I was walking around the streets just to make time flies fast. I was alone in my house because I don't have a family. If you're wondering where they are.... hmmm can I just say I don't know?haha funny right? I was an orphan, I grew up at the orphanage where nuns are the one who's taking care to those children who doesn't have family just like me. They provides what we need, foods, education and now...freedom.
I graduated Bachelor of science in business administration(BsBA). That was my chosen course, not because i was genius in math but I love handling business just like what I am doing. I owned a café and I named it Café Dahliana.
"Ouch!" I suddenly bumped into someone. I was about to shout to him but he walked fast and shouted 'SORRY'. I was irritated of course, but it was also my fault. I was walking along the street,spaced out.
When I arrived at my café, my staffs greeted me and continued to do what they're doing. I went straight to my office to work. I was thinking for another recipé and another concept that can make my café more popular.
"YOU DUMP HIM!"
My best friend suddenly showed up with a face looks like a demon.
"My Goodness Dahlia Isabella! You're hopeless!" she said after sitting on the couch in front of my working table.
"Why are you angry? I already told you that I don't want that blind date. I am happy as a clam right now without any man in my life!"I said while looking at the laptop.
"I know, but can you please try? What if it worked? I mean that'll make you even more happy. Come on, Lia!" she said.
"Let me think about it. By the way, let's talk about my new recipe.Wanna try it?" I changed the topic. Hoping that it will work but it doesn't.
"Do not change the topic Dahlia!"
"Ok finee! Just one! Alright?One try!" I said while raising my hands. My friend smile because she knew that I can't say no to her when she's pissed off.
"When are you free?" she asked immediately
"Let me check my sched—"
"I'll check your schedule." she cut me off. "Soo, what time are you free you little witch?"she said while looking at my schedule paper.
"March 25. Alright I'll text you what time and where. See yah my friend. Don't embarrass me this time please." She said and walked away from my office. I laughed. We really have different attitude of my best friend, Antonette. Maybe that's the reason why we're still friends until now.
It was 10 in the evening, closing time of my Café. My staffs are already done with their work so I decided to pack my things up so we can all go together. Me and my staffs parted our ways when we reach the intersection. Others turned left and others turned right while I am going straight. My house is not that far from my café that's why I rarely use my car. It took 5 minutes walk before I arrived at my house.
I washed my self first and went down to the kitchen to cook my dinner. I decided to just cook chicken adobo since I am alone. After eating I brushed my teeth and went straight to my bedroom. I opened my phone and I received a message from Antonette.
from: Antonette
6:30pm, at my restaurant.
Seeyahhh!:))
I replied 'alright' and I lied myself down to my bed. A minutes later a dark filled my whole system.
Days passed and it's already March 25. I am hesitating to go but I made a promise to my friend that this'll be the first and last so I need to go.
I was preparing my clothes, the avocado green loose dress, a pair of 2inches heels, and a handbag. I don't know if I am over dressed or what it's just that I am comfortable wearing a clothes like this. After that I put light make up on, a blush, eyelashes, liptint and a powder.
A minutes after I finished arranging myself, I went out to go to my car and proceed to the place where my blind date is.
Once I enter the restaurant, a staff asked me if I have a reservation and I said to her that I am the owners friend. She apologizes for not knowing me and informed me that she was just new staff. I told her that it was fine and just don't mind me. After that she left me and I walked straight to the office of my friend. She's busy talking to someone.
I cleared my throat to catch their attention. "Uhm, Excuse me may I have a moment?"
My friend's eyes widened after she saw me. It looks like she's really surprised to saw me standing here in her restaurant and properly dressed for my date.
"Oh. My. God!" She exclaimed "Am I dreaming?" She repeatedly slap her own face that makes me roll my eyes while laughing.
"You're overreacting, Antonette!" I told her. I rolled my eyes once again but my eyes saw a figure of someone familiar. He looks like someone I knew but I don't know where did I saw this person and when. It's just that he's so familiar that my heart trembled so bad.
"Uhm, before I forgot." Tonette faced me . "I want to introduce you to Adrienne. He's your blind date. And Adrienne, this is Dahliana, my very best friend."
Adrienne and I just stare at each other. No one talks and move. The office filled with deafening silence.
"EHEM!" Antonette broke the silence. "Did you two knew each others already?"she asked.
"No, it's just that he's familiar. Maybe I saw him to somewhere." I said.
"No, we didn't know each other, but...."he cut what he's going to say.
"But?" Me and Tonette asked.
"Hi Dahliana, I was the one who messaged you that I saw you on my dream."
