25 I Love You (1/2)
After thinking a while, I made a decision. Since my chances to return to my own world seem thinner, I must have a place to settle. Married a local tyrant's daughter maybe not a bad idea, at least I can have assistance from him due to his position. The village people also would not reject me since their chief already approved me. Besides, she's such beauty, which boys will not tempt to get close to her? She also has intelligence, good attitude and moreover, she loves me! What else can I ask from her?
So I raise her chin so I can look in her eye. I wipe her tears using the other hand while speaking to her,
”Silvie, it is not you not worthy to me, instead I'm feeling I'm not worth to you. See? Without this backpack, I don't have anything else in this world. I don't even have a house to live with. In fact, it's me that feel honored to become the one you loved. I like you! And if you fine with me, only love that I can give to you. Silvie, I love you too!”
She looks at me with unbelief expression but her eyes glimmer with joy. She raise her hands to touch my cheek, I can feel her hand tremble when she touches me
”Ikki …. I'm not dreaming, am I? you …you love me too?”
I nodded to confirm her question. Her hands are still shaking in my cheek. Suddenly her hands wrapped my neck in a hug and her cry broken.
”Huaaaa…..sob sob….Ikki….tell me again…sob…”
I can't do anything else except hug her back while whispering in her ears
”I love you, Silvie, I love you very much”
Her sober getting louder when she hears that. Thankfully, there's nobody in the area, or else they will come and see what causing her cries. I let her unload her emotional feeling that she had kept in her heart. After some minutes her cry recedes and she let her hug off from me. I don't know whether to cry or laugh when seeing her covered with tears and snot in her nose. I take my handkerchief from my pocket and wipe them carefully which she didn't object at all.
After all been clean she stares at me with shyly look
”Sorry Ikki, I can't hold my emotion, it's just too happy for me to hear that and I can't stop my tears from flowing”
”It's okay, but your feet still need to take care thou”
She nodded and blushing.
”Sorry to trouble you Ikki”
”Nah, it's nothing. I'm glad can help the woman I loved. Raise your leg please”
I squatted again in front of her and take iodine and a plaster from my first aid kit. This time her hand covering her private area by hold the dress down. While taking care of her wound, I teasing her
”Hey, why you cover it now? Don't you say I can look until my heart content?”
Her face becomes redder from my question. With a low voice, she asks me back
”Ikki, do you want to see it? I don't mind showing it for you only”
After saying that she pulls up her dress hem and reveal what inside it. Two white thighs with golden bushes on the hip joint. Geez, girl, I'm just teasing you alright?
