Hell's Charm From My Wife

10. The School of the Future

Everything went well, no one was aware of the tragedy in Laura's life. Belen was even fooled by Laura's silence today. Laura does not want to commit suicide, saying that if the family is in a chaotic situation, the fact that it will affect Laura's friendship.

"Ra! A walk to the mall, yuk?" Belen embraces Laura. Their footsteps were followed by several peers who came.

"I agree with Belen" said another friend. "For as long as you don't buy us food, Ra!" coined. The people around Laura supported with similarly pitched laughter.

Laura smiled thinly. He remembered, his mother advised to arrange finances starting this morning. Laura and Desi have no idea what tragedy will befall them, more than now.

"Why silence?" ask Belen, disperse Laura's focus. "You don't want to go out with us?"

Laura took off Belen's embrace carefully. A smile was forced on his face. "I ...." She is unable, Laura never refuses her friends' invitation to waste her money.

"I don't think I can" said Laura hesitantly. "I have business."

Belen looked at the other friends. It seems Laura changed a lot in one day, making them foreign to Laura's existence.

"You're not what you used to be, Ra," said Belen. "You got a problem?"

Laura fell silent again, doubt enveloping her. Belen is his best friend so far, they always share stories throughout the day. There is never a secret hidden. However, if Laura told me about her papa, then she had to tell me about Adam as well. Belen won't let her go before the story is told.

"Why not tell me if there's a problem?" Belen urged again, Laura was cornered with the eyes of her friends. "You don't trust us anymore, Ra?" ask Belen.

Laura almost replied, but Adam's arrival interrupted the conversation of these young girls.

"Laura's got business with me, guys." Adam was friendly, like greeting a peer. She is not too old either.

Adam is a grown man, not an old man.

Belen was surprised not to play as Adam stood by his side. Fragrant fragrance in Belen nostril. "Eh, Mr. Adam," said Belen.

"Sir Adam's got the same thing with Laura?" Belen wondered. The fact Belen fell in love with Adam's good looks, that's what makes Belen look like a clumsy guy here.

Adam mangosteen sure. "I heard he often missed history lessons from previous teachers."

Laura looked at Adam. So quickly did Adam find out about himself?

"Me too!" Belen offered himself. Suddenly he stood in front of Adam. "Me and Laura are both often ditching for lessons we don't like, Mr. Adam," he added.

Belen is acting stupid. Which student confesses to his teacher that he likes to truant? Only Belen was based on his interest in Adam.

Adam smiled and patted Belen on the shoulder. "Then your mom should be more attentive, Belen," he said.

Belen frowned in wonder. "Why indeed? My mother ...."

"Mama complained to Adam?" As if to help, Laura interrupted. He knew what Adam meant by coming here.

Adam nodded again. "so. So for your grades, we should have a chat first, Laura."

Laura looked at her friends. Of course a disappointed face haunted him at this moment. Laura never missed a show together.

"I'm sorry, everyone. Looks like I have to go with Mr. Adam" Laura added.

Laura smiled faintly, she waved and bailed away. Leaving Belen and her friends in disappointment.

Belen looked at the back of Laura who was following Adam away from them. "He's not usually like that" Belen said.

"He will refuse counseling guidance and choose to play with us" muttered Belen quietly. "Laura's weird today."

....

"Sir Adam made me weird in front of my friends" Laura protested as she continued to follow Adam. "Parent Adam should not have come."

"Why should I thank Mr. Adam?" Laura's getting upset. He'll have to explain something to Belen if he meets later.

Adam pulled over, right under a large tree on the empty side of the field. Adam deliberately chose a place like this to talk to Laura. She was sure Laura knew what she meant.

"I guess you're trying to avoid your friends today, Laura," Adam said. "I was wrong?"

Laura saves trust. He was reluctant to argue, especially in the school environment. If Adam is wrong, Laura will be reprimanded. Adam was his teacher.

Laura looked away. Reluctant to look at Adam who had just caught his sad face wet.

"I know how you feel now, Ra. I saw you and your mama last night" Adam said.

Adam made Laura look at him. "You eavesdropping?" ask Laura.

Adam shook his head. "You eavesdropping or not, I also deserve to know, I'm your future husband."

Laura grinned. "Sir Adam was proud of that?" Laura shakes. "Married to a young girl is your hope?"

Adam is smiling. "At least I'm responsible for you, Laura. Not like Daffa."

Ah, about Daffa. The bastard had not seen his nose until this afternoon. He said Daffa was not present throughout the class. No word on where he is now.

"Don't take her," ketus Laura. "I hate him."

Adam was silent again. Her eyes were never absent from Laura's beautiful face. This haughty girl gave a lot of surprises to her. Laura presents many challenges for Adam to understand.

"May I ask you something, Laura?" Adam started their conversation.

Laura did not answer, but she gave permission from the look on her face.

"From your circumstances, are you ashamed?" ask Adam. "That's why you can't confess to your friends what happened?"

Laura did not answer. His life was changed in one night. All his happiness seemed to be covered with such great sadness and disappointment.

"If you're ashamed, why should you be ashamed? Your papa's condition is concerning." Adam grunted quietly. "You should understand that feeling."

Laura grinned slowly. "Why do you have to understand that?" ask Laura. "Why can't people understand what I'm feeling right now?"

"Instead of being embarrassed, I started to feel sick" Laura said. "The problem came just like that, over and over, without giving me a gap to breathe" Laura said.

Laura pointed in any direction. "I'll lose this life after I get married."

"You can still go to school, Laura. I'm not forbidding you" Adam replied.

"What about my pregnancy? Seems like I forgot that I'm pregnant" she wrote. He almost shed tears.

Adam almost replied, but the ringing of his phone came to coincide with Laura's. Both focus on their phones.

"Mama?" muttered Laura.

Adam looked at Laura. He also received a call from his mother.

Laura raised the call. His mother's voice instantly sounded along with roaring sobs. Laura's body creeped out instantly.

"Mama, what's wrong? Why are you crying like that?" laura asked in panic.

"Ra! Papa you!" Her mother's voice raised concerns for Laura. "Come to the hospital!"
