"In a good mood, huh, dog doctor?"
"What, mom?"
"But with a donkey's brain."
"Why are you teasing me, mom?"
I pouted at her, but I wasn't really angry. My mood was full of happiness, as if the atmosphere around me was blooming with flowers.
"Isn't it because your beloved teacher came to visit?"
"She came to see Viramarati-savitrithita."
"Oh, my poor daughter."
“...”
"Yes, I didn't mean you."
My lovely mother hugged Viramarati-savitrithita tightly.
"How did she react when she saw her former owner?"
"She looks indifferent."
"The cat has more sense than you. She knows how much she was hurt and that there's no point in being happy to see you again.
"Mom... "
I sigh and look at the lady of the house, who, despite the teasing, is clearly worry about me.
"I'm fine, really."
"Your joy is annoying. I don't need to read your mind to know how happy you are. Are you still feeling butterflies in your stomach about your teacher?"
"Butterflies in my stomach? I don't understand, Mom."
I covered my ears, not wanting to hear, but Mom keep talking.
"You are a young woman, beautiful too, but you still don't have a boyfriend. I'm worry. You have a uterus, use it."
"Good morning!!!
"When are you going to grow up? "
And when she said that, I immediately glare at her.
"What? Why are you looking at me like that? I'm going to slap you."
"I'm not a child anymore, Mom. Why do you keep saying I'm not an adult?"
"Because you're not. The world moves on, but you keep acting like a girl waiting for your first love, the teacher. It's a good thing the teacher didn't join in the fun."
"How do you know she didn't?"
"Because she's smart. Someone with a doctorate wouldn't look at a lowly dog doctor like you. Look at her car, her education. She needs someone of her level. And from what I can see, no one is worthy of Renu."
"You're praising the teacher too much."
When Mom gave her reasons, I start to feel bad. What was that? I didn't feel anything before.
"I'm just telling you to live in reality. A woman should be with a man. Two female plugs won't do anything. No spark of electricity. Got it? You'll only hear the sound of plugs clashing."
"Eww, what kind of comparison is that? I'm not talking to you anymore!"
.
Shock, shock, shock!
I run to my room, pretending I didn’t want to hear Mom’s dirty talk anymore. But the truth is, I felt bad about the reality she pointed out.
Teacher Renu seems so important now…
It’s not that having a PhD was that great, but her profile was perfect and flawless. They say that if you make yourself valuable, you can filter the people who approach you. So anyone trying to hit on Teach Renu now
should consider whether they are good enough.
