James & Anna: This Is How They Met
Tuesday, February 18, 2014
James is a graphic designer working from 9 to 6. A typical member of the working population. He enjoys his freedom from his own apartment right in the middle of the metro. James loves the city and its variety. He is a prisoner of the city lights and the romance it brings. He escapes from the hustle and bustle of the city by seeing the beach once or twice every year. He is James. He is human. He fell in love and got hurt.
Words were never enough to describe how much Anna has been damaged by love. She has always been this person who knows a lot about feelings. She was all about what you see is what you get. But when love knocked on her doorsteps, it damaged her forever.
Anna is an event specialist who works with flexible time. She enjoys the challenge and spontaneity of her job. Anna loves to be in control of everything that involves her. Music is her escape. She loves the fact that there's an appropriate song for every emotion she feels. She is Anna. She is human. She thinks she made a mistake of falling in love with the wrong guy.
James and Anna are two different people who fell in love but didn't make it to a happy ending.
Someone walked away; someone was left hurt.

James never liked coffee, but on the second day of June, he found himself inside a coffee shop.
Hi Sir, what's your order?
The barista asked him during his turn.

James' attention was caught by the girl at the front of the line. Her fragrance caught his attention when they got off the same bus on his way to work for the nth time. She was downright beautiful with her brown hair and lovely cheeks. And of course, her chinky eyes that definitely caught James' eyes.
He didn't know what to order simply because he wasn't there for coffee. He was here to ask the girl about her name.
Excuse me Sir, may I ask you about your order?
The barista asked him again. This time, James was able to respond.
I'm here for the first time. May I know what's your best seller?
James replied.
Cappuccino is our best seller, Sir. But you seem like you don't take coffee everyday, something a little sweet would be nice for a start. How about an Iced Caramel Macchiato?
The barista recommended.
Alright, I'll have an Iced Caramel Macchiato.
James ordered.
When James was finally done dealing with the barista, he was quipping his self to ask the girl for her name. When he got two steps near her, her phone rang.
Hello? .. Yes, this is Anna. I'm just grabbing a coffee. I'm on my way.
The barista called her name and asked her to claim her coffee. She was in a hurry that when she turned toward James' direction, they bumped into each other.
Oh I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry. Are you okay?
Anna asked.
Yes I'm okay, Anna. Are you?
James responded.
You know me? You must be from the agency! Wait, let me grab my coffee so we can proceed upstairs!
Anna didn't wait for James to say a thing. Instead, she went to get her coffee and grabbed James.
Are they already upstairs? I just need my coffee fix. Couldn't work properly without grabbing one in the morning.
I'm sorry but you got this all wrong. I'm not from the agency. I just, uhm, overheard your name. I'm James, by the way.
Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you were sent here to fetch me. Hi James, I'm Anna. I'm really kinda late with my meeting. I'm sorry but I have to go. See you around!
James wasn't able to do anything but to wave his hands goodbye.
It wasn't bad at all, James. You have introduced yourself. Not a bad start.
