"What brings you here everyday." An unfamiliar voice cut my thoughts and i looked at the person, he looked familiar but i don't know him personally. "I'm looking for someone." i replied while still looking around. "Who is it? I can help."
I didn't know what to say i'm looking for someone i don't know he will think i'm crazy.. "A girl." That what i managed to say, he chuckled. "A girl hmmm what an interesting info about her, man i can't help you if i only know that she is a girl, i see hundreds of them everyday here." He shrugged and looked at me. "And how are you so sure that you can help? " I said while still not looking at him. "I work here, and that's how i knew you come everyday. I assume you think i look familiar because you see me around often, that's why i know that you come everyday, i also know alot of people who come here but you never found the girl did you? You sit alone all the time." Why am i being stubborn if he knows all that about me maybe he also knows a thing or two about her, she is unique he can't  forget her. "The girl i'm looking for has a blue hair and she is beautiful, i don't know her name." Silence fell upon us for a moment, then i looked at him and he spoke finally. "I think i know who you are talking about, you don't see beautiful girls with blue hair everyday after all. She came here everyday too you know? But she stopped coming since the last week." My brain stormed with quick thoughts. Was she looking for me? Why did she stop coming? How did i not see her? How did she not see me? WHY DID SHE STOP COMING. "But did you know that her hair isn't blue anymore? It's purple now." Said the man cutting me from my thoughts once again, i stared at him for a moment. "When she used to come, what time exactly did she come here at?" I said while still staring at him feeling jealous that he got to see her more than i did. "Eh i don't know man, maybe around this time too." He said then we shared silence again "Give me your phone number and i will call you if i saw her." I gave him my number i really could use some help, specially from someone who works here and knows almost everyone. "What's your name?" "Peter." He said " Thanks peter i appreciate your help, see you tomorrow." I thought it's time for me to go knowing that she won't show up anyway.  "Wait! Don't come tomorrow buddy you need some rest, if i saw her i will call you don't worry. " He was right i spent almost a month just looking for her, and it affected alot of things in my life specially my job. "You are right, thanks man." A slight smile appeared on my face, we waved goodbye then i went back home.
**After Kevin left**
"Thank you peter here you go Fifty dollars as i promised." Peter took the money but seemed sad. "Why don't you want him to find you? This man is deeply in love with you." He shook his head at the woman. She looked away. "It's better that way for him ,believe me my life is a mess." Said Bella "Not to be such a nosey person, but i think he needs this mess in his life. Let him find you, let him decide whether it's better for him or not." Bella looked at the floor for a moment and then looked at Peter "Bye peter, thanks for making him stay away." And then she left. Peter felt guilty because he knows what it feels like to love someone deeply, but he needed the money. Christmas is almost here and he has kids that want gifts and food, so he would accept every dollar that comes his way.
