Where We First Met

“ Hey, Stella! Wake up! We have orders coming up!” The boss of cafe called out.

Stella woke up immediately and started to work. She had been working here for two full years. She forced to be here, with humans, by her father, and still he hasn’t not even reach out to her to see how she does so far….

The reason she’s here, it has to start back from two years ago… In the blue sea with clear view, natural plants, and joyful creatures swimming around. Stella used to be the royal mermaid because she is the daughter of Kiran, the King of Sea, everytime she ask him about her mom, her father always refused to talk about it. Everyone of the Sea will have to respect her. But what’s bad things about this, she always causes troubles because no one will be brave enough to stop her, but she’s afraid of her father.

There was one time she was playing in a factory, the one that has stored the source that the Sea need every second. But she absorbed way too much power for fun that cause the power turned off. Which causes all the blue light source shutdowns, including the workplaces, and there are accidents.

After Kiran fixed the power sources to start working again, he immediately pulled Stella into her room,

“ Stella, how many times have I told you to not make anymore troubles?!” He is furious because she will take his place as the ruler of the Sea. But she still acts as a three years old child.

“ I was just playing around, what’s the deal?” Stella still doesn’t realize the issues she made.

“ You just cut the whole power source, which will shutdown everything!” Kiran lost his patience because he already told her so many times about how important the power source is, to keep the Sea alive and provide oxygen for all creatures.

Kiran has trying to think of a way to let Stella to be more mature, then he has a plan,

“ Stella, I will send you to Human World.” He told Stella.

“ Why father? I thought we can’t to close to their area?”

“ I told you they are not allow to be close to our area but we can still be close theirs.” He got annoyed.

“ I will send you there to be on your own.” He continued.

“ I don’t want to go there! I….” She has become weak and faint because father suddenly locked all of her power up. It was painful as her mermaid body turned into a human body. Then she was left alone out somewhere away from the Sea.

“ It’s for your best Stella.” It was hard for Kiran to do this too.

“ It’s time for you to be mature enough in order to be a leader.”

When Stella wakes up, she’s already in somewhere that she is not familiar with. She surprised she is on her feet instead of tails….

This is why Stella now end up working in a cafe, because if she doesn’t have any money, then she won’t be able to live long, that’s why she learned so far as she live as a human.

There is still no word from father, she’s mad at him for doing this to her.

“ Stella! You break another plate again!” Stella realized she broke another plate to the floor as boss, Liza, yelled on her.

“ I’m sorry Liza.” As she picking up the pieces.

“ There is an order number 6 table. How about you take care that?” Liza pointed at the order that is waiting to bring to the customer.

“ Ok Liza, I’m on it.” Stella stand up quickly and start to pick up the order, with a cup of coffee.

As on her way to the customer, someone had tripped her over, and she lost her balance and fell.

When she thought that she might be injured, but,

“ Hey, can you get off me?” A voice that makes Stella to open her eyes, then realized that she lies on top of a handsome man, with brown hair, diamond face blue eyes, wear suits.

Her heart starts pounding so fast and still thinks that it’s a dream….

Episode 3

“ Are you done staring at me?” The man asked Stella in a cold voice. She stood up quickly and apologized, “ I’m so sorry sir, I didn’t do it on purpose.” The man looked at his suit with coffee, his face became more scary, and he pointed to his suit, “ I have a meeting to attend in a hour, how can I go like this?” His voice has made Stella starts shivering without even realize it herself.

What should I do? Stella is thinking what do to, but suddenly, “ Is there any problem here?” Liza asked.

“ Are you the boss?” The man asked. “ Yes I am.” Liza replied. “ Your worker has spilled the coffee onto my suit on purpose, and I have a meeting to go in a hour.” The man said coldly.

“ I didn’t do it on purpose!” Stella shouted at him. “ I tripped over something so I lose my balance!” She can’t stand someone just said she do something on purpose without any proofs.

“ Sir, there is a store that sells suits right over there.” She pointed to the store’s direction. “ Will you please forgive my worker for this?” Liza pointed to the camera as she said to the man.

Don’t even try to hurt Stella! Liza said in her mind.

The man become more angry, he pulled out a card and put it on the table as he leaves. He gave Stella a death look that says,

You won’t get away from this! Which makes Stella to start shivering even more.

After the man left, Liza had told everyone to get out then closed the cafe immediately, she hugged Stella to comfort her, “ It’s alright now. I won’t let anyone hurt you.” She patted Stella’s head.

I won’t let the same thing happened to you! Liza always make that promise to herself every time when Stella gets hurt, because two years ago Stella had been raped by some strangers as a price for accidently broke one of their watches. Liza was the one who saved her. That was the first time Liza met Stella and saw her being hurt like that.

Stella hugged Liza back, “ Thank you.” she said to Liza. After for a while, Liza told Stella wait for her outside, when Stella nodded and went outside. Liza picked up the card that was left by the man. As she reads,

Luce, CEO of Business Company.

I won’t let you do anything to get close to Stella for any reason. Liza said to herself in her mind.

After the meeting, Luce went to his office immediately and called his secretary to his office. A moment after, there is a knock on the door, “ Come in.” Luce said.

Anthony, Luce’s most trusted secretary, “ You called for me boss?” he asked. Luce handed him the photo of a cafe he went to this morning, “ Search this cafe’s worker information and give it to me in three hours.” Luce said coldly.

“ What for?” Anthony asked Luce.

To let her pay for what she had done to my suit! Luce said in his mind. “ Nothing, just do what I asked you to do.” After Luce dismissed Anthony. He pulled out a photo from his drawer. It’s a photo with only him and his mother when he was little. That suit is the only thing that can remind him of his mother, because his mother made that suit for his 10 years old birthday before she passed away due to stomach cancer.

After a hour, Anthony came to Luce’s office with a file, “ Boss, here is the information you asked for the cafe worker.” As Luce opened the file,

Stella… We will meet again soon. Luce flipped through the file of Stella’s information, and he realized something weird. “ Are these all of her information?” He asked Anthony. “ Yes, these are all of her information.”

There is no way she has these less backgrounds. There must be more. Luce starts to get interest in Stella’s identity.
