We left the hotel, doing nothing.
Snow acted as though nothing had happened as she said goodbye to me.
I headed back to my home, headed to my sculpture, took out the huge cloth and continued my own personal sculpture. This was already the third and I was happy with it.
I continued chiselling, driving the last portion of the masterpiece. They were all carefully lined up. I climbed up, to work on the details when suddenly there was a pain on my nose. And I started to get a nose bleed. I dropped the chisel and hammer as I held on my nose. Trying to stop the bleeding.
A honk was heard from outside as I held on my nose and walked out.
There was Alex. Tanned and well built, and his body was covered with 80% of tattoos.
Alex: Hey Max! Everything ok? Oh wait. Is that blood?
Me: It’s fine. It will stop in a while. I get this all the time.
Alex: You sure? Want me to bring you to the doctor?
Me: It’s fine. Let’s talk in the living room.
Alex: How come you are still single since our army days? Hard to believe dude.
I smiled as I took a handkerchief and stopped the bleeding.
Alex: Alright? What’s service do you need me for?
I discussed in detail of what I thought and felt.
Alex stood up, his face filled with rage.
He clenched his fist and i could hear the knuckle’s sound.
Alex: Tell me about his hangouts. Bastards like these deserve to be taught a big lesson. And hey someone found his love eh?
Alex raised his eyebrows continuously as he nudged my shoulders.
I blushed as he said.
Alex: Ok ok don’t disturb you. I go design a plan for you. Leave this to me. Meanwhile you do your best yeah?
Our fist touched each others as we said goodbye.
I took a rest and thought it would be a good time to stop first.
I went to my sketchbook as I wrote my day’s journal.
And perhaps it would be a good time to go to the hospital to visit Dawn.
Secretly.
I dressed myself and left for the hospital, grabbing a bouquet of flowers from the ground floor. And headed up.
There was no sign of Dawn there as I walked into the ward. A 6 bedder, I could memorise where she was as I walked over.
She was not there. But the one who laid there was a thin and frail man, with tubes all over his body. He turned his head slowly, with difficulty before he looked at me.
I looked at him and the words slipped out of my mouth.
Me: Are you Dawn’s father?
He looked at me and tears began to fall as he nodded weakly. He tried to speak slowly.
Dawn’s dad: Youuu areee?
Me: Just a friend uncle. You can call me Max. How are you feeling today?
Her dad shook his head.
DD: I’mmmmm bürden… Dawn…. no money…. me… useless…
Me: Don’t say that uncle. She loves you. You meant the world to her.
DD: … I…want… die…
Me: No you won’t uncle… I will make sure of that…
I did not know why but I held his hand and assured him of that.
Me: If it’s about money. Don’t worry about it.
He gave me a puzzled look as he shook his head.
DD: Useless… old….
Out of curiosity, I saw a nurse going round for inspection. I raised my hands as she walked towards my direction.
Me: Can I talk to you a bit?
The nurse nodded as we went out to talk.
Me: How is the condition of uncle?
Nurse: How are you related to him?
Me: I’m his daughter’s boyfriend.
Nurse: Are you sure?
Me: Yes. Cause we just started.
Nurse: I see. What do you want to know about him?
Me: About his condition and how he can be treated.
Nurse sighs: Uncle needs to go for a major operation. He has been delaying it. It’s not looking good. He kept saying he’s a burden. But I know. Poor daughter had to work for his bills.
Me: Can I pay for his bills? But could you do me a favour?
She looked at me with a look: Are you sure? It’s not cheap.
Me: Can you tell that there is a donor for his operation? I don’t want Dawn to know it’s from me.
She hesitated for a while.
Nurse: Come with me.
We settled on the bill as I cleared everything.
Soon she called Dawn to come to the hospital saying that it’s a piece of good news.
I thanked her and probably asked her for another favour.
Me: Would I dress up as a male nurse too? So she can’t identify me. And perhaps I can convince her to go ahead and pick a good time for the operation.
She was hesitant for a while as she went to discuss with the seniors. Upon hearing what I did, they turned and smiled at me, giving me a good thumbs up sign.
Dawn ran into the office, panicking.
I could finally see her, and I was fully wearing the uniform, with my mouth covered and wearing the cap.
Dawn: Is it about my father? How is he? How is he?
I love seeing her soft side, her feminine side. This was the real her.
The nurse nudged me, making me wake up from my dream.
Nurse: Your dad is able to go for the surgery now. There was a donor who helped with the bills. Here, look at this.
