At Lu Mansion...In the Lu Qiang's room...

Lu Qiang got fresh and came out of the bathroom in a white towel which was loosely wrapped around his waist while drying his hairs with the another white towel in his hands. He threw the towel in his hands in the chair, went to the wardrobe and took out a set of white cotton shirt and a pajama. He was just about to close the door of the wardrobe, his sight stopped at something. It was an old wooden box which was in the bottom shelf of his wardrobe. He wore his clothes, carried that box with him and sat on the corner of his bed.

He opened that box and took out some old stuff like few handmade greetings cards, tiny and colourful paper toys such as birds, flowers, cranes, stars etc. There was a colourful wrist band on which his name was written and an old keychain having a tiny soccer ball hanging to it. At the bottom of that box there were few photographs. He took out them and started to check it out one by one. He had a pleasant smile on his face while he was going through those pics.

He held one photograph in his hands, in which three boys were standing behind a small wooden block in the garden and a girl standing on that wooden block. Three boys looked like around the age of 14-15 years old and a girl arond age of 9-10 years old. She was standing on that wooden block which made her match up to the heights of the boys standing behind her. All four were smiling showing their white teeths.

A girl had an ear to ear smile. Her eyes looked like an inverted Crescent moon because of her wide smile. Her long eyelashes were hiding her eyeballs. She looked too adorable in a peach colour dress with her hairs tide in two side ponytails. She was carrying a cute snow white kitten, holding in her hands in front of her chest.

Lu Qiang kept staring at the girl in a photograph for a while that made his smile even wider. As he was going through all those photographs, suddenly one pic caught his attention. In that pic a boy and a girl were sitting on a bench. Both were smiling while looking at the camera. He took that photo out and wind-up all the stuff back in the wooden box. He leaned back at the headrest of the bed and kept staring at that photograph. He closed his eyes and started to remember something.

It was a sunny day. A girl in a pink top and cute Jean's short pant was sitting on a semi circular bench in a Patio of Lu mansion's garden with a boy at her left side. He was wearing a light blue t-shirt and a black three forth pant. She looked very sad. The boy asked, "Jiang YuYan! Will you tell me what happened? Since yesterday you are like this. We came here to enjoy the weekend and here you are carrying a sad face all the time."

Jiang YuYan : "Brother Yang! In school everyone hates me and nobody talks to me." She said in a sad voice, lowering her head and staring at her fingers which were busy in pulling out the petals of a flower.

Jiang Yang : "What? How can someone hate my sweet sister? They must be stupid?" He said looking at her sad face.

Jiang YuYan : "They said that I am very bad as I get angry immediately." She looked hurt and was about to cry.

Jiang Yang : "Huuu! You have some anger issues though. But it's ok."

Jiang YuYan : "I am not the one to start it. They always try to pull a prank on me so..... I... just.... can't control it." She said the second line in a very low voice as feeling guilty about something.

Jiang Yang : "Its ok. I understand. Everything will be fine soon." He patted her head lightly while consoling her.

Jiang YuYan : "Brother!" She suddenly called his name as wanted to say something more.

Jiang Yang : "Huuu?"

Jiang YuYan : "Boys in my class said that nobody likes a girl like me. No boy will ever make me his girlfriend and also nobody will marry me." And tears started to roll down from her eyes.

Jiang Yang : "Hey! Why are you crying?" He actually found it funny as his little sister was crying about not having a boyfriend and not getting married at such age. He thought it as 'how cute!' He controled himself from laughing, then looked at his crying sister and said, "You are still very young to have a boyfriend. In future you will get the best man in this world as your boyfriend because my sister is the sweetest and most beautiful girl in the world. Boys in your class are idiots. Trust me!"

Jiang YuYan : "No brother. I know everyone really hates me. And I know that nobody will marry me." She started to cry again with tears rolling down nonstop and her nose was stuffy too.

Just then a voice disturbed them saying, "Which idiot said that?"

Both siblings' looked in the direction of a voice.

Jiang YuYan : "Boys in my class they....they...." She started to cry even more and couldn't complete the sentence.

Jiang Yang : "Lu Qiang! Now you tell her."

Lu Qiang was standing at the entrance of the patio with one boy beside him. He was wearing a long sleeved grey hooded t-shirt and a black jeans and the other boy was wearing a red t-shirt and a blue jeans. Both walked inside the patio. Lu Qiang sat beside Jiang YuYan at her right side and the other boy sat on the another semiconductor bench opposite to them.

Lu Qiang : "I will marry you" he said and started to wipe the tears on her cheeks. He took out his handkerchief from his pant's pocket and even cleaned her nose with it.

Jiang YuYan : "Really?" She asked looking at him with her teary eyes. The tip of her nose was red because of crying.

Lu Qiang : "Huuu! I will and you can show them how wrong they were!"

Jiang YuYan : "Promise?" And she brought forward her pinky finger to confirm the promise.

Lu Qiang : "Yes! Pinky promise!" He held her pinky finger with his tightly and said, "I'll never ever break it."

She smiled and hugged Lu Qiang, burying her face in his chest and surrounding her both hands around his waist. Lu Qiang too hugged her and patted her head.

Jiang Yang : "See! I told you that the most handsome man in this world will be your boyfriend who will even get married to you. Do you believe me now?" He asked and looked at Lu Qiang saying 'Thank you' in a mute. Lu Qiang too replied in a mute saying 'Welcome' while hugging Jiang YuYan.

Jiang YuYan lifted her head up which was Buried in Lu Qiang's chest to look at her brother and said, "Huuu! I believe you." And smiled.

Jiang Yang : "Then cheer up now. I don't like to see my sister crying like this." And he lightly patted the tip of her tiny nose which was red like a little cherry with his forefinger and then patted her head.

"Hey! I have my new camera with me. Let's take a picture of a future groom and bride with it." That was A boy who came with Lu Qiang.

Jiang Yang : "That's a nice idea Lu Feng." He said excitedly as he was happy to see his sister who stopped crying and was smiling now.

They clicked the pic of Jiang YuYan and Lu Qiang sitting on a table in a Patio. Both were smiling and looked very happy.

Lu Qiang opened his eyes and looked back at that picture. He kept staring at it for a while. He smiled and said, "I guess, it's a time to fullfill that promise." He closed his eyes back and went to sleep, still holding that pic in his hands...
