"T hank you sensei, I’ll see you tomorrow,” a student hugs me after school today.

“Such a lovely girl.  I feel so special.”

“Oh my, I have quite a bit of grading to do today, but it’s not too much.  I can do it.

*sigh* better start now.

Ahh this one, alright, few more, okay…

with utmost concentration…

yes few more…

just like that, few more minutes.

Finished.”
“Do I have everything, I think so.”

“Kobanwa, sensei,” calls a voice in the hallway.

“Konnichi…” the voice shyly calls entering with a bow.

“Sensei, I need a hug.”

Arisa stands in my room unflinching, unmoving with this blank, emotionless stare on her face.

“I don’t know…”
“Aww. Arisa,” I take her into my arms, and set her down in a chair.  All I want to right now is love, love the students for the unique people they are.

I look at her and she smiles a little. *sigh*
I’m glad to have helped her a little bit, makes me happy.”

“Arigato, sensei, you’re a super nice person.  What makes you want to be so close to us?”

“Well, I just do, there isn’t really any specific reason.  I know that sounds odd, but some things don’t have to have a reason,” I place my hands on her shoulder and smile at her as she did to me.  All I want to do is to love and be loved.

“Sensei. Domo arigato, really, I admire you so much.”

After we talk for a while, I’m able to make sense why my students keep coming back to me like they do.  They trust me and because they do they’ve learned that I might be the only person who will listen to them.  And that means a lot to me, because they are able to be open with me about what they struggle with.  I really do want to help them, it’s just who I am.

So in school today we covered adjectives and structure.  I gave them a little assignment that I didn’t feel was too hard,” I say as I log this in my notebook.  So it seems to be that I’m getting a good feel for the messages that I want to put into my lesson plans.  To combine life lessons and love into school.  I think this is something that has been placed on my heart by God.  To spread the love that I have in my heart to my students and my Nadia.

Just as any other day I grab my belongings I need to go home, but before I leave the school completely, the head mistress stops me and I notice that a lady is walking along side with her.

Right away, I notice that it’s her wife that she always talks about.

“Minori, I’d like you to meet my wife, Iyashita, Selene… Selene meet a colleague of mine Tamura, Minori… she is a very good teacher,” the headmistress bows and shows her wife.

I take one look at Selene and I already feel hope.  Just from how she carries herself, I can tell she is happy to be married to Maya.  They really give me hope for my relationship.  Selene is a beautiful woman, that compliments Maya very well.  Maya holds Selene’s hand so tenderly and reminds me of how I hold Nadia’s.  She has slightly shorter hair than Maya, but she has a slim and well-built figure.  Her dress sports lavender, gold, and blue swirly strips.  But just like her wife beside her she too has a matching locket with her wife’s picture inside.   I can just tell they are very devoted to each other.

One look at them and I already see they are what I desire to be with Nadia.

“Dear God,

I just thank you for my love Selene…

Guide Maya and I to do what is right….

Secure our trust in one another…

And make us ready for your purpose for us….

Amen”

They whisper silently to one another.

“Sorry about that Tamura-sensei, we were just praying, we usually do it at home, but we just decided to do it here today…” the head mistress smiles at Selene.

“It was very nice to meet you Tamura-san, I hope you’ll have a good time here at the academy.  You should be in good hands,” Selene winks at her wife, “See you soon.”

“Bye,” I bow and begin leaving for the bus.  I had a good day at school, I usually do, but I am very tired afterwords.  The bus is very interesting, many different types of people that you can have an enjoyable conversation with.  As I leave the school, I walk outside, the look of the beautiful gingko trees they always amaze me.  Refreshing and breathtaking.  I wait for the bus… and talk with a few people.  They give me some very insightful views, such as people feel that once they’ve lost trust it’s gone forever, however though trust can be rebuilt. That furthered my views on trust.  I had a middle view of trust as the ones whom I talked with on the bus, but it further confirmed my own beliefs about it.  It’s not black and white.  I bow to the people I was talking with because my stop was called.  I walk slowly to my apartment.

After I pass the water fountain my phone rings for a text… surprise.

“Hey I’m by the water fountain,

l am sitting on a bench,

come find me,

Nadia~”

Reads the text.

