Sab has been walking for more than an hour in the mall but she still unable to decide what to get for Tom. She had seen a watch, but the price was way too expensive that he left the store immediately as if someone trying to rob her. Her savings was not even enough to pay for it.
She cannot understand how that small item can cost that much. If I smash the watch, does that mean it will not break? If I try to cut the strap it won't break? That's why it almost cost her a year of hard work?
The item so small but seems too heavy to carry. She felt a little thirsty and decided to go to a restaurant to eat as well since she is a little hungry. She plans to look for other items to buy after resting for a while.
She lives very frugal and met a lot of people, the price of the watch is something that can already chance someone else life. How can a person like her waste money just like that? Thinking the watch will be bought by someone, her heart still aches, not because she lost the opportunity to buy it, but because she thinks it really a waste of money.
However, she believes that Tom will really look good on that watch. Hayst..., only if that watch is not that expensive, she will surely get it for Tom. Some people might check the value of the item, but she doesn't feel the same way even if she has the money.
She had seen so many people that in a much sorry state than her and the value of the watch could save someone else life. For her, she would rather spend it wisely than throw it away just like that.
Maybe if she really has the ability and money, she will not complain but given her character who value memories than value and very practical, she might not buy the watch still. However, she is still the same poor Sab.
While waiting for the food, she busied herself searching on the phone to get some ideas on what to buy. When the food arrived, she notices a handsome man sitting across her. She looked around and immediately stood up awkwardly thinking that she occupied a sit that already been reserved.
���Don't you remember me?" the man asked seeing the little girl about to leave.
Sab blinked a few times while looking at the man with seriousness. Her face lit up when she recalled something. "You are the police office?"
Tom's heart sank when he just remembered as police office instead of the man from the convenience store. However, his disappointment disappeared seeing her bright dark grey eyes looking at him directly without any hesitations.
Sab sat back with a polite smile. "Thank you for the last time,… Are you off duty?"
Henry smiled after a while. "Hmm, are you going to treat me?"
After checking the time, she still nodded hesitantly. She did not really mean to ask him for a meal but since they are already in a restaurant coincidently and feel that it is only right for her to treat the man for saving her. If not really for this man, she might not be able to sit there comfortably
Henry could sense that she is being on guard with him, so he initiated the conversation. It didn't take time before he could see her relax and give him a friendly smile. Being in the business and entertainment industry this is just a piece of cake.
Sab is not a good talker and always having a hard time blending with others. Not sure if this was because she has no time to get to know others or because of low self-confidence. Unsure when it started, but she felt always uneasy when people try to get close. As a result, she will do her best to avoid those kinds of people.
But Henry's aura made her relax for some unknown reason maybe because she was saved once by him. She was become talkative unknowingly and answered every question without realizing it.
"Do you like pets?" Tom asked with a smile.
"Hmm… I do and I don't. It's fun to look at them but I can't take care of them. Maybe if I have all the time in the world, I may."
"I'll get you a dog and help you raise it" He offered.
"No, thank you. I really can't," she answered without thinking behind the meaning of his word.
Henry offering to get her a dog to get to know her and be with her all the time in the future. He was sending a message to Sab. However, Sab was too insensitive to notice anything.
Even if Henry asks things about her like her preferred foods, flowers, hobby etc. She was like an obedient daughter to her father answering every question he has.
Henry is also very handsome and can even be compared to Tom. He is the dangerous flower boy type and Tom is an example of the strong evil manly type. They also exclude different strong aura that could compete with each other but then
Up to this moment, Sab thinks everything is just a dream that one day, she will be forced to wake up. Meeting Tom is very unrealistic, something in dramas and novel only happens. So, when it happened to her, part of her mind is in real-world and part of it is in fantasy.
She is not ambitious at all even living in difficulties for a long time. For her, as long as she can bring food in the table and living healthy, she can be truly happy already. Fewer complications bring true happiness than living like a rich person.
Working in a company and living with Tom is surreal. She wanted to be happy, but the fear is always greater. Living with him gives her heart warm, happiness and contentment but it also gives her an undeniable fear.
She wanted to be realistic, but her heart is shutting down and her body is getting out of hand. In this very dangerous game, she was tempted to somehow try to let go, but extremely afraid to do it.
Sab returned to her senses when someone put food on her plate.
"You stop eating so I need to encourage you to eat more. You look weak and have to eat more. I think you'll look better if you have a little more flesh," Henry said naturally as if it's normal to do it which made Sab off guard.
She is unable to decide on how to react to it and decided not to think too much. He might be someone really nice and do not want them to waste food. Besides, she doesn't think too much of herself. The man doesn't seem to lack women. If he stands in the corner, it won't take time before someone appreciates his beauty and hit on him either a woman or a man.
Before they go separate, the two added each other in WeChat. Though Sab felt a little weird, she has no reason to reject it.
Sab went from store to store but unable to find anything. All the things she finds are all expensive. She was about to give up when she notices a small store selling small cute items. There are also a cute couple of items.
Her mood improved and can't help smiling at the cute couple little items. The images of irritated Tom flashes in her mind and her smile disappear. However, the coupled cell phone case, couple bracelet, couple ring, couple shirt and other couple items that make her thrilled.
When she got home, it was very dark indicating Tom is still not around. She can't help smiling seeing the item bought. As soon as she entered the house, someone pressed her against the wall and kissed her fiercely.
Even in darkness, she already knew who to the culprit is. She was caught off guard and tried to push the man however, Tom was holding the back of her neck and deepened the kisses. With his aggressiveness, she knew something is not right. He bit her a few times and can taste a metallic taste of blood.
"Where did you go? Who did you meet?" Tom asked in his deep flat tone. His teeth greeted trying to suppress the anger inside. It seems the warning he made did not really absorb by his little wife.
Sab trembled a little and was confused. She can feel his body trembling as he tried to suppress the anger and avoid hurting her. Her eyes can't help moist, this man is really like a ticking time bomb and his mood can switch as fast as flipping a book page.
