My Old Star
#46 Name Card
Arfan entered the Dean's room, he walked very quietly from the moment he entered the campus. A cold aura filled the room. There were already three people who would meet him today.
Among the three people there is the Chair of the Study Program, the Head of the Department and the Dean of the Faculty of Sport at University Z.
"Please sit!" the Command of the Head of the Department where Arfan devoted his knowledge.
Arfan sat facing the Dean who looked fiercely looking at him without even smiling.
"We apologize to Mr. Arfan for the inconvenience before, but for the common good we would like to ask you for an explanation before it all expands."
"We also do not want students here to feel burdened because of your actions that are not worthy of their example."
Arfan was still silent listening to all the words that sounded hostile to him without knowing what the underlying reason why he did it.
"You are an educator, it should not be the muscle you put forward but the brain and the moral praise."
Everyone in the room fell silent, only the sound of the clock ticking the wall gave harmony within the quite tense atmosphere.
"Please ask permission if I can speak, sir" Arfan paused his words amid the silence he had created and looked at the people before him.
The three people just nodded, "I do not ask for sympathy or attention from all who are here or anyone who is out there but please judge whether what I do is wrong or right according to the fathers of course it still has a conscience and also an intuition to distinguish between error and truth!" Arfan spoke very loudly.
Arfan told me everything that happened that night without missing a single piece. Meanwhile, Mentari who is in the class is absolutely unable to concentrate on the material delivered by the lecturer who is giving lectures in his class. His mind drifted very far, he was very worried if Arfan was in trouble.
"So that you're called Mia ma'am!" Siska who was sitting next to Mentari whispered.
The new Mentari awakens from her daydream when Siska shakes her shoulders, "What's the matter Sis?"
"So please explain this to your friends, I see you are not concentrating at all today!" mia's orders.
Moving forward, his classmates stared intently at him. There are those who give support and some who mock him.
Mentari began to explain the material that his lecturer asked for, he caught a glimpse of the book on the lecturer's desk and then began to explain to his friends about the concepts they were learning. Mentari explains in his own way without getting hung up with books.
Ms. Mia smiled with satisfaction, as well as all her friends who were more familiar with Mentari's explanation than their lecturer Mia's explanation.
"Good Mentari you can sit down," mom Mia praised Mentari in front of her friends, so that those who had doubted Mentari so shriveled their guts because Mentari had advantages that they did not have.
Arfan has just finished explaining what he needs to explain, "We understand your situation Mr. Arfan, we also judge what you are doing is right according to our version. But according to the legal version we can do nothing but give you support."
"Thank you sir" said Arfan.
Mr. Dean gave Arfan a neatly sealed envelope and sighed, "We decided we're not going to take you off this campus, but we give you a deadline to solve all your problems before going back to teaching."
"Well sir, I'll solve this problem soon!" arfan replied firmly after reading the contents in the envelope that the Dean sir gave him.
"Sir Arfan if you need help please you can contact the person on this business card!" the Dean who was surly now looked a little more friendly.
"We think it's over, so we'll excuse you!" continued.
"After sir, you see this all the news on the internet has disappeared completely even reported that all the newspapers that reported Mr. Arfan have withdrawn all their news." The Head of the Study Program revealed the news he had just accessed through his mobile phone.
"really?"
"Then it's better."
"Sir Arfan once again forgive us, our support will always be there for you. Excuse me."
The three men left the room, and now Arfan is there alone. Arfan picked up a business card lying on the table.
"Akbar Group's Legal Firm." Read Arfan on the letter on the business card.
Arfan kept the business card then out of the room. He did not teach from today until his problems were resolved. The class for which he is responsible has been handed over by the Dean to another Arfan colleague.
Outside it turns out Mentari is waiting for him, Mentari is sitting on the stairs waiting for Arfan to come down. The girl was agitated. After finishing his studies he rushed towards Arfan's place. A bright smile graced her pretty face when she saw the person she was waiting for coming down the stairs.
"Start you here?" Arfan half ran over to Mentari.
"I'm so worried about you, brother," The teary-eyed Mentari hugged Arfan.
"What's wrong with me? See, aren't I okay?" Arfan stretched out his hands to show him nothing less.
"I know you're in big trouble, brother, I already know everything so don't pretend to me anymore." Mentari sobbing in Arfan's chest.
"So let's go to grandma's house, I have to talk to grandma."
They arrived at Vijaya's grandmother's house, "Finally you came too, grandma has been waiting for you since."
"Let's sit down!" grandmother Wijaya's orders.
"What's Grandma calling me today?" Ask Arfan to his grandmother.
"What do you think your grandmother is, huh? You had a problem but never wanted to share it with grandma."
"Sorry Grandma Arfan yes, maybe she doesn't want to bother grandma." Mentari tries to give understanding.
Grandma Wijaya rubbed the back of Mentari's hand that held her hand tightly pleading for understanding from her.
Mentari understand Arfan's current mood, Arfan was on the way more silent and focused on the road than talking to him as usual. It seems clear that Arfan has a fairly heavy mind load.
"I'll go upstairs first!" Arfan got up from his seat leaving behind Mentari and Vijaya's grandmother.
"So you see him, it's always like that." Grandma Wijaya looked sad mixed with annoyance with the attitude of Arfan who actually did not want to burden grandma with the problem.
"Don't think too much about it, Grandma, because grandmother must take care of health and should not be stressed. Doesn't grandma want to see our great-grandchildren?" Mentari tried to shift their conversation so that grandmother was not too sad with Arfan's attitude.
"Of course dear Mentari, grandma wants to take a funny great-grandchild away from you."
"No'a grandma will definitely come out soon!"
"really?"
"Of course, my parents have allowed us to live together, they just want us to get married quickly."
"Didn't Grandma hear me wrong?"
Mentari nodded and smiled, Grandma Wijaya got up from her seat then pranced with excitement while holding on to Mentari.
"Wijaya be careful with your back!" mahmud's grandfather who had just finished performing his worship gave a warning to his grandmother.
"I'm so happy Mahmud, my grandson is getting married!"
Mentari managed to make the atmosphere in the house melt again, Arfan who saw the scene from the top floor smiled happily, it turns out with the joy of Mentari was able to give his own color in his grandmother's house that had long been frozen.
"I did not choose you wrong Mentari, Grandma really likes you. At least I can be a little relieved that I can make Grandma smile happily." Arfan said, then entered his room.
In the room, Arfan picked up a business card that he slipped in his pocket. Arfan remembered the check call he received last afternoon from the campus because the Ilyas family made a report that caused Arfan to meet the call from the investigator.
Arfan thinks even though he's on the right side, he still needs a lawyer to handle his case.
Arfan pressed one by one the number listed on the business card and then pressed the green button to contact the owner of the number.
"Hallo..," greet someone from across the phone as soon as the phone is connected.
