"Meant to meet"
Is destiny true?
Am I destined to be with you?
Past lives, reincarnations, and rebirth are too deep and dark for me to learn but if that's the way I'll find you, then let me suffer
Are we meant to be or are we meant to meet?
Two phraces that keeps on running through my head and up until now, I don't know the answer
Why am I inlove with someone I haven't even met?
Why am I excited to know you?
How is it possible that I'm looking for someone I don't know?
If I do find you, what will I do?

"Anak you'll be late"
It's been a year since I've become a permanent model in Leysian's and I made a lot of friends actually
"You'll be taking the train if you don't hurry" mom yelled
I rushed to change my clothes and run downstairs, I almost fell
"Bye mama" I gave her a kiss and run to call a taxi
"Taxi, TAXI!" I yelled and waved my hand to get the driver's attention
Luckily, a taxi stopped and chose me to be his passenger
"Where to ma'am?" he asked
"Leysian's please" I said
He started to drive and then he realized that my voice was familiar
"Your voice is really familiar ma'am, are you a politician?"
I almost burst to laughter when I heard what he said, a politician?
I took my mask, my cap, and my coat off for him to see clearly
"YOU'RE MS. PRISHA"
And there he started to act like crazy but it's not my first time
"My daugther is a fan of yours" he said
I was, again, not surprise about that but instead, I gave him my photo card and signed it with the name of his daugther
'I love you, Julie'
Mr. Driver and I talk about things like how life was going and how was Leysian's treating me and all
I was actually open to him and he sounded like a very good and kind person so I was comfortable with him, I felt like for once I have a father
"Take care, Prisha"
I told him to drop me in an abandoned street because I don't think cars can pass to Leysian's
I was shookt because for the first time, I saw people on that street
There were fishes, fruits, clothes, all those things and they were selling it
I often let the taxis drop me here but this is the first time that I saw people here
I didn't mind the people because I was running late so I just walked faster to get to the other side
"MY PURSE" an old woman yelled
There was a robber and he took the old woman's purse, I think it's really valuable to her
I was about to help the woman when I saw a robber coming my way and was heading for my phone
After that was a total black out of my sight
The only thing I remember was the woman getting robbed and the robber coming my way
I woke up in a dark alley, I guess it was night time already
It was cold then I realized that I was actually in a freezer, a big freezer in a dark alley
I was tied in a chair, my arms, my legs, they were trapped and I can't move
After that was a man's footsteps, I was scared to ask for help at first but I've gotta try
"Help, there's someone here" I said
He broke in the freezer to help me and I was shocked that he actually did
"Stay still, stay quiet, they're just around the corner" he whispered
He freed me off the duck tapes and accompanied me
"Run" he said
He holds my hand while we went out the freezer together
"Don't look back, I'll get you out of this" said the man
My head started to ache and felt like it was hammered by millions and billions of hammers
There I started to reminisce about things, I wonder why
"Moun Amour"
Why am I reminiscing?
Why at this point?
"M-My head hurts" I hold him even tighter
He ignored my words and kept on running while our hands still holding each other
We arrived at the street that the taxi driver had dropped me and the people were still there
I did not have anything to cover my face so the man gave me his cap and coat for people to not notice me and they did not
I look back and saw three men following us, they look like the men who brought me through the black van and may be the men who brought me to the freezer in the alley
My head was still hurting but I shut my mouth up to escape from those people
The man was still holding my hand and he brought me to a corner where a closed boutique was located
He leaned down to cover my face and there I started reminiscing again
"Hey sir have you seen the-" a man was gonna ask us something
He took off his mask and told me to close my eyes, so I did
He then kissed my lips and that was when I remember everything and I mean everything that happened in my past life
"Oh I'm sorry to disturb you" the man ran away when he saw us kissing
Minutes after, when we were sure that the men who kidnapped me were gone, we stopped kissing
"Who are you?" I asked
I asked him who he was as he was looking down to wear his mask
He look back up and took his mask off and in my surprise, I saw a familiar face
He was someone I met before, a someone I know
I got chills and my body was shaking after I saw his face, I got nervous and got scared after I scanned his face and clarified who he really was
Is this true?
Was it really you?
