Uncle Tian was fine
with him doing this; he had discovered him checking on Na Na constantly in the
night time. Breathing in deeply, he knew she wanted to conceal the surgery and
her health. In respect to her wishes and his Uncle Promise to her, he couldn’t
let her know that he knew. In his room he pull out a note book inside was
filled with a list of wishes that he copied from a book he discover from Na
Na’s room.
A
month after her surgery would be her birthday. A rainy season day in Taiwan by
what he could tell and he knows she want to spend time with him. Have a regular
date when she can stretch her arms outward. He wanted to see her smile without
fear or regret.
Qing
Yang would take each moment with her and date her then engage her. Zi Feng
already was way ahead at a pace of astonishing rate, the man was scared that Ya
Nuo would disappear on him. He didn’t realize that moment for Zi Feng was eye
opening and he now was in the same position. The woman he loves, the child that
call him her little sun was the moon to his light.
Gravitating
slowly toward one another in the sky back and forth flirting and having fun
with one another, she was a breath of fresh air in his stifled world. He
wouldn’t lose her; the surgery will have to be a success. This time they can
help support her surgery and help obtain the best care.
It
would be greedy of him, but he wanted to see her filled with his love
reflecting his happiness back whilst supporting life in her womb. Even if she
did not, he wanted her to love him and vice versa. He may not know where his
parents are, but he wouldn’t let her go.
The
morning came quickly, he gotten ready and went to check up on her. She was
already dressed in her normal clothes; he would have to treat her to better
clothes later on. Her eyes gleam with happiness as she said she would be
heading out. The simple bunny that she name Guo Lai was with them now. He had
purchase the small little white with orange fur after looking through multiple
bunnies.
A
cute one that she seems pleased with and happy with that she hugs him tightly.
Her arms felt good around him and he wanted more, but he would have to
self-control himself. When she was better and healthier he would move fast at a
pace that won’t scare her. Watching her comeback was a relief she hurried over
to the cage he left near him as she pull out her bunny girl and started to call
herself Mama and him daddy. He felt it amusing the playing house, but Zi Feng's
own Ya Nuo did the same. Perhaps it was a girl thing?
Qing
Yang could feel her eyes on his back as he made the coffee. The information he
was gaining on the cuff link was already in process, he sent out men to gather
information for him. As well he started to look at brochures of places that he
might consider showing Na Na when she got better. In an article there were
talks about Glowworm caves in New Zealand’s Waitomo Caves. It look like shower
of stars falling down though he wasn’t comfortable of traipsing through the depths
and avoiding eels in a cavern. He figure he could use a projector of some sort
in a theater to display the video making it look like she was able to see these
wonderful sights.
A
picnic in a theater of a projector though it wouldn’t be as complex as the
International Rain Room exhibit at MoMa at London that was created by the
creators project that allow people to walk in a room without getting wet.
Though
it would be funny since Taiwan had plenty of rain storms but he didn’t want her
to get sick so easily. A place that she can remain dry and happy to view the
world that he couldn’t take her too since it was dangerous. Museums, amusement
parks, and safer locations would be idea for now until she becomes adapted to
everything.
Food
of any type would be great to introduce her too. Perhaps Korea was a nice place
to try for, since it was close by including Japan. He wanted to see Na Na in a
Japanese kimono, he wanted to see her try new things and give him a glow of
happiness.
Qing
Yang didn’t want her to be sad anymore.
Today he would do
what Na Na had been teaching him since the very first day he had met her. He
had purchased a surprise for her, a sky lantern to let her make her wishes. Na
Na always seems happy with anything that flies around, balloons, kites,
airplanes, and now a sky lantern.
He
would every year do these little things for her. He planned to use butterflies
one day but for now a lantern with their wishes was the best. Watching Na Na
praying heavily, he prayed for her surgery to be a success, if he couldn’t keep
anyone else he would want her beside him. To him she was his future happiness.
Children,
family life, never to be alone, he would be gambling everything in hopes she
gets better and stays with him. Her lips pressing against him during these last
few days were a blessing and her naughty light brighten his day.
The
night passed away quickly and tomorrow came in brightness of morning light. The
suitcase she had was going with her in the ruse of her fake trip, but for Qing
Yang he couldn’t bear to let her go without trying to give her more hope to
live.
The
kiss he pressed against her forehead would be the first step, “I will be here
waiting for you to come back.” He murmurs as he held her tightly. Comforting
her and granting her strength, he knew her fear he could feel her heart
thumping and the trembling. This is what he could do for her.
‘Fight
well, and come back to me.’ Qing Yang thought, ‘Be strong.’ He watches his
Uncle leave with her and he sat down staring at the wall.
A
ping alerted him to his phone.
