Chapter 44
“Andrius…”Anya whispered as the man released her.
“Anya, are you okay?”From nowhere Sir Ryan appeared with concern on his face. Anya looked at him for a moment and immediately looked back at the mysterious man earlier, but it was no longer there.
Anya looked around but the place where they were was very dark. She walked quickly to see the area illuminated by the lights but saw nothing but students at night.
“Hey, are you looking for something?”Ryan whispered to Anya.
Anya stared at Ryan as she turned to face him. Her heart was still beating so fast. She was sure that she saw Andrius’eyes. Or so she thought. She didn’t know. She was confused. She was uncertain.
“Did you see that?”she asked him.
“What?”Ryan’s confused answer to her.
Suddenly, Anya grabbed the collar of Ryan’s uniform and pulled his face close to hers and kissed the man.
Anya kissed Ryan Pimentel in front of the College of Arts building. Right in front of the Night Class students. Everyone applauded for what she had done but she did not care. She shifted her eyes and burst into tears.
Andrius Monterio in his piercing blue eyes stared at her. He was standing in front of the school gate. He was eyeing her. A glint of anger was evident on his face.
But, Anya didn’t care.
All she cared was a little glimpse of Andrius’handsome face and how she missed him.
“Andrius!”Anya shouted at Andrius as she watched him walk away. She followed him even though it was dark all around. But, her hope was lost when he did not even look at her and rode in his parked car.
Anya touched her chest and patted it slowly. It was throbbing in pain.
“Are you okay ma’am?”A student asked her. Anya looked at and nodded slightly.
“Ma’am Anya, what’s the problem? Are you okay? I never thought you would kiss me,”Sir Ryan asked Anya one question after another. He looked embarrassed and scratched his head while not staring into her eyes.
“Sorry, Sir,”Anya apologized when she remembered what she had done to him earlier.
“Because of that?”Ryan’s astonishing question. His handsome face frowned as he stared at Anya in confusion.
“For kissing you. I’m sorry, Sir Ryan,”Anya continued as she quickly left Ryan who was dumbfounded.
Anya sighed as she walked away. She ordered herself. Sometimes she didn’t think clearly. Desperate to see Andrius again, she thought of kissing her fellow teacher in front of the Night Class students.
“Argh! Really stupid!”she hissed.
While in class Anya did not pay much attention to what she was saying. Her brain was thinking so many things. How did Andrius find her? Or if he searched for her for what reason? She thought that he hated her. So why was he here now? She wanted to answer so many questions but no one could tell her but Andrius. But, he was gone.
“Ma’am, it’s time. Essay writing is over. These are our papers.”One of her students grabbed her attention. Anya nodded and looked around the classroom. Everyone was busy arranging their belongings and they looked like they would come out.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
She looked at her wristwatch and looked at the time. It was past nine thirty in the evening. So she stood up and took the student’s answer sheet. She would no longer go to the College of Teacher Education building. She would just take the student papers to their house.
Anya came out just in time when her fellow teacher, Sir Ryan, stopped her. She frowned. Looking at Ryan, it looked like he had been waiting for her for a while.
“Why Sir? Is there any problem?”Anya asked.
“You owe me an explanation, Ma’am. You just kiss me in public. Then you say, sorry?”Ryan replied. He accompanied Anya on the walk and seemed to be bored that he talked to her nonstop. While Anya was still on his back and looked annoyed at what was happening.
Anya sighed before facing Ryan. Then she looked around to see the students coming out. They were already outside the campus so she could breathe easily without them caring about what was going on between with her fellow teachers.
“I already told you my apology Sir for kissing you. It does not mean that I kissed you, I want you,”Anya said.
“What?! You’re that kind of woman?”It was a shocking accusation from Ryan.
Anya was caught off-guard. What she heard from Ryan could not be overstated. Of all people he would said those words to her. She laughed at him sarcastically, afterwards. She was judged again.
“Now you know. Please, you can leave me, Sir Ryan. It’s late. I’m going home,”Anya said in conviction.
“I’ll take you home-“he offered.
“No, Thank you!”Anya answered immediately. She no longer wanted to be indebted to the man. She knew immediately what kind of person he was, even though she did not know him well.
“Please, Anya. Just this once-”
Ryan did not finish anything he wanted to say when Andrius suddenly appeared in front of them. What Anya knew was that he had left, so she was stunned to see him up close.
“If the girl said no, respect it!”Andrius said firmly to Ryan who looked back and forth between the two of them.”Now, go!”he added.
“Who are you? Your arrogance, ah!”
Anya looked at Ryan sharply because of what he said. He seemed to be challenging Andrius for a fight. While Andrius smiled at what Ryan said.
“Ryan, leave! Please, don’t make a scene here,”Anya said to the young man and shook her shoulder.
