Chapter 10 - Lake

The whole ride was in silence, as Roxana didn't know how to continue their conversation after his teasing. She noticed that the bustling city started to faded away and she realised she couldn't sit still anymore when she didn't know where they are going.

She cleared her throat and asked, "Where are we going? "

"You will know in a while" he casually responded back while driving.

Asher glanced at her, "What? Are you feeling scared? "

She honestly replies, "Yeah, a little bit".

Asher was really prepared for today, so he find it quite hard to not be angry after he heard her.

" We can turned around now, if you don't want to go," he said in a livid voice.

Roxana heard his voice with had a little bit of anger, she knew he was upset and quickly interrupt him before he could turn the car back.

"I want, it just it my first time going out in this city".

She peeps at his face and saw his face had turned back to a bit to normal and felt relieved.

After 20 minutes of driving, he finally stop the car, she felt really strange when she looked around, with the exception of the green big tress which cover from either side of the road, there is nothing here, thus she turned to looked at him.

"Trust me Roxana, I'll not kidnapped you or killed you, I'll get nothing from doing that", he teases her.

Roxana embarrassingly glared at him for making a joke.

" You really had a weird way of going out" she teases back.

"Of course, I'm different from all", he looked proud of himself.

" Let's go, I'll show a very fascinating place."

After walking through the tress, they soon reach the place he wants to bring her.

" Woww" she gasped when she saw the view.

It was a beautiful lake she has never seen in her life. The lake was clear and tranquil and tress cover from all of its sides and a small short bridge infront of them. It is really a fascinating place, as he said.

Meanwhile, Asher stare at her face which look serene with the clear view of the lake, he couldn't stop himself from taking out his cell and took a quick pictures of her. It's quite embarrassing to take a picture of her secretly.

He walk towards her and whispered in her ear, "How is it? "

"It beautiful", she replies and quickly walk to the bridge incase he will whispered in her ear again, however when she had just walked to the short bridge, suddenly she saw a small house, which is a bit far from where she currently was.

" Asher, there us a house too", she shouted at him.

"Yeah, that ours"

"Really! " Roxana was shocked.

"That a beautiful house", she compliment.

" Do you want to go? " he asked her.

"Can I? ", she asked excitedly.

" Is your family in there too? " she pointed to the house and asked.

"No, it just a place I usually stayed on weekends".

'It a place where no one will see my true face' he thought.

" Let go, I'll show you around."
