Cashless Transaction: A Love Story

It's another sunny day and here I am again facing the same mirror where I am doing my makeup going to work. I gaze at the window and sigh, "***it's such a beautiful day***". I grabbed my bag and left the house. On my way to the office, I dropped by to my favorite coffee shop. As I enter to the cafe, I bumped to a stranger. My bag slide off my shoulders and fell on the ground so I kneeled down to get it, but as I reach my hands towards my bag, a soft man's hand touched my hand. I slowly look up and take a glance to his face and.. Ring!!! Ring!!! Ring!!! My alarm clock rang! `Disclaimer: This is just a product of wild imagination and fantasy.` Unfortunately, it's just another dream of mine. I get off to bed and took a bath and as usual after bathing I sit on the same place where I do my makeup every morning. I'm sitting in front of something who knows my secrets, my pain, my disappointments, my sadness, and happiness; my mirror. Hi! I'm Jane, 28 years of age, single for several years now, an office worker. I've been living by myself for three years now. I was raised in the province but took the courage to go out and look for a better opportunities that's not nowhere to be found in the province. I work not because I needed to provide for my family but because of myself, I wanna prove myself that I could be something, that I can live without my parents financial support, I wanna be independent. I'm about to finish my makeup when I noticed the time. Stopping by to a cafe has become a habit of mine, so I always allocate time for it. So I grabbed my things and rashly went out. Finally! I arrived at the cafe. Upon entering I saw two line towards the counter and there are 5 people before me. It's okay because I still have enough time (I guess, lol). Okay, the person in front of me is about to leave. And once he turned around I rashly said " one Iced Americano please". Upon uttering those words my heart beats fast. Why? Because at the same time there's a guy who said the same thing. I slowly, look at the person beside me, and I can't calm myself. It's a fine guy in black suits. The butterflies in my stomach suddenly raging. My ears feels so hot. I must say, he's my type. But I need to calm myself, I should act like it was nothing. So I looked back at the cashier. And she said " ***it's Two dollars ma'am***". I responded "***okay, wait a minute***". I took my wallet on my bag and there's no wallet to be found. I panicked because I know it's always in there even at home. Oh my, this is so embarrassing. I kept searching on my bag and still can't find it. Then I suddenly heard a man's voice "***Do you accept Bitcoin Cash?***", Then the cashier replied "***Yes sir***" then showed the QR code on the desk. Then I heard a manly voice again, " ***Great! I'll pay for hers***". At that moment I told myself "***He's the one***". *To be continued*... Thank you for reading this article.
