She was in a blue and purplish flower printed fabric half cheongsam and a three quarter pants. She looked so lovely with her two black French braid on her heart shaped face.

"Fong, are you done with your cooking?" Asked a middle age women with a warm smile.

"Almost done." She said and she continue her cooking.

Fong was an orphan. she never know who's her parents, she grew up in the orphanage until the age of 14, she was adopted by a middle age women to be her servant. This middle aged women wasnt a rich nor wealthy women. However she owns a level of the town house in Hong Kong. All she does was to rent out the rooms to families and collect rental. She has a walking problem and this was why she adopted Fong to be her servant. After the adoption, Fong wasnt only looking after her but also has to cook for the people.

"Mrs. Heng, I am done with the cooking." She said while she was walking out from the kitchen. and she saw the chaos. people were running and yelling. she didnt know what to do but stunned.

"Run! it's the French... Run!" the crowd were yelling.

Two women grabbed Fong's hand and ran. They ran toward upstairs and hided at the balcony.

"You silly girl. why arent you running?" One of the women asked

"I didnt know..."

"Shii.." The women said before Fong could answer the question.

They saw a man took off his long coat and sat down on the sofa. she knows him, Fong thought. He was the lawyer that stay upstairs, everyone was talking about. is him, she heard of him all the time but she didnt know how he looks like. He saw them beside the huge plant, he slowly walked over and the women pushed Fong out.

He did not say a word but staring at her in a way that she can certainly feel the heat of his sight. She was afaird. he was so good looking that she wouldnt want to spoilt the impression. His huge eyes, straight nose and his thin and sexy lips. However, she was so dirty, she hair was in a mess. she was so nervous.

He looked at her as if he couldnt believe there is someone as lovely her. even though she was in a mess and he can see her beautiful eyes, the most fascinated thing was, her has a pair dark blue eyes. It was dark blue almost black.

"How much?" He looked at the two women and asked.

"20 gold." They said.

He say nothing but walked into his room and gave them 20 gold as they said and he said to them "Go away, never let me see you again."

She didnt know what was going on she wanted to run with them but he stopped her.

"Where are you going?" He asked sharply

"Hu..h?" She answered nervously.

"Didnt you know that you are sold?" He asked

"I am... sold?" She looked at him as if she is a child. she was so innocent that he couldnt help staring at her.

"Come here." He said almost as an order to her.

__________________________

It has been 4 years staying with him, she thought. yet, she was just a toy to him. she wasnt allow to ask about his job. she will never know who was him. he will disappear a few days and came back with hurt all over his body.

she was taking over the long coat he passed to her and he said:

"Fong, i am getting married soon."

"Ma..rri.ed?" she asked nervously

"Yes, with her." He said

"Her?" she was so puzzled

"Her husband passed away. i think I should married her." He said

she say nothing but staring at him with tears on her cheeks. he walked over and hugged her.

"You can still stay here. it will be better if i married her. you will have a better life. she is rich." He said

"But I am going to be alone.." She said in a break in her voice

"Fong, be sensible. You know what do i mean." He said "I am going to propose to her now." He added and walked out.

"If you were to go, i have to leave." She said softly that he could hardly hear her.

"No. stay here. I will come back. this is our home." he said

"Please. i had enough of this." She said and kneel down "If money is all you want, i can do nothing but leave."

"Do as you wish then." he walked out and he stopped at the balcony where he found her.

He didnt know how long did he stood there and he saw her with her luggage staring at him. he walked to her and hugged her and in a gentle way.

"Darling, I love you. why cant you just stay here?" He asked

she cried again. she didnt know what to say to him.

"Go to where you always want. dont stop because of me. you have been planing this for years. I will live happily." She said and walked away.

He stoned. he was lost. he didnt know what to do. what can he do? he cant give up because of her. he had been planing this before he met her.

She was walking heavily on the street. she didnt know where to go. she was walking not even a penny with her.

"Ouch!" She knocked down a young men.

"Sorry, I didnt meant to knock you down." She said

"Is ok. Where are you heading to?" He asked

"...."

"Ah.. i see. can you wait for a moment?" He said friendly and pointed at the chair "sit there, when i finish filming i will come to you. please wait."

She waited for 2 hours and she learned that he was the assistance film director. he was so different with 'him' she thought. he was young almost her age she thought. he is not as good looking as 'him' but he is cheerful and more alive.

"Sorry for keep you waiting." He said in a smile.

She stood at the place she will never forget. it has been 12 years. this wasnt the townhouse she used to stay anymore. but it's an office building. people are walking around busily. She laughed at herself and thought, this is Hong Kong, of course everyone will be busily walking around. when she was in Los Angeles with her husband, people even joke that even lifts move faster in Hong Kong. Hong Kong is always one of the busiest city on Earth. She wonder what was 'him' doing. is he still around here?

She laughed at herself for being childish. he might not remember her anymore. he is a rich men now. she turn around and she knocked on a cheast of a men she used to love. she was stunned by the fact that it was him. the person she always wanted to meet again. when her eyes found his, she know. the feeling is still there. nor matter how long, they are still in love.

ps: it was another dream of mine. few days ago.

I Love You

I cant find the picture I want! damn

the setting is at the 1920's until 1930's of Shanghai, China.

