He manipulated her with his bright lies.
"Close your eyes," Eleazar said, approaching her.
"Why?" She asked, widening her eyes.
"Just for once," Eleazar said, with a vague smile.
"Okay," she mumbled, closing her eyes.
"Hold around," Eleazar said," wrapping his hands around her arms.
"What're you doin?" Winter asked.
"Just a min," Eleazar replied, closing his eyes.
"Now," he said, letting her hands go.Winter said, nodding softly.
Eleazar moved towards her wrapping his hands around her cold palms.
"What's this?" Winter asked, widening her eyes., gasping softly.
"Just one minute," Eleazar replied, gazing at her eyes.
"She's dull, how can anyone flirt with her," he thought, exhaling and closing his eyes.
"Now," Eleazar replied, letting go of her hand and stepping aside.
She opened her slowly.
The evening rays were shining brightly over the tulip fields.
The earth starts melting with the sun.
She gazed at the sky, slowly covering her face with her cold palms.
Her brown eyes sparkled more than morning.
The budless tulip field started to bloom around her.
Eleazar swallowed, hardly gazing at her.
"Can I ask you a question?" Winter continued, turning to Eleazar.
"Huh," Eleazar nodded.
"Before every, Tulip of this village blooms," Eleazar thought.
"Did-did I die…, Is this after-afterlife," Winter stammered, blinking rapidly.
"No-no It's-it's Amsterdam, there is an art gallery here I want you to visit," Eleazar replied, with a chuckle.
"Ah- Amsterdam..,"
"What Amsterdam… so I'm in Amsterdam how….. I mean we don't even take any flights or-or have our passports,"
"We teleported," Eleazar replied, chuckling.
"Teleported really, I thought you're pretty useless but you're amazing," Winter replied, with sparkling eyes.
"Useless…, Really huh," Eleazar said, with a sofff.
"You're lucky, someone else would have been taking their paths to the afterlife," He thought, with a forced smile.
"It's a gallery in Amsterdam, there is something I want you to see," I replied.
"You're joking huh?" She said, with a forced smile.
"No I'm not," Eleazar replied."How long are we going to walk," Winter asked, exhaling heavily as they walked for the last half an hour.
"Just across the street," Eleazar replied, pointing at a french rayonnant style two storey building.
"It's closed, I think," Winter replied, as they approached the front wooden door of the building.
"Sir the gallery is closed," a guard replied, as soon as he noticed them.
"Open it," Eleazar said, meeting his gaze.
"Yes sir," the guard replied.
"Gosh! You can't do that every time," Winter mumbled, with a forced smile.
"Yes, I can," Eleazar replied.
"Is there anything which prevents from your manipulative eyes, it's scary," Winter asked.
"It's opened," the guard replied, after opening the door.
They both stepped inside.
"Close it, Mate," Eleazar replied.
The guard nodded, closing the door.
"Gosh! Stop it," Winter whispered, with closed mouth.
"Here," Eleazar replied, taking a pendate out of his pocket.
"I thought I'd give you after winning the bet, a bet is saved," Eleazar thought.
"What's this?" Winter asked.
"It'll keep you safe, from people like me," Eleazar replied.
"Well, I don't think I've got anything to do with people like you," Winter continued, with a forced smile.
"Really… I mean I was not serious," Winter stammered.
"But I'm.... I don't want to manipulate you," Eleazar said, meeting her gaze.
"Okay.. well if it can save me from you," Winter replied, curling out her lips and turned around unwrapping her scarf.
"This love pendate will connect your heart for me," Eleazar thought, as he placed a ruby heart pendant around her neck.
