She kept herself busy as a teacher and to her school not to think about them anymore. She was still at her classroom because one of her students was not yet fetch by her guardian. He was also fetching late almost every day.
Her student was cute little boy but there is something in his eyes but caught her. It was sadness when he was alone. Henna walked towards the boy Dylan who was still playing with cars in his desk.
"Hi, would you like to eat these biscuits?" Henna offered him as she handed it to Dylan. "Are you hungry?"
Dylan nodded. He lifted his hand to receive the biscuits. "Thank you, Ms. Henna."
"You are always welcome Dylan." She said then touched his cheek. "Do not be sad your mother will be here soon, okay?!"
Dylan smiled as he ate the biscuits. Not long after, a man knocked at the door of her classroom. Henna looked up. He was smiling at her when stepped towards them. He was tall, dark and handsome.
"Hello! Yes. How can I help you?" Henna asked.
"Oh, I am sorry I am Dylan's uncle. I am Dean. My sister or his mother asked me to fetch since she could not make it here due to some circumstances she is into." He said smiling. "And she told me that she already informs you thru text."
"Uncle Dean" Dylan said as he looked up.
"Oh, really. I did not see the text. Wait, I will check my phone for a moment." Henna went to her table and pick up her phone.
There was a text from Dylan's mother and she was not hear the message tone 'coz it was in a silent mode.
"Okay, I got her message then. Therefore, you can send him home now. He was so sad when he was always here alone." She explained to Dean.
"Yeah, I know so sorry for that. His parents were having some issues lately and they were trying to fix it." He said carried Dylan in his arms. "We are so sorry again for causing you too going home late."
"No, no. It is not big deal as a teacher it is my responsibility to wait for my student even it is late as long as they are safe to go home with the guardians." Henna smiled.
"Thank you, Miss…" Dean paused. He doesn't know her name.
"Oh, I am Teacher Henna Wu by the way." She smiled.
"Okay, thanks again Ms. Henna. I think I will volunteer to fetch him every day since his teacher as beautiful as the rose." He said then looked at Dylan. "Say thank you and goodbye to your teacher Dylan."
Henna blushed but still smiling as he looked at him. She was used to it because she was not ugly either.
"Goodbye Teacher Henna. See you." The kid said as he waved his hands goodbye as she walked them until the gate of her school.

Henna walked to her home as usual, it was quiet and lonely. She always does her routine every day and every night. School, work, home what is new about that. Maybe her life was destining to be like this. She will be living alone for the rest of her life.
Jenson was hiding outside of her house watching Henna secretly. After they had sex, he was not his own self after that.
After they made love that night seeing the blood spot from her bedsheet, he was confused and absent minded. He kept on busy with his business so that he will not think about Henna and that night they had sex.
He tried not to visits her for weeks. Now he decided to sneak a peek on her. She was smiling and waving to that man carrying with a kid. He seems not the father because they were not even having the similarity of the child.
His heart was troubled and jealous. The way the man looked at Henna was something else. He watched Henna as she stepped towards her house. She has a beautiful face and body no one could not resist her charm.
He wanted to go to her but he controls. He was still confusing there are what ifs inside his heart. He does not know what to do. He turned on the engine as went straight to his home.
He called Ocean when he reached home. "Bro, are you busy?"
"No, what's up?" Ocean asked on the other line. He thinks that there is something wrong with Jenson. It was rare for him to call if he was not troubled.
"Can you come to my house now?" he requested. "If it is okay with Rhianna but if not that's alright."
"Oka bro no problem I will be there in no time." Ocean assured.
Jenson put down the phone and waited for Ocean. He could not call to Henley because he was so far from the S City. It might cause more problems if he knew about them, his twin sister Henna.
Ocean arrived just not long ago. He saw Jenson in his living room with some beers on the center table. He knew he has the problems the way his aura seen.
"Hey, what's going on with you lately? You are not the Jenson I know years ago. What happens man?" he asked as he grabbed the bottle on the table.
He asked permission to Rhianna before he came to Jenson that he might not go home tonight. Rhianna said yes since it was weekend.
Jenson drinks the bottle of beer in his hand before he opened up with Ocean.
"Bro, I am so confused. I do not know what to do." He drinks again.
"Is it woman?" Ocean asked.
Jenson nodded. "I was hiding from her for almost two weeks. She is special and I am so afraid what if I hurt her. What if…" He cut his word afraid to say it.
"This is the first time I saw you like this to a woman bro." He told him. "Then what is really your problem with her?"
"I am afraid that… I am not ready to settle down also afraid… to lose her again. I am so confused bro." Jenson drinks again without knowing it was been his fourth bottles.
Ocean patted his shoulder. "Bro, I know that feeling when I lose Rhianna. I told myself that if she will come back to me. I will make sure that I will not let her go no matter what." He shared his thoughts to Jenson. "Even now, we are married we still adjusting with our marriage life. We are not perfect, bro. We still have fights but we make sure we settled it face to face together. We should respect our thoughts and opinions. However, to you if you think that woman is really the one. Why not give her more time, think about it but not hide from her just because you are afraid of something."
"Even if we do not have level with each other, I mean we do not have relationship to call on." Jenson confessed.
"What do you mean by that? No relationship?" Ocean confused with his statement. "Is this Henna you are talking about?"
Jenson's eyes widen when Ocean asked. "Why did you say it was Henna?"
Ocean burst out laughing. "Of course, I know that you have feelings with Henna." He said frankly. "I am not blind since we were younger. I know there is something going on with the two of you but I kept it by myself."
"Does Henley know about us?" He asked.
"Well, I think he does not know because if he knew, you might not his friend anymore." Ocean guaranteed.
Jenson opened again with another bottle. "What should I do bro? I do not want to lose our friendship too if I pursue Henna."
"Bro, if you are sincere with your feelings to Henna then she is too with you. You should fight for it. No matter what obstacles coming in your relationship." Ocean paused. "If Henley will against it then prove it to him. Henna is not like any other women in your life. That you are not hooking up for her then I got your back. But if she is one of your past time, bro. I will let you know, cut it off. Henna is like a sister to me and I watched her grow too."
