Episode 2


Joseph drove inside a restaurant, and packed in their garage . he had decided to go for the date and satisfy his parent. He went inside the restaurant, the cool air inside the restaurant cooled his anxious mind. He looked around ,searching for his date. He saw a lady sitting alone at a corner beside a flower. He then approach her.

"You must be......" He tries to remember her name

"Anna" she helped him out "and you are Joseph"

"Yes, but I prefer joe" he corrected

"Alright Joe" she said quickly and as tender as possible " I am not used  to this kind of thing"

"What kind of thing?" He asked absentmindedly

"I mean the blind date of a thing"

"Ohhhhh" he shouted and suddenly felt embarrassed "Neither do I"

"Wait a minute, you look so young and beautiful to be on a blind date, don't you have a boyfriend??" 

She looked at him sternly and felt embarrassed

"I am sorry, if am evading your privacy" he apologize quickly

"Not at all . Am only surprised you started the conversation with that kind of question

. Most men would want to know more about me first before asking about my past"

"Really?" Joseph wondered if he was already outdated

"Yea, anyway I once had a boyfriend... No that is an understatement. He was my fiance. He had introduced me to his parent and I have also done the same. We were preparing for our wedding and all of a sudden, he started complaining. I visited him one certain day and it was late, so I couldn't go home" she paused and looked at Joseph reaction "its not what you are thinking"

"I wasn't thinking anything" Joseph said immediately "how could she had known what was on his mind.... was it that obvious" he thought

"Well, that night he complained I was snoring. That was just the beginning of our problem. There is nothing I do that gets him satisfied. In a nutshell he said he was tired of the whole thing. He said he got tired of me" she couldn't bear the pain as she narrated her last, so she brought out her handkerchief and wiped her tears.

Joseph sat comfortably on the chair, and consoled her. Her case was similar to his. They are both love birds who had lost their humanity because of their love ones

"Well. I just don't know what to say" he became short of words

"Don't feel pity for me. Its all gone now, the deed has already been done" she said

Joseph suddenly remembered his bad manner, he hadn't offered her anything to eat nor drink

"Pardon my manners, what will you like to take?" He felt so awkward

"Oh..." She was surprised. She had also forgot, she was lost completely in the discussion "when last have you gone for a date?" She asked him

"Last month, why did you ask?"

"Well, you seem not to know how to interact with a girl on dates"

"Am so sorry" he apologize "to be candid, i've never taken those dates seriously. Even this! I was forced to come" he said as he signalled the waiter

"So this date means nothing to you?" She asked looking straight into his eye but he avoids

"Well, I wouldn't want to start a friendship based on lies. It means nothing to me.

. I only came on my parent order" he said

"That's good, thanks for being sincere" she smiled "I also came based on my mom instructions, I have always been indoor since the incident with my Ex. I have never gone on any date since then, I wanted to take my time before falling for a man again"

"Hmmmmmmnn"

"So Joe, you haven't told me anything about yourself"

"Sir what can I get you?" A young man in his mid twenties interrupted their conversation "here is our menu"

The waited handed them the menu and they both glance through it.

"Get me just a bottle of orange juice" she said and returned the menu back to him. He then turned to Joseph

"Ehmmmmmmmmm" he said as he scroll down the menu "get me a bottle of brandy...."

Her countenance changed and he could see something in her eye but he just didn't know what it was.

"Rule out the brandy and get me whatever the lady wants" he said finally

The waiter make way to the bar to get what was ordered

"So you drink?" She said adamantly and sharply

Joseph thought of a reply to give her but his brain just couldn't decode the message. And after some few seconds he finally gained his foot.

 "Yes, socially and nothing serious" he said

"Well, I think you can now tell me more about yourself"

"I will but not now. The story of my life and how I became like this is not something I could narrate in just four sentence. It would contain more sheet than I can ever think of. So I will tell you later"

"Why not now?" She insist "I gat nothing doing and i'm already enjoying your company, except if you are not willing to share"

"Okay, no problem" he accepted defeat. The waiter served them and left. "Did you come with a car?" He asked

"No,why did you ask?"

"Mind if I drop you at home?" He said with a smile "and I will tell you the whole story then"

"Is that a promise?" 

"Yes" Joseph was surprised at how he was already fond of her , that is unusual. 
"There is something in her that makes us connected" he thought. 

After they were done, they stood up and left. Joseph took her home, he felt so relieved around her unlike with the other girls he had gone a date with. There was something about her that kept drawing him closer to her, but what that is remained an unanswered question in his head.
