Engfa's POV

Six months later, I carried on with my day-to-day life as a single person. So far, nothing has changed except that some people in my life were gone. I've tried to move on and focus on myself now that I have taken control of everything on my term. 

I don't have to pretend to be happy anymore. And I must admit that I fucked up about my ex-boyfriend's situation for not breaking up with him sooner and wait until he acted up. Now that he's gone, I am celebrating myself, but I think I messed up my relationship when I had one drink. Why am I having this thought when we were both fucked up? 

In the hope of finding someone special for tonight, I went to the club and had plenty of drinks to loosen up and mingle with strangers. Not until I heard someone calling me from far, "Fa~" A voice that I was very familiar with in the past.  

I looked at this lady who looked majestic for this place, confidently walking towards me. At first, I didn't recognise the woman, but when I looked closer, I knew from then that it was Char. She seemed different, and I could tell her appearance was completely changing. 

"Char? Is that you?" I was mesmerised by her beauty, as if this was my first time seeing her in real life

"Char? Is that you?" I was mesmerised by her beauty, as if this was my first time seeing her in real life. 

She nodded and gave me a warm hug, which I very much needed at this time. Just the way she embraced me gives me comfort on so many levels. The hug gave me hope that I would eventually do better with myself. 

However, somehow, I fell out of touch ever since she disappeared, knowing that we had never had any form of contact for the past six months. In spite of having no communication, I still wanted to say I missed her, but I don't know if she will be gone for the second time. 

I just greeted her briefly in the club and went outside to the parking lot so I didn't have to feel abandoned by her again. 

As I started my engine, someone interrupted me from driving. "Let me drive you home..." The lady said to me. 

"Hey! I know how to drive a car, okay?!" I resisted her from taking over my car, but I couldn't believe what she did to me after that. 

"Babe~ I insist on driving you home," She was persistent and grabbed my waist so she could move me to the passenger side. 

When she did that, I felt the butterflies in my stomach and let her do her things without being suspicious. And slowly get drowsy from all the drinking and sleeping on a stranger's shoulder.  

...

The next day, I helped myself from the bed after having a throbbing headache. I drank way too much yesterday in that club... wait... where am I? I scanned through the big room that looked way too different from my bedroom.  

Then, I heard someone coming into the room, and I was even more shocked to see Char walking into the room. I was speechless to say something, and I had no memories of what happened last night. 

"Drink the green tea," Char firmly said and gave me the tea.

Why do I feel like she hates me? Or did I read her wrong? 

"Be down in 5 minutes, alright?" She instructed me again, but this time she stared at me while standing nonchalantly. 

Why am I suddenly nervous to say something to her?
