39 Reminiscing the pas (1/2)

During lunch, Madel gave each of them three layers of fruit box per usual.

Cheska was still feeling aggrieved for not being able to eat the usual tasty meals in her plate. She felt so poor.

”By the way Madel, I haven't seen you eat any cooked vegetable or meat. Don't you like eating them?” Francis asked.

It was a sensitive topic for Cheska and Henry. Knowing Madel's poor origin, she does not have any servants to cook food for her or even money to buy meat. When she tells them that she can eat selected types of meat or fish but prefers not to eat them, they feel sad.

”I can eat selected types of meat and fish but I prefer to eat these fruits that my friends prepare”

”Wow, they do it for you?” Francis asked in a happy manner.

There was a different atmosphere between the two. Henry immediately felt it. Madel was comfortable in talking to Francis. Helen felt it too.

[What the? This man did know how to be kind but why did he have to be so mean towards me?]

Back in planet Hilan, Francis was very kind and thoughtful towards her. His indifferent attitude towards other girls made her hope that he felt something for her too. But, it was all false hope. Now, he was acting kind and friendly towards other girls but totally devilish towards her.

She did not noticed that she was already giving sharp stare towards him. Henry was in a foul mood as well.

Cheska ate the fruit box while thinking about the spiritual cultivation manual. Her head was telling her not to, but her heart was very willing.

”I think we should go to your house one of these days Madel. You know I'm a researcher back in planet Hilan. We tend to travel from one planet to another during our vacations..

I used to travel to green planets like this with my best friend.” Francis shared.

Francis and Helen told them about spaceships, space suits, systems, and extra terrestrials. It was a good interaction as Henry and Cheska gave a look of disbelief and amazement.

There were a lot of things that Cheska wanted to ask, but lunch was over. Henry took a look at Madel and saw her enjoying a conversation with Francis. A hint of annoyance appeared in hia face but it was very quick.

”Cheska, can I ask for your help?” He asked.

”No problem. What is it?”
