Looking around at the couples holding hands, I thought to myself about all my failed social interactions and relationships. Then looking at myself in the mirror wishing I had charm and just a bit of beauty, my long tan legs were always emphasized by the black body hugging pencil skirt included in my work uniform the white dress shirt   with black buttons didn't make me look ugly, but also not really flattering me
too much. My skin being not too light but not too dark complemented my chocolate brown eyes and hair. Letting go of my looks and continuing with these pathetic thoughts about the people around me, like I do every time the weekend comes; working the night shifts at the cafe after my last college class.Disregarding all that, let me tell you about today. Though it was just another Friday with college girls dragging their boyfriends out for date night and older couples out after a tiring day at work. I felt something different in the air, but I always feel something different in the air when I walk into the cafe. The anxiety of having to serve customers I've never met, dealing with the coworkers that think I have issues because of my inability to open up to them, and the fear of screwing something up. Finally as the night draws on and the only customers left is a girl and a boy who had evening classes at the university. I am reminded of two of my old friends who were just like the boy and girl sitting in the cafe, well that's what portrayed to me, the people I used to know were supposed to be nice, trustworthy, loyal, loving, caring, the best friends you could have, and they were always supposed to have my back.  Shaking off my bad gut feelings I believed their lies and got caught in their trap. That day when everything ended with them I lost my confidence, my smile, my trust, and most important of it all my old life. I've spent the last two years trying to forget each and every pain caused by those strangers I never ever should have considered my friends. I guess I've wasted too much time thinking about my past, and I really need a breather it's kinda of suffocating me in here. As I walked outside I couldn't help but feel a tingly sensation, as if something special was going to happen. Finally feeling the fresh breeze relaxed me, I felt serenity and calmness. These feelings continued until I looked to my direct left and saw a figure dressed in all black, obviously I thought it couldn't be a robber because nobody was stupid enough to rob this area. This cafe that I work at never tolerates robbers, they get caught in about 2 seconds of them entering the building, and they serve a long sentence in prison. Honestly speaking I love how secure and safe I feel here that's the main reason why I applied for this job as soon as moved into the area.This small city,Rainsense, is a place where you picture your whole life, finding a life partner, raising your kids here, and your kids raising their kids here. Rainsense is the type of place where you never really want to leave. Okay, Okay, enough sidetracking let me get back to what's going right now. So as you all know the black figure has turned out to be a male customer who just seems to just really like the color black, kinda like me; but instead of looking depressed, he looked very bright with lots of positivity to spread anywhere and everywhere. I don't know why but this guy reminds of a knight in black shining armor. At the moment since he is slowly approaching the door, I shot up a quick prayer to God; hoping that I wouldn't have to serve him. It's not that I have anything against him personally, I just am too tired to try to talk to the guy. When he walked through the door finally, I first noticed his walking stick. Looking at him and the stick seeing his level of fitness made me think well this guy is just holding the stick for fun. Like I said about the prayer, it obviously didn't work, so I am going to end up serving the guy. All my coworkers who were still here for cleanup began whispering about how lucky I am to be able to talk to such a hot guy. Also whispering about how cold robot girl who doesn't even know how to talk to people so how is she going even get anything from the hottie. For most people these kinds of mean whispers would hurt them, but I have gotten so used to them I don't even flinch when I hear them. After walking past my coworkers I made it to the guys table. As I said "what can I get you sir?" I saw that he was listening for my voice so he could  turn his head into the right direction. It's been a minute since I saw him do it and I pieced together that he's blind. Instead of telling me what he wanted to order or asking me to read out the drink and entrees on our menu he did the weirdest thing by asking me if I had trust and self esteem/ self confidence issues? No one, I SERIOUSLY MEAN NO ONE! HAS ASKED THAT!!!!!! I'm not even really mad, I'm crazily shocked that someone asked  me about my deepest and darkest secrets. The way he asked though was amazing to me, he acted as if his questions were perfectly normal and that's not even the best part, he actually had the audacity to grin like Cheshire Cat right after digging a giant hole in my personal life. Now as I am staring at his face with my mouth dropped wide open I began to check him out to figure out what was special about him that he could be so open and nosy to just about anyone. His eyes were bright and lit like magic, his hair smooth, his skin matched mine, his face was graced with an invigorating grin that could light up a room with fireworks. Snapped out of my daze with a snap of his fingers I looked down, and before I asked he told me that he could feel my gaze on him. Without embarrassing me further he just randomly told me sit down, as you guys would guess I'm totally blank on why anyone would want me to sit next to them. I stood once with my mouth open until he found my arm and pulled me down to the chair next to him. As soon as I sat down he launched into long speech about his family and friends. The whole time he just let me listen and he didn't ask me again about my issues and life. When he was done he said 'Sorry I guess you don't know my name," next responding with, "Hi my name is Rajiv what's yours?", I don't know what made me reply but something about him made me feel safe and he worthy of my trust. I whispered back, " Hi Rajiv my name is Riya." The next action of his surprised me the most, he pulled out a card with his name and number. He stuffed the card into my pocket as if he knew that I wasn't going to take it. His last words to me in the cafe were, " You can call me whenever, don't worry, I'll pick up I have a special phone which allows me to feel the buttons because they are labeled with braille. "I'll leave now, so you can finish cleaning up and close the cafe." This he said as he moved out of the chair and closer to the door. Before he walked out he propped the door open,  and leaned against it. I was confused, just when I thought I would get some time to try to understand this entire event, he won't even leave. As I began to get engrossed in analyzation, he stated one last thing "Bye Riya, hope to you hear from you very soon!" This surprising situation led me to think am I alone or not ?
