CHASING THE LOVE OF THE TEACHER
Not the End of Everything

Papi still has not shown signs of improving, even several emergency calls due to the sudden papi drop.

Not only the Arjuna and Cilla families who came to provide support especially for Cilla, the friends of Cilla and Arjuna also came even though they could not swipe papi directly. There are Tino, Luki, Erwin, Boni and Mimi who come in addition to Cilla's three best friends. Dono couldn't come because his son had a fever after the vaccine.

Around 5pm the nurse standing guard inside the ICU room asked Cilla and Arjuna to come in and see Papi.

“Papi, this is Cilla same Mas Juna,” Cilla whispered while sitting on the side of the bed papi together with Arjuna.

“Cilla is very dear to the papi, want papi healed so that he can accompany Cilla when she graduated later, can join her and play with the children of Cilla and Mas Juna, and,” Cilla's voice was getting choked because her tears began to flow and began to sob.

Arjuna embraces Cilla's shoulder, giving strength to his wife.

“But Cilla also knew that papi loved mami very much and always wanted to be together mami again for almost thirteen years. Cilla would be happy if papi was happy too. No need to worry about Cilla because now there is Mas Juna, there is papa and mama, even Cilla is also loved by a sister like Amanda. Not to mention aunt Siska, om Rio and brother Theo. Cilla is not afraid to be alone anymore, Papi.”

Cilla was sobbing making Arjuna who also felt the sadness of his wife felt his eyes also glazed.

“But don't worry about Cilla. Juna will definitely love and take care of Cilla because Cilla is not just Juna's wife, but half Juna's life. As long as God is still giving life, as long as Juna will love and take care of Cilla with all that Juna has,” Arjuna comes along to talk while Cilla is sobbing. A round of tears began to trickle down Arjuna's cheeks.

“Cilla and Mas Juna apologize if any mistakes ever hurt papi. We are sincere if papi wants to meet and unite again with mami.”

Cilla grasped a papi fingers that were no longer cold like yesterday afternoon. Slowly her sobs began to subside and all prayers were said only in Cilla's heart.

Arjuna took the tissue nearby and rubbed the tears coming out of the two corners of the papi eye.

Cilla blinked, trying to resist the sadness that continued to spread in her heart.

The sound of papi's heartbeat began to be irregular again until the nurse asked Arjuna and Cilla to come out while they would check the condition of the papi.

Cilla was still standing in front of the door of the ICU room. Papa and Mama just came out of the room that Cilla and Arjuna used to sleep in last night.

“Yang strong dear,” mama Diva directly hugged Cilla while rubbing her daughter-in-law's back.

Cilla still shed tears even without a sob. Not long aunt Siska and om Rio come closer trying to strengthen Cilla and Arjuna.

Not long after the doctor Handoyo out of the elevator directly to the ICU room without greeting anyone, followed by the doctor Raymond who came five minutes later, following the doctor Handoyo into the ICU room.

“Honey,” Arjuna approached Cilla and immediately hugged his wife who was still crying.

Cilla hugged Arjuna back and leaned her head on Arjuna's chest. Papa signals Arjuna to take Cilla to sit nearby but she refuses.

After waiting for 30 minutes, Dr. Raymond left with Dr. Handoyo.

“Sorry, we've tried our best, ” said Dr Raymond with a sad face.

Arjuna tightened his arms and began to shed tears from both corners of his eyes.

“That's sincere, dear,” whispered Arjuna gently in Cilla's ear. The girl nodded with her face still attached to Arjuna's chest.

Mama Diva and Aunt Siska hugged each other and cried bitterly.

“Papi is not in pain anymore Mas Juna,” said Cilla with his head looking up at Arjuna and trying to smile.

“Yes, God loves the same papi so called home so as not to feel pain again,” said Arjuna while rubbing Cilla's wet face.

Unasked, Arjuna and Cilla's friends immediately shared the task and relayed the sad news to their acquaintances and friends.

