Young Teacher's
One Question Only

*crack*

The sound of the door opening from outside.

My heart's pounding because I saw that Mr. Novan was coming in, uh no, Brother Novan.

A steady but relaxed step followed by her hair that moved following her footsteps made my eyes unable to blink for a second. Then he approached the teacher's desk where I was sitting. I was so surprised. I thought what he wanted!.

Then he took the bag that was under me. I keep watching him with my eyes. But our eyes never met.

“Kids, we continue the next meeting yes. Mr. Pamit first, Assalamualaikum” said brother Novan. He stepped out, right in front of the door. He's looking at me. Then...

“Thanks Mom, please continue” he said.

I didn't get a chance to reply, he walked straight out of the classroom, walked leisurely and then disappeared from my sight.

It was furious that I saw him, why the hell is it so hard to interact with him. aarrrggghh.!!

Then I approached one of the female students, I asked “tadi it is still a lesson Mr Novan?”.

“Iya Bu, earlier Mr. Novan permission to go to the toilet kept the bell rang”.

“Pantesan, why not tell Ibu” I said annoyed.

The student just smiled feeling guilty.

I continued my studies with a pretty upset heart, but still had to teach.

“.....”

The break bell rang, I was finally able to rest. I went down the stairs one by one I saw the cafeteria was very crowded, I took the time to buy a fresh drink in the canteen. But arrived…

“Liiiaaaaaaaa” shouted Reno from behind.

With a flat face I answered his greeting.

“Iyaaa” -__-.

“Lia want to kantin yes, ayoo with” Reno directly pull the bag in my hand. I had to follow the scale from behind.

After entering the crowd, I noticed that there was one drink left on the table of one of the merchants in the cafeteria. I went straight to the drink. When I was about to bring it, I saw a hand giving money to the seller of the drink.

“Lohh neng want that drink huh? it has been bought by Mr. Ini” said the seller.

I looked towards that father. Diaaaa againiii.

Our eyes finally met. The annoyance with the incident disappeared instantly when he saw his eyes. My heart beats irregularly. Haduhhh why the hell.

“Take yes, make you” Kak Novan handed me his drink.

“No sir, this is Dad already paid so it belongs to Bapak” I said while refusing.

Brother Novan just looked at me, then set his eyes on Reno who had just been dumbfounded, then Kak Novan kept a drink on the table earlier and said “take ya” I have not had time to thank him rushed to leave this crowded cafeteria.

Honestly my heart is very happy, because I can finally talk even for a moment. I was still silent in that place. Until Reno's voice called.

“Lia grab a drink, let's buy food” take Reno.

I just nodded and took the drink. After I chose the food and decided to buy batagor I left the canteen with Reno.

We walked towards the picket room, the quiet atmosphere, then Reno opened the conversation.

“Lia who was it? you know?” ask Reno. Maybe that's what he meant by Nova.

“Pak Novan”.

“Iya who was giving a drink to kamu” Reno pointed to my drink.

“Not known, just limited to know the name aja” said me.

“But why from his eyes seems to care so much about Lia” asked Reno in wonder.

“Ah time anyway Ren, not really we do not know each other” answered me.

Reno simply fell silent as if she was holding back her curiosity.

We reached the picket room, where Ayu and Wanda had bought food as well. We ate together and talked with pleasure.

So did I. There are so many unexpected things today. Starting from Kak Novan saw me, spoke to me, gave me a drink. 3 unexpected things. I was so surprised, why I was so obsessed with wanting to chat with Kak Novan. Do I like it? ah no way, after all a handsome teacher who may still be single hehe just my curiosity, after I finished doing PLP here must be the curiosity will disappear by itself.

@Home.

I opened my instagram, I looked back at Kak Novan's account. It would be nice to click on the “lik” button but embarrassed if the next day meet again. My feelings are now at war with my logic. Just because of this my mind is not because of now. I kept looking at his pictures one by one. Up to the photo of Kak Novan who is embracing his mother, if you see Kak Novan is very affectionate to his mother to the point of putting a photo with his mother on instagram. I still keep looking at her picture, I don't see her with her boyfriend. Is it possible to still be alone? Is she married? I would love to ask my mother. But afraid to suspect hehe. Looks like I'll have to figure it out myself. Uh wait, why should I be found out anyway, well I why.

But I really want to follow his account. It seemed like he had to dare to follow her first.

I slide my hand to click follow. But still very doubtful.

After thinking for a few minutes, I finally clicked on “lik” directly I closed my instagram and I turned off mobile data. Hahahah is funny basic woman.

@AT 21:00.

I ventured to look back at my phone that I had kept on my desk.

I open and turn on the cellular data.

“TRIIINGG”.

There is a notification.

“Novan start following you”.

Ahargggghhhhh!!! it feels like this heart is about to be dislodged but I'm still amazed why it feels so happy.

I can't wait for tomorrow to see his face. That night I slept very well with a very happy feeling.

As usual, I left early in the morning and waited for my friends in the picket room. There was Erika.

“Hai Erika” my cow.

“Haii Lia, tumben early in the morning, Ayu where?” Ask.

“Iya nih hehe Ayu is not with me, he said he wants to be picked up Wanda” replied me.

“Ohh so, uh know not Lia, here there is a cool teacher loh” he said.

I wonder if that Erika meant was Mr. Novan.

“Ohh yes, what's his name?” Askaqua.

“I've heard of a friend calling Van, but I don't know whose real name” he replied.

I'm sure it was Nova.

I just kept quiet.

Not long after that the person being talked about came to the picket room for an absentee signature.

At once Erika's eyes sparkled and lowered the mask on her face. With a smile Erika greeted Brother Novan.

“Good morning Pak” said Erika while smiling flirtatiously.

Brother Novan just glanced at him and returned his greeting by nodding.

I was upset with Erika's behavior.

Then Erika asked.

“Which teacher teaches in which class today?” Her question was very friendly with a gentle tone.

I just frowned.

Brother Novan did not reply, just glanced at him and his eyes shriveled like he was smiling faintly. I can't see and confirm it because Mr. Novan always wears a mask. Then his eyeballs were pointed at me. Instantly my heart was beating fast. Our eyes met for a little while.

Brother Novan asked me “yesterday the drink was taken?”.

I was very surprised, only able to answer with a nod and a slight smile.

Brother Novan raised his eyebrows next door and left the picket room.

What dream was I last night, now my body is silent but my heart is prancing prancing. Glad to hear even if it is just one question. I thought he'd forgotten what happened yesterday but he remembered it. I think he'll forget my face. But it turned out to be unexpected. I kept daydreaming with a lot of questions.

Suddenly...

“Bruuukkkk” Erika kicked off the table and I woke up from my daydream.
