My student's my future husband?
Episode 66

She walked over to her husband. Since he had called out his name, Ferdian did not respond.

"Fre?" call Ajeng into his room.

Ajeng shook his head to see the body of her husband lying on the mattress with his eyes closed. It turns out that her husband was sleeping. Is he so tired that he's sleeping faster tonight? Ask in his heart.

She could not wake her husband. He forgot for a moment about his ice cream. He went back to the kitchen and peeled the fruits.

After realizing that his wife was not in the room, Ferdian departed from his sleep. He can breathe a little, though a little. He pretended to be asleep, worried that his wife would get angry because he forgot to buy his ice cream. But he should sleep first. Ferdian set an alarm at 21:30 so he could wake up for prayers. He knew at that hour his wife must have fallen asleep. Ferdian this time was completely asleep in his sleep.

The sound of alarms rang out loudly beside Ferdian's body. Ferdian immediately woke up and turned off the alarm he had installed earlier. He put his body back on the bed, his eyes closed again.

"Fer, wake! You have not prayed!" said Ajeng who was beside him.

Ferdian immediately woke up. He looked at his wife who was still reading a novel. Suddenly, his heart felt unsettled. He thought his wife was sleeping as usual, but not tonight.

"You haven't slept, honey?" asked Ferdian rubbing his face.

"Not yet! I was even preoccupied with reading novels," replied Ajeng whose eyes remained fixed on his reading.

"Let's sleep, you can't lack sleep!" ferdian's orders.

"Yes, just a little more! I'm praying, I'm sleeping with you!"

Ferdian sighed. He hopes Ajeng does not mention ice cream anymore. Ferdian rushed to take ablution and performed the delayed prayer.

"Fer, did you forget to bring ice cream?" ask Ajeng after Ferdian finished fulfilling his obligations.

Ferdian. His wife was a promise collector. He just listened to his wife's question.

Ajeng annoyed him. He closed his novel, turned off the lights, and covered his body with a blanket, without saying anything more.

Ferdian looked at him worriedly. He immediately grabbed his wife's body from behind.

"I'm sorry, honey? I completely forgot! I'm in a hurry to get home so Maghrib is home!" ferdian said softly.

But there was no answer from his wife. Ferdian tried to turn his wife's body upside down.

"I'm sorry?" asked Ferdian looking at his wife who had not been closed.

"Hmmm..."

"Tomorrow I'll buy it!" ferdian.

"You should know about women, Fer! Never promise anything to a woman. Because once you make a promise and you forget, it will drop your hope. It is better to give a surprise without notice, no matter how small it is, women will be happy to accept it," said Ajeng playing her husband's front hair.

Ferdian smiled broadly, "Alright then!" he said as he kissed his wife's forehead.

Meanwhile somewhere else, Nava stared at her phone nervously. He was about to call Gerry that night to ask about Andre he met earlier on campus. It was just that his heart was still hesitating. But he decided to actually contact Gerry.

"Hello Ger?" ask Nava on the phone.

"Why Va? Tumben you call, usually very anti!" ask Gerry who knows the habits of his introverted friend.

"Andre, Ger!"

"Why Andre?" ask Gerry curiously.

"Is he married?" ask Nava plain.

The question made Gerry laugh. Nava scrunched his face.

"Why are you asking that?" gerry finished his laugh.

"Umm..Today I saw him!" answer Nava.

"Correct?"

"Yes, we'll see dong!"

"Wow, great!"

"Jawab my question, Ger!" yell Nava panicked.

"When what is it?" gerry asked to test the woman.

Nava tore her body down on her apartment mattress. Instead of answering Gerry's question, he buried his head under a pillow. While the phone is still connected.

"Va, let's go roaming woy! Your pulse will run out!" gerry said, reminding him that he is in Singapore.

"His wife is pregnant!" nava shouted, making Gerry slightly keep his ears away from his phone.

Gerry laughed again. He did not understand why his friend had such thoughts.

"Good dong! So you can marry me!" gerry said without burden, which made the woman more dizzy made.

"Capek is talking to you, Ger!" nava said annoyed and hung up.

