MARRIED TO MY TEACHER
Episode 8.
A week to my resumption date, Michael returned from England, I was very happy when the news of his return got to me.
I, Clement and Cynthia my younger sis went to see him since we were the only family that knew him that much when he was around.
When we got to the house, my boss Welcomed us and we were taken to the dinning table were some family members were sitting.
Minutes later, Michael came to join us at the dinning table. When I saw him, I was not able to recognize him at first sight. Michael the little boy turned to a full grown handsome man. He was handsome more than ever but the face was not completely gone.
I thought maybe it was his elder bro but my spirit kept diverting me to his position. Asking him if he is Michael will be a shame because we grew up together and we were very good friends.
Not knowing what to do, I decided to do the style we always did while we were kids. I decided to shout Michael hoping that if no one answers, then I will divert it to, ” where is Michael “.
I shouted ” Michael ” because I already forgot that we were on the dinning. Immediately he heard Michael, he turned and asked ” Mcmech is that you?” , I forgot your face but I cannot forget that voice that kept telling me to follow the right path when we were still kids.”
“Yes it’s me” I replied.
It was at that moment that my siblings realized it was Michael. My appetite for the food was gone when I realized it was Michael. “At least I can see that my very good friend is doing well ” I said to myself.
We went and sat on the Sofa gisting about our childhood memories when I saw Lizzy serving juice to the people on the dinning table. At first, I thought maybe the lady and Lizzy were just alike, “but even if I see Lizzy in the dark, I will still recognize her. That’s Lizzy”. I said to myself.
” So you still remember Lizzy my uncle’s daughter ” Michael asked.
My heart skipped its beat when I heard that, ” So Lizzy my old time primary school friend is my boss’ youngest daughter “, I murmured. I was scared of how my boss will react if he finds out that I have been dating his daughter for a while but I never visited to see her parents. At least for them to know that I am their daughter’s friend. Or will he say I took her daughter as my sex doll, that was why I never visited? Though I never had sex with her since we started dating because I knew that true love is not all about sex but how we cooperate and love ourselves until they are married. Sometimes the feelings arise because we humans have blood running in our veins, but self control is the only solution.
Many questions were running through my mind, when Lizzy came with her dad (my boss) to where I was sitting with Michael. I was unable to open my mouth and talk to her because fear gripped my body. I thought that was the end of my good relationship with my boss.
It was my fault since I failed to visit her parents but I never knew her dad was Dennis (my boss).
I failed to visit her parents because I wanted to at least have something doing before going to see her parents. I loved her so much to the extent that I was thinking maybe her parents will tag me as a poor man and resist me from marrying their daughter. Although that was a stupid reason.
I was thinking of how I will apologize to him when he interrupted, ” when will you learn how to overcome your fears “, he asked.
I kept quiet.
” You don’t have to be sorry because I knew before Lizzy told me and I don’t have any grudges against you.” He said.
” Sir it’s my fault, I failed to ask more about her family. Maybe been my first relationship, I forgot. I am sorry sir. ” I apologized.
My boss was not mad at me, indeed he is a very good man.
Lizzy came close to me and hugged me tight ” I am so sorry babe for my mistakes, it might seem I don’t care about your family but I do care.” I whispered to her.
” I understand you don’t have to feel sorry anymore, my dad explained everything to me when I told him that you never asked of my family.” She replied.
That was the biggest mistake I did, from girlfriend to fiance and it seemed I was not not concern with her family’s well being.
When I sat and thought about that, I was very sorry because that’s the biggest mistake any partner can do. I promised myself never to do that mistake again.
Our visit to Michael’s home was very nice that day, I learnt new things and I realized my mistakes. I think Clement and Cynthia does too because they were around when everything was going on.
A week later, it was time for my resumption, I imagined how I will be staying in the campus without my families and friends and not even my lovely Lizzy. I loved her with my life and she does same to me. I believed I was not going to break her heart. But something troubles my heart, will she wait for four good years for me? What if a billionaire snatches her away from me?
