"Ah, life is difficult and unpredictable, I feel like this world is like a game of mystery that I can't reach with my hands and my mind." While stretching her arms, enjoyed the vanilla ice cream that Hazel had just given her.

Hazel smiled a little seeing Vira's behavior, they were on a bench in the campus park, both of them had just finished enjoying lunch in the canteen.

"I've got some more ice cream, would you like?" Hazel asked, reaching into the bag next to where he was sitting.

Vira immediately got up and stared at Hazel's shopping bag. "Give it to me, I will take a lot of ice to cool down my brain." She hissed with a face of annoyance mixed with pleasure.

"College tasks, household problems, all of that messing out in my brain. Ah, it feels really hard for me." Vira said with a frustrated face, she took another pack of ice cream and enjoyed it with a face full of happiness.

"Ah, how long have I enjoyed ice cream like this, do I still look like a hyperactive teenage girl?" Vira asked Hazel.

Hazel turned and smiled softly. "No, you don't look like a childish teenage girl. You are a great grown woman." Hazel praised gently stroking Vira's hair, his face that looked warm, his little smile seemed so shining under the bright blue sky.

"Ah, you touched the hair that hasn't been shampooed for how many days." Said Vira with a happy face.

Hazel withdrew his hand hurriedly, he looked at his palm for a few seconds then laughed, he hesitated to smell his palm.

"Hahaha .. don't smell or you will pass out!" Exclaimed Vira, laughing out loud.

Seeing Vira who can laugh out loud after having had a hard day making Hazel happy too, he feels that the woman next to him will look more beautiful and charming with a loose smile like that.

"Ah, do you remember how we first met?" Suddenly Hazel remembered the past.

Vira's smile immediately changed when she had to remember the day of their meeting which was not pleasant at all. "Why are you suddenly asking that, you make me in a bad mood!" Vira hits Hazel's shoulder and the man pretends to grimace.

"You insulted me, you said I was a poor and geeky woman, ah, now look at you. You sat with me, you even bought this geeky woman an ice cream!" Vira hissed with sharp eyes.

Hazel chuckled. "I feel guilty for my attitude to you. I'm allergic to poor and geeky people .. "there was a different tone from Hazel's voice, his warm face also turned cloudy, he lowered his head for a while before he finally continued the sentence, while Vira listened attentively and enjoyed the ice cream on his hands.

"Do you think I was born as the son of the rich?" Hazel asked.

Vira was surprised to hear that question, she turned her head and knitted her eyebrows, she shook her head with an innocent facial expression. "I Do not know." The answer was short.

Hazel chuckled at Vira's face which looks like a stupid girl. "I don't, my mother is a beautiful country girl, she is in a relationship with a wealthy businessman who was working on a road project in the village."

Hah! Vira's face looks surprised, she listens to Hazel's story carefully until she doesn't realize that the ice cream starts to melt.

"They dated until my mother got pregnant after the road project was completed in my mother's village. The man disappeared like he was swallowed by the earth, he never contacted, let alone met my mother. He didn't even know my mother gave birth to a baby boy or a baby girl, I guess he didn't want to know!" Hazel hissed with red eyes, he tried to hold back the tears especially when they were still in the campus area.

Vira couldn't comment until she felt the back of her hand cold, she was surprised to see that the ice cream in her hand had melted.

Hazel hurriedly pulled a handkerchief from his pocket, he immediately asked for Vira's hand and wiped it gently, very gently, and made Vira feel nervous and awkward.

"I am a country boy who barely didn't understand what is a modern city, what is good clothes and branded, I was bullied by my friends since I was born, I live with scorn and humiliation for being born without a father, my mother called a whore, my mother was called a mistress an entrepreneur who doesn't want me. It hurts so much, it feels like being poor and humiliated is so sickening. "Hazel's voice sounded trembling, but he could still smile while wiping and turning Vira's arm with a soft touch.

"I saw you in the past, you reminded me of my past and my mother in the village, you made my heart frightened, feared the humiliation and ridicule by other people, I was afraid my life here would change if other people knew who I was and my mother was. I'm trying to be a fashionable and modern young man, I try to blend into metropolitan life, and… "Hazel returned Vira's hand, he straightened his eyes, put the sticky handkerchief in his pocket.

"Ah, give it to me, let me wash it." Said Vira prevented Hazel from putting the dirty handkerchief in his pocket.

Hazel shook her head. "No, I'll keep this vanilla scent." He said with a small smile. "I hated you at the beginning of our meeting, but I admire you, for now, you become what you are, you didn't cover up your flaws, you have bright and confident eyes, I think after you turning into a capital girl, you will be arrogant like me, but not, even though you've married a rich and young businessman, you are still like yourself, you are still the same .. you make me .. amazed. "

Vira was stunned by Hazel's words. "Do you admire me?" Vira asked in disbelief.

Hazel nodded his head without hesitation. "You are a great and strong woman, even after experiencing a bad incident at that French restaurant, you are still strong and can still laugh just because of ice cream. I'm sure, you are not a woman who is fragile and perishable, you are a cool mature woman, you are so great! ``Vira still couldn't believe Hazel's praise.

"Do you think I'm that great and you admire me?" Vira asked with a flushed face, she blushed at Hazel's exaggerated praise, she scratched her nape several times to get rid of the awkwardness.

