Chapter 1. "Miss, is this seat taken?"

Harry is a young man who ended up in a bar wasted by two bottles of _____. He looked around when the bartender woke him up. His eyes locked on a beauty in the corner of the bar.

Emma is a young, hardworking woman who would sacrifice everything just to live with her parents. Her parents never care about Emma since she is a girl. They only care about her younger brother's future. They only scolded Emma when she tried to outshine. So she spent her whole life in the shadow of her brother Jack. That day, she finally breaks those shackles around her, or you can say she is also a runaway lady.

While she was having the second glass, Harry sat on the other side of the table. "Miss, is this seat taken?" Harry asked in a cheesy tone.

Emma frowned her eyes while circling the glass. "Never mind, you won't go away if I tell you to." Harry put his elbow on the table and kept his face on his hand. "You look like you're having a hard time, young lady." Harry's tone was the same. Emma glared at Harry. "What does it have to do with you?"

Harry grabbed the two glasses and filled it "So you also have a hard time, huh! Will you believe me if I say I'm running away from home?". Emma's eyes got widen with Harrys words. She looked at Harry he was not dressed like a hooligan. May be its because that they sharing the same hardship or whatsoever, she pulled a glass. "Since we share the same destiny, I will drink this glass. So why running away?" Emma asked while drinking the glass in one glance.

Harry said while smiling, "My parent's expectations are so high that I can't reach. I tried so hard. But the more you climb, the farther they are. "

Emma poured another two cups."I worked so hard to show that I can be what my parents want me to be." Emma looked in the cup."My brother, who was spoiled by my parents, still acts like a child, even though he is 25. I was always the one to clean his mess." Emma kept her elbow on the table and kept her face on the hand as Harry."You know I was always in envy with my brother. He wasn't the top of the class, but he was cared like a diamond, and here I am the top of the school but never been cared. "

Harry noticed the sorrow and longing of recognition in Emma's words. He slowly pat Emma's head. "You have done great, my lady."

Emma blushed and shook Harry's hand off of her head. Her voice was shivering with shyness. "wha- what are you doing?"

Harry tilted his head and smiled at Emma. "You kinda look cute when you're shy, my lady."

Emma poured another cup and drank it in one go. "Are you always flirt with any girl like this?"

Harry smirked at Emma. He grabbed a cup and started pouring. "If I say I haven't talked to any girl in my whole life, would you believe me?"

Emma was shaken with the secret Harry muttered. "Are you kidding me? Is this your first time talking to a girl? In a bar? With a drunken lady? You seriously have some kind of issues." She laughed at Harry.

"Think what you want. It is the truth. I was kinda girlish man when I was learning at school...." Harry's and Emma's conversation went for hours until the time to close the bar.
