Chapter 30: Chapter 30

"Andrius ..." Anya whispered as he released her.

"Anya, are you okay?" from where Sir Ryan appeared with concern on his face. Anya looked at it for a moment and immediately looked back at the mysterious man earlier but it was no longer there.

She looked around but the place where they were was very dark. Anya walked quickly to see the area illuminated by the lights but saw nothing but students at night.

"Hey, are you looking for something?" Ryan whispered to her again.

Anya stared at him as she took it. Her heart was still beating so fast. She was sure that she saw Andrius' eyes. Or so she thought. She didn't know. She was confused. She was uncertain.

"Did you see that?" she asked him.

"What?" Ryan's confused answer to her.

Suddenly the girl grabbed the collar of her co-teacher uniform and pulled his face close to hers and kissed the young man.

Anya kissed Ryan Pimentel in front of the College of Arts building. Right in front of the Night Class students. Everyone applauded for what she had done but she did not care. She shifted her eyes and burst into tears.

Andrius Monterio in his piercing blue eyes stared at her. He was standing in font of the school gate. He was eyeing her. A glint of anger was evident on his face.

But, Anya didn't care.

All she cared was a little glimpse of Andrius' handsome face and how she missed him.

"Andrius!" Anya shouted at the young man as she watched it go away. She followed him even though it was dark all around. But, her hope lost when he did not even look at her and rode in his parked car.

Anya touched her chest and patted it slowly. It was throbbing in pain.

"Are you okay ma'am?" A student asked her. Anya looked at it and nodded slightly.

"Ma'am Anya, what's the problem? Are you okay? I never thought, you would kiss me," Sir Ryan asked her one question after another. He was still embarrassed and scratched his head while not staring into her eyes.

"Sorry Sir," Anya apologized when she remembered what she had done here earlier.

"Because of that?" his astonishing question. His handsome face frowned as he stared at her in confusion.

"For kissing you. I'm sorry, Sir Ryan," Anya continued as she quickly left in front of the stunned man.

Anya ordered herself. Sometimes she also didn't think clearly. Desperate to see the young man again, he thought of kissing his fellow teacher in front of the Night Class students.

"Argh! Really stupid!" she weakly punished herself.

While in class Anya did not pay much attention to what she was saying. Her brain was flying at things.

How did Andrius find her? Or if it searched for her for what reason? She thought that he hated her. So why was he here now?

Anya wanted to answer so many questions but no one could tell her but Andrius. But, he was gone.

"Ma'am, it's time. Essay writing is over. These are our papers," one of her students grabbed her attention. Anya nodded and looked around the classroom. Everyone was busy arranging their belongings and they looked like they would come out.

Anya looked at her wristwatch and looked at the time. It was past nine thirty in the evening. She also stood up and took the student's answer sheet. She would no longer go to the College of Teacher Education building. She would just take the student papers to their house.

Anya came out just in time when her fellow teacher Sir Ryan stopped her. The girl frowned because it looked like he had been waiting for her for a while.

"Why Sir? Is there a problem?" Anya asked in surprise.

"You owe me an explanation ma'am. You just kiss me in public. Then you say, sorry?" he replied.

The young man accompanied her on the walk and seemed to be bored and talked to her. He was still on her back and looked annoyed at what was happening.

Anya sighed before facing Ryan. She also looked around to see the students coming out. They were already outside the campus so she could breathe easily without them caring about what was going on between her fellow teacher.

"I already told you my apology Sir for kissing you. It does not mean that I kissed you, I want you," Anya said.

"What?! You're that kind of woman?" it was a shocking question.

Anya caught off-guard. What she heard from the suitor could not be overstated. To everyone else he will said those words to her. She laughed at him sarcastically, afterwards. She was judged again.

"Now you know, you can leave me. It's late. I'm going home," Anya said in conviction.

"I'll take you," he offered.

"No, Thank you!" Anya answered immediately. She no longer wanted to be indebted to the man. She knew immediately what his secret was, even though she did not know him well.

