At sixes and sevens my heart

will you help me?

Daniel"ugh I've been working without a break from yesterday, at this rate I'll faint at any moment."
Joe ( Daniel's friend who works in the cafe together with him )" I know I know. I am sorry for leaving you to work alone yesterday, my school friends suddenly wanted to have a get-together"
Daniel" yeah it's fine. I'm not blaming you"
Joe" then why don't you go meet your friends or have any girlfriend? I swear I'll let you go and work if you have to meet someone. But you never meet anyone literally!!! It's been three years you've been working here and I NEVER saw you going to meet or anyone coming here to meet you! How big of a loner are you?!"
Daniel" ugh stop it already. I told you I'm waiting for someone! And when she comes you better not go back on your words because I'll be taking alot of leaves!.
Joe" you've been waiting for that SOMEONE for 3 years now! You told me that she's a boss of some company so maybe she found some rich af dude. That's why she isn't coming to meet you."
Daniel" SHUT UP OR I'LL SHOVE THIS COFFEE CUP IN YOUR MOUTH!"
Joe" okay okay I'm sorry, I think you should go in the restroom of the workers to rest a little bit. You're really tired I can see it"
Daniel"I'll go and take a quick nap then."

Daniel went to rest and lied down on a small bed and closed his eyes. Ofcourse closing his eyes won't stop all the thoughts in his head he was thinking " Anna.... When will you come back...? It's been three years since you told me that you'll come to meet me... Is this your answer? Should I consider this as a no? But it's so difficult to accept that..... I just keep myself telling that you'll come one day.. that's the only way I've survived this far...." Tears flowing down from his eyes he layed on the bed for awhile when Joe ran into the room shouting " DANIEL DANIEL WAKE UP YOU GOT A CUSTOMER!!!!" Daniel said " can't you let me rest for awhile? I just came and you already call me?!" Joe" dude I know that! That customer said her name is Anna Swift and she came to meet you! SHE'S SO DAMN BEAUTIFUL!!! If you are not interested in her tell me I volunteer!" Daniel's heart stopped beating for a moment. It's the person he have been waiting for!!! It's that person!!!!!! He wiped his tears and went straight outside.

He saw a really beautiful girl. For him she is the most beautiful person to ever exist. She had cut her hairs a little bit so they are a little below her shoulder now. She was wearing white earrings,  and her office's clothes. But ofcourse that didn't lessen her beauty even a little bit. When Anna saw Daniel she beamed the brightest smile she could and shouted DANIEL!!!! Here!" Daniel couldn't believe his eyes the person who always scolded him and never even tried to smile specially to him suddenly smiled?!?! Daniel asked Joe " Joe.... Did you see that? Di... Did she just smile? Is this a dream??" Joe smacked the back of Daniel's head and said " IT'S NOT A DREAM!!!  Now go she's been standing there waiting for you." Daniel walked to Anna.

Anna asked " Daniel, can I ask you a favor?.
Daniel answered" of-ofcourse"
Anna" hehe then can you please make me a cup of coffee? It's been three years since I haven't had a coffee from you..."
Daniel" y-yes I will make one right now!"
Daniel rushed to make a cup of coffee and returned to the table Anna is sitting.
Anna said " That was pretty fast! Hehe"
Daniel " we-well i didn't wanted to make you wait" Anna" thanks for that. And you can stop stuttering now. I'm not here for any interview. You can relax"
Daniel" o-okay well.... How.. I mean why... I mean... You know..."
Anna" you want to ask why it took so much time?" Daniel "yes."
Anna " well.... How should I say... I'm sorry for making you wait for such a long time. I wanted to settle many things and I got really busy with work and also this all happened so suddenly so I had to organise my thoughts."
Daniel" oh.... Okay I understand."
Anna" well my coffee's finished. Would you like to go outside for a walk?
Daniel " yes yes!"
Anna " let's go then!"

Daniel and Anna walked together for awhile and stopped at a bridge to sightsee. They both didn't say anything for some minutes but then Anna said " Daniel... You know I'm sorry.... I'm sorry for misunderstanding you for such a long time... Sorry for shouting at you and hurting you so badly when we were young.... Sorry for making you wait for me... Sorry for..". Daniel said " it's okay Anna it's okay, it doesn't matter. It's all in the past now" Daniel interlocked his fingers with Anna's stared into her eyes and Said "Right now at this moment you're here with me and that is all what matter"
Anna" you always leave me speechless..."
Daniel" hehe then Anna... You coming back is this a yes....?"
Anna " Wait wait wait!!! Let me say it! I've been preparing for a long time!"
Daniel" preparing..? For what?"
Anna" So Daniel..... You know that I changed alot as a person, I became person who wanted everyone to stay away from me, a person who hated you and hated everyone and in the process of being such a person ofcourse I hid the Anna which was loved by everyone deep into the Abyss of darkness where no one will meet her. I thought that it'll be like this forver but then you came and you pulled that Anna out from that dark abyss. You cleaned the dust off of that Anna's brain so she could think right. Daniel you don't know how greatfull I am to have a person like you to love me. So Daniel Cristopher would you give me the authority to date you? Would you help me to become the Anna I use to be? Daniel I like you... What about you?"
Daniel was using all of his emotional power to control his tears from flowing he bent down a little to plant a soft kiss on Anna's forehead he caressed her cheeks with his fingers embraced her into his arms chuckled a little and said " you really prepared alot, and about me. I've always liked you Anna. Infact it's not that liking... I love you Anna... I love you."
Anna hugged him back and said " I love you too Daniel... So this means you'll help me right? To become the Anna from schooldays?
Daniel chuckled and said " but that Anna was stupid as well... You want to be stupid?"
Anna pushed him away and shouted " WHO ARE YOU CALLING STUPID?!?"
Daniel" sorry sorry I was just joking"
Daniel interlocked his fingers with Anna and started walking on the bridge.
Daniel " Anna let's stay by eachother's side like this forver. You'll help me and I'll help you. Let's cry and laugh into eachother's arms. Even though we didn't have good past but let's make a good future together."
Anna Said "yes let's do that Daniel"
They walked like this talking about what they want to do and what they did past years.
They talked about the future. The future they want to spend with eachother. Love is a complicated thing which can never be defined in a word or a sentence. But for Daniel when asked what is love the only person which will pop up in his mind was Anna and for Anna it was Daniel. And maybe that answer is enough. Atleast for now, Maybe they can find many more answer for this question in future. The future they'll spend together forever.
