73 Time Capsule 1 (1/2)
(Alexandra's POV)
I was walking to the convenience store near my university when suddenly a honking sound came beside me. ”Yo, Lady, are you alone?”
I looked at the man inside the silver car. He wore sunglasses and a maroon shirt with his hair slightly messy. I said, ”Stevan? You're back? When did you come?”
”This morning~ I tried to find Han, but he's on a business trip. So, I search for you. Come on in, I'll take you somewhere.”
”Alright, but I'm going to buy something first. Can you wait for me?”
”Of course.”
I smiled to him and quickly bought chocolate and strawberry milk in the convenience store. My favorite drinks since I came to this world.
I open the door's car and sat on the front seat beside him. It looks like he noticed the new drinks that I bought. He asked, ”Since when you like to drink milk?”
I answered confidently, ”Since I first tasted it.”
”You tasted it before, you said, you didn't like it.”
”Did I? Now I like it.”
He looked at me for a while and hummed 'Right~'.
Then suddenly, he drew his face closer to mine. Huh?
”W-What?”
Why his eyes looking at me like that? Why are you looking at my lips?
When we face to face. I quickly closed my eyes tight. 'Is he going to kiss me?' I thought.
But the next second, he suddenly grabs my seatbelt and fastens it. He started the gas and drove his car while I blinked my eyelids a few times.
I tried to recalled what just happened.
...
”Why are you looking at me like that?” Stevan said, glancing at me.
”No, you were the one who looking at me strangely first!”
I retorted his question with my eyes glaring at him. He chuckled and patted my hair like a kid. ”Sit obediently. Don't disturb me when I'm driving.”
”Hah? Hey, Mister, you are the one who starts the conversation to me first.”
”Yes, mam~”
He drove his car to unknown park and parked his car not so far from the location. He grabs a shovel and gloves from the car trunk and he shoved it to me.
I grab it confusingly while he starts walking to the park. Leaving me behind. I called him, trying to catch up his pace. I asked curiously, ”Hey! Where are we going?”
Why he gave me this shovel and gloves?
He said, ”To our secret place. Don't you remember?”
I tried to recall the old host childhood memories. It was a little blur. But she remembered that she had been to this place before. I said to him, ”It was a long time ago. I barely remember.”
Stevan let out a sigh and said, ”Time capsule. Remember? You, me and Han wrote something and buried it together 20 years ago. Today is supposed to be the day we open the time capsule together. But, Han is busy. I bet he forgot about our promise.”
His natural bright smile was covered by his cold eyes. It was a short one if you didn't pay attention to him from the start. Perhaps you didn't notice.
He must be frustrated.
”Isn't it better if we wait for him?” I said that while walking beside him. He didn't answer my question right away. So, we arrived at the spot at the speed of time.
He said with a smirk, ”It's even better. We can take a look at his old writing first without him knowing.”
Uwaaa! How shameless!
”It's bad to see someone privacy without the owner notice.”
”Who cares? What is he going to do with me? Kill me?”
Can torture join the option too?
Anyway, we began to dig around the spot with the shovel on our hand. The spot was a little near inside the forest park area. It's right beside a big tree.
While we're digging, I heard his humming.
Piparapipara...papaparapa
The song was from Chibi Maruko-chan[1] theme. He once said to me when he was a kid until now he was a fan of Chibi Maruko-chan-- Yes, It's not Ultraman[2] or Power Ranger[3].
Can you find a grown-up man who's still watching the show? It's Stevan right here.
I looked at the time, it has been thirty minutes since we started digging, but there was no sign of our time capsule. My white shirt was drench by sweat and dirt.
Why did I even wore a white shirt?!
Sighing, It's not my fault that I didn't prepare advance. I didn't even know that I'll be digging dirt after coming out from the university!
Suddenly he unbuttons his shirt right in front of me. ”W-What are you doing?!” I shouted shockingly.
He threw his shirt and gave it to me. He was coughing and pointed embarrassingly at his chest and then my chest.
I blushed from it and wore his shirt.
After that, we continue our activity searching for the time capsule. Another thirty minutes came. I began to complain.
”Stevan, are you sure this is the right spot?” I asked annoyingly.
”Hmm, It's around here somewhere. If you're tired you can take a break first.”
Why didn't say earlier! But, I'm thankful anyway. I drank one of the milk that I bought and start sipping it.
Stevan was still digging the ground, deeper. He shoved it to the ground and pour the dirt out. Actually, I was confused. How deep the actual hole was?!
