nAfter a few hours of shopping, Yue Ling was finally done with her errands.

nOne thing she liked about Imperial was that, the stores have a policy where they can deliver the things you buy straight to your house.

nAnd that, she did not put to waste at all.

nWalking amongst the crowd, she thought about what do next. It was actually her first time exploring Imperial since she moved here.

nSuddenly, her footsteps came to a stop.

nHer bluish green eyes looks at a building wall.

nOn that wall were countless posters and flyers, but her eyes stayed fixated on only one out of the many posters and flyers.

nThe poster was old and the colors were slightly faded.

nIt was a poster with five people, each person wearing the color black but in different styles. At the top of the poster was the word 'FAITH' in bold white print.

nAnd at the bottom corner was the word, 'Disband' and the date in red letters.

nThe date was dated back to three years ago.

nYue Ling stared at the poster before she slowly raise her hand and gently touch the poster.

nHer fingers softly stroke the person in the middle as if she was touching the person again.

nThe man had a short faded hair cut. Both his arms were on the shoulders of the two men next to him. His eyes were closed as he grinned cheerily.

nEven with his eyes closed, one could see that he was a man with great looks that god took the time to sculpt.

nShe stared at the face of the man, her eyes softened with a glint of sadness.

nHer heart felt like it had suddenly disappeared.

nAfter a long while,she part her lips and whispered quietly,

"I'm sorry I betrayed you...

"

nYue Ling continued to stare at the man in the poster with unblinking eyes.

nHe was the man she loves, the man who brought light into her dark world.

nThree years... to think time had completely gone by. Even she did not realize it...

n

"Excuse me Miss. Are you alright? Can I help you with anything?

"

nA soft voice spoke next to Yue Ling, breaking her train of thoughts.

nYue Ling turned her head to her left and sees a woman in her early twenties, with auburn medium length hair. She stood about 165cm and because Yue Ling was taller, the woman had to look up at Yue Ling, while she smile sweetly.

n

"Thank you, but I'm alright.

" Yue Ling smiled before turning to leave.

nSensing that Yue Ling was going to leave, the woman quickly blocks Yue Ling's way,

"How about coming in for a cup of tea or coffee?

" She pointed to a glass door.

nLooking at the door, Yue Ling realized that the supposedly building wall with posters and flyers was actually a huge tinted glass window.

nShe pursed her lips slightly in whether she should go in or not. Coming to a decision, she nods her head and follows the woman into the cafe.

n

"Please sit anywhere you like. I saw you stopped in front of the window for a long time, so I got curious and came to see if you wanted to come inside.

"

nThe woman said as she walks behind the counter and puts on an apron with the logo 'An's Cafe'.

nYue Ling sat on a high stool near the counter,

"Is this your shop?

"

nThe woman smile,

"Mm. This was my dream, after I married my husband, he helped me achieve it. Now, it's like a dream come true.

"

nHearing the word 'dream', Yue Ling's lip curl into a small smile.

nShe once had a dream too... but it was taken from her...

nNot noticing the change in Yue Ling's expression, the woman asked,

"Would you like tea or coffee?

"

n

"Coffee please.

"

nSmiling, the woman started to make a cup of coffee for Yue Ling.

nYue Ling looked at the happy woman, then she scanned the cafe.

nIt wasn't big, but it wasn't small either. The walls were charcoal grey with paintings of different aspects.

n

n

nThere were approximately ten tables; five for four person tables and five for two person tables, then there were the four stools by the counter, which she sat on one.

n

"Here you go miss. A nice cup of coffee.

"

n

"Thank you. How much is it?

"

n

"No need, it's on the house.

" The woman smiles and leans against the counter. She rest her chin under her hand and stares at Yue Ling curiously.

n

"Are you a fan of FAITH too?

"
