     One bright Sunday morning, Amirah was walking down the aisle. She was just an ordinary girl who live with her mother in a small city of London. Since the city was small, Amirah knows every single names of a person who live nearby.

People consider her as the funniest and fun type of person. She gets along with others pretty well and enjoys having a conversation.

During her early morning on Sunday, she usually does the same routine which involved her walking to Starbuck. It was just couple of blocks away from where she and her mother lives.

     Opening the door to the sound of bell chiming against the door and a smell of delicious coffee. One of the barista smile once they saw her entering through the front door. Amirah walk up the empty queue to order up her usual drinks and a muffin. She waited at her usual seat which is nearby a huge glass windows showing the view of the outside.

     Amirah smile brightly when she saw one of the barista came with her drink and muffin in hand. Giving him a warm 'thank you' once he set it on the coffee table. The barista responded with 'you're welcome' which make her more happier to start the day. Each and everyone in the cafe are usual from the same city except for one person who seems out of place.

     He wore a lab coat with casual clothes underneath. 'He must be from somewhere else,' Amirah thought. He doesn't seem very familiar, in fact she never had seen his face before. She kept her gaze fix at him, which is really creepy and rude but she can't help it. Amirah felt like she needs to know him because she was really curious about him, seeing that she doesn't recognise him makes it more interesting.

     After finishing her muffin she decided to meet this mysterious guy, unfortunately he already left when Amirah was about to greet him. She frown when he left, so she decided to try again next time if he comes back.

     Next Sunday come by so fast that Amirah can't even wait to meet him. She was walking her way to Starbuck likewise in sunflower pattern dress but she brought herself a book.

It was pack with people now which means no seats available for her to sit. Looking at her surroundings, most of them were not from around here then she spotted him. The guy from last week.

He was drinking coffee with his friends (or should I say co-workers) wearing similar clothing, casual on the inside and lab coat on the outside. This made Amirah think for a moment, she can't just walk up to them, they don't even have any available seats. She decided to just take her drink and have it under a tree at the park. It's always warm and cozy at the park, that place always somehow encourage her to read more. After taking her drink and said her 'thank you' to one of the barista, she slowly walk her way out of Starbuck and stole a quick glances at the guy with the coat. He was looking at her which makes her heart tingle.

     Amirah blush then walk out of Starbuck. She had a small smile on her face that she doesn't know about until she reach the park. It was beautiful and fresh like she always imagined it to be. Grass are as green as it is, with the wind blowing the park making the leafs on the ground and trees rustle.

Amirah walk the pathway toward a medium size tree on a small hill. It was her favourite spot to read her unfinished books. She sat there with her leg stretch forward against the tree, putting her half finish coffee aside and place her book on her lap. Before she continues to read, she felt like she need a rest for a moment before opening up her book where she placed her book mark. The book was called 'My Life Undecided'. It is very interesting and a bit sad to read.

A few page into her reading, she felt tired. Amirah then put her book mark back into her book and started to yawn. She decided to have a rest eye, but little did she know Amirah fell asleep.
