Chapter 18

Latent Love

(Flora’s office)

She was about to leave the station with a perplexed mind. “Life is so complicated. Ivy is so pitiful” She breathes a sigh: “At least I have Gallen by my side.” Then she chuckles. The thought of Gallen, never failed to bring her a sweet feeling and that make her chuckles. All of a sudden, she feels someone’s embracement from the behind.

Gallen (gives her a kiss on her cheek): Why you are so composed? If it’s not me…

Flora (giggles): Do you really want to know? Then first you should find someone dares to do it, and then you will know… (Gives him a nudge)

Gallen (makes his face): You have heart to treat me like that when I have been here for hours to wait for you?

Flora: Who desires it? I said you don’t need to wait for me. I had an appointment with… my client.

Gallen: Who desires it? You don’t but I do. How is your work? It seems like your client has to deal with a serious problem such that he stole you from me for such a long time.

Flora utters a breath and softly wags her long hair.

Gallen (gently holds her hands) Ok, forget all the endless work. I will bring you to…

Flora: Where?

Gallen: Anywhere you want to go.

Flora: I want to go to the moon.

Gallen: (smiles sweetly) My dear, I am with you.

Ada is enjoying her Saturday evening alone with a relieved spirit. Now she knows forgive and forget is easier said than done for human being but all above, it can bring the tranquil feeling. Suddenly a ring from the door bell breaks the tranquility .

Man : Hi,Miss. I am from the post office Please sign for this. ( Giving Ada a big bunch of flowers). Sign here please ( offering the invoice)

Ada : Thanks.

Closing the door behind, Ada is curious to open the card enclosed with the red roses. There is no mark of the sender except some words

“ My heart belongs to you,
Your secret flame”....

Flora is shouting out loudly some words in the lovely card which she has snatched from Ada.

Flora : Ada, you are so naughty!!! Say!!! Who is your secret sweetheart?

Ada ( offering the card) : There is even no a recipient’s and sender’s name here. It might be a surprise Gallen gave you.

Flora: No way it’s Gallen. He knows I don’t like red roses. Tell me who is pursuing you, buddy!

Ada (smiling cheekily) They may be for you, who knows?

******************************************************
Days elapsed and everyday there is a gift sent to two girls’ apartment, and as usual, without the recipient’s name. Though both Ada and Flora practically scrutinize all the gifts in details, they still have no clues who “secret flame” is.

(At Myolie‘s home)

Myolie: Gor…How is your plan going? I can’t see any sign of it.

Steven: (smiles confidently) Don’t worry. By the way, you should also show your cooperation, Siu Mei.

Myolie: What can I do when Flora and Gallen... they are side by side every now and then?

Steven: They will not soon!!! I have finished my first step. It’s time to carry the second one. The “secret flame” appears!!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Gallen nearly got mad at Myolie when she tags him every time and everywhere she could.

Gallen (tries to keep his temper): Little girl, it is impossible between us, do you understand? Why you are so stubborn? I have a girlfriend already… I am not as good as you imagine me to be. I am much older than you. If you still refuse to accept this fact, then I think I must request Mr. Lam to transfer you to another division.

Then he left, ignoring Myolie, whose eyes start wet with tears.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Myolie is still sobbing: “Why you are so rude, Gallen? I only want to be by your side. Age gaps is not a problem to me! What matters is that I really like you.”

The man: hi, hi…

Through the tears, Myolie sees a man who is pryin at her with all his surprise.

Myolie (wipes her tear away): What’s wrong?

The man: I only want to ask why you are crying so bitterly. You got a scolding, haven’t you?

Myolie: None of you business!!! Busybody!!!

The man (shrugs): I am only showing my concern here, little girl!!!

Myolie (shouting): I AM NOT A LITTLE GIRL!!!! (ran off)

(Ocean Park)(3 p.m.)

Francis was sitting on a bench, waiting for Ada to return from her washroom visit. Then he spotted someone.

Francis: (walks up swiftly to the girl and blindfolds her) Guess who this is!

Moses: (from behind, shouting) Hey, what are you doing?

Francis: (turns behind) Huh?

Melissa: (turns around) Biu Gor? When did you come back?

Moses: He’s your Biu Gor?

Francis: (teasingly putting his arms around her) Well, her sweetheart as well…

Melissa: (laughs) You’ll never change!

Francis: That is my merit! What are you doing here?

Melissa: Relax of course! What else? And what about you? (sees Ada approaching) Oh, with your girlfriend!

Ada: (heard her words) I’m not his girlfriend, I’m his sister!

Melissa: (shocked) Since when did I have another cousin?

Francis: Well, she means I treat her like my baby sister.

Ada: (smiling) I think the word “Baby” fits Flora more. She practically behaves like one.

The mention of Flora somehow stirred up Moses. He kept his smile in this little conversation. Melissa noticed that and suggested they make a move.

Melissa: Well, I think we’ll go over there, see you around! (They parted)

Moses remained quiet for the next few minutes, Melissa decided to break the silence.

Melissa: Still thinking about her?

Moses: If I said I forgot about her completely I’ll be lying! (looks at her) I’m sorry…

Melissa: Why say sorry to me? We’re just friends, at least for now!

Moses: Sorry if I spoilt your day!

Melissa: Well, we are here to relax and play, my friend!

Moses: Thanks for treating me as one. Well, I don’t have many female friends.

Melissa: (smiles) Then it is certainly your honor to have me as your friend! I’m hard to come by!

Moses: (Smiling teasingly) Hard-selling yourself!

Melissa: (smiling) You’re finally smiling! Well, do I need it?

They spent the rest of the afternoon trying all the rides available in Ocean Park.
