It Began With The Eyes

The Moon

Two months passed like this. He fucked me on weekends and taught me on weekdays when nobody knew about our forbidden love making. One day he didn’t come to school and it was unusual because he texted me last night that he would be coming to school today. So I began to worry if he was alright.That very day Maya didn’t come to school as well and it wasn’t normal because Maya never misses school. So the word of her absence spread out like fire in the school. I asked my class teacher if Maya was alright and she said Maya was okay. So I didn’t pay attention to her. Later that day after departure while I was in the bus I heard Fabiola Gianotti Maya's best friend say,"Hey did you hear Mr.Michael lost his job! You wanna know why? Let me tell you all It's because Maya was in a relationship with him and she learnt that he was fucking some other loser alongside her and that really bothered her.So, she accused him of badly touching him in tuitions.Then he got fired!" and laughing so hard. I was stunned to hear this. Then Anna told me, "I also heard that Maya and Mr.Michael were fucking each other but who is that other stupid who got between them? If Maya knows her name she is so fucked up! Maya is never gonna leave that girl for touching her prey. " I was a little triggered at this and looked at her and said,"Listen perhaps it wasn’t the girl between Maya and him it can Maya between him and the other girl and what is the proof he had fucked her!?!" Anna understood I was triggered. So she asked me if I was alright and why was I so triggered at this matter. I didn’t reply her rather got of the bus and entered my house and didn’t take a moment to call Michael.When I switched on my phone there were already ten calls from Michael. So I immediately called him back and before I started asking him anything.He asked me if I could meet him right away at Cafe Hybrid. As it was Friday and I was free of assignments and homeworks. So I said yes. I went to the cafe and found him already waiting for me and devastated. Before I walked to his table, he got up and rushed to hug me and asked if I could go with him to his favourite place and that he wanted to share something really important to me and I also said that I wanted to talk about something important too. He then took me to his favourite beach near the city and we sat there.He asked me what I wanted to say.Then I asked him,"Is it true about you and Maya? Are you really fired? " "I am going to explain everything , darling. But first you have to listen to me very calmly." pleaded he to me holding my hands with his icy cold hands. "Ok" I said. He went on ahead saying,"I don’t know how I am going to start but I lied to you." and lowered his eyes. I looked at him and asked him angrily what he had lied to me about. He replied,"I am married and I have a son." "What the fu.....!!!", I said shockingly and stood up. He stood up too and tried to pull me closer to him then I pushed him away with all my strength . He became angry too. So he pulled me towards him with my waist and looked into my eyes angrily and said," I love you! I want to make things right after fucking everything up!!So atleast one person should give me a chance to make it right. I aant that person to be you. So please I am begging you listen to me once. Then if you want you can hand me over to the police or kill me and leave me alone, i don’t care but please let me explain." There was too much pain in his eyes and I could see the tears he was trying to hold when he said those words to me. So I gave him a chance and couldn't hold my own tears. He said,"I don't have a very healthy marital life. So, I left my wife and kid to do a job in this city and find some peace. I fucked a new girl every night before I met you and I was supposed to fuck another the night I met you but you prevented it. I have cheated on my wife and she has cheated on me and that's why we are both separated. Every girl in the school is over the heels for me and I know that but the first day I say you. I had eyes on you alone. But destiny had something else for me." "Like?" asked I.  "Like me fucking Maya", said he regretfully. I looked at him with pain,anger and sorrows in my eyes and he couldn’t look back at me perhaps he didn’t have that courage to look back at me at that moment. He looked at the moon and continued," Last day after I texted you Maya came to my house and said she couldn’t understand a math problem and I said sure I can help you. But first let me bring you something to drink like a soft drink. Then I poured the soft drink and put in front of her and then went to my bedroom to keep my phone on charging.Little did I know she had spiked my drink. When I came I started to help her with the problem and then took 2 or more sips of the drink in between this and suddenly I collapsed and when I woke up in the morning I found Maya in my bed lying with me." "So,you two fucked each other? ", asked I with a painful voice." Yes but it wasn’t intentional on my side, darling. Trust me.", replied he holding my hands. I shoved his hands and screamed at him saying,"You cheated on me!!! You betrayed me! You used me!!!  How can I trust you for you have been lying to me from the beginning!?!?!" He screamed back saying, "I found my true love in you and I swear to my son I never touched any other women after I confessed my feelings to you! You are my reason to die and live since then! I was suicidal before I met you! You changed me!!!! Why don’t you get it!?!" "What?", asked I shocked at his saying. He replied," Yes, I was forced to marry my wife and make a baby with her but I never loved her. Nor did she. I longed to meet my soulmate.After that night since these ongoing three months you changed me! I also planned on marrying you. As I love you to the moon and the oceans. You mean more than anything to me and that sicko Maya was obsessed with me!  She texted me and was flirting with me for weeks and I bothered nothing.Thought it was another crazy student and will passby. But I was wrong. When I woke up in the morning I ousted her from my house and she immediately framed me of bad touching her and falsely complained against me and as her dad is the biggest fund collecting source in the School's Trust. They fired me immediately. So, I lost it and I am leaving tomorrow morning." "Are you done?" asked I. "Yes. You can do whatever you want now. I won’t stop you but please don’t leave me without saying anything.", said he with lowered gaze. " Look at me! " I commanded him. He looked at me fearfully.  "Do you really love me? Or was it all a lie?", I asked him with blood red eyes soaking in tears. "If i didn’t I wouldn’t be here explaining myself and consoling you. Rather I would be leaving you thinking you as my any other one night stands.", said he holding my hands. This time I held his hands back and laid my head on his shoulders and looked at the beautiful moon and asked him, " Do you want me to forgive you?" "Yes,I do darling. " said he with a shaky voice. "I forgive you. ", said I crying. He looked at me with tears falling from his eyes and put his hands on my shoulders and as we both looked at the beautiful half moon that night he proposed me if I would marry him after collage and that he was ready to abandon his so called excuse of a wife for marrying me and if I will accept his son. I said," I can accept your son but your son will never accept me as I never accepted my step-mother." He looked at me shocked enough. "I am a child of divorce. My parents separated when I was seven and my dad remarried a stripper and till this date I hate him because if my parents were to divorce why they give birth to me? The could have simply killed me too. And I don’t want any other kid to feel so and specially for me never!" said I. He said back,"I am so sorry darling. But I don’t think anything like that will happend with us if you want. " I replied,"No I don’t my moonlight. " That night we both looked at the stars and the moon and when I woke up in the morning only to find myself alone again in life with a jacket and a coat with a letter inside that says,

"If you ever wish to comeback to your crazy pervert lover. Please call him as he will be waiting for you till death, darling.

Your Loving,
Moonlight"

It's been 20 years since then. I have not married till now and have no children of mine. As I once got separated from the love of my life Michael and vowed to never marry anyone else other than him. I guess that's why the best love stories are always the incomplete ones like Romeo and Juliet, Lolita and Humbert and then us. I love you too Michael.
