CHASING THE LOVE OF THE TEACHER
Family Lunch

Arjuna passed through the terrace feeling anxious and stubborn. It has been almost 8 months he has never climbed his feet here, especially today it is certain that he will meet with Papa Arman. In addition, Cilla's words about the possibility of papa's friend's invitation with his daughter who will be betrothed to Arjuna, making his heart more uncertain.

Amanda was waiting for him in the living room. Only her sister is alone, no Diva mama or Papa Arman.

“Kok his friend was not invited in. I think it's pretty too, but Manda saw it wasn't Kak Luna,” Amanda said as soon as her brother's position was close to her.

“Basic peepsmith,” Arjuna's nagging while yelling at his sister's forehead.

“Iiihh not looking, but waiting for a beloved child who has not come home for a long time. Mama is afraid that if she reaches PHP with Kak Juna,” Amanda sneered and followed the steps of Arjuna who began to step in to meet his mother.

“Where's name?” arjuna asked while looking at Amanda who was standing behind him.

“Still in the kitchen, ready for lunch,” Amanda said relax.

“Keep even sitting in the living room ? You lazy chick ! Instead of helping mama in the kitchen, even fun to play mobile phone in front,” Arjuna scolding with his fierce face. Amanda just stuck out her tongue.

“Udah spelled out to wait for the arrival of Kak Juna. Mama is afraid Kak Juna is just a false promise doang,” said Amanda while sneering.

Arjuna was glued to the dining room. Seen mama Diva is arranging food at the table assisted by the aunt. His longing rushes made him immediately step closer to his mother.

“Ma,” call him slowly. Mama Diva who just realized the arrival of Arjuna stopped her activity and her face immediately sparkled once she found her eldest son already standing in front of her.

“Juna,” call mom Diva full day.

Arjuna immediately hugged his mother tightly, and the Diva mama who returned Arjuna's embrace was unable to hold back her scent with tears.

“Happy birthday, Ma,” Arjuna immediately kissed mama Diva's cheeks after breaking her embrace. Given a flower arrangement and gift that has been prepared. Ah, not only did he prepare, but many of Cilla's roles were there.

“You are bothering to bring all this for mama,” said mama Diva while smiling happily and moved to accept the gift of her son who has long left home.

“Nothing, Ma. Maybe not as big as my mom's collection. This is all Juna bought from Juna's sweat, Ma. From Juna's earnings as a teacher,” said Arjuna with a slightly proud face.

“Iya, Mama is happy to accept your gift not because of the price,” said mama Diva while rubbing Arjuna's shoulder.

Amanda who stood close by just looked happily at everything that was happening in front of her.

“Manda, call papa for lunch now. Your sister must be hungry,” said mama Diva while looking at Amanda.

Arjuna's only sister nodded and called to Papa Arman who was in the backyard taking care of his pet fish.

After cleaning up, Papa Arman went into the dining room and found his wife talking to her eldest son.

“How are you, Pa ?” Arjuna got up and approached Papa Arman. He hesitated to hug his papa, especially Papa Arman's face looked flat without emotion.

“Hmmm,” is just that answer that comes out of papa Arman's mouth and goes straight through Arjuna to sit in the dining chair.

The four of them are already sitting at the dining table with Arjuna position exactly opposite Papa Arman who sits side by side with Mama Diva.

The atmosphere was a little awkward because Papa Arman did not respond too much to the words of Mama Diva who several times tried to open a conversation with Arjuna.

“You feel at home as a teacher, Jun ?” mama Diva asked on the sidelines of their lunch.

“Lumayan, Mom. Need to learn again, let alone the students of Juna 12th grade child, can not be arranged and scolded like children again,” said Arjuna while laughing softly.

“Kakak teaches at SMA Guna Bangsa, right ?” ask Amanda while chewing her rice. “I have friends there too. A 12th grader, but he's the same age as me. Not a direct friend, but a friend of mine.”

“What's his name ? Brother teaches all 12th grade children,” said Arjuna while taking his glass.

“Cilla. Priscilla Darmawan,” say Amanda relax.

Arjuna was surprised to hear the name spoken by Amanda until the water that had just entered his mouth spurted a little face of papa Arman. Fortunately, his plate was empty. Papa Arman immediately looked at Arjuna in annoyance while accepting the tissue given by mama Diva.

“Sorry, Pa. Sorry,” said Arjuna with a face full of guilt.

Without Arjuna looking, Amanda turned to the side and laughed softly. He had already guessed that his brother would be surprised to hear that name.

Papa Arman was silent with his fierce face, not scolding or answering Arjuna's apology.

“Why ? How come you are so surprised to hear that name ? Known by my friend's name?” ask Amanda with a face made as smooth as possible.

“Know,” replied Arjuna briefly and sipped a little of his drink. “No one does not know Cilla. The son of the school owner who also subscribes to BK space, a chatty girl who likes to argue with teachers,” said Arjuna smoothly with an expression that is too animating because while imagining Cilla's face.

