Life Without Scars
BEAUTY'S POV
Beauty is a beautiful young lady, she was admired by all men that came her way, some through a far away glance.
Her beauty radiated everywhere she went and she lit the men's hearts on fire.
She is a human, but she is talked about even down to the Wolf territory.
She lives in a small town in London, the only child of her parents who are still very much alive. She works in a school across her street as a class teacher. Such a beautiful lady with a beautiful heart.
"Can you get me my drugs over the table" mum pointed to the table, then quickly withdrew her hands to cover her mouth as a dry cough found its way out
"Easy mum" Beauty quickly stretched her hands to get the drugs as the table was right behind her "Here mum" she dropped the drugs and rushed to the kitchen to get some warm water
"Thanks, darling" Mum slowly carried it, she paused at some moment to suppress the pain she felt at some point then she swallowed the required drugs.
Beauty stood very close to her in case her help is needed "Sorry mum, you would get better"
"Thanks, baby, I don't know why your father is still sleeping by this time of the morning"
"Mum, he wants to rest besides he had a very busy day yesterday," Beauty said as she carried the drugs to keep where they are supposed to be kept
"You always stand up for your father, you never do that for me" Mum squeezed her hand and gave a soft smile " I hope your kids won't do the same"
Here we go again, we can never have a single conversation without mum bringing up marriage, kids, and husband. She should understand that I am not ready for such.
"Mum… " Beauty groaned
"What, you are not getting any younger, it's not that easy for ladies, a guy can get married when he is 80 or 90 too but when a lady reaches 30, her body begins to fail"
"Mum, I am just 27, I have a lot of time besides you are way more than 30 and you look just as strong for any man to want to marry you…. Please mum let's just have a simple conversation without all this coming up" Beauty slowly arranged her hair and kissed her on her forehead and immediately stood to go "I have to go to work, I am almost late so I have to go now"
"OK dear"
"Stay safe and be careful mum, if you need my help just call me, I would be here in no time…. Let me check on dad first" Beauty went upstairs to check on why dad was still in his room by that time.
But before Beauty reached his room, he heard his voice talking like he was on a phone call "Dad" Beauty whispered as she opened the door slowly
"Oh My Angel" Dad was already done making his call "Come here"
Beauty went close and she hugged her dad
"Hope you slept well, dad? we were wondering why you were still sleeping by this time"
"I wasn't sleeping, the call is from your grandma"
"A strong woman, she is still fighting death"
"Ohh yes, she called to tell me that she is a little down with the sickness" Dad stood up to get his glass to see clearly "And she needs our help"
"OK, did she say the amount she needs?"
"No, I would call later to know"
"OK sir, oh how I have missed her"
Dad stood up and danced around the table slowly as grandma would
"Just like that" Beauty laughed
"And beauty went to join him to sleep," Mum said to herself downstairs.
"She would always dance with me, especially when I am sad" Dad continued "She was always strong, a strong woman"
"Yes she is" Beauty nodded
"You are off to work right?"
"Yes"
"Alright let's go downstairs together"
Beauty helped her dad carry his phone, and they both headed downstairs
"What happened?" Mum asked immediately she beauty and dad came down towards her
"It's our little secret," Dad said
"Ohh I see" mum smiled
"I would see you all later today, I love you guys" Beauty blew a kiss and rushed out
"Love you too baby," Dad said
Beauty walks to her work because she is not mobile at the moment, but she does get lifts sometimes when she meets someone on the way.
"Hi" Mrs Selina her neighbour said as she came close to her with the car
"Oh Mrs Selina, how are you doing?"
"Great, come in let me drop you off" she slowed down for Beauty to get it
"Thank you so much, Mrs Selina"
"You are welcome"
"How is my baby Joy doing?"
"She is good, she's already in school, how is work?" she adjusted her steering and quickly looked at her
"Work is great"
"How is mum feeling?"
"Hoping to get great results"
"Here we are" Mrs Selina slowed down again as she faced the school beauty works
"Thanks so much" Beauty showed gratitude, a rare display
"It's alright Beauty… you are welcome," Mrs Selina said "Have a nice day at work"
"OK ma, have a nice day too" Beauty turned to get inside, she could hear the voice of some teachers already in the classroom while some classes were waiting for their teachers
She hurriedly went to her office to get her lesson note, what she would discuss with her students was written on it. She took it and went straight to her class
"I am sorry guys for coming late," She said arranging her table
"So today we are going to talk about plants" she carried her marker and wrote the word on the board.
Just the way normal students behave, few listen while others would be distracted.
She noticed a guy behind really causing distractions in the class, then she pointed towards him "You get up…. I am going to ask you a question based on what I just said and if you can't answer, you are leaving my class" she was upset "Why is the dispersal of seeds important?"
The stood still and looked at some of his mates, trying to uproot the answer from them but he couldn't
"Leave this class" she almost screamed
He carried his bag and left. "Who can answer it?" she asked.
A female student, her favourite actually who was seated at the front raised her hand
"OK, go on Maria"
"If the seeds simply fell and grew beneath the parent plants, they would be too overcrowded and would be starved of nutrients. As the rule of nature suggests only the fittest shall survive. So it is important that the seeds are dispersed over a wide area where they stand a better chance of finding the right condition to grow. Seeds can be dispersed in a number of different ways. They may be carried by wind, water or animals. Some plants even shoot the seeds out explosively " Maria loves explaining in details
" Perfect " Beauty said as she summoned the class to applaud her.
Maria has always been putting her best in her academics right from time, a humble and smart girl.
The students took note of how she sent the boy that was disturbing out and they knew she would do the same for any of them, so they maintained silence as she continued the class.
She was just about to end the class before the principal came in with a little boy that seem to be 15 years old
"Excuse me" The principal, Mrs Sarah said to Beauty as she entered the class with the boy "You have a new student," She said looking at everyone
"This is grade 10," She said to him "Your classmate and your teacher" she pointed according to how she called them
"Hi," he said to everyone
"You are very welcome dear, you can have a seat, I am almost done already so you would have time to spend with your colleagues," she said pointing to an empty chair close to Maria
"Thank you," he said going towards the chair
"OK then, I would be going now," Mrs Sarah said
"OK"
"I love the way you handle them" Mrs Sarah whispered to beauty
"Thank you" Beauty smiled
"You are welcome here" she went close to him again and repeated what she had said earlier "I am Beauty, what's yours?"
"Jadie"
"Nice name" she moved back to look at the students "Well that would be all for today, you can introduce yourself to him later when I leave the class" Beauty carried the books she came in with her handbag and left.
She went straight to her office to rest for she was going back to take another lecture with them after the break.
Some married men always choose to be unfortunate, they never respect their boundaries and leave some ladies alone
"Hey pretty," Mr Brown said going close to touch her hand immediately after she entered the office
