Regular classes began that day. The orientation and introduction period of the campus has ended. Students are now focusing on learning for a better future. The atmosphere of the campus is back to normal. Students walking in the corridors of buildings, or those gathered in park chairs while greeting their comrades. Lecturers walked to the class they taught. Staff and staff are busy in administration.
Andre, dressed in a navy shirt and suit, was seen casually walking through the corridor of building D, where post-graduate students were waiting to attend their first lecture. He entered the classroom and smiled, watching the S2 students numbering approximately twenty people.
"Good Morning, Class! (Good morning!)" he said, putting his laptop bag on the table. Then he took his glasses and put them on.
"Good Morning!" greet students.
"Hello, I'm Andre. In this semester, I'll help you to explore more in The Introduction of English Literature," (Hello, I'm Andre. In this semester, I will help you to explore more about the Introduction to English Literature course)" Andre said in the course he will teach that day.
Post-graduate students consisting of young students and some more appear to be more than 35 years old, seem to seriously follow their lecturers.
Suddenly, a knocking sound was heard from the already closed classroom door. Andre sighed. Even the lecture has just begun, there are already students who come late. A knock was heard again at the door, this time louder. Andre had to walk to the classroom door and open it. Because today is the first day, he intends to give a dispensation or leniency to the late student.
JEKKEN. Instantly the morning breeze from outside blew fiercely, flying the late student's hair.
Andre looked at the student's face, gasped and glued at the same time. His heart received an atomic bomb that exploded right then and there.
"I'm sorry, sir! I'm sorry I'm late this morning, because of the traffic hours! (I'm sorry, sir! I was late this morning, because the road was jammed)" said the student in panic, bowing his face.
Andre was still staring at the beautiful student. But he soon realized himself, he stepped back and allowed the student to enter the class.
"Thank you, sir! Thank you so much! I promise I won't do the same mistake! (Thank you Sir! Thank you very much! I promise not to repeat the same mistake!)" said the student was excited and immediately passed to sit in the study chair.
Andre closed the door again, he walked up to his desk and opened his laptop. His heart was still flowing after seeing the student. He didn't expect to meet her here. There was one big question running through his mind. Why did the woman not recognize his face? Was she not the woman she had known?
Ah, Andre became misbehavior in the eyes of his lecture this time. He had stolen a glance at the beautiful student who is now busy removing his notebook and tissue to wipe his sweat that panicked because it was too late. It really hasn't changed at all. That was what Andre thought at the sight of him.
"Ehm. okay, we start the lesson (OK, let's start the lesson)!" he then tried to be as normal and professional as ever.
Seconds, minutes, and hours passed quickly. Andre managed to conquer himself, teaching his students as usual with his characteristic relaxed but easily understood by his students. Before returning home, he asked the students to pass digitally by scanning the barcode of his college eyes. That way no cheating student can manipulate the absences. One by one the students walked forward in an orderly manner to fill the attendance.
The beautiful student was still busy staring at the screen of his mobile phone, while the other students had already come out first. Andre cleared his throat so that he could hear it.
"Oh yes!" he quickly picked up his bag, and walked forward, towards his desk lecturer.
"This one, huh?" ask the woman to confirm a barcode in the folder.
"Yes," replied Andre briefly, tense more precisely.
The woman also scanned the barcode, immediately his name appeared on the screen of Andre's laptop.
Navarina Aurella present 07-05-2020
DEG.
The name appeared. The same name as the person Andre had been looking for and had been waiting for him all this time. His heart is getting louder. Cold sweat started to come out. I don't know why he felt so nervous. Even to say that he could not, as if his tongue was frozen because of his intense nervousness.
"Done, Sir! Thank you! (Done, Sir! Thank you!)" he said he was happy, then he breezed away leaving class and his lecturer who was still silent in his nervousness.
Andre let out a long breath, as if he had been holding his breath since the moment he faced the woman. Several times he patted his eel, then spoke loudly.
"Finally, I meet you! (Finally, I found you)!" he said throw some relief.
He really wanted to call the name of the woman. But it was the nervousness that held him back. But she was grateful to finally meet him, even though it was unexpected. Nava turned out to be his student now. He wondered why the woman did not recognize him at all? Is it because it has not met for a long time or because today Andre wore his glasses. He wears glasses when using his laptop. But there should be no problem, his face was still visible. Even Nava should know the full name of the lecturer. Ah, that woman is indeed as careless as before.
Andre smiled to himself, glad to have rediscovered his first love.
