PROLOGUE:
The sun was just setting but everyone seems to be on a rush to get home. One scowling doctor was mumbling to herself as she trudge the way out of the parking lot, shivering slightly because, as idiotic as it sounds, she left her coat at work because she was so anxious to go to dinner. It was an impulsive decision she is now regretting and was about to turn around when she bumped into someone. She braced herself to hit the cold, hard floor, when the stranger grabbed her arm. She exhaled the breath she was holding and mumbled a small 'thanks' and 'sorry' to the stranger who was holding a phone to his ear and barely raised an eyebrow at her, turned around and continued to talk on the phone.
Embarrassed, she sprinted across the street out of the parking lot. Anxiousness came again and was, again, about to turn back when her phone rang. She looked at the caller ID and groaned "Honey, I can see you already, what are you doing?" the caller asked, amusement present in the voice "and without a coat on? Get in here now". Regrettably, she crossed the street towards the restaurant.
The door chimed as the woman strode in the restaurant, and welcomed the warmth inside. Now fidgeting, she glanced around the restaurant. The high ceiling draped with pastel colored velvets, the chandeliers hanging low on each table and the floor carpeted screamed rich to her. She fidgeted more and glanced around again then looked at the maître d' who was smiling at her then gave him her coat. "Welcome back, Miss" the maître d' greeted "this way please" and then she was led to a private booth overlooking the street. The man seated was dressed in black suit, 'he still looked the same' she regarded him fondly and even though his hair was graying he still exude handsomeness, he was busy talking in his phone. As she neared the booth, the man heard them, said his goodbyes on the phone, stood up and welcomed her with a smile.
"Dear" the man on the booth greeted as he kissed her cheeks. They both sat "I've been wanting to see you" he said. "Why didn't you meet me when you learned I came back?" he inquired with a put off face "and I had to set a meeting so that I can see you" she still stayed silent.
A waiter came and placed wine on their table and poured some in their flutes. "Complimentary to the chef's best friend" the waiter smiled then left. "So dear, you still not talking to me?" the man asked her as she leisurely sipped on the delicious wine. She still remained silent and looked outside on the thinning people on the street. "So, how are you and the Jun guy" He started again but then the waiter came to take their order. "I'll have beef steak, medium rare and calamari for the lady. Thank you" he answered for them then glanced back at her. "So..." his expression inquisitive, "We broke up." She said emotionless "Two months ago" she continued, mood darkening as she remembered the cheating bastard. "It's your fault so stop setting me up to different guys" she said finally after some long silence since her declaration. "I can find someone on my own, I'm not a kid anymore" She added.
The dinner ended with good atmosphere even though it stared rough. They got to tell each other how their lives went while they didn't see each other. When they parted, the guy took his phone and dialed someone. "Hey, it seems that I have to step up if I want my wish" he smirked. The other on the line answered "If it seems so. Anyways, I'm fine with it" and with that they hung up, each one humming a happy tune expecting something great in the future.
