32 He was enchanted (2/2)

It was a rare experience. To see the world how as humans saw it. When Henry touches her, her all-seeing eyes becomes nullified for some reason.

Back when they were running for their lives during the shadows first attack, she was not able to see the coming danger because Henry was holding her hand while running. If he did not held her hand she could have seen that they were running towards the shadows. She felt guilty and bitter for being selfish. It was a nice feeling to be protected so she held on to his hands too unwilling to part with the warmth that reached her heart. Because of her selfishness Helen died that day and Tristan needed to protect them over and over again.

She blamed herself and wished that her all-seeing eye will never be nullified again. However, with the majestic view right in front of her she could not help but to gasp in awe. All along she had been seeing atoms, kishas, microorganisms, spirits (collective term for the organisms in the smaller dimensions).It was rare for her to see such sight.

This time the touch of cold wind and the fragrant wind and the dark night which was illuminated by glowing flowers and frays (glowing spores of algae) triggered something in her heart. She knew that the feeling was imprinting itself in her cells.

She was reluctant to look at the man holding her hand. Her heart was already thumping like it was about to go out and present itself to the man beside her. What more if she looked at him.

Henry became curious with her reaction and he started looking around himself. A mixture of emotions poured in to his chest when he came out of his dream world to witness the magical scene which unfolded before his eyes.

He paused to marvel at the scene before him. He looked at the girl beside him. The warmth and softness of her hands, her beautiful eyes, her cloak which is moving with the fragrant breeze made his heart feel erratic. He was enchanted.

Going back to reality, he noticed just how odd his behavior was.

”Urgh..” Henry looked away. ”Next time use your storage ring to store your coat, don't just leave it hanging somewhere...” he kept on blabbing again like a nagging mother.

”I can only unlock some parts of my storage ring Henry.” she said. ”I think I needed spiritual powers to unlock the rest of the storage ring”

Henry just looked at her. Indeed, without spiritual power it was a blessing that she could use a storage ring. There were indeed rare storage rings which are passed on to young heirs which did not need spiritual power to be opened.

As an heir of Fulinhar family he possessed one when he was little. He wanted to give it to her but he remembered Cheska's story about wedding in planet earth. when a man gives a ring to a woman it means that he is proposing or exchanging vows. [well, you just have to carry your things around I guess.]

Madel found her coat and released Henry's hand to get it. He felt like he wanted to hold on her hands more but he can't. [perhaps I'm a very touchy person] he consoled himself for his longing.

It was a long wait for the school carriage. Henry talked about his past, his grandparents love story and he even talked about the preparation for the incoming school activity. She enjoyed the sound of his voice. His face, his sassy look, the way he raises one of his brows, the way he flicks his hands, and how he pretends to flirt like a demure and modest girl around boys.

Henry was not crabby that night.

”oh my, I forgot to tell you. I found my prince charming today.” he exclaimed excitedly.

”Really, how was he like?” Madel asked

”He has sharp manly features, but his eyes are gentle, his clothes and hair are neat. He smiles like angel too.”

Henry kept on telling Madel about his imaginary love story and she listened joyfully as well. When the carriage came, he continued telling stories until they reached their destination.

After She took off the carriage, Henry could not help himself but to look at her. Standing outside Madel's coat and uniform still had some fray's on them. It made her look like she was glowing. Henry closed his eyes and tried to settle his heart. It has been in chaotic state since afternoon.
