My Beloved Tutor

Take a look inside Clara, He Said , pointing at the door that leads to a hall filled with people dancing and talking, what do you see? Clara did as he asked, she looked Inside the hall and saw them, people dancing, women dresses in beautiful attractive gowns, men dressed in nice suits, talking and dancing with them. She looked back at David with a sigh, but David...... "Now take a look at yourself and me, what difference do you see? He interrupted. Clara looked at herself, at the dress she was wearing that was not in class with the ones worn by the women inside, she looked at him and he was dressed in a nice suit, she knew what he wanted to prove but she doesn't want to accept it, David please...... Do you see it? what I am talking about? I belong here Clara, but you don't. take a look at yourself, take a look at what you wore to a party. This is my best dress you know it David, I will never intentionally humiliate you, she choked on her tears and closed her eyes, you used to like me wearing this remember? you used to tell me how good it looks on me, we went to look at fireworks and you told me I looked pretty in this dress. A lot of things happened to me during the past two weeks, you didn't even bother to look for me, why David???? David wiped his face in a frustrated manner, listen Clara, I already told you this, things has changed, I'm not the same David anymore,I'm not the same David you used to know, I have changed Clara, I now drink and dine with celebrities, big tycoons and business men, my life has changed Clara and I adapted to it But you, he pointed his finger at her, you never change, year in year out nothing new happens to you. We watched fireworks two years ago and you still have this dress, you never buy something new, you keep reusing everything you have. How can I buy something new David? I've been paying back our debts, the ones I got because of you, you promised to pay me back, how so you expect me to buy something new?? how can I do that?? Listen, Clara I know I am owning you and I will pay you back, I promise, just let me have that money I have my eyes on, I will find you and I will pay you back every single some but I am sorry, like I said before, you are not the woman for me, we are not in the same social circle so please stop coming to find me , I don't want my new friends to see you or know that I have ever associated with you. Go!!!! he heaved a deep sigh and turned and walked into the hall. Clara watched him go and she saw him approach a a beautiful blonde who held his arms, they joined another group of people. Tears trailed down her cheeks and she didn't bother to wipe it off. She looked at her dressing, she had dressed so much so that he won't feel embarrassed by her but still he was. The black dress she had on was bought for her by her mother,it was the only expensive clothe she had and David had loved it the first time and other times she had worn it, except for today. The black shoes she was putting on belonged to her mother and although she knew it didn't go with the dress but she had worn it nonetheless because it was the only thing of hers that didn't have a hole in it watching David inside, she knew she need to stop deceiving herself, he will never want or love her again. She turned and climbed down the stairs, she went to the fountain and sat on it tears mixed with the water. She closed her eyes and snippets of a night two weeks ago flashed her mind. she shook her head sharply, she had wanted to tell him about it tonight, even though she knew he might hate her after finding out but she didn't like keeping things like that from him and something of such nature but who would have taught that he would reject her again like he did that night. She wiped her tears, sobbing softly and listening to to the distinct music, in there was the man of her dreams, probably dancing with another woman and here she was crying even attending the party just because of him and going through all the trouble of sneaking in. . . . . you shouldn't let him get to you like that, someone said and she turned her head sharply, she could make out a shadow near the animal shaped flowers, you shouldn't allow any man such. Who are you? she asked standing up from the fountain just someone who feels sorry for you. Clara wiped her tears away, but I'm fine now you don't need to bother anymore, she said while wiping her eyes. Is that what you are telling yourself? I'm sorry but I never meant to eavesdrop on your conversation but when I saw you sneak into my home, first I was amused but then I realised that you remind me of someone and I followed you, not usually my thing though, but who would have thought that I would hear such interesting conversation. You shouldn't eavesdrop on people's conversation, she reprimanded him but then recalled what he said oh God, I am sorry, I promise I'm not a thief, the security wouldn't let me in and I really wanted to talk to my boyfriend so I did what I had to, I'm terribly sorry, she let out series of apologies. The man beside the flower chuckled, a low rich sound that told her she shouldn't mess with him, I think you should say my ex-boyfriend from what I heard.. . . . Having the truth being thrown at her by a stranger, Clara couldn't hide the pain that flashed through her eyes, she looked away from his shadow and closed her eyes, willing the tears not to fall. You know, it's okay to cry after a break up but if you ask me, a man who leaves a woman because of how poor she dresses is a coward. "women are elegant in nature, you just have to invest on them to get what you want and you my dear, should believe in your natural quality. Clara shook her head softly at what he said, no I'm not that woman, those that fit your description are the ones dancing inside, she looked away from him and wiped her tears, I can never be them The man in the dark answered you only believe that cause he said that because he said it, he stepped out from the darkness and approached her with gentle graceful movements, every woman is unique, elegant and graceful, you just have to bring it out. Hearing his words and How close it sounded, she looked at him only to gasp and cover her mouth with her hands, she took a step back but forgot that she was standing close to the fountain so she fell back ward into the water. She surfaced immediately, her eyes still locked on the man who didn't even shift in his position or even bothered to help her out. She sat in the fountain, her hair dripping water on her already wet body. when she got over her shock, she cried out, you.... you .. The man before her smiled and walked closer, then offering his hand, he said, "Hello Clara.
