Two: The consequences of loving someone

“I like you,” She said without hesitation, and with those shocking and flattering but dangerous words, teacher Jonas was speechless and was not able to say a thing for a moment.

She stared at her beloved teacher Jonas’ eyes, and with all cheerfulness, she smiled.

“There’s no need to get shocked, sir. I just came here to say I like you. No pressures or any force. I’m not asking you to like me back, and you can avoid me anytime,” She said as she paused.

She bit her lower lip as she tightened her grip on her skirt, “I just want you to know how I feel, and you’re free to decide what to do, sir,” She said, and then she stood up to face her beloved teacher Jonas.

“Remember, sir, that whatever decision you make, I will respect it and remember that I will always be by your side,” She said as she smiled and then she motioned to leave, but before she could even leave, she felt someone’s hands held her hands, and she knew who owned those hands even though she didn’t turn around to see who’s that.

It was obviously her beloved teacher Jonas.

“Why do you like me?” He asked. She turned around to see her beloved teacher Jonas staring at her.

With a smiling face and hoping eyes, she looked at her beloved teacher Jonas. “Because you’re the first person who ever showed care to me?” She said with all affection in her eyes.

“Since that day, I have always admired and loved you from afar. I know that I’m still young. You may see that my affection towards you is nothing but infatuation because of my fifteen-year-old young heart. But this is what I can assure you—“She said as she stared at her beloved teacher Jonas.

“I can assure you that right now, my feelings towards you are getting stronger, and every night, I feel like I’m getting crazy thinking about you. I know that I’m still young to be able to understand what love is, but this is not just a mere infatuation, sir---- I love you,” she said with no mixture of doubts.

And with those words from the pretty girl’s pinkish lips, he felt so happy that his heart skipped a beat. It was the first time someone told him, ‘I love you,’ and it was the first time someone loved him from afar.

He stared at the pretty girl’s dazzling eyes because first, he doesn’t even know what to say or what to respond. Being honest, he loved what he heard from the pretty girl’s mouth, and he would live for that moment.

As he’s stunned because of the sudden confession from the pretty little girl, he was silent for a moment. He was not able to move when suddenly he received a kiss from the pretty little girl.

For a moment, while no one was around, while they could still hear the chirping of the birds and the whispers of the wind, while everything was baffling yet romantically exciting, she moved to give her beloved teacher Jonas a heart-warming and thrilling kiss.

She couldn’t control herself. She knew that this will make things worse but her heart is having a race right now. She’s going crazy.

He clenched his fist as he received that smack from the pretty little girl. He was stunned as he stared at her dazzling eyes that’s just half an inch away from his eyes. They we’re so close, and everything was quiet as both of them enjoyed that thrilling kiss they’re having.

From that moment, he knew that it was wrong. He knew at its immoral against his profession. It was totally wrong to kiss and love your own student, but those immoral thoughts in his mind went completely useless, for he knew that both of them liked the kiss.

Having mutual feelings for each other, the pretty little girl and her beloved teacher Jonas had to hide the affectionate relationship they having from the world.

They had to hide that they were both in love with each other from this judgemental society because they knew that the world would harshly judge them while not considering their feelings.

A year went by, and their feelings for each other got deeper and deeper as they secretly dated and loved each other. They made sure no one would see them on their dates. They made sure that the fact that they are dating will be hidden from the world, and that fact will just be between teacher Jonas and his pretty little girl.

Everything seemed like a fairy tale. He loves her, and she loves him: they were happy--- very happy that they can spend a whole day just by being with each other but just as they say. Fairy tales are just illusions created by a playful mind, and happy endings are just infatuations, and all actions have a consequence.

The little sins they made and those immoral acts they did had to come to an end as they needed to face the consequences of their actions.

It was Saturday. In the evening, the pretty little girl called for her beloved to stay in their house for the night since she’s alone and that her parents are away for a business trip.

It was night. It was cold, freezing for it’s already the fifteenth of January, and that winter was already reigning over the night. The two people in love were alone under that cold night. All they could think of to lessen the cold was to hug each other. After all, they are lovers. Lovers that are madly in love with each other.

Unfortunately, it was that time that they couldn’t control themselves. They did what other lovers do under a frigid night on a comfortable bed.

That night, the fifteenth of January at ten o’clock in the evening, they are both naked and covered with a huge and thick blanket. Under those thick blankets are their naked and sweating bodies enjoying the taste of each other. They were boldly making love under that cold evening of January, and they both loved it.

