Anne left the campus because she was annoyed at Edward for destroying the assignment her lecturer gave. She chose not to enter the campus because she didn't want to be scolded by the lecturer, who was notorious for being cruel to his students. After nearly thirty minutes of driving her car, Anne finally arrived at the London Eye tourist spot. She decided to ride the largest ferris wheel in the world, which had a height of 135 meters or 443 feet.
"How many people, Miss?" Asked the ticket window clerk.
"Just one," answered Anne shortly.
"Yes, Miss, the price is 17.95 pounds," said the ticket window clerk with a smile.
Without a word, Anne opened her bag and took out £ 50 and gave it to the clerk. Soon she had two tickets and change. Anne deliberately bought two tickets, as she wanted to ride the London Eye for two rounds. She wanted to be alone without being disturbed by anyone while seeing the sights of London, which had become her new home for the last two years.
After waiting for five minutes, Anne finally got onto the London Eye capsule which can accommodate 25 people. Fortunately Anne came to the London Eye when it was quiet. As a result, she became the only person in the capsule, because the other passengers were a young couple who wanted to be alone in the London Eye capsule. Even though they were alone together, the passengers couldn't act indecently because there were CCTV cameras installed in each capsule. The London Eye wheel rotated quite slowly, which was about 26 m/sec. With this speed, the London Eye took about 30 minutes for one round. At the highest peak, the passengers of the largest ferris wheel in England could see the view of London as far as 40 km. With the ability to see at such a distance, passengers could see other tourist attractions such as the Big Ben, the Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament, and St. Paul's Cathedral. It was for this reason that Anne chose to calm herself in the London Eye capsule.

Sitting alone in the capsule, she felt so much better and calmer. In the past, she would always cry if she was disappointed or hurt by someone. Now she preferred to be alone to calm her heart. Cheated on and betrayed by her friends had made her stronger in living her life. She was even grateful for the incident. Maybe if Leon and Steffi didn't cheat behind her two years ago, now she might still be a stupid girl who didn't know anything.
"To what extent are you going to test my limits, Lord?" said Anne softly with teary eyes staring at St. Paul's Cathedral, which was clearly visible from where she was.
"I feel degraded, betrayed, humiliated, and abandoned by loved ones, then what else do you want to see from me, God? I'm afraid that I won't be able to endure any longer from all that is happening. I have buried all my childhood dreams when I was disappointed the first time by my childhood friend. Then should I return to bury my simple ideals, God? I just want to live a calm and happy life, nothing more. That's all I want God, can't you grant my simple wish?"
Anne's tears slowly dripped after she had not cried for a long time. The last time she cried was because Jack had insulted her status as a widow. But after looking at the civil registry in Germany, she was still single. Anne now had the courage again to face that quiet barista, Jack.
"Anne ... wake up!! Why do you remember that cold man? Forget him. You've moved to London, you have to start with a new spirit in this new city. So don't remind yourself of those people anymore," said Anne to herself, patted her cheek hard.

The sound of her cell phone in the bag awakened Anne from her reverie, which had reminded her of Jack. Anne quickly grabbed her cell phone and smiled when she saw the name that appeared on her cell phone screen.
"Hello, this is Anne," said Anne quietly when she was connected to the caller on the other end of the phone.
"Hello, Miss Anne, you still remember me, don't you?" said the caller on the other end of the line.
"Of course, Mr. August, how could I forget. Can I help you, sir?" Asked Anne kindly.
"I contacted you because I wanted to ask you, are you still interested in the little shop you once asked about, Miss?" asked Mr. August, the owner of a flower shop not far from Anne's apartment.
"Of course, sir, I really like your little shop," said Anne quickly, with a broad smile.
"Thank God, can we meet, Miss? I've been wanting to sell the shop, at first I wanted to sell it to someone else. But then I remember you, who had asked first a few months ago. Therefore, I called you, Miss," said. Mr. August straight to the point.
"Okay, sir, wait for me. I'll come by the shop. I'll be there in thirty minutes. Please don't sell the shop to other people, sir, I'll be there," said Anne excitedly.
Hearing Anne's words made Mr. August laughed out loud. Anne finally hung up the phone shortly after making an appointment with Mr. August. Luckily, the one round of the London Eye finally stopped. Anne quickly got out of the capsule that she actually had rented for an hour. She immediately ran towards the parking area with a smile on her beautiful face. Her long brunette hair fluttered as she ran.
"Hey, what are you looking at?" A beautiful woman asked the man next to her.
"It's nothing. I thought I saw someone I know just now. But I forgot where and who that person is," replied the handsome man with a smile.
"Never mind, let's not talk about it. That's because you work too much, Sean. Let's go up to the London Eye, I'm looking forward to it," said the beautiful woman.
The man, who was called Sean, just smiled. They both finally went into the next London Eye capsule. From inside the capsule, the man could still see Anne's car leaving the London Eye tourist area.
"Who are you?" said the man called Sean to himself.
To be continued.
