Only Love Part 1
Only
Love Part 2
Only Love
Part 3
It's a cold February night. People are bustling
through the streets, either pulling up their coat
collars or wrapping scarves around their necks,
trying to stay warm.
It's so cold today.I'm standing at my window, looking
at the people moving like little dots. Standing
in a heated room, I'm beginning to pity those people.
Why don't they go home? Do they plan on wandering
until morning?
"Almost time to go home! My boyfriend must
be going crazy." One of the nurses breathe
a sign of relief. "Still needs to work overtime
on Valentine's Day. It's so unfair!"
"You are fortunate." Another nurse says.
"Some people don't have anyone waiting for
them."
"You mean Dr. Shu?"
Like Sherlock Holmes, my ears perk up when I hear
my name.
"Do you remember how she lost control on this
day last year?"
"Of course I do." A nurse shudders. "I've
never seen Dr. Shu like that. Crying and yelling,
like she was crazy."
They are talking about how I was last year. They
are correct. I was out of control, like they said.
"You can't blame Dr. Shu. If my boyfriend died
in front of my eyes, I would probably go crazy as
well."
"Keep it down. She hasn't left work yet. She
might hear you."
The two nurses are too late. I heard the entire
conversation through the canvas wall.
"Dr. Shu, what are you doing standing here?"
Just as I was deciding whether or not to reveal
myself, another nurse exposed me. I awkwardly step
out. The 2 nurses who discussed me start to blush.
Their faces became redder than the bow on Valentine's
Day chocolates.
"I'm waiting to go home." I pretend that
I didn't hear anything.
"Dr. Shu, you must have gotten too involved
in your work. It's already past time to go home.
See you tomorrow. Happy Valentine's Day!" She
waves goodbye.
"Happy Valentine's Day." I wave back
and watch the 2 nurses hurry away.
That's fine. I was ready to go home anyway. Even
though no lover is waiting
for me, at least there's a lazy cat waiting for
me to feed.
After I come home, the first thing I do is feed
the cat. I forgot when I first had the cat. Probably
since last year's Valentine's Day. At that time,
I was like an abandoned cat, with eyes filled with
despair. Cats don't cry, I do. That's the only difference.
"Better drink all the milk or I'll skin you."
I threatened the cat. Her name is Christine, my
least favorite English name. I don't know why I
named the cat Christine. Christine meowed once to
let me know she heard me, but her eyes are complaining
about my severity. Her eyes remind me of someone
I used to know, standing in front of me with eyes
of rebellions.
An year ago today, I had lunch with my boyfriend
and took the opportunity to complain to him.
"Today is Valentine's Day. Why didn't you
give me any flowers?"
He raised his eyebrow. "Why should I give
you flowers? You are not my anyone."
"Then... you should at least give me a card!"
I pouted my lips, hurt by his tone.
"I know, I know. After lunch, I'll send you
an e-card."
E-card. That sounds so impersonal, but that's the
way he is. "You have to e-mail it to me. I'll
be waiting." I excitedly smiled and planned
to sneak home after lunch to check e-mail. Even
though he wouldn't use any romantic words, I still
looked forward to the card.
"I can't stand you women. Why do you make
such a big deal out of Valentine's Day??" He
grumbled while eating his food. His comment induced
me to fight with him again.
"You are not romantic at all!! Don't you watch
any Japanese drama?"
"Japanese drama? I only watch Discovery Channel."
"Your life is so boring." I made a face
at him. "One recent drama was really good.
You should have watched it."
"What's that drama called?" He didn't
believe in the love portrayed in TV and movies.
He always thought they were lies.
"It's called 'Story of A Century'." I
gladly answered.
"What kind of trashy plot did it have?"
"What do you mean trash?? Show some respect!"
I was so angry. "That drama was very touching,
and the theme song was beautiful as well. It's called
'Only Love', performed by Nana Mouskouri."
I wonder if he knew who Nana was.
"Nana, I know her. A Greek singer with really
expensive albums."
"Her voice is worth it." Even though
I secretly agreed with him, I couldn't bring myself
to admit it.
"Whatever." He glanced at his watch.
"I'll give you 5 minutes to tell me the plot.
After that, I'm leaving."
I tried hard to explain 6 hours worth of story
in just 5 minutes. The drama portrayed the love
stories of 3 generations of women spanning 100 years,
from 1901 to 2000. Each generation was portrayed
by the same actress. The story was tear-jerking.
"What's so touching about it?" He asked,
after listening to the story.
"Don't you think each generation's story is
wonderful? If I have such great screen writing ability,
I wouldn't be a doctor anymore. I would become a
screenwriter."
"If you become a screenwriter, I bet no one
would watch the show. The TV station can go out
of business." He quickly interjected.
"I'm going back to work. Hurry and send me
the card!" I was so mad that I went home immediately,
not even finishing my coffee.
As soon as I walked in my door, I turned on my
computer and go online.
Staring at the empty in-box, I began to reminisce
about how we met. Maybe no one will believe me,
but my boyfriend and I were actually neighbors.
Our homes were only 1 wall away. Ever since we were
kids, we liked to fight with each other all day
long. I still remember when I moved to the country
that year. Used to the city life, I couldn't get
used to the simple life in the country. After school,
I would just go home and do nothing. Whenever that
happened, he would always come over to tease me.
"Why are you staring off into space??"
He loved to pull on my hair. "You're so ugly
when you're doing nothing. But you're also not pretty
when you smile." In other words, I'm really
ugly.