She showed Dawn the bill and Dawn could not believe her eyes. She immediately broke down. Her lips trembling as she could not control her body. She shivered and she tried her best to speak.
Dawn: Who is he? Please tell me….
Nurse: I can’t Miss. It’s confidential.
I could see her face turn to relief.
I cut in the conversation.
Me: Ahem! I think priority is to get your dad to go for the operation without delay.
Dawn looked at me and nodded weakly.
They set the date for the operation and I walked away.
From the encounter just now, perhaps I can start on the fourth sculpture now. I was eager to sketch out what I saw.
Dawn ran to her dad.
Dawn: Daddy! You can go for the operation! That’s good news!
Her dad cried: Your… boy..friend… paid… good…. mannn..
Dawn: Boyfriend? Who?
She looked around. I hid in a corner, looking at them happily.
Dawn held his father’s hands as they talked to each other.
Suddenly Dawn recalled the nurse’s voice and built.
Dawn: Can it be?
I smiled and left. Suddenly there was a pain on my chest. And i coughed.
There.
Was blood again.

It was becoming more frequent.
Perhaps I was getting too heaty?
Dawn dialled Mary’s number.
Dawn: Hi mama, did that Max guy look for you before?
Mary: He did. But I was declined talking to him. He asked about you.
Dawn: What happened after you declined him?
Mary: Not too sure, but I think he took Snow out.
Dawn: Sure thanks.
Mary: Did anything happen?
Dawn: Nope. Nothing. I need to take a few days off mama. My dad is getting the operation.
Mary: It’s great child! You managed to get the money?
Dawn: Someone paid for it. And I think it’s him.
I took a rest at home. Exhausted but happy.
Now all’s that is left is Dawn’s contract.

King was the same. His dad had given up on him completely. He showed no sign of giving a damn. He still spent like the old days, using verbal credit. Soon he had made a lot of enemies. And his debt was piling sky high. He borrowed from loan sharks, one after another.
Until the neighbours could not put up with his nonsense. They called the police and they could do nothing.
His dad kept apologising to them but he knew it’s going to be soon before they would be asked to leave.
His dad had to work extra hard to foot his son’s debts. But soon his body was giving way. He could feel his body growing weaker. He tried to tell his son but King would just ignore him, instead he would ask him for even more money.
King has picked up another habit.
Abusing ladies and molesting.
He was getting bolder and bolder.
He liked the kick of attacking woman, and seeing their unexpected expressions.
One after another.
He liked the feeling of triumph.
And then he saw another target.
He rubbed his hands. Hid in the shadows. Licked his lips.
And stared hungrily.

I spent most of my time visiting the hospital, seeing Dawn’s father, being there and lending him a listening ear.
He told me stories about Dawn, where we both laughed. His health was getting better, and now he was living in an A ward.
I knew of the times that Dawn would be here, so I could avoid her. I did not want her to know about me.
Perhaps today was a special one for me and I would like to go to the ktv, I would like to book Dawn for the night.
I said goodbye to Dawn’s father as I left.
I was there early as I saw Mary, and asked if I could bring Dawn out.
Surprisingly she agreed instantly. And she appeared happy too.
Weird, I thought.
I was ushered to the room and Dawn came in, wearing a low cut black dress, her hair tied up. She wore no make up and her Kenzo rose perfume smelled really good.
Dawn: Hi.
Me: Hi.
I practically blanked out, seeing her in real person.
She liked the attention now.
Dawn: How long are you going to sit there and look at me? Whole night?
Her words woke me as I scratched my head.
Me: Sorry. sorry.
Dawn: Any songs you would like to sing?
Me: Er…
Dawn: Let me sing a song for you?
Me: ok.
There she sang this song.
She sat closer to me.
“想逃离你布下的陷阱 却陷入了另一个困境 我没有决定输赢的勇气 也没有逃脱的幸运 我像是一颗棋 进退任由你决定 我不是你眼中唯一将领 却是不起眼的小兵”
She sobbed.
She stopped.
Looked at me.
She placed her palms on my mouth.
Dawn: Say you love me.
I did as I was told.
Dawn: It’s you isn’t it? Why? Why?
It was like she dropped all her defences. She dropped the mike and cried in my arms. Both her palms holding my shirt tightly.
Dawn: eeeeerrrr… awwwwww…. ahhhhhhhhhhh!
She cried as the music played.
The room went silent and dark.
She leaned over and kissed me, her actions quick and cold.
I stopped her.
