Prologue:
12th February 2002.
The night was quiet, everything peaceful and calm. I looked outside the window next to my bed as I lay on the window seat. From here, I could see the calm waters of the sea. It was the reason I had chosen this room for myself many years ago. I sighed softly. I really did not want to leave, yet I saw nothing that could make me stay. Not even him. Just a year ago, if anyone had asked me I would have told them my life was perfect the way it was. I lived together with the two people I held dear to me, had a fantastic job, great friends and a marvelous relationship. Until recently I had experienced something that almost took my life away. It came unexpectedly, but when it came, it came with gifts; betrayal, rejection, heartbreak and it also broke my faith in humanity and friendship. I saw no reason to stay, yet I felt something tugging at my heartstrings. I fingered the scar on my body and touched it gently. The scar in my lower abdomen still hurt, and it was more emotional pain than physical pain. I felt tears gathering, yet I kept calm. Not yet, I reminded myself.
Gathering my courage, I silently walked to the door on the other side of my room while observing my room for the last time. The intricate, seemingly abstract colourful lines on the white wall which I loved seemed to bid me goodbye. I wondered if I would miss this room as badly as I had expected. It was not the room I would miss, it was the memories I had made here. Bidding my room farewell, I was about to go out of the room when my eye caught the attention of an old, stuffed teddy bear with a pink bow around its neck. I cursed myself for being so careless to leave my one happy memory behind as I picked it up and set it on my suitcase before closing the hard wooden door silently.
I looked around the living room of my cozy apartment, regretting almost instantly that I had to leave. The door on the right side of my room seemed to appeal to me and I knew I would never leave happy without saying goodbye to the person behind that door. Slipping into the room, the room which had been my sanctuary all these years, I felt a pang of regret. Soft, delicate snores filled the room as I looked at it intently. The room, unlike mine, was messy and unorganized yet; it contained so much more feeling compared to mine. As I walked toward the person who contained my affections, memories of the past flooded me. When I reached him, he was in his own private heaven, a haven I could never trespass.
I bent down to his level and ruffled his brown hair, a habit I had yet to break, a habit I shared with him. For a moment he stopped snoring and I feared he would awaken. Being a creature of habit, he brought his teddy bear to his chest and hugged it, with a look of contentment on his handsome features. I felt the tears in my eyes reach the climax, yet I refused to let it flow. “Not yet,” I told myself as I laid a kiss on his cheek. A single crystal tear trickled down my cheek and down onto his cheek, a distant memory that I hoped he would cherish. Slowly, I let the butterflies of the past carry my feelings away and I instinctively knew a fragment of my heart was gone for good. Then, I left the room the same way I came in, fingering the familiar dent in the wooden frame of the doorway that I had caused by accident.
As I reached the living room for the second time that night, I saw a figure sitting on the white futon couch looking at me. I felt the tears coming at that instant. Knowing how I felt at the moment, she hugged me tightly, and silent sobs filled the little apartment for what seemed like an eternity.
“Don’t cry, Michelle. Everything will be all right soon,” she whispered softly into my ear to ease my heaving sobs. She held my hand as if to give me strength and gazed at me. “I’m coming to see you off.” I had no energy left to protest and even if I had protested, she would have insisted. Therefore, I nodded meekly. We walked towards the front door, her hand clasping my right hand and my left hand holding the battered teddy to my chest. I glanced at the apartment again, wondering when I would ever return to Hong Kong. The sea breeze caressed my face and I knew I would return, someday, when my wounds had healed for Hong Kong was where my heart is, and that fact would never change.
Inner Monologue:
__________________________________________________
“Since young, I only wanted to be loved rather than to love. Yet why is it that I find that my heart is breaking each day? I can only wear a mask to conceal my feelings.”
__________________________________________________
“The sun has never stopped shining; it is you who have stopped searching for it. Let me help you find the light once more, and let me see you revel in that light which will shelter you from that evanescent hope that has kept you caged, brought you so high that you forgot to fly.”
__________________________________________________
“I’ve surrendered my soul to Raymond, gave my trust to Ron and the only thing I have left is my heart, which without my soul and the presence of trust has been broken into pieces. I will try to fall in love with you but will you still want my shattered heart now?”
__________________________________________________
“I rather wish for your happiness and love you silently than force you to love me. Even when you’re with me I ask myself if I can fulfill my duty to make you the happiest woman on earth. My happiest thought is to stay by your side till the end of eternity. But do you really love me, or am I just a substitute for them?”
__________________________________________________
“She does not know my heart is broken and held in shape by her, she is like Elmer’s glue, shaping my heart and connecting it properly.”
__________________________________________________
“I’m tired of constantly having to paste a smile on my face each time I see you because deep down my heart is smashing and my defenses lowering because I trust you not to hurt my battered, wounded soul anymore.”
__________________________________________________
“Autumn is mystical, carefree, and mysterious- that represents you. The melancholic touch in the song represents my love for you, because as the autumn wind wants to see the beauty of spring, I pine for you, yet autumn and spring will never meet, just as we have fate but are not destined to be together.”
__________________________________________________
“Life has an unexpected way of fooling everyone, showing its true colours after so long and adding to life’s misery. I see that in my line of work all the time yet, it brought you into my life to brighten it, and for that I am grateful.”
__________________________________________________
“The only thing left of me is a shell, do you want that? I can never love you fully just as you want every being in a skirt in your path. I do not trust you and will you be contented sharing a place with three other men in my heart even if I loved you?”
__________________________________________________
“I wish I could hold you close to me and heal you. Your heart is wounded so deep it is dying. I am a surgeon; let me heal your heart because all I ever wanted to see was your smile shining every day of my life, irregardless of whether the smile is for me or for another, for your evanescent smile alone weakens me, yet fills my life and entire being.”
__________________________________________________
“Will you ever forgive me? Because of me, you’ve stopped trusting. Am I worth that sacrifice?”
__________________________________________________
”You are a despicable, lowdown rat who broke my faith in humanity. Why harass me if all you want to do is to break my heart, you deceitful, lowdown rat?”
__________________________________________________
“Will you believe me when I say I’m sorry for all that I’ve done? Give me another chance to make amends, for my identity might have been faked but my feelings were not.”
__________________________________________________
“Why can’t you open your eyes and see? He is like the sun and you the rain, separated from each other, yet when the both of you meet, a beautiful rainbow is produced. Why can’t you seek that beauty?”
__________________________________________________
“I seek a soul mate that will love me, shelter me and protect me instead of hurting me further.”
__________________________________________________
“You have hurt her heart indirectly doing all those things that you do. She has tried time and time again to forget you and start life anew, yet you constantly plague her endlessly. Are you that dense as to not notice her affections towards you? Does it not hurt you to see every crystal pearl that she cries? “
