Cottage Dream Café

"Why did everyone hate me? I did nothing. What's my fault? Is there will be a person or even a bug like me? Even if it's not a love."

She's mumbling again. What a pity for this little girl. Got nothing but hate. Had no parents nor siblings. She keep thinking over the same thing since she got expelled by her adopted parents. His (adopted) father had to do this, all because of his wife. She hate her.

"Shoot! I lost again!", in this forest, it's almost impossible to escape. She take out her hand from the pocket. It's 12:02 pm. The sun. She can't see it. The oak trees has closed her vision. There's nobody behind or in front of her. She continue her journey to the destination that she didn't confirm where. Step by step, her bottle is out of drink, she check her backpack but there's nothing to eat even a peanut. She continue her journey with a hopeless face.

"Drusilla", someone calling her name more than once. She take a two step backwards and turn around. "Louis, long time no see". Louis Noah, a 20 years old man. Had blonde hair, dark blue waist coat and the vintage monocle. He always wear his 'mad hatter' hat wherever he go. They continue their chat in a café that lost in the deepest forest called le café . "May I take your order?", the maid ask. "I'll have a cup of coffee- I mean, cappuccino." "Me too", she added. "So... 'Shorty'? How are you doing?", she spill her cappuccino. That nickname was given by him. The last time she heard that nickname was when she's 9 years old. "Shorty. The last time I heard that nickname... You were still a crybaby, right?", he giggle. Almost spill his coffee. "At that time, you were a happy girl but... What happened to you?", she don't want reply his question. The only thing she done is sip coffee. When Louis knew that the happy cloud will going to cry if he continues it, he quickly change his question.

"Uhm. Let's move on to the next question.", she nod. He take out his pocket watch from his pocket. She's questioning her life. Why did he take out his watch? "Lady Drusilla."

"Would you like to live in *Merveilles ?"

"Mer- Merv what?", what kind of place is that? "You'll love it." He open the watch. It shows the life in Merveilles. It's so beautiful. It have a lot of plants, waterfall and even a historical mansions and palaces. The waterfall will never stop watering the plants. The mansion had a gothic theme. The building is full of mosses and funguses. "The place... It's gorgeous but..... Where's the people?", that's right. The only thing missing in this watch is only people. "They need your help. They have no queen nor king. If they don't get help by you, this city- I mean Merveilles will. Destroy.", she abstinence whenever she heard the word 'help'.

"I'm so sorry, Louis but I can't. They're to many things to do if I want to move that place. At least, can you show the place first? I want to visit it.", he shake his head in disagreement. "That's the rule. You must live in Merveilles without visit it first.", is he crazy? Of course she need to visit it first if she want to live in that place. "You know what? That's it! I will not live in Merveilles !", she stand up. "Finally, you name the place!" "Are you crazy? Of course I need to visit it first." "Well, that's the rule. I can't disobey the rule that given by the minister.", he stand up too. She take her handbag, stomp her feet and she exit the café in anger. "You're crazy!", Louis sit down. He sip the coffee while rewatching the life in Marveilles in his watch.

*Merveilles = place of wonder

"She'll make it anyway."
