Chương 17: Going home with him
Helen was very nervous when her mother told her that she will go and look for Francis so that he can go home with them. Helen knew her heart very well. Even after dying she was still in love with him. A little rejection would not stop her heart from loving him.
"Tsk, how stupid" she mocked herself. After realizing that Francis might have rejected her because he did not recognize her or maybe he was not Francis after all, she decided to be rational and study the situation more.
Besides she still must problem the figure and looks of the body whom she transmigrated to. Its chubby, the complexion was dark, the eyebags were swelling, there are pimples and her armpit was dark, what a disaster.
[Why? why? I have read about transmigrated stories about the soul occupying an unparalleled beauty, or a body of a genius. Why am I stocked in this body?] she cried internally.
Expectations vs reality was really cruel.
[God send me back to my beautiful body, please]
Growing up the modern society as a daughter of influential man, she was living a life of a princess. She was a picture of perfection. Looking at her face now she can tell that it was even horrible than her death. Occupied with such thoughts, she did not notice her mother and her entourage coming her way. A maiden opened the door and her mother approached her.
"Hi dear! Francis will accompany you during the trip. Please talk to him child and try to win him over." Her mother signal.
Her mother was a very vulgar woman, Helen thought.
Francis entered the carriage and said a simple hi.
Helen did not want to look his way. [Don't look at this ugly face, oh no]
Her mother then joined her father in a separate carriage.She was so shy. How did this so called wealthy miss became so ugly. She wanted to cry while thinking about it.
They were so silent during the trip. Helen, was silent and flustered. While Francis was thinking about what he wanted with his second life. Looking back, he missed a lot of opportunity to enjoy the world, having a relationship and appreciate the little things just because he was so focused on his studies and then work. He contemplated about his previous life.
He felt like a prisoner, a machine developed to work for the government. He did not want that to happen again. He wanted freedom, wanted to live truly and find his happiness. He could not help but to think about the love of his life. He decided that in this life, he would live, love and make the woman that he loves feel and know his feeling every second.
Helen's mother was efficient. Before they got home the food was almost ready, Francis's room was ready as well as the servants who will assist him. He was not used to have servants around, but he could not refuse since he did not know how things works in that world yet.
[what the, is this for real?]
As he saw himself in the mirror he was surprised. He was so young. Francis examined himself again. He touched his faced, biceps, his abdomen, and his hair.
[ I look so handsome]
It was really his body at the age of 18 or younger. He was thin, skinny and his hair was longer than necessary. It was like he was his 18 years old self again. He was really puzzled by what is happening around him. The he looked around.
The bathroom was as big as the receiving area in their laboratory back in Planet Hilan. There was a round marble table with four chairs. A beautifully arranged flower sat at the middle of it. There was a teapot and a plate of fruits. A large pool was situated near the window, there was a steam coming from it so he was thinking that the water could be warm. He could also smell the relaxing scent coming from the water.
It was making him nostalgic and relaxed. The bathroom gave off a luxurious vibe with its color. White with the touch of gold.
But then he suddenly remembered. It was not Planet Hilan.
"Oh no, will I have to wash my self manually after pooping?" he asked himself. He never did it before. The toilets in Hilan are automatic, it flushes itself, and washes and dries the user after. Although he knew that humans who live in other planet had to do thing manually but he has his spaceship to rely on in case he feel the call of nature.
Taking a bath in planet Hilan was as easy as standing as well. The system will do the work for them, changing the clothes was three clicks away from there controllers (a bracelet type of gadget). It was really a hastle living in the old world.
Then he looked around to see the source of light, he was sure that there was no electricity in that world. A small white spherical object was attached on the walls. He took a chair to examine it up close. There was a crystal inside which was the source of light.
Although he felt awkward doing things he is not used to, he took pride in his multicultural education. After taking a bath and changing his clothes he went out to go to dinner he was surprised that not so far from his room, Helen went out.
It means that his room was adjacent to hers. Helen was also surprised. Based from her memory the building on the west wing of the manor belonged to her because she was the eldest miss of the clan. Him being there only means that they are living under the same roof. She blushed profusely.
Her action reminded Francis of his best friend. Shy but still graceful. He missed her dearly. Her snow white complexion, warm and clear eyes, pure and innocent smile. He was in a daze again. Helen was quite disappointed with his dazed look. So, he looks at everyone with that nerdy look.
It was not a feast, it was a simple dinner with Helen's family. But who knew that she had such a big family. Helen's father has 7 concubine, and there were a total of 24 siblings. It was such a big family he said to himself.
He felt so awkward, as he felt their scrutinizing eyes looking at him. Helen's mother left out the part about the shadows, she told everyone that the dinner was for Francis to thank him for saving Helen's life.
It had been a habit for Francis to ask what kind of food was he eating. Having different cuisines from one country to another is usual. So as with different planets. So it was his habit to ask before he eats.
