Mr. Teacher, I Love You
6. An Adult Male

Be nuts. Zeo is really crazy. There was not a single adult at the party and the party was completely filled with High School kids. Due to Tiwi's actions, Zeo stood out on his own. Fortunately she was wearing a dress that Satria gave her. If she's wearing a Tiwi dress, she might be forgotten that she's the prettiest kid in High School.

Zeo wants to turn around and just go home. However, he was more worried about Satria's threat. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity, no more negotiations. Zeo entered the room with a bow and covered his chest with a bag. Luckily he was wearing a mask so no one recognized him. Zeo sat down at a table after taking a glass of water and drinking it a little.

“Why alone?”

Zeo looked up after having previously spent time wasting face. A tall man was already in front of him apparently.

“Oh ...” Zeo confusion. After looking around him, he only realized that he was alone while the others were gathering with some people. Maybe because Zeo is new and has no friends.

“Can I sit here?” ask the man before Zeo replies.

“I-iya,” Zeo replied. Then he threw away his face again.

Moments later, Zeo ventured to raise his face. He looked at the man sitting in front of him. The man spoke formally with her. His voice also sounded mature. It can be believed that this man is an adult male. There was no other adult than this man. Zeo didn't even see Satria's parents.

“Why do you keep seeing me? Did I make a mistake?” asked the man to be aware of Zeo's behavior.

“Not-not.” Zeo raised both of his palms. “Here I have not seen one adult other than you. Are you one of the Satria family, Om perhaps?”

The man laughed softly. “Are you not an adult?”

Didn't Zeo hear wrong? The man called Zeo an adult? Does Zeo really look like an adult? Could it be that it was also what made his school friends no one approached him, just the opposite was even this man?

Suddenly Zeo saw the man raising Zeo's drink.

“Eh, that's my drink,” said Zeo. Unfortunately, the man had already drunk his drink a little.

The man lowered his glass. “Neither papa. You can grab mine.” The man instead pushed his drink glass that had not been drunk in the slightest. Then he continued to gulp it.

Zeo grabbed the glass hesitantly. He's getting nervous. It was not because the drink the man had drunk that made him feel heavy, but Tiwi's story of her first kiss that reminded Zeo. What happened to him at this moment was exactly like Tiwi's story. Does that mean his first kiss has been taken by this man? Exactly a foreign man who let go of his name, his face alone does not know?

“I?” Zeo was confused to choose an answer.

“I have attended several parties that Satria held. But just this time I saw another adult besides me,” added the man.

“Anu ... I was also his teacher Satria ... in High School,” eventually Zeo told that lie.

“Really?”

Now Zeo is worried if this man does not believe it, even knowing that in Satria High School there is no teacher like him.

“It looks like you guys are pretty close until Satria invites you,” add the guy.

Ah, Zeo breathed a sigh of relief. His lies are not easily exposed.

“Iya. Several times I set aside my time to help her study in the library.” Ah, Zeo is prolonging his lies.

Suddenly the man put his hand out. Zeo scrunched up his forehead not understanding.

“As fellow adults, how about we dance,” invite the man.

Zeo looked around. He still hesitated if someone recognized him. Since there was no sign of Satria's arrival, Zeo received the helping hand and the two walked into the middle. No one recognized him before. No one would have thought that his self that looks today is actually just a high school boy.

The man directly pulled Zeo's back so that their distance became very close. Zeo became more nervous. He had never been close to this close to a man in an atmosphere of seriousness. He also lowered his head. Suddenly the man pushed Zeo's chin slowly so that Zeo had to look up. Then the man locked onto Zeo with his gaze. That look feels comfortable. Zeo was unable to lower his gaze.

Damn, unlucky, and unlucky Zeo could not maintain the luck he had obtained. She had to stop her dance, hide the embarrassment, because one of the rolls of her socks fell off.
