It's a wonderful Sunday afternoon. I sat beside the huge window of the coffee house and looked at the beautiful park. I saw lots of couple were there. They were cycling around the park, fooling around. I thought of him. The person I will never forget. I cried. I cried every time when I thought of him.
He told me, he cant get over what he had went through. He doesn't want me to be a replacement. He doesn't want to cried out the wrong name every time when he wanted to call my name. He doesn't want to bring me to places that I don't like but she likes. He doesn't want me to fake everything out. He wants me to tell him how sick is it every time when he cried out her name instead of mine. He wants me to tell him how much I hate the beach. He wants me to be me. The girl who loves staying at home. The girl who loves to read. But not the girl who is outgoing that loves to club.
After that night, I gave up. In some other words, I am tired of all these. However, I miss those days. Sometimes, I wonder, why cant I just fake everything out to make him happy and loves me? I wonder, what is wrong with me? After so many years, he still cant get rid of them. Am I that horrible?
"knock... knock.."
The sound of someone knocked the window beside me bought me back to the reality. I was stoned by looking at the person. He smiled at me.
Who was it?
A. Her ex-boy friend
B. Another good looking eye candy
C. A little boy with a puppy
D. A person that she knows
It really depends on you. Because I don't know which should I choose. =)

Through The Years
She looked at her hot cappuccino and she thought of what happened to her when she was still in college.
"Am I that wrong?" cried a girl to a man
He didnt answered her but looked at her in away that telling the world how wrong was that girl.
"I just want a chance to explain myself." said the girl with tears on her cheeks
The man remained speechless.
"I didnt ask sorta things from you before. I didnt ask for a credit card. That a present from you to me for my birthday. I didnt ask for a trip to Paris. You asked me to go and told me it's a surprise. I didnt ask for a brand new cellphone. You gave it to me. I am with you not because of money!" She explained
"How can you think that I am a person who be with you just because of your money? Who do you think you are? I don't need a Penny from you. You are a successful in your career I am happy for you but it's none of my business. My dad might not be as rich as you but still I am not like I need your money to continue my living!"
Again he remained speechless
She looked at him helplessly and said:
"What do you want from me? I tried my best to be what you want because I love you. Why are you doing this to me?" She walked away
_____________________________________________
"How stupid was me explaining myself to such a jerk?" She said to herself
She was shocked by what she saw. It's him. The person she just thought of. After so many years, he is still buying coffee from this particular Starbucks and still the same. He will take away his coffee every weekdays before he starts his day.
He didnt notice her and he walked out the coffeshop.
She felt that he cheeks were wet. She knew how much she miss him though this years. The time he helped her out in her last presentation and he gave her the credit card that has their pictures on it. He told her, he spent thousands for that card. He wants her to remember him everytime she used that card. She remember she was so happy and kissed his cheek in front of everyone. She is happy not because of he gave her the credit card but the credit card with their faces on it.
"Sorry I think I left my documents." He walked into the coffee shop again and told one of the staff there.
"What document was that?" asked the staff
"Erm.. should be a piece of paper with a pink heart shaped paperclip." he answered and looking around and he scan around the coffe shop.
"Oh. Miss it's my document." He said and he stoned.
"Oh." She passed it to him and smiled
"Zoe?" He asked softly
"Yes. Is me. The person who robbed you." She joked
"You grew up. you are a pretty women now." He said
"I used to be ugly?" She asked
"No, but you used to be a pretty girl" He said
"That paper clip." She pointed at the pink paper clip. That's what she made for him in her craft class.
He remained speechless for a while and he said "I am out of paper clips."
"A piece of paper doesnt need a paper clip." She said and had sip of her coffee
He didnt answer her but stared at her, and his phone rang.
"Hello." He said "Hey I will be back to the office at 12pm. I have some personal stuff to settle." and he hang up and stared at her again
"Charles, you are not going to stared at me for the whole day." she said "Sit down and you can settle your personal stuff, which is really personal."
"So how are you doing these days?" he asked.
"Go straight to the point. you are not a person that ask a bunch of stupid question before the main question." She teased him "You told me. You dont need an introduction but a good body."
She has to admit she learned a lot from him. He was an extremely intelligent person.
"I dont know what to ask." He said
"Then let me ask." She said "are you married?"
"No. Why will you thought of that?" He said
"You are not young." She said
"So are you?" He asked
"No." She answered and looked at him "Girlfriends?"
"No." He answered "You?"
"I am not a lesbian." She said
"Boyfriend I mean."
"None of your business."
"I want to know"
"Why? I am just a robbery."
"...."
"So you still do think that?"
"....." He made she heart broke into pieces. He still doesnt trust her.
"I thought... never mind. Forget it. I got to go." she rose form her chair
"Hey, mayb we should try on something." He said
"Like what?" She said and tears were on her cheeks
"Dont cry." he kissed her tears away and said "Let's backpack to Cambodia."
"Backpack!?" She was shocked "NO! you must be crazy."
"Why not?"
"You wanna prove that I am not a robbery? For god sake, I don't want to backpack to anywhere. Backpacking is not my cup of tea."
"......" He looked at her helplessly
"Since when you became an idiot?" She asked
"How about let's go Millan?" He teased her
"I have an idea. Since you dont trust. We go Milan and we stay in a decent hotel. And we limited our self only use a certain amount of money per-day. Smart eh?"
"You always thought of something expensive but sounds cheap." he smiled and kissed her forehead.
"Because I consider about you. You are too old for backpacking." She smiled
"You are still the same."
"Same? No I am not. I dont have a successful and good looking boy friend anymore."
"But a successful and good looking old man is trying to woo you. isnt that interesting?"
"Sounds cool. When he died i can inherit all his money." She said
"Then you have to think of a plan to kill him on the wedding night."
"Wedding? I thought he is just trying to woo me?"
"Because someone told him at his age he should be married."
"Is it? Should I thank that person?"
"No before you killed the old man."
"But I find that, the old man is very interesting. I think i am in love with him. I dont feel like killing him."
"Then love him." He whispered to her.
P/s: 1.Why Zoe? I am running out of names. (something that only momoko knows.)
2. I find that adding colors on the converstation is easier to read (like what momoko did). copy cat a bit lah...

resemblance
"Vanilla Latte, venti. Please."
"okay. Anything else for you miss?"
"Hmm.. With this cherry lollipop. please."
"okay. That will be a total of 13 Dollar and 40 cents.Please collect your coffee there in a short while. Thank you."
"Thanks."
"Good morning, Sir. Can I help you?"
As I approach to the other side, suddenly there's a very familiar scent around the atmosphere.
"Vanilla Latte, Venti and erm.. slice of Blueberry cheesecake... Please."
I stopped and turned back. I couldn't help but to stop and stare at the gentlemen because I couldn't believe there is actually someone who look so alike. From his scent, his dressing, his hair and the way he order his meal. He reminds me everything of you.
He must have felt my stare and turned to me.
"Good morning. It's a lovely day to start with a cup of Vanilla Latte isn't it?"
"Good morning, well yes."
"Miss, your vanilla latte is ready." said the waiter
"Oh, erm. I have to make a move. Enjoy your breakfast. Bye."
I couldn't believe that all of our memories actually flashing in my mind.
"I saw you talking to that hot gentlemen there. Interested?"
"You must be joking, Claire. Come on let's go."
"Well, then Why are you staring at him. I saw that, don't you deny."
"Who said I'm going to deny. Well, that's because he have a resemblance to someone I know... for long time."
"Maybe that's the person you know?"
"Absolutely not. he's not a white."
"Ahh, so it's him? You still miss him, don't you?"
"..."
I gave her an uncertain smile and take a sip of my coffee. We had not contacting each other for 8 years and I wonder where and How is he now. Do I miss him? I don't even dare to ask. But I asked myself today. You still miss him? The answer is
"Claire. You know what?"
"yea?"
"I miss him a lot but I don't want him back."
note: The story is inspired by my cousin. =)
_____________________________________________
This is another version of ending for cindy:
I gave her an uncertain smile and take a sip of my coffee. We had not contacting each other for 8 years and I wonder where and How is he now. I've done too much thinking and couldn't help it. Do I miss him? I don't even dare to ask. But I asked myself today. You still miss him? I finally get the answer
"Claire.."
"yea?"
"I miss him a lot and there's no one to replace him."
people, please give feedback on which ending you prefer yea? =)

