He parked his bike, a bright yellow suzuki TS 125 with a messy look after the off road last week. he took the key and entered his favorite public simple library in his town. Grab his laptop with a lot of stickers and his note, he scout the table where he want to sit and work, right in the corner of the garden of the library. down the aisle of cabinet of old books, the smell of the old book probably one of his favorite smell after the smell of Mc Donald.
Open the laptop and start to browse general website. facebook, email and off course his blog. as a digital writer he only wrote his stories in the blog. the waitress appears and offer the menu, hot cafe latte and a ashtray he ordered. Return to his works, writes his journal for his project.
After an hour he ask for cafe latte to the waitress again. he stoned after someone appear from the main door. bright skin and 60's glasses in her beautiful eyes. he smiled to her and she smiled back. she sat in the terrace of the library facing the garden. he cant concentrated after the appearance of that girl, his brain was disperse.
he tried to introduce himself to her but he has no courage to approach her. he has no balls. Accidentally she walk towards to his table,
"do you have lighter? i need to burn my burn sticks and candle. a lot of mosquitoes here, right?', she ask
"here", he gave the lighter with tremble and zoned out.
"thank you!" she said with the lovely smile.
after the borrowing, she came back to her table to lighten the mood and she came back to return the lighter. he look very nervous and didn't know what to say to this girl, suddenly there is a song with familiar lyrics
"This is the first day of my life
Swear I was born right in the doorway
I went out in the rain suddenly everything changed
They're spreading blankets on the beach"

this is his favorite song "Bright Eyes - First Day of My Life" the song that he thinks perfect for newlyweds or teenager that found their first love after Desire - Pure Saturday. it turns out the song came from her phone, her ringtone.
"Hey, thanks for the lighter! by the way hello, my name is Anna! what's yours?", Said Anna
"You're welcome Anna! i'm Arafuru. is that your phone that ring?" ,Arafuru ask nervously
"Yeah thats my phone, ignore it! what are you doing?" Anna keep asking and she sat on the Arafuru table

"wow cool, what research you doing?", asked Anna
"I'm trying to research about deforestation in Sumatra causing the extinct of Sumatran Animals, such as tiger, elephant, and orangutan. kind of my dreams to see them in the wild with a decent population", Arafuru Answer
"So what are you doing ,Anna?", Arafuru asked and started to calm and enjoy the conversation.
"I like being in here, its so peacefully so i can read my books. i love books!", Anna said
Anna and Arafuru drowning in the joyfully and the fun of the conversation until the sun changes to the moon. the nightfall and the cold of their town makes them come inside.
"Do you want to order some coffee again? i'm out of coffee hihihihi", Anna said and she got blushed with the quirky of Arafuru.
"I think i'm gonna order some tea, the tea is good and i enjoy to talk with you Anna!" Arafuru said and he smiled back to Anna. he ask the waitress to write down their order.