“Iih kok nyebelin but big brother smile that?” asked Amanda while raising both eyebrows.

 Arjuna who was aware of his behavior hurriedly turned his head in the other direction and coughed slightly.

“Because the duck child looks funny if his face is upset to receive the punishment of the head of OSIS or teacher BK,” said Arjuna origin.

“Duck boy ?” Amanda knitted her eyebrows. “Feelings my friend never called him a duckling. Is that a special call from Kak Arjuna ?”

“Not ! Not a special call from my sister. But a lot of people call him that because he's always a prankster and likes to argue guru.”

“But as far as I know, Cilla's a submissive son is a teacher. Is it because Kak Juna is a special teacher ?” said Amanda while laughing. “Don't tell me that brother has flirted with my friend it's !”

 Arjuna's face immediately reddened to hear Amanda's words making Mama Diva and Papa Arman look at each other.

“Waahhh seems like Manda's guess is right, Pa, Ma. Tuh see the face of Kak Juna directly blushing that,” ledek Amanda while laughing.

“Where is the teacher flirting with his student,” elak Arjuna while staring intently at Amanda.

“Or don't-don't that drive earlier it's Cilla, yes ?” ledek Amanda's. “From far away looks the face of a girl who came down from the mobi is still cute.”

Arjuna glared more and more at his sister and gestured to tell Amanda to keep her mouth shut.

“Whose are you delivered to, Jun ?” mama asked Diva while raising her eyebrows.

“Prospective daughter-in-law mom,” say Amanda fast. “People are cute and look really young,” ledeknya back.

“Basic little boy pretentious !” grumbled Arjuna while glaring at Amanda.

“Why not come down and have lunch, Jun ?” mama Diva asked back with her maternal smile.

“Not Arjuna's girlfriend, Ma,” says Arjuna fast. “That's all Amanda could do. He's just one of Arjuna's students.”

Amanda immediately laughed at Arjuna's answer and made Mama Diva smile to hear it.

“That's really what brought Cilla, use evasive again,” Amanda stuck out her tongue.

Arjuna immediately rubbed his nape and smiled awkwardly.

“Such pity for the children of people you did not invite in, just send anterin you doang here, Jun,” said mama Diva.

“That child who did not want to be invited in, Ma,” said Arjuna.

“Yes not offered,” Lady Amanda.

“Kepo ! Toggle out !” sahut Arjuna while sneering at his sister. “Already Brother Juna bargained, but he refused.”

“Soalnya sister's offer is just a stale, not sincere invite Cilla come in and meet papa's mom,” Amanda quipped with a mocking smile.

“Later that Cilla will also pick you up, Jun ?” ask mama Diva.

Papa Arman who sat next to him just fell silent and became a good listener while enjoying the pieces of fruit that had been taken by mama Diva.

“Ngak, Mom. Later Juna ride public transportation only,” said Arjuna with a smile.

“Mau Manda contact Cilla, Ma and ask him to come here ?” bargain Amanda.

“Nevent gone !” sahut Arjuna was quick before Mama Diva answered him.

“Haisss.. whose birthday is today is Mama, not Sister. So it doesn't matter if Mama wants to invite Cilla to come here?”

Arjuna sighed and sipped his drink for a moment, then looked at Papa Arman who was enjoying the fruit.

“Cilla will not want, because in addition to because of Mama's birthday, Cilla asked Kak Juna to fix the matchmaking problems that Papa had prepared for Arjuna.”

Papa Arman put down the fork in his hand and looked at Arjuna with a frown.

“So you go home because you can't stand living outside without the facilities you received so far ?” ask Papa Arman with a cynical smile.

“Not, Pa,” Arjuna shook his head. “Arjuna is fine with working as a teacher and is not lacking in material matters. But Arjuna came because he realized that papa and mama were too valuable for Arjuna to ignore.”

Arjuna's words made mama Diva and papa Arman stunned and had exchanged views.

“Someone has taught Arjuna how valuable the value of parents is in the life of a child, until he hopes to exchange places with Arjuna. But sorry, Pa, Arjuna could not promise to accept the arranged marriage that papa had prepared, but Arjuna was ready to be reunited with the daughter of Papa's friend. Arjuna will not run away again. It was not because Arjuna wanted to get the CEO position that Papa would give, but because Arjuna wanted to make Papa and Mama happy.”

Mama Diva was moved to hear the words of her son who looked more mature, while papa Arman just fell silent while looking at Arjuna, as if looking for seriousness in the words of his son.

“How about until Papa still forces you to marry papa's friend's daughter ?” ask Papa Arman with squeaking eyes.

“Arjuna has broken up with Luna, Pa. Arjuna apologizes for not listening to papa about Luna. But for the matter of matchmaking, please give confidence to Juna to choose his own life partner,” said Arjuna with a serious face.

“For that one problem, Papa could not give permission,” papa Arman moved out of his chair with an angry face, then left the dining room.

The atmosphere turns into silence with Arjuna, Amanda and Mama Diva busy with their respective thoughts.
