CHAPTER 41: SHE IS MY MOM
“Hello, I am here for the parents' meeting and my child is in grade four. How do I go there?” Elektra politely asked as she looked at the female teacher.
The teacher was taken aback when she heard that, she didn’t expect that this young girl will have such an old child but when she recalls that a sister or an aunt can also be a parent, she was at ease.
“It’s very easy to go there. You need to ……………………………” the female teacher patiently gave Elektra the directions and Elektra was very grateful for that.
“Thank you,” Elektra spoke in gratitude after receiving what she wanted.
“You are welcome; I am just doing my job.”
Elektra left the teacher and followed the directions that she had been given. On her way to the classroom where she will be meeting the teachers. She also met a lot of people who looked at her with envy and worship in their eyes.
After a short walk, she finally arrived at the block where Anisha studied and it was easy from there.
Anisha had been patiently waiting for Elektra to come to her meeting, as students could pick their parents as long as it was before ten in the morning, she had been waiting outside of her class with her friends.
So, when she spotted Elektra after waiting for a long time, she was so happy she didn’t stop herself from flying and ran towards the other. Looking at her step-mom who looked very divine and beautiful, she was very proud to have such a mother.
At least she was now used to seeing her face otherwise she will be shocked whenever she sees her.
Inside the classrooms, someone called out, “there is a fairy outside!”
And just like that the kids were peeping out of the windows and some daring ones were already outside and all eyes were on Elektra who was smiling with her arms wide open for Anisha who was coming her way.
[Is that Ani’s mother?]
[She is so beautiful!]
[She is just like a fairy!]
The kids were very excited and they weren’t stingy with their compliments but the adults were different.
[Whose sister is that?]
[She can’t be possibly that little girl’s mother, she is too young for that.]
[Maybe the little girl’s father married the young girl.]
[Ahhhh, living in a world with such beautiful girls, how can our marriages last with such vixens?]
The women were especially jealous seeing someone so beautiful and weird that they just wanted to eat the other up and demean her.
Elektra happily scooped Anisha in her arms and planted a kiss on her cheek as she was happy to see the little girl even though they were together earlier in the morning.
“Mommy, you look beautiful! Why didn’t you put on a veil?” Anisha was very happy that she can show off her step-mom but at the same time, she was also
worried.
Elektra was just too beautiful for her own good and her dad was a vinegar eater, she had witnessed that personally. So, she was a bit nervous that her dad will go crazy once he learns that Elektra came bare-faced.
“I wanted everyone to know that Anisha has a pretty mother and if I hide behind the veil, won't people mock us and look down on you?” Elektra didn’t want the parents or the teachers to talk behind Anisha’s back simply because she hides her face under the veil.
Anisha felt very touched listening to this, she knew how much Elektra loathed attention. At first, she was curious about her face and after seeing it, she didn’t want others to see it again.
It was better for Elektra to hide her face than to go around like this but since it was for just a couple of hours; she can manage that.
Anisha shyly looked at Elektra and murmured, “thank you.”
Elektra beamed out with a smile and ruffled Anisha’s hair which made the little girl pout and this made Elektra chuckle as the little girl looked very cute.
“Let’s go to class now before the teachers get impatient,” Elektra urged the young girl as she didn’t want to cause a scene on the first day.
On her way, she realized that the students were busy looking at her shyly and their whispers were just too crazy to listen to. She didn’t get mad at them as sometimes her own looks shock her.
When they arrived at Anisha’s class, the students who were outside quickly surrounded her and began to bombard Anisha with questions. If the homeroom teacher didn’t save them, they were going to be doomed.
Elektra found a chair next to Anisha and calmly sat down and began to talk to Anisha. The classroom was quickly filled with parents and the meeting began.
The meeting was mostly about the homeroom teacher summarizing the whole situation of the class with the parents. Elektra listened attentively and after listening to the male teacher for twenty minutes, it was finally time for the parents to meet the teachers personally.
Elektra followed Anisha who led her to the hall where the teachers were and waited for the parents to come and exchange some issues. Elektra didn’t hurry as she had all the time in the world.
Finally, it was her time and she patiently listened as the teachers praised her child. She was very proud of Anisha but she didn’t overdo it as this will only make the girl have a huge ego.
Elektra met all the teachers and by the time she was done, they all knew that she was Anisha’s young step-mom. It was around two in the afternoon when they were done and she was starving and needed some food. Anisha dragged her to the cafeteria since it was open as many students had not eaten as they were still occupied.
Looking at Elektra’s face, the servers in the cafeteria couldn’t help but be biased and for the first time, Anisha found herself looking at a mountain of food.
