The Chapters Before Us

My life's was great as how it was. I was overall contented.

"Ms. Jamie! There's a guest outside looking for you. Would you please come out for a sec.? -Ysa, our front desk supervisor.

"Sure, give me a minute just to print this." I replied. I tapped one of our trainees and asked her to send the printed copies to the concierge, and to have it sent to RM 601. After giving a quick call to the concierge department regarding the document to be sent, I checked if I have my business card, then rushed out for the waiting guest. I hope it isn't a complaint.

I smelled the subtle mix of Tulips with our hotel signature scent the moment I stepped out of the back office. As I traced the scent, it ended up with a familiar face. That smile is still the same 9 years ago. No, even 17years ago. It is still as warm and silly.

"Hey! Surprise." He said. "This, is your favorite. I know you're still busy but I just wanted to see you as soon as I landed. I hope you can make time for me later." he kept on talking while I was still lost in my own thoughts if this is a daydream or my imagination. I was trying to tell him to slow down with whatever he was saying but he wouldn't just stop. All I remembered was "I'll pick you up by 8pm, I reserved a table for us. We have a lot of catching up to do."

They say, each of our lives has a story to be written. Each step plays an important role for someone's chapter. These days, I was sure of who are the characters of my book. Him in front of me now, does this mean he's a character again? What happened to the chapters before Today's.
