My student's my future husband?
Episode 73

That afternoon after teaching, Ajeng seemed to clean up the items on his desk. His student papers were scattered above. He casually arranged it and put it into his map.

A white-haired man with a stomach that is no less big than Ajeng's stomach, came to the young lecturer.

"Ajeng.." call Mr. Burhan, who is a senior lecturer in English Literature.

"Yes, what's wrong, Mr Burhan?" tanya Ajeng while moving from her chair.

"Tomorrow can you replace me for the handover of new books in our library?" ask a man who is more or less his age is almost 70 years old. Mr. Burhan is the head of the library of the Faculty of Cultural Sciences.

"Oh, there's an event in the library, right?"

"Yes the plan Natabooks will donate several literary books and novels of his publication. I happened to have an impromptu meeting in the rectorate building, so I could not give a welcome and a handover from Natabooks. Well, you're a reading ambassador at our faculty, so there's no harm in replacing me tomorrow?" brightest.

Ajeng's eyes widened to hear the word Natabooks. He thought for a moment, during his lecturer he had always been a reading ambassador at his faculty. He often campaigned for students to read and visit the library more often. But after marriage, his activities were a little neglected.

"What time is it, sir?" ask Ajeng, if only the event collided with his teaching schedule.

"It's 10 in the morning, right? I see your schedule is empty tomorrow," said Mr. Burhan, making Ajeng inevitably so can not refuse it, because at that hour he did not have a teaching schedule.

"Alright then, I'll prepare myself. So what should I do to change my duties?" tanya Ajeng was worried.

"You only need to give a speech to the Natabooks, and receive a book symbolically that will be covered by the Faculty Journalism Team. How could it be, right? Later I send a letter and details of the book that will be given by Natabooks to our faculty."

"Oh, fine, sir! Hopefully there are no obstacles," said Ajeng.

"The sipp! Hopefully smoothly yes, thank you very much, yes Jeng!" said Mr. Burhan who then left the woman whose body is still sculpting.

Ajeng blinked his eyes. This means he'll meet Kevin again. What would he say to Ferdian? He breathed a long breath, before his cell phone rang.

"Where areyou? I'm in the parking lot!" ferdian said on mobile.

"Oh yeah, I'll be down in a minute."

"I've been waiting in the dean's lobby, huh?"

"Yes, honey, thanks!"

Ajeng immediately tidied up all his stuff back and took his bag and map after it was done. Some lecturers from other majors who will also come home smile at him. Ajeng replied to her with his smile, although he was a bit panicked and in a hurry. But he immediately regained his senses as he was going down the stairs, he stepped carefully.

A big, sweet smile greeted the long-haired woman from the lobby. Ferdian was already waiting for him there, a salem shirt outfit with a white shirt and his jeans made him look really cool. The woman instantly became excited and sparkling.

Ferdian immediately greeted his wife's hand as she set foot on the lobby floor. Ferdian brought her lady bag. The two hold hands with each other while smiling.

"What do you want to eat tonight?" ask Ferdian cheerfully.

"Tumben asked, why?"

"Do you want to eat out or do I cook?" hail that bright-skinned man.

Ajeng seemed to mutter for a moment.

"I want to make something happen to you, okay?" pinta Ajeng with beaming eyes.

"Can you eat what?"

"Pasta!" answer Ajeng.

"Well, ready!"

The two got into the car and drove to his apartment.

Ferdian looked engrossed in chopping garlic in his kitchen, as he boiled a fettucine-type paste in his hot pot. Then he melted the butter on top of his dish, and put garlic in heavy cream. He drained the cooked pasta, and briefly boiled broccoli. In another pan, he sauteed fresh shrimp and mixed it with creamy garlic sauce that he had made earlier after the ware was perfectly cooked. The man put salt and italian seasoning into his sauce. He tasted the sauce made, and it feels right. He added a little lemon juice to make it feel fresher. A mature broccoli is put in it and mixed into the sauce.

Ajeng gave her two plates to her husband. It helps to serve the pasta that has been sliced onto the plate. Ferdian took a skillet filled with creamy garlic sauce of broccoli shrimp and poured it on a plate that already had pasta. Smoke billows into the air, the aroma of garlic, shrimp and italian seasoning feels very evocative on the tongue.

