MY BOYFRIEND LECTURER
66. Considerations
“Zaki, are you here?” cyra asked as they passed by. It didn't matter to him to call out the name. No one is listening. There was no one nearby.
“Ya,” Zaki replied expressionlessly. Zaki is so, every time he is on campus looks like a plate as if there is no special relationship between him and Cyra.
“For what business?” Cyra wants to hear some good news from Zaki's mouth.
“Just take this.” Zaki showed me the envelope.
“Amplop what is it?” Cyra stared at the stamped envelope.
“Recommendation.”
Cyra speechless.
“There's a campus that offers me a job. This is a chance for me.”
“Where?”
“Di Bogor.”
Cyra's disappointed. I heard a long breath from his nose.
“That's a long way off,” watered down Cyra.
“I'm still considering it.”
“Did the dean not offer you to return to lecturer at this campus?”
Zaki shakes.
A disappointed expression again gushed on Cyra's face. The Dean thought over. Bummer!
“Don't manyun! You're ugly when you're a manyun,” Zaki chirps to make Cyra flutter.
Shame on being ugly about Zaki.
“I can still love you, right?” Ask Zaki.
“Yes, don't worry. I am the only one who will always love you. Whatever happens.”
“But I don't want to be away from you.”
“I didn't say I'd be far away from you.”
“Well, that's you want to go to Bogor.”
“Kan I'm still considering.”
“Why should be considered? Why not just be rejected? Means there's a chance you'll accept the offer.”
“Cyra, in addition to the affairs of both of us, there are affairs of profession as well that I should run.”
“I've asked the dean to revoke his decision with a myriad of reasonable reasons. And the dean said he would consider. But why hasn't he asked you to come back yet?”
“Considered does not mean approved. Still fifty. Don't get your hopes up. Yeah, I'm leaving. Studying the diligent. If God wanted me to pick up the windfall here, then my feet would not be possible to leave this campus. Trust.”
Zaki smiled past Cyra. He flicked his finger into the air, right in front of Cyra's face.
Cyra just silently stared at Zaki's departure. Why is it so hard for Zaki to come back the way he was? Why the dean thinks so much. Geez, how come Cyra's a gedeg, anyway? It seems that Cyra's efforts are worshiping the dean if the consideration turns out not to be in accordance with the expected.
“Many prayers, Ra. Hopefully Mr. Zaki will quickly return to this campus.” Rere approached Cyra and grabbed her best friend's shoulder.
“It's not just a prayer that I've been doing, Re. I also asked the dean to withdraw his decision for a myriad of reasons. The Dean accepted my reasoning and said he would consider. But until now the dean has not given a decision.”
“Wah wah, lo cool, Ra. Your struggle for love is really T O P already. If I were lo, I wouldn't dare to meet the dean. Wiggling the face with the shape of his body was horrified. His eyes look tajem. His wibaw is high. What's more squirming his distended stomach, duh syeereeem. Fear erupts before my eyes.”
Cyra nudged Rere's arm while staring at the figure of the man passing by their side. Rere followed Cyra's line of sight and felt his heart pounding against his chest looking at the passing dean. Instantly, Rere's knees were limp and tremble.
