Preview of last chapter: Man about to reveal the author of the second part to the novel....


Chapter 29

IN THE BOOK STORE....[Man is about to turn the book around to find out the author but surprisingly, her name is called out as someone ran in. It was May. All Man's attention is all given to May now, while she unknowingly put down the book and ran to meet May.]
May [fretfully]: Man, Man. Something happened to Sum Oiy. I just got the call from Fei.

Man: What, what happened to Sum Oiy?

May: I don't know the exact details. [Both walking out of the store.] Fei sounds so worried and troubled. He doesn't know what to do. [Hops in to the car and slams the door shut. Starts to drive off.]

Man: We didn't leave Sum Oiy there for that long, what could have happened?

May[shakes her head]: No idea. But I could hear Sum Oiy crying so loud thru the phone.

Man: I know it isn't right to think this way but could it be....

May: You mean Chin Chin? [Man nodds her head.] That thought came up to my mind too. It better not be.

Man: I hope not. But it can't possibly be Fei. He has been eagerly waiting for this day, he wouldn't do anything to ruin it.

May: And I believe he loves Sum Oiy alot.

Man: Let's not assume anything that isn't a known fact yet.

May: But my six sense has already given me an prediction. If it really is her, she is so dead. I'm not going to let her go because of Fei.


IN FEI'S APT.....[Sum Oiy is as loud as a band. Fei is totally lost in control of her. Sum Oiy is crying everywhere. Chin Chin followed behind Fei's steps, trying to imperturbable Sum Oiy's activeness. She gives no sign of wanting to stop. Fei does not know what cause her to react like this.]
Fei [pleading voice, going after her every move.]: Sum Oiy, Sum Oiy. Listen to daddy. Tell me what happened. Please stop crying. [Sum Oiy's cries began to slow down.]

Chin Chin: Sum Oiy, don't cry. Why don't you tell Auntie Chin Chin, what's bothering you?! [Sum Oiy starts all over again and sobbed even harder after she hears Chin Chin speaks.]

Fei: Chin Chin, go away first. She might not want to see you. Go, leave her with me. [Chin Chin angrily heads the other direction. In the middle, the door bell rings.] Chin Chin, wait get the door first. [She opens the door. Man and May rushed in. May gave Chin Chin a long stare along the way.]

Man and May: Sum Oiy! Sum Oiy? [Saw her]

Man: What happened? What are you doing? [Sum Oiy quickly ran over and grabed Man's leg tightly. Clinked to her like super glue. Still making the loudest cries ever.]

May: Why is she like this? [Turns to Chin Chin]

Fei: No, I doubt it's Chin Chin fault.

May: Oh, stop protecting her.

Man: Forget about that now.

Sum Oiy: Auntie May, Auntie Man, I want to go home. I don't want to stay here.

Man: Oh, ok. Sum Oiy, don't cry anymore. [Man kneed down, took out a tissue and wiped her tears away. She got back up. Then May lifted her up and began to leave.]

May: I don't know what happened here but I will find out. [To Sum Oiy] Ok, we will bring you home now. [Fei restrained May from leaving.]

Fei: Wait, I, atleast should know what happened. I'm sorry Sum Oiy, I don't know what happened. I tried my best to show you that I can be a great father. [Sadly tilted his head down.]

Sum Oiy[pouted]: Daddy, I don't want to be here. I am not mad at you. [paused a while and the points to the cake.] But I want the cake you bought me. [smiles]

Fei [happily shows a smile]: Ok, you got it. [Quickly rushed over to get the cake. He hands it to Man.]

Sum Oiy: Daddy, can you come over next time?

Fei: Yes, I will, I will.

Sum Oiy: But I only want to see you. [Fei nodded his head. They left.]


AT QUIN'S APT.....
May [wipes Sum Oiy's mess up after she just finished eating the cake.]: Ok ok, are you full yet?

Sum Oiy[swallows completely]: Yes, I'm finish. It's very good.

May[cleaning the mess on the table]: Now, can you tell Auntie May what happened before?

Sum Oiy: Do I have to? [May nodds her head] I didn't want to stay there. I didn't want to stay with Auntie Chin Chin.

May: Ah ha, I knew it. Just what I thought. [Man comes out of the room.]

Man: Knew what? What?

May: It's really Chin Chin.

Sum Oiy[jumps in]: She's mean, I don't like her.

Man: Did Auntie Chin Chin do anything to you? Like try to touch you in a way that hurts?

Sum Oiy[shakes her head]: But she told me that mommy isn't going to wake up. I got mad, so I began crying.

May: What? Doesn't she know that she should watch what comes out of her mouth? Just one word can affect the child.

Man: I guess forget about it. It's not like she didn't try to hurt Sum Oiy or anything like that.

May: But...

Man: Just let it go. [All heads to the living room.] May, can you bring Sum Oiy to school tomorrow?

May: Sure. So, it means you won't be leaving with us tomorrow?

Man: Yeah, counting after tomorrow, it's Tong Sum's 4th year of her death.

May: Tong Sum? Oh, I remember. Almost forgot that she is your best friend. I heard alittle bit from Chi San, alittle bit from Quin.