Turn back
"Don't touch me." She said harshly without turning back her head
"You are so rude Lexie" He said and sat down the chair beside her
"Keep quiet" She felt annoyed when he started to talk
"Fine!" He said
7 years ago they were a pair of couple. No ones know that they were together, people used to think that they were best friends.
"Lexie can you come here for a moment?" A women cried and Lexie walked over without looking at him.
He looked at her and he thought how pretty was she? A small heart shaped face, fair skin and huge eyes. He smiled and thought how stupid was he to left her. He was only 31 and she was 19 when they broke off. He still remember the little girl who used to woo him by using lots of stupid and hilarious method. Such as lying to him that she was in an car accident, waited for him the cafe for few hours just wanted to bump into him. 7 years? Time is really flying.he is 38 now and the little girl in front of him is not a little girl anymore she is a women, a beautiful and attractive women.
"What are you doing here?" She asked
"Lance!" She cried
"What?" He was shocked.
"What were you thinking?" She asked
"Nothing." He replied
"What are you doing here?" She asked again
"Chilling?" He is here because he wanted to see her!
"CHILLING?" She asked and widen her eyes
"....." He didn't answer
"You know what? I am busy." She said coldly
"Lexie, we have to talk." He said
"About what?" What do he still want to talk about? About how much he loves the girl before they started a relationship? Or he felt so sorry, he wants her to forgive him? Or he is too mature for her, he hope she understands? Why is he coming back into her life? It has been 7 years after the broke off. She is happy with her life now. She has a boyfriend which is loyal and cute. Why?
"About us." He said calmly
"No. Lance I am sorry. No." She bagged "Please, is not a need. I am happy with my life now."
"Why? Give me a chance please!"
"NO! I say no means no! Is enough! I don't want to have a wonderful boy friend like you. No!" He was so wonderful. She remembered the first time they met, she was melted by his charming smile. He was so handsome and tall. He eyes was so amazing, she can feel that they were actually communicating with her. Besides that, he was so successful in his business. He is just wonderful!
"Lexie please. Just one more."
"No! Don't you know that I am in a serious relationship right now? You know him, don't you? Please give me a break." She said and she felt that her cheeks were wet by her tears
He didn't say anything in fact he hugged her
"Go away please. I don't wan to be hurt again. It really hurted when you told me how important was her. Please, leave me alone." She bagged
"Listen. I was wrong. I didn't realise how much I love you."
"NO! Please. You just felt annoyed when you noticed that I am getting married with Thomas soon."
"....." He didn't reply anything he kissed her forehead and he said "Lexie, I am not going to lose you again. I admit I realised how important was you when you told me you are marrying to that Thomas soon. But I used to tell you I want our relationship back don't you remember? Just that you thought I was joking. And I thought that You wont be marrying him!"
"I am not going to talk about this now. You go home and rest and think about it okay? " He said and he left
____________________________________________________
"We were happy?" She asked her self.
She was sitting in a swing and thinking of what they used to do in the weekends. He used to fetch her with his bicycle every morning to the bakery to have their breakfast. How sweet was it? She turned around and she saw Lance sitting on a bench alone and smoking. He seems to be very lonely and sad. Is it because of her? She laughed herself being stupid. How can it because of her? He is so perfect. He can get any women he wants. She was just a nobody to him. He wanted her back just because he felt annoyed to lose.
____________________________________________________
It has been 3 months after she saw him in the children's playground. She call the wedding off after that night. She doesn't want to be married while she was still thinking of another person. She has to admit how much she was in love with him. Although it has been 7 years. However she still can felt the pain every time she saw him.
"Lexie, Lance is here." A women said
"Oh please send him in." Perhaps she should just face him neutrally. Instead of asking him to leave every time he comes.
"Hey." She greeted
"Hey." He said
"I called the wedding off."
"Yea. I know" And he smiled
"You are such an evil." She said
"Thomas came to me yesterday." He said "He asked me why did you call the wedding off."
"Oh so what did you said?" She can sensed he told him something evil
"What do you think?" He asked
"Something evil i suppose."
"I told him, you thought that he is a gay." and laughed aloud
"What the hell!? Are you mad?" She asked and she laughed
She have to say it's funny!
"Yea, madly in love with you."
"How could you tell him that!? You hurt him you know?" She asked
"Yea, he was really shocked and he looked at me like WHAT!?." he laughed again
"Oh My God." She said
"Yes are you looking for me? I am your god." He said
"Is not funny." She said
They silent for a few seconds
"I thought you will scold me and ask me to leave." He said
"I wanted to, but isn't that pointless? Which I know Mrs.Wendy will still let you in?"
"Yea." He drank her coffee
"That's mine!" She said
"I don't mind."
"I mind. Of course you don't it is not yours."
"You should thank me."
"Why should I? Thank you for telling Thomas I thought he was a gay or what?"
"If we didn't broke off, you wont be so successful in your career." He said
"Ha..Ha.." Although she sounds like doesn't agree with him but she knows it's true
"This is for you." He gave her a box.
"A ring? Oh please!" She threw it back to him
"Why? Since now you are single. And I am single too." He said
"So many people out there are single? You suppose me to marry all of them?"
"You can if it is legal..." He said
"You know what? Get lost!" She said
"No.. Come with me I show you something." He said
"NO! Go away!"
"I will go if you come along."
"No!!! Don't you get it? I don't like you!"
"Oh please. trying to lie in front of me?"
"Where will you be bringing me?"
"Somewhere fun?" He raised his eyebrow
"Fun? How fun?"
"Just come!" He ordered
______________________________________________________
"Lexie." He said
"Yes?"
"What was the thing you wanted the most while you was 19?" He knows it's him
"Money?" She doesn't wan to tell the truth
"I am thinking of giving something you wanted the most at that moment."
"Oh really?" Bullshit
"Lexie. I love you." He said "I know I yelled at you that day. However did I say that I love her? No! I didn't. You are the one who thought of it. "
"I am too young for you." She said
"Is it?" He asked "I remember once someone told me age doesn't matter her at all."
"It's matter me now."
"Are you really so in love with Thomas?" He asked and he stopped his car at the road side
"No." She said "Just that I haven't found the right one"
"Look at me!" He said "I am tired and too old for all this chasing, Lexie please. Give me a chance."
She didn't answered
"Please..." He sounded very helpless. He doesn't know what else can he do.
"Old man listen." She said "If you want a chance? Make me feel like is worth to give you one!"
"How?" He is really too old for this
She stared at him and said "depends on a expensive way or a cheap way."
"Which one is easier?"
"Expensive" Money can solve everything right?
"How?" Can't she just tell?
"You expect me to plan it and just send the bill to you?" She asked
"It will be lovely of you could do that." He said "Or you want a credit card?" Will that be easier?
"I give up." She said "Give me that bloody ring!"
He passed her the ring and he said
"Do I look like that stupid?" He asked "I am going to make you feel like is worth to give me everything." He kissed her ears and continue.
"I am bringing you to Paris." He smiled
"You are so rude Lexie" He said and sat down the chair beside her
"Keep quiet" She felt annoyed when he started to talk
"Fine!" He said
7 years ago they were a pair of couple. No ones know that they were together, people used to think that they were best friends.

