CHASING THE LOVE OF THE TEACHER

CHASING THE LOVE OF THE TEACHER
A Meeting Without Plan


‘How are you doing Arjuna ?” greet the middle-aged woman while smilingly looking at Arjuna.


 


“Good news Aunt Siska, has not met for a long time,” Arjuna approached mami Siska and gave greetings cipika cipiki to the middle-aged woman.


 


His friendship with Theo, Boni and Lukii is not only a year and two years and is fairly close. The four of them are not only friendly but also passionate and well known by each family.


 


“Still back Jakarta-London, Auntie ? Last time I went home, Theo said that Aunt was in London,” Arjuna again asked after finishing greeting.


 


His last arrival to Theo's house was when Arjuna ran away because he would be reunited with the daughter of his friend Arman.


 


“And you ?” mami Siska pointed at Cilla who was standing near Arjuna.


 


Theo approached Cilla and held onto the two shoulders of the girl who was a little surprised because Cilla's eyes were focusing on Siska's mom who reminded her of someone.


 


“This is her name Cilla, mam. How ? Really pretty and sweet, right?” Theo brings Cilla closer to Siska's mom by holding both of the girl's shoulders.


 


“Good afternoon,Tante,” Cilla nodded with a sweet smile. He stretched out his hand to greet Mami Siska. “Include my name Pricilla, Aunt. Commonly called Cilla.”


 


“I Siska, Cilla. Aunt Siska,” reply mami Siska with a friendly smile. He gestured for Cilla to sit next to him.


 


The meal plan together with Cilla as a cover date a day this Saturday afternoon turned out to be a failure. Arjuna had a sigh and was a bit heavy to sit next to Theo while Cilla sat directly opposite him along with Siska's mami.


 


Theo who already knew Arjuna quite well, saw Arjuna's giraffe but ignored him. Intention wants to introduce Cilla to mami Siska finally deliver although because accidentally. And for Theo this is more important than thinking about Arjuna's feelings. After all, his best friend had made sure that Theo could get close to Cilla even Arjuna would help him.


 


Theo called the waiter and asked the two to order food and drinks. Cilla looks doubtful, he himself wants to feel this day date is really complete with enjoying a meal together with Arjuna. But being in this condition, it was hard to resist.


 


“What do you want to order, Cil ?” Arjuna deliberately asked to confirm Cilla's doubts that they should join Theo and Siska's mom.


Cilla looked up and looked at Arjuna with a questioning look. Arjuna just smiled and nodded. Again the smile even made Cilla fail to focus because his heart was unable to withstand the immediate turbulence. He immediately lowered his head and turned back the menu book but there was no food ordered.


 


Theo smiled faintly at the interaction of the two. He saw that Arjuna was still trying to survive to be mediocre even though Cilla looked wrong with just a smile Arjuna.


 


“Cilla,” call Arjuna. I don't know how many times the menu book was flipped back and forth by Cilla made Arjuna wrinkle his forehead.


 


“I'll come, Sir. All the food I like as long as it is not innards,” said Cilla without lifting his face that is still staring at the menu book.


 


Arjuna shook his head and sighed. Finally he ordered food that as he remembered was Cilla's favorite, sweet, spicy and sour.


 


Mami Siska also had time to pay attention to Cilla and Arjuna who were choosing the menu., even he exchanged views with Theo who nodded with a smile. But they both acted ordinary and pretended not to know.


 


“Eat this first while waiting for your order to come,” mami Siska put the grilled meat on Cilla's plate.


 


“Thank you, Aunt,” Cilla nodded politely. He looks a bit awkward and every time he sees Siska's mami's face, otaknaya immediately works hard to think of someone he himself forgot who.


 


“You are very similar to Sylvia,” said Mami Siska while putting back the meat she had just taken from the grill.


 


Cilla paused for a moment to hear her mammoth name called. He put down his chopsticks and looked at Mami Siska.


 


“Tante knows mami ?” cilla asked as she raised both eyebrows.


 


“Iya,” mami Siska nodded, “Very well acquainted with her.”


 


“It feels good to be able to meet someone who knows mami,” said Cilla with a sparkling face. “Is Aunt friend mami ?”


 


“More than just Cilla's best friend. We are both orphans who live alone. And you,” mami Siska changed her sitting position facing Cilla. “Your face is really similar to Sylvia.”


 


Mami Siska gently rubbed Cilla's cheeks while smiling and teary eyes. As vigorously as he tried to endure his sadness, but slowly both corners of his eyes were wet.


 


Cilla smiled soothingly and immediately hugged Mami Siska.


 


“It feels good to meet someone so close to mommy and love her. Cilla believes that from up there, mami is very happy because Cilla can be reunited with Auntie.”  Cilla broke her embrace and took out a piece of tissue to wash away the tears on Siska's mami's face.