They are doing right now. Making love and having sex might be immoral to other people’s eyes, but for them, it’s perfect. They were living for that moment. Having the one you love in your arms was one of the perfect feelings in their lives.

Making love with that person you want to be with in the future is a perfect scenario that no one. Even that judgemental world could erase. It is perfect, thrilling, and enjoying, but sometimes happiness needs to come to an end.

On that very night, while they were making love and moaning for each other, the pretty little girl’s parents arrived. With all confusion on their faces, they went to find where those moanings are coming from.

And to their surprise, they witnessed a dirty horror right before their eyes. It was their precious, pretty little child. Their only gem and treasure was having sex with her teacher Jonas.

Right before their eyes were their naked precious only daughter and her respected teacher Jonas. They thought he would take good care of their child, but it was just a lie because the person they trusted the most betrayed them and used their most beloved gem.

For the two love birds, it was fantastic. It was amazing being with the one you love. But in the eyes of a parent who only worked hard for the well-being of its child, it was a complete horror. It’s a terrifying horror that should never happen.

At that very moment, the pretty little girl’s father grabbed her beloved teacher Jonas and beat him into a pulp. It was hard for her to watch her beloved being whipped like a punching bag, but she couldn’t do anything but cry for her beloved.

Their love affair was forbidden anyway.

And in the worst scenario, her beloved teacher Jonas had to leave the house half-naked and barefooted with lots of bruises and wounds on his body on that cold and windy evening of January. She had to see her beloved teacher Jonas run away like a battered dog escaping from prison.

It was hard for her, and she couldn’t do anything but cry and scream for his name.

And that very scene that the pretty little girl’s parents witnessed had to be buried under the ground. That very scene of humiliation should be kept a secret until the day they die, and no foul mouths should say it.

The pretty little girl’s parents had to do something to not make this mess a bigger one, even if it’s disgusting for them to see the face of the traitor and immoral teacher Jonas. They had to meet him and force him to leave the school for the pretty little girl’s sake.

No word will come out. No one shall know what happened between them. His license as a teacher will never be put in danger, and the life of his beloved pretty little girl won’t be ruined if HE LEAVES THE SCHOOL AND THE CITY.

Everything will be placed back in its place. Everything will be okay if he leaves and never meets his beloved pretty little girl again. He had to agree. He had to say yes and vanish in that very school and in that very city, not for him, nor for his license, but for his beloved’s future.

He knew from the start that their ending will be tragic, but he took the risk and did what will make him happy. That was to love that pretty little girl. Their end was sad and immoral, but if there’s something that he regrets, that is---- maybe making love in his beloved’s parent’s house?

He never regretted loving that pretty little girl. He never regretted what they did that cold night because he knew that everything they did made both of them happy. He knew both of them never regretted anything.

In the end, without seeing his beloved pretty little girl, he left the school. He left the city. He even left the country and went to a foreign country to study again. he took his master’s degree for a better future.

He needed to work harder for his beloved pretty little girl, but fate was playful, and cupid was evil. After staying a couple of years in a foreign country, he met a woman that he would never expect would be his future fiancée.

For a decade, they both worked hard to be in their successful shoes that they were in right now. They were both happy that they were both planning for the future. Because of that future, the past had been forgotten as if that piece of the past was just a mere scene in a long tragic dream, a mere past that no one would remember if no one talks about it.

And that past that everyone had forgotten came back in the present and might eventually ruin the future.

In that very crosswalk, under that cold afternoon of January fifteen, teacher Jonas has seen a glimpse of a pretty little girl with long pretty hair and dazzling eyes coming across them.

It was her, he thought, that pretty little girl he once loved. He wanted to stop and have a glimpse of that little girl, but he couldn’t. It was too late because she’s gone. What’s left in his sight is his fiancée, Clara.

And that ends our story of teacher Jonas who once met a girl he loved the most but unfortunately never got to have a happy ending.

By the way, you may be wondering who am I and why do I know all of the exact details of our teacher Jonas’ epic and tragic love story?

It is because I am that pretty little girl with long pretty hair and dazzling eyes. I am that fifteen-year-old pretty little girl who has actually seduced my beloved teacher Jonas. I am that pretty little girl who has given everything for her beloved.

And to end this story, let me introduce myself to you guys, as you all know, I am teacher Jonas’ beloved, his pretty little girl and my name is Clara. I’m 25 years old, and I’m actually a pediatrician.

And here’s good news, I’m getting married.

We met and loved each other but fate says that we are never meant to be. Well, it actually depends on you and me. Whether we obey fate or we play with fate, just like how fate plays with us.
