Icy-Shock (Completed)

29. Great View

Heartina...

Roof top...

I imagined the roof top to be garden with beautiful flowers with a lot of tables and chairs in between. But it was not like that at all. There was a big musical dancing fountain in the middle. The shape of the fountain was irregular. Actually, when I watched the fountain, I could see the shape changing. It was a sort of illusion yet it was the best fountain that I have ever seen in my life. Surrounding the fountain was an arrangement

of objects of same type. The first circle was composed of lights of all colors and a single disco light. The second circle was of potted plants. These plants had beautiful flowers of different shades especially- blue, red and violet. The next circle was a sort of stand for people to stand nearby and watch it. The final outer circle was dining tables and chairs. I thought we should have been there for dinner.

I looked up at Choi Young. He had been watching me silently all that time and taking in my reaction about that place. I could see how much he cared for me. Was he in love with me? No, of course, because he was one among the richest men in Korea and I could never match to his status at all even if I worked till my death. But, I liked him very much. My liking was growing day by day. Before it becomes too much, I must move away from him. That will be good for him and me. I did not want to make him uncomfortable because of me.

"This place is really beautiful, Young", I smiled at him.

I suddenly noticed, he had his arm around my shoulders and I moved away casually as though, I was examining the place. I sat down near a plant which had beautiful ink blue flowers.

"What flowers are these Young?" I asked him from there.

He came close and told me it was called as Petunia integrifolia and was a rare species.

"Come let us eat first", he took my hand and moved towards a table.

"We should have come here by dinner", I told him.

"Why?"

"So that, we would have enjoyed this beautiful dancing fountain. Since, it is day, its colors are not properly seen", I groaned.

"That will not be a problem", he said with a smile.

"How?"

"Watch it now!" he said.

I watched eagerly. He gave a loud clap and the free space around disappeared and I could see walls surrounding us. We were trapped inside a big hall with dim light. The day light did not penetrate at all and it appeared as though it was late in the night. Then I saw the fountain. It was the best thing I had ever seen in my life. The water was of different colors and the water glittered under different lights. To add further beauty, our table had candles and made it look like a romantic candle-light dinner.

"W-O-W", I said and Young smiled at me.

Also, after this arrangement, each of the potted plants was lighted too. The ink blue flower, I noted earlier was emitting sky blue colour now.

"Now are you ready to place your order?" asked Young and gave me the menu card. There were a lot of items and after seeing the price, I put down the menu card. The price was so high. For four slices of bread and omelets, the price was 2K $.

"What is it Heartina? Are there not any items that you wish to eat?" asked Young in a hurt voice.

"It is not that. Every item on the menu is very costly", I said in the same hurt voice.

"You don't have to worry about it. Pick one soon", he encouraged.

"How am I ever going to repay you Young? Even if I work my whole life, I think I will not be able to repay you", I moaned.

"I see you will not make a choice. Let me pick an item for you", he said and turned to the waiter. "Two bread and omelets with apple juice", he ordered.

"You worry about money too much", he said.

"It is not that. The cost of bread and omelets here is 2K and even if my entire family eats in a hotel, it will hardly cross 50$", I groaned.

The dishes appeared and we ate it quickly.

"Can we leave?" Young asked me.

"Before that, can I ask you something?" I asked him timidly.

"Why do you ask permission for this? Speak freely. What is it? Tell me", he said.

"Can we take few pictures before we leave? I like this spot very much", I asked him.

"Sure. Can we take pictures in my mobile phone?"

"Sure", I replied happily.

We took a lot of selfie shots. We stood together with Young's arm around my shoulders. The last photo, Young carried me with single hand and lifted me off the ground. I felt awkward. But, that was the best shot I ever had. When I looked at the photo, I could see myself hanging near him. We both were of the same height as he had lifted me off the ground. I felt as though, I was back at home when I was with him with his arms around me. Does he have the same feeling for me?

"Is this enough?" he asked.

"More than enough, Young. Thank you so much", I told him happily.

"Heartina, I have a request to you. Do not say thank you and sorry to me again"

"Why?"

"I am really close to you. We do not need formalities between us anymore"

"Then will you also not tell me thanks and sorry hereafter?"

"Of course. Now come let us leave. It is already late. We have to go the mall"

"Mall! But why?"

"Are you kidding? We are going to my island right? Don't we need to pack our things?"

"Yes we have to pack our bags and for that we must go to the café and not to the mall", I said in a puzzled tone.

"Oh! Whenever I go out of town, I want everything to be new. So, we are going for shopping. Ready?"

"What? Ok, that is fine with you. But please, drop me back at the café", I said.

"Not a chance. You are my guest here and it is my job to keep you happy", he smiled.

What sort of person is he? How can a guy spend so lavishly? He is really kind-hearted and extravagant. There is lot to learn about him. He is good at everything. He is rich, smart, well educated, tall, handsome, kind etc. Doesn't he have a weak point at all?
