Aksara For Arsyilla
The Hiatus Student
The smile on Arsyilla's face slowly faded, the sweat unwittingly drenching her forehead just like that. Arsyilla immediately turned her body and removed the white board with scribbles from the boardmaker behind her while closing her eyes.
“Yes God, why is he here? I hope, I saw the wrong God ...,” his inner heart while removing the whiteboard clean.
Until finally, Arsyilla turned back and looked back at the students who were sitting in front of her.
“Good afternoon everyone .. This is our second meeting in the Architecture Planning class yes ..” say again to all students who approximately totaled 45 people in the class.
“Ya Bu ..” the students also answered simultaneously.
Trying to ignore and focus on delivering the learning material this time, Arsyilla then nodded, “Alright .. we will continue our material yes,” he said.
However, there is a student who is the Class Chairperson of the class who seems to raise his hand, “Excuse me Bu,” said the Class Chair known as Ryan.
Arsyilla nodded, “Ya .. What's up Ryan,” said Arsyilla.
“There are new students in our class, Bu.” interrupts it to Arsyilla.
It wasn't that he didn't realize, it was just that Arsyilla was trying to avoid. Unfortunately, it was Ryan the Class Chair who interrupted and told him that there were new students in the class. Wanting to close his eyes again certainly can't. Arsyilla nodded clumsily, then she smiled even though it was a bland smile.
“Oh, yes? Where's the new student? Can get acquainted with all students here.” he said which is definitely just a formality. The woman who worked as a Lecturer nodded and then her eyes glanced at the figure of the man sitting in the back seat.
Because Arsyilla knows very well, who is a foreign figure in his class.
“Sials. This time also my efforts to avoid it in vain.” It was as if Arsyilla was cursing herself. This morning he came out of the house and set foot on this campus by cultivating his near-exhaustible spirit, and this time he had to swallow the bitter reality of being unexpectedly, because, he met the man again.
Slowly, the figure who was touted as a new student also stood up and introduced himself.
“Siang all ... introduce my name Aksara. I went on hiatus for 4 semesters and returned again in this semester.” his introduction to everyone who was in that class.
However, apparently the man's eyes only looked at the Lecturer who was standing in front of the class with a distance of several meters in front of him. Yes, Aksara apparently became one of the students of Architectural Engineering and currently he is a student taught by Arsyilla.
“Why go on hiatus?” this time it was Ryan the Class Leader who asked Aksara.
Indeed Aksara once passed High School, with a high National Exam value, his father encouraged him to choose the Faculty of Medicine in the hope that there will be his son who continued the ideals of the Papa became a Doctor. Unfortunately, Aksara gave up in Semester 4. Then, the man again tried to register in Architectural Engineering in hopes of helping the company now managed by his mother, Jaya Corp, a construction company and engaged in the field of Real Estate, unfortunately in Semester 6, he said, he chose leave because he also felt he did not have a passion in the field of Architecture and Development. After working in the field, Aksara was finally able to find his passion and he wanted to complete his studies that had been on hiatus for 4 semesters.
“How much time?” chirp a student who seemed to smile flirtatiously to Aksara.
“29 years.” answered spontaneously.
“Status-status?” ask the other students.
This time Aksara stared at the face that stood a few meters in front of him that, “Akan got married ... soon,” he replied calmly and filled with confidence.
While a few meters ahead, Arsyilla seemed to be mourning her unlucky day this time. If there was one person who wanted to forget, it was definitely that man. Unfortunately, the Owner of the Universe in fact still reunited him with the man named Aksara once again. Now, he had to be willing to repeatedly meet a face that he hated so much.
“After 29 years still a student. Huhffh.” Arsyilla muttered inwardly, not expecting that she would teach a student who was older than her. For Arsyilla, the age of 29 years is a mature age for a man even not infrequently the men will let go of his bachelor.
But in front of him was a man who was 29 years old and still a student. Neutralizing her own heart, Arsyilla then returned to deliver the material to the students. Try to be professional and as if not disturbed by two eyeballs that seem to highlight every movement and speech.
Another with Arsyilla, apparently Aksara actually smiled, the man actually wrote the name of the Lecturer in an agenda book that he brought just a sweetener, only, though the man himself is actually reluctant to take notes in the book. Instead of being tired of holding a pen, Aksara prefers to type with his laptop. But something amazing happened that day. The man carved a smile and wrote a name on his agenda.
“Arsyilla Kirana ..”
“Beautiful name .. her face is also beautiful,” her murmur scratches ink inside her agenda that.
It doesn't feel like 120 minutes already, college time is over. Students began to leave the classroom one by one. While Arsyilla still tidied up the laptop and signed the Student Presence Card in place.
Unfortunately, when the classroom was quiet, he felt as if there were glares of eyes that looked at him so closely. This time Arsyilla completely closed her eyes dramatically. I just want to avoid it. Until finally Arsyilla quickly rolled up his laptop charger, pressed the shut down button on his laptop, and also turned off the LCD with a remote located on the lecturer's desk.
Every minute that goes by makes him feel insecure. Until he finished the student presence card by affixing the paraf there, and then rushed out of the room.
However, just as his feet were about to reach the exit, there was a voice that seemed to stop his footsteps.
“God apparently has good intentions so that I can be responsible .. then I will not waste it. We meet again here Ms. Arsyilla Kirana ..” said the man who is now standing behind Arsyilla.
