Her POV

It all started here at McDonald's...

Sunny noontime after class, my classmates and friends went on a hangout in our favorite bonding spot—Mcdonald's fast food chain.

As usual, we got our food to fill our craving tummies. My friends ordered fries and burgers while I was always cool and contented chillin' with my all-time favorite Coke McFloat.

"Semestral break's approaching!" one of my friends, Ellie, exclaimed excitedly.

Exactly. Two weeks to go and finally, we gotta have our sembreak we've longed to rest, even just for a week from tiring, busy days at school.

"Lineth, look. There's a guy from the other table looking at you!" Savanna, sitting next to me, grinned as she put her arm on my shoulder and teased me, pointing to a man from behind us, who was, according to her, caught looking at me.

Curiously, I turned around my head to see if it was true. And from there, I saw the man from the other table quietly looking in my direction.

One thing I first noticed about this guy was the fact he had soft almond eyes, which I considered so beautiful. He had a pointed nose and bow-shaped lips with a messy waves hairstyle. He was wearing a simple white v-neck shirt and jeans. His body type was an average tone and tall.

It seemed like he was enjoying his yummy McChicken Sandwich.

I gave him a genuine smile. I mean, why not? He was looking in my direction, so maybe I could conclude he wanted to make friends? Not so sure, though.

He smiled back. And then I saw how his friends, other handsome males, grinned, smiled, and elbowed him gently as they teased him as if they were celebrating something or had won a lottery.

They jokingly tapped his hair, like telling the kiddo did a great job.

I shook my head softly as I stopped looking his way and took a sip of my drink. Chillin'.

"He's cute! You liked him?" Savanna asked, still not leaving me alone. As if she wanted to make a cupid for that man from the other table and me.

The only response she got from me was a simple chuckle.

"Lineth!" She laughed and anticipated getting an honest answer from me.

The next time I saw that man was in a place I wasn't so expecting to see him there and the role he played...

I rushed to my Religion class when I knew I was already a few minutes late. When I arrived at the door of the classroom where classes were going on already, I was surprised to see some young men standing in front of my classmates and beside our Religion teacher. One of them was speaking words of Theology...

"God has always supplied the church with faithful Christians who serve as a rich example of a truly biblical, missional theology. What is missional theology in the biblical sense? The word "mission" comes from the Latin noun mission, which means "sending" or "commissioning." If someone has a mission, it means they are going from here to there for a purpose on behalf of someone." (Reference:https://bit.ly/godandlife)

It was him! I couldn't go wrong! I could remember clearly that he was the man I smiled at that sunny day we were in the famous fast food chain.

Like his fellow, he was wearing black long-sleeve polo with a clerical collar, tucked in their slacks, and their feet were wearing leather shoes. They all look good, especially him...
