135 135. She Moved His Heart


    ra screamed and covered her ears. Tears suddenly flooded her face.


    “Stop!” ra screamed in pain.


    However, it was as if ra’s screams were not heard by Samuel. Samuel continued to y his piano fast, not caring about his surroundings. His face was tense and angry. His eyes are bloodshot. Sweat dripped down his temples, cheeks, and nape of his neck.


    “Stop!” ra shouted again.


    When she realized that Samuel didn’t hear her, that’s when ra immediately stepped closer to Samuel. She hugged the man who was immersed in his music, trying to stop whatever he was doing. She held him to her chest and pulled him into her tenderness, making Samuel’s fingers slip away from the piano keys.


    ra’s intoxicating scent like summer cherries wafted into Samuel’s nose, making the owner of the emerald green eyes return to reality. He realized that he was not ying music for ra, but for himself.


    “Sorry! I …,” said Samuel who looked dazed.


    “What was that?” asked ra with a look of pity. Panic and confusion.


    “That … I arranged it myself two months ago. Was that so bad?” asked Samuel worriedly.


    .....


    ra gulped. She couldn’t say that Samuel’s music was bad. She just couldn’t bear the sadness ying in Samuel’s music. It all made her remember all the sadness that hit her.


    “I just immediately thought of how shit my life is!” said ra without a smile.


    Realizing the tears on ra’s cheeks, Samuel asked her for permission to wipe them away. “Can I?” he asked hesitantly.


    ra smiled. She brought Samuel’s hand to her cheek, asking him to wipe away her tears. She didn’t know him. However, for some reason, having him as an escape made her feel at ease.


    While Samuel’s long fingers stroked ra’s smooth cheeks, the woman wiped the sweat on the side of Samuel’s face with her fingers. This made him feel the same way that she felt. Their hearts moved.


    “Are you broken-hearted?” asked ra curiously. Even though Samuel’s face indicated that he was indeed heartbroken, the question still left her lips.


    “That’s it,” Samuel said hoarsely. “She’s someone’s wife. I shouldn’t have expected her.”


    “Wow,” ra said, raising her eyebrows. “What a terrible love affair you have. She loves you?”


    Embarrassed, Samuel shook his head. “They only married because of family business matters. Her husband already has a girlfriend, but he left his girlfriend. I didn’t expect them to maintain their love even though her husband was broke.”


    “Great. They love each other. You’re the bastard!” ra said as she hit Samuel’s chest.


    “I’m such an asshole,” Samuel said. “I just don’t know what to do because I fell in love at first sight.”


    “Poor you, your love is unrequited.”


    “Right.” Samuelughed wryly.


    “You’re handsome. Don’t act like a hopeless person,” ra saidughing.


    “You as well. How is your rtionship with the man who was looking for you that night?” asked Samuel, he still remembered that when ra kissed him, a man was looking for her. “You dumped him already?”


    ra responded by tightening her lips and shaking her head. “My father ... our family doesn’t want this marriage to be canceled,” ra whispered.


    Samuelughed sarcastically. What ra said wasn’t very convincing to Samuel. “You love him, that’s why you don’t break up right?” He guessed, using her.


    “I loved him, but he impregnated another woman,” rained,ughing bitterly. She looked away from him. “The problems are much moreplicated than that.”


    “What an asshole,” Samuelmented angrily.


    ra swallowed heavily, then looked away from Samuel. No one spoke, no sound. Only the sound of the wind blowing softly against the window made the night less still.


    “Too confusing. I don’t even know what I should do,” ra whispered in a weak murmur. Then she said again, “Why don’t you y something fun?”


    He smiled lightly. “That’s a better option.”


    ra then took a position to stand next to Samuel, leaning against the side of the piano. She feltfortable when Samuel started ying the keys, ying music that calmed her heart. Washing away ra’s feelings, as well as her body.


    Unknowingly, ra’s hands and feet were moving on their own, swaying, moving ording to the rhythm. Her beautiful body which was wrapped in a tight top and pencil pants looked even more beautiful as she swayed to and fro.


    Samuel’s eyes couldn’t help but be drawn to see the beauty presented before him. Beautiful bend. Even though she was not as skilled as a professional ballerina, her beautiful body and gorgeous face made her moves look perfect.


    “She can dance apparently,” whispered Samuel to himself.


    Samuel gulped. He remembered that he had not spent a night with a woman in a long time. He wasn’t sure he’d be able to get through the night without struggling.


    Samuel’s darkened eyes followed ra’s every move. The longer the more drifting in her charm. He really wanted to touch her.


    Before long, Samuel stood up from his seat and moved quickly to leave the piano. His hand reached for a shocked ra as he joins her in the dance.


    “You startled me,” ra protested.


    “You too. You didn’t say you were good at dancing,” whispered Samuel in a hoarse voice.


    “Onlypulsory lessons since childhood,” ra answered with a smile. She enjoyed Samuel’s swings. Their movements were in sync. “Is there a problem?”


    Samuel didn’t answer, he just stretched ra’s body, then pulled her back into his arms. The two of them danced in rhythm, without hesitation and awkwardness.


    Movement after movement they did, until their faces were only an inch apart.


    It was then, Samuel whispered in a hoarse voice, “I forgot to say, that I like women who are good at dancing.”


    Samuel’s whisper seemed to bewitch ra. Those dark emerald eyes stared at her intensely. Her face blushed.


    “Your dance is very exciting forey for me,” Samuel whispered. “We were both wounded. Why don’t I help you lick your wound and so do you?”
