true love

She wept. Her mind was just filled with thoughts of him. She could not get him out of her mind. He was just so perfect to her. Her heart ached as she pictured him spending time with another girl on Valentines’ Day.

She was not about to let herself be depressed. She was going to let her feelings be made known. She took her purse and stood along the side of the busy road. She looked up and down, hoping that some taxi would come in sight. But none came. What was she going to do? She did not want to go home and allow her mind to be filled with thoughts that would upset her.

A dark cloud passed across the evening sky, hiding the setting sun. The taxi came soon after and she instinctively held up her hand, and the car stopped.

“Orchard Road, uncle,” she said softly. She knew that she would be able to see him there.

The taxi ride took shorter than expected. She was not ready to face him. She knew she could not hide forever. She knew she had to let her feelings be made known. He had always been a hero in her heart. She stood next to a quiet alley, next to the building where he worked.

Confused with what to do, she started pacing up and down. The noise of a group of people shouting reached her ear. She spun around quickly only to see a group of gangsters surrounding a familiar silhouette. It was him.

...

“You want to live? Pay us now or we’ll beat you to death,” the gangsters shouted fiercely at him. He shook his head with terror in his eyes. He had no money. With no where to run, he knew that the only thing he could do was to face death. He backed into a corner and crouched. He was trembling with fear.

The leader of the gang took something short and black out of his bag. It looked like an iron tool. Would the gangster attack him with that?

“Stop!” she heard herself screaming as the gangster raised the tool high into the air. Her heart beat so fast that she could barely breathe. She was too late, the gangster started hitting him. The others started kicking and punching him. He started shouting for help but they gagged him. Another tied him up so that he could not get away.

She saw blood trickling down his face. He was badly injured and all she was doing was just standing there, watching everything. His cries of help slowly started to die off. She knew that he was too weak to fight back, too weak to do anything.

She could not just stand around looking at her one true love get beaten up. She knew she did not have the strength or money to stop them. All she had in her mind was that she could not let him suffer anymore. Without thinking any further, she ran and threw herself over him. She took the beatings for him. She had no other ways to show her love for him except for suffering for him.

The gangsters continued hitting her with all their might. After they were satisfied that she was badly injured, they left. She just laid there bleeding. She had done all she could to save him. With the last ounce of strength she had in her, she lifted herself up to check that he was all right and then she fell down, unable to open her eyes…
