Am I still alive? (2)

Mahalia was helped by the little girl whose name according to her is Tala, to sit up. A man is rushing towards her direction and she was stunned, it's as if she knows this guy but she can't really remember so she just brushed it off her mind.

But oh crap! She just realized, the man walking up to her bed with a stern look but a sad glare, who aside from being sturdy, is unexpectedly tall and extremely handsome. Mahalia can't help but drool. She just tried so hard to conceal it. But holy cow, she just felt her heart beat so fast and began counting as she take in a deep breath and exhaled too, as if calming her nerves.

She had never seen such a hunk before.

'But he seems familiar at first! Oh maybe he's my dream guy? Mr. Right is that you? Hoho!' Mahalia keeps thinking while sneaking glances to the guy.

She'd never seen such 'Adam' who has that charisma and magnetism. To think that the hunk is not even smiling, and he already has those qualities. What more if he smiles?

He is rather serious looking who fits the 'mysterious handsome guy' pedestal.

She's also sure that he's not that kind of

'closeted-gay' hunk but a 'sweep-me-of-my-feet' hunk because of his voice. Oh how manly and husky his voice is!

"You may go back to your post now Tala." said the man melodiously as if he is singing for her instead of just merely talking to his maid.

The thought changed Mahalia's expression from amusement and awe to confusion which made her brow arc.

'Wait is she his maid? maybe yes because she keeps calling her 'master' Oh I guess they're really rich as hell!"

"Yes master" said Tala and bowed while mischievously jumping up and down as she walks, not at all robotic anymore.

'There she called him master again. Wait, don't leave me with this guy cute little lady, I might eat him up whole', Mahalia thinks to herself while seeing the little girl leave.

Tadeo is flabbergasted with the events which happened this single day. He is just back from the world within Cylindrical Room's special book and saw this same face which brought him back to the pain the nightmares of the book's unfinished pages.

He had never withdrawn his gaze from the woman for even a second. She really looks like her, specially since she's now clothed in a 'proper' way but those facial expressions she's making are weird. Not at all close to Maliya's lovely gestures and demeanor. What world did this lady come from? Did he make the right decision to treat this creature's wounds?

All he can do is sigh.
