-Author's PoV-

"Oluo..." As soon as the male walks up to (Y/n), he gulped. He waited for her to call out for the next name that was about to come out of her lips. "...your partner will be..." When she looks up to him, she saw the ginger-haired girl smiling behind. "...Petra Ral."

-(Y/n)'s PoV-

Why is Levi angry? For what reason is he blaming you? 'It was your fault' and 'he'd prove you wrong', he said. But what? All this had begun to make sense. Your eyes widen as Mike stared at you.

"Do you remember now?" He asked.

You didn't utter any words but your hands shivering as you slowly shake your head. Pulling up your knuckles in front of your chest, tears started to brim at the corner of your eyes. You let out a quiet sob, mumbling to yourself.

"That... That was..."

Your parents had never seen you crying, not since your childhood. Your mother took your hand, her eyes wandering on your face worryingly. "(Y/n)," she whispered.

The living room was brightened by the moonlit piercing through the window and accompanied by eerie silence. Minutes passed as you finally managed to calm down. Walter slowly poured some hot herbal tea that was set on the table in front of you while your parents left you alone with Mike. It's not that they don't care but they trusted him since he knew what had happened.

"It wasn't my fault..." You muttered.

Mike, still leaning against the wall changes his gaze from the floor to your eyes. He waited for you to continue.

"Oluo and Petra. Their scent matches perfectly," You continued while your eyes slowly narrowed down, filled with dejection. "Petra..who is she?"

Before Mike answered, he let out a small sigh and walked slowly towards the couch you were sitting on. "I guess you can call her, Levi's ex."

Your eyes linger from Mike's body and up to his face. Your expressions switched from shocked to questioning, "his...ex?

Mike hated to have to explain everything. But with what had happened, he has no choice but to tell you from the beginning. "Yes. Petra and Levi had dated for 3 years. Until one day Petra decided to do the...soulmate thing."

"Levi!" The ginger haired girl chirped soon as she saw Levi picking her up outside of the department store. He didn't say anything but waited for her to continue. Petra was unsure at first but as soon as she entered his car, she spoke, "Do you believe in fate?"

Levi let out a hum, confused to what she meant. He wondered why the girl has to ask when they're already dating for this long. "Why do you ask?"

"Did you know there's rumors about people who actually does match-making by sniffing their scents?" She brimmed with excitement.

It was rare to hear such rumors. Wanting to see the magic of it, Petra was thrilled enough that she so badly wanted to try it. The puzzled looks on Levi didn't vanish as she kept insisting on trying their luck. Levi however, of course rejected the idea of going to see the match-maker, making the girl disappointed.

After few days of thinking, Petra decided to go meet the match-maker on her own. Taking the cab, she arrived at her destination; Maria Café. The café wasn't all that famous back then. There were less customers but only filled with people who are interested in the match-making. As she entered the place, her eyes wander around until she saw someone familiar.