“Surprise,” she says aloud giving me a hug… with a kiss on my cheek.  I interlock my arm in hers and we start walking around.  I whisper in her ear, “I love you.”

We get some nasty looks but we don’t care.  All I know is that I love her.  Her arm in my arm, leaving for my apartment.  Above all I am just lucky to have her in my life.  In the park we go.  Strolling around, talking about school, life, and love.

“Tell me, what do you think God’s plan is for you?” she says giving me a kiss on my forehead.

Many stop and stare, but then some smile at us with these appreciate eyes.  Others say, “Gambatte!”  Definitely a variety of reactions, but we are proud of our love.

“Well…” I say, “I feel as though, God desires me to spread the love that I have through my gift of teaching.  As what God has for me is to be loving and kind, because God is love.  I’ve been doing just that, living out what God has in store me, because there are so many people who read the Bible, but they don’t live out their faith.  I also feel that our love is apart of God’s plan for us too.”

“And what about you, my Nadia?”

“I am pretty sure my plan is in music.  Ever since I was young, I was blessed with the talent of music.  And now that I’ve recognized my talent, I perform in hopes that people will be inspired from my music and feel my love and God’s love to each and every person. That is my gift and purpose, but also to share that with the one I love,” Nadia stops for a minute and kisses my hand.

Imagine a place where true love is the facet of everything, love so pure, love so kind, love so precious.

Like a twinkling star, I value her love, I know that I may make screw ups, but my honest wish is to love her no matter what, even if she runs away.  My Minori, a true and kind person so much love in her heart.  May I be the woman that makes her the happiest…

She, a beautiful rose, such a delicate and tender woman.  A loving heart, and the desire to bring beautiful music to everyone’s ears.  A wondrous gift for a wondrous woman.  I just want to be the woman that she’ll be happy to wake up every morning with.

Nadia and I walk back to my apartment, lock the door, and sit on the couch saying absolutely nothing, I’ve not even been with her for a month, yet, I still feel this ridiculously close connection with her.  She just cares so much about me, it’s crazy.  Times like now, I don’t feel like I deserve such a caring woman in my life.  She must be the woman for me… only time will tell, but the way that I feel now, isn’t just chemistry… there is something more, I’m sure of it!

I can’t explain it, but my heart beats so fast when I’m around her.  Such a graceful and pretty lady.  Truly it’s a dream, but even more so it’s very real.  Hard for me to believe, but I’ll just have to accept that it is.  Right now, I just feel so cared and loved that now I realize what I had been missing for a while.  Not even just that, someone who actually cares and loves me for the person that I am.  I somehow feel like crying now…

Eventually, I break down in tears.  I’m showing my vulnerable side, this side of me, I feel so weak, but I can’t hold back anymore. The tears just start rolling on down, however though I’m not alone.  Nadia gently wraps her arms around me in a loving embrace.  She holds me tight and tells me, it’s okay, you don’t always have to be so strong, Minori.  She’s right, I don’t, but I feel like I have to. I just didn’t know any other way until she told me that I don’t always have to be so strong.  It’s like she wants me to be vulnerable, even though I don’t want to.  How can I deny such honest feelings when I am the same way.

“What am I doing,” I say to myself in her arms.

“How are you feeling, be honest with me?” she says to me.

“Much better, thank you for the love and support.  I don’t know what came over me, I just broke down.  I just broke down…”

“And that is okay, I’m not going to judge you for that, I want you to feel comfortable around me to show every bit of yourself, when you’re sad, happy, angry, tired, sick, and in love.  I don’t just want to know you, I want to know the real you… because I’d know something that many others may not know.  That my Minori is a kind woman, whose been through a lot of pain, but now there is someone who wants to heal her ailing heart.” She cups her hands in mine, not letting go.

Only a few times in my life had I had something this beautiful happen to me.  But my heart always seemed to let lose… I couldn’t control it.  Even though I’ve thought over and over to myself that I could, I was proven wrong.

I know now that I don’t have to be so strong… because she shares it with me.

Aaaah, I love your story! :heart: I've decided to read the last chapters again because they always make me so happy, they are so calm and sweet, exactly what I need to read. I wish I'll have a relationship as good as the one Minori and Nadia have, someday!
