CHASING THE LOVE OF THE TEACHER
Chapter 31 Holidays in Semarang (3)

Their last tourist destination today is Lawang Sewu, a historic Dutch heritage building that had become the headquarters of a private railway company when it was first established.

Until there, Cilla chose to sit on the outside of the building which means “Seribu Pintu” in Indonesian.

“You're not in, Cil ?” Theo approached Cilla who was already sitting near the gate.

“Nggak Om, it is better to follow quickly, earlier Cilla has asked a guide here to accompany om all.”

Theo finally nodded and waved at Cilla as Luki called out to her to join immediately.

Cilla waited while opening her photo gallery. He smiled to himself as he looked at the photos that added to his collection.

“Sick again ?”

Cilla was surprised when she saw again Arjuna was already nearby even finally sitting next to her.

“No, sir, safe,” Cilla showed her sweet smile.

“Terus why even choose to sit here ?”

“Not interested, Sir. Especially when the month comes, it feels uncomfortable to enter this kind of place,” Cilla laughed softly. “Bapak himself why not join the group.”

“You accompany you,” replied Arjuna of origin.

Cilla patted his eel and chuckled.

“Honored Arjuna Pak,” Cilla tilted her body facing Arjuna. “Bapak forbid me baper because it already has C-A-L-O-N I-S-T-R-I, but the words of the Father provoked my father's soul,” his nagging with a pout face. Cilla deliberately confirmed the word of the future wife while bringing her face closer to Arjuna.

Arjuna laughs, he turns his body until they are now facing each other. Arjun flicked Cilla's forehead, made the girl grimace and then stroked her forehead with a pouting face.

“My name is Pricilla not Amanda,” Cilla grumbled slowly, but Arjuna still heard it.

“I also know that you are Pricilla and not Amanda. Looking at your ugly face I knew right away that you were not my sister. Kissing your body odor moreover,” Arjuna deliberately frowned while covering his nose.

Cilla immediately kissed the two armpits alternately and saw a lump in Arjuna's face that even chuckled.

“Bau where are you from ? I need to shower three times a day. Don't forget the heavier retaliation, Mr Arjuna !” Cilla.

“Or don't you actually like me too ? My body odor has been opium in the nose of the Father?” Cilla leaned her face quite close to that of - Arjuna with narrowed eyes.

Arjuna was shocked and turned his face back to unconsciousness when he was too far away and almost fell down. Spontaneous Cilla pulled Arjuna's hand until instead of falling backwards, Arjuna staggered forward. She accidentally hugged Cilla.

Both of them were silent in an unexpected position, until Arjuna finally regained his senses, released his embrace and hurried to his feet.

Cilla was also mistaken with a reddened face not just waking up, but he walked away from Arjuna. He held his chest because his heart was beating so fast that it felt like it was going to be dislodged.

Cilla walked a little hasty out of Lawang Sewu area, looking for minimarket to buy drinks.

When he opened the refrigerator, he remembered Arjuna's message not to consume cold drinks when his stomach was sick because it came months.

Cilla hit her own head. Why should you even remember the advice of a man who sometimes gives attention but always reminds Cilla that he is a man who already has a wife.

Cilla shook her head, trying to remove the thought of Arjuna from her brain.

Finally he chose 5 drinks in the refrigerator and one from the usual shelf for himself.

When Cilla returned, he saw that the Five Pandavas had gathered at the place where he had been sitting.

“Where to Cil ?” Asked Boni while wiping the sweat that was pouring on his face.

Cilla just pointed at her shopping bag. Today the weather was quite hot in Semarang city. Not only Boni is covered in sweat, others are also, especially Cilla who has just walked back and forth to the minimarket.

Cilla gave her shopping bag and was immediately accepted by Luki and shared the contents with her friends.

“So why not come, Jun ?” Erwin glanced at his best friend who looked so awkward with a reddened face.

“Don't say that elo...” Boni signals towards Lawang Sewu building.

“Gue has been here with Amanda,” says Arjuna fast. His face was still flushed and he avoided the gaze with Cilla.

Theo squinted his eyes, noticing Cilla and Arjuna's slightly suspicious behavior, but he said nothing.