"It will be delivered--"

Ryan did not finish anything he wanted to say when Andrius suddenly appeared in front of them. What Anya knew was that he had left, so she was stunned to see him up close.

"If the girl said no, respect it!" Andrius said firmly to Ryan who looked back and forth between the two of them. "Now, go!" he added.

"Who are you? Your arrogance, ah!"

Anya looked at Ryan sharply because of what he said. He seemed to be challenging because of the fight. Andrius smiled at what the latter said.

"Ryan, leave! Please, don't make a scene here," she said to the young man and shook her shoulder.

Andrius raised an eyebrow as he watched the two. When he could no longer bear it, he pulled the girl closer to him. He held her tightly in her hand so that she would not stand still.

"Tssk! You have a day with me, too. Remember what I looked like!" the young teacher said proudly before leaving them. He even jumped into his car and blew his horn a few times.

When the man left, Anya faced Andrius who was staring at her intently. His blue eyes pierced through her soul.

"I-I'm..."

The girl could not continue what she was going to say with the masculinity of her eyes when she suddenly hugged him. Anya was stunned. It was so tight the way he hugged her as if he didn't want to let her go.

After a while Anya let herself hugged him too. Anya rested her head on Andrius chest while she wrapped her arms at his back. The girl could feel the young man's heartbeat almost at the same time as her heartbeat.

Five years. Five years of how she loved to hug him again but couldn't. And now that he was here in front of her, it may not be superfluous if she gave himself up.

Anya was home. For five years, she was finally home. Andrius' embrace was her sanctuary. It still soothed her raging heart.

Anya's chest tightened and she seemed to have difficulty breathing, again. She also blinked several times to wipe away the tears that were forming in her eyes. She missed him. She missed him so much.

"I hate you, for leaving me. But I fucking miss you too. You know how unfair you are to me, Anya?" Andrius whispered at the top of her head. His voice was full of resentment which further caused the girl's heartache.

Because of what he said, the tears she had been holding back were completely shed. That seemed to be the case. He had been deceitful to him in many things.

But how could she tell the young man the things, if she was still afraid of what might happen to them. She was afraid for her son. She feared for Andrius and his company.

Anya quickly wiped the tears from her eyes with one hand. She also looked around and when she saw no one noticing them she breathed a sigh of relief.

Anya hoped it was just like this. She hoped everything was that easy. Andrius hugged her while she hugged him too. Simple thing but hard to get.

"I can't breathe, Andrius," she whispered here.

Moments later the young man released her and stared into her eyes. His blue eyes reflected his sadness and longing for the girl for the past five years.

Andrius was a wreck when Anya left. Simultaneously with its departure was the destruction of his heart. He was angry at what she did to him but he could not deny to himself how much he missed her.

He wanted to ask the girl many questions that only she could answer. He wanted to clarify a lot that until now there was still no answer. And now that he has found her, he would make sure that the girl should pay for what she did to him. Especially the destruction she made in his heart.

Andrius stared at Anya and hugged her tightly, again. Her embrace would be the first payment for what she did to him.

"I wanted to hug you like this. Kiss you senseless and punish you. But for now, let us stay like this for a while Anya. You and me," he whispered to the maiden.

The young man felt the girl nod so he tightened his grip even more. When he got bored, he took her inside his car that was parked not far from the university he was attending.

Andrius slightly smiled when Anya let him do what he wanted to do to her. When he got the girl in his car, he stared at her intently. She didn't change a bit. It was even more beautiful in his eyes.

"Where are you taking me?" Anya questioned him. Her eyes were uncertain.

"In the place where only you and me," he replied.

Andrius reached out to the girl and caressed her beautiful face. His eyes caressed the whole of her and without hesitation he kissed her from the tip of her nose down to her beautiful lips.

Andrius closed his eyes, instantly. Anya did the same. Lightly caressed each other's lips. For them, kissing was still the punishment they wanted for each other.

As Andrius was kissing his nerdy secretary, the feeling was divine. He had been longing for her kisses and now that she was here. He would never let her go, again.

His first love. His first heartache. His Anya de Vega.
