Ron was singing a song that could bring out his feelings now on his way home - Wu Ding(Rooftop), praying hard that one day he and Tavia would be able to sing this as a duet, since it was a love song.
Ban ye shui bu zhao jiao, ba xin qing heng cheng ge, zhi hao dao wu ding zhao ling yi ge meng jing
[I went to the rooftop, humming my feelings into a song, hoping to find something in store for me]
Shui meng zhong bei chao xing, wo hai shi bu que ding, zen hui you dong ren xuan lv zai dui mian de wu ding, wo qiao qiao guan shang men, dai zhe xi wang shang qu, yuan lai shi wo meng li chang chu xian de na ge ren
[I was awakened by a lovely tune that came from the rooftop and went up to the rooftop full of hope and discovered it was my Dream guy]
na ge ren bu jiu shi wo meng li na mo hu de ren, wo men you tong yang de mo qi
[Isn't that my dream girl who have chemistry with me]
yong tian xian, yong tian xian, pai cheng ai ni de xing zhuang...
[I have a feeling, you're the one I love]
Ron jiggled his keys and his singing died down when he saw Leila still sitting on the sofa at this hour.
"Leila. I'm back. You should have slept first. Leila. Leila? Are you ok?" Ron patted Leila's shoulder when he decided that Leila was not answering him.
"Huh, what? Oh kor, when did you came back?" Leila jumped slightly.
"Just. Are you ok?" Ron placed his hands over Leila's shoulder, asking in a concerned tone.
"I don't know. I just feel..Well..It's a funny feeling. A feeling that I never had before till today." Leila looked straight in Ron's eyes. "I think..I think I'm falling for..Someone."
Ron dropped his jaws. "Woah, finally someone can stand your temper other than me huh? Hey, tell me, who's that unlucky guy? Tell me, do I know him?" Ron was getting a bit hyper-active on hearing his sister's first love, completely forgot that he himself was in love as well as Leila's condition.
Leila pouted, "Wa, what do you mean by saying that! Unlucky. Then you must be the unlucky one, for staying by my side for like 21 years?"
Ron was hitting himself inside.
"Okay, fine, I'm in the wrong. Don't be angry please. Princess, tell me who is that guy!! Please?" Ron gave her his killer-weapon, puppy eyes which makes him look so cute and idiotic, but this trick always works with Leila.
"Well, actually, you know him. But, I mean..Erm..Uh..-"
"Miss, at this rate that you are erm-ing and uh-ing, it's gonna be daylight soon."
"Well, actually, he, me, I..Uh..I've always treated him like a brother but he suddenly confessed his love to me today, but I really don't want to come between them. I really don't know what to do. I know my health. My disease, the operation..I.."
Ron raised his eyebrows, confused at what Leila was stuttering about. "What brother? Between them? I know him? For goodness sake, the only guys we know in common are that Lincoln and Ray..Wait! Between them, u mean between Raymond and Tavia? Raymond..He confessed his love for you today? And you think you are starting to like him when all along you treated him as your brother?"
Leila nodded her head, heaving a huge sigh.
Ron's POV: Is this what the game of life is being played? First, Raymond and Tavia are engaged, but they don't like each other. Ray likes Leila, and Leila's starting to like him. I like Tavia and most probably she likes me too. It's worse then a three-angled love triangle. This involves the fate of us 4, our backgrounds, status and Leila's disease are the greatest obstacles. Sigh!
"Erm, I guess we are both tired today. Uh, maybe we have a good sleep first and discuss about your operation tomorrow?"
"Whatever. Night." Leila got up the sofa lifelessly and shuffled to her room.
Under the same roof, in the same house, two different people were thinking of the things that might change their life forever. Both were too engrossed that none of them heard the phone rang....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tavia's POV: Hm, why isn't Ron picking up the phone? Maybe he's not home yet or too tired? Perhaps he's already in his dreamland. Guess I gotta tell him the news tomorrow. Night, Ron.
Tavia fell flat onto her bed, looking at the ceiling and smiled sweetly when she recalled what she and Ron did. She grabbed her favourite soft toy - Mashimaro. She told everything to her Mashimaro every night, be it sad incidents, happy occasions or angry incidents. It was lucky that her Mashimaro don't talk, or it will definitely have alot of secrets to share with other people.
"Hey Mashi! I think you have a love rival now. It's not Raymond, it's a guy I just known today, called Ron. He's really a considerate and sweet guy. Hm, don't look at me in this way, angry? Sadly, I gotta marry Raymond soon. SIGH!! Why can't two people who loves each other truely can't be together? I mean, Ron hasn't told me he love me, but his expression betrayed him. Haha. What about my wedding with Raymond? AAAHHH!! Someone save me!!
* The next day, at Ron's flat *
"Kor, I've thought it through the night. I..." Leila took a deep breath before continuing, "I've decided to undergo the operation."
"Are you sure? It's a 50-50 survivior rate and with Raymond..-"
"Listen to me. Precisely it's a 50-50 chance, I want to take a gamble. My days are numbered without undergoing the operation, and now, maybe, maybe if I undergo the operation, I will be fine."
"Leila! What has got into your mind? You don't like gambling, and now, you are gambling with your life. Shall we discuss again? It's just..Just too hasty. I don't want a hasty decision to make me lose you forever."