“The place is cool, Cil,” Luki raised her thumb. “But give the impression of haunted because the building is still maintained authenticity.”

“Iya, Om. It is said that there are indeed a few scary stories about Lawang Sewu, especially the part of his basement which according to history was once used as a prison,” said Cilla who continued to gulp his bottle.

“Beverage is not cold, sir,” Cilla deliberately brought the bottle closer to Arjuna to reduce its awkwardness. The man just nodded and smiled awkwardly.

“Where else is this, Cil ?” Ask Theo. He smiled to himself and was convinced that something had happened between Cilla and Arjuna.

“You buy souvenirs typical of Semarang, Om ?”

“Can tomorrow at the airport, Cil ?” Ask Boni who looks still hot.

“Can be Om, tomorrow is still hunted, kok.”

“What about the hotel first, Cil ?” Erwin asked who looked a little limp from the heat.

“Okay then we're back at the hotel, yeah. Om at rest, we will gather in the lobby at 5, so that the night time is longer.”

The four men nodded while Arjuna gulped down his drink again.

They also returned to the hotel which is only 5 minutes from Lawang Sewu and returned to their respective rooms with sleepy faces.

In the afternoon, as usual, Cilla was the first to wait in the lobby while Lima Pandawa had not seen the trunk of her nose.

Cilla returned to fill her time by exchanging messages with Febi and Lili who were still enjoying a vacation with their families. Cilla sighed, removing the envy in her heart that more often spent the holidays alone or even worked to dispel her grief.

“Cil,” Boni patted the girl on the shoulder.

Cilla looked up and smiled when she saw the Five Pandavas were ready and looked fresher after taking an afternoon shower. Cilla got up from the sofa and gave her smile as usual.

“Hungry already, Om ?” Cilla asked as she stepped into the lobby door. Questions were asked for the five established men who became his travel companions this time.

“Starting with his stomach, Cil,” Erwin who said. Cilla nodded.

“OK then we will eat fried rice tripe. I have already confirmed that they are open. Looks like they know will be visited by handsome men from Jakarta,”’Ujar Cilla while laughing softly.

This afternoon Cilla asked Pak Tono to pass a different road, a little soar, to look at the other side of the city of Semarang that they had never passed.

A little longer than the normal time they arrive at their destination. Cilla seems to have known the owner of the restaurant.

“Where Om, don't you like ? This place is very crowded if the night especially on the weekend. Cheap festive food that is quite famous in Semarang.”

All five nodded including Arjuna who enjoyed the fried rice in front of him.

An hour later, they sat back in the car.

“Where Om, want to try a relaxing coffee place at a cafe in the Old City ? Or want to go directly to Simpang Lima ?”

They looked at each other and finally agreed to go coffee to the Old City.

“Keren is indeed Cil, not inferior to the atmosphere of the cafe in Paris,” Erwin said when they had sat in one of the local cafes of Semarang.

“Big cool Om Erwin has been to Paris, sometime I want to come, dong,” said Cilla while laughing.

“When to Paris, Win ?” Luki frowned.

“Never,” Erwin grinning horse makes Cilla glare then sneer.

“Do not be too trusting with Erwin, Cil,” cebik Boni. “Most read primbon so like halu.”

“Eh bambang, let's never go there, at least I listen to the situation in romantic movies. Emangny Elo watching a horror movie. Deliberately let Mimi stick around.”

“Let the angel, Bro,” Boni raise her eyebrows.

“Geli tablets!” Luki pelt Boni the straw wrapping paper that had been rolled by her.

Arjuna and Theo just listened and laughed. The two were more passive listeners and allowed the four people in front of them to put each other down.

“Cover tonight we go to Simpang Lima yes, Om. Mr. Tono just drove us there, walking home. How ?”

“Ngak kemalaman Ciil ?” Theo glanced at his watch and saw the time was already 10.

“Five foot exposure at Simpang Lima average close at 12 pm, Om. Already here, dear if not look at Simpang Lima. After all tomorrow Om all can get up late or sleep again after breakfast and we check-out around 12 for lunch before going to the airport.”

Finally they agreed to follow Cilla to Simpang Lima.
