His name is Awan Nugraha.
The man was twenty-five years old, just like Senja Alexandro. He was also Senja's best friend since they were both children, when they were both five years old. At that time, Awan and his family had just moved into an empty house next to Alexandro's residence. Awan's family also just started their family company from scratch and has grown rapidly. Bryan Alexandro, Senja's father, who was interested in collaborating with Awan's family company, made their company even more famous until today.
Currently, Awan was standing next to his car. He had been waiting for about fifteen minutes, but his best friend who had asked for help to pick him up at school and told him to be a driver for him and going somewhere, did not come. Since fifteen minutes ago too, Awan has been uncomfortable, being glared at by high school girls who admire his good looks. Well, Awan is not a hypocrite. He realizes his good looks and presence is very influential for the mental health of the women around him. What he means is, there is no way that women will not be tempted when they see his good looks, right? And that's what Awan are afraid of. Afraid that they would suddenly go crazy because they couldn't have him who was the only one in this world.
Okay. He's a narcissist. Satisfied?
Awan click his tongue and took off his sunglasses. He massaged the bridge of his nose and sighed heavily. He had been standing near his car door for too long, his legs were sore. Awan also does not really like to sit for long in the car. Finally, the shoulder-length long haired man who was tied one back took his cell phone from his back pocket and immediately called Senja. He waited long enough, almost cursing loudly, when the phone connected.
"Hey! If you don't come out right now—"
"Arrrgh! Awan! Awan! Please, help me! Its going to kill me!" Senja shouted from the other end of the call, not giving Awan a chance to scold him and threaten him for making him wait too long. Of course, the frustrated scream from his best friend made Awan's brow furrow. He hung his sunglasses over the shirt he was wearing.
"What is it? Why are you suddenly talking like a crazy man like this, Sen? You're sane, right? Could it be that you are drunk? Do you bring drinks to school? Nuts! Don't suddenly go crazy like that, Sen. If the you are caught out by the school, especially the principal who has been kind enough to give you a job, it could be bad later. You can be fired, Sen. After all, there are a lot of minors, right? You should be a role model for them."
Awan's eyebrows shot up when he didn't get a response and instead heard a loud shout from the other side. In fact, Awan could have sworn he could hear the screams of a girl screaming the word, 'kill it'.
"What a lunatic! You stupid, crazy man!" shouted Senja later, making Awan wake up from his daydream and blink. "I'm not a drunker like you, damn it! Hurry up and come to my room! If you don't know, ask anyone you meet, but don't bring them into my room with you!"
Before Awan had time to reply to Senja's words, the connection had been disconnected one sided by his friend. Frowning in confusion and turning off the car engine and then locking it, Awan rushed into the school where Senja teaches. He didn't forget to ask Senja's room to the school security who was also about to enter the school. As ordered by Senja, Awan did not invite the security to come with him to Senja's room. As soon as Awan arrived in front of Senja's room and opened the door, the man blinked. There, in Senja's room, his best friend was standing on a sofa with a high school student. Both of them looked hysterical and pale while babbling something. As soon as Awan stared at the wall that Senja and the high school student glared at, the man blinked again for the umpteenth time.
"Cockroache?" muttered Awan subconsciously. His voice immediately made Senja and Mentari look at him at the same time.
"Mr. Senja! The owner of the cockroache has arrived! We are safe!" exclaimed Mentari with a sentence that could make Awan frown.
"Awan! Quickly drive away the deadly beast! Get it out of this room! Its going to kill me! Hurry up!" shouted Senja, no less excited than Mentari. Even for now, Mentari no longer cares about the change in Senja's attitude. Senja also no longer cares if Mentari sees him scared like this just because of a cockroach.
"Hey," said Awan with his hands on his hips, "is this how you ask someone for help?"
"You damn friend!" cursed Senja. He's glared at Awan, made Mentari who saw his behavior, suddenly shuddered. This story will change its genre to horror if suddenly Senja's eyeballs decide to jump out of their sockets. "You want me to collect all the expenses I've spent to support you?!"
"Tsk, tsk," Awan click his tongue. The man showed a smug face, smirked and wiggled his index finger. "Senja, if you say something like that, your dear student beside you will think that the two of us have a special relationship that is very exciting, so that you spend all your wealth just to make me happy."
"Ugh! He's your lover?" asked Mentari with a look and a disgusted face. Of course she reflexively did this due to hearing Awan's words just now. Senja immediately turned his gaze away from Awan, who had bent down to hide his amused laughter towards Mentari.
"Don't talk rubbish, Mentari, or I'll give you a really bad scores!" Senja threatened, making Mentari snort and cross her arms.
"You seem very happy to abuse your power as a teacher. Be careful, Sir, or your boyfriend," she pointed at Awan, who was now laughing even more after hearing her words, "he will run away if your attitude continues like this. Don't worry, Sir. I'm not judging you, really. We are free to love anyone. But in terms of religion, err, I think you are still wrong. Well, I don't want to talk about matters related to religion, because I realize that my knowledge of religion is still lacking. I'm afraid I will said something wrong." Mentari shrugged and looked at Awan who was now taking a deep breath to calm his laughter. "So, Uncle, can you please drive away that creepy creature before it decides to fly towards me and this teacher from hell?"
Senja Alexandro swore he would make up the most difficult questions for Mentari and all her friends in the girl's class. So, if they have trouble answering and get bad scores, Senja will blame Mentari and let the girl be scolded by her classmates.
"Fine," Awan chuckled. He entered Senja's room and pointed at the broom that was behind the door. "Can I use that thing?"
"Please use whatever object you want to kill that creature, Wan!"
Awan chuckled again and shook his head. This was all because all of Senja's cousins had pranked his best friend. Back then, Senja was reading, when some of his cousins throwed toys like cockroaches on him. A lot of them. Unfortunately, among the toys, there are real cockroaches that blends in. About three cockroaches. And, one of them got into Senja's clothes, causing the whole house in panic because Senja was crying hysterically. Since then, Senja has become very afraid of cockroaches.
After the cockroach was successfully removed by Awan, Senja and Mentari immediately sighed in relief. The two of them sat down on the sofa. No debate or argue as usual. All Senja and Mentari wanted to do was rest and forget all about the cockroach. Both of their lives were almost in danger. If Awan heard this, maybe the man would laugh again at Senja and Mentari.
"So," said Awan then, making Senja and Mentari look at him. "What's the relationship between the two of you?" he asked in an amused and seductive tone. Make Senja and Mentari blink and gape, then look at each other and point at each.
"With this teacher from hell?"
"With this stupid girl?"
Awan laughed again and shook his head in amusement. The two people in front of him were truly entertainment for him.
"Yeah, right!" shout Senja and Mentari at the same time, then snorted and looked away.
