A loud ring coming from the digital clock heard on top of my bed. I reached it and tap the button to close the alarm. With a grog feeling, I look at the time.

“6:00 A.M., huh?” I mumbled. It’s exact time I always wake up. Placing the clock on the desk drawer, I sit and stretched up.

“It’s another day, huh?” I mumbled. Standing up on the bed and fix it, I go to the window and spread the curtain. The morning sun shines through the glass.

Penetrating the light coming from the glass, my eyes shunned and suddenly close.

“Good morning, world...”

With a grin from my lips, I mumbled those words and leave the room. Taking my changed clothes, I quickly take a shower downstairs.

Then, I checked my phone while preparing breakfast. “Mom and dad sure is worrywart, huh? I have my next weekend off so there’s time for me to visit them.”

Their text indicates that I should go visit them. Today, I’m 27 years old and currently working as an agent employee from a certain company. My name is Justine Gonzales.

Watching the news on TV is my daily routine while eating breakfast. Currently, I live far away from my parents due to the location of work.

Good thing is, my company provided an apartment for the employees and it’s a good benefit since I can save more than to pay rent.

At exactly 7:00 A.M., I leave the dorm and headed to the train station. The sun reaches the zenith as I leave and lock the door of my apartment.

“Good morning, Justine.” From the gate, a young woman and also the landlord of this apartment complex greeted me with a smile on her lips.

“Good morning, Miss Kristine.” I greeted and smile. The usual day is ahead right now like always. Since the time I worked in the company, she’s always been the one who looks after me.

Her features are; long, brown, straight hair tied in ponytail and slender body. She has big breasts to ogle by any man around. A caring and lovely landlord, indeed... and her kindness is something I always hog alone.

Yeah, currently, I’m the only tenant on this place, occupying the room upstairs.

“Do great on your work today!” she smiles at me while sweeping the ground. “Yeah, thank you! I’m going!”

“See you!” waving at me, I smile as well and wave back. It’s like I never live alone at all because of her. Miss Kristine’s always asking me to eat together on her room whenever I come home.

Walking briskly towards the train station, I bought ticket on my ride to work.

The wagon is quite half empty since its morning. Sitting on the empty chair, the clank sound of hand holder heard as the train moves.

Serene and peaceful surroundings and soft sound of gear heard under the engine.

In the tranquility, a sudden vague image of the girl from my dream flashes in my mind.

“Who that girl is...?” I mumbled.

It’s as if there’s something between us linked together. The way how she talked to me seems like we’ve known each other. And then, the red string attached to my pinky finger.

Recalling it, I look at my pinky finger and saw a faint scarlet lines attaching through. I don’t remember having this at all.

Twenty five minutes later, the PR voice line called the station where I go off. Stopping over the platform, I get off the train and walk briskly again on the way to office.

Reaching the building, I saw my co-workers dilly dallying while chatting as they wait for the time. “Good morning, Justine...” one of my co-workers greeted me with a smile.

I nods and smile to greet as well. “Good morning,”

Entering the building, I go inside the automatic sliding door located the ground floor to tap on my log in.

Since I don’t slack much, I go to the back part of the office where my station is and starts to open my computer.

On the time it opens, a word suddenly typed from the screen.

「 “... I will see you soon, my dear husband ...”」

“Huh?” it’s the only thing I said after seeing the message.

“Justine?” a sudden tap on my shoulders made me jolt and shunned out. Turning my head sideways, my supervisor stands, looking at me with astonishment. “Ma’am Sarah...” I called.

A woman in her early 30’s approaches me. Wearing blazer and pants, as well as high heel shoes, and a short hair and pair of eyeglasses, she looks more of a president office lady.

“Seems you drunk much coffee, I’ve been calling you many times right now...”

“Sorry, uh... do you need something?” I asked. “There’s a newbie coming today. I want you to guide her on the rope till she gets everything.”

“Huh, but why me?” I asked. My boss’s eyebrows fuzzed over after my question. “You’re dedicated to work and seemed never get attach to anyone at all.”

Ah, it’s the reason she’s relying to me. “Plus, I know you’re not into intimate relationships with girls. She’s a beauty, too. Guess might be that you’re not into girls at all.”

I show a wry smile on her remark. Ma’am Sarah, my boss sees me as a man who pays no interest in opposite sex. I do get along with them, but not as deep as other guys do.

Ever since, I never felt any interest in opposite sex; and also in same sex. It’s a dull but when getting intimation; a vague feeling rises inside me.

It’s like something dictates me not to seek anyone at all. I don’t know why... but I feel it is something like that.

“Ah, Ma’am Sarah, good morning!” on the side of my boss is a girl greeted with glee on her voice. Turning my head to see, my eyes bawled out of surprise.

“Ah, Catherine... this station here is vacant. You can sit here and Justine will be the one assisting you.”

My boss nonchalantly explains everything the newbie should do. “Yes, ah—-“

Her eyes then spots me and smiles. “Hey! It’s you Senior Justine!”

The girl, who once was confessed to me when she’s in High school, appears right in front. However, her looks changed after 10 years. Her beauty didn’t fade; in fact, she becomes more beautiful than I can remember.

Wearing a floral designed dress and green cardigan, she is impeccably stunning. Her hair cut short, reaching the shoulders, giving a mature womanly vibes.

Braid hair design shows up, and a light make up suits her pearl-like skin complex. Her eye that’s been used with eyeglasses now brims over.

“Catherine, hi...” I greeted out of bafflement. My boss then gazes at both of us. “You two know each other?”

“Ah, yeah... Catherine’s my junior in High School.” I answered. Catherine nods in latter. “I never knew we will see each other here again, senior Justine!”

Her cheeks blush. I just chuckle awkwardly while Ms. Sara narrows her eyes.

“... Well, I guess you don’t need to know anything further. Just remember, if I see anyone here slacking, I will file a memo to you, got it?”

She seemed displeased from our mini reunion. I nod to answer as she leaves. Catherine, still smiling, did take a seat on the office chair.

“I didn’t expect to see you here, senior...” she utters to me. I scoff and nod to her as well. “... Well, I think this is fate...?”

“You think so? But I always wanted to see you! Now, we’re gonna be co-workers!”

Catherine keeps smiling at me as she said those words. It’s a new morning indeed; I don’t even expect this happen at all.

But it can’t be helped, I guess. A mini reunion doesn’t sound bad at all. And now, I guess there’s time for me to clear everything. That is, if she still has feelings for me.
