A Stranger Experience.

Part I: Strangers Crossing Paths

"WE ARE OVER!" I said. Grabbing all my personal stuff, going out of the apartment. I didn't regret anything at all that day when I left him. Though it was a 6 year relationship, I just couldn't take it anymore. After I moved out, I decided to get out of country to travel somewhere far where no one would find me, where no one knows me and where I can be Free.

'It has been a years since I've been in this country. Life has been going good so far! I've made friends with the locals, learned abit about their culture and even enrolled in an art school recently! I do miss home... but I just can't bare to leave this place! Sorry Mom, guess I'll have to visit you next year or so. Anyway, hope to hear from you soon! I really miss you Mom.
From: Your Loving Daughter.'

I turned off my laptop and thought to myself, Damn, I really miss Mom and the people at home. I went off to bed after I was done writing my e-mail to Mom and hopefully, this time it will send throught; useless internet.

Next day, I went to a cafè nearest to my art school. When it was my turn to order, a stranger behind me didn't notice it wasn't his turn to order and we both said to the counter "one Mocha Frappe 70% sugar level with whip cream!" I turned around and we stared at each other. There was this awkward silence. Like that time I was in the toilet there was this boy who walked in and found out he was in the wrong toilet. Trying to break the awkward silence, I gave the stranger a smile and he too smiled back.

I still had plenty of time before art school starts so I'd decided to head to the famous Art musuem. While looking at one of the artpiece, I felt a familiar presence I looked to my left and realised, it was the same stranger at the cafè. Only this time, we didn't take so long to break the awkwardness. Both of us smiles and walked passed each other in the different directions.

It was time for school. It was my first year there and I had alot of problems looking for my class. I was getting late for class so I started walking super fast. I wasn't paying to my surroundings and a few second later... 'BANG!' I bumped into someone and all my files dropped. Me and the person I bumped into started picking up my stuff. When I looked up, wanting to thank the person, I frozed for a second.

There we were. In the middle of the hallway. Me. My Files. And...
The stranger who I kept passing by. At that point of time it was as if there was only two of us, and finally he decided to be the one to break the silence.

"Hi." He said.
