Chapter 06 - Together With You Part 2

Newwiee's eyes are fixed to his bed. He's trying to choose what to whereupon going outside to have lunch with Tay. He's been standing by the bottom of his when after the waiter picked up the dishes. Above his bed is clothes that have been scattered having a mix and match.

He's been having a nauseous feeling for a while. He's excited at the same time nervous on what will happen once he's outside. Has he always been like that? How long has it been since the last time he went out when the sun is out?

New picked a light pink shirt with cat print and denim pants. He thought that it was just a normal meal between friends. Then he went to his shoe rack and decided to use his white shoes. He stands in front of his mirror to see the final look. He nodded with satisfaction.

Newwiee took a deep breath before opening his door. And another. And another. And another. As he steps outside his room, he took another one. Why is it that he took so long opening his door? He looked at his wristwatch and it's still too early to their planned lunch. But still decided to hop on the elevator. Just gonna take a little stroll.

As he stepped out from the elevator, he can see the shocked face of staffs. They are very much aware that this is not the time for him to be outside. Not the right time that he usually decide. He just gives them a shyly smile and go to the nearest cafe.

New is sitting by the very corner of the cafe. Thankfully the wall is made of glass that he can still see what's in front of him. Sipping his sweet juice, recommended by the waiter of the cafe, he looked down on his notes. He's been holding his notebook every time he thinks of an idea he wanted to implement on the resort. Some of his ideas are his. Like the string of lights during nighttime. That was his favorite.

"Excuse me." Hearing a girl's voice and looked up. Standing near him is a petite girl wearing very short shorts and an oversized shirt. He looked at her from head to toe and she looks normal.

New doesn't feel anything special at all. 

"Can I sit here? There's no available table."

He roams his eyes around the cafe and able to see free tables that made his eyebrows bring together. He looked back to the girl to ask her about the other tables.

"Reserved." The girl reasoned out.

He doesn't want to be rude and just nodded. She sits to the chair opposite him with a wide smile and not leaving his eyes on him. He feels awkward by the girl's behavior. He just decided to focus on writing and sip his juice to cool him down.

"What are you writing?" The girl asks and leaned towards him. He quickly closed his notebook and looked and looked down. "I'm sorry." The girl apologizes and touched his arm that's resting on the table.

Newwiee is feeling uncomfortable already. He wanted to toss the girl's hand from his arm but doesn't want to offend her. He just freezes where he's sitting with a blank mind. He doesn't know what to do anymore. Can just someone take this girl away from him?

Leave  me alone!!! If only he's confident enough to do that. He just bowed his head for him to unable to see what's in front of him.

"New!?" He knows that voice. He quickly looked for that person and stood up when finally see where he is. He waved his hand to make sure he can see him.

"P'Tay!!!" Calling the guy with a wide smile on his face. The girl in front of him is already invisible for Newwiee as he walks where Tay is.

"I didn't know you're meeting someone." Tay said when he's already in front of him. With a frowned face, he looked back to his seat. Finally realizing that the girl is still there and looking at direction.
