Hendra was crying


Alex walked back and searched where he could buy a bottle of water. “Excuse me Deck, do you know where the cafeteria at this faculty is?” Alex asked a young student who looked young.


“There Bang.” The young man replied briefly. “Thank you Dek.” Alex Sahut. Before leaving Alex the young man had seen Hendra and smiled and left.


Soon Alex arrived at the FHUI cafeteria and immediately bought a bottle of mineral water. Then Alex made Hendra milk again. Hendra suckles while sitting in Alex's front sling. This one widower plans to return to class because there are still courses that He must attend.


Hendra suckles, Alex walks back into the classroom. Arriving in front of the classroom door it turns out the lecturer has entered first.


Tok..tok..tok... “Excuse bu.” Alex was waiting at the door to be invited in. “Yes? You who?” Ask the Lecturer who is standing in front of the blackboard.


The lecturer was wearing a black headscarf, a white shirt, black pants and a black blazer as well.


“I am a student here Mom, want to enter the lesson hours.” Said Alex. Hendra who is in a sling, sitting while breastfeeding. The milk is half a bottle.


“Ha... is it true He's a student here?” The lecturer was dumbfounded. The lecturer asked as he looked towards the students sitting on their respective benches.


“Iya is right Bu.” Answer Najwa. After hearing the acknowledgement from the Classmaster, the Lecturer looked back at Alex. For some time the lecturer was silent while looking at Alex and Hendra.


“Alright, please come in.” The Lecturer's Order. “Good, thank you Bu.” Alex and immediately entered sat on an empty bench beside Najwa. “The seat is intentionally I save for you.” Najwa said half in a whisper.


“Thanks Najwa.” Alex's voice is short. Alex took off his backpack. The bag was placed on the floor next to the chair where he was sitting. Then he picked up a binder book and a pen.


“Najwa, what are the college eyes?” Alex asked half a whisper. “Indonesian Law Entrant Lex.” Answer Najwa. “Ohhh.. OK.” Alex Sahut.


Alex again unzipped the black backpack and took a course book Introduction to Indonesian Law. “The book is really that, buy where?” Najwa asked half a whisper.


“Buy in store Online hehe.” Answer Alex. “Najwa, do not chat pay attention if the Lecturer is explaining.” Tell the Lecturer to Najwa.


“Hehehe... Good Bu.” Sahut Najwa then returned to pay attention to the Lecturer and ignored Alex.


“Daddyhh.” Call Hendra. “Sstt.. if you say big-gede yes dear.” Alex said as he put his index finger on his lips. “This Father.” Hendra said while giving an empty milk bottle to Alex.


“OK. Pinter son Father.” Said Alex while taking a bottle of milk given to him and gently stroked Hendra's hair. Then the empty bottle was put into Alex's bag.


Siska who was behind Najwa did not pay attention to the lecturer who explained. He was busy with seeing Hendra and Alex's wide back from behind. Siska was propping up her chin with her left hand, twirling the pen on her right hand on the table.


“Husss...” Sapa Siska to Hendra. “Cilukba!” Siska opens her arms and shows Hendra the pilukba. “Hahaha.” Hendra laughs. His laughter was so good that he was heard by a class.


Because of Hendra's laughter, the rest of the class is now looking at Alex. “You just entered your name Who?” Ask the Lecturer. “Alex Cornelius Bu.” Answer Alex. Alex looked down and felt guilty.


“Alex, please condition the Child you hold to be silent. And others continue to record what is written on this whiteboard.” Lecturer then returned to writing on the board. Sometimes He turns his body toward all the students when He wants to explain.


“Kakak..” Hendra calls Siska hoping to be invited to play again. “Hendra darling, don't fuss ya.” Pinta Alex to Hendra. Alex said while whispering in Hendra's ear. Hendra's face turned sad.


“Huaaa...” Hendra was crying, he couldn't stand it anymore. Since then being in the sling made him stifled. “Huaaa..” Hendra cried and tugged one of the sling strings hoping to get off and down to play.


“Sshhutttt..” Alex stroked Hendra's hair and patted his son slowly. But Hendra was not silent.


The concentration of learning was dissolved, immediately the class boisterous. Lecturers were not willing to teach anymore, some of the students also felt annoyed and disturbed to hear the cries of the toddler.


“Brother Alex, can you just go out and win the Boy. Because of teaching and learning activities We are very disturbed by the sound of that cry.” Obviously the Lecturer was in a gentle tone.


“Iya is right Bu.” Sahut Reza's. “Iya Bu is absolutely right, very disturbing ears.” Added Antonius. “Nghusss...” Alex sighed and went back to picking up his backpack.


“Huaaa..” Hendra is still crying. With a heavy heart Alex immediately left the classroom. Alex came out washing his left cheek, a single tear he could no longer bear. Then Alex disappeared behind the door.


“Yes Allah.. What a hard test You, may I get through all this.” Alex prayed in his heart. Alex kept walking without knowing the direction, then Alex arrived at a small park and saw a seat made of iron. The chair is empty.


Alex sat down on the park chair, removed Hendra from the sling and sat him right next to him. Hendra was still crying tears but not as hysterical as in the classroom.


“This is a darling.” Alex smiled and greeted his son and gave him a packet of chocolate. Hendra who received the chocolate immediately stopped crying and returned laughing cheerfully. The chocolate was opened first until when Hendra received it he could eat it right away.


“Nyam..nyam..nyam..” “Enak” Said Hendra whose lips were filled with chocolate. Alex didn't tell Hendra, he just smiled and rubbed his youngest son's hair.


Gerrkkk. Alex's phone is vibrating. A message came in on his phone. Alex checked and read the message. “Alex Where are you?” the content of the message that the sender is none other than Najwa.


“I'm in the park, I can't get in, definitely get kicked out again later.” Reply Alex to the message. “That's okay, the Lecturer gave the assignment could you send your email address?” Najwa replies to the message.


Alex gave me his email and put his cell phone back in his pants pocket. Alex's phone vibrated again, there was another incoming message. “How about Mr Alex, is the lecture smooth today? If there is anything I am still waiting in the parking lot Pak.” Fill in a message from Mr. Didit who is Mr. RT and his personal driver.


Alex ignored the last message that went into his phone. Alex opens the names of his cell phone contacts and tries to contact Eliana. Unfortunately, the voice call was missed.
