Song Dei Si picked up her phone at the bed side table when it rang. "h.e.l.lo, Dad!"
"Dei Si, how"s Master Yan?" Song Mingsheng asked from the other line.
"He is being nursed by Mom." Song Dei Si answered.
"Good! How about you? You, okay?"
"Uhm."
Song Mingsheng made a pregnant pause.
"Dad?" Song Dei Si asked when she heard nothing from the other line.
"Stop worrying too much, child! Don"t think that you"re the reason why Master Yan called off the agreement. Like what he said, they made the decision to support their son"s happiness."
"Yes, Dad! It just that, I felt sorry for Daddy Jao!"
"Uhm" said Song Mingsheng then he remember something. "Dei Si, I remember to you need to come back to your OB-Gyne after four months. Have you already paid her a visit?"
Song Dei Si was startled by her father"s question. She looked at Yan Mor Tee beside her who was busy watching the doc.u.mentary.
"Uhm" she answered in a low voice.
"How was it?"
"There are some progress." She answered.
"Good! So you better..."
"Dad, I need to hang up the phone now to prepare for our lunch" She cut off what her father was about to say next. "I"ll talk to you again soon!"
Song Mingsheng was smart enough to know that his daughter doesn"t want to talk about it anymore. So he said goodbye to her. "Okay, I love you, child!"
"I love you, too Dad! Take care of your self! Bye!"
"Dad, called?" Yan Mor Tee asked Song Dei Si after she finished the phone conversation with her dad.
"Uhm. He was worried about Dad!"
Yan Mor Tee smiled. "What are you going to prepare for lunch?"
"Your favorite."
"Pork stew?!" Yan Mor Tee"s pupil has dilated in too much excitement.
Song Dei Si smiled. "Uhm"
"You"re the best, sweetheart!" Yan Mor Tee gave her a peck.
Song Dei Si hissed "You"re so easy to please! It just a pork stew and yet, I am already the best for you!"
"Because I love everything you do, sweetheart!"
Song Dei Si smiled and got off from the bed and strode off towards the door.
.....
Song Mingsheng looked at his wife old photograph display in the living room. The photo was taken a year before his wife left him and their 9 years old daughter in this world. It has been 17 years and yet he always missed her everyday. Now that Song Dei Si was no longer living with him, he never had someone to talk to but his wife"s old photo.
"It sad living alone here. How I wish that your daughter give us a grandchild soon so I could have someone to play here with. She went to her OB-Gyne and she said that there are some progress. Do you think, we"re going to have a little munchkins soon?" Song Mingsheng talked to his wife and the excitement on his voice was evident. "I"m happy with the progress and I know you too!"
.....
Lu Jiaosheng took a weekend flight to Hong Kong and went back to the bar where he first met the girl he slept with, trying his luck to see her again. But it was almost closing time and the girl didn"t show up yet.
He helplessly asked the bartender. "Bro, are you quite familiar with all your guest here?"
"For regular customer, yes! But for occasionally guest, nope!"
"I see. I just wondering if you encounter a girl coming here who was about 18 years old or something. She was about 165 cm tall with a fair skin. She has a soulful eyes and..."
"Bro...do you have a picture of her? If you will just describe her to me I will not be able to remember her."
Lu Jiaosheng sighed because the bartender was right. "Unfortunately I don"t have one."
"Then sorry bro I cannot help you."
"Understood!" He regrets not taking a photo with the girl. Well it because it was never been in his system to take a photo with anyone he slept with because he knew that he won"t meet them again. Who would have thought that it won"t be the case for this young girl? He regrets not asking for her name before he gone to sleep hoping that the young girl will never leave him the next day! But just like the other woman whom he had a one night stand with, the girl leave him without any trace.
He wonder what was she doing right now? Did she think about him too? Just like how he thinks about her everyday?
She was a virgin when he bed her. He was sure that she wasn"t those kind of girls who did it just for fun. Because why would a young virgin will lose her first time to a total stranger? She was not even drunk that night!
Lu Jiaosheng ma.s.sage his temple. Will he ever meet her again?
....
Tan Ja Nin and and Lee Chin Mei were both shocked when they see each other again. Tan Ja Nin opened the door when she heard the doorbell was ringing while Lee Jin Ho was in the shower room and didn"t expect to see Lee Chin Mei early in the morning. She was still wearing her pajama and she cannot deny the fact that she slept in Lee Jin Ho"s pad.
"What are you doing here?" Both of them asked at the same time.
"It"s my brother"s pad and I came to visit him. And you..." Lee Chin Mei looked at her from head to toe.
"Did you sleep here?" She bluntly asked.
Tan Ja Nin did not answer her. Why would she answer the fact that was obvious. "Come on in!" She said instead.
Lee Chin Mei came inside and sat at the couch. "Where"s my brother?"
"He is taking a shower!" She said and could not look Lee Chin Mei directly in the eyes.
"Don"t be shy. I know that your my brother"s girlfriend and it is normal that every once in a while you"ll be sleeping in your boyfriend"s pad"
Tan Ja Nin was stunned with her straighforwardness.
"You should not be doing this when the time comes that you already have a boyfriend. This is not a good example" Tan Ja Nin said, eventhough that Lee Chin Mei was broadminded, she never wanted to set a bad example for her.
Lee Chin Mei face suddenly turned pale but she was curious to know why Tan Ja Nin did it.
"But why did you do it? You know, sleeping here at my brother"s place before marriage?"
Tan Ja Nin was astounded. How should she answer her?
"Well...it you know...when you"re at it.. you cannot.."
Lee Chin Mei let out a soft laugh. "You must love my brother so much for you to agree on this set up"
Love?
Has she already fallen in love with Lee Jin Ho?
She couldn"t be.
She was attracted with him physically, so maybe it was the main reason why she agreed.
"So when did you plan to get married?" Lee Chin Mei asked.
Married?
Tan Ja Nin made a fake cough. "What?! Get married?"
"Yes, you"re at the right age to get married now. Both of you are 27 already?" Lee Chin Mei asked.
"I"m just 26... but will be turning 27 in a few months."
"See, most of my friend"s sisters got married when they were 24 or 25 years old so what are you waiting for?"
"It"s not our priority right now." Tan Ja Nin honestly told her.
"Priority? You mean my brother is not your top priority?"
Tan Ja Nin could not answer her. Because it was the truth. Lee Jin Ho wasn"t her priority right now.
"..."
"Lee Chin Mei, getting married is not that easy. You need to get ready first before jumping into it!"
"I thought for as long as long you both love each other, you can get married anytime."
"You"re still young and your vision of love was just solely based on having a puppy love."
Puppy love?
Lee Chin Mei was stunned.
"How would you know if it just a puppy love?" Lee Chin Mei asked.
"Puppy love is a just a spur of the moment and can be forgotten in a moment of hours, days or months."
"What if it take years and you still haven"t forgotten that person, does it mean that what you felt for him is more than just a puppy love?"
Tan Ja Nin could not answer Lee Chin Mei.
"How about the feelings you have for Yan Mor Tee? Is it just a puppy love?" Lee Chin Mei made a follow up question.
Tan Ja Nin was astounded. When she looked at Lee Chin Mei she was waiting for her answer.
"Yan Mor Tee was my first love." She said in a low voice.
"How long does it takes before you have forgotten him?"
Tan Ja Nin could not answer right away.
Was she really has gotten over him?
