Oxford 20xx's.


That afternoon Agatha was in a public library located in the area with the campus. He was doing his job with Joshua when his bead accidentally caught a familiar figure sitting with a pile of books at the western end of the reading room.


The figure seemed very focused, turning the book sheet in front of him then occasionally taking notes in his book. It continued like that without realizing there was someone else staring at it.


Of course, this library is so vast that from a distance of twenty meters you will not notice the little things across there.


Agatha's brown bead involuntarily continued to follow the figure, seeing her interactions with others, her quick and swift gestures, and it seemed that some people were not bothered by her way of communicating. Unknowingly a line of smiles formed at the corner of Agatha's lips.


"If you're coming to daydream, you'd better leave now" Joshua said softly but it seemed Agatha wasn't listening because her eyes were still focused to a point.


"Agatha..."


He seems to be a person with a good personality.


"Akh!" his throat was startled as Joshua's palm suddenly covered his eyes. "Joshie!"


"You ignored what I said earlier and were busy daydreaming. We're working on a task here if you forget, Agatha," Joshua scolded that he doesn't usually ignore it when he studies like this.


"Yes yes, I know," Agatha snorted and then looked back at her task that was almost done before being distracted by her eye catch just now.


Sometimes Agatha still steals a glance across. Now the figure is now accompanied by a man who seems to be a friend because the two look familiar. Even her friend was using sign language even though Agatha had heard her speaking normally while greeting.


Apparently there are people who can adjust the way of communication with him.


"Halooo's? Is Agatha Anderson here?" this time Joshua knocked Agatha's head slowly because Agatha was daydreaming again. His eyes are now following the direction where his best friend was focusing on seeing since. But he didn't see anything strange there.


"What the hell has made you daydream since? Is there anything that catches Agatha Anderson's attention here?"


"Shhhh! Shut up Josh, don't be noisy in the library," said Agatha, now back in her book, as Joshua looked back to her eyes at the reprimand she should have told Agatha.


"What caught your attention?"


"Nothing."


"I know you so well, Agatha."


"It's nothing Josh, I'm just a little comforting to my eyes," Agatha now refocused on her task and made Joshua stop questioning her further. Whatever it is if Agatha doesn't say it first then all Joshua does is just wait until her best friend speaks later.


There was a thin line of smiles on the corner of Agatha's lips that had unknowingly developed and made her feelings lighter all of a sudden.

In the days after Agatha often went to the library just to look for objects that attracted her views these last few days.


Yesterday was just a coincidence but that doesn't mean it won't happen again, right?


Agatha had never been to a public library before, because her personal library had been quite fulfilling whatever she wanted to find.


The figure was quite easy to find even though the library was a boring place but strangely 'he' was always here every Agatha came here or rather came to observe secretly. Ever since their little accident before, Agatha had never met 'she' in person.


Well, Agatha had no intention at all to look for him before this considering the university was so sprawling with several separate buildings and thousands of students.


And it just so happened that being with Joshua earlier made Agatha somehow 'a little' interested in this figure.


Throughout his observations, Agatha was able to conclude that this man was a fairly good person and despite having 'shortcomings' but his figure was quite social and had many friends. Pretty impressive and interesting.


After feeling enough to observe Agatha decided to leave from there and while passing through the exit she was startled by someone who was previously at a great distance away from her now suddenly standing behind her patting her shoulders softly.


'Hi, we meet again.'


Agatha blinked realizing who was greeting her before replying to the greeting.


"Hi."


'You just finished the library?' the man's hand moved hinting at his question.


"Ah, yes I just finished. Emm, are you a student at the university here?" agatha asked slowly a little hesitating and felt a little wast thinking whether her 'reconnaissance' had been discovered.


The man smiled and pointed to a pin embedded in his backpack. 'I'm a student of the medical department' he replied.


The man took out his little notebook and wrote something there. 'Are you going back to your class?' he handed the note to Agatha.


"Yes, my class starts in 30 minutes" replied Agatha.


The man smiled back, not a big smile but just a small smile on the corner of his lips but somehow when he saw it made Agatha feel like she had stopped breathing for a moment.


Bizarrely.


The two reached a crossroads and subconsciously stopped their steps.


'I have to go to the lab, my friend is waiting. It was nice to see you again," after showing his note and smiling, the man nodded and passed leaving Agatha still speechless.


Too fast and too abstract. Meeting with that guy. Between intentionally and unintentionally.


Then Agatha passed from there feeling light and thinking of visiting the library often again later.

And in the days that followed an Agatha Anderson was more often in the library either just spending time waiting for Joshua or doing his job. What is different is the presence of a figure other than Joshua Sanders who occasionally comes to accompany him.


The handsome and sweet-faced man was sometimes there accompanying Agatha who was strangely accepted and allowed by the girl to be around him. Agatha is known as a figure that is difficult to approach by anyone but Joshua.


Almost everyone who knows about Agatha Anderson knows that. And although many people were quite astonished by the new scene but no one dared to comment on the origin because of course no one would want to deal with the Anderson family if anything happened. Then that little rumor just spread in the department quietly. No one would comment aloud let alone the man who was with Agatha was an 'unusual' figure'.


Agatha was doing her job when her phone vibrated from her backpack pocket. Joshua calling.


"Where are you, honey?"


"In the library."


"About? What's with the library now, you've been there a lot lately."


"Of course there are a lot of books here, what else?"


There was a snort from Joshua, "I'm done with class, I'll pick you up."


"Well," after turning off her phone, Agatha began tidying up her books and preparing to wait for her best friend.


'You, are you going?' the sweet man before him asked through his little notes.


"Ah yes, I'm done. My friend will pick you up in a minute."


The man gave a small nod, then his finger was busy writing something down on his little note. 'You'll come again tomorrow?'


Agatha was stunned to read the question, "It seems not, because tomorrow I only attend the afternoon class," then the girl got up from her seat. After nodding as a sign of farewell, Agatha waltzed away leaving behind a man who was like her still going to do her job again.


Agatha had just stepped onto the second step when her shoulder was patted gently by someone. Again, he was surprised to find who was behind him.


'Hi, sorry if this is sudden' the man showed his note then flipped it over.


'We've met many times, but I don't know you.'


Agatha was stunned again and did not know what to respond until the man flipped his note again, 'I am Mikael, what is your name?'


So all this time she didn't know who I was?


After being silent for a while Agatha then extended her hand to the man before her and a line of smiles was engraved on her thin lips.


"Agatha!"


The girl turned her face when a familiar voice called out to Joshua. His best friend was already standing three steps behind him and was staring in wonder at him.


"We're leaving now?" joshua asked who glimpsed his eyes at the man before Agatha. The girl nodded at him before turning to the other man.


"It's nice to meet you Mikael," after which Agatha took off their handshake and passed by holding Joshua's arm away from there, leaving behind a man named Mikael who was now standing staring at his disappearance.


'Agatha.'
