Short StoryI love writing story . I write some , but end up haven 't finished it . The more I write , the longer the story gets . I only can finish it when it is a homework assignment . But the story isn 't perfect . Anyway ; ) Have you ever received kindness from strangers ? I have . It was the greatest feeling ever . It felt like everything is possible . Those memories I can 't never forget . Somewhere around the world I wish those people great happiness , health and well . I may not be able to recognize them but their kindness will never be forgotten . A child around 6 years old and a woman around 47 years old were lost in a foreign country . They had nothing but empty pocket . The two were wandering around the city without knowing where to go and it was quite an afternoon . If by 5pm they couldn 't find a place to stay , they would sleep on the street with empty stomach . The child was scared and she wished she were back in her country . She started to recall her daily routine . Around this time she would go around to her neighbourhood 's house and fool around with her friends . She missed them already . She felt like crying but she didn 't know why she can 't . The child was hungry and she was sure that the woman was hungry as well . They kept walking and walking , still didn 't know where they were going . That child and that woman were me and my grandma . My grandma lost her money when we were at the border between Cambodia and Vietnam . We didn 't know how we lost it . My grandma is a smart woman . Under any circumstance , she would always find a solution for both of us . If it was a deadline , she would go and sell her blood to get money for us . At that time around , hospital would buy your blood for little amount of money . My grandma didn 't mind about that as long as we would get some money to buy some food to keep us up for a day . I was scared . I could not imagine my grandma on the hospital 's bed and get her blood sucked out . I said no to that but I was sure my grandma would do it anyway if there was no other way . We just kept walking and walking . The sun was still very harsh on us . Luckily there were a lot of trees around the city so we could stop by in the shade and rested . We saw some men talking to each other . My grandma approa ched them to see if they could help us a little bit . As she got closer she actually heard them speaking in Vietnamese ! My grandma spoke to them for quite awhile and then she waved me to come to where they were standing . " So this is your granddaughter ? She 's so cute ! " One man said , and the rest were smiling at me . I was like , ' strangers ' . I saw them gathering together and collecting the money . I thought maybe they wanted to buy us some food but they actually gave the money to my grandma . One of them asked grandma to give me some money to buy some food for us . Grandma gave me two riel and the guys showed me to a small store to get food . I didn 't want to go because I didn 't speak Cambodian and I didn 't know anyone , but I had to go . I went to that small store one of the guy showed me . I gave the two riel to the woman . She smiled and said something I didn 't understand . She realized that I wasn 't Cambodian so she started to point at the food to see which one I wanted to get I guessed . I just pointed it randomly because I didn 't really know how the food would taste , also I was too hungry to be picky . Finally I got to hold the food in my hands and I couldn 't wait to be back to my grandma 's place to start eating . I gave the plate to my grandma but she didn 't take it . She said , " you eat " then she continued to talk to the guys . They were labour people . They walked around the city to sell chicken feather brooms . All of the brooms were handmade and being sold very cheap . The brooms were beautiful and colourful . Only if you could see how they made it then you would appreciate it more because the final piece was a perfect beautiful broom , but to get that they had to go through whole lots of processes and the price was really cheap . The food I got was the best food that I had ever had ! Even though it didn 't look so good at all . I didn 't think I would ever eat that but I did and I finished the whole plate ! People always feel pity for the children when they hear some sad stories about the children . They feel sympathy and they will help the children as much as they can . So I did get sympathy from those people . My story was that me and my grandma came to Cambodia to find my mom because my grandma heard someone said that she saw my mom somewhere in Cambodia so my grandma decided to leave everything behind to go and find my mom . We made it to Cambodia but the thing was , we didn 't have anymore money to keep on going . It was late in the afternoon already . The men had to go back to work . They asked if my grandma know any place to stay . My grandma told them we didn 't have anywhere to go and didn 't know where to go either . I could see a little silence . Then once again they gathered together and again they collected each other 's money . They wrote down the address for us and they even told my grandma very carefully how to get to the address . They called us a motobike guy to take us to that address . We