She walked down the street with a wide smile on, feeling so giddy and excited to meet her favourite person in the world. Her boyfriend.
Today marks the day of their 3rd year anniversary. She glanced at her wrist watch as her smile widen.
4.30 pm.
"He must be there already." She muttered in glee.
Her steps toward her favourite cafe were super excited she felt like walking down the carpet or maybe the aisle, waiting to get married to her man. The cafe holds a lot of sweet memories. It's the cafe where she met her boyfriend and it is also the place where the man officially hers.
A lot of happy thoughts were playing in her mind. New memories were about to be create, replacing the old one in her memory.
She finally arrived in front of the cafe's door. When she was about to open the door, there's a man with his blonde hair were about to enter the cafe too.
"After you, miss." He said as he pushed the door open. She smiled in reply.
"Thanks."
The man nod a little bit and let her in first. The concept 'ladies first' had been taught by his father ever since then.
Just when they both entered the cafe, both eyes searching over their love ones. It was a bit crowded so it's not easy to recognize them.
Her eyes caught on one back figure that look like her boyfriend's, very muscular and manly. But the thing is, the man was with another girl.
Making her assumptions all the way, she thought, 'It wasn't him. I think I miss him already.' She giggled at that.
The man who was entered after her was searching for someone too. His baby girl. He caught a person too, similar to his girl, small and cute. But she was with someone else.
He smiled. 'She's not the one.' He thought.
After awhile of searching, they both decided to buy a drink first while waiting for their partners. Both at the same time.
She was lining in front of him and make an order to the waiter. The man were still searching and somehow, glancing at the door every now and then. Afraid that his girl might be searching for him too.
He was feeling excited too. The same. 3rd year anniversary. But today, he was going to propose her. He tried to throw all the worries and nervousness away from his heart.
She left after taking her drink, green tea bubble tea. As she walked pass the man, she took a little glance at him and saw his excited face on. He too notice her so he smile.
'Maybe he was going to meet his girlfriend.' She thought. Well, it wasn't wrong after all.
She took a sip on her bubble tea and sit on a place that was not so far away from the counter.
Just as soon as she lays her bum on the chair, she got a message. Her eyes sparkle when she saw her favourite name pop out from the notification.
[I'm sorry, babe. I can't go out with you now. I have to leave to Busan. Something came up. I love you.]
Her heart dropped to read those. Sadly, she shove back her phone in her bag and sip on her tea.
"Can I have a seat here?"
She look up to the owner of the voice. It was the same man as just now. She smiled weakly to him and nod.
"Are you waiting for someone?" He asked, taking a sip on his iced americano.
She sigh. "Not anymore." She muttered and sip on her tea until it left on half.
The man nod sadly and continue to drink on his americano. Both were quiet. Doesn't dare to say anything about it.
30 minutes passed, both were still not talking and just stare at nowhere. It was surprisingly not that awkward. Maybe because of the customers' presence.
"Um, I have to go now." She said, while smiling to him and stood up.
The man flash a small smile to her and nod, signalling her a silent goodbye.
She place the straw between her lips and finish up the remaining tea as she turn around to left the cafe. But something unexpected happened.
Her cup dropped on the floor, causing the ices to scatter everywhere. Her eyes stick on the couple, kissing while lining up on the counter waiting for their turn to order.
Her heart ached to see the scene. She doesn't feel anything other than hurt.
A palm suddenly were place on her shoulder but she didn't turn around or do anything. Her eyes were as if glued on the couple which were still in their passionate make out.
"Miss, are you okay?" The man asks as he crouch down to pick up the empty plastic cup but when he look up, hurt begin to crept in his heart. Ripping it slowly but surely painful.
The couple then broke the kiss and smile to each other. But the girl's smile didn't last when she saw the man, who was crouching down. She gasp, making her 'boyfriend' to turn around only to find someone watching him painfully.
They were cheating on their own partners.