Gerry was surprised not to play. He was mistaken, it turns out that his friend could not be joked. Nava was really serious this time. He tries to call Nava's number back, but the woman does not pick up the phone. He could only sigh and resume his work.

Meanwhile, Nava prefers to think healthy and brooding. He had just met the man, he should have asked him to have a conversation before concluding something he did not even know at all. It's stupid, it's for yourself.

Nava called Gerry. But not to ask about Andre's status.

"I can clear it up, Va!" gerry said after picking up the phone from Nava.

"I'm asking for Andre's number, don't you?" ask Nava without further ado.

"Yes, I have!" answer Gerry.

"Cepet send to my whatsapp yes, thanks!" nava said flatly and immediately hung up the phone.

Gerry shook his head. He immediately sent Andre's number to Nava.

[Go, fight, win!] type Gerry after sending Andre number in chat.

[Gerry dodol!] reply Nava.

With anxious feelings now Nava thinks should he contact Andre tonight or tomorrow morning or just next week. He had to be brave as when he expressed his feelings first even though only by email.

Nava took a deep breath, then exhaled it. He pressed the number on his phone.

The connection is connected. Once, twice, the owner of the number has not yet been appointed.

"Hello?" greet the voice across, making the woman's heart beat two to three times faster.

"Who is this with?" asked the man, even his voice was indeed that of Andre who had never changed since almost eight years ago.

"Hello," said Nava slowly, braving himself.

"I'm sorry, who am I talking to?" asked Andre softly.

"Ah, sorry it seems like a wrong connection," said Nava reasoned, he was really nervous.

"Who are you looking for?"

"Find.., um.., find Mister...,"

Andre still continued to listen patiently, although he did not know whether his phone connection was right for him or not.

"Find Mister Real Gombal" said Nava furrowing his eyebrows.

DEG.

Andre's heart jumped. He memorized the nickname was his, a gift from Nava.

"The nava?! Is that you (Is that you)?" asked Andre nervously.

Nava's tongue was silent and speechless.

"The nava?! Answer me!" exclaim Andre.

"L-yes, it's me, Navarina Aurella, Mister!" nava kaku.

Andre was both relieved and nervous at the same time. He wondered why the woman could contact him, maybe he had realized that the lecturer was his best friend when High School first.

"Oh God! There you are (Oh my God, you are there)! So you're really my student who was late, right?" andre asked to convince himself.

"I-iya," answered Nava again stiffly.

Andre smiled with relief. He feels very happy.

"Sorry, this morning I didn't realize it was you, Dre!" nava hesitated.

"No problem! Naturally, we haven't seen you in a long time!"

Then the two fell silent, the phone was silent.

"Nava..," call Andre to make sure that the woman is still connected to the phone.

"Yes?"

"Can we chat more casually or meet the point, off campus of course!" andre chuckled.

Nava smile.

"Can, when?"

"When are you empty?" ask Andre.

"I guess you're busier!" answer Nava.

"Well, yeah, we can meet this Saturday, can we?"

"Can I call you later, Va?"

"okay!"

"Okay, I'll say yes, Dre?" nava permission, because the time has also shown at 21.57 wib.

"Va.." call Andre.

"Why?"

"Thanks, call me" said Andre.

"Together," replied Nava.

"Good nights!"

"Nite!"

Nava dropped her body on the bed. He doesn't believe what happened. But her heart is now in flower. For a moment he thought, if only Andre had married maybe he would not have invited him to meet on Saturday. Right it?

\======

That morning, the sky was clear. The morning breeze gently ushered the fragile leaves leaning on the ground. Andre intends to meet his old friend, Nava, who is now a student on campus. Because they actually live in a neighborhood not far from campus, so they only meet at Roxie Cafe.

Nava, who was already sitting on one of the sofas in the corner of the second-floor cafe, looked nervous and tense. Several times he sighed and exhaled long, to make himself relax. Shortly after, Andre, who was wearing a casual shirt suit, emerged from the stairs. He circulated his gaze looking for the figure he would meet. Then stepped his legs after knowing the figure of the woman was there.

"Hey, it's been a while?" greet Andre surprised Nava from behind.