said good bye from there and I had never seen them again even though my grandma and I were living in the same community with them . The place was a Vietnamese community . Most of the Vietnamese people gathered together and lived there just like we have Chinatown here . The gap was they were always out working and coming back very late at night . Also , grandma told me she met them after that just to say thank you but I never got a chance to say thank you . Life is full of surprises . You can 't predict what will happen to you . For one moment you think that you 're finished , suddenly miracle appears and save your life . Do you believe in guardian angel ? For me , I do . Miracle is not some kind of supernatural flashlight to make thing they way you want but it 's a mystery of the Universe . I am confusing myself again . I love going to school , but I don 't know what I should take . I love writing , but I cannot go to university for Creating Writing because if I want to do that I have to go through high school diploma again . It 's such a pain in the ass . Why is it always so hard for me to complete my school ? I have patient but missing school for 4 - 5 years is no fun at all . First of , I missed 3 years of school in Vietnam . I became the oldest person in my class since I entered grade 4 . That I have already skipped 2 grades because I did not study grade 2 and 3 . All I learned was from grandma with the grade 3 writing to get better handwriting and math 3 to study how to calculate plus , minus , multiply , divide . I did pretty well for an amateur home school . Got into grade 4 and even late for 2 months of school . However , the first semester I got B grade . I got recognized by my home room teacher . Then when I finished grade 4 , I got A , with the world EXCELLENT STUDEN on my certificate . I was quite happy with that , and proud of myself . My family also proud regarded of my skipping grade . They even planned to skip more grade for me so I can reach to the grade that was my age supposed to study . But we failed to do that because from grade 1 to grade 5 is elementary and from grade 6 to grade 9 is high school . So there was a gap between grade 5 and 6 so I have to follow the agenda . Why am I writing this I don 't know . Even though time has gone by for all those high school years , I am still pissed off at my fate : / . I wasn 't able to study like others . I was excellent student from grade 4 to 9 . Then I have to moved to Canada , and my grade got cut again . I lived in White Rock the first year when I got to Canada . Lucky I was 17 so I wasn 't considered adult yet so I was able to enter high school in there . At least I have had a great high school year in a different country . The scene was exactly like in the movies I watch about America . You wear whatever you like to go to school . School starts at 8 so you have plenty of time . You don 't need to wake up at 5am to get ready . It was wonderful I thought . My only problem was … How the hell could I speak to people ? ! ? ! ? Even though I got to study grade 10 over here , but to be honest , the only grade 10 I was able to study was Math . That 's all ! And that , I had to have a freaking dictionary right beside me every time I was doing the WORD PROBLEM . English was suck . I couldn 't understand anything . I mean when people talked to me I just pretend I was deaf . They put me in science ! That was even worse ! ! ! I didn 't know how I manage to get C - in that class because every time we have group study or assignment to do research on stuff I just left it blank or copy in the book tried to write as much as I could so at least I could get something . P . E ? Oh God ! Luckily I didn 't really need to talk to the people at all in that class but sometimes I needed to go up and do some stupid move to show the girls exercise and I was totally lost it . It was so embarrassing ! Running ? I used to run very fast when I was in P . E in Vietnam . I even beat the guys in my class for running 2 rounds around school yard even though I was almost passed out due to the fact that I did not eat my breakfast . When I came here , I was always the last one to come back ! What was wrong with me ? I didn 't know why ! " Things from present may be hard as they seem , but when time passes and you look back , you can laugh at what has happened to you in the past " . A part of my story when I was freshly permanent resident in Canada . Well to be specific , Vancouver it is . There were sorrows . There were regrets . There were loneliness . There were tears . Never thought I could made it through . You have to lose something in order to gain something . Still I am happy to be here now because I have more choices than back in my own country . When live has taken all the possibilities , people often think that they 're at dead - end . I wonder how many people in the world are lucky enough to get out of the worse situations , or they 'd be buried in grief . Through life experiences , I have learned that when you 're encompassed by the darkness , somehow there will be light that brighten your way out . For once , I and my grandma got into a difficult situation , and I thought that we would be homeless , nowhere to go . My grandma told me , " we are