Did they get along so fast that Wei was laughing like no tomorrow, but his eyes caught someone, an eyesore disgust, to him. He came to despise the woman a lot after knowing how her behavior is. "I need to play along today, I'm very good at acting" putting his phone aside he started cleaning, humming a song. Dusting the chair randomly, the whole room was filled with dust, he even was coughing.
"Excuse me Wei, can I" came the same woman Britney, but what Wei was doing, stood like a statue looking at her from top to bottom, countless times.
"Ahhaaha, welcome miss, I was about to close, gladly you are lucky, yes." Looking at her. "have, have a seat" wiping again the chair.
"Thank you. But first I want to say sorry about yesterday" she looked at Wei they are looking at each other. Don't bring it up miss. He thought.
"Did something happen, yesterday. And please, if I know you, remind me" holding the broom, like he is ready to fight her with it
"You-you don't remember who I am? It's me Britney Miles, Mrs Kate daughter" pointing at herself. Keep trying miss.
"Madam Kate, yeah, that one I know her, aiya, she also has a tough task like you now. I have dementia, at this young age, so sad. I'm sorry miss for not remembering you. But don't worry I'll keep your name in my mind, Britney Miles." He kept chanting and chanting. "So, you wanted to say sorry about what." Looking at her, he could see something different, winning. Let's play more. "Miss, why...are you...quiet. did something bad happen yesterday?"
"Hey! Why are you crying?" She taken aback.
"Please tell me, what happened yesterday. Because people treat me whatever they feel like with my condition. They would give me little money from the actual one, they would mock me. I don't blame you miss, maybe it was my fault. So please tell me what happened yesterday, I-I need to know.." Wei covered his face to cry more but the smile didn't leave his face. "Please tell me"
"Listen here. I'm sorry about yesterday, and I promise you I will respect your work and won't treat you like something else, so-
"Tell me what happened!!" Shouted Wei
"I gave you fifty instead of twenty five, and because of that you became angry because you never like how customers add for you money. You respect your dignity and I will also. So I'm sorry" bowing.
"Miss, are also the type of a person! Do I look like a beggar to you? Wait...you praised me yesterday, I remember a little, you praised me a lot yesterday is it. Now tell, me, I look too much poor on those round eyes of yours, so beautiful. Are you my sugar mommy, no! You want to be one! Listen woman, not because of my condition that you customers treat me like you think. Thankfully I don't remember everything or my heart would be very sad. I did not chose to be like this" stream of tears left his eyes again. "Now leave, LEAVE!!" Again he strode her out like a street cat.
"I'm sorry again, hope you'll forgive me" bowing again she left.
"Look at her legs, thin like nails" peeping she was very far enough for him to jerk out into a laughter full of mockery.........
A very quiet and an isolated place, two souls and seated, silently looking at nowhere but just starring, the other ones head is put on the younger's lap.
"Are you fine now? You have been quiet, stop scaring me" Cheng spoke.
"You don't have to worry because this silence with you beside me is enough, I won't ask much if you will be beside me. I'm so lucky to have you apart from my mother and Yun Bin. You are the most important from my family. I wish to have you beside me the rest of my life. It's just that nosy director, he knows I don't like fan club meeting but he always Insists, they have bad questions, they like to destroy someone's day and I don't like them. He never listens always wants me to follow whatever he says. Yeah, he is the boss but should he be a little professional? He really disgusts me" a lone tear landed on cheng's thigh.
"Don't cry"
"It pains Cheng? He has always wanted to know about my life which I never wanted to tell anyone especially the fans about my life. Take an example I know more about you because you are open and very talkative, but never once did you utter about you, wanting to know about me, how grateful I was. Shouldn't they also stop poking their noses in someone's life, what's so special knowing about something, I regret being an actor, I regret" and there he started sobbing. "Look at this" he sat upright and opened three buttons of his shirt, a big ugly scar revealed itself.
"Kuan..."
"Then take a look at this" taking out a small passport size photo from his wallet. All Cheng could do was cover his mouth, as tears started streaming
"Wh-o is th-is" stuttered him.
"That is me" sobbing.
"But..how come, this and now"
"Because this isn't my true face. It's a plastic surgery" facing Cheng so he could see his reaction.
"What happened" tracing the picture with his fingers.
"I won't forget that day. It was late at night, and that day I wasn't sleeping, was in my room studying. I always study before sleeping, so it was lucky I guess but not lucky. Heard some screams, they were faint but suddenly I saw smoke through my window, my mind played something that I didn't want to believe, so I stepped out of the bed and went out but, what I met with was fire, it had already eat out our house to the point of reaching the rooms upstairs. My family was what my mind reminded me, but I didn't know how to pass that huge fire, I could hear my brother, yibo, shouting my name and crying but didn't know how would I cross that fire. I went back to my room that was covered with smoke, took three blankets, soaked them in water then covered myself.
My brother's room was right beside mine, but I didn't know that day I'll find it eternity to reach. When I banged the door down, I was eleven that time. Entering I found my brother, curled at the corned the bed is on fire, everything, so I piggy backed him, told him to cover his mouth and nose then close his eyes. I remember his cries, he was seven that time. I did the most stupid thing in my life. I jumped from the first floor outside the window, they were a lot of well trimmed grasses but still it was painful, my bones where shouting for treatment, neither I cared. Laying yibo down, he caught my hand before I could leave, he only shook his head for me not to leave him but I had to, our parents were still in there. So with a last glance, his face was already burnt on one side which I didn't not how far it was. Then I left, behind me I heard only Brother for the last time, before I went into that pit of fire." Right now kuan is a sobbing mess, Cheng not to be left."
"Don't say it more, it hurts Kuan. Don't speak, please....
"You know! I didn't care whether there was fire or not, but all I wanted was to save my parents, I didn't want to collect their ashes, I didn't. And when I entered the r-oom....they were sleeping peacefully, very pea-ce like. Hugging each other. I remember my mother was spooned securely by my father, their backs were caught with fire. I tried waking them up, to vain. So, I went over the half already burning ward robe and took a very big duvet and put their bodies in it, rolling them together, I started dragging them and right after opening the door a gash of fire caught me off guard, I let out a loud scream, because it was so painful Cheng....it really stinged....my face.... towards my chest... but...all I wanted was to get out of there, even if it was to die, I didn't want me and my parents bodies to turn out into ashes, so I went back inside the room towards the window, holding the two heavy bodies, I jumped out of the window. My whole body ached, my face and chest stinged. With the enough power I had I wanted to reach yibo at the front yard with our parents but gave up, my body...gave up and fell down, and the last hope with me, I hugged my already dead parents, and only prayed for my brother to be alive, any Angel to pass and report for firefighters, to save him because I didn't know I would survive from this tragedy......
"Kuan er" Cheng hugged him, what a painful life he had, what a disaster was that, he has suffered and yet people know nothing, Nothing they have an idea with..
