She ran down the bed and unwittingly tripped over the car, resulting her in the collision of her head with the hard cemented ground. She felt a growing pain in her head, it seems to have penetrated into her neuron, invading every single unit of her brain cell. Her memory jerked again…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gallen stood on a chair to reach for the cupboard. When he opened it, a row of dusty, thick files fell right onto him and he fell from the chair, dusty and injured from the “collision”. Moses rushed into her room at the sight of this while Flora giggled with satisfaction.
“Flora! You’re too much!” Moses chided as he helps him up. “You…”
“Forget it, I don’t think Flora meant it…” He tried to console himself as well as Moses.
Flora pouted and rebuked. “I did it on purpose, so what? You should wash your eyes with all those dust, lecher!”
“Me? Lecher? Is there a misunderstanding anywhere?” Gallen was taken aback, wiping off the dust that got into his eyes.
“There is no misunderstanding here. I saw with my own eyes how you tried to molest Jessica yesterday!” Flora rebuked.
“What? I molest Jessica?”
“Don’t try to deny it, you purposely placed something on the ground so she could trip over it and fall on you!” She continues, “And look at the way you’ve been eyeing me since I reported work last week!”
“I…” His face reddened, while raising his right hand. “I swear I didn’t make Jessica fall on me intentionally, it was an accident… I really…”
“I don’t care if you fire me! I don’t really care working for such a boss!” She gave him another stare before leaving the room.

“Flora…” Gallen broke the silence with his words, taking out a small box from his right pocket.
She opens her eyes and turns to look at him. Opening the box, he flashed a sparkling diamond ring before her, with arms still around her. “Will you marry me? I promise I’ll take care of you, forever.”
“What kind of a proposal is this? No flowers, and lacks sincerity…” She grinned.
“If you like flowers I could get you a shop of them later. Meanwhile, agree me first!” He said gently, and takes out the ring. “Isn’t this ‘sincerity’ good enough?”
“Who wants to marry you? Shameless guy!” She teased, biting her lips smilingly.
He slides the ring skillfully into her fourth finger, “Now you’ve accepted it, you can’t go back on your words!”
“No, that’s not counted!”
She tried to pull out the ring, but he had caught her hands and secured them in his.
“You’re being cunning here!” She tried to struggle out of it but he turned her around and secured her lips with his. Silence regained.

Looking exquisitely charming in his wedding suit, Gallen gazes smilingly into Flora’s eyes. The rest of the guests emerged from inside the Registry Of Marriage and join them in the photo-taking. Gallen excuses himself and pulls Flora to a corner.
“What’s the matter? They are still waiting for us.” She looks a bit shocked into his eyes.
“I have something for you!” He passes another broad grin before extending his right hand and opens up his palm, displaying a leather-made wristlet before her eyes.
“What’s this for?” She receives the wristlet and took a closer look of it.
“Turn over the wristlet.”
She smiles and turned it over. The words “Gallen love Flora forever” were printed on it in a calligraphy form.
“Silly guy!” She whispered while smilingly sweetly at the same time.
“See,” He rolls up his left sleeve a bit. “I have one too, this is in a pair, as long as they are together, we will be together.”
“Crazy ideas of yours again!”
“Let me put it on for you.” He took the wristlet and puts it on her right wrist.
“Hey, this doesn’t go well with what we are wearing today, it’ll be sort of awkward if people sees this!” She pouts a little but while allowing him to put on the wristlet.
“Who cares? They will only know how much I love you then!” He closes the clip of the wristlet. “Done!”
“Thank you.” She smiles sweetly again.
“Ah! I almost forgot, there is one more conjugal knot that comes with the wristlets.” He searches his pockets and flashes the reddish, ancient looking knot in front of her.
“What is that for?”
“This will bless us with eternal conjugal bliss! Give me your hand.” He grabs her hands and covered the knot with their hands. “Let us absorb the essence and blessing of the knot!” He closes his eyes and grimaces to take in a puff of fresh air.
She chuckles amusingly at his silliness. “Ok, enough of your silly ideas, they are still waiting for us!”
“Let them wait a bit longer, I still haven’t got my gift.”
“What gift?”
“I have the wristlet for you, so what do you have for me?” He winks naughtily at her.
“But I have not prepared anything for you!” She looks innocently at him, resembling that of a cute rabbit.
“How heartless are you to forget me!” He pouts dramatically again.
“I forgot a gift, not forgot you!” She corrected stubbornly.
“Ok, forget it. I’ll make do with something else.” He leans himself closer and quivers his lips comically.
She chortles and rolls her eyes before standing on her toes to give him a kiss on the lips. He extends his arms around her and cuddles her into his embracing, deepening the kiss, releasing her seconds after that.
“Flora, I feel I am the most fortunate man in the world wide world to have you as my wife. I will cherish our love and dote on you forever. Will you do the same?”
“Of course.” She whispers a ticklish puff of air into his ears.

