lombre des rosiers, 2020
"Isn't it a cafe? but I'm not sure because it's been a long time since I didn't go there anymore."
"It is. Been gone there before but it's not a cafe anymore. It is a multi-use building right now."
"Really? Interesting. I'll try to help you."
"Thank you. How about going there together? Just make sure if you can find something."
"What about this early evening? 15.30. I'll catch you here."
He is nodding his head and I leave him after. I have an hour of class and an hour more to do some stuff in the laboratory, I need to finish all my business before helping him do some exciting thing.
It's been about thirty minutes since the class should begin but there's no sign that the lecture going to start. My mind walked around here and there, staring at this tiny card and thinking any possible thing may happen. I feel scared somehow because it can be a dangerous thing to do, but it's also possible that it's just a prank from a freak YouTuber.
Lombre des rosiers, not a strange thing for me. It's a cafe nearby my school and I often go to the cafe to do some tasks with a couple of my high school friends. I also am a part-time worker back then. The cafe is crowded with customers almost every day so it's almost impossible if the cafe is closed because of bankruptcy.Â
Multi-use building? It's possible to build a multi-use building because of the strategic place. But as far as I know, other multi-use buildings have been constructed nearby that place. Number 2020? I'm not sure about the number of the road.
Suddenly I remember my friend who often goes together to the caf. She bring me there for the first time and we spent lots of time after school there. I decide to meet her. The length from my class to hers is ten minutes by foot, I need to walk through different buildings since we're entering different majors here. She is sitting on the bench, waved at me when I arrived then walked to me closer and give me a cup of iced matcha.
