Von's Point of View

My tired aching back finally felt the soft cushion of the diner sofa as I leaned my back onto it. The cafeteria slowly gets crowded with people starting their day with their meals.

And I am here sleepless and all haggard. Seriously. Damn it Von.

I sighed as my hands reached the hollow end of my pocket, only to pick up a very important thing inside.

The bright lights of the cafeteria illuminated a familiar gold ring attached to a necklace. My eyes began to completely sink on it as I felt an unusual feeling calling me for some reasons.

My other hand felt my chest and felt the said similar ring on my necklace as well.

What the actual fuck.

Those are the only words that I was just able to whisper as an overwhelming feeling of intense curiosity and longing for answers once again start to bombard me with these complicated feelings I hardly can explain.

Shit.

"Ohh! Nice ring!"

A funny and happy voice of a man was heard from behind. My eyes pressed on an image of a man who then unhesitatingly sat beside me.

He then fixed his long blonde hair into a messy pony tail as he kept on smiling and sat comfortably with his arm resting on the back cushion.

There was a clean bandage that somehow covers a portion of his cheek that might had some wound.

I didn't cared at all as my eyes sunk back onto the ring. Why does my eyes feel all heavy suddenly?

"Ahh just don't mind me tho. Im just waiting for somebody lol." He chuckled and started to type on his mobile phone.

A strange mixture of emotions and confusion clouded my mind as I kept on staring at him.

A warm tired sigh escaped through my lips as I slack by back off the cushion chair again. I kept on holding the said necklace as I stare blankly onto the ceiling.

The sounds of dishes and utensils started to fill the whole room as an awkward silence made a gap between this weirdo on my side.

He then suddenly stood up and kept his mobile phone on his pocket.

"Just give that to your girl. Don't be scared man. She might have been waiting for that moment."

A straight ass advised by the said weirdo as I looked on him. My sight quite widened the moment I saw his crimson red eyes. I was left in awe.

Those eyes—

He then passed by my side and stopped. My eyes still full of confusion and astonishment as I could feel cold sweat onto the side of my cheek

"Be quick enough, or you might lose your wife soon. It's now or never."

I jumped out of my seat and looked back, but the said weirdo was nowhere to found in the sea of people outside the cafeteria.

With her flashbacks, my feet automatically commanded me to get back to Stella as soon as possible.

Stella.

A man's point of view

"God damn it. Seriously. That dude should be moving his ass." I chuckled as I kept both of my hands inside the side pockets of my denim jacket.

It is indeed a cold morning as the rays of the sun begin to peek through the gray morning clouds over Baja California. My feet slowly took me onto the hospital's parking lot where my bike is readily parked

My attention was caught by my reflection on one of the windows of a black sports car. It seemed that nobody is inside so I fixed my beautiful long ass hair.

But I was left starting onto the bandage on my right cheek. I cannot help but to smile and recall all the things we made in that night.

Totally all worth it.

But to my astonishment the window mirror of the car suddenly went down and a very familiar face surprised me out of the blue. Like Literally!!!

His dark navy blue eyes pressed onto me as if he basically caught me cheating on another girl.

"Ho..Holy fuck— H..Hagalaz??? is that really you???"

"Surprise bitch. I'm even surprised you still remembered my name..."

"Loren Khan." He continued and looked at me very very seriously—

He then squinted his eyes and that somehow made me felt that I owe him a huge ass debt. Man..

No wonder this old hag is still single.

But one thing that really caught my attention was the medical shoulder brace he was wearing on his right arm.
