CHASING THE LOVE OF THE TEACHER
Because There's You

Already all day Arjuna checked his phone hoping there was a message from Cilla who received his invitation.

But it seems very unlikely, because when meeting at school, Cilla actually avoids it and chooses to turn around when looking at Arjuna from a distance.

His heart was disappointed and sad. Despite the congratulations from fellow teachers spearheaded by Dono and the many sayings through his cellphone message, but nothing makes Arjuna happy without a message from Cilla.

Even in the afternoon, when Theo picked her up at the boarding house, Arjuna's face looked lethargic and uninspired.

“Front of why, Jun ? Not having to bully children or get SP from school right ?” asked Theo with his pretended face.

It seems only Arjuna who does not know that this afternoon event is not just a gathering with his friends, but a special surprise event prepared directly by his parents.

“Have been a week my relationship with Cilla tenggang, Bro,” said Arjuna with sad.

“Ribut why else ?” Theo frowned. “Tuh son no story is the same as me. Just a few times refused fitting told to come to the same house nyokap because it was busy with the same general replay.”

Arjuna took a long breath. He also said that Cilla is the son of a friend of papa Arman who wants to be betrothed to him. Arjuna did not forget to tell Cilla how angry he was when he learned the truth, including his words that hurt Cilla.

“Ah crazy, Bro ! So elo mate really same Cilla ?” theo said while laughing.

“Indeed Cilla never told me that she was the girl I stayed away to elo house that night ?”

“Never, Bro,” says Theo while laughing. “Looks like you got karmic because you've gone against a parent's request. Not to mention that elo is so upset with Cilla because she likes to be done with ducks. Eh even now elo in love and it turns out she's the girl who was betrothed to elo.”

“Gue regrets having been rude to a baby duck.”

Theo glanced for a moment towards Arjuna while smiling knots.

“It looks like elo is not easy to explode on the same road as Luna. Even with elegant elo can still be calm when seeing Luna cheating in plain sight. Why can't you behave the same way with Cilla ? Because elo thinks he's a little boy who should be obedient and obedient elo?”

“Because I love her so much, Theo. I suddenly felt possessive for fear of losing him.”

Theo frowned and laughed at Arjuna's expression. His best friend turned his head immediately and his face turned sour as Theo was still laughing at him.

“Gue just heard Arjuna talk about love until melow like this,”, Theo said on the sidelines of his laughter. “Looks like elo really got karmic from elo's own speech.”

“With pleasure I accept any karma from Cilla can be good again and want to talk like usually the same I.”

Theo stopped his laughter and smiled faintly. Next to her hand patted Arjuna's shoulder from the side.

“Learn be patient, Bro. As long as you keep trying I am sure that Cilla will forgive and receive you. Losing time with Jovan, he was just patiently waiting for nine years.”

“Ah crazy !” arjuna's eyes immediately widened. “I also have to wait so long until Cilla want to talk again with me.”

“Have love,” ledek Theo. “Nine years is nothing. Besides the next nine years the age of the new elo is also 35, not yet four heads.”

“But I want to hurry up with Cilla,” grumbled Arjuna with a sullen face, imagining himself to be like Jovan waiting for Cilla to forgive him for nine years.

Of course nine years for Jovan who is still unyu-unyu does not matter, because now he is only 18 years old.

Theo just laughed and refocused on driving because the road that passed began to solid. Fifteen minutes later, Theo's car entered the parking area of a restaurant.

“Kok we're here ? Looks like my money will not be enough to payin you guys eat here,” asked Arjuna with frown.

“Gue receive debt, Bro. The pay is repaid up to three times can also be,” seloroh Theo. “Don't make the others so bete because everything is set up with our friends.”

Arjuna took a long breath. If his condition is still working in the company of Papa Arman, there is no worry about buying his friends at this kind of restaurant. But with his teacher's salary, Arjuna intends to live frugally and set aside for his financial reserves so as not to experience hard as the first time out of the house of Papa Arman.

Arjuna smiled but with a troubled heart as his companions gave him a happy birthday. Everything is complete, making Arjuna again remember their togetherness during the holidays in Semarang.

 Arjuna squealed when he saw there were still many empty benches provided in the room. It seems like all his companions are complete, but why are there still around six or seven empty benches ?

“That bench for who else, Ki ?” arjuna asked Luki who was nearby.

“Looks like you should ask Theo, he set everything up,” said Luki while pointing at Theo with his chin.

Arjuna had not yet approached Theo, apparently from the entrance of his family's room. Papa Arman, Mama Diva and Amanda.

It is seen that Arjuna was surprised, did not expect that his papa would come also on his special day. His sadness was slightly treated because with the presence of family, Arjuna felt that the hostility with his father had begun to unravel.

“Cilla where ?” ask Amanda after congratulating her only sister.

“He refused to come, even though brother had persuaded him,” said Arjuna with a sad face.

“Indeed brother didn't say that today is sister's birthday?” Arjuna shook his head to answer Amanda's question.

Before long the waiters started serving food and beverage orders and all began to enjoy the dishes provided.

