The next minute, she slowly opened her eyes and her eyes caught the tall figure that just entered the restaurant. It's him! He was tall, with neatly styled blonde hair and striking blue eyes that exude warmth. He carried a big bouquet of rose flowers in his hand. From his outfit, she looked so underdressed. He was definitely dressed to impress. Also, the bouquet of flowers, it looks expensive. As soon as their eyes met, his expression asked lots of questions. Immediately, Angela felt a wave of emotions crash over her. Excitement, nervousness, and a twinge of guilt. Was she really ready to move on from Antonio? Standing up from her seat, she waved at him, her heart pounding. She forced a smile, pushing aside the lingering sadness that tried to sneak into her heart. Thinking about Antonio will spoil this day. This was her chance to finally move on, and she was determined not to let her past hold her back. As he approached, his smile was bright and lovely. His aura was gentle yet intimidating because of his height and fashion sense. “Angela?” he asked. Angela nodded and blushed a little. “Mr. Ken?” She asked. “Please call me just Ken. You look absolutely stunning tonight.” He replied, his eyes staring at her intensely. His voice was smooth and kind, immediately putting her at ease. “It's nice to meet you, Ken”. Angela replied. Ken was still staring at her, then he blinked. “Sorry, I was too carried away by your beauty, I forgot those (extends the rose to her). Here, this is for you, my lady”. Angela accepted the rose with a slight blush, touched by the gesture and flattered by his compliment. “Thank you, Ken. You’re quite handsome yourself,” she replied softly and smelt the rose, her earlier tension beginning to melt away. “I appreciate that”. Ken replied with a smile. He went ahead and pulled out her chair, waiting for her to sit before taking his seat across from her. “You’re very kind.” Angela said and took her seat. “I’m glad you agreed to meet me,” he said, his blue eyes so oceanic and sincere. “I hope I’m not making you too nervous.” Angela chuckled lightly, feeling more relaxed by the second. “I was a little nervous. It’s been a while since I’ve done something like this.” She said shyly avoiding his gaze. She smiled, her eyes meeting his eyes with a newfound confidence. “I understand perfectly. It's been a while since I have gone on a date with a very beautiful woman. I feel you…we are on the same page”. He replied. Angela blushed. Ken smiled back at her, then he glanced around the restaurant and raised his hand to call for a waiter. A young lady server approached their table with a polite smile. “Good evening, how can I assist you?” the waitress asked, her tone soft and friendly . “We’re ready to order some drinks,”Ken replied. He looked up at Angela for her choice first. Angela nodded shyly, but feeling more at ease with each passing moment. “I’ll have a glass of white wine, please.” “And I’ll have the same,”Ken added, turning back to the waitress. “Thank you.” “A server will deliver your order shortly”. The waitress replied and went away. Angela drew a deep breath. The evening was going better than she had hoped, and the connection she felt with this man was undeniable. Maybe, just maybe…they can get to know each other better after this date. "Here's your wine, sir..ma'am”. The waiter said, breaking into Angela's thoughts. He placed the bottles down on the table,then poured the wine into their wine glasses. “Thanks”. Angela said to him. The waiter raised his face and their eyes met. Instantly ,her breath caught in her throat. The face before her was unexpected, sending a shockwave through her entire body. Antonio! He is alive! Standing just a few feet away, dressed in a waiter’s uniform. His hair was a bit shorter, and there was a new softness to his expression. Is he really Antonio or just a look alike? No those eyes! It's undeniably him. Antonio Montero! Angela’s heart pounded wildly in her chest, her world spinning out of control. How could this be happening? How was he here in Japan? He looks so utterly different! The man she had mourned, the one she had never truly let go of, was suddenly right in front of her! Is she dreaming in broad daylight! Or maybe hallucinations! “Angela?” Ken called..…confused at her reaction but Angela didn't blink. Tears flooded down her face as she kept her eyes glued to Antonio's. But something was wrong. Antonio didn’t recognize her,or was he pretending not to? “Ma'am are you okay?” Antonio asked, also confused at the awkwardness of the whole thing. Angela felt herself go cold, her body freezing in place as her mind struggled to process the situation. For a moment, everything else faded away. The restaurant, her date, even her own sense of reality. “An…Antonio?”