Me: I’m not here because I want you to repay me with these actions Dawn. You must have been mistaken. Yes I was the one. But I need not go to this level.
Dawn was quick to react: Then what do you want? Me? To screw me?
Me: No.
Dawn: Then why? Why are you here?
Me: To see you. I want to see you happy.
Dawn: What is happiness?
Me: When I saw your delicate smile in the hospital. I want to see you like that.
Dawn: How? How can I? You don’t know who am I and what am I! NOW TELL ME WHY ARE YOU HERE!
Me: It’s my birthday. I only wanted your company. I wanted to see you smile and not work so hard. Drinking and smoking is bad for you.
Dawn: You think I want this life? You think…
I didn’t know what went over me but I hugged her tight.
Me: You’ve got me Dawn. You have me.
She shivered.
I could feel her body shaking.
She did not push me away but she lightly tapped me.
Dawn: you don’t know my history and my background…
Me: You don’t know mine too…
Dawn: No… Max. I don’t deserve you. You are naive and good hearted. I am nothing but worthless. Please.
Max: Quit this job. I can support you.
Dawn: You don’t even know me.
I scrolled the song list as I pressed on.
I knew I sounded awful but seeing that smile on her face meant so much more.
Then.
I could feel my nose heating up.
I swallowed my saliva.
Not now please. I begged myself. Not now.
I pushed Dawn further as I took out my handkerchief.
There was blood again. Now it’s becoming more and more frequent.
Dawn: You alright?
I gestured for her to stay where she was as I went to the toilet.
I saw Snow outside the toilet and she was shocked.
My handkerchief was all dyed red.
Now there was really something wrong. Something deadly wrong.

King pounced out, pinning her to the dark ground.
She was shocked as he roamed his hands all over her breasts, tearing off the buttons with a single hand, revealing her black laced bra, her melons were clamped nicely as he buried his face in between, smelling the sweet aroma of her sweat. She struggled but King’s strength was far too strong for her.
He pushed up her bra, revealing a pair of C cups with huge eraser nipples, he savoured them whole hungrily. She struggled, then revealed her arm with the cigarette burn. This excited him even more.
King: So it’s you!
He ripped her clothes, and laughed while slapping her face violently.
His hands went underneath her skirt, and forced his fingers roughly, causing pain. She screamed but he covered her mouth with her own panty.
He unzipped himself and she watched in horror, seeing his engulfed rod. She struggled, swing sideways, with her legs kicking wildly. He forced opened her legs and in one thrust, he penetrated her.
She screamed in pain as he let out the wild beast in him, slapping her face as he liked.
She was still trying to break free, trying to defend herself.
Her hands reached, hoping to find anything she could.
She could not see properly in the dark and the moment she could grab something, she took hold of an object.
King bent down to kiss her, happily shouting at her.
She did not know as she swung the flat object at his face, slid through his eyes and the object flew of with her impact.
King loosened his grip and she broke free, gathering her any garment she had left and ran.
King shrieked in pain as he gave chase. His vision turning red.
King: Slut! Don’t you run you fucking bitch!
She screamed and ran.
King suddenly tripped on the rock and what hit him rendered him unconscious as he fell down a slope.

Me: It’s nothing Snow. Just maybe I’m a little heaty.
Snow: It’s not. Look at you.
Me: I’m really fine.
Snow: But…
Me: I’M FINE!
I shouted at her. The people turned their heads, seeing what was happening. Dawn came out from the room. Turned towards my direction.
Snow was taken aback by my actions as she cried.
Dawn stood there.
Because she saw the drips of blood on the floor, leading to where I was standing.
She walked nearer.
My nose was still bleeding.
Dawn: Are you alright? What’s wrong?
Me: I’m fine, Dawn. Perhaps could we go out for some fresh air?
She nodded as she held my arms, helping me walk out.
Snow gazed at us. And there was that tinge of jealousy.
We went to the top of Mount Emily.
Seeing the night scene was rejuvenating.
Dawn crossed her arms on mine as she leaned her head towards me.
Dawn: Thanks Max. I really don’t know how to thank you.
Me: You don’t have to, Dawn. Really.
We kept the silence for an hour, enjoying her company. It felt comfortable to be with her.
The smell of her hair, her feminine character, her soft breasts.
I pictured them in my thoughts and was determined to finish my fourth piece.
Me: Have you seen someone sculpting stones?
Dawn shook her head.
Me: Maybe I can show you how a sculptor works?
She nodded her head excitedly.
Me: Dawn?
She turned her head, suddenly shocked by my formal voice.