"I will go if you come along."
"No!!! Don't you get it? I don't like you!"
"Oh please. trying to lie in front of me?"
"Where will you be bringing me?"
"Somewhere fun?" He raised his eyebrow
"Fun? How fun?"
"Just come!" He ordered
______________________________________________________
"Lexie." He said
"Yes?"
"What was the thing you wanted the most while you was 19?" He knows it's him
"Money?" She doesn't wan to tell the truth
"I am thinking of giving something you wanted the most at that moment."
"Oh really?" Bullshit
"Lexie. I love you." He said "I know I yelled at you that day. However did I say that I love her? No! I didn't. You are the one who thought of it. "
"I am too young for you." She said
"Is it?" He asked "I remember once someone told me age doesn't matter her at all."
"It's matter me now."
"Are you really so in love with Thomas?" He asked and he stopped his car at the road side
"No." She said "Just that I haven't found the right one"
"Look at me!" He said "I am tired and too old for all this chasing, Lexie please. Give me a chance."
She didn't answered
"Please..." He sounded very helpless. He doesn't know what else can he do.
"Old man listen." She said "If you want a chance? Make me feel like is worth to give you one!"
"How?" He is really too old for this
She stared at him and said "depends on a expensive way or a cheap way."
"Which one is easier?"
"Expensive" Money can solve everything right?
"How?" Can't she just tell?
"You expect me to plan it and just send the bill to you?" She asked
"It will be lovely of you could do that." He said "Or you want a credit card?" Will that be easier?
"I give up." She said "Give me that bloody ring!"
He passed her the ring and he said
"Do I look like that stupid?" He asked "I am going to make you feel like is worth to give me everything." He kissed her ears and continue.
"I am bringing you to Paris." He smiled

Birthday Story
"I am leaving now." Said a lady "Oh by the way, Happy Birthday."
"Birthday!?" The man was shock and looked at the calendar in front of him and he smiled "I glad you remember that. I almost forgot about it."
"It's your birthday boss." Said the lady while she is arranging the file on his table.
"Aha.. Birthday." He tease himself
"Yea. It's your Birthday." She said "I am leaving now, I have to pick up my son from his tuition class."
"Oh right, Bye." He said and he lighted his cigarette.
"Birthday!? You must be kidding." He told him self. He looked at his watch "Maybe I should go for a walk."
________________________________________________________
Night market is an event happens once or twice a week in most South-East Asia countries. This is a place that people used to sell vegetables, food and some cheap stuff like clothes and even plants.
"Hey, I would like to have a packet of Sugarcane juice." He said to the old man who is selling
He felt that someone was looking at him and he looked around and he found a very lovely girl is staring at him in a way that no one stared at him before. He gave her a very heart melting smile and turned away.
"Oh My God! Look at him! He made me melt." She told herself. It was so packed in the night market she wanted to walk to him and greet but she failed. He left before she reach him. This was the first time she wanted to go for someone she adores. She used to just look and do no action but this time it was different.
"Who was that girl?" He asked himself while he was driving. He wonder do he knows her? He cant stop wondering who was she and why was she staring at him in such a different way. Her huge eyes and pale look just cant get off of his mind. He thought of her every moment, she was like something and someone that means something to him.
"Sir..SIR!" The baristas cried.
"Yea!?" He was thinking of her again!
"Your coffee is ready." The baristas said
"Oh thank you." he grabbed the coffee and a girl cried
"Hey! That's mine."
"Oh!" Now he noticed it wasn't the hot latte he ordered but it was something cold "I am so sorry! I didn't notice that it was Iced..." He was stoned when he saw the girl who cried. Now he can see her clearly. How lovely was her. Her huge eyes on her tiny heart shaped face.
"Oh My God! It is you!" She cried "Oh you probably don't remember me ..."
"No, I do remember you." He said before she finish her line
"Oh..." She was shocked by his words. What!? He remember me!? He actually remember me!? Since today was her birthday, does this consider a present from the god?
"So, what are you doing in the shopping mall so early in the morning?" He asked after a few seconds of silent.
"Oh my college is just beside the mall." She answered "Oh! I am going to be late! I got to go. You know what? Maybe we can catch up tomorrow at the same time." and she rushed away
__________________________________________________________
"You look happy today, boss." Said the lady "Or I should say you look delight"
"Oh Really?" He smiled "So who is dying today?"
"Doctor there is an emergency coming in two minutes." Said a nurse walked into his office
He didn't not answer a word, he quickly wore his white doctor's coat and rush to the ER(emergency room).
"A pregnant women, aged 37." Said the nurse while they are rushing to the ER
"37!? What a dangerous age to have a baby!" He said
"Okay people, it's showtime." He said
"Her water is broken" Said the nurse
"Well, lets do it." He said "Okay you will be just fine. you baby will be coming out now. All you have to do is lie back and push."
"OK now push whenever you are ready." He said "Push... push...push.. that's it... push..you are doing great.. push...OK now one final push and that's it!" He carried the baby and he said again "Oh it's a baby boy."
"Doctor, there is another emergency in room 4." Said the nurse, he quickly passed the baby boy to another doctor and rush to another room.
"You know what? I am kinda tired working in the ER." He said while he is in a surgery.
"This is life man!" Said the other surgeon. "Guess what? I threw 25 shirts and 3 pants yesterday."
"Oh I haven't pack mine." He replied
"Why do you throw it?" Asked a trainee.
"Because it all stained with blood!" The surgeon said "You know it's really sick when you changed from the ugly green surgery clothe to your owns and ready to go home and Emergencies came and you have to do everything with your own clothes."
"Yea.. I know." He said "That day a old women puked blood on my brad new Emporio Armani. I was like what the hell!"
"Okay we are done here." The surgeon said "Let's go for coffee"
"Lovely!" He answered "You*pointing at the trainee*, clear up this mess, as you know we are going for coffee"
"Dude don't feel sad." Said the surgeon "When we were a trainee those old hacks did that to us too."
______________________________________________________
"Iced Mocha please" She said to the cashier
"Hot Latte please" He said right after she ordered
"One bill?" Asked the cashier
"Yes" He answered
"Oh no!" She defended
"No make it one bill." He said "Let me buy you a cup of coffee"
"Oh I don't know it was you."She turned back and she saw his handsome face
"Is okay. So are you rushing today?" He asked
"No."
"Then please sit, I have a question that i would like to ask you."
"What?"
"That day in the night market. Why did stare at me that way?" He asked
"Oww... Do I have to answer that?" her cheek blushed
"Oh of course"
"I don't know. Maybe because you were too attractive"
"Were?"
"Oh No, you are still attractive now."
"Is it?"
"Yea of course" She said quickly
His phone rang and he said
"I got to go now. May be I can buy you something more than a cup of coffee tomorrow." he smiled and walked away
p/s I just wanna say Xinyi, happy bday!
"Birthday!?" The man was shock and looked at the calendar in front of him and he smiled "I glad you remember that. I almost forgot about it."

