CH. 3. We meet again...!

"Miss, are you okay?", alyia giggles.

alyia had been teasing her since the incident happened and Hua Lin couldn't say anything because she admitted that she was mesmerized by the stranger's beauty. How she wished she knew who the stranger was.

" Alyia rúh, stop already!", Hua Lin glared at her friend.

Alyia had been her friend since childhood, they were inseparable. She was Hua Lin's partner in crime, her sister, and everything. Alyia was a plain girl with round huge spectacles on her eyes, yet she looked beautiful with her long black hair tied in a ponytail.

Alyia stopped the moment as her friend called her by her full name, which meant she wanted her to stop.

knock!..

"alyia, Lin are you inside? ", Hua Lin's mom calls from behind the door.

"yes..! mom".

Hua's mother made them a request to collect some shrimps from the market as she had run out of them.

" Do you think I will be able to meet him today?", Hua Lin looks at her friend with puppy eyes.

"You wish, girl!", alyia smirks at her.

They went straight to the fish market for the shrimps since it was something to be sold faster than other products.

As expected the fish market was hugely crowded. They squeeze themselves within the crowd and enter a less crowded area.

As they were buying the shrimp, Hua Lin hears a familiar voice nearby. She turns to glance at the person when alyia calls for her.

" lin!", alyia already had collected the shrimp from the shopkeeper, all it was left to pay. Lin pays for the shrimp and they turn to leave when a tall figure appears in front of them.

Lin, stops at her pace to look up.* It's him*

"oh, hi young lady!", he greets her.

" oh!", Lin was startled at his sudden greeting as she thought he wouldn't remember her.

He looked as handsome as the day they meet.

But for lin, he looked more handsome than before in his silk black shirt.

"HI!", she waves at him shyly.

"ah! you seem to be sensible today!", he taps her head and smiles.

Hua Yi's face burns as he touches her hair,

" yes, thank you for helping me the previous day!".She bows respectively.

"it's, okay!", he glances at her and smiles." Did you buy some shrimp".He glances at the bag the girl behind Hua Lin had.

Lin gets startled at his sudden question.

"Ah! Yes!". She smiles.

" Oh! then I must hurry to release they will over!".He visions the shop filled with the crowd.

"Yes! you must hurry!". Hua lin says in concern.

"The....young lady. Hope we meet again!".

He smiles and paces to leave when lin calls him," excuse me, perhaps can I know your name?".

Hua yi was startled after she asked for his name she couldn't believe she said that and she felt embarrassed.

*Hua lin!!!! you shameless girl!!!*.

"I mean..we can not act like strangers when we me... I mean, it would be easier to greet if we happen to bump into each other again since you helped me.!", she stammered and got shy.

" It's Lingshen!", he smiles at her.

*what a pretty name*, Hua yi could not help but smile, "oh, my name is Hua Lin, it was nice to meet you Mr.ling", she stretches her hands before him.

He takes her hands and held them, " it was nice to meet you too, Hua Lin! until next time!".

He paces to the shop and waves her goodbye.

She watches him until he reached the shop and talked to a man beside him.

They were talking when the man beside lingschen glanced at her. She couldn't look at his face as he was wearing a mask with a cap that covered almost his whole face. He was as tall as lingschen but with border shoulders all suited in dazzling black.

*Woah, his hands felt so soft. Is he talking about me to his friend*, she gazes at him and smiles madly till her friend wakes her from her thoughts.

"Lin!".

Hua lin turns to her friend and grins.

" Are we meant to be?, Isn't it fate...We meet again!.".

Seeing her friend's excitement Aliyah couldn't help but play along with her.

"I think so too, it's destiny!", she cracks up.
