Fateful Encounters

"Fate is real."

Enrique's POV

"She's very different."

We’re here. So I knocked.

"Knock! Knock?" I knocked on the door and it opened easily.

"Who are they?" The woman who opened the door immediately asked.

"Are you Mrs. Samonte? We just wanted to say something." I will tell her our purpose why we are looking for them.

"Ah, yes, I am. Come inside." We were immediately let into the house. We sat in the living room and Mrs. Samonte brings drinks and snacks for us. Suddenly, the girl we had just met entered my mind again. I know. I don't know her but I want and like to meet her. I suddenly smiled as I remembered we were staring at each other. She has very beautiful eyes.

"Hey bro, why are you smiling there?" Ken surprised me. Seriously, I realized.

"Ah, nothing bro. I was just thinking about what to say to Mrs. Samonte." I said. Of course, I don't want to say that I smiled because of the girl we just met.

"Well, you’re an old bro." Ken was joking with me. Well, I can't do anything. Haha. Just ride my excuse. Mrs. Samonte had arrived and also sat down near where we were sitting.

"Ah, what do you mean and why were you sent to me to tell me a message?" She asked. I was also surprised; we are in the modern world now and a little text would do, but why? I don't know why I agreed to deliver the message; maybe I'm just being nice or wanted an adventure.

"Ahh,Yes, I'm Enrique. I'm the son of the event organizer. Aren't you the host and will choose the King and Queen of the Masquerade Party?" I still don't know why I volunteered to say this message. As far as I know, there are cell phones and telephones. There seems to be something else.

"Yes, it's me. Why?" she asked.

"He just wants to inform you that the criteria, of choosing the future King and Queen has changed." I said lightly. "It should be chosen from different places." I explained. It's weird, it's like my feet brought me here. I would have just sent it to Messenger or text.

Blah blah blah blah...

"Is that so? Okay fine. Maybe you want to go to the dance? You're good looking just like your Dad." I smiled at what the woman said. But I have no passion for going to such events.

"Oh no Ma’am. I don't like that. We’ll go now. Thank you." I scratched my head. But it's true that I don't like events like that. Besides, it's embarrassing to say, but I have the same left foot. If you could just imagine. We said goodbye right away.

"Alright, thank you guys. Take care." Then we left the house and walked away. I looked around first because I thought I might see the girl I was thinking about right now. But she was not there. Next time we meet, we'll get to know each other. I promise.

We are going home now. We still have a long way to go. I didn't bring my car because I wanted to experience commuting. Where is the car station here? Uhhhg, I seem to have forgotten.

While we were walking, Ken teased me again about the dance that was going to be held.

"Bro, why don't you attend the dance so you can meet different girls, after all, you look like me and you're already single. Oh what?” Ken teased me again in his own way.

"You know, bro, since we've been friends for a long time, when have you seen me attend something like that? Haven't you?" I've never really been to that and I don't want to.

"That's why, bro, so you can experience it. What? There's one more week before the event." He is forcing me to attend.

"I don’t know! Maybe, if I change my mind." I say it jokingly because sometimes I really try to do what I don't do.

"I hope you can attend, bro, because I won't miss the opportunity to meet different girls, right." Ken said to me seriously while still walking.

"It's up to you, bro, if the one you meet there is a dressed-up woman, you'll definitely be upset." I said it jokingly again and Ken's reaction to what I said was funny.

"Ha-ha! Thanks bro!" His expression is really funny.

"You’re welcome bro. Let's just walk." I said because his face was still funny.

We laughed a lot while walking to the car station and suddenly I remembered the girl again, which made me become serious. I thought of her beautiful eyes again, as if electricity flowed through us both. It's funny, but that's how I felt.

"Bro! We're here. Hey! bro." I realized again with the surprise of the man I was with.

"Ah oh why? What happened?" I asked him seriously, I hope he didn't notice that I was stunned again.

"Tsk, we're going to ride a car now. Don't you want to go home? I've been asking you to ride for a while, you're just dumbfounded, and what are you thinking about. Let's go." Wow, he’s really serious. I might get on before I even receive a punch.

"Yes, I said so. Let's go." We get on. My foot hurt a little because of walking.

After we got on, I noticed that Ken was thinking. Maybe he's thinking why I smile alone and sometimes I'm stunned. Please don’t think that my brain is broken because I will torture him. I secretly smiled because if I laugh again, he might think that of me. A few moments later, Ken annoyed me again.

"Bro? You’re like stupid and then smiling? What are you really thinking? Is there a problem?" He's being funny again when his face is serious.

"I don't have a problem. Don't misunderstand me, bro. It's nothing. Just look at your face, its ugly." I just laughed out loud because I couldn't stop it. And he, on the other hand, was disappointed with my answer.

"Lol! I'm still more handsome than you." He leaned back in his seat and didn't say a word again.

Liza's POV

Who is he? Why is he still on my mind until now? I've met many strangers but he is the only one that sticks in my mind and makes me wonder who he really is. Could it be that I just looked at him so I wanted to meet him? Or maybe not just because of that. It's annoying, there's really something else. I hope we meet again.

"Hey Liz! It's like I just saw you thinking so deeply. What is that? Share it. Can you? " This crazy person surprised me again. I'm thinking really deeply.

"A-a-a-h I'm thinking about a-a-ah the two boys earlier! I can't get them out of my mind." I told the truth because she would tease and tease me if I gave the wrong answer.

"Gosh! The two or the one? Which one of them?" This girl really knows what I'm thinking. She’s like my sister. Is there anything I can do?

"Actually, Anne, it's the man who I bumped into. Who is he again?" I have a serious question.

"Is that Enrique? Ahh Yes, that's who he is. Why are you thinking about him? Besides, there’s no different from him." Anne also said seriously, and she seemed to be thinking at this time.

"Wrong. You're thinking wrong. I mean I’m thinking about what happened. It's like I know him, but I don't know where or how. It's different, really different, Anne. When we just stared at each other, I knew that I knew him or maybe I just bumped into him and I'm guilty." I said directly because I was confused and perplexed.

"Hey, let that go Liz, didn't Enrique say it's okay, so you shouldn't think about that and just think about going to the party." I realized what she said because of the dance. She mentioned it again. She’s really naughty. I said I didn't want it.

"And who said I was going there? It's just you." I said flatly. She's used to me so she knows I'm just pretending.

"Haaaaaay what do I need to do to get you to attend?" She asked while begging. What a witch, she’ll do everything just to make me attend the event . What's in her brain and she really wants me to go there?

"Hmmmm. Alright. You don't have to do anything. As soon as Mommy says that I should attend, I will immediately say yes. That is, if Mommy tells me that, I know she is very busy. Deal?" I had the courage to tell her because I was so confident that Mommy would never think of saying that. Evil smile. HAHA

"Alright. It’s a deal." The witch shook hands. She's confident, that's all. Let the winner win.

"Oh hey, it's getting late. You should go home. See you tomorrow. Go home! Go home!" I pushed her away. That's how we are. Close friend/sister/best friend.
