Bab 253: Other side of the bridge

Seasons went by, and the seeds sowed in the soil sprouted to form plants and trees. The young Noah grew into an adult, who worked for the Duke of Woodlock, his father.

Noah had turned into a handsome man with strong facial features and build, while the look in his eyes was gentle. Just as his family wanted him to turn out to be, he had an extreme hold on his emotions and his surroundings. His demeanour appeared as soft as the snow. While most the people only saw what they wanted without realising that when the same snow melted under heat, it hardened into ice, where one had to proceed with caution. 

One of the bright sunny mornings, like any other day, Noah accompanied his father to Meadow to speak to one of the officials. They were walking in the marketplace when Noah caught sight of a young woman. The incident that had been buried had returned. Someone whom he had believed he would never come across again.