Yang Na Na: Take
care of yourself and our daughter. I Love you.
|
Qing
Yang smiled at the message and took a breath in. She didn’t know he would be
there too. Glancing at his cellphone he noted the text message from Pi Ya
Nuo.
Pi Ya Nuo: I
will be joining you for her surgery as support for Uncle Tian. I will see you
there.
|
Zi
Feng really did find a great woman. She was caring for the family, which says a
lot compare to other people he had seen. His brother in arms really did need to
keep this one close by and he knew he was too.
Arriving
at the hospital he watches from the shadow with Ya Nuo at the way Na Na deals
with Xing Tian. His lips turn downward and he could recall all of the things
that had happened and the reasoning behind why Na Na reassure her father not to
cry.
Qing
Yang hated to see his Uncle cry and somehow he wonder if his girlfriend knew as
well that her father would be upset and crying his eyes outside. The handing of
the coffee bean pendant was something he understood that she was going to come
back for that.
The
light turn up on the door indicating the surgery that would now start soon. His
Uncle back facing him while the necklace hanging in his hand, already he knew
that his Uncle was scared to death. He didn’t think the man could survive if Na
Na dies. He wasn’t sure if he would be the same as well.
The
hours went on and he felt exhausted as he sat on the bench pressing his hands
to his face. Na Na was all he could think about, her smile their first meeting,
her belief that her mother arrange the meeting for them to find one
another.
The
ups and downs of their relationship with one another and how much they
complement one another, the strain of silence as he sat in the cold hospital corridor
waiting and waiting. The light was bright in his mind and he notice familiar
shoes and slowly looks up.
‘Don’t
look so sad, give me a smile.’ Na Na face was
bright and he reaches forward to feel the warmth of her hand. Na Na always
trying so hard to cheer him up.
Her
silly requests ‘Sing for me.’
So
he sang keeping her company and felt his heart ease in tension not realizing
that he fell asleep. To gentle lull and warm beside him, when he woke up a few
hours later he notices that he was alone with only Ya Nuo and his Uncle. The
surgery was taking a long while and anxiety hit him, he wonders if in his
dreams that it was a sign.
Did
she leave to come see him? Was this a sign that he might be losing the one
thing that kept life bearable, but it couldn’t be that life was that cruel
right?
It
wouldn’t give him a breath of fresh air to sweep along, he had to have hope in
her, in that she would survive and pull through. Then the light of operation
switch off and the familiar figure of the doctor came out.
The
words, “The surgery was a success.” And he almost fell down from relief. She
made it. She kept her promises and that life wouldn’t be so cruel to a pair of
lovers that have yet to advance forward to grow old together.
Life
only grants you one hundred years but already he use up thirty percent of his
and he wanted to keep her with him. So now he had a chance and they would
dutifully bound her to this earth to keep her beside them.
Ya
Nuo voices alerted him to something wrong. The announcement of Zi Feng and Zhe
Rui worries him. He felt relief that his bro was alright, he didn’t look harmed
but the concern over Zhe Rui came along.
Ya Nuo had left for coffee for the both of them he could see exhaustion
and concern over Zi Feng’s face.
“Zhe
Rui almost died.” Zi Feng words were gritty from the smoke he inhaled from the
fireworks. Qing Yang knew that Zi Feng was feeling guilty for everything that
had happened. This incident was meant to harm and kill Zi Feng. Qing Yang
didn’t like the conception that someone wanted to harm their leader.
“His
alive.” Qing Yang reassures him, “We will make sure that he will be okay.”
Zi
Feng said softly, “This is the second time that Zhe Rui interfered his life
might be in jeopardy for this.” He rub his face, “I want to be angry but I
don’t have the energy. He also asked me to give up Ya Nuo to him but…”
“I
seriously doubt you could even give up.” Qing Yang wave his hand off.
“You
seem to know me well enough.” Zi Feng gave a dirty glance at Qing Yang
reassuring that the leader still had his common sense and wasn’t going to be a
pitiful fool.
Qing
Yang nods his head, “Of course.” The approaching sound he became quiet as Ya
Nuo handed the coffee to him and Zi Feng. “Thank you.”
Ya
Nuo sat down beside Zi Feng. Now a sobering thought came along in Qing Yang
mind, as he took a sip of the terrible hospital coffee. “Even though there is
always someone wanting the spot of leader, but using such fatal method,” he
hesitated, “looks like the mastermind behind this bores a deep grudge against
you.”
A
few names were flashing through both men’s mind as to whom it might be.
“Who
do you think did it?” Ya Nuo asked.
Zi
Feng was silent but nodded his head, “Qing Yang.”
Qing
Yang already had a feeling everything was going to blow up in someone’s face.
“I
want to quickly investigate more about the cuff link. Maybe it can help my dad
regain his memories back.” Zi Feng brought it up and already Qing Yang had
people advance the search faster.
