Love From Darkness

Theresa

"Alex, I have to go immediately," said Marsha who was ready to wear a lecturer's clothes.

"One day pass. Don't you miss me?" asked Alex.

"I can't possibly ask permission. I'm still new to teaching at the campus," said Marsha and then left as quickly as possible so that Alex wouldn't continue arguing.

Marsha brought her private car to campus. When she arrived at the campus, Marsha went straight into the class that Daniel was participating in.

"Theresa?" Marsha was surprised that a student who was on leave suddenly entered the campus.

"I'm ma'am," said Theresa who sat next to Daniel.

Marsha saw that Daniel was not uncomfortable sitting with Theresa. Looks like Daniel and Theresa are quite familiar. Since when the two became close, Marsha felt that she had missed something. Jane, on the other hand, never stopped looking at Daniel and Theresa with an annoyed look.

Marsha tried to be calm and not influenced by the situation. She teaches as usual. As an expert in seeing a person's condition from their movements, Marsha could understand if Theresa did have feelings for Daniel, but Daniel considered Theresa as an ordinary friend.

Marsha smiled in relief. She shouldn't have to worry about Theresa. Whoever is near Daniel, in the young man's heart there is only Jane.

After two hours had passed Marsha closed the day's lesson. "Jane, come to my room," said Marsha. Her actions successfully provoked Daniel to look at him with a flat gaze that was difficult to predict. Marsha is sure that Daniel will not be silent, he will definitely try to find out what Marsha did to Jane.

Marsha immediately walked to her office on campus. She waited for Jane to arrive shortly after.

"Yes ma'am?" asked Jane.

"Sit down, Jane."

Jane sat down with a confused expression on her face.

"Today you seem not to concentrate during class. Is there a problem that bothers you?" asked Marsha.

Jane smiled to hide her nervousness. "No ma'am. Maybe just a little tired," said Jane, denying the truth.

"Just tell me, it's okay. I promised to be your best friend," Marsha didn't give up. Actually she knew that Jane was disturbed to see Theresa beside Daniel, but she wanted to hear it himself.

"I'm just annoyed with Theresa. Ever since that woman came she's been bothering me," Jane said.

Marsha smiled, she gripped Jane's hand tightly. "Good. Be honest, do it for yourself. Lie down," said Marsha.

Jane complied. Marsha immediately performed a standard check on Jane.

"All good," said Marsha telling Jane's physical condition.

"I'm going to your house this afternoon for routine therapy. Are you ready?" asked Marsha.

Jane nodded.

"Good. Let's find out who killed your mother and father," said Marsha.

"Thank you, ma'am," said Jane.

Outside Daniel leaned against the wall of Marsha's room. He listened to all the conversations that took place. For now there is nothing suspicious. Beside him Zayn who could also hear the conversation in the room was silent.

"Looks like you'll be seeing Marsha a lot." Zayn commented.

"I think so," said Daniel, walking away before Marsha and Jane found out who were about to leave their room.

Marsha smelled Daniel's scent. It seemed that the young man whom he had longed for had just been standing there a few minutes ago.

"What's the matter, ma'am?" asked Jane.

"Nothing. Go, see you at your house," said Marsha.

Jane nodded with a smile, then went back into her classroom. This afternoon there was no more subject matter, Jane decided to go home. Leon who was supposed to be waiting for him to arrive was not in the room. Jane immediately looked for Leon's whereabouts.

Several rooms Jane checked, including the garden, cafeteria and even the library but Leon was not there. When he got to the car park Leon was still there.

"Where is he," Jane muttered.

Jane suddenly remembered the campus roof. Usually Leon is there. Jane immediately went up using the elevator. Arriving at the top, as expected Leon was there, but he was not alone, Theresa was with him.

"Listen to me. Until whenever I can swear that my love is only for you. Me and Jane are just pretending to be dating. We're not in love with each other," Leon said in a loud voice.

"I don't trust you, Leon. After all, what makes you confident if I fall in love with you too?" asked Theresa.

"I know. You and Daniel have been friends since childhood. Daniel doesn't like you..."

"True. But I like it," Theresa immediately cut off Leon's words.

"But Daniel doesn't like you," Leon said.

"How do you know? You're just not Daniel's friend," Theresa replied to Leon.

"Of course I know. We men have special characteristics about which girls men like. And these traits will never be understood by women," said Leon.

"Don't interfere. So listen, I love Daniel or not. Or Daniel likes me or not, it's none of your business," Theresa said as she walked away from Leon.

That's when Jane came out of hiding. "Good drama. Your acting is really convincing. You two should be doing a movie together."

"Jane?" Leon was surprised.

"Why? Are you surprised? Just so you know I don't like you either. But I don't like losing to other people. So don't mess with me. If you try to cut us off, I'll expose all your bad things," Jane threatened.

"I'm sorry. But Theresa is a girl I like. We rarely see each other," said Leon.

Jane fell silent. If Leon goes after Theresa's love it means Daniel will be alone again.

"Okay, it's up to you. I give up," said Jane changing her mind.

"Really?" Leon asked in disbelief.

Jane nodded.

"I didn't expect you to act like this. You're like everyone else Jane. But thank you," Leon said as he descended the stairs.

"You i***t," said Jane, laughing. The longer he laughed, the more terrifying it sounded.

"No one knows if I am Aline, not even Daniel," said Jane.

Daniel immediately asked Zayn to take his bag. He himself went by public transportation to his office. Something happened in his office, Daniel had to come and check it out right away.

"Where are you going?" said a doorman.

"I want to meet..."

"This is an office. Not a place to play," said the security guard again.

Daniel just realized his appearance. Anyone would think he was a student. It's too late to go home. Can't even get in. Daniel felt like laughing. For the first time in his life, he was barred from entering by the security guards of his own office. Finally Daniel called his secretary and asked him to meet Daniel outside the office. Incidentally, there is a cafe across the street, Daniel will be waiting there.
