Chapter 1: Meeting Him

...ARCO...

... ...

..."Arcoooooooo!!!!"...

... ...

...I close my ear with my palm when I hear a noise coming from my sister's mouth. Why she's always doing it every morning...

... ...

..."Daisy! Can you please lower your voice? Can't you see I'm sleeping!?"...

... ...

...I shout at her. I hate it when someone wakes me up. I don't know if it was her hobby to ruin my peaceful sleep or if it was her ritual every morning....

... ...

..."Tsk! Tsk! Arc, wake up; we are going to be late!"...

... ...

..."Fine, fine, wait for me 5 minutes; I'm done."...

... ...

...I told my brother Braiden, who was taking a sip of coffee,...

... ...

...I just go to the bathroom and do my things....

... ...

...After a few minutes, I'm done....

... ...

...I opened my room door, and I saw the two of them....

... ...

..."Arc, seriously? How can you be a teacher if you don't know how to read the time? It's already 7:30 in the morning."...

... ...

...Daisy said, and I just raised my left eyebrow at them. It's not that I can't read the time; I just love to sleep in this cold place with a cold season....

... ...

..."C'mon, let's go and stop nagging me, okay? We are going to be late if you nag me first.”...

... ...

...I told them, and they just rolled their eyes at me. I heard Daisy start to murmur, but I just ignored her; it was her hobby anyway....

... ...

...We go to my car, and I start the engine....

...I drive all the way to school not to learn; I'm a teacher, a professional one. Actually, all three of us were teachers....

... ...

...But we are not teaching in a private or public school; we are a voluntary teacher in some part of our community that is far away from the city; it is Thirty minutes from our home. We want to help those children who want to learn, and because we have knowledge, we are not afraid to share it....

... ...

...You may be wondering why we are doing this. We just like it. Actually, we're doing this not to be heroes or anything; we're doing it because we want to help. Financial problems were not a problem for us because we have a company that my two brothers manage, and sometimes I manage it....

... ...

...It was kind of weird since I teach and do some business; it was like we were multi-tasking. But even though it was hard, I love my work because I love teaching....

... ...

...I stop the Car in a mini-parking lot here at the foot of the mountain, where the community is located at the top of it....

... ...

...And yes, we need to climb from here to reach them....

... ...

..."C'mon guys, get all your things and let's start climbing!"...

... ...

...My sister Daisy said that he was the one who walked first. At first, I didn't want to go here; it was a remote area and was not gaining a lot of attention from the government because of the location of that village. It was hard to reach, but seeing the smile of those children who were happily learning from us? It warms my heart....

... ...

..."Tsk, spacing out again, Arc? C'mon, stop smiling, you creepy geezer? You look like an idiot."...

... ...

...My brother Braiden said, Walk and follow Daisy....

... ...

...I just rolled my eyes and started climbing the mountain. I don't know if my siblings really love me so much....

... ...

...After Twenty minutes of climbing the mountain, we are finally here. I smell the scent of the flowers around the village....

... ...

...And I saw some of the children running towards us with a wide smile on their faces....

... ...

..."Teacher! Teacher!"...

... ...

...That was all they said to the three of us....

... ...

..."Teacher, are you going to sleep here tonight? We are having a celebration because it is the birthday of our elder son, who just came here this early morning!"...

... ...

...One of the children said I kneeled to him and giggled as I pecked his chubby cheeks; he just rubbed it and pouted. That was so cute....

... ...

..."Of course we will go to sleep here tonight, and I will tell you more stories."...

... ...

...I happily say it to them, and they all shout joyfully, and that makes me smile....

... ...

..."Go to our class room; I just changed my clothes, and I will be there."...

... ...

...I said, and they all nodded and ran away from me....

... ...

...I just stand and go to my room....

...Yes, we all have our own room here in the village. Their elders make it a gift to the three of us, so if we can't go home and we are tired, we can sleep and rest here....

... ...

...I opened the door and put my things in my room. It was just a simple room; every part of it was made of bamboo, from the window to the ceiling and bed. It's just like living in the past when you're here in their village. That's why I like it; I can feel that I'm part of this village....

... ...

...I removed my t-shirt and shorts; I'm just wearing a boxer. I got my towel, took off my boxer, and put the towel on my waist since I'm not comfortable taking a shower or a bath with a cloth on my body, and besides, no one could see me....

... ...

...I open the bathroom and go inside. The bathroom was nice; it's still a modern comfort room, but again, the wall was all made from bamboo, and I don't mind if some try to watch me while I'm here because the wall is really made to secure whoever is inside of it, so you can't see anything....

... ...

...I removed my towel on my waist and i open the shower, feel the warm of the water, yes this village on the top of the mountain have a shower it was because we gave some donation to this village so some of their things are modern they have electricity, It's the children who can't walk and take a ride the school was so far her it take Thirty minutes to reach it from here....

... ...

...That's why we are here to volunteer to teach them since we are licensed....

... ...

...I closed the shower, and then I was able to get my towel when the door opened....

... ...

...My small eyes turned wide when I saw a man that was half *****, and I looked to his face, and he was looking at me, not directly to my face but directly to my... I get my towel and put it on my waist when I realize that I'm totally *****....

... ...

...I saw him grin at me, and then I felt embarrassed....

... ...

..."What are you looking at? And what are you doing in my room?"...

... ...

...I asked him, but he didn't answer my question. I just shrugged my shoulders and asked the elder, Who is this bastard?...

... ...

...I was going to leave when he grabbed my hand....

... ...

...But it was the wrong move; it was really a very bad move....

... ...

...Because I lost my balance, I removed the towel from my hand and held his hand to stay still, but he lost his balance too, and the scene that I never imagined was happening right now....

... ...

..." Ahhhhhhhhh!"...

... ...
