"Is helping people the only reason for me to live?" Said a man with a brown long coat walking toward the bar counter of the cafe "I cant believe this! An old lady asked me to help her on crossing the road and i help her!"
"Good for you." Said Clair
"And a kid ask me to buy him candies!"
"And i bet you didnt."
"Of coz i didnt! candies?" He cried "Come on man! i need it too!"
"Yea.. whatever." She said and placed a cup of coffee on the bar "There goes your essential of your day. and stop bitching!"
"If you arent my wife, i will... I will...."
"Yelled at her instead of raising your voice?" Said Steven on the other table and all of them laughed
"believe me, even God ask Anthony Brown for a candy, he will yell at god like he did to the kid just now." Said Clair by refilling Eliot's coffee
"Believe me, Clair. God wont be here, he is in heaven, this is Sydney!" He said "and how do you know I yell at him? i mean you are accusing me! Mayb, i did not yell at him!"
"Aha.. you did not yell at him?" Mocked Tiffany "Give me a break, Sir! you yelled at him!" and they laughed again
"Oh well, i asked him to get out of my face. that's all i did and guess what!? he started crying."
"And you walked away without giving him a damn." Said Eliot "Aww, you are my favourite lecturer."
"Hey Clair, a cup of coffee and a glass of orange juice for this young man." Said Terrius that just walked in
"Oh.. that kid!" Anthony whispered
"The one you yelled at" Said Tiffany
"Oh.. is that old man who yelled at me just now..." The little boy said by pulling Terrius's pants
"You nasty little boy! who are you calling an old man!?" he cried
"Is ok, he is a good man." Terrius said and handed the glass of orange juice to him "stick with them until your parents come to you ok?" he said and pointed at the four people
"Oh.. again.." Said Momoko
"Yes, again." He said "Long story short, thank you." and sat on the other table that Anthony is sitting
"Terrius, who are you staying with?" He asked
"Im not gonna tell you.." He said wickedly while reading the newspaper
"Oh please! we slept together in college!" Cried Anthony
"You slept with him!?" Asked Clair
"We were roommates, we slept in the same room." Explained Terrius calmly
"Clair, we are having a conversation here, dont interrupt!" He said
"Now you are not having a conversation with Terrius but me." Said Clair
"Shut up both of you." said Terrius "Im trying to read the headlines."
"Eliot!" cried Anthony
"What?" Asked Eliot without looking at him but all the equations
"How's Ashley doing?" asked Anthony
"Still breathing." he said
"so i assume she is improving."
"slowly" Terrius added
"How do you know?" Asked Anthony
"He yelled as loud as you to her every afternoon when i try to watch TV in Tiffany's apartment."
"You are staying with Tiffany!?" Asked Anthony
"I did not say that." He said "the only thing i said is i watched TV in her apartment."
"You slept with her?" He asked again
"For god sake! NO!" said Terrius
"Then?"
"My adopted daughter is staying with her." He answered "and no further questions. Thank you and Shut up"
_______________________________
She was reading magazine with a cup of hot mocha at the starbucks that she never thought she will return to. this place bought back a lot of her memories, memories with him, Issac. if wasnt her grandfather need a check up and insist to be done in this hospital, she wont be here. the hospital is busy as usual, people come in and out but there werent any college students now because the restaurants around her old college are back on business.
"Are you.. Tiffany...?" A man asked her and she looked up
"Yes..." She said after a while. she was thinking should she deny who is she.
"How are you? It has been ages not seeing you!" Said a young nurse, David
"I am fine." she paused "I went Sydney for my education."
"I cant tell how excited will Issac be, if he knows that you are back." He added
"Erm.. mayb.." she said softly
"Tiffany!?" Cried a young doctor with glasses
"Ivan.. how are you?" She asked with a fake smiled. she hate this, she dont want to let Issac knows that she is back.
"Too bad Issac is in a meeting, or else..."
"I suppose, it doesnt matter to him." she said softly
Both of them were silent. they know that Issac refused to see her and when he finally want to see her, she rejected meeting her.
"Tif, im really sorry about what happened." Said Ivan
"Mayb is not like what you thought." David tried to defends his friend.
"Is okay." she smile "Is very nice to see both of you. I need to pick up my grandfather." she added "bye" she walked away and leave her still hot mocha on the table
"She is still mad at Issac, doesnt she?" Asked David
"Look at the mocha on the table, it's still hot and untouched." answered Ivan
"Issac is a bastard." David said
"i cant believe he is still with Melissa and they are still not married." Ivan said in an angry tone "he is a moron."
"Totally." Agreed David
"Why am i a moron?" asked Issac that came out from no where
"Holy Shit!" Cried David "Do not do that again!"
"What happened?" Asked Issac
"We saw Tiffany just now." Said Ivan
"..........." he was silent
"Your silent prove that you are a moron that chicken out on relationship!" said Ivan
"Come on.. you aint me! I have Melissa, I have Eva! I am not as single as you see!" Said Issac
"Melissa, Melissa, Melissa! Damned Melissa!"
"Besides that Tiffany is just a college girl! i am an all grown up!" He said
"Then why is her flash drive still attached with your working pass?" Asked David
Issac unattached the flash drive and thrown it on the floor angrily. "Is that what both of you want!?" He turned around wanted to walk away but he saw Tiffany standing behind him
"I left my cellphone on the table... " She said calmly "I wanted to take it back but now it seems i found my long lost thumb drive." She said and smiled
She picked up the flash drive on the floor and placed the cellphone she left on the table to her bag
"I never know i will meet you again in this kinda situation." She said with a smile "Anyway, is very nice to see you again." she walked away and her tears finally were all over her face.
This is why she didnt want to see him again. She knew this will happened. after coming back to where she belongs, she has been thinking of him non-stop. is this what she get? Maybe she should go Taiwan with Terrius instead of coming back. Terrius invited her to join him the day before she bought the air tickets, but she rejected. She couldnt believe this. is this what she deserved?
