For 10 minutes, neither of us speaks. I decided to break the silence.
"So... I see you have a habit of staying late at night.." I said like a statement.
"Do you always stay here? I mean in any 711 stores?" I continue
She did not respond, but she looks like she's looking something on her backpack.
"Last time I also saw you having coffee at 711 near bus stop.." I continue. She didn't seem to like my questions so I decided to shut up and stare above the skies. The stars are bright, I thought.
"It's the second time I've been at this kind of store and I'm kinda liking it?" She said like she's thinking something else. "They have almost anything earth people would need." She added
Then she looks me in the eyes with a blank stare, but I look away.
My heart beats fast.
Why does she always do this kind of thing.
"I don't like staying here" and she looks around. Maybe she's referring to his convenience store or the trashes around.
"I'm here because I need to see you," she added
"Me? How do you know I'll be walking this direction? What if I walk that way, then you will end up waiting here till morning" I chuckled
"No. " She coldly replies
"What do you mean by 'No'?" This woman is something
"Tell me the reason why you decided to visit this store? You could have walked that way," she said while pointing in the other direction. "That is the fastest way to the bus station" she added
"I dunno?" I began wondering. I rarely take this direction because it's a very long walk to bus station plus I don't like walking places with many people.
"Maybe I want to have ice cream?" I answer
"Then why did you pick this specific store?" she asked
"You know.. umm.. because its more affordable" I replied
"Plus, it just pops in my mind" I added
She stares at me like she's asking for more explanation.
"Why do you keep following me?" I sincerely ask
She looks away. "I told you, I'm following my heart. And I call you tonight because I need your help." She sound so sincere
"Then tell me how can I help you" I ask
"It'll be hard... but I want you to believe in me first" She reply