going to Cambodia to find your mother . " I wondered why she said that . From my understanding , my mother was still around town . I just barely saw her . I could only see her once in awhile when it was some kind of holiday like family reunion or traditional New Year . She was living with her boyfriend . My grandma and my mother didn 't get along well , and my grandma refused to let my mother take care of me . So they separated from each other , and I had to live with my grandma instead of my mother . " Where is Cambodia grandma ? " I asked curiously . In my imagination , Cambodia was a fancy place . A misty place , covered with fog . It was like an illusion to me . I was excited to discover that place . " Of course I 'll go with you grandma . I won 't be staying with the other grandma , she 's mean to me . I don 't like her , " I tried to explain as much as I could so that my grandma would never change her mind to take me with her . She did that all the time , always changed her mind . Once she told me that she would bring me with her to the other city for awhile , but then she ended up sending me to the other grandma for three months . After that , I promised myself I would never let my grandma go away from me again . It was scary . She kissed me on my forehead then fell asleep right away . I was so excited I couldn 't sleep . It took me awhile to fall asleep because I kept imagining about that place . We got to Cambodia . The motorcycle driver dropped us at in front of the jewelry store . My grandma asked him to wait as she would go to sell her gold , and then she would pay him . He agreed to wait for us . My grandma looked excited opening her purse . Suddenly , her face turned red . Her hands went through the purse hastily . She checked over and over again . She looked up to me and asked , " did you see a small bag in my purse ? " I couldn 't say anything to her but kept my mouth shut . I was worried after I heard what she said . We didn 't have any money anymore . It was so hot that the motorcycle driver got all wet by his sweat . He was waiting for us patiently ; however , I could see that he was no longer patient . He said something to my grandma , and my grandma said something to him . He looked mad , but it seemed like he couldn 't do anything . He got on his motorcycle and ran away . I didn 't see my grandma giving him money , so I guessed he gave up waiting for us as he figured out we had lost our gold ring . No money left , we wandered around the city . My grandma held my hand walking . Her hand was cold . I could feel her hand was shaking . She was worried about me mostly . I was scared . I was thinking where would we stay tonight , and how could we have food . We didn 't have anymore money . It was a different land , and we didn 't really speak the language . My grandma knew a little Cambodian . Still she couldn 't understand much of what people were saying to her . " We will go to find my friend . I believe they 're around the city , it 's just I don 't remember which way . We will ask as we go along , " she answered sadly . We walked under the shade of the trees that lined up on the sidewalk because it was so hot . I was thirsty , but I couldn 't ask for anything from my grandma . I didn 't want to upset her . I started to get hungry , and it was around noon already . We walked silently through the street , didn 't know where to go . I was so exhausted . I felt like it was our end of live . We had nowhere to go . We had no money . We were tired . We were homeless . My grandma was still thinking . She kept looking around , but didn 't say anything . Then we heard a group of men talking . They were speaking our language ! I smiled , hopefully we got to talk to them . I could see my grandma 's face was brightened . Eventually , my grandma decided to go and talk with them . I didn 't understand what they were talking about . I sat at the stone chair by them and looked around . They looked at me pitifully . I could feel that they were sorry for me . I knew what my grandma said . She probably told them about our situation and why we were here . They gathered together , and then one of them came to us , gave us some of their money . At that moment , I felt like there was still hope for us . I finally had food into my stomach . It was great . The food was so good . I didn 't know whether the food was good , or I was so hungry that I couldn 't stop eating . Everything was perfect . My grandma didn 't eat . She left all the food for me because she knew I was very hungry . She kept talking to those men . They looked not better than us . They were labour men . They walked around selling their chicken feather broom . The brooms were so beautiful with different colors . They must have put a lot of effort on it . Those broom were made so skillful . One of the man came up and said , " alright , we get to get going . We need to go back to work . So we 'll show you the address where we live , you can ask a motorcycle driver to take you there . " The men gathered together again . They spoke to each other , and then came up to my grandma . They gave us some more of their money . They called a motorcycle driver for us . They carefully asked the motorcycle to take us to the address they gave us . My grandma and I said goodbye to them . As the motorcycle was rolling , I was already fell asleep . It was such a tiring , grateful day that I had ever experienced . I was so thankful that we met those men . Those broom men were also poor but they were willing to help other who had hard times . If there weren 't them who helped us , I wouldn 't know where we would end up . I could never forget their kindness toward us . Right now , somewhere in the world they are , I always wish them all the best of the best . Lina was always in her skimpy jean , short top , and black jacket . Her five foot seven was flawless for her outfit . Her finger nails were polished with purple color . Moreover , her big grey heavy skull ring was never off her left middle finger . She liked wearing red lipstick , and purple black eyeshadow . Beside that , Lina could never stop smoking cigarette , except when she 's off to bed . She had short , black hair which fit with her diamond face shape . Lina barely smiled , that made her become a hard person to deal with . Especially , Lina hated Christmas . When Lina thought of Christmas , she thought of loneliness . Every year when the season was coming , Lina did nothing but kept sighing . I met Lina on my first year of college in Vietnam . She was quite outstanding compared to other girls in the college . She was an eye catcher . People always talked about her when they saw her passing by . Lina ignored them even they glanced at her contemptuously . She walked slowly , smoked her cigarette , breathed the smoke to the air , her face looked to the sky . People thought that she was a weirdo , but I didn 't . She was one of my classmate in art class . Her painting was always perfect , but she never showed that she was happy with her work . Whether it was a complement or a scorn , she just smiled then walked to her seat . I didn 't have any friend in the college , so did she . There was a time we bumped against each other on the corridor when I was in a hurry because I was late for class . It was my fault for running too fast . No matter how hard I tried to apologized , Lina just ignored it and only said , " don 't worry about it " . She didn 't grimace nor did she make a pleasant face . She walked away , left me a feeling of guilty . After that I tried to talk to her whenever I saw her . I wanted to be her friend . I had a feeling that we had something in common , but Lina never gave me a chance to talk to her . I wished one day we would become best friend . I remembered exactly the first time we actually had a talk ; and that was on December 20th in 1992 . I just got out of the mall from shopping for Christmas . It was at 9 : 00pm . The street was so dark , and it was so empty since the houses around the street had already closed for the day . People usually went to sleep around that time , or they just stayed inside watching T . V . Five blocks away from the bus stop , I tried to walk as fast as I could because the street looked scary . I heard rumor saying that there were some girls got raped around this time in the city . I never believed in those things . My life had never been any better , whether it happened or not , I didn 't really care at all . I only believed when I saw with my own eyes . I heard the footstep moving toward behind me . I got a little nervous but I was too scared to look back . Again , I tried to walked as fast as I could to wherever the light was . I didn 't make a sigh to run because they would chase me after all . I could only run when there were a crowd , I thought . Suddenly , I saw a shadow was waiting ahead of me . It looked like that those bully people already had plan for their prey . I couldn 't help but keep praying that some kind of miracle would come to rescue me . As I was walking , I could imagine what would happen to me after . It was cold , but I was sweating . I saw a little fire burned up ; it was the light of a smoking cigarette . Hopelessly , I stopped for thirty second to breath . The street was so long that day . Normally , it took me only ten minutes to walk from the bus stop to the mall , but that day , it took me forever to find the place . I didn 't want them to catch up with me , so I continued to walk again . As I got closer , I saw the shape was similar to someone I knew . It was Lina standing right in the corner . I was wondering why she was there . Perhaps , she was with those bully boys . It made sense as the way she dressed just like some of them . She was still smoking her cigarette , looking to the sky , and thinking . She lowered her head to look at me as " Hey Nana , what 's up ? " she said . It was one minute silence from both of us . I was shivering because of the cold , and also those boys behind me who I never had a chance to look back . I tried to keep myself calm so I didn 't look stupid . I didn 't understand why she told me that . My eyes were wider ; I felt like there was a little hope to get away from this situation . I smiled , but wondered . I was scared when she said that . I passed by her to the bus stop . " Thank you , Lina . " I said . Even though I didn 't know what was going on , I believed in Lina . She would make it through . Especially , she had helped me to get out of the trouble . It was safe