At night when Fin was writing his novel a message appeared on his phone but he ignored that message
But later he remembered that Anjulie told him that she would text him at night so he quickly opened his phone and checked
And it was Anjulie "...Hey, are you going to the library tomorrow?..." she asked him in the text, he took a sigh "Does she want to come?" He thought
"...Why?.." he texted her "... Because I want to come..." She texted back, he took a sigh "...Why?..." He asked "... Because I love the view..." She replied
"...What view?..." He asked "...Hey I thought you went there everyday?..." She asked "...Yeah I go there everyday, so?..." He replied
"...Have you never noticed that beautiful view you can see through the window huh?!?!..." She asked
"What is she talking about?" He thought "...No..." He replied "...What?!! It doesn't matter. I will wait for you outside the library, okay?..." She texted
"...Hmm..." He replied "...And there is someone I wanted you to meet, but it can't happen tomorrow I guess..." She texted
"...what?!..." He asked "...Nothing..." She replied "...ok bye..." He texted "... why?..." She asked "... Because I don't want to talk..." He texted
"...oh ok bye I also have some work to do..." She replied "...ok..." He replied and then he put his phone on the desk
Anjulie who was lying on her bed was watching the messages that she and Fin shared
"He is being so rude isn't he?" She asked to herself then she looked at her messenger where there were many people whom she texted, including Riru, Ansia, Harith, Lim but now she only texted two people
They are Fin and Hoen, and before sending a message to Fin she actually texted Hoen saying hello, but he didn't reply
"Should I call him?" She thought. Then she opened recent calls where Hoen's number was, and she called him
Hoen who was sitting in his chair but was actually sleeping, had many books and a notebook open on the desk
Then his phone started to ring, and he woke up. He received the call, "Hello," he responded in his sleepy voice
"Hey what are you doing? You sound sleepy..." She asked excitedly, he realized that it's Anjulie. "Hmm... Oh! It's you," he replied, not showing much interest, as he was still sleepy
"Were you sleeping?" She asked him "yeah kind of" he said his eyes were closed "oh! But at this hour?" She said while looking at the time '08:09 A.M.'
"Hmm... Nah I was actually studying" he said while taking a snarl "oh! Then why do you sound so sleepy?" She asked "hmm?.. I fell asleep" he muttered
"You sound cute" she said while smiling, he was surprised and opened his eyes "Huh?!... Cute? Me?!" He asked hesitantly
"Yeah" she said. He chuckled. "By the way, what are you doing?" He asked her. She sat on her bed. "Nothing... Are you free tomorrow?" She asked him while playing with her hair
He smiled. "No!... I told you that I will let you know whenever I'm free," he said. His voice was soft and gentle
At morning Anjulie was standing infront of the library like she was waiting for someone "why is he so late?" She thought
She was wearing a long sleeve green shirt and it was tugged in her baggy white jeans and she was wearing a crocks and there were some white lines in her green shirt
While she was standing there waiting for someone, a guy came out of the library "Anjulie?!" The guy called her name, and when she looked behind, it was Hoen
He was kind of surprised to see her there, she smiled after seeing him, happy yet surprised to see him
"You? Are you here to study?" She asked him, he was wearing a half sleeve green shirt which was unbuttoned and under the shirt he was wearing a black tshirt and below he was wearing a black shorts
He shook his head as no "no I'm not here to study" he answered and he went towards her and stood next to her, they both were looking at each other's face
"Then, are you here to buy books or what?!" She again asked him, noticing his shiny black hair in the sunlight "no!... I actually work here," he answered
She was quite shocked to hear that "what?! You work at a library aswell?" She asked, she was kind of surprised to see a young guy like him working at two places
He nodded yes after hearing her question "by the way, are you waiting for someone?" He asked her, his soft and kind voice reached her ears
"Yeah," she replied, he smiled "Anjulie?!..." A guy whose voice was deep but gentle called her name, and when she looked to the other side. It was Fin
She was happy to see him there. "Hey you came at a good time," she said, Hoen was only looking at her back then he looked at Fin
Fin was wearing a black jacket, and under that jacket, he was wearing a black tshirt. He was also wearing black baggy jeans
"Do you know that guy?" Hoen asked her, and she looked back at him. "Yeah, I was waiting for him," she replied, he was only looking at her eyes filled with happiness
"Oh! Is that so?" He muttered, then he looked at Fin, and she also looked at Fin. "Who is he?" Fin asked her
She smiled. "My friend," she replied with a beautiful smile on her face, and the bright sunlight was making her face look like a star
"Oh!" Fin muttered then he also took a good look at Hoen they both were looking at each
other
"How many friends does she have?" Fin thought and he was only staring at Hoen "how do they know each other are they close?" Hoen thought
She looked at both of their faces she was in the middle of their gaze "oh! Fin you know I told you yesterday that I wanted you to meet with someone, so... It's him." She said breaking the silence
"Huh?!" Fin was kind of shocked by hearing that. "By the way can I know since when you two know each other?" Hoen asked to both of them
Both of them looked at him. Fin was kind of embarrassed to say, but Anjulie, she smiled "I met with him yesterday" she replied, Hoen was shocked to know that and Fin was shocked as well
"Are you sane?!" Hoen asked her with surprised expression "what?" She asked, she was kinda confused
"Did you made all the people your friend whom you met with yesterday?!" Hoen asked her, Fin was kind of confused to hearing this "what does he mean?" Fin thought
Anjulie looked at him with a smile "nah!... I only made two of you my friend yesterday" she replied, both Hoen and Fin were shocked to hear that
"So?... She made him her friend only yesterday" Fin thought, Hoen was only looking at her eyes which was staring him and then he took a sigh
"By the way are you free Hoen?" She asked Hoen, he shook his head as no "I'm not free" he replied "oh ok then" she muttered
"You know I'm here to write in the library not to talk outside of the library if you want to come with me then you can or else I'm going" Fin said and he started to walk towards the library
Anjulie looked at him "hey wait for me!! Ok bye Hoen" she said bye to Hoen and she started to walk then Hoen looked at her
"Hey!" Hoen called her and then he holds Anjulie's hand gently and Fin looked back he was standing at the library's door
His grip was soft and gentle which was not letting her go his eyes were soft and became even more kinder than before, she was only looking at his eyes
"I will come too" he muttered and she nodded in aggreement, they were only looking at eachothers eyes
Fin who was writing his novel in the library and he was sitting near the window and Anjulie and Hoen were sitting next to eachother
Anjulie was only looking outside the window and Hoen was looking at the bookshelves, the bookshelves were 8 inches big
"I thought you were busy" she suddenly started to talk softly not making that much sound, he quickly looked at her face, "I was but not now" he replied in his low, firm voice, she looked at him and she smiled
Fin was only focusing on writing his novel "you shouldn't work all the time as well" she said to him "hmm..."