Dawn: Yes?
Me: Quit your job. Let me take care of you.
Dawn cupped her hands on her lips.
Dawn: You don’t even know me, but why?
Me: I’m not sure. But I knew you were meant for me. I know I’m not that good looking nor am I very rich but I just want you to be happy. I love to see you smile.
Dawn: But…
Me: Don’t worry about your dad. His bills are paid for.
Dawn: But… I don’t have a home. If I stop working I can’t pay the rent…
Me: If you trust me, I will take care of everything.
Dawn: Give me some time Max. This is happening all too quickly.
Me: Sure. I’ll give you a job offer. Would you be my PA?
Dawn: PA?
Me: Personal assistant. Taking care of my businesses.
Dawn: I’m not really educated.
Me: It’s fine. It’s quite easy to grasp.
She could not believe my words.
Me: Well, let’s go to my rented office then. I have a sculpture that needs to be finished.
She nodded as I held her hand.
And there was no rejection.

I asked the uncle to head for the hospital instead. Perhaps I can see the smile of Dawn before I bring her to my place.
She was surprised but she just kept quiet, she seem to understand my intention. This time she clasped my hands tightly.
Me: Uncle, look who’s here?
Dawn’s father was very happy to see us. And he was saying nonstop about us having the couple look and stuff. He was getting better and his voice seemed to get stronger too.
DD: When can I be discharged?
Me: We will have to check with the doctors uncle. But you are looking great!
Dawn: Yes dad. You are looking good!
We spent about an hour as I asked Dawn.
Me: Would you like to go to my office or you want to rest?
Dawn: I’ll go with you. You’ve booked me the whole night anyway.
I whispered back: If I can, I would like to book you for life.
She pinched me and I tickled her back. It seemed as though we had known each other for the longest time.
We waved goodbye to her dad as we left. He was smiling happily.
We got on the cab, towards my house (rented office to her).
Dawn gasped when she saw my house.
Dawn: Oh my god. You sure this is an office?
Me: Yeap. I sort of camp here too.
Dawn: Must be expensive.
Me: I’m lucky. This house belongs to my friend an he rents it to me at a discounted price.
She took a good look at the entire house, with a lush garden in it. There was where I work. There were alot of sculptures covered in huge canvas, to prevent disturbance.
Dawn: That’s a lot of sculptures you have there.
Me: Really? Yeah but I still need an assistant to help me in logistics. That would be you. Interested? I can pay you $4000 monthly. How’s that?
Dawn: Are you sure?
Me: I’m very sure Dawn.
Dawn nodded silently.
Dawn: But I don’t know about much.
Me: It’s easy. You will get the hang easily. Leave it to me. Give me some time to draft the appointment letter. But for now you can quit your job.
Dawn: This is the best thing that happened in my life Max.
Me: I’m sure of it.
Dawn: You big egoist!
We laughed.
I brought her to the sculpture and taught her about the tools I used. She was quick and soon she knew which are the tools that I need.
She saw me continuing my sculpture with awe.
It was heaven to see her so happy. But deep in me, I knew I had to go for a checkup and the answer is not going to be happy. But there was another thing I need to do. I had to pretend that I was not that rich, for Dawn would surely get stressed.
I had to buy a flat. A 3 roomed one.
With the plans in my head, I was ready to get it all done. Within this week. And perhaps have a meeting with my lawyer too.
King laid unconsciously on the ground with blood all over. His face and all around. It took him a long time to regain consciousness.
He was lucky that there was a passerby who saw him unconscious and called for an ambulance the next morning.
He woke up.
And he isn’t pleased at all.
His entire view was all dark.
And he felt an unbearable pain in his crotch.
He had lost his sight.
And his precious.
*He fell down the slope, where his head hit a boulder rendering him unconscious as he continued to fall. He rolled towards a broken glass bottle where it inflicted a huge cut in his privates. He was bleeding profusely and there was lack of oxygen running through. By the time he was rushed to the hospital, they had to remove it to save his life. Now he had to depend on a tube for his urination.*
King: What the fuck! Where am I? Why is it so dark!
He was throwing his tantrum in the hospital and he was living in a C class.
King: Why is it so noisy and smelly in here?
King’s dad: Hush son, please.
King: Hush what hush? You motherfucker.
KD: You are in the hospital.
King: For what! Can you please switch in the bloody light! I can’t see a damn thing!
King’s dad shook his head.
KD: You can’t son. Your eyes has been damaged so badly it’s beyond regaining it.
