Mysterious Woman

"Sigh" I should really stop thinking about our past, it's been five years already I should let it go.

I called Riz after reading Kael's message to not worry her and chose to sleep early.

The next day I woke up early to ready myself for work. Today is my first day at work after coming back from Spain. I work for a private construction company under my Uncle.

I guess it's been really seven years, after graduating in college I work in different companies in Spain for two years to gain experience. During those busy times of mine I hardly think of Kael. So I don't know, do I still love him? 'Arabella enough of this thoughts.'

After my morning routine I finally drove to my now new workplace. As I step inside I can feel that the atmosphere inside seems to be welcoming. I guess my worries doesn't matter, I can totally adjust to this new environment.

At some mansion.

"Madam she's back" someone stiffly said behind a woman who's about in her early fifties. "Ohhh, I see when did she arrived" the woman asked not looking back to her attendant. "About a week ago." "That's great I should contact her family right?" the old woman stood up and look through her window with an unexplainable expression. "It's still too early, madam we should wait for some more time and he already know she's back, he might have some plan already." The mysterious middle aged woman answeres "Then continue to keep an eye on what would happen."

"Ughh, this day is actually quite nerve wracking." I stated while rubbing my temples. I didn't expect adjusting to a new is hard. I mean I've been to a lot of different companies before for my job experience but this is different. Spain's and Australia's workplace environment is totally different.

Today I left the company early since It's still my first day and I'm just familiarizing myself in the company. Riz decided that we go out tonight and have some girls night out together with our best friends.

Riz and I got to know each other during our senior years in high school and she was a transferee. While my other two best friends are my schoolmates, one is my classmate ever since the start of high school and one is from another section whom I just got to know during our senior years. And as the four of us became classmates our friendship starts to bloom.

Riz and my best friends actually planned our night out for so long and I actually am not informed, or maybe I haven't got to know about it since I don't actually read their chats in our group chat.

My witch friends already book a restaurant for our dinner. The restaurant should've only took ten minutes to drive but I spent way too long to find my way. I've always been blind with my directions and even with the help of a GPS, I still drove in circles that last for ten damn minutes.

When I arrived at the restaurant, I can't help but sigh when the only one who's waiting there is Madeleine, my other best friend. It's been seven years and my friends still haven't changed Soleil and Beatrice are still not here. After who knows how long Riz and Sol arrived together this two late comers even have the guts to arrived together.

Our dinner has been great and we are all just catching up with our life. I even got the hot seat as I've been away for too long. This witches are actually very nosy with my love and sex life asking about how 'good' Spanish men are. I don't even want to know what they meant by good.

After me and Kael's breakup I actually also dated. I actually am very angry at myself at some point, since my relationships after Kael didn't last that long. The longest one is actually just a month and I can't even tell if we really are even a little bit serious with each other as we only meet once or twice a week being too busy with our own lives. Looking back at those I can totally say my taste in men is bad. Not only am I not serious with the relationship but the person I chose to date is actually the same as me.

I tried so hard to divert the topic about my life asking my friends with their respective love life also. Great thing they didn't dwell on mine too much for them to notice how boring my life's been so far.

After our dinner we decided to continue our catching up in a rooftop bar chilling. The girls and I sat at the edge of the rooftop viewing the city night view. I felt nostalgia surge through my bones, as I look to the colorful bright city and feel the cold night breeze of Sydney, I can totally say I've missed this. Coming back to your country after so many years brings such a different comfort. I felt being back to my home after a long adventure from the outside world.

I don't know if someone noticed my trance reminiscing everything but suddenly the witches actually decided to drown me with their tight hug. I'm not a person who enjoys this kind of sweet moment but I let them be. This warmth, this is the reason that made me come back to this place. The girls offered me a toast for me finally coming back and I gladly accept it.

Our laugh and chatter last for hours at the rooftop bar until I finally felt that I'm drunk. I didn't notice that I actually drank a lot and my vision is blurry. I looked around and my friends are also starting to get drunk except for Madi.

I look around our table and I can't find Sol while Riz is so drunk that her mouth can't shut up. I excused myself from them when I felt the urge to pee.