"Kor, I've always listened to you since young. Can you listen to me, just this once? Please? I promise you, I will try my best to win this game. I know you care for me, but I really want to control my life now. Please?" Leila pleaded Ron.
"I don't know. Maybe we should..-"
"I don't care! It's final and I'm going to tell Raymond about this right now!" Leila frowned.
"Leila.." Ron grabbed Leila's hand, only surprised to see her pulling her hand away. Leila stomped out of the house with Ron running behind her.
"Ron! Oh, hi Leila!" Tavia greeted when she saw the siblings running out of the building.
"Uh, hi Tavia." Leila mumbled.
"LEILA! YOU STOP WHERE YOU ARE NOW! Oh, morning Tavia."
"You two rushing for time? I thought I could bring you to see my dad now," Tavia informed Ron, thinking that she had waited in vain for Ron for the past one hour.
"Kor, then you had better go to the interview. I will go and tell Ray..-Dr Lam myself. Bye!" Leila hailed a cab and headed for the hospital.
"Leila! I didn't even agree to it!"
"Uh, sorry. I guess I came at the wrong time?" Tavia apologized.
:No no, don't say that. Er, she just decided to undergo the liver transplant. What did you just say? Interview? Today? Now?"
Tavia nodded her head and noticed Ron frowning.
"Any problem? Need me to change the date?"
"Er, yes. Er, no. Well, yes. I..I don't have a decent suit. Cuz I don't have an office job so.."
"That's it? I thought what big problem there was. Come, we go buy the suit now!" Tavia laughed and dragged Ron behind her.
* At the boutique *
"Hm, how about this? Hm, no, it doesnt fit with the tie. Maybe this?" Tavia took a dozen suits and ties and looked at it, choosing carefully.
"Erm, I think anything will do. I might not even get the job and.." Ron whispered, glancing at the price tag.
"Nah, don't worry so much. Take this and this! Go try!!" Tavia picked a black suit and a dark blue tie and threw it to Ron. Before Ron knew what was happening, he was alone in the dressing room with the suit that Tavia had picked for him in his hands.
"Wa, your boyfriend's such a lucky guy. He has such a nice girlfriend picking and choosing suits for him." A male salesman joked.
Tavia just smiled and looked at her blushing face in the mirror while Ron heard everything in the dressing room.
"If only she's my girlfriend," Ron mumbled, making sure no one hears it.
"Ron, you ready? Is it okay?" Tavia hurried him.
"Yah, I'm here." Ron appeared in the mirror which Tavia was looking at. Tavia turned back and was stunned to see Ron being so handsome in his suit.
"You okay? Tavia?" Ron walked towards Tavia.
"Yea, of course. It fits you?"
"Ya.."
"Okay, excuse me! I want this! Thanks!" Tavia paid at the counter and grabbed Ron by his hand. "You're going to be late!! Hurry!"
* At the Yeung's Company *
"Good morning Miss Yeung!" Greetings were heard from four different directions at different times. Tavia had to repeat "Morning," again and again.
"I'll be waiting for you outside here okay? Just do your best! I believe in you! Go in!" Tavia gave Ron some encouragement.
"I will, for you," Ron whispered and headed for the CEO's office.
Tavia's sunshine smile vanished when Ron went into her father's room. She slumped down onto a sofa and gripped the side of the sofa, nervous for Ron.
* Tavia's flashback. Last night, at the Yeung Mansion *
"What? You want to introduce that whatever Ron whom you just met today to work in the office? How much do you know about him anyway? He might just be playing with you." Mr Yeung scolded his only daughter.
"Dad! I know he's not playing with me! He's the brother of one of Raymond's patient! He has the never-say-die attitude and being hardworking is his forte. Dad, although he doesn't have a high education, but I'm sure he can help the HR somehow. Dad?" Tavia shook her dad.
"So what if he is the brother of one of Raymond's patient? You just knew him today. You don't know much about him yet. Darling, don't be silly."
"WHAT! You're calling me silly? You mean you don't believe me? But I believe in him! He has the same aspirations with me. To live a peaceful life, that's all, whether we are rich or poor..-"
"Keep that for Raymond my dear! You will lead a peaceful life with Raymond 3 months later. I don't want this whatever Ron guy to..-"
"Dad! I told you before, I don't like Raymond! How can you and mum still force me? I don't care, I just want you to grant him an interview and give him the job if you think he's up to it!"
"You've fallen for that Ron guy right? You can't fool me. You are my daughter. I know what you are thinking. If you think you can..-"
"Know me? Understand me? If you really can understand me, you won't force me to marry Raymond. Both of us are the sacrifices for the sake of your and his parents' business in the commercial world. Cuz these two companies are the most influential companies in HK. One can help boost the other business and vice versa. For money, for fame, you are ready to sacrifice your daughter's happiness by marrying her off to someone she don't love!" Tavia yelled harshly.
"You, you!" Mr Yeung shook his finger at Tavia, his face red with anger.
The volcano had finally erupted in the family. Silence and tension hung in the air. Coldness froze the room as father and daughter glared at each other.
"Fine, you win. I will grant him an interview, but as to the job, I shall have to see his capabilities. But I don't want you to see him anymore." Mr Yeung sank down onto his chair.