“So mama who deliberately invited friends Juna to eat here ?” tanya Arjuna approached Mama Diva and whispered in her mother's ear.

He had guessed that this was all the Diva mama who prepared it. Not the model Theo also chose a semi-formal place like this.

“Yes, you are now 26 years old, must grow up,” said mama Diva while patting her eldest son's hand on her shoulder.

“Thank you for the surprise, ma,” said Arjuna while kissing the cheek of mama Diva.

Papa Arman and Amanda are smiling, because Arjuna does not know that this is not the peak of his surprise.

His eyes widened as he managed to open the door because not only the light came in, but in front of him stood Cilla who appeared different tonight. Not to mention the birthday cake complete with a lit candle is in Cilla's hands.

“Happy birthday Mr. Arjuna,” welcome Cilla with a smile.

Arjuna was still silent with one hand holding the door handle. His eyes were still in disbelief staring at Cilla standing in front of him and behind the girl were seen papi Rudi, aunt Siska and om Rio.

“The candle is blown first, sir. Dear cake if hit by a drop of wax,” said Cilla reminded Arjuna who was still dumbfounded.

“Eh... yes...” Arjuna smiled clumsyly and blew out the candles attached on top of the birthday cake that Cilla brought.

Finish the candle blown, the room lights back on and the birthday song is instantly heard from the speakers in the room. Arjuna's friends and family sang along and clapped.

Amanda was already standing near them, immediately picked up the cake that Cilla was still holding.

“Happy birthday Mr. Arjuna,” Cilla reached out her hand to congratulate.

Arjuna widened his smile. Not only received Cilla's helping hand, but pulled the girl into his arms.

“Thank you for the surprise,” whispered Arjuna in Cilla's ear. “Thank you for forgiving me.”

Cilla was a little awkwardly hugged like this by Arjuna, especially behind him were Papi Rudi, aunt Siska and om Rio. While behind Arjuna, not only his family, but also the friends of Arjuna were there. Cilla's hand remained beside her body, ashamed to hug Arjuna back.

“Wooii Jun, remember there are parents here. Don't carelessly hug people's children, long ago,” chirped Erwin, the friend who likes to make Spanish.

“No more escape plans, Jun ?” timpal Theo's.

Spontane who was there immediately laughed at the words of two friends Arjuna who knew how the man fled when he wanted to be introduced to Cilla.

“Gue can not help find work again if you run away again, Jun,” Dono does not want to lose join in chiming jokes Erwin and Theo.

Cilla's face immediately blushed because Arjuna did not also release his embrace even though it had been mocked by his friends. He tried to escape from Arjuna's embrace, but the man tightened his embrace.

“Pak Arjuna, “ said Cilla while trying to escape.

“As long as you call me father, I will never let go of this hug,” said Arjuna in a whisper.

“Mas Juna,” said Cilla slowly and with a blushed face.

“It looks like this time Arjuna will not run away alone,” said papa Arman made all turn to the middle-aged man.

“This time Cilla will definitely be taken away the same Arjuna, directly brought to the office of civil records,” ledek papa Arman.

“Definitely rejected, Om,” said Boni, “Soalya Cilla does not have KTP.”

Papa Arman and Boni again invite laughter and comments of friends Arjuna. Not long papi Rudi who was still standing outside the room, spoke up.

“Juna, if you hug Cilla continue, om can not enter into nih,” papi goda Rudi behind Cilla.

“If you are not given to enter and eat, you can get the blessing of om dipending again because it needs to be studied ulan,” timpal aunt Siska.

Arjuna looked embarrassed when he heard the words of Papi Rudi because he still did not want to let go to hug Cilla. Finally he broke his embrace and shifted his position but his hand still held Cilla.

“Sorry Om, I'm too happy to see Cilla here. Moreover, there is om and aunt come too.”

Papi Rudi laughed while patting his shoulder and said happy birthday to his son-in-law, followed by Aunt Siska and Om Rio.

“Thank you for the surprise,” whispered Arjuna back after everything came in.

Cilla just smiled with a blushing face and blushed in embarrassment. Moreover, Arjuna's hand like sticking in his fingers.

Just now the door of the room will be closed, a roar sounded that made Arjuna stop closing it.

“Pak Arjuna, wait dong first!”

Arjuna and Cilla turned towards the sound. It turned out that there was already Jovan, Lili, Febi walking towards them, and that made both of them stunned when they saw Pak Wahyu and Pak Slamet walking behind the three Cilla friends.

“You invited them all ?” arjuna asked in a whispering voice.

Cilla with a confused face looked up at Arjuna and shook her head.

“Cilla do not know why they are here,” said Cilla also in a whispering tone.

Arjuna smiled when he heard that Cilla no longer called herself me you when talking to Arjuna.

“It's okay, the more crowded, the more exciting. And it will be the most special birthday celebration because there are you who accompany me,” whispered Arjuna while stealing a kiss on Cilla's cheek.

Cilla could only blush with her face increasingly blushing. Hopefully no one will see that Arjuna gives the first kiss on Cilla's cheek.