at the bus stop , but I was worried for Lina . What would happen to Lina , I wouldn 't know . At that moment , I decided to go back to see what was going on , maybe I could help her when she needed . " What the fuck ? What did you just call me ? Said it again please ! " Lina yelled . She kicked a rock to the boy 's head just right after that . Then those other boys just ran up and fought with her . It was amazing . Lina was incredible . If I didn 't come back , I wouldn 't have seen this scene , and I wouldn 't believe that Lina could fight . She looked like one of the hero in an gangster movie . Two minutes , she defeated them . " I didn 't want to but one of your guy was just bullshitting with me . Moreover , that girl is my friend , I heard what you saying to each other to do with the girl . " Lina explained . " If you want to rob someone , find some big rich guy , not a weak school girl like her you dumb ass ! " I couldn 't believe what I just heard . Lina already considered me as her friend even though she never showed it to me . She had rescued me from those robbers . I was so happy . " Even it 's annoying , I couldn 't help but keep thanking you for helping me . No one has ever helped me like you did . I appreciate that . " I spoke faithfully . She stopped laughing , " Okay , I 'll take that . You 're very welcome . " she smiled , a beautiful smile ever since I met her . " Now let 's go home or you want your parents to worry about you ? " At that moment , I felt like we actually had something in common . I could feel what she felt . I could understand what she did . We were both orphanages . She lived with her aunt , and I lived with my uncle . However , it seemed that I was more lucky than she . Her aunt was always mean to her . She started to work when she was thirteen to get what she wanted . Her aunt would never give her anything except food for lunch and dinner . She never had breakfast . Lina got used to it after all . My uncle was like a second father to me . Although I didn 't have parents , my uncle took care of my like I was his own daughter . He never got married nor did he had a girlfriend . I wanted my uncle to have a girlfriend , but he always told me that when love came it would come . He didn 't want to look for it . " I know you 're a good person Lina , it 's just you don 't show it to other . I saw you one time helping a girl outside of school from other boys too . And there was one time you helped an old lady when she got to an accident . And I saw a lot of good thing you had had done . " " Yes , that 's why I tried to talk to you , but you just ignored me . That was sad . " I made a sad face , but it looked funny . As I heard what Lina just said , I felt like I was the first person she could trust , and of course I wouldn 't turn her down . " Your secret save with me . " I told her , made a finger promise . That night we spoke a lot about each other . She told me her story . I told her my story . We started to get along so well . Lina told me she didn 't want to be any of gossiper , but we actually talked a lot on the phone . It felt like we had never had anyone to talk for so long . We talked about the world . We talked about the future . We talked about our school girls and school boys . We were inseparable . We were always together , everywhere . To Lina , Christmas was always bad timing for her ; but to me , it was the best Christmas season that I had ever had . Lina , a best friend that Santa had given to me . I promised myself that I would cure the scar that Lina had through the year . I would make her life joyful when Christmas came . And I did . We were like a family after all . Expectation ? I 'm wondering what the world would be like if there were not such a word " expectation " . I don 't like to use that word . All my life , I 've been expecting so many things to happen the way I want , but sometimes they don 't happen at all . Still , I believe , each of us deserves great expectation that will come true . I fail many times , but I 've never given up on expecting . There was one day , my very first and greatest expectation came true . As a seven year old girl , I had lost my parents . They were not dead , but they had just disappeared . I lived with my grandfather because he was the only relative that I had in the world . I was always hoping that one day my parents would show up , and we would have a happy family ever after . My grandpa knew that I was not happy , not since I knew I didn 't have parents after my first birthday . Children at my school were always making fun of me . They said I fell from the sky into my grandpa 's house . I was very sad at first , but later I was used to what they said . Somehow I felt that what other children said about might be true . I was just a child without parents , and sometimes I still wished that I had parents . My one and only expectation was one day I would see my parents , and showed those kids that I had not fallen from the sky . My grandpa always told me that my parents would come back for me one day . They missed me , but they couldn 't come home yet . I was told that story a thousand times already ; yet my parents were still somewhere around the world . I knew my grandpa just wanted me to be happy , and