THE MAN

The Era of 1940's was a start of  a new Revolution. After the war being won by the Americans, things were starting to change. Changes were starting to take place. Places were starting to get more satiated. And here's the decorations of CHRISTMAS we're a symbol of the peace where it's starting to sit on people's hearts. A celebration of life and desires and dreams.

Violet, staring out of the glass window at the sky watching the snowflakes fall on the heaps of snow already on the road. Children loitering on the road playing with the snow, making fun of each other, sometimes arguing at something but still at the end it all sorts out as if nothing ever happened.
Smiling at them for the last time she went back to her work standing at the front of the library at her cash counter playing her role as the Librarian of the Town.

Violet is a very sophisticated and kind hearted woman. All her life she's always been a trophy child, trophy daughter, trophy student. She was a perfectionist and most ladies and gents of her age either envy her or just way too much jealous.

Violet has been the Belle of her hometown ever since she has been a girl. Men whistle and catcall and pine after her, but they only want her for her looks, since The Great Depression has left her without much of a dowry. She's locked herself away as the town librarian.

Ding!
The door bell rang as another customer enters through the door into the library. It's usual to her of having customers time to time and the Ding ! Dong! Sound ringing to her ears, so she didn't need to look at each and every customer who enters the library. Rather she emerge herself into the newspaper more taking in today's headlines.

After feels like forever she glances up to her surroundings. Looking at each and every one of the customer. Some can't decide what they want to buy and some are just wandering around.
All of them are known faces except...

A Man...

The Man with a huge built, the man wearing a long ironed cardigan still his bulging muscles can be seen through. The anticipation is growing up so fast for her to just only see the face of the Man. She never felt the need to be so eagerness just seeing someone's face that too from a far corner of the space. But as if the Man sensed of having eyes on him he looks straight for a moment and in a snap his head turns to her direction. She lets out a small gasp as she got caught up in the moment.

Her breathing hitched.

Blue Eyes... Ocean Blue eyes. Even though he is far from noticing anything at all from the distance but the street light Ray's made path through the window pane right on his face.

It isn't just her but the Man himself couldn't take his eyes off her for the moment. He couldn't fight the urge to let go of the staring. How can he ? It's like a white little innocent Dove in front of him staring at him with those peanut size eyes.

Ding Dong !

The intense trance was broken by the ringing bell and there arrived the same old Gully boys. The boys who makes her day bad. The boys who buys nothing but disturbs her with their taunts and discarded comments.

'Hey Violent' says Ryan, one the five boys in a very foul manner.
'Good evening Sir' she tried to be as much kind as she can be, after all she doesn't want to create any chaos in the silent library.
' Aww come on Violet don't do that formalities with me now, you know very much what I came for, don't you? ' He brings his fingers to brush her baby hairs from her face but she slaps away his hand and moved away a bit.
'I am saying it again and I will continue to say it again and again and again.... I am not interested in you or your stupid ideas about me' she said with a little anger in her voice this time. But boys being boys they never get her Red Flag instead they takes it as a challenge.
'So feisty ! I like that spunk of yours'
He says leaning over the counter even more 'I like taking challenges Ms Violet and remember this very well I never loose'.
He smirks in a very evil way which makes her shrink in fear.
'The faster you say Yes the easier it gets for both of us Violet, otherwise you don't even know what can be the consequences.' he says

'And what are the consequences you are talking about ?'

All of our heads snaps at the owner of the voice that came from the side.

It's him, the man with ocean blue eyes.

'I asked something here you boys, What are the DAMN Consequences ?'
He says while glaring at them.
