The Love in Code

CHAPTER 01 - The First Connection

THE weather is gloomy but my day is great. I just accepted in a college university as a college professor. I feel so exhausted and my whole body is aching like I was bringing something heavy on my back.

I am now going home after a long day riding in a train station. I'm a bit excited because my lovely cat is waiting for me. When I arrived, my cat Athena ran to me and I got her up and hugged her tightly.

"Hello, baby! How are you?" I asked her and she licked my cheek like she was saying everything was okay.

After petting my cat I just go to my room and take a bath because I feel like I'm very dirty after facing every smoke and pollution outside. I'm now happy and feel fulfilled because finally everything is now at the right place.

I cook a stir fry vegetable and a pesto pasta for my dinner after I prepare the food of my Athena. And when I finished my dinner and cleaned the kitchen I immediately went to my room not to sleep early because I can't sleep no matter how tired I am.

I opened my laptop and I visited again for the third time the website where I can freely express myself. The notification pops up the moment I logged in.

@openaih: Hello Erasmè! How are you feeling today?

@Erasme: Hi, openaih! I feel so good today. I just got my first job!

@openaih: Wow, congratulations! You did so great today.

@Erasme: How about you? What did you do today? Are you done eating?

@openaih: I feel so great today because I got qualified in my dream university today. My class will start soon.

I just spent my night chatting with openaih because my insomnia is attacking again. To kill the time I just checked my emails where the information of students that I will be handling. I only have at least 30 students and one of the students got my attention named Zarnaih Ada Taliñas. Her physique is so perfect like she's an angel from heaven.

The next day after sleeping for only an hour I decided to go out and jog around the village of Arenzveltz. After I jog, I enter a 7-eleven store to buy some food for breakfast. It has full of people and there is no vacant table aside from where I sit.

While I am busy eating my food and watching the busy streets at the early morning there is someone who enters the store and buy a cup of coffee.

"Hello, can I sit here with you?" someone asked me and I look up to her. I silently nod and I was caught off guard of her mesmerizing beauty and her gentle voice.

"Yes, of course!" I answered.

"I love your hair it's so shiny," she smiled at me and sipped on her coffee. Her cheeks are blushing naturally. I just stayed silent because I don't know how and what to respond to her.

"What's your name?" I asked her while she stared at me like she's trying to know me more deeper. I feel some weird emotions I can't explain like she's pulling me down.

"Zarnaih Ada Taliñas" she answered with a wide smile and I started to get my things ready since I'm already finished eating. Her name was familiar like I already encountered it but I forget it. I just wanted to go out and go home to escape from her golden brown gaze.

I stood up and I accidentally dropped my wallet because of my careless action. Zarnaih gets down fast to get my cards and she gives it to me and our hands accidentally touch each other where I feel like there is something on my nerves.

"What an amazing name Mariah Villa," she whispered at me with her sweet voice that made me goosebumps.

I go straight home and take a cold shower to awake myself. But no matter what I do she always visit my brain and I can't forget her gazes at me.

"Meow, meow, meow," my Athena keeps on meowing at me after I gave her food and water. Maybe she's confuse why I can't stop fidgeting.

I go to the terrace and I lit my cigarette to calm myself down. I just stayed outside and feel the warmth air. When I calmed down I opened my laptop and I chatted openaih to share what I'm feeling.

@Erasmè: Heyyy, @openaih! This is the worst day of my life huhuhu.

@openaih: Hi, Erasmè! I'm sorry to hear that but everything will be fine soon. Just like today I woke up at the wrong side of the bed but after awhile I just met a goddess!

I express everything I thought to openaih and I now feel okay. I know that I'm just over reacting again and I just hate feeling this kind of emotion.