Cilla was still standing in front of the tomb of papi who finally shared with mami in one burrow. It was also at Papi's request during his last conversation with Cilla in the hospital garden.

“We go home yuk, it looks like it will soon rain,” invite Arjuna to embrace Cilla's shoulder.

“Iya, come on,” Cilla nodded and smiled at a glance looking at Arjuna.

“Cilla same Mas Juna go home first, Pi, Mi. Cilla believes that papi and mami will definitely be happy because they can be together again. Love papi and mami will always stay in Cilla's heart,” said Cilla slowly while holding a papi tombstone.

Cilla clasped Arjuna's fingers tightly, leading him back to the car.

Papa, mama, Amanda, om Rio, aunt Siska and Theo are already waiting in their respective cars while Cilla and Arjuna board the car brought by Bang Dirman.

All the friends of Cilla and Arjuna also participated in the accompaniment back to the house of Papi Rudi.

Apparently mama Diva has ordered food in her subscription catering because once she arrived at the papi house, it has been presented with a complete food menu with dessert.

”Better Cilla same Arjuna stay at home papa mama first,” said aunt Siska when gathered in the living room while enjoying lunch.

Arjuna and his companions chose to talk on the back porch.

“Iya, so if fitting Juna to the office, Cilla is not lonely,” timpal mama Diva.

“Bby Cilla stay this week first here, Ma ? The plan is Cilla want to clean the papi room, mumpung there is also Mr. Trimo here who can help Cilla. If it is done, Cilla promises to go where Mas Juna wants to invite Cilla to stay.”

“Yes already, you talk about Arjuna how good it is. Whenever you want to go home, papa and mama will be happy to accept kaliah,” said papa Arman mediate.

After lunch, Cilla invited her three best friends to sit by the pool while Arjuna drove Dono and Pius apart first.

“Now I am an orphan really,” said Cilla while laughing bitterly.

“Don't do dong, baby,” Lili directly embrace her best friend. “If elo play to home is bo-nyok I always consider elo kayak his own son.”

“If I were them like I'd ask that question, Van. Elo it's a real biological child do not-don't taker fit in the hospital,” ledek Febi with a mocking smile.

“Eh si**lan lo ! No worries my handsome eleven twelve equal bokap ?”

“By bokap elo everywhere, Van,” led Lili while splashing. “Udah is more established and kalem.”

“Dih pelakor seed base !” jovan grumbled with a stale face.

“Cilla, the elo still has a good papa and mama-in-law,” said Febi. “See if they treat you like Amanda.”

“Duh yes, elo say my name, just remember, where the child,” said Jovan circulated his view.

“There search first. Stabbed with his friend Pak Juna just knew the taste of lo!” Lili flicked her hand telling Jovan to go find Amanda.

“My ugly-ugly doain,” Jovan grumbled while glaring at Lili who even sneered back at Jovan's nagging.

Jovan passes into the house through the kitchen door looking for Amanda while Cilla, Febi and Lili are still chatting near the pool.

“The world of elo is only slightly changed in the absence of bokap. Didn't you feel like a child without a parent for nine years ? At least when the bokap want to be close and go through difficult times because of the pain, elo is for bokap, accompany him, become the favorite child he always misses.”

“Iya I also feel very happy, Feb. Although it is too short but the meaning is very deep,” said Cilla.

“Lagian nih ya, Cil, elo tuh there is a husband now, a friend for life elo if until you do not decide to split.”

“Lili !” reprimand Febi while glaring. “Start elo talk control, deh ! I'm more mature, do not like the original nyeplos. Do you not remember the word parents if the speech is the same as prayer ?”

”Sorry, sorry,” Lili clenched both hands. “Gue does not mean that.”

“Intinya, elo it is not alone,” stressed Febi.

