The Girl of Rhein
Waiting for the answer part 1

Hazel is now in the park with Orlaf. The two of them were sitting while carrying ice cream in their hands.

"Hazel, why aren't you eating ice cream?"

Hazel shook her head slowly. "It's a shame to eat. It's funny."

"If you do not eat, it will melt and the same shape will change, even unfortunately to fall on the ground."

"But it's a pity if you eat."

Suddenly, with a quick movement, Orlaf's mouth said the ice cream was held by Hazel.

"Orlaf! Why are you eating?" Hazel looked surprised that her ice cream had changed its shape.

"Darling to fall to the ground. Kan, it's better to get inside my stomach." Hazel is a manyun. "don't want? Here I'll just eat."

"Don't! I'm gonna eat it." Hazel quickly devoured the ice cream until it was not left.

"So much better, Hazel. Do I want to buy it again?"

"No way, Aunt Kei will be angry if I eat a lot of ice cream before filling the food."

"If you or any of us have not told my mother."

Hazel laughed. "You seem to like it really bad. That's Orlaf's naughty deed.

Orlaf noticed Hazel's heartfelt and carefree laughter. Hazel finally stopped laughing because she felt Orlaf looking at her.

"Why stop? I love to see you laugh like that. Hazel, are you so happy here?"

"Of course I'm very happy here." Actually Hazel lied a little. He still had a sense of sadness when he remembered about Rhine.

Orlaf's hand gently rubbed Hazel's cheek. Hazel who got a soft touch from Orlaf was a bit surprised.

"Orlaf" said Hazel.

"I'm not being seduced or lying to you, Hazel. I've always been serious about something like this."

"Orlaf, you mean, you love me?"

"Of course, I'm in love with you."

Hazel was silent for a moment. He was still wondering if this Orlaf was not joking with him. "Orlaf, don't you joke?"

Orlaf smiled a little. "Do I look like I'm joking with you. I'm serious, Hazel. Don't you believe me?"

Hazel nodded quickly. "I still don't believe you because we're new to you and so quick if you say love to me. Orlaf, I don't deserve your love."

"Is this how you subtly reject me, Hazel?"

Hazel quickly shook her head. "Not rejecting you, it's just that I was really surprised by what you said. You don't know me very well."

"Then, please tell me something that makes you unworthy of me."

Hazel was silent for a moment. Confused where to start? About him who had fallen in love to dare to give up something valuable even though it was not too important there, but for a Hazel important.

"Hazel, why silence?"

"Orlaf, I used to fall in love with someone."

"You mean? It's not like you said you never had a relationship with any man."

"I fell in love with that man, but the man never had any feelings for me. He just gave me pain and I want to forget it."

Orlaf was silent for a moment. "Then, do you still love that guy?" Orlaf looked at Hazel seriously.