Love is not Impossible
She was looking at the ceiling of her room. Her brain was so blank,
"Am I awake yet!?" She asked herself "Do I have class today?" She was so puzzled by her college timetable. The timetable of her current semester is a totally mess. Everyday when she wakes up, she have to think did she wake up in the right time, or is she late for class. She couldn't forget once she thought that she was late and she rushed to the bathroom and only she remember she has no class on that particular day.
She walked in to the kitchen with a knee length shorts and a T-shirt. She saw a man was sitting in the kitchen with a laptop. She ignored him and poured herself a cup of plain water.
"Morning." He greeted with his deep and sexy voice without looking at her.
"Morning." She said dully.
She sat down on the chair that opposite him and stared at him for a few seconds.
Finally he raised his head and asked "May I help you?"
"Breakfast?" She asked
"Aren't you schooling today?" He asked
"I suppose I am not." She answered
"What do you mean by you suppose? Shouldn't you be sure of that?" He asked with a wicked smile
"You know why!" She said
"Alright then." He answered
He is one of the people that worked in her house. They were having a project, and they rent her house for 3 months.
She likes him a lot when the first day she saw him. He captured her with his pair of huge pupils and his thin and sexy lips. However, she knows, it's impossible for both of them to start a relationship. They were different kinda of people, they are just like a chicken and a duck which both are in the bird family but they are different. He is from somewhere she have no idea about it, he is a mature man which is very different from her. She is a girl that is still curious about the world, a girl who still in college.
________________________________________________
As usual she wanted to walk into the kitchen and assuming he will be sitting there alone but she saw something different. A very sexy and attractive women was sitting beside him. They looks like a pair of couple. She was so sad and she didnt walk into the kitchen instead she walk back to her room.
"Why am I so stupid!?" She asked herself "I should know this will be happened." She didnt cry but instead she changed her clothes and went to a cafe that located in a hospital that near her college. That cafe was a place for her to hide herself from others when she is sad or busy.
After that day, she started to avoid him. She doesn't wants to be hurt anymore. Everytime she see him, she felt the pain.
"Hey." He greeted when he saw her wearing shoes preparing to go college
"Hi." She acted like nothing happened.
"Hey." He repeated again
"Yea. What's up?" She asked. Please get away from her.
"Erm, I though you don't have morning class today." He said dully
"........." She didnt answered instead she walked away
He couldn't explain the feeling when she just walked away without an answer. He felt very unhappy but who is she to him? She is just a little girl right? Love!? No, no, no! It will be madness if he is in love with such a young girl.
"Ouch!" She cried when a person knocked her down
"Oh I am sorry." He apologized.
"Oh god! My work." She cried
"Oh My God." He was so scared when he saw more than 500 pieces of paper are all over the floor.
"Hey, I don't mean to knocked you down. I was..." He tried to explain
"Is okay." She kneel down and pick the papers up.
"No, let me help you." He kneel down too
"No. Is really ok." She rejected his offer
"Why!?" He asked "What is wrong with you these days?"
"Nothing is wrong. Just that I think I can handle this by myself." She answered
"By yourself!? Don't be crazy!" He cried
She threw all the paper she picked up and said "Since you like to help that much. Pick everything up and rearrange it!" After saying that she walked up to her room.
She was so tired, she bathed and she forgotten everything. She felt asleep until midnight she went to the kitchen for some water and she saw him sitting on the hall alone arranging the papers. She felt so guilty and walked to him
"You know what!? Actually this paper are not important. Leave it to me." She said softly. Her heart was broke when she saw how tired was he, the red veins on his eyes and yet he still arranging the papers.
He didnt answer instead he asked "What is wrong with you these days?"
She didnt answer, she rose and walked to the kitchen. She tears were on her cheeks, she doesn't know how to answer him.
"Why are you crying? Please tell me what had I done" He said
"Is not your fault. Sorry." She said
"No tell me. I want to know!" He cried
"Is me! I am dumb I am in love with you." She said "I know is impossible for us to be together. I am just dumb. Please get away from me."
He was stoned for a few seconds and he hugged her and he whispered
"Why is it impossible?" Actually he knew why she thought of that, because they are different.
"........." She was silent
"I thought of that too. However, we just have to cop with it my dear." He whispered
"I don't know" She said
He kissed her forehead and whispered again
"Go to bed and let me finish the papers. Okay?" He said
"No, Those paper I bought back wanted to send to the recycle center. Is not a need to arrange it." She said
"What!?" He stared at her
"I thought you will ignore me. I didnt know that you actually...." She said "Oh please don't be mad. I was so angry of myself just now."
"You silly girl. Do you know how tired was me?" He asked
"I know. I felt like my heart was broken when I saw you alone in the hall." She said
"Yea.. You should. I am tired now. And no point for me to leave now. I think I have to sleep at your hall." He said
"I guess so. You need blanket?" She asked
"Yea. "
She took a blanket for him and he said
"I know what you saw that day, she is just my client." He said
"Oh.. I didnt see anything." She lied
"You saw because I saw you" He said and he smiled
"Am I awake yet!?" She asked herself "Do I have class today?" She was so puzzled by her college timetable. The timetable of her current semester is a totally mess. Everyday when she wakes up, she have to think did she wake up in the right time, or is she late for class.

The Dark Angel
I am at the roof top of the hospital, feeling the cool breeze, watching the busy city. The bright neons lighting everywhere, the sky scrappers filling the whole city, cars non-stop moving, everything seems to be so alive, except me.
"I'm sorry, Miss Belle. I have to tell you it's a bad news. You have got a tumour on your brain. A big one. And I'm afraid that you can't live more than 6 months." The doctor's dianogsis when I first admitted to the hospital three months ago due to sudden faint kept repeating in my head.
Why me? This is my 1st reaction. That's me. This is how i accepted everything after months.
With no relatives and closed friends, i can only rely on my boyfriend, Evan. I am so pleasant that he didn't walk away from me when he knew this. In fact, he's the one to make me felt more better. I am a burden for him.
Tomorrow afternoon, i am going to lay on the operation bed, the first and last operation which will determine my life. "The success percentage of this operation is 50% and you have to decide whether to take a bet or not." It was Evan who make the decision for me of the operation. I was very inconfident. Not a bit at all. Nevertheless, the operation will consume a large sum of money which may use up all of Evan's saving. I am very thankful for what he had done for me for the past few months and i think i shouldn't grave more to him which this operation doesn't fully guarantee a live for me.
I have a notion. I wanted to end my life faster so that Evan can get out of me and lead a new life. I stand on the edge of the building, looking at the tiny cars moving like little ants below me, I spread my hands wide, close my eyes, the chilling wind makes my mind blank. I imagine myself falling down from the building, a step nearer to heaven. Just as when I wanted to take a step ahead, a voice strikes me. "Wow, it's so windy here! hmm... how can i not notice here until now?"
I quickly look to the direction of the voice. A pale skinny boy with the age almost same as me, wearing the same patient robe as me, is sitting on the edge of the building too. Despite his weak look, his wide smile adorns his appearance.
"Who are you? When do you come here?" I asked in surprise because I didn't notice his entrance.
"Annabelle Kingsman. You don't remember me?" I can see a swipe of disappointment on his face.
"You know me? Do I know you?" I recall back my memories but none of his character comes out.
"Aizs, i should have know you forgot about me. I'm Jared O'Connell. We were classmates during high school and you are the one who gave me a helping hand when i was bullied by few idiots." He's hoping for my reaction.
Slides of memories run through my head. I knew him! I was a prefect in high school and was so angry to see a few big bullies wanted to take advantage of Jared. Jared was a skinny boy since small. He was everytime absent from school due to his illness.
"Hey, it's such a coincident to see you here." I smile. "It's so dangerous for you to sit there, Jared!" I shout at him.
"It makes no difference for you to stand there too." His smile is so warm until i can feel it in my heart. My smile fade when he said that. I am so frustrated and so upset on everything happened. I walk to his side and sit beside him.
"My dear friend," he look away from me "don't give up so easily. What i failed to do, you can make it. You are the toughest and bravest girl i have encountered. You will go through all these." He turn to me and his hand touch my face. I can see his sadness in his eye and can feel the coldness of his hand. I hug him and tears flow down on my cheek.
"Come, let's go back inside. It's cold here and you can't take it." Suddenly I feel so relieve and urge him to go back into the building. I knew I have to go to the operation tomorrow. I have to fight for the chance to live.
----------------------------------------------------------
One month later...
"Hey Jared, I'm fully recovered already. Yesterday Evan proposed to me and i accepted him" I smile. "Our wedding will be on this year end!"
Holding a bouquet of white daisies, I stand in front of Jared's grave. I can feel his portrait on the graveboard smiling back to me, congratulate my succession on the operation one month ago.
After my operation, only I realised that Jared died on his operation the afternoon before we talked that night, and only that time I knew why his body was so cold that night. I am so thankful that he rescued me from ending my life. I am so grateful that he helped me and confidented me. I appreciated his appearance that night.
"Jared, thank you. Thanks a lot! What you failed to do, I did it!" I thanked him before I left. I hope he will rest in peace.
p/s: the story is inspired by a daily nespaper ;)

