Chloe's POV

It was already late in the afternoon and I am still all alone. Xian still wasn't able to show up after he exited this morning with Dr. Belle Godfrey. I wonder what they talked about.

Well, its not that I was expecting for him to still come and stay the rest of the night though. I smirked to myself, I feel like I'm acting like a crazy candy girl. I decided to go outside and took a walk at the hospital's garden, it might probably ease my boredom.

The sun's still up and I could still feel the humidity. I could smell the temping aroma of roasted coffee from the hospital's cafeteria. I closed my eyes, filled my nostrils and it made me crave for it. I walked towards the cafe and ordered a cup of Cafe Americano. After I took my cup, I headed back to the garden and comforted myself at the bench under a fig tree across the little fountain. Few people from the hospital and patients were also taking a break just like me, some were taking pictures and the others were busy chitchatting with each other, while I stayed silent all by myself. I smiled bitterly at the thought of being alone. My family could've been here, but I didn't know if the even had an idea that I was confined last night. My phone was nowhere to be found, probably it was left at home. I held the cup with my hands, the warmth was comforting.

I remembered the incident when Xian stole my coffee. That guy was weird. But his presence was both irritating and comforting, and that was weirder. He was concerned of me, I knew it, I could feel it. He wouldn't brought me here if he didn't. But why would he be? I guess I was just hallucinating. I shouldn't give special definitions to his actions because that would only complicate everything. Well, in the first place their shouldn't be any complications, we're not even friends, are we? I guess I was just thinking too much. Things would probably get back to normal once I'm all good already.

I took a few sip of my coffee, letting the hot bittersweet taste burn my throat. It felt good as it awakens my senses. I thought of the past life I lived two years ago. It was like this hot coffee, the strong taste of bitterness made me want to threw it away, but the mixture of the honey's sweetness kept me from wanting it for more, allowing me to tolerate the taste of the coffee. And as I continue to sip it, it makes me feel more alive. It awakens every inch of my whole being. The taste of life isn't always sweet, it's bitterness is even more so, but I woke up everyday with so much hope and faith. It enables me to get me through my daily life. I was alone for so long, living in the memories of yesterday was what kills me and made me feel alive at the same time. The bitterness of the life I tasted made me feel stronger, it was what made me. I hope I could be better. I hope I'd be able to taste the sweetness of life again. I swallowed the lump in my throat, it choked me as I tried to hold back my tears.