Feeling feverish and emaciated, she was just a second away from passing out. Before her eyes was shut, she witnesses the light eluding from the creaky opening of the door, two shadows were seen faintly before she shuts her eyes completely. One of them rushed up to her and held onto her in time just before she falls onto the ground again. The other stayed rooted to his position.
“Flora! Flora, how are you feeling?” The voice cries out in anxiety as she feels a drop of tear dropping hard onto her face.
She recognizes the voice, and finally display a glint of hope on her face, but it passes away with her slip into unconsciousness…

Maggie, Ada and Louis waited in the police station for Moses and Jessica.
“Maggie, I saw Bowie just now, do you have any idea where he might be heading?” Ada turned to his left and asked.
“I just came back from buying some things. I only saw you and not Bowie. But…” Maggie was rather unsure.
“How come you didn’t see Gallen? He was with him!” Louis exclaimed.
“I was just about to ask about that! I didn’t see Gallen at all!” Ada was worried.
Just then, Moses and Jessica walked out of the interrogation room, accompanied by their lawyer.
One of the officers spoke up. “Mr. Chan, Miss Hsuan, I hope you can inform the police once you have any news of Gallen Lo, thank you.”
“Sure.” The both of them replied in unison, forcing a smile each on their faces, and exits the area while joining Ada and the rest.
“Moses,” Ada rushes up to him hastily. “Gallen is missing!”
“What?” Jessica tugs Ada’s sleeves carelessly. “How did this happen?”
“Calm down first!” Louis pauses and continued again. “Just now Gallen went to look for Bowie, and they went away together.”
“Did Bowie drag him away or what?” Moses probed.
“Nope, he went with him willingly.” Louis replied.
“But the problem is, I don’t see him in Bowie’s car when he was driving past me.” Ada added.
“You saw him? Where was he heading?” Jessica asked again.
“No idea, but towards the south… perhaps it’s Hong Kong island?” Ada guessed.
“Hong Kong island?” Maggie seems bewildered.
“Ah! I remembered he has an apartment at Stanley! Could he be there?” Louis suddenly pointed out.
“Probable! But how do you explain Gallen’s disappearance?” Jessica asked for the third time.
“Maybe Bowie hid him in the boot on pressed him down at the back seat.” Moses commented.
“Ok, say no more, let’s go and try out luck!” Maggie said hastily and the rest followed her immediately.
Louis extended a hand to grab Jessica’s hand. “Jess, I need to talk to you.”
She pauses and signals the rest to go ahead first. “I have something to tell you to.”
They pauses for another ten seconds before speaking, in unison. “I’m sorry.” Then they chuckles.
“Why are you saying sorry?” She asked first.
“I was rude to Gallen that day and I shouldn’t have rub salt into his wound.” Louis said apologetically.
“I was in the wrong too, I never forgot him and was unfair to you.” She looks guiltily into his eyes. “But now I have. Sorry, Louis.”
“I won’t bear to blame you.” He pulls her deftly into his embrace and hugs her tightly.
“But now we need to find Gallen as soon as possible.” She releases herself and spoke again, then supplemented. “Eh… I mean, he is our friend, and…”
“I understand, silly! If two persons are really destined to be together, nothing can ever pull them apart.” Louis smiles charmingly.
“Are you referring to us?”
“Well, what do you think?” He smiles again. “Ok, let’s get going.”
They make their way swiftly to the car park to join the rest in the frantic search…
