Thank You for the Meal (Rina Utowo) Manhua

Rina Utowo sat alone at the small cafe, her heart heavy with the weight of a recent breakup. Her hands trembled as she clutched the menu, the words blurring together in a haze of tears. How could he have left her so easily, without a second thought? The pain was a raw, gaping wound, tearing at her insides. The waiter approached, his voice barely registering in Rina's ears. With a forced smile, she ordered a cup of black coffee, her usual comfort in times of distress. As she waited, memories of happier times with her ex-boyfriend played over and over in her mind, each one a dagger to her wounded heart. When the coffee finally arrived, Rina took a sip, the bitter taste matching the bitterness in her soul. She fought back tears, refusing to let him see her weakness. With a deep breath, she made a decision - she needed to reach out for support. Dialing a number she hadn't called in years, Rina's voice wavered as she asked her high school best friend, Claire, to meet her. The relief flooded through her as Claire agreed without hesitation, offering her unwavering support in her time of need. As she sat in the cafe, waiting for Claire to arrive, a spark of hope flickered within Rina. Maybe this breakup was a turning point, a chance for her to rediscover her own strength and worth. With the love and support of her friends, she began to see a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel. And as she whispered a silent thank you to her ex-boyfriend for unknowingly leading her back to the people who truly cared, Rina felt a sense of gratitude for the opportunity to rebuild and rise stronger from the ashes of her shattered heart.
