MY FIRST HEARTBREAK

Today is undoubtedly the hottest I've ever felt. The temperature's almost 35 degrees and it's very humid. But it cannot compare to my embarrassment a while ago. I went out to process some documents. It was blaring hot and dry and I was about to pass out. Luckily, there was a car. Now that I think of it, it was actually weird to have that kind of car in the middle of this small town. But, anyway, there was that car and it was open, so its air conditioning was leaking. So I pretended that I was waiting for someone and stood there feeling refreshed. Suddenly, I heard someone crying. Yes, crying. Since I was raised to be curious about some interesting things, I looked for the source of the sound ( washing I did not ). There, was a handsome man looking so "expensive" and crying. I could see his tears, and hear his sobs. I did not know what to do. I was flabbergasted, so I did what I thought was the right thing to do. I asked him if he was okay and went inside his car. Yes, people, I did that. His look was priceless. My embarrassment too. So I quietly got out of the car, and ran as if my life depended on it. Wait, there's more. When I was a few steps away, I turned back and said "Fighting!" "Why did you do that?" my friend asked me, confusion on her face. "I don't know. It felt like it was the right thing to do at that moment." "You think so? " "Why are you like that? You should have been comforting me." I told her with disbelief in my eyes. "Well, maybe because that man could be our new boss who wanted to be away from the city, but does not want to stop working, so he buys land and some properties as well as this place so he can still have some income while staying here. And besides, you told me yesterday that we were going together to get those documents. But, you went first. " "Ooohhhh bhabe, I am so sorry about yesterday. I did not mean to. I was just pressured to go yesterday. Do you want to go and get some coffee? And, he can't be our boss. Maybe" Oh well, I guess not everything turns out what you want it to be. Because parked at the entrance is a car I know very well. "Oh no, no, no, please no." Have I told you that I am a teacher? No? Then, now you know. I work at this private school in my small town. That's why I never really think about what my friend told me. "Good Morning, Miss Tasha!" greeted George, the school's guard at that hour. "Good Morning, George!" I greeted him back. "Do you know who is the owner of the car?" "Mr. Chan said that he was going to be the new owner of the school. He's at his office now." "Oh, thank you for that. See you around George, I gotta go" Oh My God. That Princess's mouth never missed its prediction. She is that friend who told me about the possibility of that man I met being my boss. Surely, he won't remember such a presence as mine. Right? I mean that happened a month ago already. Let's stop thinking about it and focus on today's class. "Good Morning, class" "Good Morning, Miss Tasha" "How's your day so far?" "Mine's so-so" "Why is that so Kevin?" "I slept late" "Let me guess, you were playing games, right?" I guess that's the correct answer, since Kevin's laughing. "How about you people in this classroom?" I asked the whole class. "We're good, Miss Tasha" they answered together. "That's good to hear." Knock, knock, knock. I looked at the door and saw the principal. I was nervous for a bit. Luckily, he was alone. "Good Morning, Mr. Chan" I greeted him "Good Morning, Mr. Principal!" My class did the same. "Good Morning! As you already know, we have a new owner. I am touring him around the school. I want you to meet Mr. Bhang." Oh no. I am wrong. The principal isn't alone. He is also here. In the flesh, he looks as dashing as ever. Hopefully, he won't remember me. " He is Mr. Lawrence Bhang. He will be your new president. " "Good Morning, Mr. Bhang!" my students and I greeted him. "Good Morning! Let's take care of each other in the future." He said while looking directly in my eyes. It is as if he is remembering something weird. " Well, you can continue your class now, Ms. Tasha. We will have another introduction next week. I am still making sure that Mr. Bhang is familiar with the place. We're going to go now." "With pleasure, Mr. Principal. Have a good day! I hope you'll like it here, Mr. Bhang! He smiles, "I will Miss Tasha". And they go, and I started my lesson for the day. I guess I am just overthinking. He looks so good and I am just a 4 feet 11 inch woman, with morena skin and not a high nose. I am your very definition of ordinary. With his looks and wealth, his type must be like my friend Princess. Tall, porcelain skin, smart, and every definition of perfect. I can definitely see that from the way they are talking now. They look so good together that it feels bad to interrupt them. So, I walked away.
