Strangers
She was sitting at the corner table and scribbling something in her diary. Suddenly someone pulled the chair in front of her and occupied that. She looked at him with a confused face. They both exchanged a stare and a mandatory smile. By observing the two empty cups and the third one with half-filled coffee he concluded that she likes coffee. 'Don't worry; it will be fine', he said. She thought he was talking with someone on the phone. He again repeated the same words. She looked at him but didn't utter a word. He took a piece of paper from his pocket and kept it on the table and left. She thought it would be the same trick that many guys try to impress a girl. She was expecting a love letter along with his phone number. But to her surprise, she found that the paper was similar to the pages of her diary. She immediately opened that and found that it was from her diary. A few days back she wrote something in her diary which read as follows:
'It is very difficult to live in. Especially in the world filled with imperfections, people want others to be perfect'.

But for some strange reason, she tore that paper and kept it in her bag. She didn't know how he gets that. She looked around for him, but he was not there. She was totally confused.
On the back of that paper, something was written and it read as follows:
"A person to love and a goal to strive for is enough to live".
She read that again. She read that again but this time a smile on her face made her look more beautiful. She again looked around for him, but he was not there. She had no idea who he was. He was a complete stranger for her.
She completed the remaining coffee and paid the bill. Again she read those two lines; folded the paper and kept it inside her bag. Before leaving, she took out the half-consumed drugs packet from her bag and left it on the table.
Linkin park's 'Leave Out All The Rest' was playing in the background.
She collected her belongings and left the coffee shop with a smile on her face.
They never met again.
