When She Left - Adam Kyrone Vallega

EPILOGUE

For the past few years, everything has changed in my life. Meeting Elisha has made my life chromatic and vivacious. Meet my wife, Hannah Elisha Lopez-Vallega. I finally have the guts to write her name! She was my student, and I had her in my class thrice.

I am writing this as promised to my readers. I married her in secret last year, because she was my student. This year, I refused to teach her even if she wanted to. It was hard to have a relationship in secret.

She's my wife. She's my heart and soul. She's the reason why I live. She's the reason why I became a teacher. But at the same time, she's also the reason why I'm leaving my career, albeit not permanently.

I can't keep fooling around. My father's business is waiting for me. Kier does not want to handle them all because he said he wanted me to have my share as well. We had never have the chance to talk, but recently we had one. He's a great brother. I wished we had opposite personalities.

My father told me his love story. I almost can't believe that my father waited for my mother even if she was first married to another man! I had finally known why he was so cold and mean. He was just scared of people hurting him. He was a very fragile man.

I told them how much their parenting style had hurt me so badly. That they should have been there for me when I needed them. They had admitted that they realized that when Kier had married Danessa.

Unlike me, Kier was pretty much obedient. He will follow whatever my parents told him because he feared that they would get mad at him. I had never known that on his own, he was miserable until he reconnected with his daughter. That's when his love story started.

Denise is a risk taker. She is wise with everything. She knows when to use her heart and when not to. Like Kier, she experienced a hard time with her mother. She fought for attention with Danise. Only Kier made her feel special.

As for Elisha, she never gave up on me. She was always there for me. She knew me a lot like the back of her finger. She would always figure out eventually even if I don't tell her why I am suddenly quiet. Mostly, jealousy.

I am a jealous man. Yes, even geniuses get jealous. I used to be a man filled with insecurities. I spend a lot of time in front of the mirror. Just because I wanted to look good. Just because I want to be distinctive.

So much that I became a terror teacher. She made me realize that I was afraid to become a plain person. I wanted to be acknowledged for something. Deep inside me, I've hated the fact that nobody really liked me.

I get the least presents during teacher's day. I am secretly backstabbed. I used to say I loved it, but I honestly never did. Because I keep on asking myself, where do I belong? WHERE? 

BECAUSE I'M LOST IN MY OWN DARKNESS.

But she saved me from falling further. It was like I was being pulled by a pulley, only to be let go again twice. For some reason, whenever she left, she was the one who'll manage to come back. Good that she did.

Before I started to lack sense with this shit, because for me, I pretty much told everything already. It does not matter why she left, as long as she's back in my arms till death do us part.

I am Adam Kyrone Vallega, and I've finally found peace in my life.
