Chapter 24. Unepected meeting

One by one, kids from the village and the streets started to show up. Those who arrived sat orderly on the designated classroom chairs, along with Sarah who also entered the room.

"Children, good afternoon," Sarah remarked to the class. Sarah had her notebook out and was prepared. Sarah would used to talk with the kids before class. Whether it is merely requesting updates or something more.

"Good morning, Mom," all the kids said in unison. When every single one of her students gave an enthusiastic response, Sarah grinned. Even though Sarah knew how difficult their lives were, it felt so amazing to be able to see their happiness.

Sarah noticed someone observing her from outside the classroom before she even began her lesson. It was clear the man was smiling.

"Kids, please get your books ready and do the homework on the whiteboard without making any disturbance. Children of mothers, please stay for a moment."

"Yes, sir."

Sarah bolted from the classroom. The girl went over to the man, who was standing there with a big black bag.

"Martin? Are you present? What is not right?" Sarah enquired, startled by Martin's unexpected appearance.

I want to become an early teacher. Can I apply?"

"Huh."

Martin displayed the canvas he was holding and his sizable bag filled with painting equipment.

"Art instructor!" Patting his backpack, Martin spoke to Sarah.

Sarah flashed a quick smile. Sarah remarked, "Geez, how could I turn away someone who wants to teach and has good intentions?"

In addition, you are a well-known painter. Please enter now. The kids will be content." Sarah went on once again.

Martin was invited to join the class by Sarah. The children appeared astonished by Martin's persona, which included a dashing visage and an almost entirely covered right arm in tattoos. Even though Martin was dressed simply in a black t-shirt and jeans that were torn at the knees, his good looks could not conceal his attractive features.

concerning Sarah. It comes to light that beneath the lovely grin that never leaves her face, Sarah is concealing a past in which she was not as fortunate to have a full family and a respectable existence.

"Kids, let us welcome our new teacher. He will impart painting lessons." Martin was also presented to all of Sarah's students.

Suddenly, upon hearing what Sarah had to tell them, every youngster in the room seemed to applaud.

The kids greeted Martin with great enthusiasm as his joyful expression was evident. The girl responded, "Martin, please introduce yourself to them," as Sarah was beaming.

Martin gave a slight nod. The tall man started giving his introduction. Martin was an easy person to get along with, and all the kids there seemed to be at ease with him. Martin introduced himself to them as a friend rather than a teacher. Everyone appeared content and enjoying the painting instruction when it began.

"Your picture is stunning, I must say.

Similar to the artwork that Gendis created, Sarah similarly longs to get together with her family. Regretfully, he has not located his family yet.

When Martin noticed Sarah thinking, he approached her and gave her a shoulder pat. "Hey, what is up?" inquired Martin, who was seated beside the young lady.

Martin saw the picture by Gendis from Sarah. "You know what, his painting is really lovely. He must be a talented painter.

Martin concurred with Sarah's statement. The attractive man was quick to compliment Gendis on his artwork, stating that it was created with genuine emotion. Indeed, you are correct. This painting appeals to me. The descriptions and specifics are accurate. If I look at the painting, there is hope as well."

Gazing at the painting, Sarah grinned. "Yes, you are correct—he and I have the same dream."

Martin scowled. "You mean?"

"Martin, both he and I reside in orphanages. My and Gendis' greatest ambition is to feel and be a whole family."

Martin had recently learned one and only thing about Sarah. It comes to light that beneath the lovely grin that never leaves her face, Sarah is concealing a past in which she was not as fortunate to have a full family and a respectable existence.

"Sorry, Sar, I was unaware of this."

It is alright. As we recently met, this is typical.

"It is okay," Sarah said with another smile and a small nod. It is not really significant."

Martin was growing more and more in awe of Sarah. The girl was always comfortable with herself. Martin seemed to be always hoping to see a grin on her lovely face.

"I appreciate you sharing your life story with me, Sar. You are welcome to confide in me.

It is said of me that I listen well."

"Are you serious? So I am really fortunate." Sarah gave Martin a little shove. They both appear even more gorgeous than before.

"Want to travel home with me?" After the two of them had cleaned up the classroom, Martin volunteered.

Sarah turned to face Martin, who was staring at her, as soon as she finished getting her bag.

"Alright, thanks for the offer in advance. I apologize, but I still need things. Would you mind trying again later?" Sarah declined with grace.

"Oh, I see?" It is alright, I promise.

"Let us go," Sarah replied, and Martin nodded to her right away.

In actuality, Sarah finds it difficult to find a new recipe to try out the next week. He had been searching the cookbook for the ideal recipe to use as a reference for his cooking for the past hour.

The girl searched for the recipe book she sought for over an hour. He was staring at a red book. She eventually discovered the book, and a smile spread across her lips.

She held the recipe book and smiled broadly. The girl quickly made her way to the cashier and made her payment.

"There is yet time." Sarah's eyes drifted to her wristwatch.

"I should really head to the grocery store first." Sarah smirked and turned to face the supermarket, which was still located in the same shopping center.

Sarah grabbed her desired items. Do not forget to purchase Rayen's preferred tangerines at the same time. Gazing at the orange, Sarah smiled to herself, picturing Rayen's face—a man who adored oranges.

"For Brother Rayen, this is." Simply make several purchases at once."

Sarah reached the register. Sarah took her wallet out as soon as everything had been counted, but her look quickly became terrified when she realized she had not found it.

"Gosh! "Where is my wallet?" After taking everything out of her wallet, Sarah was still unable to locate her wallet.

What is up, ma'am?

"Sis, I am missing my wallet. Hold on a second." Sarah, who appeared terrified, grabbed her phone right away. Unfortunately, the girl's luck was short-lived, as it turned out to be dead. Sarah was at school when she realized her phone was dead.

Then Sarah responded, "I am sorry, Sis.," her expression showing embarrassment mixed with unease. The shopping never showed up. My wallet became lost. Thus..."

"What is the entire amount, Sis?" said a man standing behind Sarah. The girl was startled as she turned around. The man had a familiar feeling to Sarah.

"Youu-."
