Aksara For Arsyilla
The Unapproximate Event
Leaving the euphoria of Aksara's graduation from her script exam, Arsyilla had to return to teaching and guiding students to work on her script. Until one day, Arsyilla was called by the Disciplinary Commission of the Faculty of Architectural Engineering who suddenly asked her to face. Honestly, Arsyilla looked confused. There is something going on, until he is asked to face the Disciplinary Commission.
After teaching that afternoon, Arsyilla immediately headed to the Disciplinary Commission. Meet Mr. Sutoyo who served as the Disciplinary Commission of the Faculty of Architectural Engineering.
“Good afternoon Sir,” greet Arsyilla as soon as he entered the Senate room and slightly bowed his body.
“Ya, Ms. Arsyilla .. please sit down first,” said Mr. Sutoyo.
Arsyilla sat down and waited for Mr. Sutoyo, wondering what he really wanted to talk about and asking him to face.
Finally, Mr. Sutoyo sat on the sofa with a brown envelope in his hand.
“Begini Bu Arsyilla .. does Bu Arsyilla have a personal relationship with students here?” ask Mr. Sutoyo.
Hearing the question from Mr. Sutoyo, Arsyilla guessed that something must be wrong here and it must be related to his personal relationship with Aksara.
“Can be explained in more detail, Sir,” response Arsyilla this time.
Although Arsyilla knows where the direction of the meeting and discussion this afternoon, but Arsyilla wants Pak Sutoyo to tell him in detail and not a piece.
The middle-aged man then took out some photos he had received from the envelope, then handed them to Arsyilla. It does not show the face of the man. Even her male face was blurred .. but Arsyilla's face was clearly visible there. There was even a photo, as the two were about to enter the apartment together.
Seeing those photos must have been an unpleasant feeling that haunted Arsyilla this time. He had already figured out the answer there was definitely only one problem and that was related to his relationship with Aksara.
“We received a canned letter meaning an anonymous letter and photos of Ms. Arsyilla with the man who allegedly was one of the students in the Faculty of Architectural Engineering. So, is it true that Ms Arsyilla is in a personal relationship with a student?” ask Mr. Sutoyo.
Finally, Arsyilla let out a long sigh and spoke, “True Sir,”.
Hearing Arsyilla's reply, Mr. Sutoyo looked shocked. Did not expect if one of his lecturers turned out to have established a personal relationship with his own students.
“Dating?” ask Mr. Sutoyo.
Arsyilla seemed to want to tell her true status with Aksara, but Pak Sutoyo spoke again this time.
“Bu Arsyilla, as a lecturer of course Bu Arsyilla knows it is a regulation called the Code of Ethics that regulates the relationship of Lecturers and students. If, the Lecturer is in a relationship with his students, it can be ascertained that the assessment will be subjective. Cannot provide objective value because it involves feelings. What is the name of the student?” ask Mr. Sutoyo.
But Arsyilla did not want to reveal the identity of the student. Let him this time bear it.
“Allow me to speak Sir .. yes, I admit that I am in a relationship with a student. But we are not just dating. More precisely, we are married ... Our marriage has been running for almost a year,” said Arsyilla honestly.
Hearing that in fact Arsyilla was married, Mr. Sutoyo was increasingly wondering what really happened.
“At that time our wedding was held on a limited basis, Mr. .. I will only report after the end of graduation later by holding our wedding party together,” explained Arsyilla.
Arsyilla paused her remarks, and now she is back talking, “I'm sorry for my mistake this time ..but, regarding my relationship with her we are a legitimate couple. And also, I don't teach in his class this semester. Even I also blatantly refuse to be her Instructor, I make sure not to get involved with her,” explained Arsyilla.
“How about last semester?” ask Mr. Sutoyo again.
“We met in one class, it was not accidentally because we both knew after the first meeting in the class at that time. However, I can also make sure that all my values are objective. I did not involve my feelings to assess the results of quizzes and student semesters,” replied Arsyilla.
Mr. Sutoyo then considered related to everything that Arsyilla said. Finally, Sutoyo spoke again.
“Bu Arsyilla certainly know, if there are students who cheat and supported lecturers in the task can finally be dismissed and cannot follow graduation. So ...”
Before Mr. Sutoyo continued his remarks, Arsyilla in fact first spoke, “I will be in charge, Mr... I will resign as a Lecturer at this campus,” replied Arsyilla.
“Not so Bu Arsyilla, but students can get disciplinary punishment points,” said Mr. Sutoyo.
“I feel that the student is completely innocent Mr... I am guilty of falling in love and finally marrying my own Lecturer. Therefore, I will be responsible and I will resign as a Lecturer at this campus,” said Arsyilla again with confidence.
Being a Lecturer is indeed his dream and ideals, but Arsyilla is willing to let go of all that as long as Aksara can graduate this year. Moreover, her husband had just passed the thesis exam and was happy because after six years of college, then her husband could pass. Arsyilla will not sacrifice the happiness of her husband. Let yourself sacrifice.
Hearing Arsyilla's reply that seemed to be adamant, Mr. Sutoyo finally nodded his head, “Alright Bu Arsyilla ... for the resignation of Bu Arsyilla please provide a resignation letter and the campus will process it. However, I ask that Bu Arsyilla can finish until the end of this semester first,” explained Mr. Sutoyo.
Arsyilla nodded her head and bailed out of the room. He does not want to defend himself, and he will bear the biggest consequences for having a relationship with his students. After all, Arsyilla had not used her authority and position during her marriage to Aksara. If someone has to sacrifice this time, let him sacrifice himself.
I will not destroy your dreams and happiness, Sister …
Let me take off my profession this time …
The love of lecturers and students is strange, not as beautiful as in novels or romance series …
When the code of conduct and the disciplinary commission speak, it is appropriate to accept it …
You must graduate and graduate, Kak Aksara …
I will bear all this and let this be proof that my feelings do not change when I lose this noble profession …
Arsyilla walked with gontai back to her room. Never thought his career as a Lecturer was only so far away. Hopefully his decision this time is right. For Arsyilla, the success of Aksara in the field of education this time is a priority for him.
