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.
