Of course she had to eat for two now.
It was just past 4 pm and she was already very hungry, she needed to get cheeses and butter, she wanted a make a special sandwich, she craved that, she opened her purse and realised she had spent the last remaining cash on her for far and she was left with just 20 dollars, she had emptied her account for her family especially her father's medical bill, she had made a huge sacrifice not to go into debt, she didn't want to have loan sharks lurking around or having to pay interest. She just wanted them to be stable, she decided to get butter at least, she knew she might not be able to get the cheese but at least she could still make a good sandwich
She changed from her nightie into a black bongos gown, she didn't want people to know she was pregnant, although no one here knew her in town B where she moved to, she had gone to work by train which transverse the two cities it was an hour drive by rail.
The pregnancy was already beginning to show, sooner than later she knew she would have to change jobs and look for another around town B. But she needed her salary for that month, although the ma ager had promised to give her but she wasn't expecting a full salary, she knew that the manager was only trying to extend kindness to her by paying him from his personal money, they had just let her off, just like that, she thought.
She took few steps further towards the door and she opened it, she felt something hit her leg, she quickly turned her head facing downwards to see, it was a tin can containing tuna, the brown shopping envelope had fresh lettuce coming out from it, if there was more to it she was soon to find out,
The surprise in her face was evident as she bent down slowly to pick up the can that had lost its way, she had been receiving this before now but she had never gotten it on a Wednesday and less than 10 days apart she had gotten some about a week ago, why was this coming now. She picked it up and this time there was something different about the tag, it was like this was gifted, it was the same tag but a different write up it had a small signature just beneath L.M
She figured he was sending the groceries, who else knew where she relocated to asides him, she smiled sheepishly, blushing.
Lee Muchen had made the delivery himself, he had bought the groceries based on the information Chae won had gathered, on what she routinely got from Mars supermarket, he stood and watched her from a distance at the side of the building close to the stairwell, she was as pure as the see, her brown eyes were a beauty to behold, her dark coloured her which rested freely on her shoulders cause his heart to beat twice as fast, he was falling deeply for her and he knew it. He felt like walking up to her and giving her a warm hug, she must be going through a lot he thought.
After blushing for about 2 minutes she made her way through the door, going back inside her room, she locked the door tightly as a glimpse of hope flashed through her soul, she was revigorated, it was comforting to have someone looking out for her, her mind flashed back to the time when he followed her to bring back her father. He barely knew her but he showed her kindness, contrary to what people said about him being cold and arrogant, she saw him from a different light.
Her heart raced rapidly at the thought of it, she cautioned herself, she wasn't going to let anyone play with her feelings again, she wasn't willing to go through emotional trauma so she was to put an end to whatever fire was brewing in her fragile heart.
"Or perhaps could I be connecting with him in this way because I'm carrying his child?" she thought for a moment
"Get over this already Eun Ha!"
she vented in frustration.
She took the grocery bag to the kitchen
And carefully removed the items in it. He had thought of everything, he even got her vitamin supplements. She almost broke into tears seeing her cravings in one bag, without any efforts, like he knew all she needed. This melted her heart, she picked the tag and stared at the tag LM if she had her easy she would have laminated it and pasted it on her wall.
She chuckled out loud at the thought of that
