Chapter 16: Made me love you more

Cerulean Asha POV

Today's the first day of school and I am excited to bring Azure with me on our first day of class.

Well, actually, the school will held a little program for the newcomers in school.

The good thing with our school, it permits visitors to join us with the program as long as it's one of the school student's visitor.

Still wearing my banana pajamas, I excitedly and loudly knock on Azure's door to wake him up because I know he is still sleeping

Who wouldn't be when its just 5 o'clock in the morning.

My loud knocks didn't last long when I heard Azure's morning voice in irritation and that made me giggle a little bit.

Looks like somebody's going to breath fire today, should I start to hide? Nah, I was just joking.

I was going to knock again when the door opened up, showing me Azure in his morning ruffled black hair and sleepy eyes.

"What is it Asha? It's still dark outside" he said sleepily "It's the first day of class! so get up because you are going with me" I exclaim in excitement dismissing what he said earlier.

Azure mumbled something about 'school' and 'hate it' which made my spirit down.

Maybe he doesn't want to come and I am disturbing his sleep.

This is my first day of school and he has nothing to do with this.

"Oh I'm sorry, it looks like you hate going to school" I said apologetically "You can go back to sleep Azure, I'm sorry to disturb you" I continued

I took a step back but he stopped me by grabbing my right arm

"You woke me up Asha take responsibility of it" he said with a darkened face that made me step back

He saw my reaction and his face become gentle again like how he used to looked at me since I first saw him and it made my heart beat faster again.

Stop! stop! stop right there heart! What's the beating for huh? I slightly shake my head and sigh to calm my beating heart.

"I'm sorry Asha, it's not that I hate going to school with you, I just hate the first day of school because it bores me" he admitted and smiled at me

I laughed awkwardly while pulling my right arm softly and smile at him "Oh it's okay. This will never bore you" I said assuring him and led him to the table to eat the breakfast I made earlier

Aurelius Azure POV

I am folding the sleeve of the black fitted long sleeve shirt partnered up with brown pants and white sneakers that I proudly wear.

I never felt so proud wearing simple clothes like these knowing that it came from the money I earn working on the rice and vegetable field of Uncle M with sweats like bullets under the scorching sun

It was the same vegetable vendor I saw when I got here for a brief seconds, he was so simple walking around the community despite the large size of land he own

Asha introduce me to him when I said that I want to earn money to help her buy the things we need and the clothes I will wear

Call me a proud person but I can't bear to always accept the things I need and depend the cost we will spend to Asha.

I am a man with a strong body that can work and so I will take advantage of it.

I will not make myself a burden, the life I had in the mansion are way different with the life I am dealing right now.

I no longer had the luxury I used to had out of my parents money.

I need to learn how to earn from the bottom for me to able appreciate the simple things in life which I took for granted because I got lucky with the parents I had.

While working and giving the half of the money I earn to Asha which she sometimes don't accept but in the end of a long discussion she can't do anything but to accept and spend it.

I can't help to blush every time I think like we were married because I work all day on the field while she stays home and work here, like a couple happily married.

The neighbors asked things about me to Asha and what was my relationship to her but we only said that Asha was helping me and then we kept our silence letting them think what they want.

I can't still help myself smile in hope with the simple thought I had in mind

I suddenly hid my smile when I heard Asha cleared her voice "What was that smile for?" she asked "Oh nothing I was thinking of something" I half admitted

"Oh okay?" she replied in uncertainty and then shakes her head slightly "Anyway, what do you think of my outfit?" she then asked and turned around slowly

I can't helped gaped at her simple beauty.

She is wearing a turtle neck light blue long sleeve crop top that has a printed word of 'life is beautiful' with a butterfly resting on the last letter of the word 'beautiful'

She partnered it with a knee length high waist black fading to silver at the bottom of the pleated chiffon skirt and a silver heeled ribbon strap sandals

She let her wavy hair down and apply a reddish pink lipstick that help her beauty to stand out

"Hey Azure is it that bad?" she asked and looked at her self in the mirror when I didn't answered her

I suddenly cleared my throat and spoke "You're beautiful Asha" I said sincerely that made her blush

"Thank you Azure, let's go?" She said and so we went on our way to her school

When we arrive at her school, I couldn't believe what were my eyes seeing.

I thought Asha were studying on a non-private school because of the financial problem she wrote on her diary but I was wrong.

She is studying in one of the prestigious academy in the country the Alzamera Academy where only children born with a golden spoon usually study at.

Just how much does nanny Carmen salary is and if she can avail to this kind of education why does she wrote as if they were in a tight financial problem?

I just shrug the thought out, maybe I'll ask her when we returned home because Asha sure looks like excited for her to almost drag me.

For a woman with thin body, she's strong to drag a man like me.

Not to boast, but slowly I gained what was my body before because of the work I do at the rice and vegetable field.

We only stop when we are inside of a large theater that could accommodate all the student of the academy and its visitor.

She let me sit on the very front of a stage "Wait for me here Azure okay?" she said and I just nod at her, unable to talk because she already left me and just hand me her bag

Few minutes later the whole theater lights turned off only the stage were well lighted on

A music then started to play, it was 'clap snap' of Icona pop and the whole student started to cheer like they were watching a concert

They were four girls slowly walking to the front, they came from the side by two and uniting as they walk close to each other and they all wear masks that only covers they eyes

They sang and dance like a popstar that it made not just me but everyone enjoy the music.

All four of them either wears black or silver skirt shorts partnered up either on a fluffy white or silver crop top and a black heeled boots.

Their hair were all tight up like Ariana Grande's hair that sway with every move they make

"Wait! They were the ones who won the championship of the popstar of last years' festival right? the Alze girls?" I overheard the conversation of the female students sitting behind me.

"Yes! Yes! It's them" the other confirmed and they both cheered and the whole crowd started to chant their names and it made me stilled

They were chanting names but what caught my attention was Asha's name and it made me looked at the stage in surprise when I hear a very familiar voice singing.

The Alze girls started to take off their mask when they were starting to sing the last part and readying to dance again when the crowd starts to heat up and stand up to sing along.

I stood up when I saw Asha on the stage happily dancing and singing.

At that moment I never saw such happiness in her eyes that it made her in my eyes glows like a real popstar
