Name Nanial judas. Male. 23yrs old.Works in a international company(can't name for tech reasons). Just got transferred to Paris. Home town is a secret. I just got off the international airport. Since my company sponsored my work here, my apartment, my car and even the petrol which goes into my car is paid by my company. Lucky huh...
Paris is a beautiful city,i like the old buildings and the roads and even the roadside cafes... i reach my apartment, tired and went to bed. Since it was new for me in the city, i decided to take a taxi to work for the first day, even when i own a car, coz i'm bad at directions...
My office starts at 10. just to be on a safe side and not to be late on the first day, you know like traffic and stuff. i called the cab at 8. Probably the best thing done or the worst. The place i work is just 10 min drive, 15min walk from where i stay.This was my first day, How should i know?!!!
Anyway, i reached there only to find the place opens at 9, with the guard sitting outside.. And most of all i dono french.it got me worried, how do i survive in the place where i dono the language, place. for the most the people could be making fun of me, how would i know..?!!!
Instead of sitting on the steps, i decided to take a walk, and to my luck found a cafe, open just on the diagonally opposite to the office. next to the cafe was a music academy. I was sitting outside alone on a table, a waiter comes to me and said something in french. I quickly replied,"I dono french, english pls". the waiter,"We don't serve english, what do u want?"."Oho, sorry. one coffee pls". "which one?".me,"huh?!". "black,latte, which one?". me, "latte pls". As i was waiting for my latte, a girl came and sat in my table. If you are wondering, that it was a big table, no it was a table for two. and i did't know her. She noticed me looking at her, and said,"Sorry, this is my usual table.So u r the one sitting in my table".me,"I don't see any reservations anywhere, do u want me to move". "if u like...". Then my latte came, along with her coffee(dono which). i started my coffee, took out my phone, and started looking around. I paid no attention to her, and was in no hurry to finish my latte, since i wanted to spend time till pass 9.But i did notice that she opened a notebook and started writing some character (musical), so figured that she was from the music school and was waiting for he academy to open. Didn't talk to her after that. She looked busy, so i never bothered.
For about a half an hour, we stood there sitting on the table, without exchanging a word. I know i was a silent type, but it was even beyond my threshold. So i said,"Music.. r u from this academy?". "yes". it's the only reply i got. after that she looked around. started putting the book inside and went off to the academy.
