Random Encounters

**Chapter 1: Random Encounters**

In the big city, where neon lights are bright and car horns never stop blaring, young people's lives move at a dizzying pace. Jordon, a 28-year-old man, is one of them. He works for a tech startup, where pressure and competition are always present. Every day, he is immersed in numbers, reports and deadlines, forgetting the simple things in life.

One evening, after a long day of work, Jordon decided to stop by a small cafe on the side of the road to relax. The cozy atmosphere and fragrant smell of coffee made him feel more comfortable. While waiting for his cup of coffee, he accidentally heard a conversation between two girls at the next table. They were talking about a new dating app, where people can find love in this busy world.

"Do you think love really exists in this day and age?" one girl asked.

"Yes! But it's harder to find. People are just focused on work and money," the other girl replied.

Jordon felt a pang of sarcasm in his heart. He had also tried many dating apps, but all ended in disappointment. He wondered if anyone really understood the feeling of loneliness in this bustling life.

When the cup of coffee was brought, Jordon suddenly noticed a beautiful girl sitting at the opposite table. She was reading a book, the yellow light shining on her delicate face, making him unable to take his eyes off. The girl seemed to not belong to the noisy world outside, but like a quiet picture in the flow of modern life.

Unable to resist his curiosity, Jordon decided to approach her. He walked over and asked softly: "What book are you reading?"

The girl looked up, her eyes shining. "This is a novel about love in the age of technology. Do you want to hear about it?"

Her question made Jordon feel like they had some kind of connection. They began to talk, sharing their thoughts about life, love, and the pressures that everyone faces in the modern world. Time passed quickly, and Jordon realized that he had forgotten all his worries, only feeling warm and close to the strange girl.

That chance encounter opened a new chapter in Jordon's life. He didn't know that, from this moment, his life would change forever.
