Through the classroom window, Violleta saw a cypress tree swaying in the wind. She sighed then turned her face towards her student. She watched the students reading about the history of the Majapahit kingdom. She does not have the mood to explain to her students about the subject matter. She only gave her students assignments to read and write a resume from their reading.
Last night her parents gave her an ultimatum to marry David. David...? Just imagine a famous actor whose face is everywhere in the city, on billboard screens, appearing on every infotainment show and on every online news platform who will become her husband.
Violetta snorted, She is not a teenage girl who is crazy about the actor as well as the singer and dancer. She never even followed any news about him. She never watches infotainment shows. She was very busy, even she was so busy that it was difficult for her to breathe.
But since she was betrothed to the actor, like it or not, she had to find out who the annoying man would be her husband. And She just found out that he was gay.
Oh my God... how bad luck She is. She had to marry a gay man. Why were her parents so ambitious towards wealth? Just because her father became David's father's employee, She had to be sacrificed. Life is really unfair.
She should have accepted Professor Fatur's proposal at that time and they got married. She was too arrogant to refuse the professor's love just because She didn't love him. But now, Violetta feels that She would marry him, more than marry the gay actor.
Now that it's too late, a heartbroken Professor Fatur goes to Germany and chooses to become a lecturer at a German University. He was heartbroken by Violetta and now Violetta is getting the reward for hurting the professor's heart. She had to marry a gay man. Oh my God, what a shame life is.
A Student seems to raise his hand. He looked up at his history teacher with a bright in his eye. Violetta was silently like the Goddess of Approdite spreading her charms to every man.
Violetta turned her head and looked at the student who raised her hand.
"Speak up!" Violetta said in a deep and cold voice.
"Why did Raden Wijaya have to cooperate with the Mongols to attack Jayakatwang? And why did Kublai Khan have to attack the Singoasari kingdom?"
Violetta stood up from her seat and she then stepped down the podium to get closer to her students. From her tiny mouth without excessive lipstick, she spoke explaining to the student.
Not only the student who was satisfied with Violetta's explanation, but everyone seemed to understand the explanation of the very intelligent lecturer.
When class was over, Violetta immediately packed up all her teaching equipment. She turned off her laptop and rolled up the charging cable.
The student who asked earlier seemed to approach her enthusiastically. He is Argen, Final Year Student.
"When does the Professor have time for me? I want to consult my thesis" Argen said.
Violleta glared her beautiful eyes and Argen felt his heart pierce the cupid god. God made Violetta like a very beautiful ice sculpture. Everyone seemed unable to stand the cold from Violleta but he wanted to melt all the ice in Violleta.
"I can't this week, I'm finishing my scientific journal. I gave you time two days ago but you didn't come" said Violleta as she took her laptop bag. Argen swiftly took the bag from Violeta's hand.
"Let me carry it," said Argen. Violleta seemed to be frowning but out of courtesy she then let Argen take it.
"That's Professor, I'm really sorry. At that time my grandmother was sick so I couldn't come" said Argen.
"Hmmm..." Violleta was silent as she continued to walk, followed by the student who was following her with enthusiasm.
"If the Professor does not have time on campus, I am willing to come to your house, Prof," said Argen again. He didn't seem to care a few pairs of eyes of his friends saw him like an errand boy chasing his master.
Violetta's steps suddenly stopped like a car braked suddenly. She glanced at Argen who stood with a grin on his face.
"I don't accept campus problems being brought to my house" Violleta looks like she can't stand this rascal student anymore
"Then what should I do?"
"I'll reschedule for you next week"
"Thank you Professor" Argen looked very happy.
Violetta walked back at a faster pace so that she could quickly get to her room. But then her steps faltered when her ears heard the chatter of some of her students. And then She gives all ear to them
"Did you hear that David was going to clarify this confusing news?" said a green-clad student.
"I can't believe he's gay?"
"I believe that issue, absolutely"
"But why ?"
"You'll see, he's so handsome and looks so pretty as a man. He's also really spoiled for Kelvin in that movie. I bet he's gay."
Violetta's face turned pale. How She hated the actor. Tonight there is a meeting between her family and David's family, they will set a wedding date. Violetta cursed David for having to be present in her life.
She was comfortable with her life. She doesn't care about marriage. Why should She marry when living alone is more comfortable for her.
Argen, who realized that Violleta had stopped to listen to his friends' conversation, asked casually,
"Professor seems to be interested in handsome actor David. He's in his prime. But sadly, he's gay. Next week we senate invites him to attend the Arts School Music Festival."
"Why are you inviting actors who can have a bad influence on other students? Can't you invite a more educated profile?"
"What's the point of being educated if he doesn't have a selling point? We need him to be able to attract everyone's interest to this music festival. Moreover, we need funds to support the victims of the flood disaster yesterday. Everybody said he was a very generous person"
