Misencountered

A Sacrifice Made...

~2009 January 12~
/\/In the car/\/

||Jerry||
Will you be long?

||Hebe||
No, it will be just a minute. I just need to grab some things.

||Jerry||
Hurry up, before Celine wakes up.

||Hebe||
I know.

/\/ Food Shop/\/
10 minutes later...

||Hebe||
I guess this should be it for now, I'll just run here to get more things if I need it.

*Hebe was standing in line waiting for the cashier. *

* Arron then came and stand in the same line.*

||Arron||
What else do I need? I got milk, eggs, yogurt, cereal...AH BE!!!!

Hebe's thoughts: That voice seem familiar. For a minute there, I thought it was Yalun, but it can't be.

||Arron||
Tian Xibi!

*Hebe turned around to see Arron standing about three meters away. *

Hebe thoughts: Oh my, it is him. I can't talk to him.

*Hebe dropped everything and started to run out of the shop and Arron ran after her *

||Arron||
Oops, I am sorry.

*Arron had bump into a cart *

/\/In the parking lot/\/

||Arron||
Where is she?

/\/In the car/\/

||Hebe||
Hurry, drive.

*Hebe was out of breath*

||Jerry||
Hebe, what is wrong? Did something happen?

||Hebe||
No, it is nothing, just drive.

||Jerry||
Okay.

/\/Arron standing in the parking lot/\/

||Arron||
That was her, it was definitely her. My eyes aren't playing a trick on me, right? Why would she run away from me?

!~!Start of Flashback!~!

~2009 June 3~

/\/Hsinchu/\/

||Arron||
Ok, I will see you guys later, I am going to Xibi's house.

||Selina||
Yalun, Xibi family moved about 6 years ago.

||Arron||
Really? To where?

||Selina||
I am not sure, maybe to Taipei.

||Arron||
Ella didn't tell me that Ah Be moved to Taipei when I saw her in Taipei.

||Selina||
Maybe she forgot.

!~! End of Flashback!~!
Arron thought: It might be her, since Ah be is in Taipei.

/\/Yan's household/\/

||Jerry||
Hebe, tell me, what happen? Why were you running?

||Hebe||
Where is Xilin?

||Jerry||
I already put her in her room.

||Hebe||
Oh ok?

||Jerry||
So what made you run?

||Hebe||
nothing, I just remember that you guys were in the car and I took so long.

||Jerry||
It was like 10 minutes. It wasn't that long.

||Hebe||
ok, then don't complain when I go shopping.

*Jerry chuckled *

||Jerry||
Okay, you just shut me up, xiao jie.

||Hebe||
score one!

||Jerry||
Don't get so hype.


/\/Yan's household/\/

||Jerry||
Hebe, do you want to go to the amusement park today? I want to take Celine out, she has been coop up inside for too long.

||Hebe||
Cooped up inside? You make her sound like a chicken.

||Jerry||
I am not trying to make it sound that way. So are you going?

||Hebe||
Yeah, sure, but how about at the office? You are not busy?

||Jerry||
It is a Sunday, let the man take his family out and have fun and come on I am the boss, I set the guidelines for other not for myself

*Jerry smirked, satisfied with his comment *

||Hebe||
Setting a bad example. What a bad boss?

||Jerry||
You really want to know how bad I am? I will show it to you.

*Jerry smirked again and winked at Hebe*

||Hebe||
Ge, stop playing around.

||Jerry||
Ok, now go get ready. Still acting so young even after having a daughter.

||Hebe||
You say I act young, you are the one that act immature.

||Jerry||
Ah Be, don't try to start something. Just go, will you? I am getting impatient.

||Hebe||
I am starting to think that this isn't really for Xilin but for the old head instead.

||Jerry||
Who are you calling an old head?

||Hebe||
No one, I am going to get ready now.

*After her comment, Hebe dashed to her room as fast as she could*

/\/In the car/\/

||Hebe||
Are you excited baby?

||Celine||
YES, mommy. Me very happy. We have not been to the abusement park in so long.

