"What are you doing in Bekasi? I don't know why but I feel like you're going to give me some good news,

" Lisa asked, smiling.

"Hah! You're really a witch. So the good news is, I've got a new job. I'll stay in Bekasi for two days for training. You're in Bekasi right now, so I think I might hangout with you as well,

" Andien replied with a beaming face.

Hearing the news just now made Lisa's heart happy and proud. Finally, her best friend since high school got a job after desperately leaving Petersson Communication.

"Thank you, Ndien! I really like it. Congratulations by the way,

" Lisa said, patting her friend's shoulder firmly.

As the two friends made small talk, a waiter came to bring the sukiyaki they ordered. The man swiftly lit the stove on the table and then poured the broth into the pot.

The aroma was very fragrant, arousing the appetite of the two hungry women. Without saying much, Lisa, who hadn't eaten after work, immediately grabbed the meat on the plate and dipped it in the broth that had just been boiled.

Andien stared at her friend blankly.

"Shit, you're pretty like a Korean artist now but you eat as greedy as before!

" She teased with a chuckle.

"Shut up, I'm so hungry!

"

"Eh, by the way, how about your new workplace?

"

"It's good though the salary is not as much as at Colors Advertising or Petersson Communication. But at least it's still above the minimum wage, so I can feed myself and my family in Jakarta.

"

"Oh, I see. I am glad that you are finally able to survive after your desperate efforts!

"

The conversation between the two women stopped not long after. They were busy with bowls of meat and vegetables in the steaming soup. Lisa hadn't eaten delicious food like this in a long time. Luckily she met Andien today.

"Lis,

" Andien called, breaking the excitement of their meal.

"I have a question, but please don't take it personally, okay?

"

Lisa stopped eating and looked at Andien curiously.

"What is it?

"

"You already have a new job and a new place to live. But how about a boyfriend? Do you also have a new one?

" Andien asked seriously.

"Wow, your question is really tough. I'm not looking for a guy for the time being. I want to focus on working first. If I want to marry someone, I have to think about many things, especially qualities!

" Lisa replied bluntly.

"Do you want to find a guy that suits your taste?

" Andien asked again.

Lisa couldn't answer it, she only glanced up as she collected the pieces of her messy thoughts. Slowly she began to remember her ideal type for her husband.

"I want someone responsible, has a permanent job, is disciplined with time, smart and groomed, good looks, nice personality and most importantly, someone that will accept me as who I am!

"

"Oscar!

" Andien exclaimed without hesitation. She snapped her fingers like a scientist who had just discovered something.

'Ah, damn!' Lisa thought to herself. Why did Andien have to remind her of that man again?! It'd been hard for her to forget that man from the bottom of her heart. Just hearing his name made Lisa upset again.

"Damn you! No need to mention his name! I can't move on from him, you know!

" Lisa replied curtly as she snorted in annoyance.

"Yee, I'm sorry. But from the criteria you mentioned earlier really fit with Oscar,

" Andien replied then shrugged her shoulders.

"I know, but you don't need to mention it. Ugh why did you even ask about my love life out of nowhere,

" Lisa said, still annoyed by Andien's words.

Throughout the evening meal until late evening, the two friends talked incessantly until the soup in the pot was gone.

When the two of them were about to pay, Lisa took her cellphone out of her purse to check the time. However, she unexpectedly found a letter in her bag.

Lisa stared at the pink letter envelope. As she recalled, she didn't buy it yesterday nor today. Then she took out the envelope and looked inside.

Intrigued by the pink envelope that Lisa was looking at, Andien's eyes immediately glared happily and asked,

"Wow, what letter is that? I don't think it's a driving license, hehe!

"

"I don't really understand this letter, how did this get inside my bag?

"

"Try opening it! Come on!

" Andien clapped her hands like a child.

Lisa vigilantly tore off the end of the pink envelope and took out its contents. A neatly folded paper. The author must have been using a computer because the font looked too neat and straight.

"Lis, what's with that letter?

" Andien asked again, making Lisa more curious.

"How do I know! I am reading this,

" Lisa read the rows of sentences quickly. The letter had absolutely no identity of the sender.

"Lis, try reading it,

" Andien asked, getting increasingly curious.

Lisa then started reading the first paragraph with a serious face.

"To Lisa— the first time I looked at your soul-shaking face, I was completely bewitched by your charm. From dusk until dawn, your face never leaves my mind, and your shadow will never disappear from the depths of my lonely heart.

"

Hearing the contents of the letter made Andien fascinated.

"Wow, it's really poetic!

"

Lisa returned to continue the next paragraph.

"O lady from nowhere. How stunning you are, like a lotus floating in the middle of a silent lake. Your beauty is blooming day by day, like a rose in a meadow.

"

Andien sharpened her ears and focused her attention on Lisa.

"Come on, finish it!

"

"Even when the world crumbles, my love for you will never die. Wish I could take your two hands and carry you up to the top of the hill. There, we will gaze at the vast and dazzling expanse of green while I admire your timeless beauty.

"

"Aaaah, this is really poetic! So sweet...!

" Andien exclaimed, amazed by the contents of the mysterious letter that Lisa read.

Lisa caressed the surface of the paper, looking for the name of the sender of the letter, but there was none. It was sent by an anonymous— Or more likely, a secret admirer! Lisa began to wonder which man dared to send her a love letter.

Initially, she didn't believe that there were still men who used letters as a way to express love. According to her, expressing love through letters was so old school. People of this age usually used instant messaging or dating apps.

Lisa paused for a moment, wondering who the author of the letter was. Then, she suspected that one man!

'This must be Johan!' Lisa said to herself. She didn't say anything, keeping her silence while holding the paper.

"Lisa, who actually sent it?

" Andien asked.

"I don't know! There is no name.. I also don't know how this letter could get into my bag?

" Lisa replied, she was also curious about where the mysterious letter came from.
