She was still on her underneath clothes and when she came closer to me I felt insecure since she was a type that could bring a scene anywhere, especially now when all the attention was towards us.
When she was closer, Monica went down on her knees and begun crying out using my pants as her handkerchief,
"I miss you Jared,come back baby and let's start it over again? " She really sorry," Ever since you left my life has been meaningless, come on baby. I'll make up to the mistakes I did and I'll give you the desires of your heart, how I wish to see you being a father to my kids one day and live happily ever after!"
"Noo Monica, please don't do this.Am afraid that I have taken a new path and I already have a wife and children,am sorry I now belong
"What's up Monica?" I boringly responded.
to someone else." I had to cheat her so that she would leave me alone.
I would then watch her cry anyhow pouring crocodile tears all over the place,few moments later she had the audacity to call Jaime and told him," it failed, Jared doesn't want to see me anymore. Think of another plan!!"
Afterwards she would hang up and go back to her room as if nothing happened,she was still the same old Monica, Jaime was no longer my best friend but a traitor, he'd been having s*x with her before we broke up. The bitter part was that he wasn't going to be sorry and even kept on following me even when I tried to find a reason for moving on.
During those days,I had a heart until she broke it into peaces hard to assemble, luckily,I had found a person who had just made it back even better. Malia was the best lady as many would say a perfect match and every time I thought about her my mind was put at ease.
The next morning,I was to have a class and luckily her class was the only one I had been assigned,it would even be better because as the norm has usually been,the first days are usually for introductions so that the students would know the kind of a person their teachers was.
Now this was starting to build a concern since I had previously attempted to shoot one of my very own students. Walking into the class had to be the most difficult task than the lesson itself.
As we all now Mondays are usually full of headaches and it took more than courage that day for me to let the students know the kind of a person Mr Jared was,
"Hello everyone?" I said without any response, including the sweetheart I had in my mind, Malia. She looked gorgeous at the front desk.
"I can relate that our first encounter was not appealing as it should have been but you have to learn that I am not a enemy to any of you but a teacher. My work is to equip everyone with what it takes to make a world a better place,most people outside here have body without souls and the saddest part is that people are dead inside. So help me make them live and any of this won't be possible without you telling me what you want. We all want solutions!!"
I would then finish my speech as I noticed the class in total silence as if they were moved, this was going to be the nicest class of my career as I could tell from not only the sudden reaction,but also from what I felt inside.
I had to end at that point when I thought that for learning to be held,a vital message had to be passed and by the look of things it surely was!
All I would hear when walking outside was just a little bit of mumbling and thought of it to be completely normal.
On my way it didn't come to my surprise that I met the girl, yeah the one who had earlier warned me again,
"Mr Jared, you look cool today!!" She said as I tried out exploring her name through the conversation since she had no mark on,
"Talia,am Talia from Luanda." That day I came to learn out so much about her,she even came to my apartment and we talked so much about teacher-student relations and she said the fellow students had no reason to be uncomfortable around me. Talia even yearned to be a part of my class but unfortunately,she wasn't.
That day I came to learn that there were so much about her besides that pretty face, could you believe it that she had a close family member from my class. I was more astonished after she broke it down to me and told that she was her sister.
Saying that Talia was the first ever friend I made at Oclahama University would be an understatement. She was more than a parent to me if that equals a great person.
The only concern was that I loved her so much, however,like a sister.
I would never imagine something more than that between the two of us.