____________________

She saw in in his elegant striped midnight long coat with his lean and tall body was so outstanding in the crowd which she will never missed him nor matter how packed and how many of people around him. He has changed from the man she loved to a totally different man in sense of the social status but she knows that they are still in love when their eyes matched each others in the crowd. She still remember the day she met him and they fall in love with each other.


Her father was one of the richest man in Shanghai. She was always locked in the beautiful white and western influenced mansion. One day she was looking out the window and she saw her parents was fetched away by a black car. She thought that this will be a good opportunity for her to go out of the mansion and look at the outside world. She sneaked out the mansion with one of her servants clothes on her.


She was so fascinated about the things out there, the food stalls, the accessorises stalls, the shoes stalls, the cosmetic stall and so many. she was wondering around and accidentally knocked down a young man's wagon. The floor was full of the sugar cane from the wagon and she quickly helped the young man to picked them up.

"i am sorry I didn't mean to knocked down your wa...gon" She could hardly breath when she saw him. he is so charming and good looking. He has a pair of eyes with a huge pupils which made him looks very charming , his straight nose and thin lips made him looks very sexy. he was in a dirty thin white t-shirt and a light brown pants.

he smile at her and said "is alright."

"Oh no.. I am so sorry." She blushed and said shyly "Is there anything I can help?"

"NEH.. is just a small matter. do not worry about it." he left one white towel on his shoulder and pushed his wagon away.

however, she was so nervous and she doesn't know what to do. She followed him all the way to another street until he stopped and turned to her.

"Miss, you needn't to feel bad. people always knock me down." he looked at her and said again " you better have go home before your employer start to look for you."

She suddenly noticed that she was in her servants clothes and she said "well, maybe you should let me help you on the selling, so that i can feel better."

By the afternoon, they manage to sell all the sugar cane.

"It is a new experience for me." she said happily to him.

"Well, i certainly hope that you enjoy it although it is not a comfortable one." he replied and he smiled.

"Is not as bad as you thought." she said while she is looking up the sky.

"Which mansion you are working for?" He asked and looked at the same direction she is looking.

"Cheng's." She said the name of the mansion she was staying.

"That's a huge one. Shouldn't you be going back?" he asked

"Oh no. I want to look around." She said and she quickly added "I am new here."

"In this case. As a citizen of Shanghai, i should bring you around." He said

"Yes, you certainly should" She said with a sweet smile on her face.

He looked at her and notice how lovely was she. She has a small oval shaped face, and a pair sparkling huge eyes. She was so lovely that he couldn't take his eyes out of her.

She noticed that he was staring at her in a fire hot sight which she never feel before and she looked at him and their eyes met. They know they were in love. Is love that made them see each other so differently as if the whole world only left both of them.

After that day, every time after her parents went out, she will sneak out to the street and spend time with him. buyers often ask them when will them be married and every time she will blushed and once he told her

"please do wait for me. One more month i will earn enough money to pay your employer to take you out."

Every time he said that she will smile at him. She does not dare to tell him that she is not the servant but the daughter of the Cheng's mansion. She knows that he will be very angry that he was fool and he might not want to see her again.

"Next week, you will get married in Macau with the son of the inspector." her father said happily
"Oh no.. father no..." She rejected the idea of her father

"Sweet heart, you are 18 now. Is the right time for you to get married." her mother replied

"No. please..." She begged

"Why not? The son of the inspector is a very handsome and hardworking young man." Her father said positively

"But father, I am in love..." She said with the tears on her face.

Her father was so angry and slapped her.

"Love? Who allowed you to go out of the mansion without anyone? " He hold her wrist hardly and asked but she did not answer a word.


She was locked in her room for a week until her wedding day. She was in a beautiful white chiffon dress. the pear necklace matches her perfectly but she wasn't happy at all. She feel like dying. She doesn't want to married anyone accept for him.

She walked out the mansion and she saw him passed by she cried out loud:

"Save me... save me!! Take me away."

He ran to her but he was blocked by two her male servants. She couldn't tell how unhappy she was and screaming all away until the car drove out of the city.

________________________________________

It has been 7 years. everything had changed. She returned to Shanghai after the dead of her husband. She was so relieved that her husband passed away. It was something she shouldn't have felt but she just couldn't help it. She wonder how was he. She heard so many news about him after she left. He is not the wagon man anymore. he changed. he is now one of the most important business man in the night clubs business industry. she didn't know how he manage to be so successful, the only thing she was aware is that he is still single. Now, she finally met in him the crown when everyone was running away from the Japanese Army. It's a mess, but they found each other.

She was so delight and run to him, because people were running in a different direction of hers, she find it difficult to reach him but she was doing her very best to reach him. She reached him and hugged him with tears of joy. She cant tell how happy is she to found him in this messy and dangerous situation.

When she was about to talk to him she felt an impact on his back and she felt that her hands are wet and the next thing, she saw blood. he was shot. she couldn't believe it.

"Dearest, leave me here and run. the Japanese are coming. run" he pushed her away.

"No... no..." She kneel down with him on her arms.

"I miss you so badly when you left." He touched her face with his hand slowly as if he was using his last strength and said "i love you."

he is dead. she was so depress and crying there while everyone were running. The Japanese aircraft started to release the bombs, people were running even faster but she was there. alone kneeling there until the bomb found her.