not worry about my parents . How could I not worry about them ? They brought me into this life , and then just left , and I didn 't even know who my parents were . I all could see were a blurry black and white colour picture of them when they got married . Even though I was disappointed about my parents , I still expected they would come back . I usually sat in front of our small house , waiting for my parents like little birds sitting in their nest waiting for their mother to feed them . I thought those birds were lucky because they knew their parents . I didn 't . I was a lots bird . Still I had never given up on my parents . Then another winter came . Like every year , the evil winter only wanted to swallow the town into its white big stomach . Everything was white ! It was the coldest winter ever ! I was sitting in front of our house like usual , listening to the wind blowing , feeling the cold of the weather . The chair was getting old . It was dented because I had sat on it since I was three . I told the chair , " poor chair , I 'll have my parents renew you when they come back . " The chair didn 't say anything ; it seemed to agree with me . It 's getting dark , I was going to get back to the house . Then , in the distance , I was two little black dots moving toward my house from far away . I was nervous ! I wasn 't sure . I was hoping that this time I was right . They were a man , and a woman . My heart started pumping so fast . It was cold , but I could feel my whole getting hot . Eventually , they got into our shelter . They were beautiful people with warm smiles , dearest looks , and their eyes were bright as they looked at me . I didn 't think of anything else to say to them , but called , " Mom , Dad ? ! ? ! " I was so overwhelmed because I knew my great expectation was finally realized . I couldn 't hold them any tighter . At the moment , I just wanted to stay inside both of them , and never let them go again . Lili 's boyfriend was a handsome guy . He had a short light brown hair and sad green eyes . They were not really sad eyes , but they looked so soulful . When you look into his eyes , you would think that he maybe thinking about something from far away . It would make you curious to get to know him . His nose was so straight which matched with his thin pink lip and perfect white teeth and his oval face . His height was just average compares to other Caucasian guy , but his 5 ' 8 foot tall was perfect for Lili . That guy was just a flawless boyfriend that every girl wishes for . However , Lili never got enough of him . Every time I saw her , she always complained about her boyfriend . She got jealous so easily . She didn 't like her boyfriend talking to other girls . He could not give a drive to any girl . Lili 's mind was full of jealousy , and she always suspected her boyfriend . Every time she texted , or called him , if he replied late , her temperature actually went up after . She loved him so much that she couldn 't trust anyone , nor her boyfriend . She was just so afraid to lose him . Even though they spent most of the time together , except when they were at work , she still thought that he might cheat on her at his work . Still , she never found anything about him cheating on her . He came home on time from work . He didn 't talk on phone for so long , or tried to hide or go away when he was talking . It was on November 14th 1987 , the snowiest day of the year , and it was weird because on November it didn 't really snow at all ; the weather was so bad , but Lili decided to come home early so that she could make dinner for her and her boyfriend to celebrate their 3rd year together since the day they met . At first she wanted to give him a surprise when he came home , but then she decided to go to his work place and wait for him to go shopping with her . She didn 't call him . She sat at the waiting room on the corner across his office . She could see his moving shape . He was talking on the phone , laughing . She asked herself what was so funny about the conversation . She smiled , and couldn 't wait for him to finish . Half an hour more then she could see him . She looked around the room , everyone was so busy to notice her . Then she saw a lady , tall , blond , sexy , walking on her pair of elegant high heal toward her boyfriend 's office . That lady had a great smile . She was friendly to everyone around . Lili 's heart started to pumping so fast , but Lili didn 't want to think it the negative way . She talked to herself that maybe that lady was just his co - worker , or his secretary who needed some information or gave information for her boyfriend . The lady opened the door , smiled brightly as Lili could see the shape . Her boyfriend too , smiled back at her , and they were talking about something funny . Lili started to worry , or felt jealous , she wasn 't sure ; all she wanted to do now was went straight to her boyfriend 's office , and showed that lady that she was his girlfriend , but she didn 't . She tried to stay calm to see what would happen . She watched their funny talking scene , and hoped that they would kiss so that she could just go straight to his room and slapped him and her in the face . After awhile , she could see clearly , her