HUSBAND OF ANOTHER NATURE

"Sri, um, are you still mad at me?"
I looked at Rena, my best friend who was currently standing right beside me. Instantly my heart race burned when it saw him. As long as he was friends with her, I was never this angry with him.
Hmm, hold-hold, I can't possibly show my annoyance at her. It's not entirely Rena's fault.
"angry? I've never been mad at you, Ren," I said. Half forced my lips to review the smile as sweetly as possible.
"Sri, I know how you feel, I can't be ...,"
"Ah, stop, Ren. Maybe I don't know myself,"
"You mean, Sri,"
"Well, Mr. Lecturer just considers myself a friend. Nothing more. So, she's free to be close to anyone including you, Ren," I desperately held back the tears that were ready to spill. Si*lan, my heart and lips are out of sync. Go backwards.
"Sri, me and the Lecturer...,"
Tettt's! tettt!
The bell rang to coincide with Rena who seemed to want to explain something. I don't want Rena to stop her words.
Drap-drap-drap
The sound of the foot clattering ..., it must be Mr. Lecturer! hmm, hold it up, I can't take any more pitches on him. Stopit!
Come, Sri. Come .. throw that feeling away. Had enough. Thats enough. I can't let him play with my feelings anymore.
"Good morning, kids. Today we start the bla-bla-bla lesson,"
I don't know what Mr. Lecturer said, none of his words entered my brain. Really torturing. To look at his face I was already puffed up. Had enough. I don't want to get hurt back.
"Sri, is there anything I want to ask you?"
Degh's!
What the fuck? I didn't point my hand at all or anything. I kept quiet and just looked down. He looked away and tried hard not to look at his face.
"Ah, ti-nothing, sir," I replied slightly stuttering. Ooh, I finally looked into those eyes. Eyes that I miss so much and .. I must forget.
"I'm waiting in the room after I get home, I have something to talk about. It's about the scholarship, "I hear what he said. Her room? how could I forget it if there was only one because he and I had to be close? is it about scholarships or just thinking?
"Sri? Srih! did you hear my words?" this time Mr. Gio's voice rose to make me jerk in shock, as well as my friends until their gazes were all directed towards me. Is he angry? should I be angry with him? could he...,
"Sri!"
"Oh, yeah-yes, sir... I heard,"
"good. I'll wait for noon. And kids, our class is over, thank you and don't forget to do the job,"
Tap-tap-tap!
That handsome guy walking masculine out of class wreaked awe on the lips of the girls in my class, and probably in other classes as well. Yes, the charm of Mr. Gio is not in doubt.
Who wouldn't want to be in his warm arms? his blue eyes that set when satirizing, his blonde hair that sparkles when exposed to sunlight, his breath that smells of mint, his fresh fragrance that smells of paris perfume, france. What could I hate about him?
"Sri, let's go to the cafeteria. I want to continue with the story, "Rena patted me on the shoulder slowly.
"Hmmh," I sighed deeply. Still very disappointed in him. Am I really jealous blind?
"I have business, Ren. Later," I refused subtly. Along with that, I got up from my seat and left Rena who was still standing. "Sorry, Ren. I don't want to be disturbed,"
my inner.
Sadness actually infiltrated the recesses of my heart, I never avoided Rena like this. I'm sure Rena is sad because of me. I'm sorry, Ren ....

I sat alone on the campus park bench. Enjoying the breeze that sometimes hit my short hair that waved beautifully. Repeatedly I exhaled, throwing away the tightness that was squeezing from a few days ago.
"Come, focus, Sri. Soon to the bachelor. I have to be strong. After this, I can be free to leave this campus and will never meet with Mr. Gio again," I said trying to encourage myself. Yeah, I gotta focus. This is not the end but the beginning of my struggle to change fate.
"Sri, Rena is my student. How could I love a student?"
The words of the handsome Lecturer always accompany my days, and my every step. Yes, after saying that he only considers me a friend and cannot possibly love a disciple, I do not want to immerse myself too deeply in his thoughts.
With a giant step I returned to class, and was forced to pass through the room of Mr. Gio who was not far from the park.
Akh, I pressed my chest which suddenly hurt. My steps stopped when I accidentally caught the figure of Rena who was entering the room of Mr. Lecturer. True my guess, Rena and Mr. Lecturer have a special relationship. There was no way Rena could just walk into her room if there was nothing between them.
I ran away from the Lecturer's room. Don't ask me how my heart is breaking, but I promise I won't shed a single tear. I will hold the wounds and pains in my heart.

Tettt-tett-tett!
The bell came home. A sign I have to meet that shitty lecturer right now.
"Huff!" I sighed deeply and threw it away violently. Like in a rock with tons of weight.
"Sri, you want Gio's room, uh Mr. Gio, yes?"
"Gios? is it so close that they are now that Rena can just say her name?" my inner.
"Yes, I have to go there" I said without looking at Rena in the slightest. Stepping quickly left Rena in class.
My steps felt heavy, the closer to the room, the more my feet felt like they were on a rock.
Wh-tok-tok!
"Yes, please come in, Sri," said someone from inside the room.
Clamps!
I'm trying to push the doorknob. The rumbling in my chest was unbearable.
I bowed my face as my eyes were forced to meet his blue eyes.
The man looked at me sharply with a gripping look on his face, to me.
I slowly approached his desk. He still looked at me with a look like he wanted to prey.
Sretta!
I slowly slide the chair in front of his desk. Still down and my heart is pounding.
Bught!
I sat down slowly and raised my face timidly.
"Sri, regarding the scholarship, I will apply for the scholarship for you to go even higher, are you interested?"
As the durian collapsed, of course I took it with my handsome Lecturer's offer, but a moment later his hurtful speech came back to my mind.
"Thank you, sir. I will learn more, and I will comply with the conditions" I said.
"And about us, I ...,"
"Sorry, Sir. I don't think there's anything to talk about, I'm nobody, and I don't want to think about anything that doesn't matter. Education to me is more important," out of nowhere, I can fluently say sentence by sentence.
Sretta!
I shifted my chair and got off Mr. Gio's desk. Step towards the door and ...
Taps!
The door I was about to open was pushed forcefully with Mr. Gio. I'm stunned. His body was behind me. I could feel the warmth of my back because our bodies were almost attached.
Sett!
Mr. Gio pulled my body until now my position is facing him. His body higher than mine makes my eyes now fixed on the chest of his field which is very stunning, I ...
