When Fate Decided to Play its Part

Prologue

Pitter, patter.

The raindrops fell one by one, clattering against the glass window. Not long after, the sky cried fully,  obstructing the person inside the room to see the outside through the window.

Yet, the person was not bothered by it at all. The sound of rain did not even reached her ears as she stared intently on the her phone that was lying silently on her pale palms, her thumb anxiously rubbing against its edge.

Moments later, Althea moved her fingers to type on the phone. She hesitated for a second before sending the text.

:Tyler? 

She typed. 

:Can we meet?

Althea sucked in a rather large amount of air and letting it out through her mouth shakily, while waiting a reply from that person. She waited expectantly.

But seconds, minutes passed, and Tyler has yet to reply.

'Again,' Althea thought inwardly. 'He did not replied to me again.'

"You're just being paranoid."