King: Fuck you! What are you talking about? Then give me your eyes you useless old man.
King’s dad was disappointed with his son, he rose and then turned around.
KD: What have I done to deserve this?
He placed his palm on his face as he cried.
King was still there, throwing vulgarities.

I went over to Dawn’s side and placed the blanket over her. She was sound asleep with that smile.
I carefully kept my things, and went for a shower.
The meeting with my lawyer was at 10am.
I left a note to Dawn to wait for me in the house. There were food on the table and the fridge. If she had to go, there were the keys on the table.
I was happy to meet the lawyer who was one of my best friends, we chatted and he helped me draft a letter, asking if this was a right decision.
I nodded and we parted goodbyes.
Next appointment, the property agent. We scouted and combed the area before I confirmed my flat. Paid for it in full when the agent was shocked. The paperwork was all done. Next thing is just waiting to get the keys from the owner.
The next appointment.
And the one I dreaded most.
A visit to the doctor.
I didn’t know why but my heart was thumping wildly.
But irregardless of it, I had the right to know what is happening to my body.
Yup. They collected samples from my body, and the doctor asked me so many questions that I nearly wanted to just leave. Now I just have to wait for the results. They would call me if anything.
I went back and drafted the employment letter, stating the t&cs.
Took me some time but at least everything was coming together.
I took my phone and texted Dawn.
Me: Your employment letter is ready Dawn. Can you come down to sign it?
It did not take minutes. She replied in mere seconds.
Dawn: Yes boss.
She was here very fast.
Today she wore a white long sleeved shirt with gray pants and red heels. Her hair bun up, giving her the OL look. Sexy and demure. I could not take my eyes off her.
Dawn: Ahem.
I stood up straight.
Me: Yes Dawn, here’s the contract… have a look.
She bent down, trying to read.
Perhaps it was deliberate.
I saw that pink lingerie which held her soft melons, with that added outline of laces, and in the middle of the bra was a ribbon with a pearl on it. I swore I would like to squish my face there and inhale all that fragrance inside me. She was reading and her slight movements caused her jellies to jiggle, sending that impulse in my mid section.
Dawn: I’m tired of reading. Where do I sign?
I sat back, pointing to her where to sign.
Dawn: Why are there so many sheets?
Me: It’s just official paperwork Dawn. Don’t worry.
She nodded as she signed off.
Dawn: So what now BOSS?
She teased me.
Me: Nothing at the moment. Perhaps either you stay here or you are welcome to leave.
Dawn: I’ll stay. Perhaps you can teach me something about that sculpting?
Me: Nah. It’s very tiring. You’ll get cuts all over.
Dawn: Am not afraid.
Me: You said it.
Dawn nodded.
Me: Alright. Here we go.
I continued on the sculpture, teaching her the basics. Surprisingly she was able to pull it off, and she was really talented at it.
She paused.
Dawn: Em..
Me: Yes?
Dawn: I think the sculpture looks familiar?
Me: Familiar?
I tried to divert her attention.
Dawn: Why do I feel it’s like me? Look at the details.
Me: You must be dreaming. It’s just a sculpture.
Dawn: You sure?
She said as she accidentally cut her finger.
Dawn: Ouch.
She said as she dropped the chisel.
I quickly went to the first aid kit and took care of her cut. Luckily it was just a scratch.
Me: See? I told you.
She looked at my arms that was full of cuts. Her gaze now reached up as she looked deep in me.
Time stood still. We looked at each other. And we came closer to each other, feeling each other’s breathing. My heart was racing.
Our lips touched for the first time.
Softness.
Wet.
Were the words to describe.
Our lips locked as we buried each other in our embrace.
I swallowed her saliva as her tongue reached for mine.
This was a time which I hope would last forever.
Snow: Mama? Dawn is not working today? Have not seen her. Is she unwell today?
Mary: No Snow. I got a message from her. She has found a job and would quit as a ktv hostess. For good.
Snow: Wow. Lucky her.
She said as she turned around. Smashing the cup that was beside her.

King did not know how severe his condition was.
He continued to create a big scene, cursing and swearing vulgarities, becoming a nuisance to the patients.
The nurses who went over was sexually molested, he could not keep his hands to himself. They ran off and told their superiors of his actions.
His dad was called but it was futile talking to his son.
King did not believe that this was happening to him.
He could not accept the truth that his sight and manhood was gone.
Soon no one in the hospital could stand him and they distanced themselves, unless they are dressing his wounds. His hands would be tied to the bed, making sure he can’t do any silly tricks.
