Pursued by the Love of Jengkol Children
Introductions

That night. While in the family room, Sophia's mother, who was sitting while watching a television show, looked a little uneasy. He wanted to call Raka who had just returned from the mosque and was changing clothes in her room. However, she ended up just waiting in the room, while waiting for Raka to come out of her room.

A few moments later. Raka, who had changed clothes, came out of her room and sat in the living room with her mother. A moment later, Sophia's mother began to open the word speaking to Raka.

'' Son. Mommy wants it to be the same you can?'' ask Sophia's mother.

'' Yes, you can dong ma'am. When people ask, Raka replied looking at her mother's face.

'' Emm.. Do you like Naya?'' ask Sophia's mother to arrive.

'' Ma'am. Mother why the hell? How come mom suddenly has such a strange name!'' sahut Raka who was surprised by the question of his mother.

'' Raka, do you like Naya?'' sophia's mother repeated her question.

Hearing her mother repeat the question again, Raka was silent for a moment. He then recalled his joke to Naya this afternoon. He was now thinking, whether his mother did not like the joke, or whether his mother thought that she liked Naya. After a while, Rakapun immediately replied.

'' Ma'am..! Raka likes and loves Naya. But only like and unfortunately a brother to a sister. Yes even though he is not Raka's real sister. I don't know, Raka doesn't have a sister Raka replied.

'' What does Raka's mother think is wrong when Raka is like that?'' raka continued and asked Sophia's mother.

'' No son. I don't think you're guilty of that at all. In fact, if your love and affection for Naya is more than that, mother will not mind it.''

'' I just want to know how you feel about her. Do you really love him even though he is only your foster sister.'' said Sophia's mother.

'' Really, mom! Even though Naya is only an adopted sister, Raka will still love and take care of her like a sister to her own biological sister.''

'' How about mom? Do you also love and also want to make mom happy!''

'' Yes it must be dong ma'am! The same time of others Raka can be affectionate, let alone the same parents themselves.

'' What if, for example, this mother is not your birth mother? Will you still love your mother?'' said Sophia's mother.

'' Mother...! What the hell are you talking about? I know Raka's mother's son. Why did you even say that!''

'' This would be if I were son. I also want to know, how do you behave towards mother if this mother is not your real mother!'' sophia's mother looked serious.

'' Mother..! Even if Raka is like not a mother's child, Raka will still love mother like this all along. Raka will keep looking after and try to make mom happy.''

'' All this time, mother has been caring for and loving Raka with all her heart. So, Raka also wants to show Raka's devotion to motherhood. But.. for what the hell is nanyain's mother like that? It looks strange and not very important dong bu!'' raka said and smiled.

Hearing Raka's reply, also seeing the look in her eyes that showed how sincere what she said, Sophia's mother smiled as well. There was a sense of happiness in his heart that emanated from his face. It seemed, Raka's speech was like a lamp in the middle of darkness.

I don't know! Actually there is a mystery behind the question and curiosity of Sophia's mother, so she asked Raka. Raka herself did not think much about it. Right now, he was still thinking about the right reason for tomorrow morning, when he would later meet his guidance counselor.

...----------------...

Tok to tok. '' Assalamualaikum.'' said Raka in front of the door of Mr. Gultom's room.

'' Enter!'' a voice of response from inside the room.

After hearing the answers and orders from inside the room, Raka opened the door and immediately entered the room. Behind the table in the room, there appeared a middle-aged man sitting while doing something. The man has a slightly fat body, and also has a thick mustache.

'' Good morning sir! Did you call me?'' greeting Raka after being in front of the table, Mr. Gultom.

The middle-aged man turned his head for a moment and looked towards Raka. After that, he resumed his work.

'' Good morning! Please sit down, and wait a moment.'' he said hearing the voice and typical accent of Medan people.

Raka immediately sat down and waited until Mr. Gultom was done with his affairs. Although his heart beat quite fast, when faced with the famous fierce Gultom sir, Raka tried to be as calm as possible, so as not to cause other problems. A few minutes later, Mr. Gultom put down his pen and book, and he started talking.

'' Your name is Raka, right?'' ask Mr. Gultom while observing Raka.

'' Yes sir.'' Raka replied briefly.

'' You know, why are you I calling here?'' gultom sir interrogated Raka.

'' Know sir. Yesterday I did not attend the course of the father and without giving a description.'' answered Raka mentioned the cause he was called by Mr. Gultom.

'' Do you know too. If the rules in this campus, can not skip courses except with clear information?''

'' Yes sir!''

'' If you know your mistake, why do you still dare to do it. What do you think, this campus belongs to your ancestors. Until you casually break the rules in this campus!'' he looked at Raka sharply.

Raka just bowed and did not dare to cut the words of his guidance lecturer. Mr. Gultom with his voice quite loud, he continued to lecture Raka. While continuing to speak, he began to stand up and walk back and forth in front of Raka who did not dare to look at Mr. Gultom.

'' You must know! This school is not like any other campus. You also know, not everyone can go to college here! Right?'' said Mr. Gultom answered by Raka with a nod.

'' You should be grateful! You who come from an ordinary family, can enter and study here.

'' I know that you are a pretty smart and accomplished student. But even so, that does not mean you can just violate the rules in this campus. Moreover, on the schedule of my course hours.''

'' I also most dislike, if there are students who are not disciplined, especially to underestimate the courses I give.''

'' Oh no sir! If you do not want to give grades on courses owned by my father to me, free dong I go to college!'' raka answered worriedly.

