The 18 Year Bride
Goodbye to the Profession

I looked at the news on the main page of the announcement from the mobile screen shown by Aria's mother, the friendly photos of me and Elijah were clearly displayed.

immediately I turned my eyes, how is Elijah now? was he okay when he got to school?

I didn't think this would happen so quickly, which I was worried about now having to deal with, and that's when, I wasn't like a defendant.I was standing straight in front of the principal's desk, in the interrogation through their demeaning gazes made me even more depressed.

"Can't be denied anymore, if it's you, Mr. Damian and 3C student, Elijah. isn't it?"

Suddenly Mr. Hans awakened my consciousness,

I try to calm down, and try not to be nervous, "True." I said.

hearing my answer, Aria ma'am pulled her phone and put her face close to my eyes, she was very angry, visible from her burning tone of speech, "Right? how dare you!"

I can understand how disappointed he felt. because, he is the guardian of Elijah in school.of course it is his responsibility, if the student is in trouble.

"Can you explain, what does this all mean Mr Damian?" Timpal, sir Hans is back.

"That's as you can see, there's nothing I can explain" I replied briefly.

again, I tried to stay calm, because from the beginning I realized that this was a risk that I had made. I kissed Elijah did not know the place.

"How dare you say that?!" sergeant Aria's mother again.

I took a deep breath, then I submitted a little view to look polite, trying to make a good impression through body language when my actions were so reprehensible in violation of Moral values, but suppose at that time I acted like a husband to a wife,

"I'm really sorry."

so did Aria's mother, now she was a little calmer in her lower tone, "Sir Damian, this is not your personal matter! this concerns the trust of the teachers.do you think that just apologizing can solve the problem?!"

I remember everything he said, nothing was wrong. He was right.

"Sir Damian, for this matter, of course sanctions cannot be avoided. is it okay for you?" Mr. Hans said, "Can you tell us what you really feel?"

Mr. Hans who is modest is suitable to lead this school, he is so calm and trying to respond well even though my actions can not be understood.he is indeed rather old, he is quite old, maybe that's why Mr. Hans was so gentle but also so firm.

Therefore, I follow his orders by revealing what I feel. clearly, I am ready if I have to bear the toughest responsibility.

I hold my head, I firmly catch the eyes of Mr. Hans so that every word I say he can understand,

"He's not guilty at all. I will be responsible in every way for this. I don't want to hurt her."

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

finally after a few hours of twitching and being abused, I came out of the principal's room. I opened the exit carefully so as not to attract attention, however, apparently I was wrong. already many students were lined up in the front corridor of the room just to peek and eavesdrop.

they immediately scatter when they see me at the door.

I walked down the corridor while walking slowly, with my famous face looking at each class. In my heart I muttered, "Elia, are you okay?"

arriving in the teacher's room, Amanda greeted me inside with her flat face.there was no more smile and twinkle when she saw me, as if she still held anger and hurt because of my honesty, she said,

"You spread it?"

"For the Impas" he answered briefly.

"Didn't our business last yesterday end Amanda? you accept so do I! I thought we could be best friends after this, but you betrayed a promise.I didn't think you could do something like this!"

"Who promised? and who receives it? for me, if I can't have you, then it's better to see you miserable like I feel. I'd rather not see you and him again than I have to remember your relationship behind my back."

I snorted, shaking my head slowly, "You're out of your mind!" I said.

I immediately went to my desk, I took the cardboard below, and I put together one by one my things in it. Amanda kept messing up, disrupting my concentration.she was grabbing from the table.

"Leave the boy Damian! if you are concerned about his education you should have already married.You do not see, how does the school respond to your existence now? it was certain that the child also felt the same, even worse because they were the same age!"

I keep tidying my desk without caring about what he said, I look at the panorama of the hill from the window.I will always remember his memory and I keep it well, become the most beautiful memories during teaching. although at first half-heartedly, it seems that now I will miss the profession and atmosphere of this place later.

"Leave him Damian! it's not too late to change everything!"

"Enough!! I have no business with you anymore!"

Today, apparently I have to go home sooner even before carrying out my duties teaching in the first hour, but there are also those who need to be grateful, at least I am still able to keep my promise to always protect him.

Elijah, for your sake I am willing to stop being a teacher...
