Will you wear it? (2)

If this is just normal arrange a marriage between two parties that give consent and taking everything into consideration. And not about sweeping brides with my big sister, I wonder how this day will turn out to be. Even there will be an awkward moment for getting adjust with each other, the guilty feelings nevertheless for taking away my sister's happiness might never come into the pictures.

And her last message can be interpreted into many things. Mah, snap out of it! I slap both of my checks forcing my self not to become overwrought again. What done is done.

"Is it still painful?"

Huh?

The pain I try to ignore that stem from wearing my new shoes today, did he notices it? Since I still don't reply to his questions, he just keeps watching me, waiting. Because I was caught in the web of mesmerizing his eyes. The primary thing. The blues eyes that remind of seas at my back home.

Standing so close, overwhelming with curiosity, I didn't notice my face is getting so close to his face, trying to see is he wearing the blue color of contact lenses. I fail to see any colored contact design on his eyes. Even after getting more closer and watch the area where the edge cornea (limbus) meets the white portion (sclera) of his eyes, I still can't detect any movement of lens when he blinking to moisture his eyes.

I blinking a few times when I feel a warms heat in my cheek and with both of his hands cupping my face, he put a bit distance between us.

"It is my real color eyes. You can continue watching it when we are at home."

He releases my face and even though he speaks without emotion, I can detect he doesn't feel annoying about it. He continues to look down inspecting my feet. I put my hands where my heart beating. Safe! The rhythm is still normal and doesn't have any warning that I must pay attention to. Yup, still safe from developing any deep feelings towards him.

Inhaled a deep breath, I release it with an ease mind.

"Is it still painful?"

"No, it is not."

The best deal to handling the pain is just ignoring it like an abrasion at my feet. because once you remove your shoes and try to wear it back will double the pains and the anxiety. Just hold it until you can safely remove the shoes for a longer period and tends the injury.

I hear a small sound like a paper tearing. Alex just put band-aid plaster at the back of my feet. From the paper bag, he brings out a set of flat sandals with flip flop designs. And it adorned with a very bright color of orange-yellow of sunflower. Not only it's pretty but very comfortable when Alex helps me put it in. Even though it truly mismatch with my clothes. But if this cold guy next to me doesn't mind it, why should I?

Breaking new shoes is exciting but not until they are breaking you instead. And the fate of that shoes now silently resides inside the empty paper bag. When I try to take the paper bag, he refuses and keeps hold of it and not give it to me.

This little bit demeanor really cannot make myself justified him as a cold feeling guy, can't I? Even he never smiles at me even once, but I can already feel he is warm at me. Maybe we can be a friend. Not just a stranger that I forced to live together.

Before we walk again, he put my left hand on his belt again. This time without any need to telling me anything. I have already grasped my finger on it.

Malina obviously fails to see that Alex's mouth already slightly turned his mouth corner seeing his wife been obedient this time. He pushes forward the trolly with Malina walks beside him. Alex can see that Malina is dying to put questions ever since she notices him carrying the paper bag. So he just waits patiently until she ready opened her lips.

"I see you carrying this paper bag even before the plane take off, why didn't you give me this sandal to me sooner?"

"If I give it to you earlier, will you wear it?"
