(At Jerry’s place, 9 p.m.)
KRIS: (Opens the door and looks a bit absent-minded)(sits on the sofa) (notices that Jerry is unhappy)(sits besides him) Jerry, what’s wrong?
JERRY: (Fighting back tears, and looking elsewhere) Nothing… You’re quite late tonight.
KRIS: Ya, I went to the movies with a colleague.
JERRY: Steven?
KRIS: (nods her head) Emmm. Are you ok? (Recalls what Louis told her) You’ve learnt about Fion’s marriage?
JERRY: (nods his head) I wish her eternal happiness.
KRIS: Why don’t you fight it out with Lik Hang, Gor?
JERRY: (shakes his head) No, I don’t want Fion to be put in a difficult position, I’ll rather she gives up on me.
KRIS: (looks at him and empathizing with him) Gor, you’re forever thinking of others before self. But how would you do so?
JERRY: I will tell her that we won’t meet again. Actually we have some misunderstandings previously, but I didn’t explained it to her… Perhaps I’ve already expected this… (lowers his head)
KRIS: (curious) What misunderstandings?
JERRY: (lifts his head) Remember the 3 days when you was in Canada?
KRIS: (nods her head) Oh, I recalled, you’ve told me you was supposed to celebrate your… 3 months’ anniversary or something like that with Fion…
JERRY: She stood me up because Lik Hang was down with fever… And later I met a friend, Mona in the pub and invited her home to finish up the dishes I’ve prepared. Then Fion called and heard Mona’s voice, so I think she misunderstood me…
KRIS: (curious) Is that Mona…
JERRY: No! There’s nothing between us, we are just people in the same boat and empathizes with each other. Don’t keep talking about me… You look a bit distracted too, Kris.
KRIS: I’m ok. Your problem is more serious than mine. I’ll take a bath first. (Walks away)

(At Stanley beach, 11 p.m.)(Jerry has arranged to meet Fion, for the last time…)
JERRY: We have started here, and I think this will be our last meeting. It’d all happened here. Is this considered a complete start with an end?
FION: (sad feelings) I… I went to see shooting stars yesterday night…
JERRY: With Lik Hang?
FION: No, by myself.
JERRY: Did you see any shooting stars?
FION: Not even one for the whole night.
JERRY: (forces a smile) That’s heaven’s will. By the way, thanks for turning up tonight.
FION: (looks at him) I thought I will not have another chance to see you again…
JERRY: (coldly) Is there such a need? Actually… since you’ve agreed to marry Lik Hang, you should be fully aware that the repercussions would be the end of our relationship…
FION: I’m afraid I’ll regret…
JERRY: Miss, if you want to regret, there will be many reasons…
FION: (looks seriously into his eyes) Have you regretted knowing me?
JERRY: (keeps his vision away from Fion) It should be, you’ve regretted trying to find some romantic feelings on me you can’t find in Lik Hang… Then you fell for me, and have to juggle between two men, and having a hard time dealing with the situation…
FION: (eyes wet) You…
JERRY: I can’t blame you… I can only blame myself for being so naïve… I thought by loving a person, I can accept everything about her, including her boyfriend… I think it’s a moment of passion that had blinded my sight… Thanks for telling Zoe to inform me of your marriage… I can leave the scene now…
FION: (tears flowing out of her eyes) Jerry Ah… I’m sorry… I’ll always remember you bringing me to see shooting stars, and your 24 tulips… I can’t make it up to you in this lifetime…
JERRY: Not all things have to be repayed… I think you should forget all this…
FION: Why should I?
JERRY: (Imagine Jerry's voice is echoed for the best effects) For the sake of wiping all my memories of you… Leave the memories to me… I wish you and Lik Hang eternal happiness, Bye. (walks away)
(Looking at his fading back, Fion cannot withstand the invasion of her grief anymore. She finally broke down, she has never experience such a pain-staking feeling in her heart… What can she do now besides crying…)
======================================================================================================================
PS: Oh no! Jerry is breaking up with Fion, and left her so sad and helpless... So Jerry and Kris are really siblings, and there is absolutely nothing between Mona and Jerry... So I can sort of break up this "party" thingy? Will Jerry regret breaking up with Fion?
