Mr Love Love
New Professor

"Yeahah! It's sick!"

My chest was pounding very hard to see the figure of a child crying on the sofa in the middle room.

Didn't I talk to the seven Art this morning? Where did that bad boy come from? Why didn't I see him this morning? I muttered in my heart as I stroked my chest at the bad sight that was in front of me, the boy thrashing. Instead of being silent the sound of her crying was even more broken. This is the reason why I don't like kids too much, they're so ugly, annoying and naughty.

"Who is this boy? Where'd he come from?" I shouted in a high voice. Sabina who heard my words immediately looked at me with a sharp gaze, as if her gaze would skin me alive.

Unlike the seven Art, they can only be silent, sculpting in one position that is standing.

"Who gave you the right to bring a child into my house, huh? How dare you act without my permission!" I came back screaming.

"Already, Mas. You don't have to be angry anymore. The sweet child is in a lot of pain, please check him and treat his back. I'm sure she's crying because the pain is bothering her so much."

This time Sabina opened her voice while holding my arm. Looked at me with a look of sadness.

"We'll talk later after you've checked the situation." Sabina again.

A second later I walked up to the sofa, rubbed the sweet boy's head and looked at him with a look of pity. I slowly pulled his shirt, trying to see the condition of his back.

"What did you do until this little kid got spilled by hot water? If you can't take care of him why are you burdening him with your ridiculous behavior? I really don't understand your way of thinking." This time I grumbled while smearing the medicine on the back of that sweet boy named Rima.

Thank goodness the wound wasn't so bad, I'm sure it hurt him a lot. What else later, the sweet boy could have groaned because of the pain of the medicine I smeared.

It didn't take long, the sweet boy went back to sleep.

"Now tell me, where did you bring the boy? Why didn't I see him this morning? If I know you're carrying a child, then I'm sure I'll kick you all out!" My grunts again, my gaze as sharp as a dagger.

"Mas, they talked to me this morning. Actually tonight I'm gonna talk to you about Rima. Too bad I didn't have a chance at that.

Please forgive them. Sweet baby rhyme, and I like it a lot. For my sake and our relationship can you do that for me? This is my first wish, and I want Mas Araf to let them keep working here. Can, right?" Sabina said at length, her eyes explaining that she meant what she said.

For me and our relationship!

The memory of my brain keeps repeating Sabina's words, does she really love that child? That fast? How could? For a moment I looked back one by one at the seventh face of Art that came this morning, three women and four men. They were overwhelmed with fear.

Am I so scared that they don't dare look me in the face? I myself do not know that and I do not have the strength to guess the answer either. I'm still upset until I don't want to be downstairs anymore.

Huhhhhhh!

I was breathing rough. Although I was very upset I tried to control myself.

My beautiful night has ended because of this mess and now I have to hear an explanation why they dared to bring a child into my house.

"Sir, I'm just a single mother. My husband chose to marry another woman a year ago. My former mother-in-law is not a good person. He always threatened to take my daughter.

I had no choice but to leave my hometown and complain of fate in a new place. Living in this city is not easy either. Two days ago I ran away from my employer's house because they beat my daughter.

Fortunately I met Ms. Iyem and she willingly helped me get a job. If you don't like having a child here then I don't have the right to work at your house either. Please let me stay tonight sir, Madam, I promise to leave tomorrow morning." Said the woman while cupping her hands in front of her chest. Her tears just kept dripping as if tomorrow would never come again.

I looked at Sabina's face, her beautiful face again showing off a smile as beautiful as a full moon. I know he's very happy, seeing him happy I feel a great calm. It is wonderful that this gift of love, just by looking at the happy face of the one we love can bring happiness, happiness without limits.

...***...

I woke up at 03:00. Performing Tahajud prayers congregate with Mas Araf then listen to each other's recitation of the Qur'an while waiting for the morning Azan to reverberate.

As usual, I made coffee for Mas Araf, then enjoyed coffee together, breakfast together, and finally Mas Araf drove me to campus, separated under heavy circumstances.

"Bie... Do you know today we have a new Professor?" Adel, my best friend since the early semester asked with excitement.

"New professor? I don't know. What is the new Professor for? Isn't Mr Damar still around?"

"You really missed the gossip. reportedly..."

"Stop!" I interrupted Kristi's words while closing her lips with my right hand.

Adel and Kristi, we're really very close. We began to make friends since becoming a new student at the prestigious campus where we studied. Kristi is a violent prick, while Adel is the drama queen. I don't know why I get along with them when I'm so much different from them.

"I know what you're going to say, so don't move on. I don't like to gossip." My babble while walking away from Adel and Kristi. The two strange girls could only snort in annoyance.

In class, I sat on the front bench. I deliberately chose the front bench because I know Adel and Kristi very well, once I indulge their desire to sit on the back seat then they will not let me focus on learning, he said, their lips will not stop gossiping.

"I'm waiting for the Professor to come. Why is he so long?" Adel said while playing with his new hair.

I felt like laughing off hearing Adel's words, as long as I knew him not once he expected the Lecturer to come.

"Did I not hear wrong? Since when did you start studying enthusiastically? Does what happened to Mr. Damar make you frustrated?" Kristi asked while looking at Adel with a sharp look.

I who heard the words of the two riotous girls could only shake my head in disbelief.

"Said the new Professor is very handsome. He's a Madinah graduate, who knows I fit him then I can change like Sabina, I mean using those brackets." Babe Adel pointed at the blue robe I was wearing.

"Oooo, so the problem is he's so handsome? Not because you're interested in learning!" I was in Adel and Kristi's conversation.

"This is not a simple matter Bina! You're the good guy, you're married, your husband is very handsome and his hospital career is good too. What are we?" Kristi said while pinching my bangir nose. There was no reply from me other than a rough sigh.

"He's coming." Rania who had been waiting at the door spoke with an excited spirit.

He's coming, that means it must be a new Professor. Mr. Damar, a perverted lecturer who was repeatedly involved in the same scandal with his students, was forced to resign because he did not heed the Rector's warning, I hope this time there will be a different atmosphere.

The classroom that had been boisterous turned silent in just a matter of seconds, as soon as the figure expected came all eyes looking at him with astonished gazes, the new Professor was indeed handsome, indeed, and that can't be denied. As handsome as he is, my Mas Araf is the best.

Sabine... Sabina, what's wrong with you, you're comparing your husband to your new Professor? But... Is he really the new Professor in our class? How could? I muttered inwardly while staring at the beautiful face that was currently still standing in front of the class.
