It's another typical Saturday, everybody is shopping to release their tension after working hard all weekdays. Nora took another sip of her soda then put it down beside her. A few seconds later, a guy sat on an empty sit on her right. It's bad enough that he obnoxiously turn on his music very loudly but he also drank Nora's soda, all the way down to the bottom. At first, Nora just ignore him and starts playing with her phone,randomly clicking on files and games, but then he started taking pictures of Nora.
Oh my God! This guy is so annoying! You're lucky I'm being very patience right now.
But, her impatience grew bigger as he started laughing at the pictures in his camera.
But, her impatience grew bigger as he started laughing at the pictures in his camera.
She has had it! He was laughing so hard. She stares directly into his eyes. He too gaze into her eyes. He smiles.
"You look great Nora." He tilt his head a little bit, like in the anime.
Her eyes bulges so big that she could pop her eyeballs out.
She stands up.
"How did you know my name!?" Nora shouted.
"Hmm... You seem surprised." He said,calmly.
"What!? Of course I am. Who are you!?"
He stands up and held out his right hand.
"Allow me to explain. I am..."
"What do you think you're doing? Get away from me!" She walks away.
"Nora, wait!" He shouted, but that what makes her walks even faster.
18.00 o'clock.
"Bonjour." Nora gave greetings to the caller.
"Hi Nora." The voice from the phone greets back.
Hmm... Sounds familiar. Nora recalls back her memory.
Aha! I got it!
"Wani? Is that you?" She guess with a smile.
"Hahaha. Yeah, this is me. I can't believe you could recognize my voice."
"OMG! Of course I can. I've known you my entire life. How did you get my number?"
"Surprise! Hehe. I will tell you at the reunion tonight. You are going right?"
"Hmm... I don't know. I had a weird day today. I'm don't feel like to go."
"Oh man~ Please~ I've miss you. Don't you miss all of your old friends? Please~"
"No. I do miss you guys.It's just... Umm... Okay,okay. I'll go."
"Yay! Okay. I'll see you there. I'll be wearing a black mask. Just in case you could not find me. Hehe."
"Okay. I'll be wearing a pink mask. See you there. Au revoir."
20.00 o'clock
Oh no! Oh no! I'm so late! Nora stops her car in front of the entrance and gave her car keys to the Concierge. She checks her phone while walking to the ballroom. 5 messages from Wani, and then, she stops in front of a door.
"Excuse me, miss." A guy in a uniform approaches her.
"Yes?"
"Are you Miss Nora?"
"Umm... Yes I am. How do you know?" Oh please, not another stalker.
"There's only 1 person who haven't arrive and I assume that she is you. Here is your goody bag and have a nice evening. Assalamualaikum." He packs his stuff and walks away.
Oh. Just an employee. What a relief.
As soon as she opens the door, all eyes are on her. She stood there froze, until...
"Nora! Over here!" Wani called from the other end of the ballroom.
Nora carefully walks to the direction, hopefully she won't fell and embarrassed herself.
As she reaches to Wani, a familiar figure appears beside Wani.
Ehh??? She tilted her head, confused. Those eyes...
Yes, what she remembers the most are the eyes. Those grey eyes that had made her fell in love with the owner, Akim, her first love.
As he about to take off his mask, the spotlights are on them. Her heart beats faster. She hasn't seen him in years. How will he look now?
Nora almost fainted when what she thought her ex, was actually the stalker she met earlier that day.
"Who..!? How...!? What is going on!?" She's asking random questions to everyone around her.
"Haha. You don't need to act surprised. Relax. Take a break for today. This is your reunion, is it not?" said Akim.
It is you. That accent. It's just the same as before. How can I not recognize you at the mall? I'm sorry... I was rude. Those words just came out of her thoughts. She didn't have the courage to say it out loud.
The song switches from "One thing" to "So close". Wani said to Nora that she's going to dance with her husband on the dance floor, alongside with her other peers who got married. At the table 1, there's only 2 people left: Nora and Akim. Since they can't dance, they just sit there, talking, reflecting their past, laughing and their night ends just like that.
Until, the next day...
