"Carla's Coffee"

-November 3rd 2018-

So... let's get back to my story, this was the story when i met a girl in a coffee shop, i think it was 6 or 5 months ago.. this girl always do something silly that caught my attention, she always bring her laptop with her, and wrote something..


She wore glasses, and a colourful bracelet, and she always wear a blue cloths, not too light and not too dark blue, i guess it was a cyan? i don't know but i'm sure it was something like that.
and she always ordered a cup of a coffee milk with a little brown sugar in it.


When she was bored, she will do somethings silly, like folding a tissue into a swan like an origami, or plug in her earphone and smile, i don't know why she was smiling but it was cute i think haha..


It was rainy day that time, i was sitting there enjoying my coffee.. and what i've been waiting for is coming into the store, the girl that i don't even know her name, folding her cyan umbrella, i was wondering "she really like cyan didn't she?." and as always she ordered the coffee milk with a little brown sugar in it. but this time she didn't bring her laptop, i wonder why?.. so i spontaneously asked it to her, "hey, you didn't bring your laptop today?." her face was confused, well that makes senses because why did stranger ask that question? i'm a freak i know that (-_-)... and then she answer it "ouh, my laptop yeah, i don't need it anymore." she says it normally, i guess i'm too overthink too talk to her. and the conversations over.


That was my first talk to her, that rainy day changed everything. thanks to her laptop lol... but i wish i talk to her longer that day, i'm so curious about her, and i still didn't get her name..


Later that day, when i was playing games in my phone, suddenly she stood in front of me asking "hey, can i sit here? i'm really really bored." wow, i don't know if its called lucky, but i think it's a miracle hahaha.., "sure you can, i'm getting bored too you know." and then she sat in the chair right in front of me. that time is really joyful, she's funny, sometimes it become awkward, sometimes it's just silent. but i'm really enjoying that conversation, and now i know her name, her name is carla.


Carla work as a designer, that's why she always bring a laptop with her everytime. so after that day, i ask carla for her number, and she gave it. you know i have this "3 days rule" it is a rule if you met a girl, then you has her number, don't communicate with her before 3 days. why does i do that? because in my experience, if you get a number, then you chat her right after when you get home, it'll didn't work, because the atmosphere after the conversation before is still there, and that will be awkward. that's why i'll wait for 3 days before contacting her..


Today i brace myself to chat her, then i ask her out for a dinner , well you know just another casual date i want to ask her, i'm just a normal guy tho. until... she's the one who ask me out first, she ask me to go to the archery range... my reaction like, "what the hell??.." then i agreed with her, and go for a amazing date with an amazing girl.


So i pick her up in someplace i told her, that day was a such nice day, a very perfect day to go for a date, we went to a hill because the archery range is up in the hill. it is a nice place, calm, a little bit windy, there's so much horse right there, and it's so... hugee.., we take the equipment and started the thing, i was an amateur, didn't know how to use a bow and how to take the aim, so she teach me, because amazingly she was a retired athlete i was so amazed back then..


yeah.. we were having fun, after the activity we take a break a little bit with some afternoon tea, it was a classy date i think, i feel like a noble for one day haha..


after the date, we oftenly met in the coffee shop, talk about everything.. she was suprisingly funny and in the sametime she can talk seriously, about politics, human race, global warming, etc. and i was excited when she talk about it.. back then i feel that she's the one, i have to be with her.. that was what im thinking before... something happens..


it was saturday morning, a very calm saturday morning, i went to the coffee shop hoping that she were there. i'm waiting her while enjoying my morning coffee. i'm waiting, waiting, and still waiting, and she still didn't came. that's very unusual, there's no chat coming from her, so i decided to visit her at her apartment.


i've arrived at her apartment and ringing the door bell, but no answer from her, so i decided to call her but she hung up, maybe i was just dreaming that i could get her. i knew it was awful, it broke me so hard, i never in touch with her anymore.. wishing one day she will appear, i still came to that coffeee shop..


i still visit the coffee shop, enjoying my coffee and still remember that girl, to be honest i think i didn't do anything wrong while we met, i don't know why she left without telling me..


and that day, i was sitting alone, drinking my coffee and made a swan from a tissue paper.
