One Person
The first time Tay saw him was late afternoon at the very same café he used to hang out with his college friends before going home. Tay was rushing inside to shelter and wait for the unexpected rain. Tay badly wants to drink a strong hot coffee with no sugar. Tay was seating at the corner of the café with a small space beside the window away from the other costumer but enough to see who enters the café. And that rainy afternoon someone entered the café --- he gasped in shock to see a most beautiful person he ever seen. The guy has pale white skin, black hair which looks so soft, a wide doe eyes and a pinkish pouty lips. He was wearing soft pink pastel shirt with a blue cardigan with a navy jeans and black sneakers. The guys carrying a small sling bag. He went to the counter right away and smile to Podd who owner and barista of the café. Podd give the guy a big smile and nodding to every word the guy says. Tay combusting when the guy smile to Podd and step as side to wait for his order. Tay can’t even move to go and asked the guy’s name. Tay was stunned to guy’s beauty until the left and leaving Tay heartbroken. Tay come back again and wait for the guy but it did not appear and two weeks. Tay regret he don’t have courage to stand up to ask the guy name and number. Podd don’t even know who is the guy. Until now he thinks that guy. He even calls it The one that got away.

Tay only nodded and continue to walks but suddenly stop when Off follows him. Off looks confused too when Tay walks to the same area .
“Wait? Peng?” Tay stop and turn to his friend.
“Why are you following me?” Tay asked.
“I’m not following you.” Off said.
They both turn to guy who is seating to the side alone and turn back to each other. They both frown and Tay point the guy, because at that moment they both know something.
“He’s Mine.”
“He’s Mine.”
They say at the same time. They both know they will do anything if they saw the guy again. They will never miss time. But it seems like destiny is not on their side.
