Chapter 2.

KIM POV.

3.00 PM. Time goes so fast, I am about to close my eyes when my alarm rang. I just come back to my room 1 hour a go, wanted to get nap but I couldn’t because I stared at a photo of unknown woman, silly reason, I know. I turned off my laptop, and prepared my camera. I wore grey short pants, and V white neck t-shirt, also blue sneakers as my outfit, and put leather bracelet on my arm. I didn’t mind to tidied my hairs, I will go to Phnom Bakheng, according to information that I read, I need to hike around 15 minutes to go to the top, so I just put my caps.

I took my camera bag and closed the door, put my sunglasses when I walked to avoid eye contacts with other people. I am not in the mood to chit chat or smile. Yes, even smile. I am too tired.

“Hello, Sir!” My driver greeted me, who is his name before? Taro? Rano? I don’t remember but trust me it sounds like that.

“Hello, let’s go.” I said and jumped to the car. This car is to big for me alone, but I don’t want to take tuk-tuk, car is better, it has air conditioner.

“Where are we going, Sir?”

“Angkor Watt, for sunset.” I put my headphone, and turned the song, once again, only to avoid talks. He drives carefully, we arrived in Angkor Watt gate, they asked for my ticket, I showed them my one day ticket, my driver start to drive again, I prepare my camera, wide lens will be better for the sunset view. The sky is good, it’s not cloudy, sunset will be so beautiful.

Still listening to the music, is started to hike while toting my camera, I left my camera bag in the car. The song played on my ears, while capturing the view, I am not on the top but the view is already good, I am wondering how it looks like on the top. After a view minutes of walking, I arrived on the top, but I have to climb the stairs first. Just a few people comes here. it’s not crowded. Now, I am on the top of Angkor Watt, it’s fascinating.

It’s a ruined temple on the top of Phnom Bakheng. And I could capture Angkor watt 360 degree view from above. I am busy taking picture, after a while, I am looking for the good spot to capture the sun set. People start to come, it’s getting crowded, luckily I got a good spot. The day will be gone, twilight will be appears in no time, this is the moment, I captured so many pictures, it’s breath taking. I change my camera directions, and I saw her again on my lens. She is standing alone, the orange twilight is her background. I am stunning by her existence. The wind blows her hair, her smile hypnotized me. Don’t take it wrong, I am not falling in love. It’s a natural things if a man saw a beautiful woman and admire her. I captured her with my camera. I need to know who she is. I went to her side.

“It’s beautiful.” I said. The orange light of the twilight shaded her eyes.

“Sorry?” She asked me.

“I said the sun set and the view is beautiful. My name is Kim.” I offered her my hand.

“Is that your way to acquainted with every woman?” She said straightly.

I smiled, her responses is unpredictable. “I am traveling by my self, so I think making friends is good.” She looked at me, her eyes is beautifully brown. Without answering me, she threw her sight back to the view. “Well, I admitted that I found you attractive and ended up here, asking you your name without any responses.” She still didn’t bother me. Don’t call me Kim if I didn’t get her name. “Fine, good bye, Miss Unknown.”

“Pie.” She said it, while I am about to go. She is staring at me, so do I. “What?” she asked me.

I shook my head, offered her my hand while smiling, she shook my hand. “you have a soft skins.” I said.

“That’s a weird compliment.”

“I think I didn’t mean it as a compliment, just being honest. Where are you from?”

“You don’t look like a Holland, I am from LA.” She is too Asian to be a Hollanders. She is small, her height maybe 150 cm as height as my chest. Her skin is Asian skin, also her face.

“You too. Well, I am from Thailand but staying in Amsterdam.”

“I see, me too.” I smiled. The twilight is fade away, sky is ge
