ANNIE POV

"Are you working near here Arthur ?" I'm breaking silence. He just smile "hmm .. not really, just passing by then I see you sit here alone .. and here I am". I just nodded and open my sandwich. "Do you want ?"  while holding the sandwich. He shook his head and said "No ... you eat it". I divide the sandwich then giving him "here ... eat this" He look shocked. I laugh "Heii .. I not poison it... just eat it ... I like to share".He take the sandwich then eat it.

"Do you mind if I'm asking ?" he asked me. "Sure, what's it ? I'm chewing the sandwich. "why you here alone ?" He said looking at my eyes. I feel flush in my cheek, looking at the park watching people walking. I close my eyes

"I like here, alone, just watching people walk or smell the air".

He take a deep breath then whisper "you different from all the women I meet".

I look at him "how come ? I'm just like the other normall women" I giggle.

"I don't know you just different" he's look sad in his eyes.

I sigh then look at his eyes "Arthur sorry to say, I'm kinda straight forward person, I don't know you, but in a few days we always meet several time, I don't know what do you want and I don't know what the hell are you doing here".

For the moment we keep staring, tension getting hotter then he broke the ice  "I don't know either what I'm doing. But from the first time I met you. I found you fascinating. I just want to know you more. Can we ?".

My hear beat faster. I don't know what I'm supposed to say and think. For a long time I only devoted to Anthony my died husband. "I just don't know, I can't give you an answer. But honestly, why don't we be friend first ?" I'm trying to be honest with him

. He look relieved "I can be like that" he smiled.

"Sorry, I have to go back to library"  I says. We stand together, he smile "thank you for today, thank you for letting me in, even though as friend".

I just wave my hand "see you Arthur". I walk back to the library, doing my duty. When I look at my wristwatch its already 4 noon. I grab my bag and pick my lovely daughter.

"Mommmm ... " Mia shout. "Honey, how's today ?" I smile at her while giving her helmet. "Nothing special Mom, expect saturday Edward asking me to go out watching movie, can I go with him ?" She's giving me a puppy eyes.

I laugh at her nodded  "sure, why not, just remember, your a girl, responsible with your self okay".

Then she grab my hand, she look thinking for a while then says "Moom, why don't you come with me watch movie ?" I looked her curious "heiii ... who wants her date ruin by her mom ?"

Mia giggle "No mom ... Its kinda fun ... come on Moom .. join with me and Edward... owkayy Mom ?".

I pretend to think, "ask Edward first darling, if he okay then I join with both of you". "Yess" she said and take out her handphone to text Edward. My god, my little baby, I just smile looking at her. Starting my motorcycle then going home with my lovely Mia.

Its Saturday, Mia look nice with her floral dress. I just wearing jeans and t- shirt. Helloow, I'm just accompany my baby with her date, no need to looking good right. "Mom, are you sure you gonna wear that?" Mia looking me with horror.

I smile to her "Hei I'm just a cool Mom who join her lovely daughter dating". Mia rolled her eyes "whatever Mom". I put my hand on her shoulder then grab my helmet and give her helmet "come, let go. Edward already waiting.

When we arrives, Edward waves his hands, "Hi Mrs Edison, how are you ?".
