The Mermaid's Last Wish

Chapter 47 - Class President

The room was filled with an aromatic perfume. Erina was there having a hard time to focus at the lecture. She have a hard time sleeping this past few days. 

"Why are you sleeping there?" Their teacher wanted to call her attention but her head fell down on her desk. The students were shocked at the scene. 

Morpheus arose from his seat while Gavin almost stood up for her but he silently choose to stay silent and watch him carrying her out of the room. He was worried when Morpheus didn't come back for fifteen minutes. 

"Ma'am, may I go out?" He stood up and went out quickly. 

"What happened?" Their teacher slowly dropped her high-graded spectacles to her nose. 

"Nothing, Ma'am." Riza answered while Nancy rolled her eyes. 

"You, Miss Nancy. Could you please stand up and answer this equation?" 

Nancy wanted to drop her jaw but she controlled it instead. 

"Aren't you going in front? You just rolled your eyes." 

The students kept silent when they knew that their teacher was getting angry soon. They knew that she would burst her anger to them. They were frightened about what would happen next. 

They were having a break time when Nancy just sighed deeply and stared at her snacks. "This is so disgusting." 

"Why?" Delilah was confused why Nancy have those kind of snacks. 

"It's my mother who made this. She wanted to punish me by eating this." She rolled her eyes and there was Theo having a good time with his friends. He got her lunchbox and saw how delicious it was. 

"This is delicious, Nancy. Why don't you try this?" He put the sushi to her mouth and her eyes widened. 

"What happened?" Delilah got a sushi from her lunchbox. "This is delicious." 

Nancy changed her mind. She wanted more of the lunchbox her mother made. She wanted to be obedient just for now. She wanted to talk to her mother why it was her lunchbox like this and not having an allowanvce per week. 

Connie was busy watching her at her back. She was silently looking for her actions. At that time, she was havin an envy because she knew that Nancy was more beaitiful than her. She was comparing herself for not being popular like her. Let's say, she was blaming her parents why she was born like that. She was born poor. 

Most of her time was having a prt-time job at a restaurant. The salary was enough to fulfill her needs but she was having a hard time for her parents. Her father was always getting her salary when he needs to treat his peers with drinks and foods. Her mother was busy at the market, selling some dairy products and fishes. 

She was wondering how Nancy treating her mother not right. It wasn't a good idea where you humiliate your mother without her presence. She was jealous of her too, for Theo likes her. 

She looked at Theo enjoying himself watching Nancy eating her snacks. In her thoughts, they would be a cute couple. But, she shook her head and enjoyed her food instead. 

Lily was looking oitside the window. She was wondering about Sebastian why he wasn't responding to her messages. She texted him, "How's your day? I'll be waiting for you at the same place." 

He didn't call her back and she was worried about him. She wanted to find him but she didn'nt know how. She searched his social media accounts and found nothing and when she browsed his i********:, there she saw where he was. 

"Where are you going?" Rossana was curious about her. She saw how worried Lily was. She knew that she was having a problem but never asked her. She knew how independent she was. 

"I'll be back at one o'clock. There's an emergency. Thank you!" She grabbed her backpack and went at the back of the building. She climbed the wall and got down quickly. She ran to the bus station and wanted to see him. Time wasn't slow where she arrived at the hospital. 

"Where's the room of Mr. Sebastian Lucas?" 

"Are you his relative, Ma'am?" The nurse was asking her but she felt her tongue not moving. 

"Yes." A man was taller than her. He was wearing a black suit and a light blue neck tie. "I've been waiting for you since yesterday." He walked at the right side and said calmly, "This way, Madam." 

She could hear her breaths while walking with him. Her thoughts were killing her and most of all, her heart was hurting. She couldn't bear the pain she was feeling now. Her anxiety was attacking her helplessly. 

"Never worry, Madam. He's fine. He's just hoping to see you." 

Her heart was skipping a beat when she heard him say that. It relieved her mind and heart but there was a little worry there. 

When she opened the door, she saw him sitting beside his mother. She couldn't control herself. She gave him a tight hug where she wanted to cry. 

"Stop crying. I'm not dead." He chuckled softly while she was giving him little punches on his chest. 

"Stupid." 

"You're worried about me." He hugged her back and tapped her head. "Never worry about me. Just stay calm. I'm not leaving." He was really serious about her. He knew she would come to him and soon, he would make her heart soften and he would be the happiest man in the world when it would ever come true. 

"Stupid." She chuckled at how she looked. She wiped her eyes and stepped backward from him but he grabbed her waist. 

"Stop being stupid too." He whispered on her right ear that made her feel red on her cheeks. 

She closed her eyes and shook her head about blushing because of him. She didn't want him to see her like that.

"Mom." They heard her groan. He called a nurse immediately and waited for the result. 

The doctor called his attention when he was looking down on the ground. Lily was tapping his back simply telling him that she was there for him. The conversation between Sebastian and the doctor was fifteen minute talk. 

She was patiently waiting outside and worried about him. She wanted to stay by his side and watch themselves grow more. 

It was sixteen minute when Sebastian went out. His facial expression wasn't good. She lifted his chin and saw his eyes worried. 

"My mom is okay." He hugged her and tears went falling down. 

"Yes, your mom is okay." She tapped his back and freed each other. 

"I know she could do it." Sebastian was happily celebrating the good news. He was excited to see his mother smiling again. 

The space between Sebadtian's mother and Lily was not that far away from each other. They were starung at each other and his mother coughed a little and said, "So, you're his inspiration, huh?" 

"I don't know what you're talking about, Madam." Lily lowered her head and bkt her lower lip. 

"Don't you know how much I love my son?" 

She lifted up her head and saw his mother looking directly to her eyes. "Yes, Madam."

"Go away from him." 

Her eyes went small. "What should I do, Madam?" 

"It will be alright if you'll stay away from him. You're not doing well. Your relationship will not work." She looked away and got her drinks. 

"But, you're mistaken. We're not lovers yet." 

Her mother chuckled a little and said, "I'm just kidding. I wanted to know on how would you react. She started to try standing on her bed though, she felt feeble, she forced herself. She was almost stumbled her feet but Lily guided her to the restroom. 

"You're a good girl. Thank you." She gave her a smile and let her do her hygiene there. 

The ambiance of the room was calm and peaceful. This was the first Lily get to know Sebastian's mother. She didn't expect to meet her in person but look, it was making her comfortable. It was like she was a part of their family. She knew that they would be good in relationship. 

Sebastian arrived at the room to give the dinner. It was a night full of memories together with his Mother and Lily. He wanted not to end this forever. He wanted her to stay by his side. He was really sincere aboit his feelings and wanted to prove it right. The only thing was bothering his mind, does she want him back? 

It was really hard to tell for them. Perhaps, they were getting-to-know each other and destiny would tell when should be the right time and place for this so called-love. Waiting for it would be successful soon.

"Oh, you're back." His mother was smiling at him and hugged each other. 

He carried her back to her bed and covered the quilt over her body. 

"You should go home." His mother touched his hand and held it for awhile. "I'll let you go with her." 

He kissed her forehead and gave a genuine smile. "I love you, Mom."
