The night sky was ablaze with flashes of lightning. From the distance came the low rumbling of thunder. It had started to drizzle and soon a steady downpour.

Annie paced up and down the living hall. She quivered in rage. Her eyes bulged and the veins on her forehead looked ready to burst. Then came Fanny and Tu Fan happily home from the relentless rain and wind.

‘ I can’t stand this a moment longer! She is dying soon! Why waste your time on her ? ‘, Annie raged at the couple.

‘ Stop it Annie! ‘, her mother shouted as she put her arms around Fanny. Fanny’s eyes soon became red and puffy.

‘ Mum, I’m alright! I knew about my leukemia on the day when the doctor came to talk to you ‘, said Fanny.

The rain pelted against the windows and hammered on the roof continuously. At that moment, tears welled up in the mother’s eyes.

The next morning, Fanny left the house without a word.

Tu Fan checked frantically the house but there was no sight of her. He began to gnaw his fingernails in nervous dread as he combed the vicinity. When he found her, she was lying unconsciously on the beach.

When Tu Fan carried Fanny home, Annie was guilt-ridden as she did not know how she would face her dying sister.

Soon the evening sun cast long shadows on the ground. The slanting rays of the setting sun gave a warm orange tinge to the sky. Fanny looked upon the scenic sight. Her eyes began to grow heavy. In the arms of Tu Fan, she rested in peace ….

The foamy waves crashed on the shore with unfailing regularity. The salty breeze invigorated both Fanny and Tu Fan as they walked barefoot along the shore, the fine sand cool and soft under their feet. At that moment, Fanny felt on top of the world. She had never expected to be with her beloved one to stroll along a deserted beach.
However, happy moments seemed short when Annie appeared at the beach.

Annie had secretly followed the couple to the beach. She lured Tu Fan to a secluded spot and smothered him with kisses. Being irritated by Annie’s behavior, he rejected her and returned to look for Fanny; however the latter was nowhere in sight.

Tu Fan realized that he had unconsciously fallen for Fanny. He knew it was not a pity but true love after those days together. Meanwhile the damsel-in-distress started to worry as her health conditions deteriorated each day. She knew her days were numbered and in view not to hurt Tu Fan deeply, she requested a break up. She was finally touched by his sincerity and faithfulness but the jealous Annie ruined their bliss …

‘ Only three months to live with ‘, sniveled Fanny miserably. Though heartbroken, Fanny pretended everything as usual so as not to hurt her mother further. Days passed and one day the caring mother realized Fanny’s interest in Tu Fan. On a sudden whim, she decided to approach Tu Fan the next day.

Tu Fan was taken aback by the request of Fanny’s mother. She had implored Tu Fan to feign love towards her dying daughter. Looking at her tearstained face, puffy and swollen with grief, Tu Fan finally complied with her request. Fanny’s mother heaved a sign of relief and arranged a party to let Tu Fan get to know her daughter.

That night, the atmosphere in Fanny’s house was electrifying. The excited buzz of the crowd and the noisy band could be heard. Then Fanny’s sister Annie strode onstage, grasped the microphone and sang a new hit song.

Soon, Tu Fan arrived at the party and was formally introduced to Fanny. He was speechless with surprise when he saw her, for she was such a gentle and sweet lady. Meanwhile, Annie saw Tu Fan’s arrival. She was jealous of her parents’ over-concern love for Fanny, thus the rebellious girl determined to snatch away Fanny’s beloved …

The sun poured through her window; the rays of the sunlight lit up her room. Another day had dawned, brought with it new hopes and aspirations. Fanny jumped out of her bed and went to her balcony with a spring in her step. With bated breath, she waited.

‘ Ooh! There he is, ‘ she whispered excitedly. Her neighbor Tu Fan had just walked out of his house, ready for work. Every day without fail, Fanny would stand by the balcony just to catch a glimpse of his sight. She was infatuated with the dashing man.


Fanny was a quiet and good-tempered girl. Her shinning hair fell to her shoulders, framing her small, oval face. Her eyes lit with pleasure whenever she saw Tu Fan. She was always in seventh heaven until the day a doctor came to her house.

That day, Fanny’s mother looked sad and woebegone. Her eyes glistened with tears. The doctor had confirmed Fanny’s incurable disease leukemia and she had only three months to live with. The sad mother pleaded him not to reveal the truth. Little did she know that Fanny was at the doorway and had overheard their conversation ...
