Chapter 8 - Afraid To Hope

Towards the afternoon, Hanna was dressing up with natural powder and cherry-coloured lipstick. She do not forget to straighten her hair to make it wavy. She put on a casual sweater and jeans skirt with sneakers and a sling bag, then she came out of her room.

"My daughter is very beautiful," said Elsa, smiling at her daughter and walking closer.

"Mom, how do I look?" Hanna asked.

"Sweety, you're so beautiful," said Elsa.

"I'll go first. Daddy and brother are not at home, I have to hurry. Just tell me out with friends if they ask," said Hanna.

"Yes. I beg you to take good care of yourself," Elsa replied.

"Okay," Hanna said, she hugged and kissed her mother's cheek before leaving.

Elsa escorted Hanna go to outside the apartment. She watched from afar as Hanna walked somewhere worried.

"Hopefully my daughter doesn't do anything dangerous to herself," Elsa muttered.

Hanna walked hastily to the park where she had an appointment with Edgar. She sat in the garden and felt lucky to see that the garden was deserted. So she did not have to worry if any of her parent's friends saw him sitting there.

"Who is this?" asked Hanna in surprise as her eyes were covered with someone's large palm.

Hanna held the palm. She felt the breath in her ears make her in fear.

"Hanna, have you been waiting long?" the man asked in a deep voice that sounded sexy to Hanna's ears.

"Not too long," said Hanna.

Hanna slowly opened her eyes when the hand was no longer covering her eyes. She looked back and saw a man who had a sturdy body, dashing, and handsome, moreover the man's blue eyes that looked untouched made him fascinated.

Edgar looked back into Hanna's eyes which radiated tenderness. He saw Hanna's face, lips, and whole being made him smile.

"Perfect," said Edgar.

"What, Edgar?" Hannah asked. She was afraid she had heard wrong.

Edgar shook his head. She tried to make sure Hanna did not feel bad for him.

"I said you're perfect, Hanna," Edgar replied.

"You're so good at complimenting," Hanna said with a flushed face.

"So adorable," Edgar muttered.

"Where are we going? Do you want to go to the cinema with me?" asked Edgar.

"Yes of course, let's go," answered Hanna.

"Do you ever go to the cinema?" asked Edgar.

"Sometimes, but i like watched it on the television in the apartment," Hanna answered awkwardly.

"Oh, that's okay. I don't watch outside much either," said Edgar.

"That's right, moreover we work hard. Time is running out for a spree on things that are not important. How about we just go for a walk and don't have to watch? If you want to watch it, that's okay. I'll go with you," Hanna replied.

"Let's watch a movie at the cinema," said Edgar.

"Oke, Let's take the train," Hanna replied with a big smile.

"Sure, let's go," said Edgar.

Edgar wrapped his arms around Hanna's waist so that she was pressed against him. He felt Hanna's tensed body smile a little.

"Edgar, can you please don't hold my waist like this? I can walk alone," said Hanna.

"I know you can walk alone, but I want take care of you," replied Edgar.

"Yes I know. Sorry," Hanna replied.

They walked to the station without talking to each other. Hanna walked beside Edgar while occasionally glancing at Edgar who seemed to be still annoyed with her. When they were in the train, they sat on the seats that were there.

"Is he the son of a rich man? If he is rich, why is he dating me like this?" Hanna muttered as she kneaded the skirt she was wearing when she saw Edgar pull out an expensive cell phone.

Edgar glanced at the silent Hanna. "Hanna, have you eaten yet?" asked Edgar.

"Are you hungry? If so, let's eat first," replied Hanna, smiling awkwardly.

"Let's just eat when we get there," said Edgar.

Edgar smiled at Hanna who was awkward at him. He would slowly approach Hanna.

"Okay," replied Hanna.

The sound of an announcement that the train had arrived at its destination was heard. They immediately got off the train.

"We'll just take the bus to the mall," said Hanna.

"Are you okay taking the bus again? Just take a taxi, you'll be tired," Edgar replied, holding Hanna's hand.

"You don't want to take the bus? It's okay if you don't want to take the bus, but I'm afraid I don't have enough money to take a taxi. I don't carry much cash," said Hanna, smiling shyly.

"Who said you spent money for us to go? Let me pay, I did not let you pay," replied Edgar.

"Okay," said Hanna.

"Hanna, please smile. I'd rather see you smile sweetly," said Edgar.

"You're very good at complimenting," Hanna replied, tucking her eyes into her earlobe.

Edgar called a taxi and they got into the cab. The taxi slowly drove away from the station. When at a red light, someone came offering roses making Edgar open the car window and offer.

"He seems like a nice guy," Hanna muttered.

Hanna saw what Edgar was doing and was delighted. She did not think that there were still people who could respect others like this.

"Hanna, this is for you," said Edgar, handing the flowers to Hanna.

Edgar snapped his fingers in front of Hanna's face when the girl did not focus on him because Hanna was stunned by his actions.

"Sorry, this is for me?" Hannah asked.

"Yes for you. Do you like roses?" asked Edgar.

"I like any flower, but these are beautiful. Thank you," Hanna replied.

Hanna's cheeks flashed red. She did not expect Edgar to be this romantic to her.

"You're welcome, Hanna," Edgar replied.

They enjoy the trip leisurely. Hanna started talking casually to Edgar, they laughed at each other and talked about various things. Edgar saw that they had arrived at the mall paying for a taxi and taking Hanna to the mall.

"Just pick the place you want in the mall," said Edgar.

Hanna smiled at Edgar, it was the first time she had gone out like this and it was easy to get along. She entered every shop there accompanied by Edgar. Hanna stopped in her steps when she saw the dress that caught her eye.

"This dress is nice, but expensive," Hanna muttered.

"Let's go out, just watch a movie at the cinema," said Hanna.

"Not buying that clothes?" asked Edgar.

Hanna shook her head and smiled. She immediately took Edgar to the cinema by taking the elevator.

"I will buy popcorn and drinks for us, do you want something?" Hanna asked.

"I'll buy it," said Edgar.

"No. You already paid for the taxi," said Hanna.

"Why? Is there a problem with that? I'm a man, Hanna," replied Edgar.

"Another time I can pay to watch it, now it's your turn," said Hanna.

"Okay," replied Edgar.

After they finished buying tickets and snacks, they waited for the announcement to let them in.

"I'm going out for a bit, there's an important call," Edgar said when he saw his cellphone ringing.

Hanna had a shaky breath when she saw that Edgar had left. Somehow she found Edgar difficult for her to reach.

"Edgar seems to be wearing ordinary clothes when you look at his appearance, but those clothes look expensive. I can't possibly ask him where he works and lives. I don't dare to expect much if his social status is higher than me," muttered Hanna.
