CHAPTER XXXVII: THE FORGOTTEN WARM

It was a swift moved. The man already caught up from the pain, and was about to kick her on the ground. Her arms instinctively covered her head.

"Ack."

At her narrowed sight, the man fell down. "Wait. How—?"

Then, she turned her glance up. Brown hair with a mask. It was the boy that she was looking for. "Rose!"

Rose approached the middle aged man, who was still lying on the ground, by his kick. The man still boiling in pain. He was crouching on the ground and holding to his abdomen, where he was kicked greatly. Nevertheless, it did not stop Rose to kick him again on its side. The man rolled down the ground. It was a heavy kick.

"Ack. Please... please. Enough." The man started to beg for mercy.

"Please. I am sorry." Cough cough.

Rose stopped, turned around. It was then he approached her who was tossed on the ground. He held her gently and stood her up.

"Rose..." Beatrice' eyes welled up in tears again, but not because of her present situation. It was because that he was safe, and her fears did not occur.

The man, who was beaten up, was still able to stand up. Rose turned back again to him, and gave him a big upper cut. It was the time that the man was already knocked out.

"Rose..."

["I am sorry for being late, My Lady. Do you feel alright?]

Beatrice did not even give any attention on the scribbles, instead, she carefully examined him. "Thank God!"

"..."

"Thank goodness. Nothing bad happened to you, Rose. I am very worried when you were gone." She was crying with relief. She was really worried when he was gone.

"..."

"Please don't disappear like that again."

Rose' irises widened and his heart was covered with mixed inexplicable emotions: guilt, warm, relief, and so forth. "Why are you being like this? You should not have acting this way."

****-------****

Both of them already returned from the market, Rose escorted her from the woods. He already handed to her the gift for her maid, which the latter was already hugging it.

Even though, the ending event on their trip had unexpectedly unpleasant and dangerous part, the overall result was fun and gratifying. And on the other hand, she was relief that nothing harm happened to them.

She couldn't help to savor the joyful events that she had with Rose.

"While looking at the stores, we were like leisurely strolling around. This naughty acts became my instant vacation. It was my first little naughty adventure in this timeline. I also able to eat some street foods again and to look some new stuffs. It was like I am going on a date." She excitedly thought.

Flustered.

"Date?"

"..."

"No, wait. Why I am thinking that way? Of course, Rose is just a friend. His his... his" She slowly turned her back to the man behind her. "His just a friend, right?"

Gulp.

Scribble scribble

[Did you forget something?]

"Ahhh.. No. It just..."

She carefully perused the man with slightly cold bright crimson eyes in front of her. His long brown hair thread that shines glossily. "Aren't you lucky to be born with that dazzling hair? It was like made of thread of spider webs that gleams whenever touched by the light."

Smile.

"I just thought of how fun it is today."

"..."

She gave her brightest smile to him, and said. "Rose, thank you for today. I would not be able to do it without you. Let's go back now in the estate."

***-------****

"My Lady, the bath is already prepared. Would like to go now?"

"Yes, Marielle. Thank you for your kind assistance."

"It is my pleasure, My Lady."

She stood up and headed to the bathroom. Unlike in the past that Marielle went to assist her, she ordered her to only prepare the bath and informed her of it. Experiencing to live in a modern and innovative era, bathing on her own was just a piece of cake. She was noble in this timeline, but she was trained independently in her previous life.

After taking off the robe, she carefully went in the bath tub with warm water and filled with rose petals. The lavender candles were lighted up. The scent wafted through out the room. It was very relaxing after the events that she had through with Rose.

Flustered.

"On the first terrace, I will go and wait there for you. Don't forget that, Rose. Okay?"

"..."

"It is my birthday, and I also wanted to celebrate it with you too. So, please come. Don't forget, Rose." She happily said to him.

"..."

"Then, see you at my birthday, Rose." She said while waving goodbye to him.

She crouched and hugged her knees under the water. Her body seems emitting an unknown heat. She felt like her body was burning inside. It was one of the forgotten feelings that she had in her previous life; hence, she knew what it was. If it was explained in other words, it was said, "you have butterflies in your stomach."

Her lips curved upward with blushed cheeks. She never thought that she was still capable to feel this kind of warm in her heart.

In her previous life, she was a career driven woman so she never had experienced to be in a relationship. She doesn't know if that is one of the reasons though. Looking at her friends building up their own family, she also started to question herself, her decisions in life.

But because of the support and love from her family and friends, those questions were little by little died out like bubbles in the air. She fully focused in striving her career and nurtured her own capabilities. Travel and enjoy, read all her favorite books, and/or watched movies in her vacation. But little did she not know, the time froze her heart, and was eaten by her own solitary. She was drunk living her own life independently. Fated love became a taboo in that timeline. It was a forgotten feeling. Truthfully, it did not become one of her regrets at that time, but now that she was living as Beatrice, a second chance was given. The forgotten feeling was remembered.

Her eyes focused at the calm warm water. "I wonder. If he could speak... how nice it would be if I can hear him calling my name."

She warmly smiled at the thought. The thought that Rose will call her by name, to be able to hear his voice how nice would it be.

After transmigrating in this world, it was the first time that she genuinely did something different other than saving her neck and Beatrice's family from the future destruction.

"Thank you, Rose."