"The success percentage of this operation is 50% and you have to decide whether to take a bet or not." It was Evan who make the decision for me of the operation. I was very inconfident. Not a bit at all. Nevertheless, the operation will consume a large sum of money which may use up all of Evan's saving. I am very thankful for what he had done for me for the past few months and i think i shouldn't grave more to him which this operation doesn't fully guarantee a live for me.
I have a notion. I wanted to end my life faster so that Evan can get out of me and lead a new life. I stand on the edge of the building, looking at the tiny cars moving like little ants below me, I spread my hands wide, close my eyes, the chilling wind makes my mind blank. I imagine myself falling down from the building, a step nearer to heaven. Just as when I wanted to take a step ahead, a voice strikes me. "Wow, it's so windy here! hmm... how can i not notice here until now?"
I quickly look to the direction of the voice. A pale skinny boy with the age almost same as me, wearing the same patient robe as me, is sitting on the edge of the building too. Despite his weak look, his wide smile adorns his appearance.
"Who are you? When do you come here?" I asked in surprise because I didn't notice his entrance.
"Annabelle Kingsman. You don't remember me?" I can see a swipe of disappointment on his face.
"You know me? Do I know you?" I recall back my memories but none of his character comes out.
"Aizs, i should have know you forgot about me. I'm Jared O'Connell. We were classmates during high school and you are the one who gave me a helping hand when i was bullied by few idiots." He's hoping for my reaction.
Slides of memories run through my head. I knew him! I was a prefect in high school and was so angry to see a few big bullies wanted to take advantage of Jared. Jared was a skinny boy since small. He was everytime absent from school due to his illness.
"Hey, it's such a coincident to see you here." I smile. "It's so dangerous for you to sit there, Jared!" I shout at him.
"It makes no difference for you to stand there too." His smile is so warm until i can feel it in my heart. My smile fade when he said that. I am so frustrated and so upset on everything happened. I walk to his side and sit beside him.
"My dear friend," he look away from me "don't give up so easily. What i failed to do, you can make it. You are the toughest and bravest girl i have encountered. You will go through all these." He turn to me and his hand touch my face. I can see his sadness in his eye and can feel the coldness of his hand. I hug him and tears flow down on my cheek.
"Come, let's go back inside. It's cold here and you can't take it." Suddenly I feel so relieve and urge him to go back into the building. I knew I have to go to the operation tomorrow. I have to fight for the chance to live.
----------------------------------------------------------
One month later...
"Hey Jared, I'm fully recovered already. Yesterday Evan proposed to me and i accepted him" I smile. "Our wedding will be on this year end!"
Holding a bouquet of white daisies, I stand in front of Jared's grave. I can feel his portrait on the graveboard smiling back to me, congratulate my succession on the operation one month ago.
After my operation, only I realised that Jared died on his operation the afternoon before we talked that night, and only that time I knew why his body was so cold that night. I am so thankful that he rescued me from ending my life. I am so grateful that he helped me and confidented me. I appreciated his appearance that night.
"Jared, thank you. Thanks a lot! What you failed to do, I did it!" I thanked him before I left. I hope he will rest in peace.

Lavender = Waiting
As the owner of the farm, Terrell was looking at his beautiful Lavender field. He personally hated lavender, he was thinking that should he convert this lavender field to some others field. However, he is concern about how much his mom loves this field.
This farm is not an ordinary farm. Is actually a place for people to stay and try the life as a farmer and also as a flower and fruit planter. This place is belong to the LuciferAngle Group which owns 180 hotel all around the world. This is a place that used to lost money every year but Terrell did not want to close it down, because he afford to lost and also this is the only place that he can relax and be himself. He was so fed up with paparazzi, in these this place no one know who is he even they thinks that he looks like someone they know, they will not believe he is Terrell, they will only thought that he looks like Terrell the owner of Lucifer Angle Group.
He was feeding is horses on the field and he saw a girl is heading his farm. He cant see her clearly but he can tell she is a 'small bone'.
She walked into a mini cottage that located in front of the farm and rang the bell on the table which her suppose that's the front desk.
She expected an elderly will walk out but she was wrong. She wouldn't believe what she had saw. The man in front of her was breathlessly handsome. He has a pair of eyes with both huge pupil which she think they are able to communicate, and a straight nose. She was speechless and stoned just liked him. He cant believe that the girl standing in front of him is true. She is lovely but not extremely beautiful. Nevertheless she is attractive and somehow he felt that she looks him.
"Oh, excuse me miss may I help you?" An elderly asked
"Oh sure. Do you have any rooms available?" She asked
"Oh of course. What room would you prefer? Single room?" Elderly smiled and asked
"It will be lovely." She said and smiled

"Oh of course. What room would you prefer? Single room?" Elderly smiled and asked
"It will be lovely." She said and smiled
______________________________________________________________
She was looking at the sky.
"This is a very beautiful places" She told herself
"Good morning" Terrell greeted
"Oh.. Morning" She was blushed simply because he is too handsome.
"Why are blushed?" He asked wickedly
"Erm.. I am hot." She said
"Hot!? It just stopped raining" He said
"I don't know why, but I am hot." She said
"Oh.. ok." He laughed at her and said "Breakfast is ready."
They walked into the Cottage's kitchen
"Good morning." Greeted the elderly
"Morning!" She greeted
While they were having their breakfast, she notice something she was the only visitor in this farm. There was no others. According to Terrell this is due to the bad location and also size of the farm.
"Now, I will teach you how to milk a cow." He said "Watch carefully, if you do it the wrong way, you might be kick by the cow." He said
"OK" she replied
He stared to milk it and he said:
"I think you is impossible for you to do this."
"I think so too." She replied and they laughed aloud
"You can't manage to secure the cow in position. "
"I know" She said and she looked carefully how he milk the cow
"What your name?" he asked while he is milking the cow
"Stella" she said
"I am Terrell" He rose and passed her a metal cup that filled with milk and said "Please to meet you Stella."
"Thank you." She handed over and tasted the milk "Omg! It's so creamy."
"You know what!? I have a feeling you will be very uncomfortable tonight." he said
"Why?" She asked just like a child
"Well, " He touched her head just like how people touch their child and said "Because most people wont use to it and since you drank the whole glass of it. You might fall ill."
"Why don't you say it earlier!?" She asked
"I forgotten" He replied and laughed
"You..." She couldn't explain what she want to said
"Is ok, when you fall sick I will take care of you." He said
She was blushed. He noticed he said something and he was shock by his own word. How could he said something like that!? He just met her 2 days.
__________________________________________________________
He sat for 2 hours on the grass field which able him to look at the lavender field doing nothing. He doesn't know what had happened to him. He doesn't believe in love at first sight although people used to tell him that sometimes chemistry just work. He used to think that it's stupid and hilarious. He can't believe what had happened to him, he might be in love! Is that what he wants!?
He rose and walked into the cottage. He saw the elderly was sitting on one of the cane chair and chilling nicely. He saw Terrell and he noticed something wrong is going on with Terrell, he asked:
"Sir, why do you look so worry?""I not sure." He replied "Oh please stop calling me Sir, this is not the hotel it is just a farm."
"Very well, Terrell” said the Elderly
"Excuse me." She walked into the cottage and said
"Yes?" Terrell asked and smile charmingly
"Erm..." She doesn't know how to explain that she had nothing to do at the moment.
"Oh, tomorrow Terrell is going to teach you communicated with horses." Said the Elderly "And now, Terrell will bring you to the lavender field."
"Oh.. Great." She said and looked at him
___________________________________________________________
"Oh it was a very beautiful field." She said
"Yea." He said "What brings you here? This place is not a very famous place and is small."
"Oh.. I planned to have a holiday alone." She said firmly
"Before that I thought of going to Paris."
"Why did you change your plan?" He asked
"I thought of going with someone important instead of going alone." She looked at the sky and continued "Paris is a romantic place that I dint wish to go alone."
"Someone important?" he doesn't feel comfortable with "someone important"
"Yup." She looked at him and smiled cheerfully "But I haven't find out who is he yet"
He didn't reply her instead he plucked some lavender and used a White cloth to tie it up.
"You know something?" He asked and explain "Lavender is the flower of waiting."
"Is it?" She asked
"Yes." He smiled at her "And this is for you, hope you like it."
"I used to hate lavender." She said "but now, I don't instead I am in love with it."
He didn't not reply instead he smiled at her. He sat on the field and said:
"The flower I hated the most is lavender. However, my mom just loves."
"I always wanted to convert this field to some other field like Sunflower or Rose."He looked at her and said:"But now, I think I am going to keep it."
"Why?" She asked
"Because...." He stopped for a while
"Because of you."He smiled at her and their eye met each other's.
They know this is what they wanted and waited. =)

