Life of an illiterate - S01 E13

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 13

CHRISTIAN got astonished seeing her. He never realized the world was so small that he would have to come across the same annoying young lady of the past again. He felt a little excited seeing her beautiful face and long eyelashes but the anger he had for her was till in his heart. He attempted to ignore her when she drew him closer giving him a very warm hug.

“I am really sorry Christian I am really really sorry. The truth is that I had always felt guilty for all I had done to you in the past. I never meant to have reacted that way. Please forgive me and forget the past will you? ” He felt uncomfortable and embarrassed and tried pulling her away but she wouldn’t let go. She was so insane to have forgotten his fellow mechanics were watching and that would talk. Aside that he was in a dirty coat too.

“This isn’t right Clara. You shouldn’t be hugging me ” He tried explaining to her but she still wouldn’t let go.

“Why? why can’t I hug you Christian? You are my friend after all”

“Just get out of here. You are embarrassing me”

“Forgive me First Christian. If you don’t then I won’t leave you”

“Clara try and understand. People are watching us. I can lose my job”

“I don’t care what people say at all. After all this is my brother in law company and no one dares fire you just like that. Just forgive me ones and for all and I swear I will stay away from you” Christian never realized his heart melting. He had tried hardening his heart to her feeling she was good for nothing someone but it seemed he didn’t feel that way anymore. For to have forgotten her status and hugged him in front of so many workers meant a lot. It really proves how sorry she was after all. He felt really guilty for trying to keep malice despite knowing she was just being immature. He wasn’t the kind of person that keeps malice after all. What she did really hurt him badly.

“It’s alright Clara. I forgive you” he finally gave in.

“No, I don’t believe you. Stare into my eyes and tell me you have really forgiven me from your heart” She insisted.

“Why are being such a drama queen? I have told you you are forgiven right? Don’t make the matter even worse”

“How worse can it get? Just stare into my eyes and tell me you have forgiven then I will let you go and never bother you again ” Christian felt so reluctant to do that. He felt she was driving him insane. Why was he going to stare at her now just to prove he wasn’t joking? What difference does that even make?

“Alright… ” He said pulling her away from him. He stared into her cute looking eyes and watch her eyeballs move from left to right following the movement of his face. He felt really weak for he had never stared at a woman before. He felt so stupid and turned away immediately. “Just leave me alone will you? I can’t do this and stop trying to charm me with your looks”

“What? Charm you? I am just pleading to you to forgive me that’s all. I am not charming you with anything and how can my looks charm you anyway? I am not so beautiful. Come on, ignite what you watch on TV and get this done with” She pleaded. He was really acting like a child and she was getting tired of explaining over and over again.

“Fine” He finally agreed. He stared at her and finally said what he ought to.

“I have forgiven you Clara. I really have” He got relieved he had finally fulfilled her wish and hope she leaves him as agreed but to his shock he caught sight of tears flowing down her eyes getting him surprised and worried he had hurt one way or the other.

“What have I done now? Why are you acting this way? ” He asked.

“I am just so happy seeing you again that’s all. There is no other reason I am shedding tears of joy” She answered with a relieved look. “At least my guilt is gone. I am no longer guilty over anything anymore. I am very glad to see you working really hard how to ought to as a man. Even my fiance doesn’t work as hard as that. It was really foolish for me to open my mouth and call you an illiterate when you are even far more better than most literates. Seriously you can get rich, get married to a good woman, have so many children, go on a honeymoon around the globe. Anyway it’s your life. You can live it anyhow you wish. Ones again, thanks for forgiving me” She appreciated taping him on the shoulder. He gave her a slight smile and nodded.

“I know I shouldn’t be saying this but I have to because my sister future is in danger as you can see” Sandra said as she approached where he stood watching Clara leave.

“What do you mean by that? ”

“The truth is Chris, my sisters had always have feelings for you a lot. She might not have shown it in her attitude but that’s the bitter truth we have to accept. I had realized it when we arrived to the states. She kept feeling guilty and guilty and wouldn’t even let me be at peace. I don’t know what you are thinking now but please don’t try and hurt her” Christian said nothing in reply. He only nodded and turned back to his work wondering what they wanted him to do. She had a fiance. He would handle her not him. There was no one he would screw an innocent girl relationship just like that…
