The sound of a familiar voice snapped him out of his reverie,it was her walking into the construction site with a radiant smile filled with beauty that everyone kept looking at her as she walked in. She comes along with her colleague sent by their media company to make a video coverage at the ongoing construction of the railway system connecting to many cities that will enable tourists to come from many cities. As their eyes met, Samuel knew there was no turning back and as he walked towards her with a question he asked himself, what am I going to say to Her. Hey, Hello,. I think this is the second time of our path crossing again and we exchanged contact with no one calling,so no need for much introduction she said with a shy voice. So what brings you here, Samuel asked. My colleagues and I were sent here to make video coverage on how the building of the construction of the railway system I would like at the beginning, So what about you Samuel, what are you doing here, Well I'm the one supervising these projects until it comes to completion, Okay, so how is it going, well I will say we are doing our best because everybody working here is doing their job very well and we are hoping to give the city the best transportation system ever. I can see that for myself, Sarah said with a smile and they both laughed, Samuel was filled with curiosity as he asked her maybe they could hang out some other time and they both promised to give each other a call later. As he was called by one of the workers to come and see how far they have gone in casting the irons. Samuel's heart raced as he stepped into the quaint cafe,the place where he used to go during his leisure period. The distant chatter of patrons and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the air, heightening his anticipation.it had been weeks since his last visit. Lost in thought, Samuel traced his finger along the rim of his coffee cup,it was her walking into the cafe with a radiant smile. She was the embodiment of the adventure he longed for,a temptation he couldn't resist as she held a secret key to a world he never knew existed,a world that beckoned him away from the life he had built back home and see how time flies counting months he visited home with the daily conversation and bond with his family keeps losing as each month pass but was helpless to blame himself for leaving without his family. He could not shake the good memories he once had with his wife and children. Hi Samuel, what brings you to my favourite spot of relieving myself from work stress and less I forget, you never called me as promised and it's been a week now. I'm very mad at you for keeping me waiting all this while. I'm so sorry Sarah it wasn't intentional I was so busy with work but I promise I will call and I owe an apology date,she smiles capturing his sight from looking away as they both keep looking at each other. She broke the silence and said, here is my favorite coffee tea shop,I always come here during my leisure time to take a nap and stretch my body too. It seems you live here,yeah I do,I mean like you base here permanently, yes I do why do you ask and what about you. No I don't,I only came here because of work and I will be leaving after I'm done with it,so I won't be seeing this handsome face anymore and they both laugh. Why? don't you like it here, Hmmm,I do but I kinda prefer the city where I come from than here, you are missing a lot Sarah told him. Try and give yourself some days off and I will be your tour guide and take you to a beautiful hang out in a place that will make you fall in love with this city, don't give me that look for free, I'm not charging you.
