Francis : Hey, Ada... sorry I can't with you..Have a unexpected meeting… sorry!!
Flora : Hi, Ada… what a pity I can't join you this evening.. see you tonight…If you need a listening ear, I will be more than wiling to lend you one later...
------------------------------------FLASHBACK-------------------------------------------
Ada utters a sigh. Flora..surely she is with Gallen now…And Francis, maybe he is busy with his "little girl". She didn't want to bother Frankie who is enough with his sudden- ailing- fiancee.
She suddenly feels lonely and the department seems too big for her. A invisible void occupies her mind. She misses something… What is it? No..no way for it. It can't be Steven and his lovely small gift…But for months she is used to the avid feeling of opening the gifts and reading the lovely words inside, though she didn't know him, the secret flame. She was more than eager to know who he is... but… when he appeared before her and requests to befriendh her..why did she reject him?
============================Flashback====================================
Steven: (awkwardly) Well, I think I made a mistake, but can I befriend you? (extending his hand) I'm Steven Ma.
Ada : So you are secret flame..( breathes deeply) …Such a mad game you have. You are so free, right? But I have a lot of works waiting for me.. and Please mister don't bother me in your way anymore!!
Steven ( lowers his head with a remorseful appearance) : Sorry if I bother you..But you should know my feelings for you is true… Give me a chance please?
Ada ( angry) TRUE? When you even mistaked me for Flora? ( then walks away)
Steven ( chases after her in hasty) : Ada, please listen to me.. it's only a mistake, a beautiful misunderstanding... I...
Ada ( suddenly stops and turn back so Steven nearly rushes into her) : Steven Ma,If I am not wrong? (he nods) I don't know anything about you and don't want to know more about you so please don't fellow me OKIE?? Don't waste your time on me!!
================end of flashback===========================
She didn't give him even a few seconds to explain and rejected him at outright. But now, on the second thoughts she feels that a sort-of habit, a part of her life had left her… What do people call this kind of feeling??? Lost? Ada wonders...

At the seashore
Gallen ( runs toward Flora and gives her an coffee-ice-cream) : Honey, your gift!
Flora (smiles) : Gift? For what?
Gallen : For being a good girl, for taking medicine on time and soon recovered from the sickness.
Sitting besides him with her head resting on his shoulder, Flora chuckles when she was reminded of the way Gallen took care of her when she was sick. It was him who soothed her, it was him who cooked porridge for her..it was him who did everything… And now he is giving her a "gift" for everything he did for her. She feels a deep tinge of sweetness penetrating the innermost part of her heart. It was fabulously SWEET!
Gallen : Flora, eat it faster if you don't want the ice-cream to melt. What's wrong? You don't like it? ( then he places his hand on her forehead) Or do you feel unwell?
Flora ( smiles) : Don't worry… I love it, Gallen..it's the most delicious ice-cream i 've ever enjoyed.
Watching his sweetheart enjoying the ice-cream bit by bit, Gallen could feel the sweet taste too. The sweet taste of the ice-cream and the sweet taste of love.
Flora ( makes her face) : Hey, why do you stare at me??? There's soot on my face?
Gallen : No... of course.. I only wonder what's in your pretty head these days? Your mood doesn't seems good. Why don't you share it with me? (recalls) Ah! That day you said you have something to tell me...
Flora was starled and dropped her ice-cream on the sand. Finally he mentions it. For these days she has avoided thinking of it. For these days she has tormented herself because of it. She is struggling between love and friendship, selfishness and her principle. Engrossed in her thoughts, Flora didn't even noticed that her Gallen was fondly caressing her long hair and hugging her lovely from behind.
Gallen : Flora, why you don't tell me what you are thinking?
Flora turns round to hug him tightly and buries her head into his broad, warm chest. She wants to keep him for herself for her whole life. Irrespective of sadness or happiness, healthiness or sickness, she wants, she needs him by her side, every minute, every second, to being hugged , to being loved by him, like this moment. But.. she has to face it…with all the misery and courage.
Flora ( rolls her eyes ) : Gallen, if I ask who do you love, then what's your answer?
Gallen ( becomes worried and raises his eyebrow) : Honey, something MUST have happened to you. Why are you asking me such a question?
Flora (desperately) : Answer me, please!
Gallen : Is there someone else other than you? ( places a kiss on her forehead )
Flora (hugs him more tightly) : Then if I ask, between Kenix and I, who do you love more?
Gallen stares at her and holding her face by his hands, he faces her and looks deeply into her eyes to find something he even doesn't know… All he could detect, was the anxiousness intermingling with hope.
Gallen ( looks at Flora weirdly) : Why do you mention her out of a sudden?
Flora : You can't decide, can you?
Gallen : No… but I mean…
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gallen : Where are you bringing me to?
Flora says nothing and makes a call.
Flora : Hi, Frankie... Flora speaking. How is Ivy now?
Frankie : Hi Flora, she is feeling better now. Thanks for you concern…
Flora : Brother, I want to meet you… I have a very important matter to discuss.
Frankie : What's matter?
Flora : I want to meet you, only you…
Frankie : Ok. where?

Gallen was further bewildered. What is she doing? He couldn't have guessed… but he could feel that it will not be something pleasant, for both of them.