*Jerry and Hebe chuckled at what Celine said*

||Hebe||
It is amusement park, sweety, we wouldn't want to go to an abusement park. So what do you want to ride when we get there?

||Celine||
The merrish wheel!!!

||Jerry||
Ferris wheel, Celine. Just like your mom. Never missing out on the ferris wheel.

||Celine||
Mommy likes the merrish wheel, too? Mommy is like Xilin.

||Jerry||
Yes, you guys are very alike. Mommy was cute like you, too, when she was younger, but was very feisty, right Bebe?

||Hebe||
…..................

||Jerry||
Ah be

||Hebe||
….................

||Jerry||
Xibi, are you okay?

||Hebe||
Oh, I am fine.

||Jerry||
You are thinking about him again, aren't you?

||Hebe||
Yeah, when Xilin talked about the ferris wheel, it just remind me of old times.

||Jerry||
The leaves never far from the tree. You like the ferris wheel and when you bore a child, she learned to love it, too.

||Hebe||
It is not just me, he love it, too. I think even more than me.

||Celine||
Who is “he” mommy?

||Hebe||
It is mommy's old friend.

||Celine||
Oh.

||Hebe||
So, baby is there any ride you want to ride besides the ferris wheel.

||Celine||
No, mommy, Xilin only wants to ride the merrish wheel, but if mommy and daddy wants ride another ride, Xilin won't be mad at mommy or daddy.

||Hebe||
It is ok, sweetheart. Mommy will accompany you to ride your merrish wheel as many time as you want, ok?

||Celine||
Ok, mommy. Thank you. I love you.

||Hebe||
I love you, too baby.

||Celine||
Mommy only love baby? How about daddy?

*Jerry and Hebe smiled and each other *

||Hebe||
Mommy loves daddy too. We are the best of friends, how can we not love each other.

||Celine||
Daddy, do you love mommy, too?

||Jerry||
Yes, I do, very much. Family shall always love each other.

||Hebe||
Did you put on your sunscreen yet?

||Celine||
Yes, mommy, Xilin put it on since home.

||Hebe||
Good job, Xilin. How about you?

||Jerry||
Hebe, I am not a kid like Celine. I don't need to use sunscreen.

||Hebe||
You still need to put it on anyway.

||Jerry||
Why? It is so sticky.

||Hebe||
Don't come to me, if you have skin cancer.

||Jerry||
I won't, because I won't have skin cancer AND what kind of ah mei are you? Cursing me? You want me to die faster? Celine, look at your mommy. Mommy don't love daddy.

||Celine||
Mommy, why don't you love daddy? I thought you said you did?

*By now, Celine is starting to tear up *

||Hebe||
Baby, I was only playing with daddy. I didn't know daddy would take it so seriously.

*Hebe then glared at Jerry intensely*

||Jerry||
Don't look at me like that.

*Jerry tried to avoid Hebe's glare *

||Jerry||
Why lookie here? We are at Celine's abusement park. Hebe, go get the stuff.

||Hebe||
You come too, come on.

/\/ In the amusement park/\/

||Celine||
Yay, we are going to the merrish wheel.

||Hebe||
Yes, be careful baby, don't walk to fast, we don't want to get hurt before getting there.

*Hebe and Jerry had spotted Arron walking around *

||Jerry||
Ah Be, come on. I want you to meet my co-worker. One of the best businessman ever.

*Hebe noticed that Jerry was pulling her toward Arron's direction so she made an excuse to run *

||Hebe||
Ge, ummm, I, umm, I just remember, I forgot to put my sunscreen on and I left it at home. I am going to the mart over there to buy some, ok?You can go on the ferris wheel without me. I will call you when I am done.

*Hebe started running in the wrong direction*

||Jerry||
HEBE

||Hebe||
I am in a rush. I need sunscreen.

||Jerry||
Bebe, the mini-mart is that way.

||Hebe||
Oh, okay.

* Jerry screamed after her*

||Jerry||
And you was messing with me about me not putting sunscreen on.

