The 18 Year Bride
Dating Me, I Keep Your Secrets


I set my breath when I stepped on foot at school. Elijah was already in class. Then when I got to the teacher's room, I immediately sat down to rest and calm my heart that was pounding violently. In just a moment I took a breath, Amanda came closer to my seat.


“Good Morning, Mr. Damian.”


“Pagi.”


I try to maintain an attitude, I try to be professional and behave like a coworker, although actually a bit lazy but I have to appreciate the kindness that still greeted me despite being rejected.


“This morning was a bit cloudy, the other teachers so came a bit late. Mr Damian himself tumben once came early?”


“Avoiding rain.” My answer was short, while collecting the answer sheets of the student quiz yesterday when I was not in school.


“Avoid rain but use car.”


I stopped my busyness, the student exam papers I dropped off already. “Bu Amanda deliberately approached me not just to make small talk like this, right?”


Amanda kept looking at me with a knotty smile, “You are indeed as cold as ever, Mr. Damian.”


then without any movement I could guess, he grabbed my hand on the table and clasped it tightly. I who was disturbed by his touch, raised my head up to look at him, now our two pairs of eyes meet. He looked at me as if he was putting pressure on me.


“What do you do?” I said as I quickly pulled my hand that was in her hand.


He became silent, the atmosphere became silent and silent. He looked back at me with a look of sadness, while his tone was raised to a higher level.


“Why Damian? Was wrong? I just touched your hand, but you were so disgusted. You are very anti-contact with others, but you even kissed a student just now.”


Oh, goddamn. My lips were stiff but in my heart I cursed a million times. It was the first time I did it but it was immediately discovered by someone else, why would Amanda know? The streets were deserted. I tried to calm down, lest this woman backfire destroy me and Elijah.


“You're too naive Mr. Damian, you're acting as if you're closing yourself off from the outside environment. Even though I have come here to face you, I behave like a woman to approach you. I saw her just now, I saw her in the car. You kissed a schoolgirl.”.


I fell silent, the thoughts in my brain scrambling for reasons to cover up my relationship with Elijah. Many times I curse the situation, why do I always have bad luck? But just cursing will not be enough. All I have to do now is find the right answer. Although quiet for a long time, finally God gave me an answer that makes no sense, so as the idea crossed I immediately convey spontaneously.


“Continues? Kissing with schoolgirls alone?”


she said in amazement when I told her all the lies.


“Ya, exactly. As you heard just now from my mouth.”


“Although at first I only helped her to take her to school, then when she wanted to say goodbye, I was tempted.”


Disappointed, he stood up from the chair. Maybe my answer is not enough in his mind, but yes it is important I have an explanation.


“When you first came to teach here, I was the one who helped you get to know the environment, even almost every empty hour. I always try to get along with you, we share stories even if you just keep quiet. Do you remember?” he said in a soft tone while busy wiping away the tears.


“Of course, you don't remember any more that you never looked at me. Don't fall in love, have a kiss that I never got from you! But I remember it, because I really love you.”


“What do you want to say?” I said slightly leaning back, in search of tranquility, Amanda was indeed a kind and friendly person but unfortunately she was carrying too much feeling, so it made her nauseating.


He turned and looked back at me,


“Do you...like that student?”


“If not.. You won't kiss her! As you always say, the subconscious actions of man cannot lie. Like you who claimed to happen to kiss her lips.”


Right, I didn't lie about that. It turned out that he actually remembered every word I ever said. He sat back in the front seat of my desk.


“Damian, you can't do this, the love between the schoolgirl and the teacher is not allowed. If the people in this school knew, you would never be able to teach again. Or at worst you could be sued by a student guardian.”


I was getting fed up, because his words managed to pull back my fear.


“I know without you having to tell.”


“Then, during the school environment continue to look familiar to me, we chat or lunch together. There should be, even if only during the break. When I come to you, you can't refuse. If you agree to do all that, I won't tell anyone about your kiss with a schoolgirl. I'll keep this a secret fine.”


Bam


I looked at him sharply, “Have you just threatened me?”


“I have her photo.” His ideal.


Burning my heart, Amanda managed to play a game. I didn't know what to do, my hands clenched tightly.If I had the power and no longer had the heart, perhaps a raw punch had already floated to his face by now.


“And tomorrow week, let's go on a date. I'll wait for you in the city center, there was a new movie released yesterday, the theme of her romance is perfect for couples who spend time together.”


I frowned looking at him with an intimidating look, “What are you doing all this for?”


“To get your love.”


“Yesterday I rejected you, and you told me to forget how you felt. Why are you saying something else now? Didn't you tell me yourself that you didn't want to get a hitch at work? Is that not enough?” say


“No, yesterday I gave up too soon. Love is a pure feeling, and I want to fight it back until the last fighting point. I'm sure if we spend a lot of time together, your feelings will grow over time.I think I can forget about you after you reject me. But it turns out that your shadow is so real, that it's not easy for me to take it off, my heart still hurts when I see you touch someone else, I think I still love you so much and my love is so big that it's worth fighting for.”


This woman is insane, though her attitude reminds me of Elijah, but they are unequal. Elijah struggled with sincerity without utilizing anything that could benefit him, he only did and time gave his blessing. With Amanda? He misunderstood me saying he loved me. In fact, he loves himself more, he will do anything to achieve the happiness of his heart, no matter what he has to sacrifice.
