CHASING THE LOVE OF THE TEACHER
The Heart of Arjuna

At 5 pm Arjuna had arrived in front of the gate of Cilla's house. Bang Toga, who knew Arjuna, opened the door.

“How are you Mr Guru ? Is there a special event today ? Tumben aja Tuan go home quickly and Den Jovan has come from 4 pm,” greet Bang Toga when Arjuna pass through the gate.

“Not om Rudi was away with Cilla ?”

“Non Cilla came home with Dirman, Sir with his own car,” sahut Bang Toga frowned.

“I go in first, Bang,” farewell Arjuna while walking towards the main door.

Arriving at the yard is seen not only the car om Rudi parked there, but there are other cars that can be ascertained Jovan's. Famous brand sedan car with license plate is only 6 months old.

Arriving at the main door, Bik Mina was waiting for Arjuna, but it was not because of a message from Cilla but information from Jovan.

Bik Mina immediately took Cilla's school bag which was carried by Arjuna.

“Cilla where, Bi ?” asked Arjuna while following Bik Mina inside through the living room.

“From above, Den. Seems to be learning,” said Bik Mina.

“Not any Jovan ?”

“Den Jovan again chat with Mister, if Non Cilla from earlier was indeed in his room.”

Somehow there is a sense of pleasure to hear Cilla in his room, not joining the ketos kepo who became his rival.

“Good afternoon, Om,” greet Arjuna who went straight to the back porch to meet the om Rudi and Jovan who are busy chatting.

“Wiihh actually came directly, Mr. Arjuna,” led Jovan while laughing.

”You guys make an agreement ?” ask Rudi while letting Arjuna sit down.

“You're up, Om,” as well as Jovan.

“Ooo don't want to study together ? Isn't it still a public replay week ?”

“You match another, Om. Om Rudi so jurinya yes,” pinta Jovan while laughing.

“What do you want to match until you need a referee ?” ask Om Rudi while laughing.

“Father so want to see me ?” cilla's voice cancelled Jovan speaking further.

Arjuna immediately smiled looking at Cilla even though the girl was looking at him flatly. It appears that the baby has just finished bathing. Her hair was still a bit wet and the smell of soap and shampoo was so sharp in Arjuna's smell

“Iya, so,” says Arjuna a little awkward.

Papi Rudi looked at his daughter's face with a frown while Jovan grinned himself at Arjuna's awkwardness.

Although sometimes still not willing to let Cilla off, but aware that Arjuna is Cilla's happiness, Jovan is heartened to provide the best support for his little friend.

“I follow dong, Sir,” Jovan who is getting ready to wake up immediately got a plot from Cilla.

Instead of being offended, Jovan laughed and sat back on his bench. Papi Rudi just nodded his head while smiling to see everything.

Cilla had already told her papa about Arjuna's anger when she found out about their play. But Cilla did not go into detail about how Arjuna said in an emotional speech last Saturday.

Papi Rudi himself handed the final decision to Cilla, willing to accept the application of Arman or even reject it. Because for Papi Rudi the most important is the happiness of Cilla.

“Dare follow-up not only do not speak nine years, but for life,” threatened Cilla with his fierce face.

“Iya..iya... Same thing you want ahemm ahemm....,” led Jovan while laughing.

“Father no need what?” cilla asked with a flat face looking at Arjuna who was sitting opposite her on the living room sofa.

“Tas you..”.

“Iya I know,” said Cilla before Arjuna could finish his call.

“Thank you for inconveniencing you to have to drive him here,” continued Cilla while holding a sofa pillow and putting it on his thigh.

Arjuna got up from his seat and moved next to Cilla. His hand was stretched out to touch Cilla's hand, but Arjuna was stunned as Cilla moved away from her reach.

“Bapak want to say what ? Don't come near. My hearing is still good enough to hear my father's voice,” said Cilla while staring at Arjuna with a flat face.

Arjuna sighed at Cilla's words that rejected him blatantly. It seems that Arjuna's attitude last Saturday hurt him a lot.

“I want to apologize. Sorry for what I said that hurt you,” said Arjuna slowly while looking at Cilla who lowered her head and focused on playing the end of the pillowcase.

