Jia En stayed in an awkward state of mind. A stranger just picked her up and started walking towards an unknown direction.
"Wait! My books!" She shrieked.
The boy winced at the high pitched voice. "Don't worry, my friend is in the park as well. I've told him to help take care of the books."
Jia En continued to feel uneasy. This was not a situation she wanted to be in. "Please, tell me where we are going...I feel fairly uncomfortable..."
The boy laughed handsomely and apologised again. "I have not introduced myself, I'm Ming Li. I am an athletic individual, what about you? Oh, I also go to Yale National University of Singapore." Jia En gasped. What a smart man...!
There was a short silence before Jia En noticed she hadn't introduced herself.
"How rude, I forgot to introduce myself as well! You're from Yale NUS? I'm kind of jealous. I'm from Nation University of Singapore, but not from the one fused with Yale. You must be really smart...I'm a person who prefers the indoors, I play music, compose music, and critic music," she explained.
Ming Li snickered. "You're not too bad yourself..."
Another awkward quietness.
"Where are we going?"
"Oh, to my apartment. Sorry this is weird. It's kind of weird for me too, but I must treat the wounds and cuts on your legs, I need to." He panted.
"Uh...I weigh a lot..." Jia En smiled sheepishly.
"What nonsense? You feel like a 50kg. I'm just weak, I've not been lifting weights often enough."
Once they reached his apartment, he put her on the couch and took out a medical box. His apartment was like a typical singaporean apartment, there was a book about their first prime minister in their bookshelf. It was comforting to know he wasn't a complete stranger. He thought the same way as her.
" i know, the biography about our prime minister. He was a good man, wasn't he? He led this country to independence..." he paused and stared at the book. "Thats why he's so respected." Instantly he remembered about her cuts and wounds and walked towards her.m with the medical box in his hands.
Jia En had to deal with the pain as Ming Li applied alcohol onto it and treated it professionally.
After, Jia En got his number and left. When she got to the park where she left her books at, she was surprised to see her ex-Boyfriend sitting there, the one that abused her for 2 years...
