Forced to Marry a Teacher

54. I Only Belong to Janus One

School was over, Astrid came home with a bouquet of flowers that Janus had sent for her this morning. Because Janus sent too many flowers, Astrid handed out one bouquet to her female friends in class. Although she could only carry one bouquet, Astrid was very happy with the beautiful flowers her husband gave her. On the way home, Astrid was impatient to meet Janus who was now in the apartment. Because all day at school he can not meet face to face with him, because Janus who has no schedule at school. He would rather not go to school. Though Astrid had been satisfied this morning to see Janus, just because at school he could not meet Janus all day. She misses her handsome husband too much.

When he arrived in front of the apartment building, Titan suddenly shouted while approaching him. "Astrid's."

"What's wrong?" astrid asked with her flat expression.

"I want to talk to you about something" replied Titan.

"If you want to talk, do it now."

"Not here, what if we were talking at the cafe which is in the quarter of the road there," said Titan pointed towards the cafe which is not far from the apartment building.

"Hm, okay. But just for a second, because my husband was waiting at home." Astrid and Titan went to the cafe that was appointed.

Astrid and Titan sit at one of the remaining tables.

"What message do you want?" ask Titan.

"I won't be here long. So I ordered the same drink as you."

"All right." Titan immediately called the waiter at the cafe. "Sister," he shouted as he waved his hand.

"Well, does anyone want a message?" said the waiter approached the table that Astrid and Titan were sitting on.

"I ordered two strawberry milkshakes and two tiramisu" Titan said, reading a menu book.

"Why did you order two tiramisu? didn't I just want to order a drink" Astrid said in surprise.

"It's just a piece of tiramisu, you won't be eating it for long" Titan smiled.

"I'm not feeling well, so you don't have to bother ordering me food. So you better talk now, what do you want to talk about."

"I'll talk after our order in between, please be patient" Titan smiled.

Astrid breathed. "All right," he said annoyed.

A few minutes later the order arrived. The waiter returned the order that Titan had ordered.

"Because today our cafe is holding a discount, so your order will be given a discount. So are you a couple? if you're a couple we'll give you a discount" the waiter said as he placed the order.

"Yet." said Astrid, who was cut by Titan. "Yes we're a couple" he said out loud.

"All right, we'll give you a discount. But the condition you guys should be in the photo, after that I will upload your photos in the social media cafe. And if you have social media, may I ask for the ID, because I'll tag your social media."

"I don't have a social media account" Astrid said.

"Well, I'll take a photo" the waiter said of Astrid and Titan.

Astrid gets even more upset when Titan tells the waiter at the cafe that they are a couple. However, Astrid could not admit because every time she wanted to avoid Titan always cut the conversation.

"Why did you tell him we were a couple" Astrid said.

"If we claim to be a couple, won't it benefit me. Because today I'll treat you."

"I don't need a deal, because I'll pay for my order myself" said Astrid, who was still upset with Titan.

"Because it's a couple's package, so can't pay for it yourself. So let me just pay" said Titan while eating tiramisu.

"All right, so today what do you want to talk to me about? ask Astrid.

"Take the food, when it's over I'll talk."

Astrid is upset with Titan who keeps buying time to keep her from leaving. Astrid then stood up from her seat.

"If you just want to mess around, it's better not to talk. Because I don't have time to keep you eating."

"Well, I'll talk now. So you sit down first" said Titan in a panic.

Titan placed the garfu he held on the plate. He looked nervous as he looked seriously at Astrid's face, with his hands slowly crawling up to reach Astrid's hand. Titan swallowed his saliva which he then said. "I just want to apologize, I'm really sorry for not being able to tell you about the Star and friends bet."

"So that's what you want to say," Astrid released her hand from Titan's grasp. "I was angry with you, but because you kept protecting me and kept trying to derail the Star's plan. I'll forgive you, so stop feeling guilty."

"Thank you, Trid" said the smiling Titan.

"That's all you want to talk about. I'm going home now yes" said Astrid.

"I haven't finished speaking yet" said Titan, stopping Astrid from moving on.

"So what else do you want to say?" ask Astrid again.

Titan breathed his breath. "I've liked you for a long time. I know, it's too soon for me to admit my feelings. Perhaps you are still sad after parting with the Stars. But please give me a chance. I promise I will make you happy with all my heart" he said loudly without daring to look at the married woman.

Astrid was quite astonished by Titan's confession to her. To make it difficult for him to speak. Moreover, Titan's experience was truly sincere towards him. But unfortunately, Titan can only be a poor man who can not reach Astrid's heart. Because the woman who was sitting in front of her was already in need of her husband. With a heavy heart Astrid must reject the sincere statement of Titan.

"Sorry, but I can't give you a chance. Because now I will sincerely love and be loyal to only my husband. And I have to admit that, during my relationship with the Stars, I have not put my heart on him in the least. I just love the Stars, but I don't put a bit of sense into it. Because my heart is only fixed on Brother Janus. When I parted with him, I wasn't too heartbroken. Because it turns out that the man in my heart is Janus' sister."

Titan again grabbed Astrid's hand and clasped her hand back tightly. "Isn't your relationship not serious. You will be separated in two years. Wouldn't you be too selfish, if only you loved."

And again Astrid released her hand from the grasp of Titan. "I'm sure Brother Janus also put his heart on me. Did you know this flower in my handmaid is a gift from Brother Janus." Astrid showed me a bouquet of flowers that she had been holding. "I'm sure Janus will soon confess his feelings, because every day his actions are different than usual. He got warmer with me and he also looked like a man in love. And I'm sure she's already starting to fall in love with me" she said smilingly looking at her bouquet.