 


“Cilla will take Aunt to mami's grave. Although Aunty can not talk anymore with mom, but Cilla is sure that mommy will be happy to be visited by Aunt.”


 


Before long the waiter delivered additional food and beverage orders for Cilla and Arjuna.


 


It seemed that Theo was so attentive to Cilla and helped the girl grill the meat. Several times Arjuna canceled giving his grill meat to Cila because it was preceded by Theo. Although a little disappointed, but Arjuna still tried to act ordinary.


 


Cilla who is easily familiar has a lot of conversations with Mami Siska. Even his face looks more sparkling when he hears that Siska's mom has a collection of photos with Sylvia's mom. It turns out that they are not only familiar as friends and friends, but also like brothers.


 


Sometimes Arjuna stole a glance at Cilla who was increasingly fun talking with Siska's mother and sometimes Theo also helped him. Only he himself was more silent because he did not know what to say.


 


“Sometimes let Theo take you home. Will Aunty show you all that,” said mami Siska.


 


“Wah is happy, Aunt,” says Cilla with a sparkling face.


 


“But not free, “ says Theo.  “The payment is expensive and should be special.”


 


Cilla laughed and nodded. “For the members of Lima Pandawa there must always be something special let alone the same Om Theo,” said Cilla while chuckling.


 


“Five Pandavas ? About Theo ? ” ask mami Siska with frown,


 


Cilla laughed and nodded. He also told the outline of their first meeting at Dono's wedding, the reason why he called the friends of Arjuna with om and the name Five Pandavas for the five men who vacationed with him.


 


Mami Siska listened to all the stories Cilla delivered full of enthusiasm. There was happiness in his heart when he saw Sylvia's son growing well even without a mother who accompanied.


 


“Take a meal, Cil,” Theo beckoned Cilla to keep eating her food order while telling her a story.


 


Cilla who noticed that Arjuna was more silent at this time, took the meat on his teacher's plate.


 


“Hei!”


 


Arjuna who was shocked when he saw the chopsticks Cilla was already on his plate. The reflex of his hand which was also holding the chopsticks held down Cilla's chopsticks.


The girl only laughed as Arjuna looked at her frowning.


 


“Don't be stingy dong, sir. Meat is still a lot, I like it that is a bit cold so that the tongue is not numb,” Cilla pulled her chopsticks that have clamped some poton daing from the Arjuna plate.


 


“I got Cilla,” Theo took a piece of meat from the grill and was about to put it on Cilla's plate but the girl pulled the plate away and shook her head.


 


“Today Mr. Arjuna is my date, Om Theo. So as a girlfriend, it should have given some of hers to her lover. Is it Mr Arjuna?”


 


Cilla laughed while looking at Arjuna who immediately misbehaved and bumbling smile.  Arjuna glanced at Theo who was looking at him with both eyebrows turning and a question mark expression.Arjuna was sure that Theo was upset at this time.


 


How could Arjuna who promised to help approach Cilla with Theo until they were made, even now invites Cilla to go alone with the status of a date.


 


“Theo. Cilla mean…. “ Arjuna confused to give an explanation to Theo.


 


“Today Mr. Arjuna asked me to accompany him looking for a gift, Om, and in return Mr. Arjuna was willing to be my special date today. Om. Let it be only a few hours, at least I can feel the name dating, Om. Besides feeling not only in PHP the same Pak Arjuna or made baper doang,” said Cilla at length explained to Theo while laughing.


 


Theo further frowned looking at Arjuna who was getting more and more wrong. Wanted it to feel like he was smothering Cilla's mouth so the girl would stop babbling. Even Cilla is not sensitive to read the look on Theo's face already looks annoyed.


 


“Basic baby duck !” the Arjuna's nagging in his heart.


Mami Siska who had been listening and watching the interaction of the three young people in front of her, just smiled and saw everything like a triangle love drama scene.


 


“Elo same explanation debt me, Jun,” whispered Theo in Arjuna's ear with a firm tone.


 


Arjuna who was chewing meat immediately swallowed it with difficulty, even feeling still stuck in his throat. Arjuna immediately took a glass and gulped it down quite a bit.


 


Cilla looked at Arjuna while frowning. He wondered in his heart to see Arjuna's attitude that looked wrong. He also refilled Arjuna glass with water that is provided at each table in a glass teapot.


 


“Father is fine ?” Cilla thrust the glass of Arjuna that has been filled again.


 


Arjuna just nodded and went back to drinking water in a glass . He did not pay attention to Theo who was smiling while looking the other way, as well as to Siska's mother who was smiling to see Arjuna's situation.