'' Yes then, never make a mistake like yesterday.'' said Mr. Gultom.

'' Yes sir! I promise I won't do it again!'' raka said half-begging.

'' Alright! Since this is indeed the first time you have made a mistake, you I'm sorry. I also don't need to hear what your reason was about yesterday. But you will still punish me. Can you accept it?'' ask Mr. Gultom.

'' Yes sir. I will accept with sincerity the punishment from the father.'' said Raka, although he himself did not know the punishment of Mr. Gultom.

'' Fine! Since you have said yourself ready to accept the punishment I will give, then you must write an apology of twenty-two thousand words, not one less. And tomorrow morning, you already have to hand it over to me.''

'' One more! The writing should be neat and easy to count, Gultom continued, then told Raka to return to class.

Raka immediately left Gultom's room, then went to his classroom. There, his friends immediately greeted Raka and asked what punishment was given by Mr. Gultom to him. The students already know, if there are students who are told to face Mr. Gultom, there must be souvenirs in the form of punishment from him.

'' Uh bro! hows it? Have you met Mr Gultom?'' ask his friend who is sitting on his left.

'' Already! This was just me from his room, replied Raka who had just sat in her seat.

Some students and students who had just come and entered the room, they also turned to look at Raka. They also want to know, what was given by Mr. Gultom to Raka.

Usually, the students are mostly children of rich people or officials, when they violate the rules especially those related to Mr. Gultom, who, then they will directly ask their parents to come and solve their problems.

However, because they know that Raka only comes from an ordinary family, they also want to know how Raka faces the problem.

'' Ka.. You finally came! You found Gultom sir, right? You didn't get to DO, did you?'' said Helen who had just come with a student, and seemed to be a new student.

'' Alhamdulillah, Hel. And as you can see, I am still here, replied Raka who accidentally saw the new student who came with Helen.

'' Uh yes Ka. It's ravenous! New friends in our class. Name's Bella. He moved from Bandung, and only yesterday did he enter this class.

'' Bella, it's Raka. He is among the most diligent and clever. Just don't know why, yesterday he didn't come.''

'' The guy is also quite handsome and a lot of girls want to be his bluff. But baby, until now he is still single. Don't know. Actually, what kind of girl is she looking for. To the extent that, all the girls who approached him always he refused.'' said Helen who likes to be smitten, and once rejected by Raka with smooth.

'' Maybe he's waiting for his son president!'' sindir one of the girls named Silvi who also approached Raka.

'' It's not so Sil..! Maybe he was feeling inferior, because his status was not like ours!'' said one of the students who felt jealous of Raka, because Raka was often approached by the girls in the campus.

'' Yes Sil..! He is the son of a lower class man. So, yes it should be, know yourself.'' The young man who just spoke.

'' Hus..! You guys, what the hell is that talk! Even though you are rich, you also usually just ask for the same bokap bokap you. Not like he who can live independently and not burden his parents.'' Snapped Helen to the two young men who had insulted Raka.

Helen, who is the son of an official and one of the girls who became the target in the class, did not like it if any of them insulted Raka. Although Raka had been frank with Helen, if she did not want to be in a relationship with anyone, and only wanted to focus on her college, but it did not make Helen give up. In fact, he is the first to defend Raka if there are other students who demean Raka.

'' Helen, why do you keep fighting him. I knew he was rejecting you. After all, there are still many handsome guys who want to be with you. His son is a rich man, said Silvi.

'' It's true Hel..! Than you ngarep-ngarep that is not clear, mending you just like me. I'm less what's trying? He was handsome, loyal, and loyal. I assure you, you would be happy if you were me!'' sahut Rico, the young man who was sneering at Raka.

'' Me? want to be with you? hhh.. The dream!'' helen replied with a faint smile towards Rico.

While they were arguing, someone who had been in the corner of the room suddenly said:

" Shhh... You all! If you do not want to be called by Mr. Gultom, mending you sit down and do not be noisy.

Hearing the young man who was quite quiet and often aloof said, they simultaneously turned towards the young man. Because everyone looked at him, the young man named Taufan, then showed his finger towards where Mr. Gultom was walking towards the room where they were.

Seeing the lecturer who was dubbed by them as the killer was heading towards them, Helen and the others hurriedly returned to his seat and sat down quietly. Like the SD children, none of them dared to make a sound, when Mr. Gultom entered the room.

Only their eyes were sometimes lyrically intertwined, to hint at the words in the hearts of the students. Apparently, the nickname as the killer carried by Mr. Gultom was enough to make the students did not dare to act.

'' All morning!'' said Mr. Gultom before he sat down.

'' Morning sir..!'' the students answered in unison.

'' Did anyone come again today?'' ask Gultom sir while paying attention

'' There is no sir. Everyone present!'' answer one of the students who sat at the front.

'' Raka, remember! Tomorrow morning, which I said to you, it must be in my room table before I come.''

'' Yes sir, ready!'' raka replied while standing up.

Until the course of Mr. Gultom is over, all students in the class are calm and solemn, following what was delivered by Mr. Gultom. Because today there are only two courses, namely from Mr. Gultom and other lecturers, then completed the courses given by Mr. Gultom, they also rested before continuing to the next course.

During the break, Bella who was introduced by Helen had not had time to talk to Raka, she used the opportunity to try to talk to him. He was also curious about Raka. He just remembered, if yesterday the young man who all his clothes were dirty was exposed to splashes of water puddle by his father's car, so similar to Raka.
