The aroma of roasted and ground coffee beans floats in the air. The warm atmosphere inside the store contrasts with the cold weather of the rain falling outside.
In a small coffee shop Under an apartment Thomas was sitting at a table near the store window sipping coffee. Eyes on the rain falling outside the shop, he grabbed a glass of espresso and took a sip before lowering his head to write something in his notebook.
The coffee shop at six o'clock in the morning was relatively empty of people. There were a few customers who came in to buy coffee and then left. As far as Thomas could see, there was only Thomas, the only customer in the store, along with one or two counter employees.
It is now 6.25 a.m.
Thomas can't sleep..
In fact, he hadn't slept yet. He hadn't slept since last night because he had to do a biology report for the professor. Page, tired of having Thomas, decided to sit and rest her head and sip coffee at the coffee shop under his apartment.
Thomas took another sip of the espresso in his hand. He closed his eyes and raised his hand to gently massage his temple.
"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmm"
'Damn, how many days have I been stuck on this job?' Thomas thought.
He should have done this job earlier. As Newt said So you don't have to sit and stress about date lines that start to come closer every day.
Jingle ng ng ng
The door bell in front of the store rang.
Thomas opened his eyes and glanced at his watch.
6.30 a.m.
Thomas closed his eyes again.
The sound of a new customer chatting with an employee could be heard in the store. Thomas let the chatter pass by his ears. He couldn't remember what that conversation was like. After a while, Thomas heard the bell on the store door ring again. Then the atmosphere in the shop became quiet again.
'Probably just come in and buy a coffee and go,' he thought.
The Glade Cafe'
This is probably the first time that Thomas has ever come to drink coffee at this shop. Because most of the time the opening hours of this shop and the hours that Thomas wakes up don't match up much.
This is probably because he tends to sleep during the day and wakes up at night. Plus many more. Classes in his field of study tended to involve mostly late-night lab work. As a result, Thomas has no chance to stop by here even though this shop is under his apartment.
However, he had begun to like the taste of the coffee at this shop. Even though it's the first time I've eaten here.
Moreover, the atmosphere in the shop he likes. The sound of music playing softly Accompanied by the sound of grinding coffee beans that emit a fragrant aroma. It spreads throughout the store.
'I guess I must thank the professor. The page that brought him here...'
He smiled and laughed at his own thoughts.
Thomas slowly opened his eyes...
And then Thomas found out ..The chair across from him was no longer empty.
The previously empty seat in front was replaced by an Asian man with a cup of coffee.
Thomas wondered when this man had been sitting here. And why do you have to sit in front of him? There are many other spaces in the store.
Thomas made eye contact with the man immediately after opening his eyes. There is no conversation. occurs between two people
suddenly
The person in front of him suddenly smiled.
Thomas was helpless.
But then he smiled back. Before trying to control his heart to slow down. After it suddenly started to throb faster as the man smiled at him.
'um'
'Thank you to Prof. It's really a page :)' Thomas thought.
It's finished...
