The 18 Year Bride
Gravel at the Marriage of Teacher and Schoolgirl

It's been four hours since Amanda's threat floated, to be honest I feel really depressed. If I do not obey his will and the photo is scattered then it ends all this but, what I fear more is the fate of Elijah, he still has to continue his education only six months, only six months left, it is a pity that it has to end in these last days. All his efforts so far will be in vain if this secret is revealed.

Then when the break came, I chose to read a book in the park, at least the contents of my head can be more upgraded and fresh because of the smell of leaves and soil that is still wet due to rain and satisfactory tree morphology. There is no better cure for tranquility than the gift of God's creation that man can never make.

However, this harmony of nature that I desire is disturbed after the woman who jeopardized Elijah's future came. I can't believe he really meant what he said this morning. He came with two cups of coffee and sat down next to me.

“Foreign language values all second year children always seem to be safe huh, Mr Damian? Ah, I'm so tired of having to give extra classes to kids in math class.” He said as he handed me one of the coffee cups.

“I don't drink coffee, sorry.”

“Oh, seriously? Sorry I really don't know.”

There was a slight empathic feeling, when he pulled back his hand with a face full of disappointment and embarrassment.if he still thought it would be very painful for him, even a cup of coffee from him was reluctant to accept, I refused, especially feelings. I could not get into his chatter, no matter how hard I struggled to get to know and accept it, my heart still refused.

“Throwing the heart of a cold person like you is indeed this difficult, huh?” he said in a soft voice.

However, Not long ago that disappointed full expression instantly changed and he hit me on the shoulder as if we had a relationship that familiar. “But, I really didn't expect you to be a quiet and ignorant person like you to be a teacher! Ha ha ha... like fate alone, huh?”

“What destiny?”

“Meetings and happiness.”

Amanda made me uncomfortable with her blind touch, so when I looked around, there were some students peering out of the window. Someone looked at us from the school corridor. I hear the whispers of those who think things about me and him. Now that I realize, Amanda did this on purpose to be seen by the students. Trying to make public opinion so sickening, I hate women who think cunningly like him.

Then I removed my body nearby, so that the armrest on my shoulder immediately came off. “Sorry, I have to go back to the office desk. Soon my lesson time starts.”

“Pak Damian!”

He screeched as he pulled a bit of the sleeve of the shirt I was wearing so that it made my step stop after getting up from the chair.

“You didn't forget our deal this morning right? When I come, you don't avoid. Give me a chance and space to get along, Damian. Don't you think, if I could melt your heart, you'd be far from being in a forbidden relationship with a schoolgirl, right? if it was me, no one would have railed against our relationship, you heard just now? All students are happy to see us together and familiar?”

“I'm sorry, I didn't deny. You said before; if I should give you a chance even if it's only during rest. Now the break time will be over, and I should be back soon to teach.”

He fell silent and slowly released his handrails on my shirt, “Good, I understand. I will also finish additional classes with the students as soon as possible, there are still four days before Sunday arrives, I will inform you of our date spot soon.”

Why am I so relaxed? it turns out that there are more complicated problems than the father's request to remarry. This time, I could no longer avoid it as usual. I had to do everything Amanda wanted for Elijah's future. Just six months, right, El? I will fight also for you, May we both be strong until that time comes. I'm sorry if this choice could hurt you, El.

...****************...

Today is the first time I ever kissed my wife, Elijah. But it has caused thousands of long-term problems. Without us knowing there are others who see and even capture through photos. All his knowledge, made a tool to suppress me.

Until then the bell went home from school, I could breathe a little, finally today I can escape from Amanda prison that shackles me. And now I'm getting lazy to go to school, because every hour of rest I have to take the time to talk to Amanda, a coworker who puts a taste in. Fighting for love the wrong way. Elijah forgive me, who can do nothing but accept Amanda's will just to protect you.

As I was about to go to the old library, I looked up at the sky. Even more rain than this morning, the sky became as dark as my life today.I walked slowly down the corridor in the building of two schools. But in front of my sight now stood my secret wife, Elijah. But not alone, there were other students with him. They look very familiar, What are they talking about?

There was something stuck in my heart, as if I was not willing to see Elijah laughing with another man, even chatting together in front of the basketball hall.

“What are you doing here? It's school time, so go home!”

I looked at them with a cold look, it felt like slashed, I was not willing. I admit it. My eyeballs go up and down watching this delinquent student.he is indeed pretty cool for a high school boy size, not to mention his style looks very fashionable with basketball club sportswear. My mind went wild, did they have more than just acquaintances?

Chaos, the burden of my troubles is back. Not finished facing Amanda, now it seems there is another small pebble that bothers, in the attention of the way he looks at Elijah, there is a great feeling for my wife.

“Ah, Mr. Damian. I-I'm sorry sir, I accidentally met Elijah who was carrying a class notebook. Because it looks like he's having a hard time so I'll help him, but he's very good at driving me back to the hall.”

How disgusting it would be to notice the expression of this boy now, he spoke to me but his face was staring at Elijah beside him. But, is it possible that this is a universal reply because I indirectly betrayed Elijah by obeying Amanda's will? Elijah was a good boy, it was only natural that the universe would avenge him.

“Yes. Elijah was a good boy.” I said coldly, then passed away leaving them.

From a distance I heard the voice of Elijah chasing while calling my name, but I do not wish I continued to step forward to the old axis, my original purpose.

“Pak Damian!”

“Pak Damian, wait a minute.”

Hap

Immediately I reached for his hand, when we reached the old library, his body suddenly crashed inside. Then I made sure to come back from the outside that no one else was looking.

“Can be silent no? If you hear someone else can be bad!”

“Ma-sorry.”

“Wait a minute, until the school is quite quiet just go home.” My timpal's back.

“Sir Damian, did something happen? Please don't think about me and Zack. We just said hello just now, I also just know him because he and I are different class.”

Not even thinking about it, my brain had gone all out when I saw them. New to greet, but already can help each other. New to know, but it can already be that familiar. It turns out that the love between teacher and student is not allowed, and marriage between student and teacher will not be easy. Oh, plus again. A much different age can also be calculated, right?
