Chapter VII Goddess is Gone

Hot 3911 views. 2013-10-9 19:21

    It was already nine o’clock in the evening, Four was still working in the office diligently. Looking outside by a glance, Four found it was already dark. He opened his QQ to see what other people were doing. He never said anything in QQ, however, liked seeing other people saying things there and also treated it as a hobby to relax himself. Suddenly he found a signature of Revo to make himself very excited. It showed Revo would come to Deep tomorrow for a business trip.

    Four sent a QQ message to Revo impulsively to show his intention to meet her. Revo was on-line and she replied soon, “Do you think it’s still necessary for us to meet each other?” Four replied passionately, “I never begged you before and I only wish I could have a dinner with you. Nothing else. Please…” Revo stared at the words for a long time and finally made her decision to type”If that’s really what you want,OK, See you tomorrow”.

    Four became a little happy boy again. Revo was already got married with another man, but Four seemed to ignore that fact completely. He knew nothing would happen between them, but seeing her tomorrow was still so exciting to him. At least he could stay with her to talk and that’s really enough to make him dizzily happy.

    The next evening, Four waited nervously in a restaurant. He picked a seat near window so that he could see street and also people coming in. Though he knew her for more than ten years, he was still nervous to meet her. He even found his palm was moist with perspiration. He became aghast simply because he saw a girl with similar shape of Revo walking toward him.

    He heard someone told him deep breath could make people calm and hurriedly had deep breath and only found it was in vain. Four picked up his mobile phone to play video games, but was always had game over for the first pass, after all, had no mood.

    After closed the game, Four found his hair wasn’t very smooth. He dipped one finger into his mouth to get saliva and rubbed it on hair to make it smooth and shining.

    Suddenly he heard a girl’s voice, “Four.” Four knew his goddess finally came, even her marriage couldn’t influence her charm in Four’s heart at all. Four summoned his courage to turn around to face Revo, the perfect goddess in his dream. The inner passion wasn’t ignited to burn bright as Four expected, instead, was extinguished by ice water. The goddess in front of him wasn’t the one in college days. Four was disappointed though he knew he shouldn’t, yet he did have that kind of feeling voluntarily. How could goddess of dream become not so attractive as before? Did she become old like other normal girls? Four couldn’t believe it, only his eyes told him it was true, yeah, she wasn’t so charming as before.

    Revo’s face wasn’t as tender as before and it turned sallow. Four had an unheard inner voice in heart, “sallow-faced old woman”. The voice repeated again and again until Four had a really bad headache. Revo’s girly curve was gone too. Four told himself, “It’s only four years. How could she change so much? Oh, my god! Do I still have the courage to do anything for her? I thought I was love maniac and noble-minded. Alas, I’m still one common shallow guy.” He could say, “No matter whatever you look, you’re always the goddess of my heart.” Four knew he couldn’t convince himself with such kind of words.

    Though Four hid his emotion perfectly, Revo still sensed his disappointment with female instinct. She wasn’t even sitting down, forced a smile and said, “I have to go now. You take care.” Then she turned around and went out of the door with tears in eyes. She had a rich and handsome husband already and there was no reason to be sad. Anyhow, she was in tears.

    Four thought he should insist on her staying to dinner, but only sat still to watch Revo walking away. He grinned and then laughed, “It’s not her fault. She is only a common woman. Only I thought her as goddess. I had lived in that colorful dream for so long. Now my dream was broken easily, could that be called love?”

    Four stood up and felt he’d like to have dinner with Atman more. He brought food to Atman’s basement and Atman was glad he could have Four to have supper together. Four said calmly, “I met Revo today.” Atman only ate his supper quietly without response at all. Four was curious, “Why don’t you ask me about it?” Atman smiled, “Why should I? I got answer from your eyes easily. You’re really disappointed. I remember clearly you told me it was hard to get over her not long ago. Now look at what you did!” Both men laughed heartily and finished the remaining food quickly.

    Only in the deepest place of Four’s heart, there was heavy awe to Atman. He wasn’t a common security guard, maybe he was Jiang Ziya of fishing period.

Nobody can escape from getting old as time goes. Time can change many things. Perhaps Four is just too young and underestimated it.

Such a well written story, with some minor mistakes, but still wonderful.
It was fun read and enjoyable. However, the character ' four' in the story was despicable.

How can a person place so much attention on the outlook of a former dream girl and completely cold when she changed with age and time. Any girl who marry a man like this is destined to misery. He even have the guts to laugh over that incident. He would be old someday too and lets just hope that old friends would look at him as if he is a monster. I really feel sorry for that girl and hope she understands that some people are not worth keeping. Beauty captures attention, personality captures hearts.

Long time no see, buddy. Glad to see you again. Nowadays people are paying high attention to appearance, which is even equal to ability. Just think of popular Korean wave, plastic surgery hospitals keeping springing up. We can see beauty everywhere to attract attention. Just like Joe said, “As long as the packaging is pretty, who cared what’s inside?”    Everybody has his own choice of life. Everybody is different from others.
