Fated To Be

An Old Friend

The sound of cups clinking, the strong smell of coffee, and the sweet taste of dessert, it is a nice evening in one of the cafés in this big town, it is located a little outskirt from the city, but because of the famous coffee and dessert, and the strategic location near the ship port, it is always full of customers, whether it is in the morning or late at night.

A person who is sitting at the best view in the cafe with a cup of tea and sweet light cream chocolate cake on the table, looking at the sunset, looking at the ship coming and going and people getting out and in of it, at here he can find the peace he is longing for, he could also see a lot of new things every day, so he would come every evening and sat there, tasting a couple of desserts and a glass of milk sometimes tea.

This man can be considered very handsome, with a gentle and calm appearance, and could be considered pretty too. If it were not for the knife scar on his right face, near the eye, the wound that affected his seeing, he would become more perfect as he is.

The scar itself is not big, but it is deep, so there is a scar that will be with him for the rest of his life. He has already gotten used to all the people talking bad things about him, as if it is just a piece of bad music playing in his ears, he will close it when it is bad and he will open it when it is good. Since life is just too short to focus on the bad things, that is his mindset and that is also how he managed to survive up until now.

A loud bang suddenly sounded on the building across the café, everyone in the café was in shock and some even decided to leave the place immediately, some people who were curious surrounded around the bank to have a look, but didn't dare to come near, after a while two people wearing all black and covering all of their face comes out with a bags on each hand, seeing this scene, they immediately know what is happening and people are screaming.

He calmly opens his eyes, his long eyelashes fluttering, and looks at the scene with confusion on his face

'Why isn't the alarm going off? Does the bank here still haven't had a security system?'

Just when he is thinking about this, a loud siren sound sounds loud and clear coming from the bank, the alarm just goes off when the thief has already gotten out of the bank. But since it is a bank, there is also security being placed at every section of the bank, the military enforcement has also arrived and surrounded the place.

But even so, they were one moment late, the thief had already gotten away, the robber launched towards the café and threatened others to make way for them to run, swinging their gun around, running past him towards the stairs and up to the second floor. The army also rushes in, chasing the robber.

People inside the café are panicking and running away, including some of the staff who are hiding away inside their staff room or the kitchen, except that young man, who is still sitting calmly in there, people would have used the word 'calm', but to be honest, he just didn't know what to do, running away outside and be meet with so many people or stay inside with peace since the robber and officer have already gone far away from his sight, so he just sits there looking dumbfounded.

One man who seemed like a leader in their group, wearing a very nice looking uniform and long coat around his shoulder, fires a gun to the sky and shouted

"Dispersed!!"

Just that one shout is enough to send chills down their spine, the ordinary folks all become anxious and calm down a little, all get away from the crime scene, and can clearly see that the robber still running away from the second floor, by running from one attic to another.

"Such a big commotion early in the morning, isn't it Lao Lu/Old Lu(老鲁)" another young man with expensive-looking clothes comes to look at the commotion, they seem to be around the same age, but the person he is talking to is not even paying attention to him. His whole attention is focused on this place.
