Hay Pak Teacher
The Part 149
Just about to close her eyes, Alvi's phone rings, making the girl kepo, she takes her husband's phone on the nightstand and hands it to Alvi who has closed her eyes.
"Aa, Ms. Rita called" said Alana.
"Remember, but at the loudspeaker," Alvi's orders open her eyes.
Alana nodded, swiping the green icon to receive a call from her teacher.
"Night Mr. Alvi," said Rita's mother across the phone.
"Hm."
"Why Mr. Alvi canceled the project in the bandung, what because..."
Rita had not had time to finish her sentence, Alvi quickly took over the phone in Alana's hands, then shrank the volume of her voice. The man did not want Alana to hear his talk. Alvi got up and sat down on the bedside.
After talking to Rita's mother, Alvi went back to sleep hugging the wife who was still confused by her attitude.
"Why A?" kepo Alana looked at both of Alvi's eyes. Instead of answering the man hid his face in the recess of the girl's neck.
Alvi does not want Alana to know that she canceled the project in bandung, for her sake. Alvi does not want Alana to misunderstand him and Tania. In order to avoid problems, Alvi better resign, what else is his partner Tania, not just one day, but they will be together for three days if so take the project in bandung.
"Am I again, why not answer?"
"The product that was on the badung failed because of something, so Aa couldn't leave," Alvi replied a little lying, and Alana easily believed it just like that.
"Well that was Aa's dream long ago," sadly Alana stroked Alvi's back. "It should be tomorrow if so?"
"Hm."

"Where are you, baby?" ask Alvi.
"Aa will go to bandung, time forgot anyway," answered Alana still focus on arranging the needs of Alvi on the bed, composing it as neat as possible, he said, remembering what the man needed for three days.
"Aa said last night, the project is off dear, so there's no such thing as bandung."
Alana let out a long sigh, stopped her activities then looked at the man who had just lied to her. Alana knows everything, she just called Rita's mother and asked her the truth.
The girl took over the small towel on Alvi's shoulder, telling the man to sit on the edge of the bed. Alana dries Alvi's hair while talking.
"No need to lie, I know everything. It wasn't her project that was canceled, but Aa that was canceled. Wh why? because I don't want to misunderstand, do I?"
"Aa does not want to go, anyway" replied Alvi still with his decision.
"Aaah, terrorize me," Alana's pinta stroked Alvi's jaw, which was covered with tiny hairs. "I believe in Aa, and I'm not going to think anything, so don't worry okay? this project is Aa's dream from long ago, isn't this also Aa's ladder to the Master's degree? don't waste this opportunity just because I'm A."
Alvi touched and clasped Alana's hand which was still faithfully stroking her jaw. "Aa cancel because a lot of work dear, that's all," said Alvi.
"Don't make me the reason for Aa's dream inhibition. I should have been the wife who pushed Aa. We're both chasing dreams, supporting each other. Now get ready and go" Alana persuaded.
Finally Alvi relented, and decided to continue the project in bandung, the man was getting ready, although there was a sense of unwillingness to part with his wife for 3 days.
