The 18 Year Bride
Third Person Love Statement

"No sir, not at all. I wasn't smart, even before I knew you. So it's impossible to think so."

I became silent, if answered clearly it would seem that I was the one who started paying attention to him. The atmosphere between us was silent for a while, until suddenly..

"Sir? Mr Damian you're inside?"

Someone knocked on the door.

Whether to be grateful or to curse his presence, I was obviously at least saved from the clumsy atmosphere between me and Elijah. I snorted, because we were drunk, because there was an unexpected event, which was the presence of someone in the midst of both of us. It would be very bad if anyone else saw me as a teacher and Elijah as a student in a quiet room, away from anyone else's visit.

Elijah Mondar-Mandir is trying to find a good hiding place, while the people outside who we don't know who keep knocking call my name,

"Hide there, Hurry up!" I said commanding Elijah while looking back at the table full of books in the corner of the room.

Then when Elijah was there, and I already felt the situation was starting to be conducive. I welcome the person's advice.

“Wait a minute!" I said screeching as I walked towards the door and opened it.

I was a little awkward because it turns out that Amanda's mom, she smiled at me but made me feel sad and reluctant to reply.

"Sorry Mr. Damian, I'm looking for you to give me this bag!"

I looked at my bag in his hand, "Oh, thank you."

"When I came home I saw Mr. Damian's bag still on the table, I think maybe you're having business until you haven't had time to pick up the bag so I took the initiative to help by giving this bag to Mr. Damian, out of fear that the teacher's room will be closed before Mr. Damian returns.”

"I was looking around the school, I wanted to drive straight to Mr. Damian's house if I didn't see him, but luckily there were students who saw him come in here."

I immediately picked up the bag he gave me, hoping our business was done and he got out of here. But unfortunately, he even went into the room somehow for any more business,

"Sir Damian what are you doing here? This room is very dusty, not good for your health."

"I'm looking for an old Encyclopedia book in a new library, there's no book so I'm trying to find it here." I said look for a reason.

"Rajin once ha ha ha, whereas Mr. Damian is a foreign language teacher. But still want to learn another branch of science. let me help you find it, sir?"

I held my breath, how much this woman made me really uncomfortable. She's more aggressive than Elijah, my wife. It turns out that around me there are people who are more sickening, namely women who are looking for opportunities to get the attention of the opposite sex.

"Oh, don't be Amanda. I can look for it all by myself I want to read maybe there's another good book."

He turned his head around and looked at me, "Mom Amanda?" he said it emphasized the confusion within him.

"Yes, what is it?" my timpal.

“Bu Amanda, Mr. Damian. Sounds pretty awkward outside of class, right? How about we just call each other names, without any frills calling sir and Mom, Damian?"

I kept quiet, occasionally watching Elijah behind the corner desk of the room. Is she okay? it's so dusty in there, he must have trouble breathing. But serving these women seems not to take a little time.

The atmosphere became a little awkward, to be honest I was not surprised at all by Amanda's statement. Too bad, I don't have any feelings for him. I just consider him a regular co-worker.

"I'm sorry, honestly now I'm busy with my own business."

Amanda chuckled at the awkwardness she made, "Oh, no. I mean did you just reject me?"

"It seems, it is." Flat answer.

She looks so hurt from my rejection, her eyes are teary and her smile is fading. What can I do? Everyone has a feeling, and that feeling is their responsibility. Being happy or hurt, is a risk if he puts his hope in someone.

“Then, please forget my love statement just now. I don't want any obstacles at work either!"

"Yes, okay." Answer's short.

Then he left regardless of me, he rubbed his eyes maybe wiping away the tears. My head became dizzy, it felt like my problem was increasing, because my coworkers were putting feelings for me, but I just wanted to calm down, come to teach and go home.

Shortly after Amanda's departure, Elijah came out of hiding. His face returned moody, more sour than before. Her hair was so dusty it was full of spider webs. His eyes are bright brown, getting brighter because of the reflection of sunlight that began to turn orange.

"Why?" my many.

“Barusan Bu Amanda expressed her feelings for Mr. Damian, and you rejected him. Is it because we're married?"

I looked at him, cleaning the cobwebs in his hair. Her lips shriveled and her eyes twinkled waiting for an answer from me.

“What do you think?"

"Why didn't Damian say he was married to me?"

I laughed, "No!"

"Why? Is it because Mr. Damian has not accepted my presence?"

"Because I am a teacher, and you are a disciple."

He was pensive, probably still digesting my words. Now that I realized that Elijah was such a fool, his thoughts were very short and simple. Like this is a teenager, they just get carried away and follow selfish desires alone without thinking about the impact of the consequences in the future.

When Elijah was moody, my heart was filled. It seemed that she was jealous and worried about our marriage, there was fear in her eyes when I turned to another woman, and strangely why I seemed to understand the feeling that was emanating from her current gaze. then suddenly she grabbed my hand that was still busy cleaning her hair, and grasped it tightly.

"Can I also fall in love with Mr Damian?"

I took a deep breath, I was at a loss for words to face women. I was able to reject Amanda heartlessly, but now that I was exhausted from saying the same thing, my mind was raging on two options, I was confused.

"Don't expect me too much."