She was washing her hand in the washroom of an office and she saw a person in white T-shirt and white pants back was facing her. She was so curious and she asked

He turn back and faced her and he was silent instead he smile at her.
"OMG since when people are hiring such handsome toilet cleaners!?" She asked her self
"Miss, why are you blushing?" He asked
She didnt answer, she was stoned by his handsome looking. He was so tall and lean. His eyes was so amazing and his charming smile made she gone mad. Lastly, his white uniform made him looked like a prince to her.
"Eh miss, you are in the gents." A Indonesian guy walked in and she notice something
He is not the cleaner! Cleaner wears white collar shirt not T-shirt! She was so embarrassed, she hopes there is a hole for her to hide.
"Hahahaha..." He laughed aloud
"Do I look like a toilet cleaner!?" He asked

"OK."
"You see his clothes? (pointing at the Indonesian guy) It is almost the same."
"You mean my taste of clothing is like a toilet cleaner?" He asked wickedly
"No I mean..." She wanted to explain again
"See, this is why I said is not a need to explain." He said
"...." She was silent
"Oh btw, I am ...erm.. never mind. I am your toilet cleaner." He shake her hand
"I was so sorry. I don't mean to insult you." She said
"Is okay. May I know your name?" He asked
"I am Eve." She said
"Dont need to be so tension. Is okay..." He said and walked out the washroom

Waken
She is person that used to day dream a lot. She always want to get the things she want. The thing that she wanted the most is a person. A person that melts her heart and makes her feel that the main point of living is because of him. She wasted most of her time on waiting and not dating anyone. She has been single for 25 years. This is not what she wanted. She want to be with him and be happy ever after. However she failed. She not even have a chance to meet him again after the last time they met.
She met him when she was 19. She told her self that HE is the person she want. she believe that they will met again. However the day she expected has not arrive. She always wanted to give up and go for another person but she cant. She just keep on comparing whoever with him. She just cant get rid of his charming smile. What can she do? She was so depressed.
Now she is 26. She gave up all her dreams, she finally know that it is impossible to get what she want. She married a random guy that have a random job that own few thousands per-month. She has 3 kids. She always thought that after she get married, she will be happy. However she is not. She thought after she get married she will be happy but it ended up not. She thought after she have kids she will get happy. However after so many kids, she is just getting sadder and sadder. She miss him even more. She started to cried very night and one day something happened.
After that day, she didn't cry anymore. She doesn't miss him anymore. She disappeared from everyone. No one can find her anymore. She is missing. She flied away like dust and never return.

The bloody lawyer just called and he went to the lawyer office and he is engaged? Engaged since he was a kid? His parents don't even remember about this before he mention about it!? They engaged him with a stranger? Oh god. The worst part is, if he don't get married within this 6 months, half of his properties will goes to the bloody lawyer!! Not his fiance!? Oh god, this is really shitty!
"How can you people do this too me!?" He asked his parents
"Oh Tristan, now u mention I remember them. They are a pair of beautiful couple, I believe that their daughter will be pretty! " Said his mother
"You believe!? What if she is pretty monster!?" Pretty is not the main point!
"OMG dearest, what a word you used. How rude!" Answered his mother
"I don't know! If i am 20 I wouldn't mind the lawyer to get half of my properties! But now I am 37! You know how much I have now!? Oh mummy! What had you and dad done to me!?" He said desperately.
_____________________________________________________
"Sweetheart, why did the lawyer call you?" A middle age man asked.
"What!? How dare you asked papa? I am so disappointed to both of you and mama! How can you? Engaged me with a totally stranger!? " She was so frustrated! She can't believe it! She is only 24!!
"Engaged!? when did I...?" Oh my.. he did...
"When did u engaged me to a stranger?" She asked
"Oh now I remember, there is nothing bad, I saw that boy when he was a kid. He is kinda good looking." Her father smile and acted like nothing ever happen
_____________________________________________________
After a week Tristan called her. He wants to know who is she and what is she doing. Is she a jobless spoiled brat or a glass doll that will broke easily.
"Hello, where are you? I cant see you." When he reached the cafe he phoned her
"I might be a little late.. I am sorry." She said
"Why!?" He told is already late, how can she.... anyway, bad impression!
"I have to work. Give me 15 minutes." She said and hang up the phone.
He waited for half an hour and when he wanted to leave he saw a young and attractive girl. She is prefect but just that her height is... somehow.. too short. He was starring at her until...
"Excuse me are you Tristan?" She asked
"Yea... you are Ariel?" He asked. He doesnt know that she is so freaking young...
"Yea..." She sat down and ordered a cup of iced tea.
She doesnt know that he is that young.. She thought he was 37 years old but he looks like 28.. Oh dear.. did the lawyer told her wrongly?
"Please don't stare at me." he said softly
" Oh.. sorry." Why not? he looks so good
"So.. you.." he started
"Yea?" What's up?
"Yea?" What's up?
"How old are you?" He asked
"24"
"Oh Jesus..." 24!? She looks like 18!
"You?"
"37!" There is nothing to lie about
"We have to get married. I hope you can coopered with me." he said
"This is not a business ok?"
"I know but, you have to and we have no choice." He answered
She didnt answered. She knows they have no choice. However, she really dun mind to have such a good looking husband! She smiled at him.
After 3 months..........
"I am home." he walked in to the apartment and said
"I know, I am not blind." She answered
"Stop being rude!" He said and walked to the kitchen
This is how they lived for 5 months, they don't feel anything wrong and they actually enjoy their lifestyle a lot.
"Tristan, tomorrow is Saturday." She said while she was cooking
"Yea.. are you going out?" He asked
"Yea.. are you going out?" He asked
"Nope, I think we need to do some shopping." She said
"I feel like going for a movie." He suggested
"Movie? What movie?"
"I don't know, it has been a while since the last time I went to the cinema." He said
"Old man." She laughed at him
"Fine, I will go myself." He said
"Hey stop being childish. I will go with you but after that, you have to go shopping with me." She said
"What kind of shopping?" She is just making him broke. he wonder did she used half of his properties after they get married or even more than that?
"Grocery." She will only go clothes shopping with her friends and sisters but not him!!!
"Hey, your mom called up that day." Said Ariel
"Yea, I know."
"Can I know why!?" She asked
"I bet you don't wan to know."
"Why? I want to know!"
"No you don't want to."
"I want, she started to pull his clothes."
"She asked is there what's wrong with my di*k, where is her grandchildren." he whisper to her
She was blushed and stoned. Grandchildren!? Oh good, she admit they sleep in the same bed but... They are 'clean'.
"See i told you." He said and gave her a wicked smile.
____________________________________________________
This marriage has stayed for 9 months. This not what he planned. He wanted to divorce when it reaches the 8th month but now things just going on so wrong and the best part is he don't feel like leaving her. He already used to the lifestyle where he went home there's a 'monkey' for him to talk to.
She went back to her parents place for a few days, and he found out that is so hard for him to get back to what he was before. Those single, dating different women every week, online gaming without anyway television's noises, eating food from McDonald's. He still remember the last time he called McDonald's the delivery boy was like "It has been a while from the last time you ordered."
His life is totally different now. He don't feel annoyed at all! In fact he like it. Oh god, he might be in love with her. How can this be?
"Ring.. Ring..." He picked up his phone..
"Tristan... I got into an accident." Ariel said the the other side of the phone
"Get out of the car and stand far away from it. I will be there now!" He hang up the phone and rushed to her
____________________________________________________________
"Are you alright!?" he asked and he naturally hugged her
"Yea... " She answered.
She looked so shocked and scared. By her look he can tell that she cried.
"What happened?" He asked
"I wanted to phone you and the car lost control and hit the divider." She said and she hugged him again.
"Why on Earth you want to phone me?" he asked
"I... want to tell you I am coming home...and...I mis..s...you." She burst into tears.
The condition of the car looked so bad, when he saw he thought that she was dead.
"Excuse me sir... Is that your car?" The police man asked
"Oh it belong to my wife." He said
She was stoned by the word wife. It was the first time he address her as his wife. She smiled at him and the police man was puzzled.
"I was so worried just now. I just notice that I have used to the lifestyle were a pretty monkey is around me. I think it will be very hard for me to lost you." He whispered to her and kissed her forehead.

