It was usual for Chrystal to wake up early morning and prepare for class. It has become a habit for her since high school. Waking up the early in the morning, Chrystal went straight to the washroom and brushed her teeth the took a bath
"cold… ah.. co..co..cold" Chrystal stood thee frozen calming herself
The water was really cold now it was winter obviously the temperature was freezing. Chrystal Zhu just clenched her teeth while pouring water she took a cold bath to prevent sleep because it was still early it was 4:00 am the sky was still dark but she was shaking because the water was too cold today.
Chrystal never trusted her flesh but had faith in herself. Today Chrystal left home soon since she needed to walk up to her college though it was really troublesome, she just did it for the sake of money. Knowing the truth that no one would be willing to give her financial support.
She packed up her things and hurried to go to college. she made sure to switch off the lights then properly locked he door and left.
Today was really tiring for Chrystal as she was worked up from the morning till night. As usual, the college got over but still, she had lots of time at hand to relax but Chrystal Zhu reported too early to the hospital.
After getting inside, there was no way to relax because she was a nurse there and they were given a hard time. The toughest thing for being a nurse is that they need to stand for hours together. When the time to sign out came, Chrystal Zhu felt great relief.
Sighing, Chrystal sat on the bench and looked at the sky it was already 9:00 pm so the sky was dark and there were stars in the sky. Looking at them she just smiled remembering the past when she was studying college.
In the hostel terrace, she would go to the rooftop and simply lie on the floor, she would see the stars and search for the brightest shining star once finding it, with her full energy she would shout " One day I'll be like you shining so brightly from the rest"
But the funny part is that since her voice is too soft only her face would show the expression of desire and determination but only air would come out her mouth instead of her voice. As the days were passing by, she trained herself to speak louder by shouting with all her might in the rooftop every week. Gradually she picked up the pace.
Chrystal began to drift in her thoughts thinking of her old memories, the beautiful time during her school, and college life, spending time alone for herself like now how she was sitting alone.
On the other side there was someone noticing everything... 'Oh what a sight to behold' seeing her watching the stars and the lights from the lamp posts made her look like a stunning beauty. Her slightly tilted face from the side view was charming.
Yes of course it is true Chrystal Zhu is a really beautiful girl, but she was too innocent. She was so beautiful, but she does things clumsily as usual. Wearing makeup was a bad idea for her, her natural face is far more beautiful.
The mysterious person knew about Chrystal Zhu very well, but he was surprised when he came to know that they were both working in the same hospital which is [Touching people's live.] He thought
'Maybe the hospital was too big that I couldn't find her.'
That mysterious person too signed out and he was starting his car from the parking lot but seeing a beauty like that he waited for a little while. He really wanted to hug her and kiss her but she had already rejected him, yet life is full of ups and downs failure comes many times but there is always success waiting.
'I would never give up on you no way'.
He started his car and on the away, he stopped by her side and asked her
"Mind taking a free ride with me?"
"Yes sure..."
Chrystal agreed without knowing who the person was. One thing is that she was too tired to even notice if the person is good or bad the other thing is it was dark. So, after getting inside the car, she came to know the man who was driving the car she was shocked at first but simply said
"Long time no see"
She was least bothered about it because all that she wanted now was a free ride she wanted to go home and take a rest that's it but her fear that it would be a bad person was gone.
"Yes, it's been long"
He replied but other than those twos statements there was no talk between them for a while and later Stephen Yang asked her how was she doing and when he asked
"How do you come to work? "
There was dead silence for Chrystal so he asked her again and when she told
"For two days I came by walk"
That was the moment when Stephen got really angry but did not show it outside. That should be the quality of a girl she was being honest with him just for that sake, he left the matter for now but still had it in his mind. After that they reached Chrystal Zhu's house, he asked
"What is my reward?"
"It was you who asked me for a free ride why should I reward you?" she said trying to get out of the car
"You are being too heartless not even a cup of water at your house?"
'Am I really behaving that way? Yes, I can't be too shameless' she thought
And they both went inside the house. Seeing the house all neat and tidy he was very surprised it was pleasant and that smell of the house… it smelled like lavender and vanilla, it was fresh and pleasing. After he drank the cup of water, she literally kicked him out of the house.
__________
'boohoo... I'm kicked out of the house by her... I just kissed her on the cheek'
He shed invisible tears in his heart though she has become a little bold over a few years it was fine for him. He liked this kind of change.
Anyway, he was really very happy about his little achievement of kissing her and he drove back to his villa. While going back he remembered... Back in those times 5 years before, Chrystal was doing her final year of schooling while he was doing his MBBS, He remembered Chrystal Zhu sitting lonely in the class she would not join with groups the rest of the people around her would be happily chatting and laughing.
But having no company in the class she would always sit simply looking through the window or else opening the book and studying. He knew she was a bright student, but she was keeping a low profile. Was that it? somehow, she would come in the top 10 in the class but due to her parents' pressure, her mindset was like she was not the best student.
She would sleep during breaks never going outside the class except for lunch where she went to the canteen for food as she was staying in hostel unlike day scholars who come to school at 7:30 on the morning and go back home at 5:00 in the evening hostelers need to stay in school till 11:00 pm and come back to school at 7 in the morning so it was a really tough life in school.
The thing he liked about her was her hardworking nature especially before exams and her polite way of speaking to strangers but she was polite to him that was really a thing which he did not like he wanted her to be free with him, she would be very shy when talking to guys how much ever-familiar the boy is, she would always feel very shy when talking. The head would always be down only showing her beautifully braided hair.
She had a long silky thick straight black hair
'Oh, how I wished to see them in loose hairstyle' he thought
but when they were in school, she would always braid and fold her hair according to the school rules.
Only once he saw her hair in a ponytail but still, he wanted to see her hair in freestyle without any hair accessories he wanted to touch and ruffle them so badly as they won't form tangles so easily no matter what since her hair was straight and silky. But her being so conservative he had no chance for it.
One day when they both were called by the principal after the meeting, they both went back to their class They both need to take the same route, so he proposed her on their way back. It took him great courage to do that, to say
"I love you"
He said grabbing her shoulders with one hand while the other pulling up her chin making her look at him.
