A transmigrated farm life of a retired soldier

🌾13

The sun was hot, she can feel it burning on her skin as she plough the fields.

The straw hat she is wearing is the only thing that helps her cover, it was too hot. Even lebie, who were usually playful was under the tree.

She continues to plough the field. Her muscles ached , but she loved the feeling of it.

In the hot hazy sun, she was already sweating. When she seem to have seen some kind of hallucination.

She saw the familiar figure of gaga and dole. Gaga was waving her hand at her excitedly.

She smiled, as she wave back.

Gaga was carrying a basket, they were both wearing hats to cover themselves from the sun. Like usual. Dole have a piece of cloth covering his face.

Hana saw them settling under the same tree they had eaten a picnic with with uncle fuego.

So she put aside her work as she called for lebie.

Then she walked to them. Smiling " what brought you here? "

Gaga was spreading a huge cloth, smiling up at her. "Well, we figured we want some air,.. " then she sneaked a peek at dole. Who was silent by the side and bit her lips.

She then prepared the snacks on the spread cloth, then said clumsily and almost in exaggeration "ah.. Aiyah! I remember i have something i lost on the way! Ill come back later! " gaga was already walking fast away before hanna could ask her.

Her eyes followed the small figure of gaga with a raised brow.

Then she look at dole and gave a gentle smile. "Lets wait for gaga to return or shall we take a quick bite? " she asks enthusiastically.

Doles eyes were looking away as he pick up a dessert from the basket, removing the cloth covering his face. Revealing the beautiful flaws she had always find fascinating.

Dole watch seriously, seeing her eyes just curving to a warm look. Not once had he seen disgust in her eyes,

And dole felt more pathetic and angry at himself.. Is he really willing to use her??.

"I.. " he says softly. Looking at her seriously.. "Do u think.. I look ugly? "

Hanna blinked, her mouth closing as the hand that was about to put a bread in her mouth stopped.

As she blinks at him. Then a very small smile emerge on her lips. "No,.. Im honest, u may not look so appealing in front of others. But u fascinate me, im not making an excuse. Youre scars is a proof of your strength.. Youre ethereal, atleast in my eyes"

He had never seen an eyes so clear and pure. And he felt his heart beat faster and clench at the same time.

As she took a bite of the bread and start chewing.

His voice echoed in his ear. "Then.. Please MARRY ME! "

She choked. It was not a normal one, she found herself thumping on her chest. The bread stuck on her throat.

Her eyes widening as she stares at his serious blushing face.

She coughs, repeatedly slamming on her chest till when she felt like she was going out of air, her throat cleared out.

He was looking and assisting her in panick, she took a deep breath, looking at him. Her mouth hanged. "What?! "

Her voice is raised, everyone would be surprised of this situation.

Dole bit his lip, closing his eyes. "Im imperfect.. I have my own reasons i cant tell for wanting to marry you, but.. I really.. Need to marry you"

Her eyes stared at his.

He was almost scared on how serious she looked.

Then she shook her head with a smile..

-----

Gaga was waiting from under the tree far away from them. But she can see their figure talking under the trees.

Her heart quickened when dole stood up and left.

And she immediately ran to him. "Young master?! How is it? " she asked happily.

Doles eyes were dark, and he smiled wryly. "... She said no"

Gagas heart dropped. And they were silent all the way back to the palace, so what now?.

Dole laid on his bed., looking at the open window, watching the moon shining on the trees.

He can still remember how she looks at him, there was no anger, or disgust. She just gave a wry smile.

And said, "no"

Dole closed his eyes and took a deep breath,.. But he has to make a way.. He have to.. And he will. For his family.

Hana was looking once in a while at the road that leads to her house. She tries to deny of hoping to see the familiar silhouette of dole.

Yet she knows how much it disturbs her.

She frowned. Putting down her hoe as she went to the nearest tree to rest from the sun.

Shes a modern woman, shes alive, away from the hell hole. And the only thing that changed much is her having a dick.

.... Her dick. Fuck.

Shes really not ready for this kind of change, it was more challenging to accept than the apocalypse.

But shes here now.. And she really never thought of getting married whatsoever.

And dole..

She didn't know. Hell she didn't even know how you know if she likes someone when she never liked anyone before when shes just busy surviving in the apocalypse.

She sighed, its been 3 days.. And thinking about him almost drive her insane.

Agh! She cant take it anymore. She took her hoe and went to her house. Taking her hunting tools with a frown. She wants to let out some steam!

The 4th day, she went to the city carrying her catch, she immediately sold it and was preparing to buy new items for her kitchen when she heard the familiar sound of gagas voice in the bustling market.

She peaked through the crowd. Her eyes landing on doles back.

And she bit her lip.. She hesitated and still tries to walk away. But her sharp hearing heard gagas words to dole.

"Master.. Are we really gonna buy a slave for u to marry? " she asks with worry.

Her eyes unsure.

Doles eyes were on the dirt, as he sighed. "Do i have a choice.. "

His voice stopped. When a strong hands grabbed his hand and spun him around. His blue eyes met her golden ones. Her eyes full of anger.

"Arent i a choice?!! I just wanna hear u say u want me. Not need me!.. Theres a clear difference! "

Her mouth open to spoke the words even she didn't expect to say. But she was so hurt that she continued.

"You say u need to marry me.. Why dont u try saying you WANT to marry me. "
