She arrived at the cafe, quickly lining up. It is a relief that there's not many people lining up, it's because it's just way too early, at least from what it seems. She has a chance to get inside the café.

Quickly fishing for her camera she brought with her. She took a picture of the line from her point of view, then the café. Adjusting the camera setting as it is still dark outside.

She's not a professional but you could say she takes photographs with aesthetic as people of this generation would say.

After taking a few pictures she's satisfied with. She then fixes her camera settings again for when the sun starts rising she could immediately capture its beauty.

As she fixes her camera, she hears a tiring huffs of breathes, two or three people from behind her. It was a loud catching of short breathes then a long one.

She couldn't help but chuckles hearing the complains in between the persons breathing. They probably thought they wouldn't make it in time, which makes sense considering how many people would plan to go.

"Phew~ I totally shoud start exercising." She heard from behind.

It was a voice of a man. She heard the people behind her let out a chuckles as well.

It's a nice start of the day, she guess.

Not long after, the café opened. Letting twenty people in first as they have a specific number of customers to follow as it is a small place.

Fortunately, she made it within the twenty people. She smiles happily, once she got inside they were asked to take a sit and they would take their orders in a minute.

She immediately went towards the table next to those wide window glass to see the beautiful view people are dying to see. She takes a sit and looked outside.

Any minute now, the sky would slowly turns from dark to bright. Showing the process of the waking sun, letting the people who came to see its glory to start their day right.

The waiter had taken her order, not long after. While she admires the slowly changing surroundings she heard a light cough from her side.

She quickly turns her heard to its direction. There stood a man, wearing a very friendly expressions yet a little embarrass.

She gave a small smile towards the man.

"Uhm, Do you mind if I share the table with you? The others are already occupied." He politely asked, cheeks and ears slowly turning in a lighly shade of pink. Shy? Embarrass, perhaps?

It only took a second for her to grab her bag from the seat that was once occupied by her bag, placing it onto her lap.

"No. Take a seat." She gave him a friendly smiles. He bowed in returns.

"Thank you."

Their order was served. The horizon turning from dark to a faint shade of florid orange, indicating that the sun is waking up from its slumber.

She quickly takes her camera. Capturing its beauty, as if in time lapse but in photograph form. The faintly shade of orange now deeply visible as the sun's bright light bleaks beaming across the horizon, clouds surrounding it overlaps, a new day is starting. She waste no time in capturing the subject.

It was indeed beautiful. It was beyond beautiful. As a woman who appreciates the sunsets more, she couldn't deny the magnificent magic of the sun rising beautifully before her eyes.

For some reason she became teary. She doesn't know why. Maybe because she never bothers waking up so early in the morning to greet the new day starting.

Or maybe because she thinks she wouldn't be able to see the beautiful day unwrapping before her again?

Who knows?

She immediately stood up from her seat, positioning herself a few metres from the table to capture the sun positioned exactly at the middle of her view, creating a beautiful silhouette of the coffee mug, the table and chair, the plant behind the chair and the man sitting on the other seat looking at the view, small rays here and there.

It was beautiful. The view was beautiful.

She looked at the photo, smiling and nodding to herself. Everything suited together.

She returns to her seat to take a photo of her coffee with its thin hot steam floating in the air, then the interior of the café. It's not fancy with all the chandelier lights and over decorated stuffs for it to be seems like a famous café or anything. It was rather warm, cozy with its old looking decorations. Vintage. 60's style.

She likes it.

"Are you not going to drink your coffee? It's going to get cold, you know?" The man in front asked in wonder. She turns her head towards him, putting down the camera she's holding.

"Sorry." She wears a small smile, bowing a little.

He was a little shocked with her answer.

"Oh no. Don't be sorry. I'm just reminding you. A friendly reminder." He smiles as he waves his hands in the air. Eyes turning into a crescents.

She finds it cute.

She took a sip of her coffee, tasting every beans brewed put in it as she finds her eyes traveling at the gentleman infront of her, little did she know, he was already looking at her with a smile plastered on his face. Enjoying the view out in the horizon as well as the beautiful view in front of him.

Her cheeks started turning pink, slightly choking on the hot coffee she was drinking. Eye contacts she quickly turns away. She coughed. He just chuckles in amusement as he drinks his coffee to perfection.
