CHAPTER 4

Jake's POV -

I was leaving after an hour. We were at the airport. I held my luggage, thinking only one sentence - "I shall live a perfect life from now on. It's not like I have cut ties with my family".

"Hey.....your plane arrived" Nicholas exclaimed. He was not happy. What could I do? I did not want to be a burden to him and his parents.

I bade them goodbye and hugged all of them. I went and boarded the plane thinking "I hope uncle can talk to my mom and dad well and can make them understand".

My trip went well, actually.
I slept almost the whole time, feeling free of all tension. It was then when an air hostess woke me up gently to inform that the plane is about to land. I thought to myself "Wait, did I sleep that much?"

After landing, I came out and booked a taxi to a hotel. Nicholas's father gave me money to check in. I decided I would visit the restaurant tomorrow and the new school, maybe in a day or two to confirm my admission.

I fell on my bed. I wasn't sleepy, I was tired. Without arranging anything, I fell asleep even after such a long time of sleep.

At 4o'clock, I woke up. I couldn't sleep any more even when I tried changing positions. So, I thought "why not get ready".

I arranged my clothes well quickly and wore a white shirt with a loose brown sweater on top and black pants.

I went out and hopped on a taxi to the place I would be working part-time.

"Brown Sugar café" I read out the title.

(Ik it's weird)

Looking at my watch, I noticed that it was too early to open. But, it was open slightly. I mean, there were no people but it was open. I could see a faint light glowing from outside.
I thought "oh there might be someone inside. I should talk to that person".

"Hello?" I said as I reached near the person, or more like, I reached her .

"Oh how may I help you? I'm really sorry but you arrived too early" she added with her question.

"Uh....." That was the only thing that left my mouth. Seeing me keep so silent, she let out a light laugh.

Her laugh was as soft as a feather.....
