Chapter 8

Hana slammed her hands on the table and sat down, scaring the boy who was resting on his seat.

He looked at her eyes, she was calm and serious, yet it seemed as if she was trying too hard to hold in a big smile.

"How can I help you?" he said and smiled awkwardly.

"Hello stranger. Actually, I have seen you so many times but we are still strangers"

The boy lowered his eyesbrows, looking confused.

"I know you are staring at me from the moment I stepped in this cafe. I know you will follow me after I leave and that you will try to save me from some bad guys and fail"

Her voice's tone went from calm and cute to a strict one.

"Because you failed everytime. It is alright though, I don't know why you would do something like this in the first place. I wouldn't risk my life for someone I don't know"

"What are you talk-" He tried to interrupt her but she did instead.

"Everytime I die I go back in time , it will happen in a couple of minutes from now and you will probably die too!" She streched her hands and waved.
"But don't worry! I will bring you back and you won't even remember this conversation, I will be sitting right there" the girl pointed to the seat next to her friend.

It seemed like he wasn't understanding what she was saying, was she crazy?

Her expression changed again.
"I think I am kinda used to it! It's not that I want to die, I don't like it either but it happened so many times, I guess I should just accept my fate, right?"

The boy seemed still confused.

"This gotta be the 34th time I think , if I am not missing something, two more minutes and the guys will burst inside here with their guns, you just wait"

She stopped talking and looked at the boy with a serious expression, waiting for his reaction.

"Hahahahaha!!"

He started laughing very loud, hitting his hand on the table again and again while hugging  his stomach with the other one.
"What are you talking about! Hahaha!" it seemed like nobody could stop him.

"Hehe.. I know what you will be probably thinking. I am crazy right?"

Hana felt embarrassed and got up.

"I don't know what I was expecting when I came here from the very start actually. Good bye" she said and turned her back to return to her table.

"Wrong"

The boy stopped laughing all of the sudden and slammed his hand on the table.  The sound of it made her freeze.

"The 34th time you said?"

She turned around and looked at him. He was leaning on the table as if he got dizzy and was trying to hold himself from falling.
His eyes turned red making tears on them to show up, he bit both of his lips and lowered his eyebrows once again.

"No" he whispered

"That's the 87th"