"Oh one thing, our first meeting wasn't in a building, we met somewhere else! A high place into the air." Hazel's words made Vira's eyebrows knit together.

"In the air," Vira repeated in disbelief, now she was scratching her head with a questioning face.

"We met on the plane, you and I sat next to each other," Hazel said.

Hearing Hazel's confession made Vira startled, she covered her mouth with her palms, her body slightly moved away, she couldn't possibly forget the man who sat beside her at that time.

"No way, are you that man. You, the man who wore black glasses, who-- "Vira could not continue her sentence, she was dumbfounded with a nod of Hazel's head.

"Geez, so it's you! "Vira's face flushed, she could not believe that the embarrassing incident on the plane that time, the returned pictured in her head, playing.

Flashback flight.

Vira climbs the plane stairs with a look of doubt and fear, this was her first flight, she looks like a thief watching the target.

"Welcome miss, please .." said the flight attendant.

"Um .. this is my first flight, may I ask where I sit?" Vira asked with nervous gestures, she made other passengers queue behind her back.

"May I see your ticket, miss." Said the flight attendant with a warm face.

"Ah, yes… just a moment." vira looks for her boarding pass, she keeps it in her backpack after passing the check. But, she couldn't find her boarding pass, her face turned panicked.

"Miss, please come this way, so other passengers can enter first." said the flight attendants asking Vira to shift their position not to block the path of other passengers.

"Ah, yeah-- sorry, just a moment, I put it here, but--" her face turned pale as she opened her bag and couldn't find her boarding pass, she checked all the pockets of her pants and sweater, but still couldn't find her boarding pass.

"Wha, how about this?" Vira asked with a panicked face. "Looks like I dropped my boarding pass when I went down the capsule hall to the plane earlier!" Said Vira with a scarred face. "I have to go back to find my plane ticket." She said with a pale face, she was increasingly panicked, she was afraid could not find the plane ticket that Lisa gave her.

The flight attendant seemed confused to see Vira's manic behavior, she did not have time to answer, Vira had already run down the stairs of the plane, she took the initiative to trace the path she had passed and hoped to find her boarding pass.

Not long after, Vira was ordered to get back on the plane.

"Miss, your plane ticket has been found, please return to the plane, the plane will take off soon." Said someone stopping the eyes of Vira who was watching the path she had passed earlier.

"Huh, you're serious, so someone found my ticket?" Vira asked happily.

"Yes miss, now please follow me." Said the well-dressed man.

Without refusing, Vira followed in the man's steps.

She was a little confused because she had to go to the front of the plane while the others were already sitting on the fuselage.

"Miss, your seat is over here." asked the flight attendants to invite Vira in a very polite and friendly manner.

"Ah, fine." Said Vira, bowing her head politely, she examined the situation on the plane, very different from the seat assigned to her. It had a seat that was wider and more comfortable than the one in the back of the plane.

"Please miss."

"Ah, yes .." Vira went to her chair with a hopeful expectant face, she hugged her backpack with a nervous face. She sat tensely on her chair.

"Let me help you fasten your seat belt." Said the stewardess taking the seat belt and asked Vira to relax because she couldn't put the seat belt on if Vira sat on the end of the chair.

"Please lean back, miss, take it easy, we will do our best to make the flight feel comfortable." Said the flight attendant drew a smile at Vira.

"Ah, fine," Vira replied nervously, she tried to slowly shift her buttocks, trying to lean her back with a tense feeling.

This was Vira's first flight. How could she be calm, after the flight attendant left her, her mouth didn't stop saying random words, she held her chest with both hands, she didn't know what she said, just something unclear and disturbing other passengers sitting next to her.

Vira's face turned tense and pale when the plane started to take off, she looked for a grip to endure the fear that made her heart jump out.

Grabbing!

She pulled the blanket off the man who had just found a comfortable position next to her.

"Au!" the man grimacing with a flushed face and choking voice, he lifted his back, glaring behind the sunglasses he was reluctant to take off.

Vira turned around, she was no less dumbfounded when she realized where she had put her hand. She immediately withdrew her hand and apologized repeatedly.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry ..." She whispered, not daring to raise her head, she was sorry and embarrassed.

Her hands were shaking.

"What's wrong, miss, can I help you?" Asked a flight attendant over to Vira.

She shook her head, hiding her burning face.

"Don't hesitate to call me, and say whatever your troubles are." Said the flight attendant warmly.

Vira nodded her head, she still hid her face.

The flight attendant returned to the end of the cabin where she and her partner worked, occasionally smiling at Vira.

Vira clasped her hands with her face bowed shyly, she was scared but also embarrassed. What was that I squeezed! The question kept popping up in her head.

Hazel pulled the blanket over his face, he hid his face grimacing in pain.

Ah damn! What has she done! He hissed in his heart.

"She was harassing me, this shabby woman playing tricks!" Hazel whispered under the blanket with an irritated face. "Should I take responsibility for her!"

****

"Here, tell the girl when you've found the ticket!" Someone handed two business-class boarding passes.

The flight attendant took the two plane tickets with a confused face.

"Tell her you've found this boarding pass." Said the man with a calm face.

The flight attendant nodded understandingly and smiled.
