Chapter 2.
My Dove.
I walked to the counter and paid the food and drinks that I ordered. I grinned at the lady as I paid it and she said something at me.
"Darling, here's a fortune cookie. Every customer comes to our café will get one." She holds out a jar of fortune cookies.
"Pick one."
"Alright." My hand put in the jar, searching and pick one up.
"Dear please don't open it here. Open it when you leave this place." She warned.
"O…kay?" I glanced at the lady as she gives my balance money.
The lady smiled at me as I said thank you. I excitedly cracked the fortune cookies and there's writing on it.
"You will have a very good fortune. However, do not be impulsive. You should do everything with discretion!"
I tried to understand the meaning of the fortune and…
Ping!
I quickly checked my phone.
To: Rosaline.
Dec 21, 10:00 AM.
Unknown: MEET ME AT THE ROCHELLE BAKERY. MAKE SURE YOU DIDN'T BRING ANYONE WITH YOU. IT WAS A FEW MILES BLOCK FROM THE PARISIAN CAFÉ. I WANT YOU TO HURRY! ASAP!
Huh?
I lifted my gaze from my phone. I looked around. Nobody there looks unusual or suspicious to me.
Rochelle Bakery?
Who wanted to meet me? Surely it is not Alexander because I didn't give him my phone number.
My friend? I didn't even remember my own past as I wake from the coma.
"Oh well I better get going!"
Eventually the rains has stop and I ride my bike as the wind slowly blows my long black tendrils hair and my scarlet dress.
"Rochelle Bakery." I read the sign in front of the bakery as I stop my bike.
There were buns, cakes and even cupcakes that were placed in front of the bakery. From outside of the bakery, the aroma of the fresh bake bread or maybe cake. I can smell it and make me hungry again. I chuckle excitedly to meet the person who is really wanted to see me.
As I entered the bakery, a high pitched voice shouted at me.
"Destiny!"
"Wh... Ugh!"
I've been squeezed tightly as someone hugged me.
"I... I can't breathe..."
"Opps, sorry! I didn't mean to. Oh how I miss seeing you, milady!" she said.
I stared at her completely confused. Milady?
I don't even know her and all the sudden she called me Destiny.
"Excuse me. I think you get the wrong person." I asked.
"No, silly! Can't you remember me? I'm your dove, Destiny. I bet the accident hit you really hard." She exclaimed.
Ok… okay. Now I'm confused. What in the world she's talking about?
I talked to myself so nobody heard me. She has a long dark brown hair that loosely hanging on her right shoulder and her dark grey eyes staring at me hopingly that I'd known her before. She is a little bit taller than me.
"My dove?"
"Yup! I'm the person who helping you get your Romeo. Just sit down and relax. I explain it later. But first, let's fill up your skinny body into shape!" she smiled and put me down on a chair.
"I'm not that skinny," I replied as soon she run off towards the kitchen.
I looked around the shop. Definitely it was pretty by its decorations. The walls were painted soft yellow pastel. The atmosphere was exquisitely like a 5 star restaurant.
"Milady, here's your velvet cake, your favourite! And mocha!" she served it with a bow.
"Oh… thank you. But I have already eaten my breakfast this morning."
"Destiny, darling. You can't say no to your friend like that. Eat. It's your favourite." She put her hand on her hips like my mother or sister or something.
"Oh… alright then. But you have to tell me why did you call me Destiny hence my name is Rosaline and are you the person who's texting me?" I asked.
"Yup! I know. Rosaline is your fake name. Destiny Hope Renee is your real name. Do you remember that you were stranded in a hospital?" she asked when she took a seat beside me.
"Yeah. I remember but why?"
"That time you were unconsciously coma and many people thought that you were dead even your family thought about it. During that time, you ordered me to take you away from the place before the coma. You had written a letter to your family and a scarlet letter to Romeo. I mean the Romeo that I spoke just now is Alexander. A few minutes ago, he was begging me where to find you. But I said no."
"Alexander? Okay, this is a lot to take. I'm dead?! Why in the world I going to do that? This is crazy and why did I coma in the first place?"
"Yeah, crazy. But I think that you should read this Journal. It will answer your questions and probably give your memories back."
She holds out a journal and a red box. I read the cover of the journal.
"Destiny Hope Renee's Journal."
"The box that you holding just now is a gift from Fifteen that you like to call him as a nickname to Alexander and your memories that you and him spend together."
"So…did my parents know that I'm still alive?"
"No… I hope not. If they do, you'll be married soon."
"Married?!"
"Whoa, calm down. You and Fifteen were meant to be together but you guys soo stubborn to take the fact that you my dear were… I mean almost engage to a guy who you don't fall in love with. You and Fifteen were forbidden love."
"O…kay? Now I feel like that we were like in a Shakespeare's played, Romeo and Juliet." I chuckle.
"Yup! Coincidence… you guys are soo dramatic and delicate." She laughed.
"So… do I really need to read this instead you explain it to me?"
"Yes, of course!"
"Okay…"
I open the journal and hopingly that I will remember my past, memories and my true self…
