All she wanted was a happy ending...
Love and fate is just as cruel and ill-fated that it will you leave you a scar of yesterday that will haunt your tomorrow. Lucia is a bright and lovely woman with so many dreams. But at the end of the day, all she ever dreamed and hoped for is a fairy tale love story of her own. She knew from the start that there is no such thing as a happy ending but nevertheless she still believes and hopes for it.
She always gave her best in everything she does and in every relationship she is in, not leaving a bit for herself. And as fate dictates, she always ends up in the arms of a man who cannot see through her beauty and kindness.
Growing old and always in pain, Lucia made a vow of living alone. She spent her days at work and in charity institutions. Everyone in the institution just admires her purest of heart and they wonder why she never seems to be lucky in love.
One day as she was walking to work she came across a man who looks so familiar but his name she cannot remember. She stared at him with so much question in her eyes. The man noticed her and as they passed by each other, the man stopped and looked back. Lucia stopped walking and thought to herself, "Who might that man be?"
She decided to enter a coffee shop just around the corner of the street and tried the hardest to recall of that man she saw. The man followed her and peaked into the window of the coffee shop and he saw Lucia. For a few minutes he stayed outside of the coffee shop thinking if he should come in and approach her. Lucia who was in deep thoughts glanced through the window and saw the man outside. Their eyes locked and for a moment they were both caught in a mesmerized state.
The man blinked first and smiled and then he decided to come in and approach her. Lucia fixed her hair and her dress and cleared her throat many times before she looked at him standing beside her table.
The man smiled and said, "Hello there!" in a very soft and low tone. Lucia looked up, smiled and said, "Hi how are you?" The man asked Lucia, "Can I join you if you don't mind?" Lucia answered in a shy voice almost mumbling, "Sure no problem..."
The man sat down and ordered coffee and cake. Then he started to speak, "So what is your name? You must find me really weird to follow you and join you for coffee." "Where are you about to head a while ago?" Lucia answered, "I was supposed to go to work. I am Lucia by the way and you are?"
They started feeling comfortable talking and time passed by without them noticing. It was almost lunch and Lucia looked at her watch and said, "Harry, it was nice meeting you and spending the morning with you."
Harry smiled and said, "Oh Lucia my time was well spent and I truly enjoyed chatting with you. Can we see each other again?" Lucia had giggles in her heart and did not know how to respond. "Let's see Harry we might bump into each other some time again."