“As we grow older, the husband is no less important than a parent. Elo know, when married the responsibility of parents to their daughters will be taken over by the husband. Marriage makes two people one, I plus you we. In fact, according to the belief that the woman was created from the ribs of a man not from the tip of the foot or head, so that she is always beside him, to be a suitable life companion for him,” said Lili.

“It turns out elo can issue words of wisdom too, yes,” Cilla said while chuckling.

“Elo both who like nethink the same I so can not see the beautiful words of every greeting I,” said Lili with a pongah face.

“Dih, just praised a little already songong !” cebik Febi's.

“Maklum was chatting with Dimas for a long time, make his soul tempted to put out the words of pearl,” Cilla ledek.

“Udah penitent, Cil,” sahut Lili while putting on a sad face. “Ngak bad also be a girl who pursues guys, want also I digerasain chased guys. So I have already mutusin will not consider a guy who has been given a code but still jaim aja.”

“Dimas is not jaim, Li, but he is stiff and tends to be inferior. He was an orphan and even became a street child. If I think, Dimas was afraid to make a girl as level as Elo, Li. At least the elo from the family is capable, while Dimas has to fight desperately for life. Not to mention his sister Tami still needs attention and support from him because of his physical condition. If you like Dimas, do not stop deketin him but do not be aggressive. Make him sure that elo does accept him as he is,” advice Cilla.

”Elo sure you first yourself, can not stop whining having to go abroad every holiday,” Febi quipped.

“Iihh you two are talking about me and Dimas ? My goal is the same Febi here to entertain you, Cil. My same problem Dimas can still be discussed tomorrow-tomorrow.”

“It seems that if you are serious, helping elo PDKT the same Dimas will be a fun and entertaining new activity,” said Cilla with a big smile.

“Cilla.. Focus.. focus back to laptop. Today's theme is elo, don't deviate to my love problem !” Lili left her waist while staring at Cilla fiercely. Cilla laughed and Febi shook her head.

“Yes, yes mami Lili. The name of the loss has certainly created sadness, but I really have sincerely released papi so that I can meet mami again. And I am sure that papi even sad if I continue to dissolve in the atmosphere of grief.

Like you said, Li. I have Mas Juna as my husband. My life can't stop let alone end with papi's departure. I have to be excited again because there is Mas Juna, an important person who is now half my breath.”

“So remember yes, it is not important that the status of elo is now an orphan,” stressed Lili.

“Iya mami Lili,” said Cilla while smiling widely. Cilla's hands stretched out, making Lili and Febi come closer and the three embraced each other.

“Thank you bestie. Thank you for always being there for me and being a best friend.”

“Aahhh co cweett,” says Lili.

“By following the dong of dearest concubines,” Jovan approached the three friends with Amanda.

“No can !” a firm voice from behind Amanda made Jovan stop her steps and turn around while grinning the horse.

“Rasain lo her handler Cilla came !” ledek Febi's.

“Since when did my wife you make concubine ?” arjuna's fierce gaze made Jovan immediately rub his neck while Amanda, Cilla, Lili and Febi immediately laughed.

“It's customary sir, on campus too. Until Cilla thinks Jovan's girlfriend is the same senior,” chirped Lili.

“Senior who ? Hans it ?” arjuna asked with narrowed eyes looking at Lili.

“Kok Pak Juna knows Hans as well?” Febi frowned.

“You yes !” Arjuna pointed at Jovan. “I ask you to go to campus to ngawasin Cilla from the ignorant crocodiles. Instead of taking care of my wife even make people wrong, think you're her boyfriend my wife !”

“Loh so Jovan to campus because told to be with Mas Juna ?” Cilla approached Arjuna and looked at her husband with a peeking look.

Arjuna immediately grinned and nervously asked so by Cilla who is still now starting to smile eerily looking at Arjuna.

“Not so did Mas Juna,” said Arjuna trying to be ordinary. “Prevention efforts only.”

Cila just silently stared intently at Arjuna with both hands folded in front of his chest, making the others instantly open.
