He's my Lecturer
10. confessions of Romi

"Annaa..."

someone called me, I turned around and it was Romi.

"do you want to go home?"

"yes Rom,"

"just take me, I'll take ya"

"don't Rom, next time"

"have you ordered a gojek? if I haven't delivered yet," again Romi offers a ride.

"no Rom, I can go back by myself"

"elena ... Come home." Suddenly Arkana sir came from behind.

"you're going home with the lecturer?" romi said while frowning his forehead.

"yes Rom, I go home first yah. byee"

Romi must be confused, he must be a lot of questions, ah that's it.

I walked tail behind Pak Arkana to the parking lot of his car. Then I took a car pack Arkana, I felt awkward. in the car there was no talk only silence.

arkana opened his voice.

"he who?"

"who sir?" just a lot of confusion

"the man at the front of the gate, was he ready for you?"

"oh that's Romi sir, that's my friend from nursing"

"not your girlfriend?"

"mom's not sir, I'm not dating"

there was no other comment, Arkana was focused on driving her car and I chose to look out of the car. before long we arrived in front of my papa shop.

"thank you so much sir, I'm going down first"

there was no comment from Arkana sir, I got out of the car and Arkana sir immediately drove his car.

"That's Arkana sir?"

"yes ma.."

"he's taking you again?"

"yes ma, and the problem of study tour I was told to pay tomorrow ma, 1 million. the rest will be in installments every month 1 million"

"really, Alhamdulillah, come in and get dressed and eat"

"what father ma,"

"go between the fruits to the mother's shop, the avocado stock is thinning"

"mommy talked about my study tour to papa?"

"already, your papa must be seneng the cost can be in installments"

I went into my papa's shop . continued eating and resting. At night I went home to study for a while and fell asleep.

"Annaa. wake up..

"yes ma... mmmmmmmhhhh it's morning again??"

"it's a million, you pay your study tour money"

"thank you very much maa"

"well, get up there shower"

I take a shower, have breakfast and go to college. Once on campus I go straight to Arkana's room, to give my payment money .

once at the office, a lot of friends of students who informed his payment. because today is the last day of depositing payments. I immediately knocked on the door of the room Pak Arkana.

"assalamualaikum sir ."

"greetings waalaikum, come in" Arkana sir opened the door and told me to come in.

"sit"

"yes sir, this is my payment of a million sir," I said as I offered my money"

"you hold your money. Let's go together to the bank"

"now sir?"

"today's the last day to pay,"

"ah yes sir"

we went to the bank once there Arkana took the payment slip and wrote in front of the teller's desk.

"you sit, wait here" Arkana told me to sit in the waiting chair while he walked into a room. After a few minutes he was out.

"let's go home"

"haaah? why sir, I haven't paid"

"the system is error" while walking I also follow from behind.

"please, you will have me" he replied with a sly smile

"uhuh??" he call me baby? I didn't hear wrong, did I? no, my heart.wait. My cheeks are hot?? aaakkhh a flabby heart ngapain blushing just because of the call of love.maybe he too keceplosan

"you why? your cheeks are red??"

"uhuh??" aaakkkk shy..

"you don't have to worry, you're going to leave, I paid for it"

"huh?? father pay?? so I'll take it to that guy ?"

"no, I don't want to be in the installments, pay cash straight away after you have money"

"but sir. I . "

"i really want you to call me besides you"

"but what is my tour study business??" wait for me I call him kaka?? aakkhh my mouth

"i said you could go.."

"but brother ... "

"that dong, it's good to hear, you'll go. oh well tomorrow try to come quickly. because we will be absent. remember do not bring a lot of items. clothes you can buy there"

"yes sir" where I might buy clothes there, a waste of money.

"oh yeah come home later I anter well.there's something I want to give you"

"what sir??"

"father again?"

"sorry sir, I'm not used to it, uh I mean brother" I was so clumsy.

"anyways I'll take you back and meet your mother."

"yes sir, uh brother" she wants to see you?? wh why? what was? the cake is not right.

after arriving at the campus I hurried in so as not to be seen by people. suddenly Romi came to me..

"Anna, where are you from"

"from the bank Rom, pay for the study tour, tomorrow we leave for Bali"

"you owe me the same explanation Na," looked at me seriously

"about mr Arkana?"

"let's sit down first" Romi pulled my hand towards a park bench.

"so he's Arkana Rom sir, in charge of my class. you know that tomorrow we go to Bali while I can't afford the study tour money.so I'm consul to him if I can't pay."

"but you came home with her??"

"he anter me home Rom"

"you know I'm jealous Na?"

"Rom, I'm the same he's nothing, he's my lecturer, our lecturer"

"i love you Anna"

"Rom, I'm I ..."

"i'm always waiting for you Na, take care of yourself"

"Rom I..."

"congratulations to the destination well, be careful you are on the way, sorry can not accompany you on the road"

Romi passed away leaving me with all my confusion.difficult to digest everything Romi said.

Romi likes me? love me? how is it possible. all this time I only consider himself a friend even I consider as my brother.

I walked to my class and found my two best friends.

"Anna, how is your business doing, right? tomorrow, are you coming??"

"yes Kay, I'll come along"

I don't say much anymore.how many secrets I now hide from my friend.I followed the rough lesson without focusing a bit.

after going home from college, Arkana was waiting for me in her car park when Arkana opened the car door and I got in the car.

the car drove off the university complex.

there was no talk, there was only silence that made the atmosphere awkward, until I finally opened my voice.

"sorry sir I stopped in front, I want to buy some supplies for tomorrow"

mr. Arkana stopped the car without a word.

what is it. How come out cold aura. am I wrong? or is something wrong?

"sorry sir, I'm down now, I can go home. Be careful on the way sir"

mr. Arkana was still silent, he just nodded without looking at me. Then I got out of his car.

"what's the matter." I'm confused..
