THE BATTLEFIELD OF LOVE
Part 83's. Someone From The Past
The last two months have been pretty fun. Having a lover is fun. And she's a romantic and considerate lover. Although he also did not show it blatantly because he was the leader.
And with the extent of the infantry sweep, we managed to turn many areas into green zones and more human populations in Hot Spring. I heard this city and above already accommodate 25,000 residents. That's quite a lot, like a normal small-town population.
"We're short of food I think agriculture is not as fast as population development. Men are asked to hunt. Although there are food shipments from the cities we comb, but it is quite worrying. The land is large but the harvest sometimes succeeds sometimes not maximized. Fortunately our head chef is quite skilled. Otherwise we will eat the begging sardines and exchange from the coastal city."
The city in the northern coastal part is not so big that it is affected a lot, unlike the central part which is quite a lot of black zone.
"I think the food is pretty good. Even if it's like you said, sometimes I don't know what I'm eating. But the important thing is to cook well." Maybe it was rabbit, deer or wild bull meat even if the origin was cooked well acceptable. There are no food choices you have to accept anything. What's exciting is that it's rare for a new case to be bitten because no one dares to eat raw or undercooked meat now.
"Great harvest is soon, we must prepare for winter. In this district there are already 25 safe cities, will support each other later." Now we have to defend the population so as not to starve to death. Every day we communicate with each other."
The safe zone extends its diameter. Some residents even occupied their old homes. Hot Spring is still expanding and growing. Although Andrew seems to be racking his brains. But everything seemed to be eager to help him. Hope everything's okay.
"Nurse Jen, how are you." I met Bella again that afternoon. The Suprise I don't expect now.
"Bella, how are you?" I hugged her. "How are you here." I greeted him right away.
"I'm much better I guess. The food here is much better. Although simple. I work on the farm, I'm sorry I just visited you now, lately we've been very busy handling the harvest. It's early autumn. And there's a greenhouse, where we grow food for the winter."
"You must be working hard?"
"Everyone works hard, as long as we can eat, you are praised for providing us with good health support. You are much praised, you even provide free consulting services. That's very generous. You're the rescue angels here." I smiled at his praise, it was good that they felt supported and had hope.
"We're all working hard for this city. How about I take you to dinner in the soup kitchen here, we can tell you more at the dinner table." It seems like talking to her again would be fun.
We chatted while walking up to the already crowded soup kitchen and sat down to tell stories more time-consuming. Chatting with Donna is fun. I enjoyed our time.
"Here is free to take a hot bath. It was fun, I also went upstairs when the workman gave us a two-week break. The trip there was fun I really had no complaints staying here. Outside it feels a lot worse." He looks optimistic. I love to hear and see the spirit in his tone.
"Look at you, since I last saw you you were healthier." The beautiful girl laughed now. His face was brighter and his eye bags disappeared. He enjoyed working on the farm.
"You brought me here, it seems I should thank you very much. When I worked in the law office I never felt like my life was this calm. There are many cases, many haunting concerns, but here, although I work hard my mind is very calm. I feel like I found the best resort. I don't want to smile at you hearing that.
"Good, I'm glad you look so excited." I patted her shoulder.
"Jen...have you eaten?" Andrew approached me. "Your new friend..." Bella turned around now.
"This is Bella, the refugee who came with me as we were delivering the immune patient. This is our Mayor Andrew." I introduced them both. But they look at each other like they've known each other for a long time? Or do they know each other?
"Bella, I didn't know you were here. I thought you had..." Bella silently looked at him like she was looking at someone very familiar to her. So did Andrew, did they seem to have a special relationship before. "I can't believe I'm still alive. I thought you had...I tried calling you many times but you never answered?"
Bella laughed a little. "Actually from the first day of the crisis, my phone was stepped on. I just ended up hanging from my family a week later. Seeing you be mayor like you're a ghost in front of me. I really didn't know this town had a mayor I thought it was just a military commander."
"You know each other?"
"Ohhh we've been together for a while in high school? It's been a long time since we've met." Together briefly? What does it mean that they've been dating in.high school? I saw them looking at each other. Most likely so, it seems that they still remember each other. And Andrew called her many times.
"Ohh, are you guys dating in high school?" He asked Andrew. Andrew now sees me. "Yes we're dating." I don't know why I felt Andrew was a little hesitant to answer that question.