Both of them used to go to the beach a lot. They don't go there for volleyball, swim or serving but they went there and calm them self down. Both of them are not workaholic but they just have so many work to do, so many obstacle to full fill.
He used to see her in the beach every times she went there, he was actually curious about her. Who is she, why is she here. She looks happy every times she was in the beach but today, she looks really sad.
"Hi, do mind I sit beside you?" He walked over to her and he asked
"Erm..." She was stoned by his look. She knows him! Oh god, she is the person she always want to meet!!! Is Him!!!
"May I?" He asked again. This is what he hate it when women looks at him in this way.
"Yea." She stay calm again and thinking about what happened just now
"Why are you looking so sad today?" he asked
She looked at him with a very sad face. She shacked her head and place it on her knees and start crying.
He was panic and he doesnt know what should he do!
"Eh.. stop crying please. Everyone is looking..." He bagged
However, she cried even louder.
"Go away, I don't need anyone!" She told him softly
"Oh no, you don't cry... mayb you should tell me what happened." Oh God...
"I am the most unlucky person on earth! Don't even come near me!" She cried
"What happened?" HE garbed her shoulder and asked. He is now worried about her
He bought her a cup of hot tea and she started to calm herself down.
"Now, are you able to tell me what happened?" He asked
"I got into an accident just now." She said calmly
"And then?" That's it????
"Later I got into another accident." She said
"One day two accident?" He asked
"Yes, and that's not my car."
"Oh good god, you should be happy that you are not dead!"
"I have to pay for the car! I rather to be dead!!!" She said
"Hey, don't cry.. What car you were driving?" He asked
"Ja...gu..ar..." She said
"Oh god.. you have to sell your kidney then.." He laughed
"Stop fooling.... I need lot's of money now!"
"Okie... Who's car is that?" He asked

IF
As usual, Esther went to the Starbucks coffee shop beside her college after her class. She ordered chocolate frappucino as she need something to light up her day. She was not in a good mood, she just screwed her first quiz and she lost her favorite key chain this morning. She wanted to enjoy her afternoon with her favorite drinks in the comfortable coffee shop.
"Sorry miss, I'm so sorry about that. Do I hurt you? Can I buy you another drink? Hi miss, I'm so sorry about it. I said I could buy you another drink, why are you staring at me this way? Miss, I had apologized! Please don't be angry! Miss ! Miss! "
Oh my god, he is too perfect until Esther stun and looked at him for a long time.
"Huh? What? Oh, is okay. Don't worry, I'm fine."
"Chocolate Frappucino for you?"
"Ya. Please, thank you"
"Welcome, it is my pleasure. I think I have to go now. I apologize again, for what I have done just now. Bye. "
Oh, he is such a lovely guy. She just cant stop looking at him, she thinks she fell in love with this guy. However, everything came too fast, she never believe she can love someone at first sight and in such a short time. God must be joking with her. She is pretty and has so many admirers but she never like any of them. She is a typical Virgo, she only wants perfect stuff especially a boyfriend.
Esther felt very weird because she never see this guy although she had been living around this area for few years. She did not know his name, his number and where he lives, how is she going to meet him again? Oh..so sad..so sad...Esther told herself to forget about that guy because she knew that they are impossible to be together. She did not want to waste time in loving and waiting a stranger. She wanted to give up although he is so perfect. But, in her mind, she promised herself that she will fall in love with him if she met him again.
Next day, Esther went to the college as usual. She was quite happy because she only has Calculus class that day. Middle of the class, suddenly, there was 1 guy that knocked the door and came in. OMG, is him..is him..is the guy she met yesterday. "Why is him here?" "Is he a new student?" Esther was so excited and she started to smile at the guy.
"Class, we have a new guy today. Dean, please introduce yourself."
"Hi everyone, my name is Dean. I'm from
"Alright Dean, you are late today so you have to sit at the only empty space beside Esther."
Oh my god. When he walked to her place, he smiled at her. He still remembers her! She was very excited but she tried to hide her expression.
"Hi, we meet again."
"Hi."
"Hello, bro. Why are you so late? Where are you now? I had finished my class."
"Oh Esther, I'm so sorry. I'm afraid that you have to wait me for another half hour because I caught in a terrible traffic jam."
Esther sighed loudly because she had to wait her brother for so long and she had nothing to do. Oh, Starbucks! She can go to Starbucks and grab her breakfast. When she was walking to Starbucks, she thought of Dean. She could not believe that she met him again. Her heart start beating fast and she doubted that she fell in love with him. She told herself "If I met him in Starbucks today, I will fall in love with him."
Esther was enjoying her caramel machiatto and
Suddenly, she saw a familiar face. IS DEAN! She quickly grabbed the magazine on the table and pretending reading it. She don't want Dean to see her. He passed by her and she was relaxed because she knew he won't come in the coffee shop. But, she was totally wrong.
“Welcome, sir." She heard the barista and she quickly turned her head and looked at the entrance. Her heart started to beat very fast and her hands sweated. Is Dean! He came to Starbucks and she met him! This means that she has to fall in love with him! She couldn't believe so she blinked her eyes and looked at the entrance again. This time, she saw Dean waved to her and smiled at her.
Her mind went blank, the only thing she did was smile back to him.
"Hi, anyone is sitting here? Can I join you?"
"Oh, hi, sure, you can sit here."
"Thanks. Why are you alone here?"
"Herm, I'm waiting my brother to pick me up. How about you?"
"This is the second day I moved here. I do not have any friends and I do not know where to go."
"Oh I see. Why you moved to here? Where are your parents?"
"I came here to study. My parents had divorced and both of them had remarried. So, I have freedom to go anywhere I want."
"It must be very hard for you to live alone at this age."
"I'm used to it. Don't worry."
"Hey, my brother is here. I got to go. See you tomorrow in calculus class. Bye."
"Bye. Oh ya, you are very beautiful and I'm very happy to know you."
Esther blushed and she walked away shyly. Although Dean was not the first person to praise her, but she felt very happy. She was shocked because in the past 18 years, she was not soft-hearted. All of her admirers were rejected by a cold stare. Dean is the first guy that make her feel happy and nervous when she was together with him.
It's 7 in the morning. Esther was standing in front of her wardrobe, thinking what to wear to the college. Suddenly she saw a green color t-shirt that she never wears. She tried with a pair of jeans and it's nice. She was conscious with her dressing these days, she wanted to look nice in front of Dean. Suddenly, there was a weird thought came into her mind. "If he wears green tshirt and jeans today, I'll ask him for lunch and fall for him." Esther love to imagine and she's weird. She always comes out with stupid questions and she likes to bet with herself.
The way to college seems very long, she was very nervous and wanted to see how he dress. She can’t sit quietly in the class, she keep on look out of the class, can't wait to see him. Suddenly, a guy with green tshirt and jeans passed by but she cant see his face clearly. "Oh god, don't kidding with me. It must not be him. " God was not joking with him, it is Dean that dress in green tshirt and jeans. Esther felt like fainting when Dean waved at her. She couldn't believe everything come so true, whenever she bet with herself about Dean.
"Hi, Dean, are you free later?"
"Ya, I do not have any class after Calculus class. Why?"
"Can we have lunch together?"
"Sure."
Esther had no choice and asked him for lunch. She never asks a guy out before this, she was so shy and scared when she asked him out. They went to TGI Fridays to have their lunch. The restaurant environment is very nice. They chatted a lot that day, from their childhood to their family members, educations, hobbies, favorite movie and music and many more. They exchanged their mobile phone number too. Dean was very gentleman and he paid for their lunch. Esther was very happy and she fell more for Dean.
It's 3am in the morning, Esther still thinking about Dean. His smile, his spec, his face, his body, his emotions, actions, movements, etc..everything about him! She really fell in love with him. But she don't know what is in his mind. She scared that he already had another girl in his heart. Tears started to drop from her eyes. Although she is pretty and intelligent, she has low self-esteem especially in love matters. She had very strong feelings to Dean. She cant stop from thinking of Dean.
She started to imagine that they are together, they meet in the college and go to starbucks every day, they always go on vacation, Dean give him surprise on every Valentine's day and her birthday, they go to the same university and stay in an apartment together,they own their own business, they get married and many more romantic scenes...until she slept.
The next day when she woke up, she was so shocked that she received a few texts from Dean.
"Hi, Esther. It's 5a.m now. I could not fall in sleep the whole night. Can we chat?"
"I know it is ridiculous but my mind is full of you."
"I think I've fall in love with you."
"Can you be my girlfriend?"
"When you see this message, can you please think about the questions I asked you earlier?"
"If you agree, please wear the white dress u wore on the day we first met."
Esther was so excited when she saw all the messages from Dean. She was touched. She couldn't believe that Dean fell in love with her too. She quickly changed into the white dress and went to the college. She wanted to tell Dean "Yes! I wanted to be your girlfriend so badly!" immediately. She can’t wait to meet Dean. "What will Dean do to me after he saw me in the white dress?" "Will he hug me and make few turns or he will kiss me excitedly?" Oh, Esther's mind was full of all the romantic scenes.
When Esther stepped into the college, she saw Dean wearing the shirt he wore on the first day they meet too. He looked good in the white shirt. He was holding a bouquet of red roses in his hand. He walked to Esther and gave her the roses. He then shouted at the corridor, "Esther is my girlfriend!" . The people in the corridor cheered and clapped their hands. Dean then hugged Esther and gave her a kiss. He said at her ears, "You look gorgeous today. Thank you for being my girlfriend. I promise I will bring lots of happiness to you."
All of Esther's imagination came true after that. Esther was very happy because she dare to bet to herself and stepped the very first step. Dean and Esther live happily ever after.

