My student's my future husband?
Episode 8

The streets are still filled with non-Bandung vehicles. They filled the parking lot of both outlets, souvenir centers, and places to eat. It is common for this to happen in Kembang City

We both talked in the car.

"Eh, Ferdian, do you think we should announce our wedding later on campus?" ask me in between the traffic jam.

"Just inform? I mean no invitation for them?" tanyanya looks at me.

"Yes! Honestly, if I myself do not want to preach this marriage to especially the friends of lecturers and staff on campus. Let our relationship be secret. That will be fun (this will be fun)!" I said.

Ferdian. Then his eyes glanced to the right.

"May also. But if there's an issue or rumor about us how is it?" tanyanya seriously.

"Maybe it's time we straighten out the issue. Let in the end, everyone will not misunderstand again," I said.

"Hmm.. okay! But as long as it is maintained a relationship with others," he said while stepping on the accelerator, seeing the car in front of him already running.

"You mean?" my question does not understand.

"I mean, we have to keep our distance from the opposite sex when we get married. Although this relationship we hide, surely many people who do think we are still single, as now. Not impossible, one day we become the target of 'shoot' someone," he said. His eyes looked ahead watching the road.

I chuckled small. This guy is sweet too.

"Why laugh?" tanyanya.

"No really! You're funny" I said with a laugh.

"Funny how?" the question did not understand, it looked rather groggy.

"Funny if it's serious. Yes, I understand! So we kept this relationship a secret while on campus, deal?"

"Okay, deal!" He said he glanced at me.

\=\=\=

We have arrived at a cafe in Punclut, Dago, Bandung. It's pretty cold. Although many luxury homes in this area, but the trees still grow towering.

Ferdian took me to an industrial-style cafe. Brick patterns, wood & iron accents, as well as high wide glass dominate the design. The atmosphere of the cafe was not too crowded that afternoon. Many tables are filled by young people, some are in groups, some are paired like us.

We chose a table with comfortable wooden chairs under a lush tree. Yes, this cafe adopts the concept of outdoor and indoor at once. In addition to the cafe, it turns out there is also a fashion distro of men and women. Pretty interesting.

Again, today my diet will fail. I ordered a typical Italian pizza menu and a glass of chocolate milkshake. I can share the menu with Ferdian. While Ferdian chose the dessert menu pannacota for both of us and a glass of frappucino.

"You play here a lot?" ask me after giving the order to the waitress.

"Sometimes, if you want to hang out again," he replied, linking his fingers to each other.

"Oh yeah, who's close to you on campus anyway?" I'm really curious about this.

"Near victory? An ordinary temen or a temen who likes to share?" ask again.

"Yes, you could say, a true friend, hehe" I said

"If you are close friends are actually many, but if his best friend is only Ridho aja," he replied.

A waiter brought us two drinks of our order shortly afterwards. I sipped my milkshake. Hmm.. very delicious.

"Riddho? That guy's kind of fat isn't he?" I asked to make sure, as I remembered Ridho in the Ferdian class, his physique was like that.

"Yes right, he's the only one I can share my story with. He also knows what this matchmaking is," he said casually as he stirred his drink.

"Really?!"

Ferdian nodded, "Look, he's a trusted man!"

"Okay!" I said nod.

"Ridho is a rich brother to me. We have been together since childhood. He's Mr. Joseph's son, the father's mainstay driver from a long time ago. Be that we always play and learn together" the story goes.

"Ooh that! So I can dig up information about you into him?"

"Why not go straight to me?" tanyanya.

"I want to see your personality from someone else's point of view, right?" ask me while stirring the milkshake.

"Oh that! Yes, I can" he said briefly.

Soon, pizza and pannacota arrived. Looks very tempting. Pizza slices with mushroom toppings and beef as well as parmesan cheese are so tempting. The money instantly made the stomach rumble. I immediately took a slice of pizza without keeping the image, because my stomach was very hungry. So did the guy who took the pizza cut after my turn.

"Princess! Have you taken care of the files for KUA?" he asked, that call actually made me rather amused.

"Monday I want to take care of it, because Monday I have no teaching schedule! You alone?"

"I'm done with it!" he answered while eating pizza.

"Can't you?" I don't believe it.

"I'm with Mr. Yusuf. My college schedule is solid. So definitely won't be able to manage the file."

"Wuih, good!" My word.

"So I can't wait to spend a day H," relaxed once said that.

"Why do we want to spend money? Hmm.. suspicious!" I said while squinting and pointing my fingers at his face.

Suddenly his white face flushed, blushing. He threw his face in the other direction.

"E..e...no!" he said groggy while rubbing his back neck.

