Really scared

Billa and Ratna met their Research Methodology Lecturer in accordance with the agreement that had been made.

"Tumben he told us to step, usually by email if giving the task." Billa's great-grandson as the two walked hand in hand toward Mr. Ricky's room.

"It seems that because he cannot enter tomorrow, the task must be explained through us." Ratna said.

"You mean because you're going out of town ?" ask Billa to make sure. Ratna nodded slowly looking at her close friend.

"Hopefully this is the last task before the UAS." Ratna muttered as the two reached the front room of the Student's favorite lecturer. Billa just smiled in response to his friend's plea. Ratna knocked on the door before opening the door of the Lecturer's room.

"It seems lonely, maybe he hasn't returned from the Rat class."

"But he chatted I was waiting in his room." Billa knocked on the door again and said a gentle greeting.

"Assalamualaikum Mr.., sorry we are from class A prodi Paud. Is my dad inside ?" ask Billa carefully. Ratna gave her thumbs up because of Billa's very polite attitude. As the two stared at each other, the door of the room opened from the inside making Ratna and Billa reflexively turn towards the door.

"Waalaikumussalam, come in. Next time when you want to meet other Lecturers, not just knock on the door. But explain it like that." Tell the handsome Lecturer to look at the two students in front of him who were looking down embarrassed.

"I'm sorry sir" Ratna admitted her mistake.

"Come in, I have to leave soon after this." Billa looked at the Lecturer with a difficult gaze to interpret. But when Ricky wanted to look at him, Billa turned her eyes to look at the task sheet in his hand.

"Please photocopy this task and give it to your friends in class. I didn't get to type because of other work. If you object to a copy you can type and send it to your friend in the form of a file." Lightly Ricky looked fixedly at Billa who now looked down in listening to the orders of the Lecturer.

"Good Sir. Sorry sir, this task was collected when sir?" ask Ratna carefully.

"Gather as soon as possible, this is the last assignment of the semester. I hope the value of this task helps your friends who have not met good grades. Collect it in file form and send it to your class secretary. After everything is done, Class Secretary must collect it directly to me in the form of a file inserted on this flash." His words were clear while thrusting a flash in front of Billa. The two girls nodded in understanding at the orders of his Lecturer.

"Okay sir, I'll tell my classmates." Ratna is in charge of kosma class.

"Send my message to your friends, prepare thoroughly for the final semester exam of my course. I may not be able to enter next week. So we'll meet on the exam later. Assignments please collect before the test." Ricky's word is absolute without dispute. Billa just lowered her head listening well to the orders from the Lecturer who kept looking at her fixedly.

"Thank you in advance. You can leave this room. Class secretary please remain in the room. I need to know the rote reports from your classmates to recap the extra grades." Said Ricky flat which immediately made the two students in front of him turn simultaneously towards his Lecturer. Billa's small bite on her lower lip signifies the cute girl is very uncomfortable and it can be felt by her close friend Ratna.

"Sorry sir, I'd better keep Ratna company with me here. It looks like he also wants to add a deposit once again" Billa said without Ratna's aim. Of course, Ratna was very surprised, unexpectedly her close friend was so brave to reveal what was in her heart when clearly her Lecturer gave the order.

"Eh, sorry Bill, I don't think I'm ready to add now. All right sir, I'll be out waiting in front. Excuse um. Assalamualaikum" argued Ratna that clearly made Billa upset because his friend was not willing to help him to just accompany. Ratna was obviously groggy if she had to memorize in front of her Lecturer. Not forgetting to remember again later.It precisely ngeblank completely do not remember the rote. Call it Ratna fled because groggy and not ready.

Billa looked down calmly in front of the Lecturer who had been staring at him. Ever since his friend came out of the room, neither Billa nor the handsome Lecturer had said anything. Billa was obviously very uncomfortable, but because she had to respect the orders of her Lecturer. Billa had to suppress his ego.

"Sorry sir, a recitation of the memorization of my friends will be sent by email. I wrote that tape on the diltop. Forgive me earlier for not bringing a laptop." Billa ventured to start the conversation after a few minutes of silence.

"Alright, I'm waiting for tonight to have to be sent." Ricky replied flatly by continuing to stare at his girl who might not be able to see her cute face for long.

Yes, Ricky held Billa captive just because he wanted to see her long before the grown man had to go out of town on a visit to some other university to accompany his father for college purposes. It is very difficult for the man to approach his girl if not for this reason. Even Ricky had to come up with ideas all night to figure out how to get to Billa before he left. And this was the result, the man actually used the word report to make the girl he liked face him at this moment.

"Then I beg for permission to leave sir. I'll send you via email soon." Said Billa upset because long enough the girl waited for her Lecturer to make a sound. The girl started to move and wanted to get out of her Lecturer's room.

"Wait, just ten minutes. Stay seated in front of me. " Prevent Ricky from restraining Billa's steps by standing in front of her girl. Billa sat down again because she wanted to find out why the annoying Lecturer was holding her back.

"What's the matter sir, shouldn't you go after this ?" billa asked insinuating the adult man who had been silent since then while looking at him closely.

"Hem, that's exactly why I'm keeping you here. Stay here a few minutes before I leave. I am traveling long enough for a visit. Can't you tell me your decision now before I leave ?" Billa exhaled slowly and pulled again to regulate the sudden suffocation of the man in front of her. The girl was obviously upset and wanted to get out of the room immediately which made her this crowded.

"If you finally insist on knowing my answer. Then I'll say it now. It was enough here that I struggled to fight my fears all along. It may also be an answer from Allah after prayer and my Istikharah to Allah regarding the CV that you have submitted to me. I'm sorry Sir-"

"Enough." Ricky cuts off Billa's conversation as soon as he feels a bad sign for her. The man took a breath and exhaled slowly. Try to think clearly before saying something.

"Alright, I won't ask for your answer right now. Come out, don't rush into deciding this. I will be patient with your decision later. Take good care of yourself. I had to get out of town to accompany my Dad on assignment. Learn in peace. You can get out now. Because I will leave soon" said Ricky clearly staring fixed girl who now also look at him with teary eyes.

Ricky is really scared to hear rejection from the girl he loves so much. Hearing an apology from Billa's tiny mouth certainly made Ricky conclude Billa would reject him. Choosing Billa to reconsider her decision was the best option at the moment. Mana knows God turned his girl's heart over to receive her CV.
