Friday afternoon, Cilla skipped Arjuna's lesson. Lili and Febi have been looking for it in the UKS, libraries, canteens and even backyards. All of this was on the orders of Arjuna. Although his face was jutek and his mouth said spicy, but his heart was full of longing and worry for his ducklings.
Jovan, who sees Cilla's two best friends outside the classroom when the lesson returns, is moved to find out. He believes that the existence of Febi and Lili must have something to do with Cilla.
This time Jovan asked permission during the lesson Mr. Firman, biology teacher.
“Feb,” call Jovan over to Febi and Lili who just got down to the 2nd floor. “What other problems are there with Cilla ?”
“Tuh son disappeared, Van,” Lili who disowned. “No trace of him everywhere.”
“Whose lesson time is ?” Jovan knitted his eyebrows together.
“Pak Arjuna,” this time it was Febi who replied.
“Pantes,” grumbled Jovan while rubbing his nape.
“Indeed the two of them again have a problem what the hell, Van ?” asked Lili with a sharp eyebrow.
“No idea I,” Jovan shrugged both of his shoulders. “Cilla doesn't tell me anything.”
While the three were still talking, Dono was seen riding stabbing towards them.
“What are you doing outside again?” lesson time Dono looked at the three in turn.
“Asks Mr. Arjuna to find Cilla, Sir,” says Febi.
Dono nodded with a smile.
“That you guys are in class now. Cilla's permission to go home just now,” said Dono while gesturing for the three to return to class.
“Yeah, son, don't say anything anyway. But the bag was left, sir ?” Lili who walked in front of Dono with Febi, stopped her steps and looked at Dono.
“Don't relapse on your head,” Dono said while raising both eyebrows. “Cilla no sudden family affair.”
Jovan nodded in salute to Dono before returning to his class. Dono himself turned out to follow the two up to class XII IPS-1. Until there he called Arjuna who was helping explain the practice questions asked by some students.
“Sorry to disturb Mr. Ajuna,” Dono said in front of the classroom door. “Can I ask for a minute ?”
Arjuna nodded and asked the students of class XII IPS-1 to continue the practice of the matter shared by Arjuna.
“Elo is still not better with Cilla?” dono asked as the two stood on the 3rd floor barrier facing towards the field.
“Why ? He confided what's the same elo ?” asked Arjuna while smiling cynically.
“Not at all. But who can't see if something happens between you. Even Febi, Lili and Jovan could see it too, ” Dono said with a faint smile and shook his head.
“The story is long,” said Arjuna lazily.
His eyes narrowed trying to recognize the two figures walking towards the school gate. It was seen that Cilla was being embraced by a man, and from behind Arjuna was able to recognize the figure.
“Theo came and asked permission directly to Mr. Slamet to pick up Cilla. I was asked to meet as a walikelas. Theo says there's an urgent family need.”
“The most he knows the problem is the same Theo,” said Arjuna with a cynical smile.
Arjuna looked at Theo, as he turned around, removed his sunglasses and waved at Arjuna and Dono.
“Basic show-off,” grunts Arjuna with annoyed face.
Dono laughed and patted his best friend on the shoulder.
“Gue does not know exactly about the problems you are facing. As a more mature man you should be able to be more patient and guide Cilla, not just want to be understood. As Luna fooled elo many times, she could be so patient with him and try to understand Luna. Is it because Cilla is still a high school boy so you tend to think that talking to her would be useless ?”
“Means elo ?” Arjuna asked back while furrowing his brows.
“If you really think that the thoughts of High School children only prioritize emotions and are too idealistic, stop liking High School children. Find a girlfriend who is the same age as you. Don't let Cilla further add to his love for the same elo, while in the end elo just give him false hope.”
“Gue never messes around about feelings, and you all know that. But the elo say it's true, I see Cilla's mind is too idealistic tends to be naive.”
“Then it's better elo break him now, mumpung his heart has not been too loving elo more deeply,” Dono laughs softly while patting Arjuna shoulder.
“Ide crazy !” namel Arjuna. “It's not that easy to throw away the feeling of liking someone. I'm sure you understand the most because you already have a wife.”
“If you are sure of your feelings, throw away your mind that Cilla is just a spoiled, childish, emotionally inclined and incomprehensible high schooler. Even if it's all in Cilla, you have to accept what it is. It's just called love, Bro,” Dono said with a slow laugh.
“That's also what Wiwik and I did until we could get into the wedding. If it really is love, accept whatever is in our partner. Complete the shortcomings and appreciate the advantages. That way the new Elo can survive, Jun. Don't usually run away.”
Arjuna took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. His eyes catch Theo's car slowly moving away from the school until it disappears from his sight.
“Do not until you regret because Cilla chose to release elo and accept another offer of love,” Dono said with a faint smile before leaving Arjuna.
Arjuna was still standing staring at the school gate. The last sentence Dono spoke was similar to what Jovan said two days ago.
Arjuna breathed. He admitted that Cilla is special not because of her physique, but because of her inner beauty. And usually men who fall in love with women because of their personality, tend to last a long time.