"Done, Shrimp Scampi with Creamy Garlic Fettucine & Broccoli by Chef Ferdian!" he said he was serving the plate on the dining table,

"Thank you so much, My Handsome Chef (Thank you very much, my handsome chef)!" said Ajeng amazed. She could not bear to eat the dinner made by her husband.

"You're welcome, My Beloved Queen (Sama-sama, my Beloved Queen)!"

Ajeng took a glass of water and presented it to her husband. They also prayed together and ate their special dinner menu with pleasure.

"I used to study with Mother" replied Ferdian who is now opening a laptop doing his college assignments.

"Why do you want to learn to cook? It's a man!"

"Yes, at first I was just happy to pay attention to Mother cooking. Keep Mother ajakin, somehow there is a happy feeling when you manage to cook for the first time. So I kept on his hobby. I used to watch MasterChef and practice, lucky to never get it wrong" Ferdian said.

"Great one! I used to be the laziest when I went to the kitchen, let alone having to peel the onion that smells long on the skin!"

"Haha, maybe because your hobby is not there. But since you're a girl, you don't want to have to go to the kitchen, do you?"

"Yes, since I lived alone I just started learning to cook, it was also simple. I don't want to bother!"

Ferdian shook his head at his wife's habit. Ajeng is indeed typical who do not want to bother especially in the kitchen. Even so, his wife always took the time to cook for them, because Ajeng did not want to spend a lot of money to eat outside the cleanliness and quality of food is not necessarily maintained.

Ajeng sat beside Ferdian, at their respective desks. While Ferdian was working on his contemporary literary essay assignment, Ajeng took out a paper to examine the quiz results he gave to his students. He recalled Mr. Burhan's request for tomorrow. However, it seemed like he had to finish his work first, only to talk to Ferdian. He too late to check the work of his students.

The night time has shown at 21:12 WIB, the air is getting cold. Ferdian closed his laptop, his essay task has been successfully done completely. While Ajeng was still focused on completing his work, there were still a few more sheets of his student paper.

Ferdian looked at his wife's serious face. Actually he really wanted to tease her, but surely the woman would be angry. He just folded his hands on the table and looked at his wife.

"Are you done?" tanya Ajeng without looking at her husband, even though he realized he was being stared at.

"Well, can I wait?" tanyakanya.

"If you want to sleep first, go first!" said Ajeng is still focused on checking the task.

"I'm here, wait for you!"

She looked at her husband while smiling. A few minutes later, he was done and returned the papers to his map.

"Honey.." call Ferdian who has covered his body with a thick blanket.

"Why?" tanya Ajeng turned off her bedroom lights. She lay beside her husband's body.

"Tomorrow morning I have to go to the neighboring campus," Ferdian said staring at the ceiling of his already dark room.

"What event is it?"

"There is a literary seminar, there happens to be a theory that I take for the thesis to be discussed there" Ferdian explained. "So, I want to listen to the speaker, who knows how to help!" said again.

"Aren't you going to college in the morning?"

"Morning lecture from 8 aja actually, only Mr. Burhan skipped class, he said there was a meeting at the rectorate. So I want to take a break to the seminar, even though until lunch, it's back to campus because there's a class Miss Novi" Ferdian explained.

"Oooh, yes, you have come to the seminar. Who knows, it really helps" said Ajeng.

"Thank You Darling!"

"Fer, I also have an event at the library tomorrow!" say Ajeng alternately.

"What way?" tanya Ferdian looked at his wife.

"But don't think too much?" said Ajeng worried that her husband would even cancel going to the seminar.

"Emang why?"

"Pak Burhan is the head of the library, while I am the Reading Ambassador at the faculty. He asked me to give him a welcome and a handover of a donation book from Natabooks" Ajeng said, his tone sounding stiff.

Ferdian changed his posture after hearing Natabooks' name. His head rests on his hands, while he faces obliquely at his wife. His hand stroked his wife's long hair and played her a few strands.

"I trust you!" ferdian said briefly as he kissed his wife's forehead.

Ajeng's heart became relieved instantly, she kissed her husband right on her lips, making the night longer and warmer because both could no longer resist the pent-up desire.
