part2:
It was cloudy day. Each cold wind blew through her hair. She had been sitting at the balcony looking at the beautiful garden for a while. Some tender statues were adorning themselves to wait for their right half. They had been there for a long time but nobody came and picked them up to the paradise. But they still stood there, still waited for…They didn’t give up or they had no choice? She wondered whether they would be here if they could run out. Where was the sun who she hated the most? He always liked to burn her sensitive skin. There was no flicker light from the swimming pool any more. Now the grey color was controlling this area. Didn’t pay any attentions to the sadness of the statues some flowers quivered shyly in the wind’s flirtation. They were so happy.

She took a deep breath and made a mile. It was going to rain. It was very quiet but not peaceful. She had been stretching herself too much. She stood up and got out of the glass door. It was not as lovely as its look. It was too noisy, too hot and too dusty outside. She walked around. However nothing was changed, she was till bored. She put hand in her pocket to get a pearl out – his pearl. The pearl was still a real one but he isn’t. He had just been in her dream. She hadn’t met him for 15 days. Everything was normal, just her feeling was disorder. She was like a crazy girl. No one believed what she said. They thought her story was just a dream. But she herself knew that it was not a dream. He was real somewhere and she wanted to find him.

She was here in the real life. Although she was too exhausted after 12 hours working, she couldn’t forget him – her illusive prince. It was raining. Her face was hit by a thousand of raindrops. It was really hurt likes a thousand of needles inject into her skin. She was goose-flesh with the violent wind. The sky was not silent any more. It thundered with a lot of lightning now. It was darker and darker. The night was coming up. She stayed there without moving. She looked at the pearl and wondered if he would appear again. No answer was her hatred. She felt too cold now. Moreover, she can see her heart is freezing. Her memory of the cold night in his arms in the wonderful land came back clearly. She was choked by tear. She wished that she would be with him now. She cried. Now she could know how the power of love was. Suddenly, the pearl shined up. There was a tiny rainbow around it. “What’s a beautiful sight” she said. This rainbow was bigger and bigger. There was a mirror in the middle of this circle. Actually it was not a mirror, it was a transparent glass. She could see him. He was playing with Kobe – it was mature at that time. It was so attractive with the wolf face and the brave wings. He was riding it. He looked at her. He was aware of her observing. He took out from his bag the same pearl and put it on the ground. He did sow it. He tried to tell her the pearl was not a solid it was a seed. She could understand that but she didn’t care about that. She wanted to be with him again. She really missed him. She did touch the green slowly. His picture was gone away immediately. She sounded at the pearl “noooooooooooooooooooo”

She gets up. She is in bed now. She was faint in the rain. Her friends are beside her. They are so worry about her status. She looks around, nothing happens. The doctor comes and says that she gets flu because she is short of energy and too stress with her work. He asks her stay in bed for few days in addition. She says nothing. She is seeking her magic seed. Fortunately, it’s here in her pocket. She can see it’s smiling to her. She feels so warm with its light.

Today she buys a pretty flower-pot which she’ll put the pearl in. She will put it next to the window where the sun shines every day. She’ll water and take care of it carefully. She hopes that it would burst soon. She believes in what her heart beats.