I laughed out loud, after holding back the laughter as hard as I could.

"Oh Gunawan's son is an adult, right?! Whereas in the past, I was still inget, I once gave you candy and chubby cheek pinches you tuh," my story remembers my childhood.

"Is she?" tanyanya could not believe it, she covered half her face from below.

"Yes, it was my 7th birthday party if it wasn't wrong! You cry on, given a balloon with my mama, not working. I give you the circular candy and just shut up. Because of the anxiety, I pinched your puffed cheeks! Cry again!" I said as I picked up the umpteenth slice of pizza.

"Oh yeah?"

"Now don't you have a puff on her cheek?" I stared at him. My hand held my chin.

"Oh so if it's an adult, the cheeks are gone huh? So it's that big?" my many.

"It will be my turn to pinch you?!" he said he didn't want to lose.

"Can!" challenged answer.

Ferdian threw his face back. I don't know what he had in mind, to the point of making his ears red.

I held back the laughter. Oh, my God, that's so funny this kid.

"Ehem, I'm going to the toilet first, okay?!" he stood up from his chair.

"Don't be long, I still need you here" my god.

He shook his head, and I heard him coughing a few times. I'm sure he also held back the laughter until he choked. It's so fun to mark this student.

Oh my God, I crossed the line. I should be able to keep the image in front of him. It could be destroyed my reputation as a lecturer on campus. I tried to calm myself down by drinking my chocolate milkshake. I saw Ferdian's phone he put on the table ringing. I looked at who the person who contacted him.

It looks like a young woman. Sally's name is on the screen. Oh, it turns out his classmate. What's he calling Ferdian about?

The blue-tiered guy is back. It looks like he washed his face. She walks in her cool-looking style, really a model. I saw how many women in the cafe were watching him and noisily whispering to his friend.

"Kok wash your face?" manya curious.

"Sunny!" answer's short.

I feel like laughing again. But I'm trying to hold him.

"There has to be a phone" I told him as I bribed a spoonful of soft strawberry pannacotta directly smeared on the tongue.

"Oh yeah?" he checked his phone screen.

"Yes, a few times!" i said again.

Ferdian put his phone back on and drank his frappucino.

"I'm sorry, my candlestick was too rich!" my spoken.

"Nothing, just consider it a practice!" said stiff.

"You mad?" ask me to make sure she doesn't feel upset with me.

"No! Just a little embarrassed, it turns out my favorite lecturer is nosy," he said, his face grumbled.

"So sorry!"

Suddenly his phone rang again. Ferdian just looked at her, without lifting her up.

"Why not get lifted? Who knows it's important" said I who was still busy spending the pannacotta.

Ferdian looked at me for a moment, then took his phone. He picked up his phone.

"Hello?" said it.

Sorry, I'd love to listen to their conversation, but Ferdian didn't get out of his seat anyway. The voice on the other side was somewhat audible despite the faint-sayup.

"Hello, Ferdian! You want me to walk tonight, don't you?" A cry, sounded a bit spoiled.

"Sorry, I can't!"

"Yeah, why? Though I want to make sure you watch thriller movie, that's your favorite right?"

"If nothing matters, don't call me!"

Ferdian hung up.

Turns out, sharp is also the tongue of this guy. I didn't know she'd be that cold in response from her girl friend. I pretended not to listen and continued to enjoy the unfinished pizza. He seems to have turned off his phone.

"Ferdian, can we talk about something serious?" after finishing the pizza. I wiped my hands with a tissue and drank a glass of water

"What's wrong?"

"Umm, this is about my career!" I said.

"Is there a problem with your career?" tanyanya still did not understand.

"No. It's just that when you get married later, do you still allow me to work as a lecturer?" many doubt.

His face was down, his eyes were glancing right.

"Actually, I don't have a problem if you still want a career. I know, this job is your goal. I'm not going to have a problem with that. It's just another case if later, ..." his words were cut off.

"If later....?"

"If we have children later" he continued, making my heart tremble suddenly. "When you have a child, what do you think?" he asked back.

"That's what I was thinking! Is it better for now we delay having a baby first?" many doubt.

I don't know if he can catch what I mean or not. I'll hear his opinion first.

Ferdian muttering.

"I haven't thought much there actually. Because I am still in college, you are also just starting your dream career. I think it's a reasonable decision for now" he said.

Thank God! He knows what I want. Looks like my eyes this time are sparkling staring at him just like a cute kid.

Ferdian threw away his face. Blushing again and again. I want to hug her and say thank you very much. But I was still self-conscious, so I just held my hand.

"Thank you so much, Ferdian!" sincerely said.

He just smiled broadly with his sparkling eyes. It's a lovely day.
