He believed he would die today, but as he opened he saw someone coming to help him. It was Ava. She stretched out her hands for him. He also stretched out his hand, Ava held him and pushed him up a little at them and fixed his oxygen support back.
As she looked down at the hands she was using to hold Daniel, she saw her clock stop. She was shocked and surprised that she didn't concentrate any longer. She cleaned the hands again to make sure if it was really true, and because she didn't concentrate again, something that was passing by hit her and the hands they were holding together got separated.
Thank God the other crew members also dived in whenever Ava left. They were able to rescue both of them.
Five hours later, Ava woke up with her head banging. She sat up and said "what a dream", the time! She checked it again. It was normal, her life clock was still ticking, or it was showing clearly.
Because in her dream she saw her grandmother and her clock was not showing again on her wrist, she was very happy when she saw her grandmother on her. She shouted" grandma! Really is that you? "Yes my sweetheart", how are you doing? Ava ran and embraced her.
They shared for a very long time in the dream before Ava broke the hug. I have missed you so much. Did you not miss me? I have been watching you every day from above, her grandma replied and pointed to the sky. Ava also looked up to where her grandmother pointed.
Grandma, "I don't want to go up there yet", I "don't want to be a star yet". I want to be happier, I want to live life...to the fullest, I don't want to die yet.
The next person's voice she heard was Daniel. "Why would you die?" She looked in the direction of the voice, and it was Daniel smiling at her and immediately, her time appeared again on her wrist and then the time fell off and turned to a rose.
She bent to pick it up, but Daniel was the first to pick it up, "that's my time". Is that so? Then he raised it up, and she struggled with Daniel to get it, but Daniel said "I don't want you to die and become a star", "stay alive and become mine", Ava. Before she could answer, that was when she woke up.
"Don't be ridiculous Ava" she said to herself and shuckled...
Ava was about to leave bed when her clock stopped again. Her eyes were wide open with her mouth open too. She checked the door of the room and there was Daniel opening the door to come in. She checked her time again. It wasn't moving. It was still 100 days, 2 hours, 1 minute and 59 seconds.
Ava could not believe her eyes. Am I still sleeping? Is this another dream, she asked herself? She looked at Daniel intensively. The time had... stopped.
Daniel came into the room fully. Why would you risk your life to save someone else's? It makes me uncomfortable. Are you all right? It's just a bruise, you will have some pain, though, he said, as Ava was so concentrating on her wrist.
It stopped, Ava said, and Daniel replied," I'm glad it stopped, we can talk about the reward for saving my life later, but I will forget about what you owe me and call it even. He shrugged, but Ava did not even hear what he was saying.
Was it a dream? She said, everyone's waiting outside, they dove into the water to save you, I'm impressed by your friendship... He didn't complete his sentence when Ava held his hand and started searching.
What are you doing? No. I'm sure it was a dream, I was drowning, no way. Did I die? He asked Daniel. No, why did the time stop? She stood up and rushed outside, checking around if she was Death or not. Daniel was just following her from behind.
Are you not feeling well? "You were with me in the water", Daniel nodded his head. You...who are you? Do you not remember who I am? Is it like amnesia? My time has really stopped, your time has stopped? Daniel question.
Ava nodded her head, replying and cried at the same time. Daniel was a little worried because of the way she was acting. I know one or two things about mental care. Don't worry too much, it might be a temporary symptom brought on by shock...it is not temporary. I think it has something to do with you.
Jude came in oh, she woke up. She was up. Daniel held Jude and whispered in his ear. He went to call Kelvin and have him check her condition again, to check if she hurt her head. Ava smiled and looked at them. They also smiled at her too.
Daniel touched her and left. Jude asked Ava," Are you feeling better?" Wait! Ava shouted at Daniel because when he moved away her time ticked off again. Hang on. For now, we should... Wait! Ava pushed Jude aside as he tried to hold her and ran to follow Daniel....
You like Director Charles's music, right? I watched "Midsummer Night Dream" on Broadway. I was impressed by director Charles's music, Qiang replied Daniel.
Okay then, we will start our project by bringing in director Charles. Director Charles is just a musical director. Don't tell me you have come all the way here to do some musical with us. Of course not, Daniel said, smiling a little.
At the beginning, Mk will provide know-how for quality work and value-added business and Melvin enterprises will support the necessary capital. Starting with the show business, we will construct theaters that will play our content in each province of China.
And hotels, malls, and resort complexes, for those who visit our theaters. We'd like to push forward the business with Melvin enterprises. Daniel shines more light on the business in hand. I'm impressed, said Qiang.
Your plans sound quite tempting, but the problem is that your company is not a big company, it's just... a small cultural company. How am I supposed to trust you?
That was where Alana said something, "you should trust him", because he is engaged to the only daughter of MJBC, which is me. Aright Qiang said, "I will look favorably on the proposal".
Daniel breathed, he didn't know he was holding his breath all this while. The proposal was accepted. Wow!
I assured him that I would bring him in. We can't have a problem. Check how things were going with Director Charles. As we went back, he said to Jude, Yes, Sir.
What are you going to do for me for the perfect assistant? Alana smirked at Daniel. I will give you credit for that, so tell me anything you want. Well...what about cranes? Cranes? Alana nod her head smiling.
You mean the bird that stands on one leg? Daniel asked, trying to understand what she meant. Daniel shouted, Kelvin! Can I buy cranes? Because they were sitting some meters away from each other by the swimming pool.
I'm not sure, not a living one. I want you to make me a thousand origami cranes yourself, Alana added. It would be better if you wrote your wishes to them. What are you talking about? Jude would see if I could buy cranes and get back to me.
It would be easier to buy living cranes, Daniel pleaded with Alana. A thousand living cranes are better value for money. It's not like I can't afford to buy cranes, it's only meaningful when you make something yourself. It's not a joke.
I won't support you if you make me a thousand origami cranes. You are so peculiar," Daniel said ...
