This city is buzzing alive with the colors and scents of an exotic country.

I did some shopping today and now strolling down the streets, mesmerized by my surrounding. This place is utterly, utterly beautiful.

I capture a few snaps of people going around day-to-day activity. Many times, I forward them their pictures if they like it. Well, I'm a good photographer.

It's been two weeks since I arrived here. I have been doing lots of exploring and everyday something new surprises me. There is so much history that I could spend my entire life here.

And let me tell you the people here are amazing. They are so humble and down to earth and always make you feel comfortable. I had tried many street foods here and everything tastes so good.

A few days ago, I met two girls in a restaurant who helped me with my order. I was having some trouble talking to waiter and they helped me instantly. I talked with them and they were really good people. So I exchanged numbers to meet with them later.

As I was walking, I see a boy blowing bubbles. I ask him if he could give me one try and he hands me his bubble bottle. I blow bubbles laughing with the boy. Then suddenly my phone starts ringing. I pull it out from back pocket and instantly my smile drops.

Michael.

Not now! Or ever, for that matter

I contemplate whether to receive or not. He has been calling me non stop and I have been avoiding him since. He thinks he was the reason I left. Well I did found him with other girl in an uncomfortable position and then next day I left but that wasn't the real reason. Truth to be told I don't give two shits about my ex because I never felt any connection. He was just there for name sake. We didn't even kiss more than twice but somehow he thinks he owns me. In his dreams.

"What do you want Micheal?" I ask receiving his call on last ring.

"Darling I miss you!! Why did you leave me? I said I'm sorry. I was drunk." He starts in his awful voice.

"Listen Micheal we are over. I don't want to talk with you. And even if you hadn't cheated on me I would have ended this regardless"

"No we aren't over. I know you love me and I love you" his voice his now getting higher

"I never said I love you. Stop living in your delusional world" I yell getting frustrated. I don't get this guy. Why the hell he makes everything about himself.

"Are you seeing someone? Have you met someone there?" now he sounds angry.

Just when I'm about to say no, quickly an idea pops in my head. I might have to lie but at least this will put him off for time being. I see a tall dark man standing in line to buy ice cream. Perfect.

"Actually, I did meet someone. And now I have a boyfriend" I answer in my most confident tone.

"No you don't" he scoffs like I'm kidding. I am but he doesn't have to know.