boyfriend was looking at his watch , then the lady left the office . She was now really calm down because nothing happened . She smiled again . She knew her boyfriend was going to come out as his timeShe called him , and pretended she was still at work . " Hi baby , you finish your work yet ? " Her adrenaline started to raise . She saw that pretty lady coming toward her boyfriend . She thought again , maybe they would go dinner together , and her boyfriend was really cheating on her . She got so mad , still she couldn 't do anything . She let him go without saying anything . She wanted to follow them to see where they would be , but she couldn 't because she left her car at home . She took the bus to go to see him with hoping that later they would go shopping together , but now it ended up like this . " Okay baby , have fun with your co - worker , I 'll see you later then , love you . " she said calmly and kissed him on the phone even though she was so pissed off . She would wait to see tonight how he would react , then it might be the end of their relationship , she thought . She left before he came out . She went home , felt empty inside . What had made she worried finally come . She wanted to cry so bad , but the tear wouldn 't come out . She didn 't know if it was too hurt to cry or what . She felt her heartache . She dropped her bag on the floor , took off her shoes , and went straight to their bedroom . She looked around . There were so many memories in this room . She didn 't want to lose it within a day like this . She thought again , maybe he had already cheated on her for a long time , but she was just blinded to see because he was so perfect . Even though she got jealous often , but it was just a thought that she tried to show him that she noticed everything about him , she never expected her boyfriend would cheat on her . She was hungry , but she didn 't want to eat now . She laid on her bed , closed her eyes , and kept thinking about their happiness when they were together . She couldn 't believe it herself . She started to think about him coming home late as he told her because of work . She had already suspected about that , but she couldn 't find any evidence of him cheating . Even sometimes she stole his phone when he was in the bathroom , and looked at his texts or phone calls , she couldn 't find anything . He often said that she was just over jealous . She felt asleep without noticing her tear was coming from her eyes through her sleep . She woke up tiredly . Her hair was like spaghetti , her mascara was felt off ' cause of her tear . She looked at herself in the mirror , felt awfully , but she didn 't care about her look anymore . She looked at her watch , it showed 7pm . Of course he wouldn 't be home until 9 or 10 , she said to herself . She decided to find something to eat in the kitchen , instant pasta would make her stomach full , she thought . The house was so dark now . It felt so depressing just like her . She turned on the living - room light which led through the kitchen . She couldn 't believe in her eyes … Her boyfriend was sitting at the sofa smiling at her . She was confused and mad . " Her birthday ? Are you serious ? The whole company and she only invited you for dinner ? Do you think there is something wrong with her ? " Lili 's blood pressure started to ache her heart . She continues , " and her birthday is more important than … , " Lili stopped , she didn 't want to say it anymore . She was upset . She was shocked . He remembered that . Her eyes was opened wide now . Her boyfriend stood there , in front of her laughing out loud . She couldn 't speak at the moment . " What the heck , you remember our anniversary , but you went to dinner with that chick ? " she was still mad because he left her alone at home . " Whatever , forget it . You are pissing me off . You knew it 's our anniversary but you didn 't give a damn about it . You 'd rather to go out with some random chick than me . You didn 't know I was there waiting for you with hoping that we would go shopping together , and then what ? You … you … you . " She couldn 't talk anymore . He gently kissed her lips . " I know everything . I saw you sitting at the corner , looking at me . I knew you were standing in the front of the company through the window , but I just pretended I didn 't see you . " he looked at her , kissed her forehead . " I knew you were pissed off that 's why the house was so dark when I came home . " he laughed . " No I 'm not anymore ! I don 't feel like eating . You 're confusing me . " she was disappointed , she was thinking maybe he bought her something nice for the anniversary It was good as she was so hungry , she ate it so fast . " Owt . " she moaned . Something hard just hit her teeth , she took it out . She couldn 't believe in her eyes , it was a diamond ring . Now she knew what was going on . Her boyfriend came out of the bathroom with his dozen of red rose , smiling . She chased him around the room for making her nervous . They ended up cuddling together in the bedroom , watching their favourite movie . Lili knew that she was a little childish for thinking too much about the jealousy , but it was just because she loved him so much that she could not afford to lose him .
