Forced to Marry a Student
Billing Promises
Almost a month this Michaela gave an additional lesson twice a week that was not actually needed by Arka.
This opportunity Arka used to get to know Michaela better and make Michaela get used to her presence.
Evidently with a slight improvement in their communication and the awkwardness of Mikaela who looked much reduced. However, that did not satisfy Arka because Arka could not win Michaela's heart.
Michaela did look more familiar to him, but his treatment was nothing special. It was the same as treating the other students. Even Michaela looked more familiar with Julian.
Arka must be patient. Next week is the time for final exams. Arka is confident in the value she will get. All he had to worry about was the possibility of Michaela trying to cancel their agreement.
Arka did not want to use threats to marry Michaela. His attempt to get close to Michaela did not want him to be corrupted with a secret that Arka had about Michaela.
Today, the first day of the midterm exam begins. Every disciple looked tense, but not with Arka. He looks relaxed and confident.
Arka opened the given problem and smiled. It's not hard for him to do all that stuff. Her watered-down brain was actually too high to attend an ordinary school like this.
Were it not for Michaela, it would have been impossible for Arka to move from a top school for genius children, and to choose an ordinary school like this.
His request was briefly about by his father, but after knowing the reason for Arka, his father allowed, on the condition that Arka was willing to continue his education and inherit his family company.
The final exam has passed and today the announcement of the test results came out.
Students race each other to see a large board that displays their exam results.
Arka just stood in the school corridor while watching all her friends.
“Arka! Hows it? Have you seen your test results?” greet Mr. Johan who was passing through the corridor and found Arka who looked relaxed unlike his friends who crowded.
“Not yet, but I already know the result.”
“Mr likes your confidence. Congratuations. You don't have to look there. You get perfect grades in all subject areas. Until now, only you can achieve perfect results in this school.” Mr. Johan patted Arka on the shoulder with pride.
Mr. Johan did not think that the Ark could really change. No longer looking for problems, even the value rose rapidly, although previously the value was not below the class average.
“Looks like Mikaela's mother managed to turn you into a good child in no time. I'm pretty amazed.”
Arka smiled. He remembered that it was time for him to take Michaela's promise.
Can Arka imagine, Michaela must be currently feeling riled because Arka managed to reach the highest value and no longer make any problems.
“I'm sorry, sir. There's someone I should meet.”
“Do you want to thank Mother Mikaela?” ask Mr. Johan who looks curious. It seemed like the principal had a great curiosity.
“Iya. Of course I want to thank him.”
“Good. Then you'll leave immediately. Madam Mikaela looked like she was getting ready to go home.”
Going home? He dared to go home before he met me? He must have deliberately avoided.
Arka immediately set foot towards the teacher's room. He would not let Michaela get away from him. The agreement will not be cancelled for any reason.
Arka accidentally did not enter the teacher's room, but instead chose to wait for Micaela outside her room while leaning beside the door.
Not long after that the door of the teacher's room opened and Mikaela came out unaware of Arka's whereabouts as she was talking to someone on her phone.
“Try escape?”
A surprised Michaela almost drops her phone if Arka doesn't catch it immediately. Arka had seen the name listed on the screen of Michaela's phone and he just turned it off.
Michaela who saw his call cut off just like that became annoyed. “I'm talking to Mr Julian, why did you want to turn off that call?”
“It seems like someone has intentionally forgotten something. Now, I have the right to determine who can be close to you.”
“Courteous talk Arka. And give me back my phone!”
“Aren't you now my future wife? So, we should change the way we communicate so that we can be more familiar.”
“We talk again another time. Now I have to go.”
“Go with Juls?” Arka emphasized the word Juls as a sign that he did not like the man, including the way Michaela called his name.
“It's none of your business.”
Arka immediately pushed back Mikaela's body into the teacher's room and locked her.
“You what are you?”
Michaela was pressed between Arka's body and the wall behind her.
“Do not mess around Arka! It's in school!” snapped Mikaela who was looking for a way to escape.
“So, if not at school, I am free to do anything?”
“Jaga. I'm still your teacher.”
“No one's here.”
“Let me go, Arka. We'll talk while we sit down, okay?”
“And you will try to escape?”
“You think I can run from you?”
“Can only. Who knows.”
“I'm serious, Arka. We'll sit down, okay?”
Arka looked at Michaela's serious-looking face. Finally Arka stepped back to make room for Michaela.
Mikaela walked straight towards the sofa in the room. It felt relieved to be able to break away from the Arka who intimidated him.
“Congratulations because you managed to occupy the first position and fulfill your promise for the last two months.”
Arka smiled. He knew that Michaela was making small talk to him out of nervousness.
“Then, how about the rewards?”
“Arka, listen to Mom. You're only 18. Do you want your youth to be wasted by marrying Mom? What if someday, you find a woman who turns out to be your soul mate?”
“I determine my own soul mate.”
“What about your parents? What would they say if they knew you were going to marry an older woman, who is your own teacher?”
“They already know. They don't mind as long as I continue my education and agree to inherit their company.”
Of course Arka lied a little. His father knew, but not his mother.
Michaela was running out of excuses. At first, he hoped that Arka's parents didn't know. So, he could use that excuse to make Arka give up.
“There are other reasons you want to use to try to dissuade me from marrying you?”
“Mommy is just trying to open your mind. You will regret if you force marriage at your age now with a woman you do not even know well.”
“It can be done in line with time. What I know now, is enough to make me marry you.”
Michaela's phone rang a second time. The same name on her phone screen.
Arka glanced at the phone screen located not far from her.
Mikaela took the phone and wanted to answer the call.
Arka immediately stared intently at Michaela by hinting that she would not pick up the call, but Michaela ignored her.
“Halo, Juls.”
Hearing the name so familiarly called, Arka clenched her hand.
“Iya. I'll be done soon. Wait for me at the school gate only.”
Michaela ended the call.
“Sorry, Arka. I have to go now. I have an appointment with Mr. Julian. We'll talk again tomorrow, okay?”
Michaela picked up her bag and walked past Arka. Arka immediately drew Michaela's hand which made Michaela's steps stop.
“If you dare to leave me and go with him, you will regret.”
The aura of the Ark felt different. Michaela had never seen the current figure of Arka. He did not need to look and look at Arka to know how horrible the look of Arka's face was at this time.
