ACKERMAN IN MARLEY | PART1

Sunrise

With the birth of the new morning sun, new hope and opportunities are born, its infinite cosmic energy engulfed the earth, sky, air and every living thing... Many people do not know this because they did not witness the splendor of this landscape! At the moment of each raising sun, they were asleep and when they woke up, they have missed the morning renewal signal. It leads them to believe that their day is just an ordinary passing in this life, to spend it with the same routine, without renewal. They may face the same dilemmas daily without finding a radical solution. Some of them surrender to the status quo and acquiesce, and some of them try to think of a way out of this cage but with no useful actions...

I think I am fortunate to realise that truth... I said to myself as I was sipping my coffee, sitting on the edge of the window overlooking the garden of our beautiful home... I smiled softly when I remembered my dear mother. She used to watch the sunrise with me every day since I was a child. I remembered her saying the same sentence each time " My dear... no matter what happens, With the beginning of a new day, the world is born again"

After that, I decided to do some exercises. When I was a normal girl I used to train three days a week with Leva...Now I feel an enormous strength that needs to be polished with a new type of training. I tied my hair up, took a deep breath and started to warm up...I stretched my shoulders, then I did knee-to- chest lower back stretch. Awesome! my body was unusually agile . Enthusiastically, I begun with back-bridge one leg shift. I could feel my body moving lightly, without any feeling of fatigue like I was doing nothing. Ok, now I'm going to do a 50 times push-up as a challenge to myself. Previously I was only able to reach count of thirty before I was collapsed.

Indeed, I did it! but still feel I can do more, I felt my nerve made of steel and my muscles were highly flexible. I smirked, feeling joy and excitement as I continued my exercise. I didn't stopped until I felt someone watching me from afar.... I frozed in my place while my body taut, putting all my weight on my hands and tiptoes.

"It isn't appropriate for a man like you to stare at girls... It brings bad reputation you know...Eren !" I said reffering to Eren who was standing at the door of the exercise room.

"Good morning Tami,  I apologize...I wanted to warn you about my presence, but I changed my mind...It's not fair interrupting you after you exceeded 100 moves!"

"Oh, that's kind of you! I myself lost the count! So, did I make a hit?"

Eren laught softly "Not bad as a starter"

"What!!!" I stood on my feet, hands on hips. My left eyebrow is raised as I stared firmly into Erin's eyes, who had a wide smile and a look of admiration on his face.

"Let's see your capabilities, you taugh, muscular Mr. Kruger"

"Is that a challenge?"

"Absolutely"

"Deal, but not now, you still a newbie and there will be no parity between us"

My head flared with anger, my blood boiled while Eren was overwhelmed with joy, and smirked. I started to believe he liked to provoke me on purpose so damn much!

"Ohh what a parade you have... I didn't expected you to visit me so early... admit it Kruger do you really miss me!?"

"Ahh did you forget we have a mission after couples days. We need to arrange our task together. So you will see me often"

Eren what a mysterious clever man, I can't keep up with his words... he doesn't want to confess and always finds another argument to justify his actions "does watching me doing work out is part of evaluating my eligibility for the task?" I said while hands were on waist, feet were apart.

"Brilliant girl, and I found it not bad as a start"

"What is this fuss?" Damir interrupted us

"Tami has a lot of energy to argue today"

"Well...be careful Tami, he's good at it...However, let's go to take a sample of your blood I need to go early today"

"I will join you in 15 minutes Dami"

"Ok dear" Damir and Eren went to the sitting hall and I went to take a shower. After that, I quickly dried my hair, put on my new clothes then joined them in the room.

Damir drew a sample of my blood and headed to the lab to be tested by Peter. Then Eren asked me to go for a walk, so we left my house together.

"After all that argument this morning, it turns out You came to take me to Mr.yosuke café!"

"I asked you yesterday and you agreed, you shouldn't have been surprised!"

"But you didn't tell me you will came to escort me"

"You didn't like me to come?"

I stopped for a moment because Eren squeezed my hand while he was staring at my eyes deeply piercing my soul with his pure blue ones!.

There was a moment of silence between us, it was the first time I saw Eren's eyes up close. I was amazed, my eyes wide open, filled with tender feelings and other ones that I could not hide from him... Indeed, the latter was what he was looking for... I could clearly feel his heartbeat as he held my hand, as the air around us was different from that which enveloped the entire world.

At that cretical moment, I have no choice but to confess how I truly feel "On the contrary Eren...One day, I wished if I could spend sometime with you like normal people do...And my wish finally came true"

Eren's pulse quickened, his cheeks blushed, lips parted revealing a warm smile that I was seeing for the first time. The same tender feelings felled his eyes. Without realizing it, his gaze shifted to my lips. I felt my heart race quickly... I couldn't resist my desire for him anymore. I closed my eyes, feeling his face little closer to me, I can sense his breath an inch away from my lips "I don't make promises, but I will make an exception for you... I will always be by your side, Tamara from now on" He wispered in very low serene voice.

Delighted by his words, which echoed through my soul, I opened my eyes to see his face... "What did you think I would do?" He said to me with a look of pride on his face.

"Haaah" definitely I couldn't answer. I quickly looked down trying to hide my shyness and red face. That was breathtaking

"Let's go" Eren interwoven my fingers with his we continued to walk together in that spectacular road, which was filled with thick flowering trees on both sides. As we walked, our shoulders brushed together, I felt dizzy as if I was drunk...I could only hear the birds chirping around us, while springtime butterflies hovered over the flowers. It was indescribable feeling flooded in my heart...to start falling in love with someone...
