But Alex doesn’t wait for Miya to say, he adds, “Only you in my heart.”
They express their love to each other almost everyday, but they won’t think too lovey-dovey.
Maybe it is how it looks like when you love someone.
Sure enough, only few tourists take that host serious in the other day, they slowly go downhill late in the
morning.
But the tourist who arrived first said he didn’t see the host.
Obviously he was fooled.
When Miya and Alex come down hand in hand, they are stopped by the host, he says,
“Congratulations! You’re the first couple come down when the mountain road is open.”
The first one who arrived the bottom of the hill doesn’t satisfied with the result, but the host explain,
“The winner must come down when the sun rises up, and the the mountain road is open. Didn’t I tell
you clearly yesterday?”
Yesterday most of the tourists didn’t take the competition seriously, let alone they will hear the rules
carefully.
The most beautiful lady will offer flowers as prize for the first place. The other tourists think the prize
doesn’t seem as tempt as they expected, so they don’t care who won the prize.
At night, the bonfire gets stronger, Alex and Miya holding hands on the stage, the feeling of being
watched by the crowd is not so good, as if they are treated as monkeys.
Suddenly, the crowd become quiet. A woman walks down from the tall building of this village. She
wears a garland in white dress looks like a fairy strays into the world. Her fine features reflected by the
flame make her looks like coming from the other world.
No wonder it is the prize of the first winner.
But when Miya looks at her, she finds this woman looks familiar, and she feels the man beside her has
become stiff.
“Susan.” Alex can’t help to shout at her.
The beautiful woman in white dress walks to them, putting on the garlands for them, she says, “I never
expected I could meet you here.”
They also didn’t expect that. Miya holds Alex’s hand, she’s afraid that she will get mad. But if she did
that, Alex may not stand by her side.
“Susan, you...” Alex intends to ask more questions, but he feels his hand is held tight. That’s it! Miya is
standing by his side now.
The host watches this happening, planning something. Then he says in a loud voice, “The next prize is
the kiss by our girl to the victories.”
Miya bites her lower lip, she thinks if the woman has a normal western face she won’t feel awkward.
“I’m sorry. This man is my husband, I won’t allow any other woman get close to him except myself.”
Yet the host thinks she makes a fuss, “It’s just a ritual of our village, it doesn’t matter much.”
“That’s your ritual. In our hometown, if a girl kiss a married man she will be scorned.”
Susan’s face gets pale. Alex has ever thought of showing his care to her, but he gives up. The day
when they got married he swore to himself that he wouldn’t make Miya sad again.
A lot of people from the crowd doubt, “Which place has this ritual leave so much to be desired? It’s just
a kiss represents for friendship. Moreover, the kiss will be on cheeks instead of lips.”
Miya can’t say anything, she choose to give up the right to speak up, enduring the questions from
different kinds of people.
Susan looks at them. She pretends to be generous when she faces Miya, “It’s just the need of the
competition. I swear what I say is true.”
She turns to Alex, indicating what she says is true. But Alex holds Miya’s hands and they walks down
from the stage, “This is really our ritual, especially after I got married, I haven’t allowed any other
woman touch me.” Probably it is a kind of illness, my wife comes to relieve me from the pain.
Susan watches everything happens, she bites her lower lip. Last time when she left Alex, she was sure
Alex already had Miya in his heart. But she also knew that Alex might not let her go, he must had tried
to strop her in the airport.
Although she knew it, she decided to go abroad. But even when she stays in other country she can’t
stop to think about Alex.
Sometimes she would regret, if she didn’t leave Alex, she might be able to compete with Miya, but she
gave up the chance. When she meets Alex again, she finds there’s only the other woman left in his
heart...
Is she willing to give up Alex this time?
The answer is no.
Miya was taken off by Alex. When they goes back to their hotel, Miya shakes off his hand, questioning
him, “Do you still in love with her?”
She acts like unreasonable, “No, there’s only you in my heart.”
Alex tells lies, the show up of Susan makes him feel kind of guilty, he wants to compensate her. The
person he most in debt to is Miya, but he has already been compensating her, with the rest of his life to
remedy the harm he did to her.
But Susan is different, he has confirmed that he can’t give his love to her, so he thinks he owns Susan
most. For instance, he doesn’t know how to compensate her.
“You’re telling lies.” Miya points out directly.
Alex is shocked, before he tries to say something, Miya says,
“Sorry, I was agitated. But can you leave me alone for a while? I think I need to cool off.”
She doesn’t forget how much pain Alex brought to her because of Susan.
She begged Alex let her go before but he didn’t do it, yet as soon as Susan came back he did it so
easily.
She doesn’t forget Alex held a grand engagement party once Susan came back.
She doesn’t forget how long she had been waiting because of Susan.
Later she didn’t tell him the barrier between them was Alex stayed beside her because Susan left.
She can’t help to think a lot and almost starts to cry, but she can’t cry because Alex is beside her now.
Once she cries, he will know.
“No way, I will be right here for you.” Alex holds Miya tightly, he remembers Miya is sensitive recently.
The after effect still on since last time she was kidnapped by Johnson. After Grace told her the details,
everything could have scared her. Now Susan shows up again, will she thinks more?
Miya gets rid of him unpleasantly, but Alex still holds her.
