Mr. Stegen: A Man with a Hidden Identity

The Escape of Ludwig Stegen

Northern Tyrol, Austria.

The smell of cow dung no longer made Ludwig Stegen feel nauseous. Almost two months, he spent his days working on a farm during his escape. There, the ranch owner and his co-worker Ludwig knew the man by the name of Heinz Lainer.

“Clean yourself after completing this job. Mr. Gunther wants you to face him, ” said a man, who is the foreman at the farm.

Ludwig, who was cleaning the cage, stopped his work for a moment. He looked, then nodded. As usual, the handsome man with ash grey hair color did not say much. He returned to the work that was being done, although the foreman was still there as if waiting for an answer from him.

“Do not forget,” order the foreman again, before finally choosing to leave

At about six in the afternoon, Ludwig had already cleaned himself up. With a makeshift appearance, a white singlet shirt covered in a short-sleeved shirt, the man entered the main building where the master lived. There, Gunther Lienhart was already waiting for his arrival.

“Heinz Lainer?” Gunther mentioned the pseudonym Ludwig, when the handsome German man was already standing before him.

“Yes, Sir,” said Ludwig with an expression that looks ordinary.

“There is something you want to do with you,” said Gunther, who replied with a faint nod from Ludwig. “You are recorded to have worked here for two months. However, I have not received your full data. I just heard that you're from Germany. The rest, I don't know. According to Roland, you always procrastinate when asked for complete personal data. Somehow you can directly work here?”

“I came in here on the recommendation of Markus Scalberg,” Ludwig replied.

“Who is he? I don't know him,” Gunther argued.

“What do you need, Mr?” ludwig asked flatly, after being silent for a while.

“Everything. I hope you are not a fugitive,” replied Gunther with a probing tone and gaze.

As much as possible, Ludwig hid an uncomfortable expression at the ranch owner's words. The cold look on his face turned tense. However, not long ago again looks ordinary. “Don't worry, Sir. I'm not a fugitive. I will immediately hand over the complete personal data to Roland.” Ludwig nodded again, then turned around with a suspicious look from Gunther.

Ludwig stepped valiantly down the fairly wide corridor, which connected Gunther's work space with another room. Along the corridor, there is a shady garden.

Just as Ludwig was passing through another part of the park, he saw a girl who was having trouble hooking a hanging pot rope.

Without thinking for a second, Ludwig approached. “Let me help,” said the man as he grabbed the pot rope. Ludwig's tall posture is firm, allowing him to grab the nail to hook the rope earlier.

“Thank you,” said the beautiful copper brunette girl, with glowing gray eyes. He looked at Ludwig with a shady look full of admiration.

The girl is Lilia Lienhart, Gunther's only daughter. Lilia had indeed paid more attention to Ludwig, from the first time they met. Moreover, because Lilia often checks into the farm.

Ludwig nodded faintly. He turned his body. However, just one step later, the handsome man turned back. “Do you know that tonight is a full moon night?” ask Ludwig. His words as well as his gaze implied many things, which looked different in Lilia's eyes.

“Yeah?” Lilia asked back.

“Look,” point Ludwig to the sky.

“Very good,” said Lilia accompanied by a look of admiration. He looked at the full moon for a moment, before turning to Ludwig who was certainly much more pleasant to look at.

“Padahan, we have provided mess for the workers. Why would you prefer to sleep here? Inside there is nothing but straw.” Lilia who had never talked directly with Ludwig, seemed to want to solve all her curiosity.

“Here is much quieter. I do not like the atmosphere is too noisy,” replied Ludwig. He turned to Lilia who was still staring at him.

“Although there is only a haystack, but it feels very comfortable. You who are used to being in a magnificent house with all the facilities are adequate, will certainly not believe if I say it.” Ludwig's gaze again looked unusual.

“I do not know, because almost never go there,” said Lilia. The girl let out a slow breath, then looked down in shame as Ludwig continued to look at her.

Ludwig did not respond immediately. For a moment, silence engulfed them. “I'm willing to show you,” Ludwig said later.

Lilia raised her face, then smiled sweetly. There were no words of rejection from the beautiful girl who always looked elegant and classy. He followed Ludwig into a barn with a size large enough.

Inside there, there is only a haystack that has been formed and neatly arranged. However, there are also those that are deliberately laid out under a mattress layered sheet of cloth. That's what Ludwig's bed is. Perhaps it will also be a place where the two lovebirds have completed their desires, after the two kiss very affectionately.

Lilia never thought that the man known by the name of Heinz, would answer all the admiration he had shown but never expressed. It felt like a dream, when he got the unusual treatment of such a handsome man.

Lilia was not lying on her luxurious bed. However, on that fabric-lined straw, he actually felt an incredible comfort that the girl had never gotten before

“I'll take you home,” said Ludwig helping Lilia get up.

“Not necessary. I can go home by myself,” reject Lilia while tidying up the bottom of her skirt. She also buttoned the top of the open dress.

“You sure it's okay?” ludwig asked, with a fixed look at the long-haired girl earlier

“Iya,” Lilia replied. He stood up for a moment while looking at Ludwig. “What have we done?” tanyanya could not believe it. However, the unrest emanating from the girl's spotlight slowly faded, as Ludwig again kissed her.

“I have to go home, before dad realizes that I am not in the room at a time like this.” Lilia rushed out of the barn.

“You sure you don't want me to drive?” ask Ludwig again.

Lilia was stunned, then turned her head. The beautiful girl shook her head slowly accompanied by a sweet smile. After that, he rushed away from there. Lilia ignored the discomfort in the core of her body. He only thought of having to be in the room immediately, before the father knew of his absence there.

After being inside the house, Lilia immediately took a quick step towards the room. He took off his shoes, so that the sound of his feet could not be heard. Lilia was able to breathe a sigh of relief, as the atmosphere of the house was already very quiet. Most of the main lights have been turned off.

“Thank you, God,” muttered the girl very slowly. He exhaled a sigh of relief while turning the doorknob slowly. Lilia walked in, then turned on the lights. Suddenly, the girl was surprised when she saw Gunther sitting quietly on the edge of the bed.