Kaleidoscope Maker
Emily was the only daugther of a kaleidoscope shop owner in Millan, Italy. She used to see how her dad make kaleidoscope since she was a child, she was always curious about the magic of the mirrors, the way they reflect and how happy can they make one person be. She made her first Kaleidoscope when she was five. She remember she cut her finger and her dad was so nervous and he broke more mirror when he started to run around looking for plasters. From that day onwards, there is always box of plaster glued on the wall.
When Emily was 21 her dad passed away and left her the shop and very limited of money. She stopped college and became a kaleidoscope maker just like her father. Nor matter how hard her life is, she still do her best to secure the one and only shop that her dad left to her.
The bell that she hanged on the door knob rang, she raised her head and she saw a gentleman walked in.
He thought that this is the most unique shop he ever been to. This shop is mainly made of wood and lots of different kind of kaleidoscope in this shop. There were round kaleidoscope, square kaleidoscope, kaleidoscope table lamp, kaleidoscope key chains and even... a kaleidoscope carousel. He wanted to touch it but someone stopped him.
"Sorry sir, that is only for display." She said
"Ohh... " He didn't notice that a girl was sitting there.
"Can I know what kind of kaleidoscope you are looking for?" She asked
"Um.. I am going to Australia soon, I want to get a kaleidoscope for my niece." He said
"I see, then I will recommend you to get a kaleidoscope bracelet for her." She walked to the a cupboard and took a few bracelet for him to choose.
"Actually is not a real kaleidoscope but we used the same concept to make it. I believe she will love it." She smiled
"She is a 12 years old kid, which one you think she will like it? You know, I am not really good at this." He said
"The pink one I guess." She said
"Then I will take the pink one, please." He smiled at her
She was amazes by his smile, he looks really charming at that moment.
"Is there anything wrong?" He asked because he saw she was stoned
"Oh.. I am so sorry. Do you need me to wrap it?" She asked
"Oh.. it would be great." He answered
These two weeks she cant stop thinking about him, especially his charming smile. Every time she looks at the kaleidoscope seems that she can see his face in it. It was really crazy and ridiculous, after her father passed away she didn't even have time to go for a date she was totally out of date and she even thought that she was a lesbian! However, thing just changed now. She is in love with a person that she only met once and don't even know if there's a chance to meet him again. She took the 1st kaleidoscope she made and started to look into it and again she saw his face but is kind of different with what she see.
"Excuse me." He said
"Ohh..." She was shocked
"Are you having fun with the kaleidoscope?" he laughed and asked
"Yea." She said shyly
"This kaleidoscope looks.... normal and childish." He said
"This is the first kaleidoscope I made." What do he expect a kid will do?
"Ohh... Can I have a look at it?" He asked
"The pattern is nice and 'childish' " He said
She didn't answered him and showing him a unhappy look
"I am sorry." He apologised
"So you went Australia? What did your niece said about the pink kaleidoscope bracelet?" She asked
"She love it. There is something she asked me to buy it for you." He handed her a very pretty box
"Oh... What is that?" She asked
"Open it." He said
She opened it and she saw a pair of very pretty heels.
"Oh.. how pretty. How much is it? " She asked
"Um.. Is a gift you see." He smiled
"But is not right to accept gift from stranger." She said
"Am I consider a stranger? I am your customer!" He said unhappily
"But.. it is still not right." She said
"Alright then why don't you teach me how to make a kaleidoscope bracelet?" He said
"Um.. alright, but is not easy, you have to learn how to make a basic one 1st." She said
"I learned how to make the basic one in high school." He said
"Oh but then, it's still different between the high school one and the basic one in a kaleidoscope shop." She said
"Alright then, I will come on everyday Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday at 7pm." He said
"Oh... ok." She obey him
He started his class and he find that she is a very special young lady. She is different from those women he met, she is pure and clever but a little clumsy because she always cut her finger. Every time when she cut her finger, he felt sorry to her fingers. He is kind of like fall in love with her.
"Today is the last class, why don't we have dinner after the class?" He said while he walking into the shop
"Oh... you are early today, I am having my dinner." She said
"You cooked?" Gosh.. did she burn down her kitchen?
"Yea... you want some? I cooked too much." She said
"Yeah.. why not." He sat down
"Emily, are you.. erm... available?" He asked
"What?" She looked at him
"I mean erm.. do you have any boy friend or you know, mayb husband?" He asked
"Oh... I get what you mean. No, I am single, and why are you asking me that?" She answered and asked
"Erm... Because erm... Because you see I am also single... and..." He was 'jammed'
"You are single so what?" She is not interested to be just someone before he found another better one!
"Emily I think... I am in love with you." He said
"You think!?" What do he mean by think!?
"Gosh.. I am not good at this... I mean I want to start a relationship with you. A serious one you know... you get what I mean?" He felt very helpless now
"Yea.. I totally understand." She said
"So?" He asked
"It depends on can you make something beautiful today." She said
"You know I cant!" After these few weeks of 'lessons' he really found out that he is not good at craft at all!!! He sucks on it!
She didn't said anything instead she smiled at him, and he knows that's the answer he wanted
