i woke up to the familiar sound of parents.

Just as they saw me awake they rushed to me not allowing me to see that i was in a hospital and bombarded me with questions filled with concern and anger.

"just few weeks in university and you are already in hospital young lady!" My dad scolded

"Dad. i am fine...."

"No girl you are not fine. you were unconscious for half a day."

my mother didn't let me explain

but soon was interrupted by someone clearing their throat.

That someone was the teacher who asked for my autograph. he stood at the door holding flowers and a basket of fruits

"i came here to apologize. i didn't knew you had extreme privitophobia. if i knew i wouldn't have asked you"

(Now there is no such thing as the phobia i mentioned. it's all made up)

"Professor please don't apologize for something you had no idea of. you are embarrassing me"

Teachers are people who are superior in rank than our parents. i never asked my parents to apologize how can i see my teacher doing so

Professor sat with us for a while and i found out that he even paid for my hospital fee

which only embarrassed me further more.

He also saw that i had blue eyes instead of black and was about to ask but stopped considering my situation. so to make him less awkward i spoke

"I sincerely am thankful to you professor. allow me to treat you to a meal as a thanks"

The professor smiled before saying

"You should be thanking Kristopher. he was the one who brought you here and contacted your parents"

my jaw dropped.

so the person said all those comforting words was him?

"Is he here?" i turned towards my parents but they shook their heads.

well i gotta say thanks to him

suddenly my mind went towards Derek as i asked my parents whether they told him or not

i wish they didn't cause.

"Jude!" Came the a very worried voice of Derek

Seeing me all fine he took a sigh of relief before rushing towards me and pulling me into a hug

"I shall take my leave then" the professor left and so did my parents

"My mind went crazy as i heard......hufff you are not going back to university. i don't want you to help me with anything jude. i can take care of you financially so please.....just quit and marry me"

i never once doubted any of his words.

He could not only take care of me another dozen people but the thing was

"You can take care of me but who is gonna take care of you?"

i asked

"Nonsense i can take care of myself" he said pulling away

i smiled and pulled him into a kiss.

Well this was the only way at the moment i could calm him down

"Derek Hamada. you know i know that

but you also know how my brain functions right"

"I know but sometimes....." He paused

"what?"

He didn't speak as if she was afraid to speak further

"Derek. sometimes what?"

i raised an eyebrow.

"sometimes i think you use university as an excuse so that you can delay the marriage"

looks like he feels a little insecure.

well since that's the case....

"true" i pouted and Derek's eyes snapped towards me

oh man. i wished to capture his expression in a camera.

the next day when i was discharged i asked Derek to let me drive.

at first he refused but then agreed. he looked at really sad,angry and cranky at my reply of yesterday.

"Derek do you mind if i give you a surprise?" i asked

"What? you are going return the proposal ring?"

"Something even better!"

he sneered at my response

after sometime he asked

"Why aren't you driving towards your university?"

"I am giving you a surprise"I said and parked in front of the marriage bureau.

Derek's jaw dropped as i said "Surprise"

"you are not joking?" he asked in disbelief and i shook my head .

Getting all excited he pulled me into a hug.