"Ohhh that's good." And Bella may be a bit disappointed in her tone. He saw me back. "You're so lucky to have mayor Jen's girlfriend." I smiled at Bella, seeing her trying to be normal again. At least he's trying to ignore Andrew now, his eyes are back on me, he seems scared if I'm offended.
"You've been in this town a long time?" Now he's trying to find another conversation and ignoring Andrew's views.
"Oh not yet, we just arrived here early in the summer I guess. Previously our headquarters was somewhere else." He nodded quickly. Steal a look at Andrew who still sees him.
"It's good to see you alive and well Andrew."
"You really live here?" Andrew asked the girl.
"That's what it looks like." She smiled a little. I feel jealous in the corner of my heart. This woman seems special to Andrew she sees it as a treasure she finds, while Bella avoids her sight maybe she's afraid I'll be offended. Again, he tried to contact her many times. Is this the same as me trying to contact Fred? Since school, she still thinks about it?
"You want to talk, it seems you haven't seen each other in a long time. Come sit..." I took her hand to sit with me. Andrew's according to sit there right now he's looking at me maybe aware I'm watching him he's taking his eyes off.
"Works can talk, I'll find Susan if that's the case." I said that when his eyes saw me. And as I was leaving, I was jealous that she was staring at Bella in such a way. What Bella is so special to her that she has to stare at him blatantly like that in front of me without any restraint in front of me.
"Jen don't go." Andrew held my hand.
"Nurse Jen, I'm the one who has to leave because I'm disturbing your dinner. I'll go first okay." Bella's gone now because she doesn't want to offend me.
"Well, I really need to talk to Susan for a second, you haven't seen each other in a long time, maybe you have a lot to tell me." I took off her hand forcefully, obviously I was offended she saw her beautiful high school ex-boyfriend without blinking. I left Andrew at the table with my food. My lips are smiling but my heart is hurting.
"Stupid, you have to go after her. She's your boyfriend." Bella scolded him. I want to cry now that my eyes are glazed over, that beautiful girl must be special to him.
For a long time he did not chase me. Maybe he talked to Bella for a while.
"Jen..." Finally he pulled my hand. But I was already hurt because he didn't catch up with me.
"Why you're here, you guys haven't seen each other in a long time, you should have talked to him longer." I don't want to see it.
"You don't get mad, I just didn't expect to see it here. I thought he was ..." Maybe it's the same as me with Fred, the difference is that Andrew got his girlfriend back in front of him, while I had to let Fred go. When I thought I had true love, there was someone more valuable coming to her.
I took my hand off her, everything was clear, I knew it was like I was waiting for someone to hear. What to cover again.
"It's okay Andrew talk to her if you want to. I can do it myself." He just wanted to make me comfortable but his heart was already in that woman. He doesn't have to lie, he just feels guilty right now. But later time will make it back to Bella.
"No, I'm here to have dinner with you." He was still trying to deny if he was so shaken to see the girl. I let him, however good he is to me. After all, I don't want to make him ashamed of the quarrel between lovers.
He ate with me, although I saw him often pensive. But he tried to cover it up. I appreciate her lying to herself.
"Andrew I want to take a break today there are a lot of patients, it's exhausting." I just want to cry in my own room.
"Come, you're with me, aren't you? Sleep in my place."
"I don't think so, I just want to sleep alone."
"You still mad at me? It was really because I was surprised to see it. Please don't be mad at me." I smiled bitterly.
"No, not because of you. I just want to sleep alone because it's better to rest on my own. I don't want to be bullied tonight It's not because I'm angry." After this, I will get used to sleeping again.
"You're mad at me..."
"Not stupid, don't be so sensitive you're complaining. I just want to sleep well. I'm gonna do my dinner dishes first." I passed from in front of him. But he followed me to the wastaffel where we washed our hands and returned our plates
He's still the good Andrew who feels guilty for making me angry. She's pretty sweet. This memamg is not his fault. If Fred suddenly appeared in front of me, I would also choose Fred. We both know that choice. But he just wanted to make me comfortable.
I yawned to throw him out.
"I'm not going to go with you and talk to Andrew, I really want to sleep." I threw it away smoothly. Don't want to fight with him.
"Please don't be mad at me."
"I'm not angry. Did you hear me yell at you." He finally left too.
I didn't want to cry in my room, so I sat in my hidden garden, crying there myself.
"Why you?" A voice made me look.