“If it's just that problem, I'm sorry. Is there another matter to talk about ? I want to learn, tomorrow is still a general replay,” said Cilla without turning his head.

Arjuna sighed hearing Cilla still speak formally to him.

“Yes, I want to say that I love you, not just love you. But sorry because my love hurt your heart,” said Arjuna while looking at Cilla and smiling thinly.

“It wasn't easy for me to fall in love with someone, but once I fell in love, I realized I'd be a possessive jerk. I'm sorry.”

Their conversation came to a halt as Bik Mina brought drinks and sweets for them.

“Thank you Bi,” Arjuna said with a smile. Bik Mina nodded while smiling as well.

“For me it is not a matter of his possessiveness, but your mistrust of me. Where can build a relationship without mutual trust,” finally Cilla said one long sentence.

”I'm sorry, Cilla. When yesterday heard your explanation, I suddenly felt like a stupid man who was easily lied to by the feeling of love. And it hurts a lot because you're part of that lie. All because I love you, I love you so much. It was different with Luna. I realized it was not the love I had for her, because when she lied to me, I was disappointed and angry but not hurt until it was easy for me to forget what she had done. I used to chase him because Luna was a beautiful girl in school who became the idol of many men. As a teenager who feels he has many advantages, my ego is tempted to follow him. But that feeling went away on its own as I went on to college and parted ways away from Luna. If only Boni and Mimi hadn't encouraged me to go back after her, I wouldn't have been moved to make her my lover when we met again.”

Arjuna looked back at Cilla who was still playing the sofa pillow without looking at her.

“In these two days I tried to understand my own feelings, Cilla. I realized that you were the first girl that made me really fall in love, because being with you the first time I felt jealousy, hurt and wanted to make you just mine. Let alone Jovan or Dimas, even when Theo treated you so sweetly, my heart immediately burned with jealousy. Because I know that even if Theo falls in love with you, you can still get married because your relationship comes from the mother line. Last night just saw you sitting talking and laughing loosely with Dimas, it felt like I wanted to pull you up and yell at him that you were mine, this morning when I saw Jovan touch your hair, want me to approach you and clean the marks of his touch on your head,” Arjuna laughed bitterly at the end of his sentence.

Cilla looked up with her eyebrows. So Arjuna found out that he met Dimas last night in a poet ? Though they have chosen a place to chat far from the table that usually visited Cilla and Arjuna.

“Sorry that my love hurt you. I'm sorry that I can't control my emotions when I'm angry with you. If I am still given the opportunity to prove my love for you, I beg you to be willing to help me to become a better and worthy Arjuna for you,” Arjuna smiled faintly while looking at Cilla who was currently returning her gaze.

“I am grateful and happy because the girl you want to betroth papa is you. I felt so depressed for a week yesterday. The situation that I was facing made me seem to have no choice because papa still required me to accept the matchmaking uncontested, while my heart only loved you. Om Darmawan or om Rudi more precisely does not allow me to love you if the matchmaking is not canceled by papa's will. Sorry Cilla, I'm sorry for venting my distress on you.”

Cilla looked the other way, unable to ignore Arjuna's sad look. His love for Arjuna is not just the love of a schoolboy monkey.

But Cilla does not want to look easy to forgive Arjuna's treatment so that in the future, Arjuna can better control his emotions. Not easy to explode and say sorry for a moment.

“I want to concentrate first with a general retort, sir. Maybe it's time for us to convince ourselves of how we feel about each other. Thank you for your honesty Mr. Arjuna today.”

Cilla tried to hold back her smile and spoke with a flat face in front of Arjuna.

It felt like he wanted to throw himself into Arjuna's arms when he found out that the man also loved him very much.

“Thank you because you still want to listen to my explanation. I'll prove that I really love you. I won't let my beloved duckling move to another pool other than my heart pool.”

Cilla got up and put down the sofa cushion with her face turned the other way. His mouth was already itching to reply Arjuna. Not to mention refraining from chuckling when hearing Arjuna's last sentence which was more like a rumble.

Perhaps in the midst of their serious conversation, Arjuna issued a dreadful seduction that sounded alay and lebay.

How can Cilla move to another pool, if his can already give him comfort and coolness.
