I was in a café alone enjoying my favorite coffee, Kopi Aroma, a legendary coffee in my home town. I closed my eyes and smelled it, then took a moment to inhale and exhale. It really had a distinctive typical smell. It brought me to a different world till I opened my eyes.
I noticed a familiar figure sitting at another table. she was Mariana a famous figure in town. I decided to approach her table and address her. "Excuse me, you are Mariana, aren't you?"
She simply nodded and smiled politely. "Yes, and you are...?" She extended her hand.
"I'm Dinn. Nice to meet you, Mariana." I shook her hand. "May I join you?" I asked her in doubt that she would allow me.
"Sure, take a seat. We may keep each other company.' She smiled. I saw a subtle pride in her gesture and continued. "So you know me, huh? Well, I'm quite popular in the city so I'm not really surprised, but what do you want from me, anyways?"
I was surprised that she asked me that question. I was offended but I tried not to show her. "I just want to talk to you. I knew you were very nice."
She rolled her eyes and showed me who she really was. "Don't play innocent with me. I know you have some motives coming up to me."
She started to make my head hot. "Why are you so judgmental?"
She shrugged. "Just being honest, Dinn. So tell me, what do you want from me?"
"I'm Just being friendly and maybe we can talk. That's all!" My sympathy to her was actually diminishing.
"Hmmm... being friendly and just want to talk, huh?" She tapped her chin. "alright, but don't go expecting too much from me."
