, like his father,” Amanda grumbled.

“The name is also Kak Juna's son, the time you want to be like Jovan who always caved with you.”

“You're already big, Manda. Do not like to snack, for a long time Jovan can run out of his patient recommendations,” Papa's advice.

Amanda sighed, confirming papa's remark that Jovan often lost his temper when Amanda sulked.

The atmosphere of the dinner was warm and pleasant as usual to make Cilla always happy because from the beginning Papa Arman and Mama Diva always treated her like their biological children.

“There is no other option, your mother should be operated immediately to prevent the spread of cancer cells that are increasingly widespread.”

Luna was silent, standing in front of the ICU room. His face looks haggard, his life is getting messy when he finds out he is two-bodied while mom has to undergo cancer treatment.

“How long can my mama wait, Doc ?”

“At most 2 weeks but I can't guarantee to stop its spread with just drugs. Surgery will not clean all cancer cells, but minimize their spread.”

“I'll be looking for the cost soon, Doc.”

The doctor nodded and left Luna who immediately sat limp in the chair in front of the ICU room.

Her tears could no longer be held back, her life had been heavy lately. So many regrets filled his mind including his decision to accept the proposal of a widower whom the rich thought he had.

They were almost 20 years old and the man claimed to be a divorced widow with his wife of almost 7 years. Luna who was tempted by the luxury that had given the man was finally willing to be his wife. They had married Siri for 6 months and Luna was declared pregnant.

Happiness for 6 months it began to be problematic 2 months ago when mama Sofia was declared to have stage 4 uterine cancer.

Raja, Luna's husband refused to help with medical expenses and began looking for excuses until he rarely came home.

Exactly 1 month ago, the King's legal wife came to see Luna at the house she had been in since her marriage to the King. It turned out that the house was only a contract and the wealth that the King was giving was the property of his legal wife.

Like the soap opera stories, Luna and Mama are driven out without mercy. All the jewels that the King once gave were taken by his wife including the rest of the money given by the King.

Before entering the hospital, Mama once suggested to abort Luna because she was worried that the King would not admit and finance her child. Luna's little heart refused and she decided to let the boy live even if the King would not admit it.

Luna took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. He also regrets still maintaining prestige and has been looking for a fuss with Cilla even though at this time only his former half-sister is the most likely to help him. Sorry for coming to Arjuna instead of Cilla directly.

Luna wiped her tears and woke up. There was no other choice but to come back to Cilla and this time Luna was determined to plead with her for her recovery.
