59 Cheskas love in the pas (2/2)

Going into an unknown place, her only focus was to work. But, her goal was redirected when she gets to know Hanz. He was her assistant. He was short, dark and not so handsome. At first, the man simply appeared wherever she was. At the restaurant where she usually eats, at the mall, at the spa, at the park, or at the sea shore. It felt like he was following her around. She shrugged that thought thinking that it was all just a coincidence.

One day, she decided to buy some supplies for her condo when she saw Hanz entering the door just next to her. Since he was friendly to all of employees in ZX company, she greeted him with some formality. The man broke into a beautiful smile as he saw her.

She can still remember when the man offered to cook for her, to drink together, to have a joy ride at the city at night and other exciting things that she never considered doing. Thinking that it was simply a friendly request, she decided to tag along.

Hanz was spontaneous, witty, and adventurous. Being with him that time was one of the happiest days in Cheska's life.

Cheska woke up one day with Hanz beside her. She was on the other side of the bed while the other one was on another side. Nothing happened between them. He simply said that the aircon broke down in his room and he could not sleep without it. Hanz was soft and he seemed to be trust worthy so she offered her space.

”You sleep like a log” Hanz extended his arms and gave her a little push to wake her up.

Cheska turned her head towards him. That instant their eyes met. She felt nothing extraordinary and choose to close her eyes again.

”It's too early.” She said as she hugged her pillow.

Then putting her pillow aside, she wrapped Hanz with the thick comforter and hugged him.

”A bigger pillow” she said with a smile. ”No physical contact Hanz” she added with a warning tone.

That time she only meant to sleep a little more and prevent him from complaining. But, she did not realize how hard it was to fathom a man's heart.

Cheska gave a deep sigh. Going into the palace for the selection of wife for the crown prince meant seeing the face of the man that she once loved back on earth.

”hmhhhhhhh” she sighed deeply again. If she was not tricked into performing in the palace she would not want to waste her time there. She looked at the flowers beside her and decided not to ruminate further. She was blessed with another life and she should be thankful for it.

The cool breeze and sweet scent in the meadow lulled her to sleep.
