Searching For You 153 Knows Everything About Her

Hli Ja furrowed her brows and asked, "What are you scheming?" She tried reading Mua Kong while she asked him questions. She wanted to know what kind of person he really is, how much of a threat her posed for her brother and country.

"Nothing, just taking back what was originally mine." Mua Kong replied while gazing at her, who was supposed to be by his side.

She darted her eyes to avoid Mua Kong's intense gaze. What originally belongs to him? What is he implying? He couldn't possibly mean me? Although, I don't remember my past self, I should have a life prior to the palace. Her heart pounds, she nervously asked something she wanted to avoid if possible, "Do you know me?"

Mua Kong's eyes softens while his gaze intensified. He stares at her for a moment before replying, "Everything." He knows so much about her, her behaviors, her ways of thinking, the width of her shoulders and length down her arms, beautiful shape of her neck to her collarbones, the tenderness of her delicate fingers, every molds and marks on her skin, and the warmth of her hugs. He could go on forever describing how much he knows about her.

"Wh... what is that mean?" Hli Ja asked nervously unsure if she wanted to know the answer to that.

"What do you want to know? Every molds and marks on your skin? The shape and contours of your body? Or…"

"Ahhh! Ahh..! Stop stop!" Hli Ja shouted about to jump up from her seat. She couldn't bear the thought of what he was going to say.

Mua Kong noticed what she was going to do next. He lunged upward a little to pull her down so she doesn't hit her head on the carriage ceiling. His pulling grip caused Hli Ja to lose her footing, making her landed onto the seat she was laying down earlier causing Mua Kong to fall on top of her.

Since a year ago, when she came to, she did not feel comfortable being near any man but why is it that her body felt so comfortable with the stranger man on top of her? Could she trust his words? Were they lovers?

Mua Kong studied every inch and nooks of the woman he loves so dearly. It has been so long since he's been this close to her and see her up close. How he misses the times they made love, the time he cuddled her all night long and all the times she reciprocated those feelings back to him. Just as he was about to lose to his emotions and leaned in closer, Hli Ja pushed him off her. Although she didn't have enough strength to push him off completely, it was enough force to bring him back from losing his senses. He slowly pushed himself off her without taking his eyes away from her.

Hli Ja turned her head away to avoid facing him as she pulled the blanket to cover her chest again, "I... I don't trust you yet." Her heart was pounding, heatwave rushed through her body as if her body yearns for him like it has a mind of its own.

Those words spoken by Hli Ja felt like multiple arrows pierced through Mua Kong's heart. Because of what she went through, she probably doesn't trust him anymore, but the Hli Ja who lost her memory of him still doesn't trust him, causing the pain he felt to double. He will do whatever it takes to slowly gain her trust back and will not do anything that would sabotage her trust for him.

Late evening when they reach a town on their way and decided to stop for the night. Mua Kong wants to let Hli Ja rest properly on a bed instead in the carriage on the rough road. The carriage guards pulled up into an inn. When the carriage stops, Mua Kong got out and waited to a.s.sist Hli Ja out of the carriage. He held onto her hand and led her inside not giving her the opportunity to escape from him. The inn owner led them to a room. Before the owner left, Mua Kong also ordered some foods be brought in for dinner.

After the owner left, Hli Ja shook her hand off Mua Kong's grip, "I can walk by myself. I won't run away." She knew that she is not skilled enough to escape him so she will not attempt when he is meters away from her. Plus, a part of her is also curious to know who she was prior to being found by her brother. Hli Ja walked inside to the room and sat on the bed while Mua Kong followed her inside to sit by the table.

Not long later, a server brought in dinner. The server sat the food on the table by where Mua Kong was sitting. After the server left, he called Hli Ja to go over to the table to eat.

It has been a while since she last ate so she reluctantly walked over to the table. Mua Kong scooped a couple spoonful of each dishes onto her plate. "Ahh... stop, stop, I can get it myself." Hli Ja yelled. The couple ate dinner and after some times, the server came back to pick up the empty dishes.

Mua Kong handed the tray to the server and went back to the room. Based on his action, Hli Ja could guess that he planned spending the night in the same room as her.
