Chapter 39: Quest For The Unknown

"Can you feel my thumping heart?" he asked her with depth in his eyes

"...." (no reply)

Danica was stiffened out of blush and was staring at Alfred with popping eyes

"My heart always flutters like this, whenever I see you" Alfred said

"I really love you, Danica. Even the thought of losing you shatters me..." Alfred adds and hugs her.

Danica's heart melts upon hearing his true feelings, she was about to hug him and confess her feelings too, but, before she could. The flashbacks of the past strikes in her mind, she reckons her sufferings and torments and steps back.

She steps back and leaves the area hurriedly.

Alfred stares at her, as she left.

"I need to work harder to make her mine" Alfred muttered inwardly

"I know you like me too" he smiled and said

[ You will accept your heart's call one day and be mine ] he thought

Meanwhile, the party ends.
