Chapter 1 One Perfect lady
"One Perfect lady was our Professor Eiza Cullen. Sweet, gentle, generous, cute, beautiful, and all those words, which fits to describe a word-perfect was she. Yes, our Professor Eiza. I cannot explain how devastated I am hearing about..." I was no longer able to hold back my tears. I was speaking those words one after another with difficulty.
I moved my face away from the microphone. I tried hard not to break down and wiped my tears away with the edge of my cuff. In a second, I brought back my face to the microphone. I tried hard to speak out, but when my eyes fell on the assembly line, I went speechless, every student was weeping out loud.
I bet there was no single student who was not shedding tears hearing the shocking news of the untimely demise of Academy's favorite Professor Eiza Cullen. Not only students, but even all the Professor including the Principal's eyes were also wet when I 'Katnis Hemsworth' was delivering a Eulogy for my Professor Eiza Cullen.
But unfortunately, I was not able to speak even a few sentences. Instead, I burst into tears. This was the biggest weakness I always possessed, not being able to cry and speak at the same time.
Trying to collect all my guts and fighting back my tears, I spoke out again. And this time I closed my eyes and tried looking back into my past when I first saw Professor Eiza.
"I clearly remember, I was in grade nine when I first saw Professor Eiza. As we all know my grade is the noisiest class of 'Eastland Academy' and that day as a regular was classless, the fish market more surrounding. When Professor Eiza entered our classroom for the first time, I encountered a professor who didn't yell at us for making so much noise. Instead, she stood by the door for a long time until we all saw her and settled down in our respective places.
Now you may be thinking about how I knew she stood there for a long time. It's because since I saw her at the assembly hall, I was so fascinated by her appearance.
Long black hair, dressed in a white shirt and black pants, amazing height, fair brown skin with no makeup.A perfect example of a natural beauty she was.
I was desperately waiting for her arrival in my classroom, and when I saw her walking towards our class, I kept on staring at her and admiring her beauty.
That day was also the first day when I knew teachers do get nervous when they enter a new environment just the way our students get nervous when we walk into a new school. Her red cheeks and shyness in her eyes were quite visible to me, and I have no idea if my other classmates noticed it or not, but I had noticed it.
When everyone settled down, she walked to her desk, placing her books on the table. She spoke out, 'Hello! My dear students. I am Eiza Cullen. Your new English Professor.'
I still remember, I was the only one who stood up like a fool and said out loud 'Welcome Professor Eiza...' trust me, I did that hoping my classmates would do the same, but instead, I became a laughing stock for them.
But no worries, my one-act caused Professor Eiza to glance at me and smile. The shyness in her eyes was gone, and just the emotion of being thankful has been there. I was a little embarrassed back then when my classmates laughed at me, but now I feel proud of myself because my one-act made Professor Eiza think that she was so welcoming here.
So that is the best memory about her in my heart, which is imprinted on my heart. Whenever I remember about her this will be the first thing that will pop out of my head 'the day when I met with an incredibly awesome Professor Eiza.'
She was not just a teacher, but a friend as well. She used to be there whenever needed, from teaching in the class to guiding and cheering up for players on the ground; she was always there for every student. She never discriminated nor did anyone feel low. She was a wonderful person. It is often said that God takes the one who is generous and kind first, so did happen this time as well. He took her away from us. She was so young to go, but we know death cannot be defeated by anyone. Though she is away from us, still she will always remain in our hearts forever. I pray for her departed soul to rest peacefully in Heaven..."
When I finally concluded, I opened my eyes and saw everyone was listening to me calmly with silent tears streaming down their cheeks. I walked back to my line and stood lowering my head, wiping my tears with the back of my hand.
"Thank you, Miss Katnis Hemsworth, for your eulogy. Certainly, she was a good person and teacher as well. I hereby, announce tomorrow Eastland Academy will remain close to mourn the untimely demise of the most dedicated and hard-working staff. May her Soul Rest peacefully in Heaven... And she will be brought here in a while till then Dismiss..." Principal Monita announced in her weak, broken voice and we all walked out of the assembly hall sobbing out loud.
