Forced to Marry a Student
Amendment

“I want Mom to marry me.”

Hearing those words, Michaela immediately stood up with round eyes staring at Arka. A sentence that made him very surprised and never crossed his mind as a reward that Arka would ask for.

“Married to you?”

“Iya. The request is not against the law and can also be done,” replied Arka casually while continuing to look towards Michaela.

“Do not be silly, Arka. You think, getting married is just messing around?”

“I am very serious. Do I look messy?”

“Married it is not a joke that is used as a bet. That's a lifetime responsibility.”

“I will be responsible to Mom my whole life.”

“Enough, Archa. Stop all your games!”

Michaela began to be unable to hold back her emotions. “You better get out now!”

It seemed pointless that Michaela continued the plan to change Arka for the better.

“Mother wants me to no longer look for trouble and become an exemplary student who has the highest grades, right? I can do it.”

Micaela looked at Arka who was also looking with a defiant look towards her.

This kid, is there any way he can do it?

Michaela kept looking at Arka to convince herself.

I think it was just his momentary crazy desire. She couldn't possibly marry her own teacher and give up her youth with me. Or, perhaps, he purposely did it to frighten me and withdraw my request?

“How? Or did Mom actually fall for me so she kept looking at me all this time?”

Mikaela clucking. Only this time did he find a disciple who was this brave to him.

“Alright! I accept your challenge. I want to know how hard you're trying.”

Uh one minute! Why do I agree immediately?

What Michaela said was not in line with what she was thinking.

Arka immediately smiled widely. Eventually, his wish would soon be realized. Turned into good and obtained the highest grade in the class? Arka could even do it without any meaningful effort.

“For now we shake hands first as a deal of both of us.” Arka stretched out her hand and was greeted with slight hesitation by Michaela. “I will make a letter of agreement so that Mother cannot deny with Mother's own words.”

“Su—deal letter? Must be like that?’

“Of course! I seriously want Mom to marry me. And I won't let Mom have any loopholes to dodge.”

Relax Mikaela. He must be bluffing you. At his current age, he must have loved a challenge. But, about getting married? He couldn't have been that crazy, and his parents wouldn't have possibly agreed he married a woman five years older than him.

“OK! Deal!” Arka clasped Michaela's hand and pulled Michaela's body closer. “Consider the freedom of the Mother who is only two months away. After that, don't expect Mom to be able to smile at other men, besides me,” whispered Arka right next to Michaela's ear.

Michaela directly pushed the strong body of Arka. There was a dark side of Arka that was sometimes frightening to Michaela.

“Ka—you can get out now.”

“Of course. After getting out of this room, I will be the person that Mom wants me to be.” Arka's winning smile accompanies her departure which begins to make Michaela regret her decision.

Arka even turned around with a smile, as if she knew that Michaela was watching her.

“I hope he's not serious about his wishes. There's no way he's serious, right? She is 18 years old, how could she have the desire to marry a woman older than her?”

Since Arka came out of the teacher room, Arka's attitude was completely opposite to what she did. Previously, Arka was a friendly and pleasant student, and she kept the same attitude, just that there was no more delinquency that she did.

Already this month, Arka was no longer summoned to the teacher's room. Surprisingly, this made Michaela nervous. Arka seemed to have no trouble becoming a good student.

“I was really amazed,” praise Mr. Johan, the principal, to Mikaela as they met in the school hallway. “No more complaints about Arka delinquency. What exactly did you tell him?”

“Oh, Arka only needs to be spoken to carefully and given understanding, Mr.”

“Only that?” mr. Johan's forehead shriveled as a sign that he did not believe to conquer Arka only need with words.

Mikaela nodded with a smile.

Of course Michaela could not have said anything about the foolish agreement he signed one day after he and Arka shook hands. Arka actually carries a stamped covenant letter to bind him.

“Good. I hope he stays like this until graduation. I'm sorry.”

“Good, Sir.”

Michaela walked to the class to teach.

Like a class in general without a teacher, it is certain that the class will be noisy and students will be engrossed in their respective activities.

All of that instantly turned silent as Michaela walked into the classroom. Everyone sat neatly in their own place.

Already one month Arka also moved to sit in the front row with the reason that he could concentrate better. Of course the real reason is not that.

Arka deliberately sat at the very front only when Michaela was teaching. He wanted to look at Michaela up close during the lesson and make sure she would look at him more often.

“Test result last week is done I check. Mom will share it. Mom will call randomly and after that you can go home.”

One by one the names were called by Michaela, and the name Arka was the last name he called. Michaela did it on purpose because there was something she wanted to talk about with Arka.

“You didn't reach the target we agreed on. Your grade did not reach the highest value.”

“Our deal is for the final test, right? Are you worried that our deal will be void because I failed, and you won't marry me?

The classroom was empty, which was why Arka dared to speak so clearly.

“You should be more serious. I know you can get better grades than this.” Michaela chose to ignore Arka's words.

“Perhaps, I need guidance from a teacher so that my grades can improve by leaps and bounds.” Arka leaned her body towards Michaela. “How about after the lesson is over, Mom gives me extra guidance?”

Michaela retreated her chair to keep her distance. “Mom think, you can go home now.”

Arka smiled. There was an interesting idea that popped up inside his head.

“I'll be home, think of my request.”

Arka exits the classroom, but does not head for the school's main gate. He headed for a room that would realize the brilliant idea that had just emerged earlier.
