Ming's words are still ringing Tina's ears like jingle bells in Christmas. She is still in Ming's embrace trying to grasp her emotions. Her eyes was open wide staring at the sky which currently filled with countless stars.
'Is this a proposal?
Ming's heartbeat slowly calming but at the same time Tina's heart beat increasing. She can feel Ming's calm but loud heartbeat through his chest.
"Ming I..." Just as she could say further, Ming's manly voice interrupted her in the middle and said in a serious yet sad voice, "No!"
Ming's brows were frowned upward making sad expression, "Don't answer me now, think about it and give me an answer! Okay?"
In his heart, he was afraid that she might reject him and after this they will no longer be usual friends if Tina reject him, so he didn't instantly asked her reply instead told her to think about it then answer.
Tina knew about Ming's inner thought but she also felt relief on his immidate reaction. She was still confused about her love triangle so if she had to give him immidate reply then perhaps she would say something in a hurry that made Ming sad.
A few days later :-
Tina got off from her office and was walking on the streets heading towards her home.
A gloomy expression was on her beautiful face. He did not understand what to do. There was a strange emptiness in her heart, was a lot of tension in her head and because of Ming's proposal, Tina became more and more confused.
Ming proposed to him her night, so he should be happy but she was having mixed feelings for this.
She is deeply stuck in this love triangle, her heart say to go after Jim but her head says to get married with Paiming and now she can't make heads or tails of this love triangle.
She lost the thread of Paiming's love and seemed to have accidentally caught the thread of Jim's love.
Suddenly she yelled from all this confusion, "Ah....!"
"What should I do?!"
"Tina?" attracted by Tina's voice, a familiar person called her in a familiar tone.
A manly figure appeared behind Tina, "Tina, what's the matter?"
On that man's voice, Tina's heart skipped a bit she shook her head and her mouth was immediately shut like she was caught red handed.
She slowly turned around with a startled look and little shaking, when her gaze fell on Jim's face, her face became blank, like she saw some kind of ghost calling her.
Just a mere second later, she yelled and backed off a few steps, she was at loss for words because she is thinking that Jim might heard her yelling like mental.
Tina's behavior was natural, when someone suddenly calls anyone from behind on a empty street, that person will absolutely be scared.
"What... what are you doing here?"
Her heart is still beating rapidly from Jim'simpact.
"Are you a ghost?" coming into her senses, she yelled at him in rage and embarrassment.
"Wait!" Jim immediately caught her hand before she could run far from him. He came closer to her and said in a downhearted tone with rather sad expression, "I missed you, so I came to see you!"
Tina was at the lose of words, the words won't coming out from her mouth, She clearly understand the sorrow in Jim's voice but can't comfort him.
Because if she pass him even a little finger to get out from the pit of sadness, he will gonna catch her whole hand. So it's better for her to stay away from Jim.
"Let me go."
Her cold tone pierced through Jim's heart like an arrow leaving him in disdain and he let go of her hand.
"I think it was made clear last time that you had false feeling about me." Somewhere deep in her heart she knows the feelings which he had for her are not false and she also have feelings for Jim but still she can't agree to him.
"Hasn't you figured it out yet? And.." She paused for a moment before saying further, "I'm now Paiming's girlfriend, please don't pester me anymore," Tina said all these but still didn't heard a single word from Jim.
"So what?" She slowly turned to face him and got shocked to see Jim's face.
His face was little bit red and was tears in his eyes.
"I like you, it has nothing to do with others." He put his hand against his chest, "Even if you have a boyfriend, even if you.... don't like me, I still like you."
She was certain he was being truthful with her. There was love, care and adoreness in his voice, she could understand that even if the whole world become her enemy he would still never let go her hand.
His warmness made her heart warm. His love was true. But suddenly Paiming's thought came in her mind and the warmness in her heart disappeared, "..I don't care!"
"Whatever, I'm going to dinner, bye!" She knew that if she stayed here even for a second, she would not be able to resist Jim's love, which would be unfair with the pamming. That's she immediately left.
But after walking a few dozen steps, she heard footsteps and peaked from the corner of her eyes.
Jim is still following her, so she started to walk faster but Jim is as stubborn as a kid so he also walked faster.
Annoyed by his constant following, her volcano of anger blasted on him, "Don't follow me!"
She yelled at the top of her lungs, "Don't you know you are a celebrity? I don't want any attention!"
He made a puppy and innocent face, "Then I'll change clothes."
He grabbed her soft hands and dragged her like a small kid to the cloth shop near the street.
A few minutes later....
The crowd of women and some men surrounded the entrance of that cloth shop making Tina unable to go near the shop.
"Look that guy is handsome!" One of the women said to his friend with excitement.
"Is he a celebrity?" The other girl asked.
Jim was stood at the entrance wearing a green jacket with a purple cap. His model like body and celebrity type face made the appearance of that cheap Jacket and cap worth millions, "Tina!"
One hearing her name she somehow made her way to the shop through the crowd.
She was amazed at Jim's handsome appearance.
