This story just like other transmigration stories starts on earth. A lowly commoner of the commonest and lowliest birth, slim, dressed in tattered clothes, hair unkempt, eyes swollen is offloading goods from a truck to a shop.
But you would have expected to see that this man has given up but there is a bright light shining in his eyes and a slight smile on his face.
His name is Andrew, 21 years of age, have been working his ass off every day at different locations just to scrape by every day of his life, his parents died when he was at a young age but before his father died, his last words to him was that he should be rich and powerful. But it would seem those advice has fallen on empty ears cause he is still poor and reckless.
Humming along while discharging the load, it seems like he is working absentmindedly cause he almost hits his coworker with the load.
"Hey boy, watch where you are going, you almost killed me. Are you blind?", Screams the man who was advanced in age
'Why don't you just die man?', Andrew was annoyed cause he was jolted out of his daydreaming.
After offloading the loads from the truck, Andrew cleans up a bit before running along to his next workplace, a bar house to clean it up. It was almost nighttime before he was through with his job. Afterwards, he starts running along home cause he seems to be late for something. He is so poor he couldn't even afford to spare a change for a cab home and starts running off. For a man of this kind of stature and frame, you did think he would drop dead the next moment. But he seems to have unending energy from somewhere as he runs off for more than an hour to his residence deep in the slums, a skimpy and shaking house that seems to want to fall to even the slightest breeze but it still hasn't.
Opening up his apartment, he enters, takes his bath then he puts on the only set of nice clothes he has. A blue dull button-up shirt and plain trousers with scissors type of slippers.

The only expensive thing he did have in this house would be the 10cents perfume he just newly bought which he used sparingly to make sure he has a nice scent.
Seems all ready for the night, without having a meal he sets out to leave his house. Arrives at a shaken-down house in his neighbourhood, knocks on the door and was yelled at, "Stop banging that hard, do you want to break down the door?", an advanced woman came out and while noticing it's Andrew at the door, frowns at first, "Oh, it's you", then went back in after which whispers could be heard now and then coming from inside the house. If he had just pressed his ears on the door, he would have been able to make out what was being said, but he avoids performing such an act.
'Seems like her father isn't around, sighs Andrew in relief. A young woman comes out of the house dressed up in a dark blue gown. Although the gown may seem ordinary, she still glows like the whole world is made just for her. She has the perfect shape and every part of her body seems to be of the right proportion that just a little bit more of any part would affect her beauty.
Seeing her, Andrew's eyes brightens up the more and you could see a wide and foolish smile on his face. He says to the girl, "You look way more stunning than ever Audrey", the young woman whom he called Audrey smiles at him in a very sweet manner and that smile melts his heart.
He met Audrey like every typical movie love story, he was walking down home from work late in the night, his eyes swollen and he was tired of all the hard work just wishing for the day he did die and let go of it all. Audrey was running down home also, seems she was late from the market. She gets lost easily and was clumsy although she grew up in the slums, she was even led out of the market. Not the kind of person you did expect to come from the slum. She called out to him smilingly wanting to ask for directions and that voice and smile have been his saviour since then.
Got to be friends since that day, have been meeting each other since then and fell in love. They have been together for three years now having some lovely, sweet and romantic times. It did almost seem like they were made for each other as they reincarnated into this life and they had a crazy vow in their previous lives to always be together.
"Andy, you are zoning out again. You are about to drool", said Audrey shying. Although she has seen Andrew react to her smile like this countless number of times she just can't seem to be used to the look he always gives her when he was this way.
Her words jolt Andrew out of his fantasy. Blushing and nervously scratching his head, he says lowly albeit audible to Audrey, "Your smile always makes me feel like am at peace. Can't get enough of seeing your face".