*Arron then suddenly though he heard Hebe's name so he turned around , to only see a girl's back and his friend and boss, so he walked over*

||Arron||
Hey, cutie, what are you doing here with this not so good looking old man?

||Jerry||
What are you talking about Arron? Who is the better looking one?

||Arron
I just said “not so good looking old man.” I never said it to anyone particular, you just assumed I was talking about you.

||Jerry||
Celine, say hi to this erted, dumb man.

||Celine||
Daddy, what does erted mean?

||Arron||
Oh, your name is Celine. Well, little kids should not know what it mean.

||Celine||
Oh, ok. Hi, uncle Arron.

||Arron||
Hey. Jerry, trying to spoil a kid's brain already.

||Jerry||
Ayyy, who is the father?

||Arron||
Who says I am not?

||Jerry||
Because you don't have a little child beside you, like me.

||Arron||
Since working with you, you have never mentioned anything about a wife or a child.

||Jerry||
It is a long story and a little complicated.

||Arron||
If you don't want to tell me, it is ok. So where is your unlucky wife?

||Jerry||
What do you mean by unlucky? She is lucky.

Lucky?

*Arron then fake coughing *

||Arron||
Are you sure she is lucky to have you?

||Jerry||
Of course she is lucky.

||Celine||
Uncle Arron, mommy is very lucky. Mommy love daddy, and daddy love mommy very much.

||Arron||
Then I will take your word for it, cutie. So where is she? I want to meet her, Jerry.

||Jerry||
She said she didn't put sunscreen on, so she went to put it on.

||Arron||
Typical girls.

||Jerry||
So what are you doing here? Are you alone?

||Arron||
Just reminiscing about he past, and I don't have any wife locked up in the house where I can bring her out anytime I want like you.

||Jerry||
Who says she is locked up in the house? She is so active. I really wonder where she get the energy from.

||Arron||
Sounds like my girlfriend.

||Jerry||
You don't have a wife cooped up but you do have a girlfriend cooped up. Why didn't you bring her with you?

||Arron||
It is a complicated story.

||Jerry||
Don't get too lost into the past, Arron, keep your head help high, always, remember that Arron, we are
business men, business men live in the present and always look to the future. The bright future.

*Jerry phone started to ring *

||Arron||
Businessmen! Jerry, turn off the phone when you are with your family. Even I turned off my phone when I come here.

||Jerry||
You are different. What if there is an emergency at the office?

||Arron||
Well, I have you to take care of things.

||Jerry||
Yes, and I have no one. Okay, let me pick up my call.

||Arron||
Well, then see you later

||Jerry||

[Start phone call]

||Jerry||
Be, I need to go to the office now. Where are you?

||Hebe||

||Jerry||

||Celine||
It is okay daddy. Let's go.

||Jerry||
Let's go.

/\/ At the car/\/

||Hebe||
Why do you need to go to the office so suddenly?

||Celine||
One of my client is coming to meet me.

||Hebe||
Ugh, look at Xilin's face. You really disappointed her. Xilin, it is ok, mommy will take you to the amusement park some other day ok. Without daddy, so he doesn't have to hurry us back.

||Celine||
Yes, mommy.

/\/ At home that night/\/

||Hebe||
Are you ready to go to bed yet?

||Celine||
Yes, mommy. Where is daddy?

Oh, okay.

||Hebe||
Baby, mommy, want to ask something, so tell mommy okay?

||Celine||
Okay

||Hebe||

||Celine||
I met no one. Ooooh, no, I met Uncle Arron. He is very nice mommy.

*Hebe mumbled to herself*

||Hebe||
I know.

||Celine||
What did you say mommy?

||Hebe||
Nothing, sweety.

||Celine||
He called me cutie many time. I like Uncle Arron. I don't know why.

*Hebe smiled at her daughter*

||Hebe||
Xilin, if you meet Uncle Arron again, and it is only you and me. Tell him that I am your nanny ok?

||Celine||
Ok, but why mommy? I want you to meet uncle Arron. I am sure you will like him, too.

||Hebe||
Mommy has her reasons. So mommy is Xilin's nanny, when you meet uncle Arron, ok?

||Celine||
Yes.

||Hebe||
Okay, go to sleep now.

||Celine||
Okay, good night mommy. I love you.

||Hebe||
I love you too.
