the night had passed and the morning greeted me. I woke up my mother.
"Anna.. Are you better, son? yesterday kayla called mama, said you fainted, and you've returned home.mama hurried home and found you sleeping, and mama didn't disturb your sleep" mama rubbed my head
"i'm getting better, I didn't know yesterday suddenly my head was spinning"
"you don't have to go to college first,"
"it's okay, really, it's better"
"oh yeah, said kayla you're going to study tour?"
"yes ma, mama don't have to worry, I'll go to the lecturer if I don't have to come along for something"
"don't kid, you ask your lecturer, can be in installments, you have to come, this is your chance to see people's villages, just a walk to eliminate your fatigue"
"iya ma thank you very much ma" I hugged my mama. getting warmth and strength from her. I really understand that my parents did not have that much money. but if for nyicil can certainly set aside a little profit.
I rushed to take a shower and prepared to go to campus. I ordered an online motorcycle taxi and left. Once on campus I walked into the campus yard. suddenly I passed the Arkana sir.
but Mr. Arkana didn't say hello to me at all. Let alone say hello, see me not.
is Arkana angry? or not seeing me? ah no way. Obviously I saw his face up close. was I wrong well.
I looked back at the back of Arkana sir until it disappeared. There is a sense of sadness and emptiness when Pak Arkana did not greet me. but ah.
I turned back and stepped into my class.
I sat down, and I looked around and there was no Rania or Kayla..
"Ren, Rania and Kayla haven't come yet?"
"it's like going to the cafeteria, how are you, why don't you just miss it first"
"i'm fine with Ren, thank you for understanding"
"Annaaa.. are you Dateng??" peekkik Rania's
"iya Ran, I'm better"
"when you can be absent first Na" Kayla held my hand tightly
"i'm feeling better really"...
the lesson time goes on. my best friend is unceasingly worried about my situation. Maybe they are afraid I fainted again. 1 hour of lessons passed. I rushed to face my lecturer about the payment for my study tour later.
"Anna, you're fine."
"i'm really okay kayyy"
"that's how we eat yuk," take kayla.
"you guys first, I'm gonna take care of something in the office"
"what kind of business is Na?"
"regular Ran, my payment affairs study tour, my mother has no money maybe only can pay half first"
"we pay you first Na?"
"no, no Ran, I want to ask for leniency first.
"i'm excited, you know we'll always be there for you" said Kayla, who pinched my cheek with her gurgle.
"yes, thanks a lot Ran, kay"
"we're going first, you're going to follow."
"yes, when I'm done"
we split up, Kayla and Rania went to the cafeteria and I went to the staff and lecturers' room. I went to one of the lecturers to ask.
"assalamualaikum"
"greetings waalaikum, what's the matter Anna?"
"sorry ma'am, regarding the payment of my study tour, can I take a post?"
"who is your class person?"
"sir Arkana ma'am"
"you meet Mr. Arkana first, ask him for solutions as well as how good it is"
I stepped gontai towards the room of Mr. Arkana. I was a little nervous and scared. With my heart pounding I knocked on the door.
-how is this, I have to say what. will sir kana agree? aaahhh hufftt bismilahirrahimrahmanirrahim
shop-tok "assalamualaikum"..
door's open
"greetings waalaikum, come in"
mr. Arkana let me in. I was really scared and squeezed my finger.
"please sit down, what's up?"
"sorry sir, it's about my study tour payment sir" I spoke without seeing Arkana because I was nervous
"can you see me?" asked gently, I raised my face slowly to look at Arkana sir
"sorry sir" I said tightening my finger squeeze.
"why study tour?".
"sorry before sir, I intend to ask for payment waivers, can I pay you my installments sir?"
"how much prick do you want?"
"i mean a million dollars a month sir, can I pay 1 million before leaving sir, the rest I will pay a monthly installments if I can sir"
"well I would recommend you. once you have the money, call me first, then we pay together at the bank. because your payment slip will need my signature"
"ah thank you very much sir, thank you very much. insyaallah tomorrow I will prepare the money.thank you very much in advance sir" I said with enthusiasm and sumringah.
"don't tell the others, because this is a special line"
"yes sir, thank you very much sir, I'm going to class now sir, thank you" I unceasingly thanked.
"you should go to the cafeteria first, don't forget to eat, your body is very light" he said without looking at me
"yeah yes sir, and thank you for helping me when I passed out sir, thank you very much"
"then why did you leave without waiting for me?" a cold aura flashed on his face.
"sorry sir, I don't want to trouble you, sir,"
"then why not tell me? or did you deliberately avoid me Anna?" he looked at me seriously and deeply.whether that was what expression was, I didn't understand.
"sorry sir..... "
"do you know how worried I am? how panicked was I when you fell? do you know how many schedules I canceled for you? you know how freaked out I was when your medical room wasn't around, I went to your class and your friend said you came home, I ran to the gate and you weren't around"
"i'm sorry sir." I don't feel my tears dripping.
"remove your tears, and I beg you not to avoid me" and give me his handkerchief.
"i'm afraid sir . "my answer almost sobbed
"fear why?"
I fear that if I like the father at the end and how people respond, I fear my race is deep and eventually hurt by my own feelings and stupidity.
"yes, remove your tears, and go back to your class, if you can go to the cafeteria first. I will be late for 15 minutes. so you can eat without hurry"
I nodded and stood up, and Mr. Arkana opened the door. I walked to the cafeteria while controlling myself. Arriving at the cafeteria I ordered food and ate voraciously without thinking about my feelings anymore. after eating I went to my class, said Mr. Arkana he was really late 15 minutes.
"please sir, father first" I said
mr. Arkana replied with a smile and then walked into my class.
the lesson hours lasted until the end of the lesson. Pak Arkana left the class and then followed the other students.I also stood up but my phone rang a sign in. I saw my phone screen and it was a chat from Arkana sir.
*i take you home*
the contents of her message were brief, and I decided to wait for her at the campus gate.
"elena ... "
someone called me ....
