Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 29
Location: Boston, USA.
Letty brainstormed for hours over what best to teach such a delicate set of humans. What they needed wasnât condemnation or some sort of academic teachings. Words of inspiration, advice and encouragement would unfloatably sink in their memories. She took a trip down the memory lane; to her teenage years. To eat bone conviniently, you must be carnivorous! She recalled the avoidable mistakes sheâd made behind time due to her juvenile way of reasoning. The lady came up with a gist she tittled âREALITYâ.
Her audience were well carried along, she was glad they found meriment in her teachings; their facial expression spelt it out.
She felt some remorse, they were still very young and vibrant with bright indecipherable futures. She took consolation in the fact that they faced no capital punishments. In due course, theyâd all leave the rehab.
Letty loved creating illustrations while teaching. Diagrames paint a thousand words!. She learnt it from secondary school; she was good at geography and would most times tutor her colleagues in map reading. The lady was interrupted by a bold masculine voice. Letty seized drawing, facing her audience.
âi have a question, missâ tittered Nathan whoâd been a part of the audience from initial.
Letty looked at him for seconds, a gaze he could easily interprete as âhey mister! You are here to answer questions not create someâ he smiled, letty frowned.
âyes?â she stressed the word, urging him on. With sheer will.
âmiss, you said our emotions donât always paint fact. We shouldnât yeild simply âcause our body sayr soâ he paused. Letty nodded in affirmation.
âmy question, how about when i feel unusually attracted to someone? What do i do?â
gbam! His question struck her like a nail, penetrating all through her body. The question was directed to her, its answer had always been a black-eyed myth to her; a replica of what her feelings for him which she did nothing about, other than watch and drool. âuhmâŠ.iâd answer you after the sessionâ came her blunt reply, eased with a fake smile.
A teen girl raised her hand. âmay i?â Letty smiled. âof course. Go aheadâ
the girl stood to her feet, cleared her throat and began. âiâm Debby. Well i think what you feel is love, the fair thing to do is to profess it to her. Thank youâ
debby resumed her seating position honarably, she recieved standing ovation for being smart.
âi wish i can tell you, whole nine yards, Nathan.â letty whispered softly into the air, oblivious of the fact that her words sank in Nathan, who wasnât aware either. âthanks Debby, for interpreting my feelings. I think i love herâ the youngman whispered to his heart. They smiled in synchrony. A smile non of them prepared for, none even knew the other smiled. The distance between the was matched up with tons of teenagers; letty was on stage while Nathan, at the back audience seat.
The session ended smoothly with Nathan delivering a short impromtu speech.
a pack of pop corn darted from one palm to the other, her eyes feasted hungrily on every strand of its design. It was portably beautiful.
Small artistic red rose was a plus to its elegantic view. Letty drooled over the packâŠ.no not the pack, its rose. She had a softspot for red roses, it was a messanger of love. Love! What was she thinking? The pop corn was from Nathan, it canât possibly be love, afterall he didnât draw the rose, it was factory made.
Letty smiled and pinched herself silly at the fleet of contrasting thouggts sheâd been harbouring lately.
She had lunch with Nathan in the course of their interstice. It was his idea, she enjoyed it. Theyâd gone to an expensive eatery, nathan refused to set her free they also went to a fun-villa. Where theyâd bought toys and kid trending wears for the teenagers, ice cream and pop corn for them both. The cash flowed out of Nathanâs purse, it wasnât part of the outreach plan. The teens loved their gifts, Nathan and letty were highly appraised. Letty had her day in the sun, Nathan was just so bublee, bublee enough to wipe off her worries.
Letty closed her eyes, chewing the popcorn slowly. Making sure she savoured every taste of it. She wished her life would remain light up forever, with Nathan as the source of her lumination. That wasnât possible, it was the outreach that drew them this close. Theyâd return tomorrow and everything would fall back to what it used to be. She wished she could extend the hands of time, even atleast to be with Nathan for one more day! If wishes were horses sheâd definitely have an enviable ride on the stallion of love, the carpet of passion, plying the road of romance to her prince charming.
She closed her eyes slowly as tears triped down. Her cloud of darkness and living in the world of seeing but no touching was fast approaching, she could see it from afar like sages see disasterâŠ..she shoke her head and resumed chewing the damp corn. âi love you Nathan, i wish i could be bold enough to tell you before we return to our separate worldsâ she whispered silently, meaning every puncuation.
Jenny had her right foot on a wooden ebony stool, she was filing her nails whilst listening to the music player on her phone. Sheâd missed Letty so much but not anymore. In no distant time her friend would be back. Theyâd communicated last night via skype. The music stopped, her ringtone was swapt in. She murmured and, picking her phone. It was a strange number, she hesitated before clicking the answer button.
âhello, iâm i speaking with Jenny?â
the voice sounded shaky and worried. Jenny raised her brows. âyes. How may i help you?â
âleturah is in the hospital as we speakâ
âJesus christ! â jenny cried, her phone slipped off her hand before she could ask further questions.
Her body went cold with shivers as her upper and lower lips part contact, her tongue was shakingâŠ.