Nava moved out of his seat. He extended his hand.

"How are you, Dre?" the tananya is friendly but feels awkward.

Andre welcomed his hand, "Okay, Va! You?"

"I'm good too" Nava replied nervously with a faint smile.

The two sat on the sofa.

"What have you been so busy with?" andre opened the conversation.

"Um..I'm a writer, Dre!" answer Nava.

"Oh wow, so are your goals accomplished?"

Nava smiled.

"How many works have been published, Va?"

"Five novels, Dre!"

"Wow, cool!"

"This is my latest novel, for you!" said Nava thrust a book, make Andre enthusiastic.

"Thanks, Va!"

"And this too, my first novel. I guess you should read it, because it's about our story during High School!" Nava handed another book to Andre.

"Woah, isn't it Va? This for me?!" andre asked in disbelief.

Nava smiled, "Yes to you! Count the rewards you sent back!" nava.

"Haha, even though it is not okay to reply! The bill was a joke!" said Andre considering he once gave a box containing various souvenirs from London.

"It's okay Dre. You should read my work, promise me, right?" nava said to collect Andre's promise first when High School. Because Nava aspires to be a writer, Andre promises to read his works.

"Ready please!"

"Don't forget my input and criticism!" said Nava.

"Sipp!"

Andre placed the two Nava-given novels beside him.

"Oh yeah, we haven't ordered anything yet?!" Andre.

"Oh yeah, what do you want?"

"I ordered a tiramisu layer cake with a cappucino float!" answer Andre.

"okay!" Nava called the waiter to record his second order.

The two talked about their lives all along. Although it feels a little awkward, but they can still familiarize themselves. Especially when the two told about their High School days and the achievement they got today. Both can be said to achieve the dream they aspire to first.

"Are you married to Dre?" tanya Nava ventured. It suddenly made Andre's eyes widen in surprise.

"Why are you asking that, Va?" asked Andre curiously.

"Um..nebak aja!" he said he didn't risk embarrassment.

"Not yet!" andre replied clearly and briefly, this time replacing the surprised Nava.

"As for who came home yesterday with you? Who else is pregnant?" ask Nava curious.

"You mean Ajeng? That's a lecturer on campus, his wife's cousin. It just so happened that my cousin came home early in the afternoon, so he asked me to help bring his wife home" replied Andre.

"Oohh.." somehow Nava's heart felt relieved.

"Did you see I'm coming home?"

"Hehe, yes, I think it's your wife getting pregnant, because it looks so familiar!" answer Nava clumsy.

Andre smiled at Nava's reasoning. In his heart he was happy, it turned out that Nava was still paying attention to him.

"Yourselves, no such couple?" this time Andre asked.

"I was too busy in the world of writing, so it dissolved itself in the story!" answer Nava chuckled.

"Awas later you stray in your own world you know, continue to be unaware suddenly become a spinster!" andre joked.

"Ish, nasty! No, so the lecture again let's be a little sane again this is his brain! Haha!"

"Haha, kidding doang!" andre laughed.

"Ah you yourself too" said Nava. "Busy college until S3, wait until the hair runs out huh, Dre?"

"Haha!"

"When will the execution take place?" nava asked inquisitively.

"When? Wanna when?" asked Andre, making the woman even so pounding to hear Andre's question.

"Yes.i-i-it's up to you" said Nava clumsily scratching his head that does not itch.

Andre laughed at the woman in front of him who looked groggy.

"Va, try to make a story about matchmaking, rich story of my cousin Ferdian the same Ajeng. Funny power!" said Andre recalled Ajeng's story about his match with his cousin.

"Oh yeah? The matchmaking story hits really hard, no!"

"Yes, the wealth is interesting and the reader market is also a lot" said Andre.

"Well, how rich you got to know me, what was his name?"

"Jang! Yes, that's the lecturer on our campus as well. It's only possible to be on leave because you want to be born," replied Andre.

"May, next time you know?!" nava Pinta.

"For sure!" andre smiled.

I don't think the sun has gone up. A fairly long conversation had ended between the two who had separated distance and time. But now the two have met, whether what thread they will knit later.