“Which is the last hour of lesson ? How can you not really accept having to leave class ?” teased Theo with a smile.
“Not a matter of whose lesson hours, but why suddenly even Cilla did not have time to take the bag as well,” grumbled Cilla while pouting.
“Tas you will be brought with Arjuna. Last sister had sent a message to him,” said Theo while with a face teasing Cilla.
“Eh why should Mr Arjuna ? No need,” said Cilla quickly with a panic face. He immediately took the cellphone he had brought from his skirt pocket.
“What's the reason?” asked Theo with frowning eyes. “Kan y'all dating.”
“Not again,” says Cilla fast. His eyes focused on the phone sending a message to Febi and Lili to bring his bag to their home. Cilla's gonna take it tonight or tomorrow.
“Kok can be ?” Theo pretended not to understand.
Theo already knew the problems that befell Cilla and Arjuna, so he deliberately picked up Cilla when Arjuna taught in his class.
About Mr. Slamet who immediately allowed it, it was because Mr. Darmawan had contacted the principal and asked for his help to give Cilla permission to be picked up by Theo.
Of course, Mr. Slamet who already knew the problem of Cilla and Arjuna from the beginning immediately agreed.
Theo glanced at the silent Cilla and turned towards the side window. After a while, it was seen that the girl sighed and finally started telling me everything. Starting from the escape of Arjuna until the plan of papi Rudi who forbids Arjuna from dating Cilla during the affair of the match has not been completed.
“So you are a high school boy who wants to be betrothed to Arjuna ?” Theo's eyes widened as if he could not believe what Cilla said.
“Ralat, Brother. Papi never had any intention to match Cilla with Mr. Arjuna, but Om Arman forced to berbesaran with papi. Even at dinner, papi just wanted to strengthen the relationship with his old friend, not his father Om Arman immediately said that he would match Cilla with his son.”
“So from the beginning you already know that the new teacher candidate is a guy who ran away during your dinner show ?”
Cilla shook her head and went back to telling her how she knew who Arjuna really was. How he also had a relationship with Amanda until finally meeting Luna who is his former stepbrother.
“By the way, actually brother want to take me where ?”
“Meet mami Siska,” says Theo relax.
Cilla just nodded with a happy smile. After that, he just sat quietly while staring to the side.
Theo smiled faintly and let his cousin's sister dissolve into his mind. Seen from the eyes of this young girl, how Cilla loved Arjuna so much. From every story that comes out of his mouth, Theo can catch that his cousin's sister has been trapped with the charm of Arjuna.
As a friend since Junior High, Theo knows enough about Arjuna's personality. Men are kind, supple and loyal but their emotions tend to explode. When it's emotional, Arjuna tends to be careless and talk without thinking.
Before leaving the school, he deliberately waved at Arjuna who had definitely seen him. All plans were the result of the collaboration of Theo and Dono.
Even before driving his car, Theo had sent a message to Arjuna.
I know elo again there's a problem with ducklings.
It is better to be resolved, not carried in the heart finally carried away by dreams, even into nightmares.
As Cilla's cousin and best friend, I support you both. If you're serious about my cousin, take advantage of this opportunity, don't make me change my mind.
Bring a bag of ducklings to his house and meet Cilla as an adult man who dares to face anything to get his love.
“Kak,” call Cilla while looking at Theo who is still focused on driving.
”So I've met papi ? Papi already know that Kak Theo is the son of Aunt Siska ? Kok Pak Slamet said papi has contacted him and immediately give permission Kak Theo take me home ?”
Theo just laughed as he ruffled Cilla's hair with one of his hands.
“Simply Arjuna give you the title of a baby duck. His mouth is indeed a baby duck kayak but makes an anxious.”
Now Theo's hand pinched Cilla's cheek in agitation, making the girl instantly pout with pursed lips. Theo just laughed looking at it.
Back to Guna Bangsa High School on Arjuna who just returned to class and took the phone he left on the table.
His forehead was furrowed reading a message from Theo. He took a long breath. Tonight the priority is to meet Papa Arman. How the result, Arjuna still did not dare to wonder.
When the school bell ended, Arjuna deliberately remained silent in the classroom while his students were already scattering out of the classroom.
“Where to take Cilla bag ?” arjuna asked Febi who was carrying Cilla's bag.
“The plan is to take me to his house, sir. But earlier Cilla has sent a message that tomorrow Cilla will take to my home,” said Febi.
“Let me intersect,” Arjuna reached out asking for a bag belonging to Cilla. “Today she wasn't home until night.”
Febi and Lili stared at each other because in the message Cilla had been warned not to leave it to Arjuna.
“But Sir...” said Lili with a doubtful face.
“Do I need to call Mr Dono to make sure that I am the one who is asked to bring Cilla bag to his house?” Asked Arjuna with a fierce face.
Febi and Lili looked back at each other and finally Lili nodded. Febi handed Cilla's bag to Arjuna.
