Chapter 22 - | Students

As my nickname was being called, I quickly got up from my seat, my left hand on the table to balance myself but then Yeshua held my hand, making me look at Him. "Order for Rie!" called one of the baristas again. "They're calling me." I said to Yeshua but He refused to let go. "Let Simon take it." said Yeshua as He looked at Simon. I looked at Simon and saw him astounded as he quickly uncrossed his arms. Andrew is beginning to laugh, John and Jaime as well.


Simon leaned closer to the table. "What? Wh-why me?" asked Simon confusedly. "Should you let a woman carry a tray for you?" asked John to Simon, making me look at him while I'm still standing and Yeshua still holding my hand. "Of course, if it is her job." answered Simon as he leaned onto the chair again and crossed his arms. Andrew hit Simon again. 


"Ow! Will you stop doing that?!"


"Is Rie a waitress then?" asked Jaime.


"Alright, alright! I'll get it!" said Simon irritably as he stood up. "I'll get it Maria. Go take a seat." said Simon as he made his way towards the claim area. And so I took a seat then Yeshua let go of my hand. "You won't only have brothers, Maria, you will also have sisters soon." said Yeshua, making me look at Him and see Him with a smile.


"Excuse me, Teacher. Do you mean that Maria's Mom is pregnant?" asked John to Yeshua confusedly. He did ask the question in our minds. Yeshua chuckled while still looking at me. "No, John," answered Yeshua, then He looked at John. "You all are my students and soon I will have more." continued Yeshua.


"But what do you mean by Maria having more sisters soon?" asked Jamie with confusion in his face. Yeshua chuckled again. "Look at yourselves not as my students only, but as a family as well. Brothers and sisters."


"Should we… make a flyer to spread across this town to notify the people of your school, Yeshua?" asked Andrew as confusion faded from his face. Yeshua looked at Andrew then tilted His head, blinked a few times and began to laugh. The four of us looked at each other while Yeshua continued laughing.


Then Simon arrived with a tray then looked at Yeshua. "What happened? Why is He laughing?" asked Simon as he put down the tray, placed the first plate in front of Yeshua and the second plate in front of me. "I just asked Him if we should make a flyer to spread across town to notify the people of the school He wants to make." answered Andrew as he gestures with his hands.


"I'm sorry, Andrew," apologized Yeshua as His laugh died down. "To answer your question, no. We won't be needing anything to spread the existence of the school that I'm creating for now." said Yeshua as He now looks at Andrew with a smile on His face. Simon then hit Andrew's chest, making him flinch. "But, a few more students who would be joining us are on their way to this town." The five of us looked at each other then looked at Yeshua with wide eyes.
