3 YEARS AGO.
"I'm telling you Rose, I'm going to end up beating that girl one day"
I laugh out loud.
"It's not funny" She said glaring at me.
"Don't worry girlfriend, the day you beat her up, I'll cheer you up from a far distance"
"Traitor"
"Hey, not everyone can fight"
We got home and entered our two bedroom apartment , I take off my clothes as soon as we enter and Melissa does the same as we continue our conversation.
"I just pray I don't kill her one day"
"Everyone knows Kate is a flirt, she flirts with every guy that she sets her eyes on, just tell Felix to be careful with her"
"I have. Gosh, I just wish he gets a new job or that girl gets fired from that office"
"Mel" I shout.
"What? Did I say anything wrong? You should have seen the skirt she wore today, so short and tight and she kept bending down, she was not even bothered that I was with Felix"
"As I have said earlier, you just have to talk to your boyfriend, he has to be very careful."
"Alright, I will"
"Will you eat noodles? "
"Sure"
I entered the kitchen and start cooking.
Mel asks I fondly call her has been dating Felix ever since our school days and I envy them.
I just wish I get someone to love me just like that.
Sometimes I think I'm cursed or something.
"Rose, the food is burning"
That brought me out of my thoughts.
"Oh my God"
I quickly turn off the gas cooker.
"We can still get something to eat out of it." I said checking the pot.
"You are such a horrible cook"
"I just got lost in my thoughts" I replied pouting.
"What were you thinking about?"
I just shrug.
I served the food and we went to my room to eat.
"You will find someone to love you Rose. There's someone out there for you"
"Yeah but where is he?"
"You will find him soon"
I sigh in response.
"You will find him Rose"
"Yes I know but when?"

EPISODE 2
I look at myself in the mirror staring at my face.
Maybe I'm not beautiful enough.
Maybe I'm not tall enough.
Maybe I'm not charismatic enough.
I feel so lonely.
The sense of loneliness overwhelming me.
I want someone that I can call mine.
Someone that I will talk to in the morning and at night before I sleep.
I want someone to cuddle with.
I want a family.
I'm so desperate for one.
"Rose"
"Huh?"
"Let's go Rose, you are getting late"
"Yeah"
I carry my bag and we rush out.
We both went our separate ways at the bus stop.
Melissa works in a law firm.
I'm a graphic designer.
"Hello Rose"
"Hi baby"
I greet my partner in the office.
"You are late today"
"I just got caught up in something"
"We need to work on the finishing touches on the design for the advertisement so we'll submit today"
"Yeah.. Come on, let's work "
We work for almost 3 hours and by lunch time we are done.
************************************
I was eating my lunch alone when I look towards the door just as a guy came in.
I could not help but stare.
He is so handsome.
He moved to the counter to order for his food and I followed his every move.
And then he turned towards my direction with a tray in his hands and start coming close.
Just like in a movie, I see him walking in slow motion towards me.
He drew near to my direction and I stand up slowly with a stupid smile on my face but he didn't reach me.
He sat on another table.
That brought me back to reality.
I quickly pack my things and run out.
That was embarrassing.
************************************
"Seriously? Wow" Mel screamed in my ears, I had to move the phone from my ear.
"You seem more excited than I am"
"Of course, my friend is in love"
I roll my eyes.
"I only told you I met a guy and now you are saying I'm in love"
"'Seems like love to me"
"Rose, the boss will be here in a minute"
My office partner interrupted my conversation.
"We'll talk at home Mel"
"Of course, I need details, full details, you must not leave out anything, alright?"
"Whatever. Bye"
As soon as I hang up the door opened and my boss stepped in.
"Hello sir'
We greet him, both of us on our feet.
I notice someone behind him.
"Hello... Mark, these are my designers" My boss said to the person behind him.
The guy stepped forward.
Well, you guessed right.
It's him, the guy from the restaurant.
I stand there gawking at him again.
"Hello" He greets us and then look towards me.
"Oh.. It's you" He said with a smile.
Me?
What did I do?
