"I hate you" she shut her eyes and screamed at him.
"But I love you" he confessed for the first time.
Her eyes widen on his confession. Her heart skipped a beat when...
"We don't make mistakes, just happy little accidents"

He followed her. He could sense that she is not happy and is feeling guilty. Her guilt is making him to feel remorse.
He knew he didn't force her to do it, but he took the responsibility. He felt as if he snatched her innocence.
He stood near the counter.
"Order please" she whispered. He could barely hear her voice.
"Here." he extended his hand to give her a cheque of 50 grand.
She froze on hearing his voice. She didn't lift her head up. After that incident, she felt ashamed of herself. Now she doesn't have the guts to look into his eyes.
"What is it? You paid me enough." he actually paid what she required. But she forgot about the last part of the dealing.
"I won the exhibition. As I promised I brought you 10% of the prize amount."
She wanted to refuse, saying that she doesn't need any money. But she remembered that, she refused the first time he asked saying that, she has enough money, but next day itself she was in front of his house begging for the same money.
But now she really didn't need money. She will be needing money to pay for her exam fee, after that she will get a job as an architect in some company. Then there won't be much of financial issues.
He could see her contemplating over the money. He took her hand and placed the cheque.
"You deserve it. You completed my art. Take it as me thanking you." he said.
Unknowingly he reminded the topic which she wanted to erase from her memory.
A traitorous tear fell from her eye. She nodded and placed the cheque in her bag.
"Order please?" she asked once again. Indirectly indicating him to leave.
"Espresso please."
She expected he would say, no thanks and leave the shop. Now she has to bare him till he finished the damn coffee.
"Your coffee." she placed in front of him and turned around to leave.

"Why don't you sit with me?" he asked politely.
"I am at work."
"Your boss is not around. Moreover there isn't any other customer too" he wanted to sort out the things bothering her.
"It doesn't matter. I can't betray him" saying that she left the place.
He looked at her amused. He kept looking at her. He know it is creepy thing to do, but he can't stop notice the damage he has done to the innocent soul. After having the coffee, he left the place.
