Childhood Match
I'll Remove Your Eyes Water

"Gendhis...???" call Gala, the handsome lecturer who is very idolized by his friends.

Not a word came out of Gendhis lips

Initially Gala had panicked to find her students sitting down in front of her toyota camry car. But after seeing Gendhis without the slightest injury, he felt relieved.

"Thank God... Alhamdulillah.

Though unharmed, Gendhis had not yet risen from the ground where he had fallen. Indeed indeed... Gendhis body was indeed without wounds. But the wounds that were in his heart, somewhere he would find the antidote.

"Gendhis... Are you all right?" ask Gala again make sure.

He stretched out his hand to help Gendhis to wake up from where he had fallen. Gendo refused it. Despite various efforts, Gendhis tried to rise up on his own without expecting help from Gala. With great difficulty, Gendhis could finally stand up straight, staring at the figure of the man standing before him.

"I'm sorry... Mas..I mean, sorry Mr. Gala. I did not look around. I also did not know that the father's car was already behind me." said Gendhis Lirih.

For Gendhis, calling Gala "Pak" was strange. Even Gala is too old for that designation. But inevitably, he had to respect him because Gala was his lecturer.

"Yes.no papa, next time you walk carefully." Gala's message with questions, what is this girl doing these nights walking alone on the side of the road. Something must be wrong, he thought.

"Good, Sir... Sorry.. I'm sorry..." Gendhis turned his back to leave Gala.

With a sudden sense of worry, Gala called out to him as Gendhis walked three steps away from him.

"Dis..wait." prevent Gala.

Gendhis.

"Where are you going these nights?" Gala began to interrogate.

"I don't know, sir, where to go." replied Genthis.

Really weird! Although not long ago Gendhis became a student but Gala quite memorized with the behavior of Gendhis. What else since the beginning of meeting Gala had suspected that Gendhis was a special girl. There's no way that without reason, he's alone at night on the side of the road like he is today.

"Why can't you know? Who are you the same?" ask Gala.

Genphis was silent. Seeing the look in his eyes, Gala felt that there was something very heavy for Gendhis to reveal.

"Okeyy.. papa if you don't want to talk, at least sit down for a while so you don't panic because you just fell down." Gala suggested.

"Thank you, sir, but I have to go. My mother's father was waiting at home." said Gendhis to continue his steps, but once again Gala prevented him.

And this time, Gala walked up to Gendhis and stood before him. As usual, Gendhis just bowed down not daring to look at Gala's face. He is afraid that Gala's charm will make him a victim of charm like his friends.

"Gendhis.well if you don't want to rest. Well then, now I'm taking you home" Gala said.

Gendhis was surprised and said, "No. Thanks very much. I can go home by myself."

"Go home by yourself, you say? You said you didn't know where you were going, now you say you want to go home by yourself. This is a city. Girls your age are not good at walking alone by the side of the road. That's called endangering yourself. What if something happens to you?" gala.

Gendhis still seemed to think even with a blank look.

"Gendhis. I have no evil intent. Just want to let you know." continued Gala.

"But, Sir..." Genphis did not continue with his words.

Gala walks to her car, opens the front door of the car to let Genthis go with her.

"Gendhis.I know you wouldn't like it if I forced you and pulled your hand to get in the car. So now you go up and I drive you home." Gala was a little pushy for fear of seeing the condition of Gendhis.

"Gendhis. Now hurry in! This is an order from your lecturer.. will you also reject it?" it seemed that for the sake of making sure Gendhis was safe, he had to threaten him a little.

"Well, sir.." Gendhis finally agreed to Gala's request to drive her home.

"Alhamdulillah..." Gala was very relieved to see that Gendhis was willing to get into his car.

Gala's car drove very carefully. While driving his car, Gala quietly observed Gendhis who had just fallen silent tended to daydream. I don't know what was going on in his mind, but Gala is convinced that Gendhis is not doing well. Initially, Gala hesitated to ask, as she was worried that Gendhis would think Gala was meddling in the forbidden realm hidden in Gendhis heart.

However, for some reason, Gala's curiosity was so great for the girl who was now sitting in the front seat of her car. He encouraged himself to ask,

"Gendhis... Are you okay?" tanya Gala hesitated.

"Yes, sir. I'm fine." Gendhis replied while holding back the tear dam that seemed to have almost collapsed due to too long he was holding.

The image of Lintang's face as well as the betrayal of Lintang last night was still dancing in his memory. He did not know who he had to complain to, it felt very heavy and his chest was very tight, even breathing was painful.

"Okeyy, no papa if you don't want a story. I just want you to be okay. But... If you believe I can reduce a little bit.just the burden in your mind, just say.... as your lecturer, I am ready to hear the grievances of my students." gala said with great authority.

Hearing Gala's words, immediately made Gala surprised...

"Huaaaa.. huaaa..." Gendhis wept in front of Gala, leaving Gala confused as to what to do to calm her down.

Tears that he had endured since he was in Caffe were finally spilled just like that in front of Gala. He was not ashamed anymore, no doubt crying in front of Gala.

Gala pulled her car over for fear of driving her concentration and was disturbed by the cries of Gendhis.

"Huuaaa.. huaaa..." Genphis was still crying.

It felt like Gala wiped away the tears flowing down Gendhis beautiful face so that he could calm down. Giving his shoulder to lean on so that Gendhis would feel better. But it only exists in his mind.

Gala purposely did not hold back Gendhis from shedding his tears. He thought, after spilling sadness through his tears, the burden in his heart will be slightly reduced.

Turns right. After a while Gendhis breathed out his anger and willingness, slowly his tears began to dry up.

Gela took some of the tisue strands that were on the dashboard of her car, then gave it to Gendhis. Gendhis received the tisue with his right hand, simultaneously making Gala shocked. Honestly, there was a hint of disappointment sneaking into his heart. Somehow Gala felt something strange in her heart when she saw on Gendhis ring finger a ring of fiancee.

"O Allah..What is this feeling? Why am I such a heartbroken person seeing that Gendhis is already wearing an engagement ring? After all, who is Gendhis? She's just one of hundreds of students at my college. This cannot be allowed." Gala said in her heart.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Gala." said Gendhis breaking his daydream.

"Yes.. sure! Are you feeling better now?" gala asked after Gendhis had drained all his tears.

"Yes, sir." replied Gendhis briefly.

"Then we continue the journey" Gala said as she restarted her car engine.

Now Gala began to understand the cause of Gendhis crying and being in the middle of the road these nights. She must be having trouble with her fiance, she thought to herself.

Gala's car drove back to take Genphis to meet her father who had already picked her up.