Man: Yes, she will always be my best friend.


NEXT DAY, AT THE CEMETERY.....
[Chi San approaches Tong Sum's tombstone with his flowers. Surprisingly,
there is another person already there. It is June. Chi San felt alittle unexpected.]
Chi San: Dr. Lum? You know Tong Sum? 你色唐心﹖ [He put down the flowers.
Took out his recorder, land it aside the tombstone and was about to play
it.]

June: Why act so surprised? I think I know Tong Sum even longer than you
have known her.

Chi San: Really? 真係﹖

June: Yes, I'm just really sorry that I couldn't make it to her funeral.
[looked the other way] We were very close friends. 她同我的關係好好。


Chi San: It's ok. I know Tong Sum wouldn't mind, as long as you have the
heart, it will count for alot. 你方心。 我知唐心知道你有心。

June: Thanks. 多謝你的安慰。

Chi San: Why don't we leave now, it's getting alittle windy.

June: Sure.

[They both walked there way out. Man comes around the corner, seeing Chi
San with another woman. She felt alittle uncomforable and stranged.]
Man [walking]: Why would Chi San bring another woman to see Tong Sum?
[She soon left that thought. She then saw 2 different bunch flowers while she put
down hers.] So they came seperately? Okay. [She stood there are began to
talk to Tong Sum...] Tong Sum, I'm now very calm and stable. Not much ups
and downs. The only thing that is still bothering me is Quin's condition.
I know you will give her your blessing. Life seems to be flashing quickly before
my eyes as I grow older and older. I'm sorry, everytime I visit you, this
is all I fuss about to you. I know you are very understanding. [She continued
talking...]


AT WHERE CHI SAN PARKED HIS CAR....
Chi San: Do you want a lift?

June: No, it's ok. I drove too. [Chi San just realized something.]

Chi San: Oh no, I left something.

June: Oh, your recorder.

Chi San: I'll have to go get it, see you next time. Bye. [June waved back as
she got into her car. Chi San quickly ran back to look for the recorder.
As he got down to Tong Sum's grave aisle, she noticed Ah Man. Ah Man heard
fast footsteps with caught her attention. She turns around.]
Man: Chi San?

Chi San: Ah Man?

Man: Why did you come back? [Looked down.] Oh, for this [picks up the
recorder.]

Chi San: I knew you would have come too. And I thought I'll miss you.
[Man hands him back the recorder.]

Man [face Tong Sum]: Of course I will come. Every year I will remember this
day. The day Tong Sum spare her life for mine. I will always remember.

Chi San: Tong Sum will be very happy about this.

Man: But every year of this day, it will always make me remember, remember what
happened, what Tong Sum did for me. I start to hate myself again.

Chi San: Don't be like this. It's really not your fault, it's an accident. [took Man's arms and held her body to face him.] I don't want to have to tell you this every year in the future. [Both of their eyes suddenly met each other again. This feeling, this feeling is so famliar. Their eye contact became stronger and stronger. Ah Man conscious told her
that this can never happen again. She quickly broke the force. They both felt alittle embarrassed.]

Man: I'll be ok. I'll leave first.

Chi San: Let me drive you.

Man: No, it's ok. I'll be fine taking the taxi. [Quickly walk her way
out. Chi San watched till she disappears. He began to face Tong Sum.]

Chi San: I don't know what just happen. I know that feeling. It's coming
back. Actually it has never left me. It has been always there. What do
I do?............

[Miles away from Tong Sum's grave, behind a tall tree, a pair of eyes are
focusing on Chi San....]


A FEW DAYS LATER....HOSPITAL, IN QUIN'S ROOM....[Fei is sitting aside her...while
Quin is still breathing with the oxygen mask...]
Fei: So, how are you doing today? The doctor told me that within these few days, they can take the oxygen mask off. That means you are getting closer, closer to us again. [holds Quin's hand] Kwan, like I promised you, I did what you want most. I have succeeded. Sum Oiy is very good knowing that you are sick. She has really accepted me now. She even called me 爸爸(dad) unforcefully. I practically melted in front of her. We have a very very good daughter you know. Now Sum Oiy and my problems are solved, it's only you. We are missing your piece in the picture. You have to do my wish also. I know you can hear me and I know there is hope. I believe you will awake soon. All your worries are gone, Sum Oiy is in good care, it's only you. [Signs, got up and started to leave.]


MINUTES LATER.....[An unknown person opens the door. As this person approaches, this person gave a long stare at Quin. This person walked up to Quin slowly, step by step.]
The person: I'm sorry, I don't want to. You simply know too much. [This person suddenly, with a forceful pull, unpluged the oxygen tanks circulation to the mask. It quickly reacted on Quin. She seems to be choking and breathing hard. This person quickly ran out of site.....]


*****What is going on? Who is trying to kill Quin? Why? Will this incident lead Quin closer to her death? Is Sum Oiy lying or is it the truth about what she says? Who is after CHi SAn now? Will Chi San and Man recover their long gone relationship? Is knowing who made the continuation of Tong Sum's book going to be important? To be continued.....
