67 No longer the sMias who loved Hans (2/2)

Hans placed her hands at his shoulders and his hands at her waist.

”Just follow the music” He whispered.

There was no music. Cheska, smiled and moved along with him. The lights from the building where giving a romantic ambiance.

”I can't dance Hans”

He took off his shoes and asked her to take her slippers off too.

”Step on my foot” He said..

Cheska was puzzled and hesitated. But he reassured her that it will be alright.

It was her first dance. She was dancing without any music, without a beautiful dress, without any special decorations, or even a foot wear, but her heart was racing and she was filled with joy.

Sharing every meal and being with him 5 days of the week from work to home was precious to her.

Cheska's caring nature was revived because of Hans. Whenever she left the office for a meeting, she would usually send him some snacks, or leave a love note in his drawer. She made sure to bring water, towel, medicine, tissue, and scarf on her bag for him. She has a coat or jacket for him in her office in case he forgets to bring one.She makes her gestures subtle just to make sure that he is well.

She loved him and he loved her. Wasn't that enough to make them stay together? The pain in her chest woke her up from such a vivid dream.

Back in reality….

[I could not remember when I smiled like that towards any man.] Cheska remained in the carriage for a while. The dream felt so real. The joy, he warmth and even her smile felt genuine.

[I clearly remember him. But the love… it was all gone. The feelings are no longer here.] She reminded herself of the same old phrases. This time, she was in love with another man, he might be a gay, but to her, he had surpassed every man when it comes to having the qualities of being a real one.

She was no longer the ”Mia” who loved Hans. She is now Cheska who is intelligent and goal oriented. However, because of their travel in the dark forest, her plans might need to be reviewed. Her plans to dominate the market and become the richest bachelorette once more seems to be inapplicable in the upcoming end of the world thing.

[Well, if I am a consumer, what will I need in order to survive the end of the world? It seems like I need to study the situation better] Cheska shook her head in disappointment. [well, I might still be able to earn a quiet a sum of money if they still don't know that the world will soon end.]

Even the end of the world could give her opportunities but will the money be able to save her as well? She will decide after studying the situation well.
