Single Heart

Kapitel 1: Unknown Man!

The evening sky was hazy, followed by a sudden crash of thunder soon it started to drizzle. The pedestrians started running to take shelter to prevent themselves from getting drench. The cold breeze was also roaming around the street, tending them to shiver.

This was the spring season of the year, but today's unexpected thunderstorm dash people's moods.

Jenny was no different. She had especially dolled herself up, wearing a white flora dress, did a light makeup, and left her hair locks loosely on her shoulders. She made a plan to roam around the market to buy a gift for her mother's birthday.

After searching for a while, she finally found a yellow gold crystal pendant. Her mother was a simple lady, as such, Jenny was sure that her mother would definitely like her gift.

Jenny was immersed in searching for the gift for so long that she didn't notice the time and by the time she realized, the sun had started to set down.

"Ohh...I am late!" Thinking that her mother would be worried about her, Jenny started running back towards her home.

Unfortunately, today's unexpected rain became a hurdle for her. Like other people, Jenny started running to take shelter to prevent herself from getting drench!

She immediately ran towards an open hut located at the center of the street.

Since the sun had already gone down, many people had already gone towards their home. Jenny also wanted to go home, but it was far away from the market and the crash sound of thunder was making her scared to her wits' end.

In the end, Jenny decided to stay under an open hut for a while along with other people before proceeding towards her home.

Since the sky was turning dark and the thunderstorm didn't seem to have a plan to slow down soon, therefore, other people also started to run away towards home leaving Jenny alone.

With the passage of time, Jenny left alone under the open hut. The cold breeze brushed past her body, sending a shiver down her spine. Her deep black eyes were slightly moistened with the fear that could be seen in it as well.

She crossed her hands close to her front side of the body, holding tightly the gift box in her hands.

Not knowing what to do next, until, she heard the sound of some footsteps.

'Pak!'

Jenny turned to look towards the source of the sound and a man was coming towards the street. Seeing that an unknown man was coming here, Jenny felt her heart jump to her throat in fear!

She lowered her head and pressed her lips tightly together. Even though she was scared and shivering, she couldn't reveal her fear in case it would bring a disadvantage for her.

The man was holding an umbrella which was hiding his face. He seemed to go somewhere else, but suddenly, he stopped for a moment, and then he changed his direction and walked towards the open hut, where Jenny was standing alone. The man quietly stood under the hut, set his umbrella aside near to the other side of the pillar.

Jenny's body stiffed when she noticed his movement, not able to understand as why was this man standing here despite having an umbrella?

Nevertheless, she didn't dare to ask and look towards him. She was just silently praying to the god to stop this rain for a few minutes so that she could go back to her home, back to her parents.

After a few minutes, the man stepped forward to go. Jenny sighed a relief noticing his movement, but subconsciously her sight caught something...

Huh...The umbrella!

The man had left the umbrella behind!

Jenny immediately looked up to call him but she noticed that man was standing in the rain and smiling at her warmingly. His grey eyes showed a sense of security. He pointed towards the umbrella, hinting her to take the umbrella with her, and then he ran away and soon disappeared into the dark night!
