Forced to Marry a Teacher

19. The Star That Admires

He's the Star of the Scriptures, the man Astrid has long liked. Either just an obsession or a feeling of love. I don't know, if it's true she's his first love. Why is that feeling just awe. There is a love sentence in various films, novels, and comics that are romantic. This phrase has the meaning of a feeling of love. A feeling of fear of loss, a feeling that does not see anything from within him, or a feeling of longing when not found. There is also a feeling of pleasure that makes the heart beat and also nervous when nearby. However, that was not felt by Astrid when she was with the stars.

His heart was pounding with him and he felt fascinated when he looked at his handsome face. This was indeed his only feeling of admiration, just like other women in his school who admired his good looks. Who has an obsession with being around him. Which woman doesn't want a handsome boyfriend. Every woman wants that. It was the same with Astrid when she first met the Star. For the first time he stepped foot in High School, he saw the handsome man. His figure was unceasingly stared at by all the women who saw him including by Astrid.

And for the second time his hand was held by the Man who admired him. Astrid was endlessly staring at his face. With a flushed face, Astrid's heart was pounding quite hard. The star did not remove Astrid's arm, he rushed to the streets to approach public transport which was stopping at a crossroads. As they reached the front door, Astrid stopped her steps.

"What's wrong? ask Stars.

"My hands," Astrid answered with a very nervous feeling.

"Oh yes sorry," said Bintang to release his grasp.

Then the two immediately boarded the angkot. Astrid and the Star sat facing each other. Astrid stared intently at the handsome face of the man sitting before her. Convincing his consciousness, that this was not a dream, could go to school for the second time with the Stars.

While the Star continued to stare towards the streets, she felt uneasy as the 15 minutes to come the bell sign would ring.

"in 15 minutes the bell rang" said the star, staring at the clock that was coiled around his arm.

"If we're late, how about we go back" Astrid suggested.

"Yes too. All right, we're going through the back" said the smiling star.

The Smile of the Stars was able to make Astrid blush in embarrassment. As Astrid turned her gaze, she swallowed her saliva and stared at the street from the angkot window.

13 Minutes had passed, and they arrived in front of the school. The two ran in a hurry because the 2 minutes that will come the school gate will be closed tightly by the security guard. The moment they managed to enter the gate, both of them stopped their speed. Adjusting his breath that ngosan after running.

"Finally managed to enter," said Bintang while holding his left waist.

"Yes, we don't need a cape-cape to climb the wall" Astrid said.

Suddenly from behind Vega approached while embracing the arm of the Star. "Hei Bin just came."

The star seemed uncomfortable when his arm was held by Vega. Astrid stared silently at Vega, who continued to cling to the Star, even though the Star itself tried to remove Vega's hand from her arm.

Somehow Astrid did not feel angry or jealous when she saw Vega who continued to buy the Star. He knew he liked the stars. Maybe because he was used to seeing Vega and the Stars together. Because Bintang had a 2-year relationship with Vega. A pretty phenomenal and popular couple in school, who used to be the envy of everyone. Because of the beautiful face of the two, it makes the couple look harmonious.

2 Minutes passed, the bell rang. Astrid immediately stepped on her feet. "I'm going to class now, yeah" she said.

Not five seconds before he stepped out, the Star held his arm and stopped his steps.

"Wait!"

Astrid then turned to face the star. "Hm, what's wrong?"

"May I have your mobile number" said Bintang.

"May," said Astrid took the phone belonging to Bintang, then she wrote down her mobile number.

After she wrote down her phone number, Astrid returned the phone to Star. Then he rushed to class.

"Thank you, I'll call you later" cried the star.

Astrid smiled, upon hearing the cry of the Star. What other fate would God give him, that the man who had been amazed by him would contact him through his smart phone. What a happy morning for Astrid.

"Crukk...

"Cieee is hungry" said Alula.

"Yes, we go to the cafeteria now yu," Astrid stood up from her seat.

As usual Astrid and her two friends went to the cafeteria. However, half the journey had been on. Astrid felt the pockets in her school uniform seemed empty. Yeah, probably because of the money to buy food in the cafeteria, left in his bag.

"It looks like my money is left in the bag, you go first" Astrid said in a hurry to return to class.

Astrid took some banknotes that were stored in her wallet. However, when he left the classroom, Vega and her friends suddenly came to Astrid. Vega's face was furious, like she was about to pounce on Astrid.

"Hey, stop flirting with the Stars" said Vega, folding her arms around her chest.

Vega and her friends gather around Astrid who is standing in front of the class. They made Astrid quite frightened when looking at him.

"What do you mean?" ask Astrid.

"You need to pretend to be innocent. Actually you like Stars, don't expect you to get Stars. Because the Star belongs to me only," Vega said staring intently at Astrid.

"It's not like you've broken up" said Astrid, trembling in fear.

Vega grew even more upset with Astrid, her hands started swinging towards Astrid's cheeks. It seems he's going to slap Astrid. "Basic shit...!" he said that immediately stopped because his arm was suddenly held.

Who would have thought that the one who stopped Vega's slap was Janus.

"Where did you learn to bully" said Janus, who was still holding Vega's arm.

"Sorry sir, but he's the one who caused the problem first" Vega said, feeling embarrassed and terrified.

"It is not by force that you solve the problem. Hurry up and apologize" said Janus.

"We don't do hard work, sir" Vega said.

"But I saw you were going to slap Astrid. Apologize quickly or I'll take you to the BK room (Counseling Guidance)."

"I'm sorry, that was emotional" Vega said with a visibly irritated look.

After Vega and his friends left, Janus was still standing beside Astrid. He frowned, staring at the surroundings as if observing the situation.

"Why are you still standing there, you're not leaving?" ask Astrid.

"Without" replied Janus who was still observing.

"If so I go first" said Astrid.

Janus held Astrid's arm. "Don't go. I want to talk to you."

"Speak what?" ask Astrid again.

"So Grandpa called me, he invited us to dinner at his house. So, you have to remember that as long as we're at her house, we have to successfully perform as a couple."

"Ready husband" whispered Astrid to Janus' ear.
