My hands were shaking as I was holding my motorcycle keys.

I was standing in front of Hebiana's cafe. I saw her standing up by the cashier, speaking with a waitress. I cleared my throat several times and ruffled my hair many times before opening the door.

I pushed the door and the windchimes made a cling which made Hebiana and the waitress turn their heads towards my direction.

I raised my hand and waved it in front of Hebiana. I waved it quickly and smiled at her. She returned my smile with a wider one, then looked at the waitress before leaving her. The waitress nodded and smiled at her. My eyes were only following her direction, as if the whole world stop revolving and she was the only person that I was seeing.

"Hello!" she raised her hand and waved it at me. "Is there anything I could do for you?"

I blinked several times and smiled at her, "May I order one Hebiana and make it snappy?"

She chuckled and playfully hit me in the arm, "Coming right up!"

I held her hand and gently dragged her to the closest chairs. I pulled a chair for her before sitting.

"Thank you," she smiled. I smiled back.

"Anything for you, pretty lady."

Her cheeks showed a tint of pinkish to red which made my heart skipped a beat.

'I am so cliche.' I said to myself.

"Do you want anything?" she asked.

"Caramel machiatto, yours?"

"Same, but mine is a frappe," she chuckled.

I extended my hand to give her my credit card.

"What is that?"

"My treat, Sunshine."

She chuckled and rolled her eyes, "My name is Hebiana."

"Yes, and you are my 'Sunshine'."

She chuckled again and grabbed the credit card from my hand. She walked towards the kitchen and processed our orders. After ten to fifteen minutes, she came back holing our orders. She gently placed the tray on the table and handed me my credit card and a receipt.

"You didn't pay for your drink?"

She shook her head, "I own this. Remember?"

I took a sip of my coffee and smiled.

"How is it?" Hebiana asked.

"It tastes good," I commented.

She sighed and chuckled, "Wow. Is it out of honestly or out of shyness?"

"Both," I shyly smiled making her laugh harder.

Withn the span of five hours, she was able to make my day better. I was so happy with her. I felt our moment must not come to an end, but just like any other day, we had to be separated. The five hours with her were filled with laughter and tears - due to laughing too much. To say that it was the best moment of my 2019 was enough. Hebiana was the best moment of my 2019.

"I am sorry, but I need to go," I stood up from my seat and slightly bowed at her.

"No, it's fine. Thank you for visiting me."

"I did not come here just to visit you. I actually came here to see your beautiful smile."

She blushed again and chuckled, "Oh well, you already did. Please take care, Cody."

I smiled back at her. I grabbed my jacket from the seat and waved my hand at her before leaving.

-

"How are you, right now, Cody?" Dr. Oliver, my therapist, asked.

"Good..." I answered, remembering Hebiana. "Sometimes..."

"Is someone making you happy?" he asked.

"Yeah," I smiled lightly.

"I can see it. It's my first time seeing you smile like this. It suits you," he commented. "By the way, do you take your medicines?"

"Regularly," I simply answered.

"That's nice. Do you exercise? Eat healthy foods?" he asked again.

I nodded but then answered him, "I drank a caramel macchiato today."

"What do you feel?"

I shook my head and looked at the table, "Nothing."

"Why is that?"

"Hebiana makes me happy."

I was not able to think about the answer, but my mouth suddenly slipped those words.

"That's nice. That's nice, but please guard your heart and keep it healthy like your body, okay?"

"I'm scared," I whispered breathlessly. "I-I couldn't... explain it..."

"You can tell me in several ways you can. I will listen to you."

"I-I..." I closed my eyes as my hands formed into fists.

The memories of the past still haunts me, and I am too scared for it to happen again.

"You do not have to tell me if you can't. I am always free to listen to you," Dr. Oliver said.

I nodded and opened my eyes to meet his.

"I am sorry..." I whispered.

He smiled lightly and patted my shoulder, "It's fine. Just feel free to tell me anything and everything. Okay?"

I nodded, "I will. Thank you Dr."

"Didn't I tell you to just call me 'Oliver'?"

"Yeah, yeah, Oliver," I answered which made him laugh.

"Take care, Cody!"

He raised his hand and waved it as I nodded and left the room.

I went outside the hospital and saw a familiar figure. I was about to run towards that person when I was stopped by a voice.

"Cody! You forgot your motorcycle keys."

I looked behind me and saw Dr. Oli-- I mean Oliver waving my keys on his hand. He threw it to me and I caught it due to my fast reflexes.

I waved my hand to him, unable to tell him the words 'Thank you.' because my mind was completely drawn to the figure that caught my attention.

We only had met for five days, but I know that Hebiana was the person that I saw.

Questions began lingering around my head, trying to figure out an answer but there seemed to be none. I placed my palm on my head as I felt pain. Little by little, the pain intensified so I decided to sit on the waiting area of the hospital.

'What is she doing here?' was the main question that filled my head.
