Chapter 2: Glimpses of Unexpected future

~ Once Elena comes out from her thoughts of the sound of her daughter's innocent giggles not understanding the tension and turmoil in her mother's heart but Niva's giggles lighten the turmoil a little in Elena's heart.

She remembered she needed to go to the market to buy the groceries meat and other things to buy as Ethan mentioned last night few of his friends coming over for dinner.

She quickly dressed and went to the market with Niva in her arms.

She roams shop to shop buy essential things then she goes to the convenience shop.. after paying the money there , as Elena walks out from the store she hears a high pitched female voice as she follows the voice to see what's happening, she find a woman around her age or one two years difference probably from herself, walking out from the boutique opposite the convenience store she was coming out..as woman keep shouting with the man with her probably her husband or boyfriend Elena assume. The man looks close to Ethan age as well.

"Julian, seriously?you are buying this on our anniversary? It's so cheap.. maybe the lowest in the shop. " She resorted with disgust.

"Clara, calm down, please. we are on the streets. I am giving you the highest I could afford." The man tries to talk calmly

"Yeah, yeah, whatever that much penny you earn, it's better you didn't take me in this place. Just buy that cheapest dress from there," she throws her hands on the air.

The man looks down in embarrassment but doesn't raise his voice

"Clara, I will try to do better for you. ok, tell me what you want," the man said softly

"Yeah, as if you can buy that one for me, huh?"

She pointed out that one of the mannequins displays outside the prize shows 5000 dollars

"That middle floral dress"

"Clara, I don't have that much now, sorry," He said quietly

"Wow, if you can't, then why did you even say you will do better?" The woman snickered

The man reminded silent

"Let's go, you idiot.. if I bring my own card I could buy that.. you are just pathetic..if you weren't my dad's friends son I would never even glance at you just you look good that one thing you have a plus point..otherwise I could marry rich man who will match my standards of living" She said in a disgusting tone and start to walk away and the man followed her silently.

As they walked away, Elena watched the full scene unfold in front of her. She feels really bad for the man. But also she thinks herself even though she never talked like that with Ethan neither she think of but she couldn't help but compared herself with that man and thought:

"If I would ever talk like that with Ethan, he might probably lose it by now, but that man is so calm and handled it with patience when that woman is clearly disrespectful to him. Why is he even tolerating?"

As the question struck, she thought of herself she is tolerating Ethan's, too. Isn't she subconsciously finding similarities with that unknown man whom she never met before, or she doesn't know if she will personally?

While going back home, Elena kept thinking about everything unfolding in front of her about that couple she compares the situation as much as she saw in there. Never before she thought that deeply the situation but that man's calmness when that woman insults him like this. That something struck with Elena couldn't help but think about the man more and more she felt intrigued about him his personality. She couldn't understand why why she couldn't stop thinking about him

"He is just a stranger, right ?" She thought in herself