A few weeks passed and soon he was starting to cope with it. But he was the same as usual, crude as ever.
It was finally time that he could be discharged from hospital.
Dawn and her father had moved in to my 3 room flat that I said was my actual home. I had told them that I spent most of my time in the office so they can live in peace. Furthermore, there was a maid to take care of their needs.
Dawn was an efficient assistant, and she could get things done fast.
Through her, I was able to complete many pieces of art for auction and exhibitions.
Snow on the other hand, kept waiting. Until a day she would see me visit the ktv again.
It was my appointment again.
The doctor had come to my place.
Not a good sign.
I told Dawn she could take the day off to spend with her dad. She nodded happily.
She waved goodbye to my with that angelic smile.
And I did the same.
The doctor sat down with a frown on his face.
Doctor: You are not going to like what I’m about to tell you Max.
With that, Dawn’s eyelid twitched. What was that sense of uneasiness?
She wasn’t always the superstitious kind, but she thought it might be a good time to go and pray for a lot. At the famous Guanyin Temple. The divine lot might reveal many, she thought.
Coffeecans Reads
Dawn knelt and wished for a divine lot.
She had asked about me.
It took her quite sometime before a lot fell.
She asked if it was the lot she was asking for and the crescents said yes.
LOT 24.
“Your home is broken up by disputes without a cause. Like withered bloosms drifting on a bottomless ocean. Grace will hardly aid an idot or fool. a heap of troubles is all that remains.”
In this scene, a fool is trapped and can find no way out. In such a situation, you can do nothing but put up with your difficulties. Tolerance can work miracles. Breathe no gossip and spread no scandal, look after everything carefully. Be as hard working, honest and friendly as you can. In this way, you may keep yourself out of disaster. Both you and your family will be in danger. Business cannot be done nor money earned. Prospects for matrimony are not promising, so parties concerned have to wait. Pregnancy is only possible through prayer. Grains, silkworms and domestic animals will all encounter disease or plague or be injured in other ways. Visitors will be delayed, and the missing cannot be found. Things lost are very difficult to find. You will lose lawsuits. It is a good year for migration. The sick person is in danger, so quickly pray for god’s mercy. Misfortune will affect your ancestral graves.
There was just something here that worried her.
Just what was that uncertainty?
I walked along the streets like how a man had lost his soul. My mind was in a total blank. How could this be true? How?
How was I to break this to Dawn?
I walked on, ignoring the surroundings. It was as though the world meant nothing to me.
Until a deafening honk was heard.
Suddenly someone pulled me back.
The driver pushed out his middle finger as he drove.
It was a familiar voice.
Snow.
Snow: What are you doing?
I rolled my eyes to my right, catch a glimpse of her as my nose bled again.
Snow: Max! Are you alright?
Without saying anything, I blacked out.
Now King was slowly resigned to his fate.
He can’t see nor have sex. And it was driving him real mad.
His dad was not around most of the time due to his work. King had shut himself in the room.
Spoilt as he may be, his ability to adapt was fast. Soon he could navigate around his flat. he knew where the windows and doors were. And he could walk away with ease.
He kept laughing to himself and saying the word: Karma… karma…
He laughed and could’t stop.
He was practically dancing in the kitchen like a ballerina.
His dad had shut the windows, preventing him from trying to commit suicide.
He turned and swung his arms.
The utensils fell to the ground but he didn’t give a damn.
It was when he hit something.
And he ignored it again, dancing in his own world, knocking everything down.
Dawn was worried as she took the divine lot and asked the old lady who had a small table right outside.
She shook her head as she told her to be prepared.
The fear in Dawn surfaced more.
It took me a while to regain my consciousness and I saw Snow sobbing at the corner.
I tried to stand up slowly.
Me: Snow? Where am I?
Snow: The hotel where I first met you.
Me: How?
Snow: I have my means Max. Why did you lie to me? Heaty?
Me: How did you know?
Snow: I could have guessed it Max.
Me: It’s nothing serious Snow. Please. Don’t be like this. I need to go back.
Snow: You are not going back until you tell me everything!
Me: I am leaving.
Snow stretched out her arms towards the door and forbid me to open the door.
I brushed her aside, and opened the door.
Dawn stood outside.
Shocked.
I paused.
Dawn took a look inside and there was Snow, getting dressed up.
Dawn: What are you both doing?
Me: It’s not what you think Dawn.
Dawn turned in tears and ran. I gave chase.
Snow arched her lips sideways as she looked to the side.
