In the charming town of Javakarta, Albie, a reclusive artist with a secret ability to transform into a cat, and Lila, a warm-hearted barista, navigate the ups and downs of their relationship. Both have been betrayed by past lovers, which shapes thei...
Lila stirred awake to the gentle light of dawn creeping through the curtains. She glanced at the clock, noting that it was still early. With a soft smile, she turned to the man sleeping beside her. Albie, her partner, lay nestled in the covers, his chest rising and falling steadily. Lila cherished these quiet moments before the day began.
At twenty-two, Lila was vibrant and full of life. Her days revolved around her job as a barista at a cozy café in the heart of Javakarta, a charming small town where every street seemed to tell a story. She loved the rhythm of her work, the morning rush of customers, and the satisfaction of crafting the perfect cup of coffee. Outside of work, she enjoyed exploring the town, often finding herself feeding stray cats and offering them scraps from her day.
Gently, Lila slipped out of bed and tiptoed to the kitchen. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee soon filled the air as she prepared a steaming cup for Albie. She placed it on the kitchen counter, a little note alongside it reminding him to enjoy the coffee she had made with love.
Albie, at twenty-four, was a freelancer who thrived in the creative realm. His days were spent painting and drawing, a life that allowed him to stay mostly indoors. His apartment was filled with canvases and sketches, each telling a fragment of his imaginative world. While he enjoyed the solitude and comfort of his home, he sometimes felt isolated, missing the lively interactions of the outside world.
When Albie awoke, it was to the usual quiet of his apartment. The absence of Lila's warm presence was a familiar part of his mornings. He stretched and reached for his phone, noticing the message from Lila about the coffee. A smile tugged at his lips as he prepared himself for the day ahead. He settled at this desk, ready to immerse himself in his work.
The small town of Javakarta was waking up slowly, its cobblestone streets bathed in the soft glow of the morning sun. Albie glanced out the window, appreciating the peaceful start to the day. He felt a sense of contentment as he began his creative tasks, unaware that the quiet was about to be shattered.
As Albie worked at his desk, the rhythmic tapping of his keyboard was interrupted by an unexpected noise. It started as a faint scratching sound, barely audible over his concentration. Curious, he glanced up and traced the noise to the bathroom. The sight that greeted him was both amusing and alarming—a tiny mouse scurrying across the sink.
Albie's heart skipped a beat. To his surprise, he felt an overwhelming urge to act. Before he could process what was happening, his body began to change. Within moments, he was no longer a man but a sleek, dark gray cat. His instinct took over, and he pounced on the mouse with a feral excitement.

The mouse darted and zigzagged across the room, and Albie gave chase. His feline agility allowed him to navigate the apartment with ease, but the mouse was quick and nimble. Their frantic chase spilled out the open window and into the bustling streets of Javakarta.
Albie raced through the town, his sharp eyes locked on the mouse. He darted past bakeries where the scent of fresh bread wafted through the air, and through narrow alleys lined with colorful flower pots. The mouse was always just a step ahead, weaving through the crowd and under tables at outdoor cafes.
