The delivery of Tomi who seemed to be giving Asti a lesson, made asti more furious and misbehaved.
“Do not lecture me!” Asti cuts with increasingly red cheeks. How beautiful, thought Tomi.
“I don't dare. I just want to say something of the fact, that due to the obsession that annoys the Mother then considers herself so low... or even there is guilt... because it has let my Mother's hand hold it earlier!”.
Feeling pressured and cornered like that, Asti was unable to hold herself back any longer.
His irritation and anger towards Tomi as well as towards himself exploded.
His hand just floated up and slapped the cheek of the man standing close to him.
Tomi thought about that. He was silent even though his cheek that hit Asti slap was hot and reddish.
Her eyes towards the girl remained shady and her facial water implied a real sense.
Asti himself felt shocked that in that outburst of anger he could lose control of himself.
It was the first time it happened. That's why he feels sorry.
“Sorry..” he said stammering.
“Sa…. I lost control in.... myself!”
Tom nodded his head in sympathy.
“I know,” sahut. “if slapping my cheek can relax Mom's anger, please slap my cheek again. I am willing!”
“No...” Asti shakes her head while biting her quivering lips. Seemed how his efforts so as not to let his tears color their conversation.
“It's not my habit to be rude like that. Only once here I am…. I slapped people's cheeks!”
“I know...!” Tomi looked at Asti's wet eyes with all her understanding.
Finally Asti was no longer able to hold back the tears that had been held back by him. Seeing that, Tomi who had also been trying half-dead so that her desire to embrace the girl was detained, had a failure.
His brain was no longer able to talk. What worked more was his emotional drive that worked stronger than his brain.
So, Asti's body that stood not far from his place was grabbed into his arms.
When tears and feelings work more than the brain of a person who is getting weaker in strength, then everything becomes as if it has been regulated by other impulses that are less rational in nature.
And that's why when Asti feels that there are strong arms that embrace it and there is a chest of fields that can be backed from his head, the need for security is like getting his place.
His head was placed on Tomi's shoulder, which immediately embraced and stroked her hair. Even as Asti's cries subsided, the man distanced the girl's head and then raised his chin.
“Already,” friendly whispers. “For what to shed tears? Let the water flow into the sea. Let life take place in the providence of the Almighty.
And for that Bu Asti must feel guilty just for letting one of his students hold Mom's hand!”
Asti's lips are open.
Her eyes were staring at Tomi's eyes. Meanwhile, her wet eyelashes look flickering overshadowed her beautiful eyeballs.
“But... it should not happen..” sahut later.
“I told you earlier!”
“That is if my actions were just a fad or with the aim of playing with the authority of my lecturer!”
Tomi replied firmly although her voice still sounded soft.
“I'm not a brash guy or anything like that, Mom."
"Although I knew that Mom had more negative judgments about me, I also knew that she must have had the confidence that I wasn't too bad. That's right, Miss Asti ."
"I'm not too bad as it looks. I, though, can have such a wonderful feeling, Mom."
"That feeling is what underlies my seemingly insolent behavior towards Mother if it is reviewed from my level as a student and Bu Asti as my lecturer."
Then I will dare to say something true, I…. Loving Mom!.”
Asti felt his head hover somewhere during Tomi's talk.
And in the end when Tomi finished her string of words, she was shocked to hear the man's declaration of love towards her. Unknowingly, his eyes were slashed.
Seeing that, Tomi really only thought of one kind. And that's what then prompted him to grab Asti back and then kiss the girl's lips.
Asti did not expect to get such treatment. But he couldn't think about it. For all his thoughts, feelings and body were centered only on Tomi's kiss.
So lost Asti that he not only allowed the friendly treatment but also unconsciously returned it. Same warm and same mess.
As a result, Tomi's courage and spirit increased. Her hands tightly hugged Asti's neck and kissed not only the girl's lips but also her closed and still wet eyes, then her chin, the sides of her face and finally her neck.
The two of them would not have stopped had their ears not been startled by the ringing sound of the guest bell.
Asti, who was conscious first, immediately distanced her body from Tomi's embrace.
“There... Guest..” whispered with a trembling voice.
His face was red. Without daring to stare at Tomi, the girl immediately tidied up her tangled blouse. He felt so ashamed.
“Ya...” Tomi cheeks have also become red. But not because of embarrassment, but because it feels proud and happy that it turns out reaching Asti is not as difficult as he imagined.
Seeing that Asti was tidy again and began to step out, Tomi who felt bad in the family house that he did not know was quick to take the tray containing two glasses of syrup that he made earlier.
Then the jar of beans that became messy because of the incident that had just happened in the kitchen earlier, closed carefully.
And then with a reverent attitude, Tomi smiled thanks to the beans finally he could be close to the Lecturer, the jar was lifted and placed on the tray which he then carried out, following Asti.
Meanwhile Asti who rushed forward, suddenly stopped her footsteps to see who the guest who pressed the bell was. Because that guest is Mr Eko!
“Good evening, Dik Asti!” Mr. Eko smiled happily. Very happy for him, his presence to this house was not in vain as usual.
“Oh, good evening Mas Eko.” Asti greeted the greeting nervously. Her chest was still trembling by Tomi's treatment and her lips were still hotly frowned upon by the man.
“Please sit.”
“Is my arrival unobtrusive, Dik Asti?” Mr. Eko asked carefully, still standing.
“No, mas. Let's please come in!”
“I chose to sit on the terrace only Dik. Fresh air!” Mr. Eko chose to sit on the terrace.
“Please..” Asti still has not lost his nervousness. Everything in nature is shocking and unexpected.
And it was hard for him to tell what feelings that moment dominated his feelings the most.
Only one thing is certain, namely his worry that is very thick in case Mr. Eko has suspicions that something has happened between him and his students.
Mr. Eko noticed the pile of books on the terrace table in front of him. His forehead is a bit wrinkled.
“Dik Asti is busy with these books apparently!” said later.
“Not, Mas. This is Tomi's book..”
“Tomi that psychology student, Dik?”
“Iya.
He I gave the task of making a paper because in the next half semester he could not follow the lecture”.
“Oh, so the car in front is hers, apparently!” muttered Mr. Eko with a little disappointment grew angry. “Befit, I don't feel unfamiliar seeing that car. Now, where is the guy, brother?
Tomi who had been waiting inside stood up while listening and meeking, Asti and Pak Eko were talking again.
