บท 7: Her Days
- Melanie
This was two years ago. I was walking down the same alley way, looking for the flower shop Cienna worked at. I was close to Cienna when I was 5 years old but somehow, we drifted apart until we never got to see each other.
I gripped the old picture we took on the last day I saw her. It was old, wrinkled, and torn at the edge. I remembered searching the missing piece of the picture for hours but later giving up realizing I didn't have it. The day we took the picture, it was my birthday and she secretly picked me up from my school and she took me to the amusement park. That was the last day I remember being happy.
A tear rolled down my face as I thought of all the memories I had with her. I missed her so much.
Quickly wiping the tear off my face, I checked the location on my phone. For a year, I searched for Cienna and I had managed to find out where she worked at; a flower shop near my old house.
"Her Days," I mumbled its name as I walked towards the direction of the shop. I looked down at my phone. The map said the shop was right next to me, but I didn't see it anywhere.
"Dude! Watch out!" I snapped my head up and saw a boy heading at full speed towards me on his bike. I gasped as I quickly turned my body away from his path. He streaked past me with such a speed that I lost my balance and fell on my butt.
I scrunched up my face as I felt the hard concrete under me. As I struggled to stand up, I heard an ear splitting screech of his bike coming to a sudden stop. He hurried over and helped me up.
"Are you okay? Sorry, I didn't see you." he told me as he picked up my purse and phone on the ground.
I gave him an awkward smile as I took my belongings from his hands. "It's fine, I wasn't paying attention either." I dusted myself off and I saw him glancing at my phone.
"Are you looking for a shop?" he asked while gathering his flowers that were scattered on the ground.
I hesitated but asked him, "Yeah. Do you know where Her Days is?" I began picking up the flowers with him. They were tulips.
"Oh, it's pretty hard to find if you're new here. You have to turn left and there's a small shop with a purple door surrounded by yellow bricks. I wouldn't mind taking you there but I have to go somewhere really quick. Can you find it on your own?" he asked me while he put the tulips in his bike basket.
"Yeah, I'll manage." I said and handed him the rest of his tulips.
"Thanks," he breathed out. I turned away from him, towards where he said the shop was.
Should I at least ask what his name is and say thank you? "Hey, what's your name-" But by the time I turned around, he wasn't there anymore.
...
After a while, I finally found the shop, right where he said it would be. I looked at the light purple door surrounded by pastel yellow bricks. It was really small, squished between two other shops. I let out a deep breath and wiped my slightly sweaty hands on my skinny jeans. I was nervous. What if this was the wrong place? What if today was her off day?
I shook my head and stepped towards the door. I turned the door knob and it opened with a calming sound of a tiny bell. As I closed the door behind me, my eyes looked around the tightly spaced shop. It was small but cozy. The soft aroma of the flowers dazed me. There were lots of colorful bouquets hung on the walls, set in glass vases, and put on display throughout the store.
"H-Hello?" I asked. My voice cut the comfortable silence as I heard a door slide open from the back of the shop. My heart pounded as the person walked closer and closer towards me.
"Hi! Welcome! What kind of flowers are you looking for today?" I stared at her.
It was Cienna.
