The heavenly incense of mint and lavender invaded the gloomy room. The fragrance greeted it's new visitors with delight, hung in the fervent atmosphere like decorations. It gave off a warm welcome.

The three friends scanned the place in awe. The ceiling was painted like the skies above, with white dots that represents the stars and it's constellations, the walls are painted maroon, the place was designed with candles giving off a peaceful feeling, flowers and petals scattered everywhere. Figures and paintings of stars and galaxies were present in every corners of the room, the room wasn't well lit, but it gave off a serene scene.

It was not that bad as Felice thought it would be. The girl who numerously declined her friends' offer to visit a fortune teller, but ended up being dragged by those mentioned people, Arianne and Marcus.

The short brunette girl was stunned at the theme of the room; flowers you can see in spring, fluffy rugs and pillows you want to have in winter, the galaxies that reminds her of the time where it's perfect for stargazing.

She chuckled silently when she saw her friends' reactions. Both were quietly rhapsodizing about the interior designs and the theme, childishly giggling and talking about how inspiring the setting was to them.

'How fascinating' were her thoughts, touching a hand sculpture, with a red string tied around it's pinky finger. Although the end was never found in her line of sight, she do know what this sculpture represents. Thus, she moved on to admire other stuff.

Soon, she saw a silhouette at the back of the small room, quietly shuffling his deck of tarot cards with a small satisfied smile plastered on his star-dusted rosy cheeks. Felice's two friends looked at each other in amazement before quietly siting down on the soft furry carpet, where the table with violet tablecloth was and where the stranger was.

Felice's eyes describe him as 'odd'. A man who has a flower crown embellished with alstromeria, iris, red poppies and purple lilacs, matched with small plastic gemstones. He was
wearing a normal grey turtle-neck sweater, and an emerald necklace. He shone like a star, with his stardusted cheeks and black hair.

He oddly gave her a sense of.. emotions.

"Ah, yes." his mild British accent echoed. "Welcome.. to my realm of dreams."

"I've been expecting your arrival, thank stars and heavens for our meeting, my fellow comrades."

Felice tentatively sat on the soft, white carpet, beside her friend Marcus. Her eyes met his, her luscious chocolate eyes met his forest green eyes, she fell into a trance, and all the pyschic was to smile to himself, and neatly placed the cards on the table and scatter them as it forms into a line.

The stunned brunette girl watched her friends to hand their palms for the psychic to read their fortune. With a grin on his face, he flipped the cards that was meant for the two; Ari and Marcus.

Ari, the tough and responsible one, will find success after all her efforts.

Marcus, the fashionable and resourceful one, will find fame and recognition.

Both of them squealed in delight, and proudly shared theirs as if the other didn't heard it at all. Felice sighed, and shrug it off to avoid annoyance.

"It's time for your prediction, chocolate."

Felice flinched and her eyes landed on the psychic who was wearing a smirk. She was filled with hesitance but soon unfolded her palm, the stardusted male soon read her palm and trace lines with finger.

"How interesting.." the psychic mumbled, returning to his tarot cards and look at it, focused.

Marcus raised an eyebrow with curiosity. "Why is that..?"

"Am I going to be kidnapped or mysteriously gone..?" Felice blurted her ominous thoughts.

"Oh my, it's far from that." the psychic chuckled nervously.

"Then what is it..?"

"You'll be living a good life after all these issues you've been through."

"The aftermath..?"

"Yes.. and you'll find true love in a such unexpected way, time and place."

A spark of curiosity has flickered inside Felice's mind. She looked puzzled and listened to his words carefully.

"True love..? Does true love exists?" the girl questioned, a tons of memories of her past partners flooded her mind but the stingy feeling didn't haunt her anymore.

"My dear, yes it does." the psychic answered in glee. "In fact, yours will happen sooner. The life-changing turn of events will come and do such good impact."

Felice only laughed bitterly and retrieved her hand away, rolling her eyes in denial. "What a bunch of filthy lies.."

"It is not. And I can assure you that it's true. Come over once again, and I'll give you advice, for then, you can see this prediction unfolds in front of you."

Felice pondered over it for some time, considering her broken heart and her pride. She wanted to prove the psychic so badly, that she was nothing, and there will be no one out there to love someone as broken as her.

She only wear her competitive expression and flash a smirk, and shakes his hand in a form of agreement.

"Let's see if this is just a complete bullshit, or not, Mr. Destiny."

"Please miss..

Call me Sam."
