A few sticks of grilled pork sausages

The compound looked peaceful and cold. Only the lights accompanied her through the way. It was 11.30 of the night. "It almost midnight." She said it to herself. She kept walking faster into the building. Before she could stepped to the stairs of the building, there she saw a figure wearing sweater and a baseball cap leaning next to the set of stairs. He was looking down with his cap on and his was scratching the cement with his front shoe while his both hands inside the sweater. They could hear the sound of the scratching clearly. Her heart stopped for a second. Her black eyes tried to focus on the his face to see who he was.

"Hi, Leona!" The guy smiled and waved at her. It was Andrew.

"What are you doing here?" Leona was so happy to see him. She ran toward him.

"Wow! Your hairs look amazing." He touched her curly hair. "Do you wear glasses all this while?

I didn't realized it." He took out her glasses and put it on to him.

"Fake!" He shouted when he realized no degree upon the glasses. They both then laughing and then she grabbed his arm and led him to walk.

"Thank you for coming here, even though you are not here for me," she said it freely what she had in her mind.

Oh girl…I am here just for you.

He was not able to say it out. He just smiled and buried the thought inside him. They walked to the Carpentry Park slowly. There they could see many people having their night time sitting and drinking with their friends and couples also everywhere even though it was almost midnight.

"How's your day today? You will have a busy days ahead."

"Yup, but it's too early to tell. Hopefully the time fly fast. How long it could be to complete this semester?" She grabbed his arm tightly and then she leaned her head to his arm. The man then took her bag pack and carried it for her.

"What did you bring? It's pretty heavy," He acted it as if it is really heavy but then he smiled.

"Really?" She pushed him and then she laughed. The man grabbed her hand and held her hand tight. She was shocked at first but then she felt so exultant when he held her hand like that.

"You know what? My manager allowed me to get leave on Tuesday and Wednesday morning. I can continue my internship at 2.00p.m as usual. You were right saying that I need to talk to him instead of sneaking out secretly to go out for classes."

"I'm glad to hear that. Congratulation!" He smiled and he kissed her head. He too was shocked to his unexpected action towards her. To this woman, he was so vulnerable. As if he would give everything to her. He could not hide his feeling for her, as his body would translate what he was thinking about her.

He was still remember the second time of meeting her near the block of the hostel where he was helping out some of the worker to carry and emptied the trash bins to the new truck of the company. They were actually testing the new machine that would help the elders to carry the big bin to the truck easily. So he stood there and because got some of the problems he helped them out. It turned out he looked like one of the workers as well. There she was standing not far from the site and waited and watched the workers completed their work. She prepared some drinks and sandwiches near the stairs with her small table which was a very rare to see. There were five all of them. She fed them without feeling disgusting and everyone there knowing her very well and friendly toward her.

In the beginning, he tried to avoid her and tried to leave the site as he already met her that early that evening during the incident in the park.

"Hey! It was you. Here grab some sandwich." She pulled his arm toward the table. At first he tried to turn down the invitation but when everyone insisted him to have some, he then just went with her. She handed him hygienic wet tissue to wipe his hands. He looked and observed her actions. It wasn't awkward but full with love and gentle.

She didn't even asked him anything but just fed him.

"Guess what?" Suddenly she whispered to him. "I have brought this." She gave him a small container when he said he could not eat anything made from or with egg. When he opened it, there were a few sticks of grilled pork sausages. His eyes widened as it was his most favourite food ever.

"Whoa!!" He said it out loud without expected it coming out from his mouth. Then he covered his mouth with his bare hand slowly. The other workers laughing seeing him excited.

"This is my favourite one. Thank you very much." He grabbed a stick and eat it with flattering. He smiled and she liked to see he smiled.

Since the encounter, they would meet almost every day in the evening as if they were making appointment where the truth was they met by coincidences within one week time.
