City B.
The mid-summer is hot with all the flowers blooming. The sun is high as the church bell ranging.
Yi Ping stood at the grass field surrounding flowers. All the decorate are gorgeous with the arrange of flowers include chairs and table. She watching the happy married couple stood at the small stage talking.
The groom wore a luxury black suite and his handsome smile face. The bride who wore a ballgown wedding dress and holding a bouquet of white flowers.
Both are pretty and match each other as if they are made for each other.
" Pingping?"
Yi Ping's thoughts got interrupt by her friend.
" Huh?"
" Don't always glanced at the couple too much or you will lose your appetite for dessert."
Yi Ping: "Pfft."
" Okay. Why are you talking about dessert right now? Are you on diet?"
" Hm! Who care! I will eat today and be on diet tomorrow."
" Li Hua, how did I not know that you are not taking your diet serious now?"
Li Hua: " Hm! Who know?!"
Li Hua grabs a plate of some dessert and start eating.
Yi Ping: " Are you in the cycle?"
Li Hua: "..."
Li Hua shoves a spoonful of cake into Yi Ping's mouth.
" Stop talking and eat the cake."
Yi Ping sighs as she ate the cake and taste the delicious cake and sweet. She took a different dessert and tried on.
Li Hua: " Are you okay?"
Yi Ping paused her hand then continue eating and finish off with a sweet alcohol. She glanced at the couple that ready to toss the pretty bouquet of flowers.
Yi Ping: " I do feel sad but I'm also happy that he marries the love of his life so it less bitters for me. I only wish for them to be happy forever."
Li Hua: " I don't know how you can stand here watching the person you love marry someone else."
Yi Ping smile.
" Maybe I wasn't obsessive with him or it only one side love." And he didn't know.
Yi Ping added the last sentence quietly.
Li Hua felt sad and bad for her best friend but what can they do when the guy already married someone else.
Li Hua: " You wait here for me. I need to use the restroom. I will come back, and we will go back together."
Yi Ping: " Okay."
Yi Ping eating the dessert as she waited for Li Hua to return but it someone came to her side.
" Pingping. Thank you for coming to my wedding."
Yi Ping: " Smile. Thank you for inviting me to your wedding too. Also, congratulation. What is your plan after the wedding?"
" Sighs. We plan to go aboard as I need to finish my studies. Also, she pregnant too."
Yi Ping was a little shock that the bride is pregnant.
'Maybe that why they in hurried to get marry.'
Yi Ping: " Well, brother Chen will for sure get success in the future. Don't worry, everything will be alright."
Li Chen smile warmth as he doesn't know if he sure be happy or sad at the moment. The flutter feeling he felt in his heart are weird. The more he saw Yi Ping who wore a light blue sleeveless asymmetrical V neck dress. He felt at loss of what to say.
Yi Ping saw Li Chen's expression is weird.
" Are you okay?"
Li Chen: " I..I'm okay. Maybe, I was tired for the whole day and need a rest."
Yi Ping smile.
" Then you should get a rest. I'm going back now."
Yi Ping left without waiting for Li Chen respond.
She was still flutter that her first love marries someone else, and the pain is still sting so she better go before she cries on the spot.
She didn't watch out and knock on a hard chest with her plate of dessert.
"Oh my god. Are you okay?"
Yi Ping look at the man and stunned at how handsome he is like a model in TV magazine.
" I'm sorry. I didn't look and knock on you."
Yi Ping throws away her dessert and tries to remove the dessert stain from the suit and somehow the sweet cream on her hand flew over to the man face. It got on his lip.
Yi Ping didn't know what to do at the moment. It too awkward and embarrassing. She wishes there a hole for her to crawl into now.
" Sorry, I didn't mean it."
The man didn't speak and stared at Yi Ping quietly as he want to see what she is going to do.
Yi Ping took out her handkerchief from her evening bag and wipe the cream from the man's mouth.
The man raised his hand to held on handkerchief and wipe his mouth. Yi Ping let go as she thought he might not like people to touch him, so she let him wipe and heard Li Hua calling her behind.
" Sorry, I didn't mean to knock on you. I'm really sorry."
Yi Ping apologizes again and left to find Li Hua.
" Young Master, are you okay?"
Qi Yang wipe his mouth with the handkerchief that left behind by Yi Ping and glanced at his assistant.
" I'm fine."
Qi Yang walked out of the wedding venue and entered his black car and drove out of the blooming street.
If not for his nagging mother, he would not come to attend some unknow people, but he did see something interesting.
He smiles as his hand touch the soften fabric of the handkerchief.
The flower blossoming and flew everywhere as the car drove by.

Three years passed by.
City B.
The weather is cold with snow falling as the new year are approaching.
The lights in the street are lit up everywhere. People come and go in the busy streets.
Yi Ping glanced at the big Christmas tree at the center of the boardwalk.
It been two years, the young woman of twenty-years old is different from the young woman who is twenty-three years old now.
She more matures with her appearance are sharp and outline her beauty more. She wore a beige turtleneck shirt inside with a long winter coat and black jean. She also wore a white hat with red scarf.
It been really long time that she has not come back to visit her parent and the city again.
Now is already winter and some place still the same and some are already change it.
Yi Ping gazed at the gift box under the Christmas tree as her thoughts recalled the young innocent memory of herself.
At that time, she so excited about wrapped the gift to him but didn't know that one side love is never meant to be.
She saw how he confesses his love to the girl that he loves and kiss the girl gentled on the lips in front of the big Christmas tree with all the pretty lights.
At the same time, she felt her the pain and jealous that the lucky girl is not her but someone else. But as time goes by, that love is heal by the time as she got busy with her job.
That feeling she kept for four years now are healing with time and it good that she didn't persistent.
Some love is not good to persistent or obsessive or you will turn into a person that is not you anymore.
The jingle bell rang and interrupt Yi Ping's thoughts.
She left the place and went to buy some gift and food. Her parent still waiting for her.
Yi Ping carried some gift bag and her phone ranging as she walked toward her car.
" Hello. A'Hua? Do you need something?"
Li Hua: " No, I'm just calling if you want to come early for the class reunion in the capital?"
Yi Ping: " I didn't know there was a class reunion. I don't really want to go. You know, we have a lot of work need to be done."
Li Hua: " Yes, CEO. We have a lot of works but I want you to go relax your mind and brain too. So go with me please?"
Yi Ping: " Hm...okay. Let's go. Let see why you want to go."
Li Hua: "Kiss! Thank you love!"
Yi Ping ends the called after laughing at her best friend mischievous.
