The Secret Marriage of the Teacher

Loving you

“Leo ?”

Jihan hurriedly got up from her chair and with a lowered face she stood a little away from Maya's desk.

“You why are you here ? Want to provoke Maya again ?” Leo snapped at Jihan while leaving her waist to make Maya join up and approach the man and then hold his arm.

“I asked Jihan to come here, Brother, she should still be on leave.”

Leo was silent but his sharp gaze was still aimed at Jihan.

“You go home first, Ji. Thank you for coming.”

Jihan only dared to nod her head with a smile before leaving Maya's room.

“Why didn't you tell me you wanted to come here?”

“You mind ? Why didn't you tell me you went to the doctor and it was positive ? You deliberately don't want to tell me out of shame that I'm the father of the baby?”

Leo held onto both of Maya's shoulders with a sad look. He realized that in terms of social status, he would never be able to equalize the Maya family forever.

Leo's eyes fiddled as Maya hugged him tightly.

“Maya you..”.

“Since when did Big Brother start liking me?”

Leo shook his head, hesitating to return Maya's embrace. It was like Maya's dream was to embrace him.

“I,.,.”

“Thank you Brother would accept me as I am,” Maya said as she looked up but did not let go of her embrace.

“You must have accepted me. If only there were no seeds in your womb right now, I would not be the man to be reckoned with by a woman like you,” Leo said with a bitter smile.

Leo looked the other way, unable to see Maya's pretense because Leo was sure a thousand percent that Maya would not be able to love him. Since the beginning of the position of Leo is only a friend and then rose to become an assistant Martin.

“I'm sorry, Mas Leo,” watered Maya in a sad tone.

Leo returned surprised and spontaneously looked at Maya who still held her position.

“Should you say what ?” leo asked in disbelief. Maya laughed softly, one hand rubbing Leo's cheek.

“Mas Leo. Why ? Or is it Leo's brother ? Does Brother Leo not want to take responsibility for the seeds that have grown in my womb ? Don't want to be called papa or papi or daddy ?” ask Maya while laughing softly.

“Yakin want to be my wife and do not want to go back with your ex-boyfriend who is now the CEO ?”

“I still want to vent my hatred because Jojo has been playing with my feelings for his wife, then Daddy says that the desire for revenge will never end. I am angry because I am greedy and do not want to lose, selfish and used to get whatever I want. For 25 years as Daddy's son, for the first time I felt Daddy's heart was scarred by Mommy's actions but for 25 years I and my two brothers never felt like victims of Daddy's revenge. Although Daddy is difficult to love Mommy, Daddy still carries out his duties and responsibilities as a father including for Brother Mario and Brother Martin.”

“I will wait until you love me,” Leo said.

“It looks like it won't be long,” says Maya while chuckling. “I began to accept my way of life and it felt more comfortable being loved sincerely than pursuing a pseudo-love. Thank you and I really hope Brother Leo will not get tired of teaching me about true love.”

Leo looked up at Maya and looked for sincerity from the long-loved woman's gaze. It felt like a dream and Leo was a little scared that everything changed when his eyes blinked.

Maya puts her hands around Leo's neck and brings the man's face closer and kisses his lips at a glance. Leo's eyes had a balled but the next second the burly hand held Maya's nape and gave a kiss on the lips that always teased her.

There is still something strange when Maya replies to the kiss of a man she has not fully loved but Maya tries to deepen her feelings. His eyes closed, learning to feel sincerity in the touch of Leo's lips that demanded more than a kiss.

Jonathan frowned when he saw the kitchen lights were still on. It's almost 1 in the morning. The last one who turned off the lights after taking drinking water.

“Gaby ? What are you doing there ?”

Jonathan's eyes puffed up when he saw Gaby lying face down between her legs folded near the refrigerator. Beside the girl was a broken glass that had been tidied up inside the pengki.

Gaby rubbed her face before waking up. The girl grimaced and immediately held onto the kitchen table as she stood up. Jonathan's eyebrows swelled, seeing that there were blood stains on the floor.

“Your leg wound.”

“Nnothing, just a slight scuff hit by shards.”

Before Gaby stepped up, Jonathan carried her making Gaby's eyes straight up.

“Sit quietly here, let me check the wound.”

Gaby was a little awkward as Jonathan knelt in front of her and examined Gaby's bloody soles.

“It's not just a blister, there's still a small fraction of a stick on your skin. Sit quietly here, do not try to walk if you do not want the fraction added into.”

Gaby nodded and looked at Jonathan who went to pick up the medicine box. Gaby's heart warmed up as she felt that there was still something to pay attention to.

Unknowingly Gaby smiled as she watched Jonathan so painstakingly pull out the broken glass and treat his wound. Honestly, since staying in this house with mom and Jonathan and Jenny who came home during the holidays, Gaby's life feels different, but the incident in the restaurant makes Gaby seem to wake up from a beautiful dream.

Gaby is afraid that she is too comfortable with her new family and suddenly loses faith that Jonathan loves her.

“Eh where to go?” gaby asked as Jonathan held her back.

“Since then you were silent even though I have been babbling from Sabang to Merauke. What do you think ? I'm sure you're crying not because your feet are bleeding from broken glass.”

“Yes but go down first.”

“Mama must wake up if you enter now especially with the condition of the foot like this. You know that Mama is sensitive to sound and has trouble sleeping again when she wakes up ?”

Gaby frowned, what Jonathan said was correct. Today Gaby had a hard time sleeping and was restless in bed. Several times Mama woke up and asked why Gaby had not slept until she finally chose to go out of the room on the grounds of wanting to go to the bathroom and take a drink.

“So tonight you slept with me first. If your legs suddenly hurt, you just wake me up. Promise me nothing, just sleep next to you.”

Although it felt reluctant to sleep in the room let alone one bed with Jonathan, but the drowsiness that began to come finally made Gaby nod.

“But what do I need to be carried all ?”

“You didn't see your legs bandaged ? It's hard to climb up the stairs to the 2nd floor, after all I don't mind holding you. Enteng.”

“Sleep yes ? Can't stamp-nempel.”

Jonathan laughed softly and nodded then to prevent Gaby from changing her mind, he rushed Gaby up to his room.

Gaby's heart beats uncorruptedly, though her brain still remembers her intention to stay away from Jonathan but her sense of smell and neutrality are not in line with her heartbeat.

The smell of Jonathan's body was Gaby's favorite especially when they slept one bed as it made her sleep calmer as the man hugged her.

It felt awkward when Jonathan put Gaby's body on the bed. It's been about a month Gaby never sleeps there again but the drowsiness is getting stronger attack the net.

“If there is anything, do not hesitate to wake me.” Jonathan said while enveloping Gaby's body.

Jonathan's outstretched hand rubbing Gaby's head made the girl fall asleep in less than 5 minutes.

“I'll get you out of your hiding place, honey. I'm sorry if I made you hesitate and even afraid to confess your feelings. I can feel that you still love me,” muttered Jonathan as he kissed Gaby on the forehead.

After turning off the lights, Jonathan lies down next to Gaby and breaks his promise. His hands stretched out hugging Gaby who did not refuse to even suck her head into Jonathan's arms.