“Don’t
worry; I’ve been investigating about the cuff link.” There was no way that Qing
Yang would let go the first lead he had in such a long time.
Zi
Feng brought up the next business, “And also, don’t let Uncle Tian, Zi Han, and
my mother know about this. I don’t want them to worry.”
Qing
Yang nods his head; he knew that it was a concern since it might be an internal
matter, since they confirm it was someone internal and not external, look like Zi
Feng life was in jeopardy because of the triad seat.
“Ya Nuo, I need a favor from you.” Zi Feng
stated seriously as he touches Ya Nuo shoulder, the affinity between the two
were astonishing. Qing Yang could belief how someone like Ya Nuo could be
mistaken to be a boy for so long. The mannerism is like a man.
“Tell
me.” Ya Nuo stated.
Zi
Feng look like he is struggling with something, “Put more attention on my mom’s
and Zi Han’s safety. Qing Yang is taking care of Na Na, so I can only rely on
you.”
It
was a smart move after all, Qing Yang agrees, he had place many men to allergy
guard the Du family and Ya Nuo would be more safer with them.
The
public display of affection was something he was use to by now from the two,
seeing them grip hands and the soft words, “You also need to be careful.” These
two should seriously get married soon since he could see the tension between
the two. Unable to stand the two, Qing Yang stated softly.
“I’ll
go accompany Na Na.” She was already move to a room and was resting from the
surgery. Seeing the two being so well together made him long for his own. It
also meant giving the two love birds privacy.
It
was growing late already, entering the dim hospital room he notices his Uncle
rubbing his face in exhaustion. Looking down at the pink color bed and stripe
pajamas of the hospital Qing Yang relaxes to see the sleeping face of his
girlfriend.
Xing
Tian bends closer to him and said softly, “I’m going to go out to buy
something, please take care of Na Na.” He knew that the older man was giving
him time to be beside Na Na, since he was denied it from Na Na’s original
concern.
“Thank you, Uncle.” Qing Yang calls him on his
actions just by those words.
Qing Yang slowly ease himself into the chair beside her bed, and watches her
face relieve, he took her hand in his own cradling it in his palms. “That day,
the wishes we wrote on the sky lantern, God has received it.” He was so
thankful for it all. The surgery is very successful.” He took in a deep breath
of pride, “It was hard on you.” This surgery took a lot out of Na Na but he was
so thankful she was staying beside him. “I know that you don’t want me to
worry.” He didn’t resent her for that.
They
were newly minted lovers as he would coin the phrase. “You only show me your
cheerful and happy side.”
The
confession before made him realize how much Na Na love him so deeply that she
would bear the pain silently. “But what I want to undertake is not just your
happiness.” He brought her hand up to kiss the back. Reassuring himself she was
beside him still not gone. The warm in her hand gave him strength that she
would get better. “This is the last time.”
His
pride and desire for her was growing, “No matter what happens…whether you are
willing or not, I will never let you go through it alone.” He was making a
promise and threat to her, because he wouldn’t stay out in the future.
They
would continue their relationship she would be his responsibility and love.
Someone for him to take care of to go through bitter and happy times together,
everything of hers would belong to him and vice versa. He wasn’t like those
other men out there just because of a hitch or a bump of pain he would give up
and throw away the woman he truly understood that he loves deeply.
The
saying you don’t know what you have until it was gone, he was glad he learn
this at an early age, he was more mature compare to others. He wanted someone
to grow old with; he didn’t want to look anywhere else, because when Na Na
swept into his world, she became everything for him.
Kissing
her hand he slowly brought it down and covers her up with the blanket, while
touching her shoulders noticing the necklace back into place. He smiles
pressing his lips against her forehead; he didn’t think it was proper to steal
another kiss from her lips when she was unconscious. “You aren’t alone. You
have me.”
He
would keep that promise to her. Let her be happy and sad together. He headed to
the café because he had to take care of it while his Uncle took care of Na Na.
A call in midafternoon reassured him.
“She
is awake and doing alright.” Xing Tian said happily. He could see the glee in
his Uncle’s voice.
“I
am glad.” Qing Yang said softly, “I will go to the hospital later tonight to
check on her while she sleeps.”
“That’s
fine.” Xing Tian hums and he felt
reassured by how his Uncle was reacting. He did so wish he could talk to Na Na
but they were all pretending not to know about her surgery.
A
few days passed and the routine went on, the doctor had done the surgery and
was monitoring her. His Uncle had paid extra money to ensure she was in the
hospital longer until they were absolutely certain the danger period passed.
Picking
up Guo Lai he gave a smile at the bunny. “Your mother is still recovering, so
only daddy is here to take care of you.” He place on a dish some hay and
watches over the bunny trying to see if she would eat something.
