Perfect Duda
Wooden Boat


Binar was quite surprised by Ailee. It felt so empty when the boy no longer teased him. But it doesn't matter either, it will make Ailee more focused for her future.


"Why are you avoiding?" ask Binar. He blocked Ailee's steps when the quiet class left only the two of them.


"Isn't that what Mr. Binar wants?" Ailee reluctantly looked at Binar, she continued to avert her gaze.


"Ohh..so you're angry again?" exclaiming Binar smiled faintly. "It's like we're going out, like we are" he continued muttering.


"Ledek continues until Mr. Binar is satisfied!"


And sure enough, the man frowned at the increasingly sulky Ailee. Her face was much more adorable as it turned out when the girl sulked and was annoyed.


"Well, I'm sorry Mr. Binar?"


"Sorry is not welcome!" ailee replied as Binar used to say when he apologized.


"Oh yeah, you remember not the same boat that was on the lake? Somebody fixed it, now get around the lake by boat."


"Later in the afternoon we'll be there!" exclaimed Ailee girang, her face was no longer sour. His smile was back up.


"But I lied," continued Binar, he was satisfied to be able to lie to the girl standing in front of him. Ailee was getting annoyed, she stomped her feet and passed away leaving the man who was spinning.


...*****...


So romantic. Sitting on a motorbike that is traveling slowly. Enjoy the afternoon atmosphere is quite solid. Tired as if destroyed and replaced with a new spirit. The girl hugged the man who was riding a motorcycle. And the man did not mind when hugged tightly from behind. But he is also sometimes amused because the girl's hand is not silent, but tickles and sometimes pinches her stomach that is not too distended.


Although he was scolded by his papa for going home from school, Ailee did not come home. He stayed in the daze first, and this time he would make sure if he got home before his father arrived. The reminder alarm has been set, adjusted in such a way that past events do not recur.


"A little while, yeah? Later you will be scolded by your father again if it is too long," said Binar when they have arrived at the home. It is undeniable, Binar also gradually received the presence of Ailee. Even he felt empty if the girl did not meet him.


"Let's just relax, sir," replied Ailee, and she went to see Clarissa first. Joking with a child who has just turned one year old. Already able to walk and run small, a word sometimes sounded from his tiny mouth.


Ailee opened her bag to take out the bandana she bought yesterday specifically for Clarissa. Many bandanas, various models and colorful colors. Clarissa was happy to see it, impatient to wear it.


"Mama buyin a lot of bandanas for Clarissa, so every day can change. Here Mama put it on," cried Ailee dressed in a dark blue bandana that was in line with Clarissa's clothes at that time.


"That's really pretty mama's boy...Later if Clarissa more sinter, mama often deh love a lot of gifts..."


"Acciiikkk.." exclaimed Bu Melati representing Clarissa.


Clarissa called Ailee Mama just as she had been taught. Binar initially objected and felt bad, but Clarissa still called Ailee as her mother. And finally Binar allowed it.


"Amma mammaa..." The one-year-old prodded a book made of flannel to Ailee to show it off.


"What a lot of books, papa bought?"


The boy nodded in anxiety, Ailee immediately kissed him. Clarissa then opened one by one a book that displayed images of various animals, and showed them to Ailee.


As Binar said earlier, Ailee invited to the lake to make sure if the boat had been repaired and could be used to get around the lake. And sure enough, there are people who have used the boat. So, just wait for your turn. It's good not to play.


Binar sat down for a moment to notice the gleeful Ailee. She is afraid of losing, but she has to make Ailee stay away from her. Ailee deserves to get a man who is identical with her, not like her widower who has one child and is poor too.


There was a tightness in his heart, it could not be denied since he was close to Ailee he felt there was something else. A feeling more than a teacher towards the student appeared, he only realized it. But back again, he would never deserve to be with Ailee.


"Sir, Come!" invite Ailee to wave her hand when the boat made of wood was already stranded on the edge.


The light came from his silence. He stepped into the small boat and sat behind Ailee preparing to paddle her around the lake. The girl's hand touched the cold water, playing it occasionally. Sitting in a wooden boat is very romantic. It was just like in the drama.


"Sir, can't Ailee ask for help?" The question suddenly popped out, his cheerfulness ebbing away instantly.


"Solicit what please? As long as I can, I will help you" replied Binar.


"Please talk to me if Aiden and Ailee want to go to college here. I can't be far from Mr. Binar and Clarissa, "shy Ailee said.


Not knowing what to say, Binar pulled the boat over. It's enough to go around him, Ailee also looks satisfied. They sat on the green grass. His gaze was still fixed on a very beautiful lake.


"I want to be here with Mr. Binar. I love you, Sir. I can't be far away" said Ailee solemnly. Binar looked down, moved to hear it.


"Listen to me..." The man took a breath before continuing his words. "You love me only as your teacher, not more than that. So, you have to be good at distinguishing."


Ailee shook her head, "I love Mr. Binar more than that. I also don't know why this feeling exists and is increasing every day. This isn't just a student's love, sir. I want Mr. Binar more than a teacher, let's live together. I know that Mr. Binar loves me too."


"If your love is more than a student's love for his teacher, then stop loving me. Really, I won't be able to repay your love."


"If Mr. Binar does not love me at this time, then I will wait even though it takes a long time."


"Stop seeing me, and please lose your love. I'm sorry if I hurt you, I really don't deserve you" Binar said. He stood up and walked away. Her chest was so tight especially when she saw Ailee's tears dripping down.


"Pak Binar is well deserved!"


"Sir, please don't be like this. I really love you, don't go, sir..."


Ailee continued to chase the man who was indifferent with her until she reached the house of Binar.


"Backkk...."



"Listen to me!" shouts after stopping his steps. Ailee shuddered in horror at the making.


"I don't love you at all. Stop chasing me and get attention!"


Sort of lost his mind, Ailee tiptoed and cupped both of Binar's cheeks. He then kissed his lips making Binar glare at the impolite treatment. He tried to take off, but Ailee kept on defending.



"Now Mr. Binar knows how much my love is. And Mr. Binar must also know that this is not the love of a student for his teacher.." said Ailee when she took off her kiss.


"Please! You think I'm gonna melt? Not at all! I'm disgusted by you!" snapping Binar. He rubbed his lips that Ailee kissed and walked out of his house.


"Sir Bin..."


Ailee chased after Binar who was angry because of the sudden kiss. He felt guilty and ashamed of his unexpected behavior. He tried to hold Binar's hand but the man immediately pulled over and pushed him down. Ailee cried not to think that Binar would be that harsh on her.



"Stop following me! Please stop loving me too, I won't repay you! Pursue your ideals and follow all the wishes of your parents!"


The departure of Binar left a wound so deep. The girl sobbed at the man who continued to step without turning to face her. It hurts so much when you get such treatment from a loved one.


Tears of sadness still fell so hard. The words of Binar continued to ring. The man did not love her. He must be able to forget the love that has been in his heart for a long time, but is it possible if the love is too deep?
