Sarocha Chankimha, aka Freen sitting at her regular bench at a park. She came there most weekend as she want to spend her time there alone.
The park is 10 min bus ride from her house.

She love to observed people from afar, from her bench she can see people walking on the adjoining street, it more busier at evening. Some people walk with companions, and some alone.

Children came to play at the park, with their friends or family members. She just sit there and spend her time, sometime she put her airpod on, sometime just observing the commuters silently.

Children are happy with whatever they are doing and most of adults look like they carry the whole world on their shoulder, even they smile, their smile doesn't reach their eyes.

Its like as we grow older, our smile faded. She asked that question always, even its happened to her life.

Her thought is occupied with many of unrelated thoughts.

Life isn't fair but it doesn't mean we should give up.
Everyone is suffering in different ways. Her life also not a fairy tales, she is struggling from day to day.

But she sought solace there, the park is the place she can be herself, spending her time.

The park is always fresh and has clean environment, she can easily relax there.

Even it has many flowering plant that has flower of different colors. As Freen love nature, its best place for her.

Even in hot tropical climate, the environment is cool with lots of plants around it.

She was so invested on her own thought that she doesn't know someone is sitting next to her.

"Hello"

Freen's train of thoughts were interrupted,  she looked towards her right side, there a girl is sitting on the bench.

Freen just nod her head and give a smile towards the girl.

The girl is cute, her hair is till her shoulder, blonde, wearing a cropped white sweatshirt and denims short, not tight one with a white sneakers.
She is wearing glasses with black frame. A big headphones on her neck, with a backpack.

After that Freen just turn and looked at the front, continue to watch the passer by.

"Are you alone?"

Again the girl asked.
Freen just nod her head, the girl continue.

"Uhmm, sorry if I interrupt you, uhh I mean your lone time"

Freen doesn’t want to be rude to the cute girl, so she bring out her Notepad from her bag and write something then show to the girl.

"Don't be sorry, you are not interrupting me"

The girl looked at her with lovely eyes and blink for few seconds, then said

"Ah I am really sorry, are you... uh?"

Freen wrote something on her Notepad and show to the girl

"Uhmm, I am mute, but I can hear"

Its like the girl is thinking something but she gave a weak smile and nod her head.

They sit in silence for while, looking at the commuters passing by.

As it's evening, its good time to observe people as all the ages of people passing by, adult who are back from wherever they were, children loitering around, running, playing with their friends.

"The place is beautiful, so cool and calm"

The girl said, breaking their silence again, they meet their eyes. She is waiting patiently for Freen to finished her writing.