The
appetite of the little mammal wasn’t as great and he wonder if she notices the
disappearance of her mother. He made a bottle of milk and slowly check to see
if the bunny would feed, it did. He continued to make coffee keeping an eye out
on the bunny daughter of theirs.
An
order of coffee blended and he slowly pours the hot water into the filter paper
slowly, when his phone to the side started to ring and vibrate. Glancing at it
he smiles, clicking on the accept button of line. “Hello.” He held the phone
up.
The
smiling face of Na Na made him relax.
“Hi!
Did I scare you by video chatting you?” Na Na look excited to see him.
Instead
of answering her he diverted the topic, “How’s Venice? Have you been eating and
sleeping well?” Seeing her awake and lively was a blessing in his mind. His
face was smiling at the phone.
Technology
was so wonderful but he sometimes wonder if that girl knew that sometimes
phones did not work internationally unless you pay money for a sim card.
Na
Na nods her head, “Yes.” Her eyes sparkle, “moreover, I miss you very much
and…” Her mind seem to jump to somewhere else, “And my dear daughter Guo Lai?
Where is she?”
Of
course she would be worried over her pet. “Hold on.” Luckily he kept the bunny
near him, reaching down he pick her up carefully with his left hand. Presenting
her to Na Na.
“Hi!
Guo Lai! Guo Lai did you miss mommy?” Na Na spoke like she was talking to her
baby. “Mommy misses you.”
Though
Qing Yang believes that her message was to him mostly, she just transfer all
her love to the bunny, whom seem to hold steal as she hears the familiar voice
of her human mother. Kissing the bunny, he places it gently back on the counter
near its food bowl.
“I
miss you. So much.” Qing Yang decided to be blunt since she deserve a reward.
Na
Na looks happy and said, “I also…” Qing Yang guest his Uncle was there what
with the name Tian Tian that came out of her mouth telling the person to the
side to leave. Yes Na Na was terrible at lying.
“What’s
wrong?” Qing Yang help cover the issue.
Na
Na said, “It’s nothing just a couple of friends and I were going to go out to
dinner.”
“What
were you going to say?” Qing Yang just wanted to hear her voice.
“Just
wanted to tell you I really miss you.” Na Na look flustered her cheeks
blushing. “Really, really miss you…”
“Then
hurry up and come home.” Qing Yang said he felt eager to feel her in his arms
again.
“Yes
I know.” Na Na said as she chatted, “The first thing when I go home is to drink
your coffee and your cake.” She watches him on the screen and he felt tender by
her words. “And we will take Guo Lai to that place where we release the sky
lantern last time.”
Qing
Yang gave a smile pouring more water into the coffee cup filter and softly
said, “And we will go on a trip somewhere? Maybe the beach?”
“I
would like that…I want to see the waters.” Na Na said happily.
They
chatted for a bit but he was called away. Disappointment lingers between the
two, but duties call. Cleaning up the plates that were left by customers, he
heard the door swing open. “Uncle why did you come back?” He felt shocked by
Xing Tian’s appearance.
Xing
Tian laughs, “Na Na said I am gone from the café for so long. It might cause
you to be suspicious, so she asked me to go back.”
Qing
Yang really dislikes the dancing around, to keep the secret, even though it was
meant well.
“So
I thought I might as well come back. I also bought some ingredient to make a
tonic for her.” Xing Tian showed the items. Qing Yang smiles nodding his head
glad that Na Na was able to eat something. “Na Na really likes to drink the rib
soup that I brew.”
The
bond between father and daughter was great, “That’s good.”
“That
video chat was pretty good, right? It was my idea.” Xing Tian bragged and Qing
Yang knew the man wanted to point out his help in their relationship.
“Thank
you, Uncle.” Qing Yang had a few of his mood sated from just seeing and hearing
Na Na.
Xing
Tian beams, “I am going to the kitchen, Okay?”
“Okay.”
Qing Yang agrees, but the sudden ringing of the door and appearance of Uncle
Wan Hao. He knew that Uncle Tian would be addressing the issues of what had
occurred. It also means that issues might have happened. Na Na identity was
given to Wan Hao. The man was happy over Na Na; it also meant that Xing Tian
may be out of the issue of danger since Na Na sickness. But disclosing a
weakness meant that Qing Yang would be guarding Na Na closely and also
including more men.
The
discussion that happened he listens in as he continued to make the coffee. He
presented the coffee to both men and then shows the cuff link. He watches and
observes Wan Hao’s face. He had his suspicion of who it could have been but the
way Wan Hao behaved leaving quickly was already a hint.
Qing
Yang would be searching deeply now he felt he was almost close to discovering
of who could have done harm to their three families.