"By the way do you come here everyday?" Hoen asked her, his voice lingered in her ears "no!... I don't, I only come today to watch this beautiful view" she answered and she looked outside the window
The view was the same as the last time: the park and the lake, which was being divided by the road and the road which was some inches above the lake
There were swans in the lake as well their white feathers, which were way too beautiful as was the dazzling sunlight falling on the swans and on the water
"It is quite beautiful you know" she said to him "yeah," he muttered. Then he looked at her face, which was only admiring the view outside the window
Then he looked at Fin, who was engrossed in writing his novel, ignoring his surroundings
"I have a question" Hoen said while looking at Fin, Fin acted like he didn't even hear what Hoen said and Anjulie looked at him "hmm... What?"
"The question is not for you but for him" Hoen said while looking at Fin now Fin got distracted and looked at him
"What?" Fin asked him, they both were looking at each other's face "by any chance do you like Anjulie?" He asked. There was no hesitation on his face
Anjulie freaked out after hearing this question, Fin was looking at him "No! Why?" He answered but he asked a question as well
Anjulie felt relieved after hearing his answer "No it's just I was wondering why would a man like you would hangout with a woman?" Hoen replied, he was only staring at Fin
"What do you mean?" He stopped writing "hey? We're friends that's why we hangout together" she said to him
Hoen looked at her "don't forget that you guys became friends only yesterday" he said to them
Both of their eyes were only focused on him "it's just she is full of positive energy as you know" Fin replied and he started to look at Anjulie
Hoen looked at Fin "Is this the only reason?" Hoen asked him, Fin then started to look outside the window
"Yeah... And anyway I'm not interested in her, I..." He didn't complete his sentence and he then takes a sigh and remembered the girl with red hair whom he Just can't forget
Hoen was only looking at his face and Anjulie as well and then she looked at Hoen "see... Did you hear what he said?!" She asked him
"To be honest I love to enjoy hangout with her... Afterall for now she is the only friend which I have" Fin said and then he smiled gently
Which made both of them shocked and he then looked at Hoen "what about you? What do you think about her?!" Fin asked Hoen
Hoen looked at Anjulie who was already looking at him "I... I'm glad to have someone like her in my life" Hoen replied and smiled
Anjulie was shocked to hear all this. "Don't make me emotional, you two" she said, hitting Hoen on his back
"So... Who was that guy?" The other guy asked Fin, Fin smiled, "He was another person who was working hard to survive in this world"
After some time, three of them were outside the library, and Fin waved his hand as farewell and left
Anjulie just smiled and left from there too. Hoen, who was following her "By the way... Are you free?" Hoen asked Anjulie
Anjulie looked at his face."Why?" She asked. He smiled gently, "I want you to come to my place. I will make something good for you..." Hoen replied
The sun was about to set and, Fin was looking at the bridge where he first saw the girl with red hair
He was sitting on the wood where he had been resting the first day when he saw that girl... He was desperately waiting for her to show up
"So... Just because you saw her there only two times you still went there to wait for her huh?!" The other guy asked while laughing
"Yeah because the only thing that I had was hope that she might show up there and that hope made me a Loverboy I guess" he laughed a little
"Did she come that day too..." The guy asked, Fin was amused by the question "let's find out together..." He smirked,
The golden ray of sunlight was falling on the water making it look golden, the cold breeze was blowing Fin's hair smoothly
"The winter is coming" he muttered, the leaves of the tree above him was all over the Lakeshore and was floating on the water as well
The noices of vehicles were filling that place, Fin was silently looking at the bridge above the lake
"Little things are pretty, isn't it?" He asked to himself and smiled, then suddenly he sensed someone's presence
Someone for whom he was waiting... He looked at her, the girl with red hair who came there again
But this time she was kinda different she tied her hair and she was wearing specks and a white tshirt and a baggy pink jeans and crocs
She entered the bridge and Fin's eyes were only on her and there was her friend as well, she was walking silently and she looked at the Lakeshore
Where there was Fin whose eyes were only on her... Both of their eyes met with eachother
Fin's heartbeat was fast at that time and the girl smiled while looking at him as she was smiling at him
Fin was way too shocked, his heart was beating way too fast than before and then the girl left from there with her friend
"What was that for?" The other guy asked him, Fin smiled "I don't know maybe it was for hope..."
