It seemed that they were the only two volume in the whole world…\r\nYu had got into a big trouble. Those days without Paul were lengthy and lonely. Every time when she thought of the time being with Paul, every time when she thought of the words Paul told her on her birthday, every time when she thought of the promise made by Paul… it was really a kind of twirl! Nothing would be sadder than two people who love each other so much being separated. Paul had bypast for nearly a year already. In these days, Yu could only communicate with him by writing letters. If it was possible, Yu would phone him. They missed each other a lot and their love never stopped growing.\r\nSometimes, when Yu was in a jerry-built moment, she wondered if the relationship between her and Paul could alimentation long. Paul was in Hong Kong whereas she was in Taiwan. She promised him she would release many many letters to him, plainly was it enough to maintain their love? Would their love be a â€Å" concisely got, soon gone” one? He promised her he would connect her when he got enough money, but was it a joke? Would it be fulfill? Hardly could Yu see her future through with(predicate) a mist. Anyway she would wait for Paul.\r\nYus mother noticed her lady friends suspicious acts, having checked her daughters daybook and letters, she knew that her daughter had fallen in love with a guy called â€Å"Paul”.

You never respect me!” Yu cried, â€Å"I dont understand why you never give me the license to do what I want to do!”\r\nMother bemused. Never could she think that her daughter would talk to her in this way. The â€Å"cold war” between Yu and her mother thus stony-broke out. They stopped talking to each other for nearly half month. Yus let, who was always a clam but a listen reader, understood everything clearly and tried to do something rebuilding the relationship between Yu and her mother.\r\nâ€Å"Yu,” father told her, â€Å"you should tell your mother what you feel. And, if it wad be done, introduce that guy to your mom.” Yu was worried, â€Å"Paul will come to Taiwan again attached week. He said, hes going to marry me…” â€Å"And do you wish to? Are you sure? unite in haste, and repent at unoccupied…” Yus father was shocked, but he unplowed calm. â€Å"I did think about it late before.” Yu said, â€Å"Marriage is a lottery. Once you toy your Mr. Right, you should not give him up.

It is the responsibility for a man to bewilder good care of his family… provide all the best for his family… you know what I mean?” â€Å"I have stable salaries. And, I resilient in a tied(p) in Hong Kong with my mom… though its not very big. I have the efficacy to take good care of my family— Im sure, though Im not rich…” Paul stressed. â€Å"So have you studied in any university… or any secondary school?” Mother was being so mean. â€Å"No,” Paul replied, â€Å"but I dont think that its a big problem— at least, I can earn a financial backing now…” â€Å"Fine. Do you think that Yu can accommodate herself to a strange prescribe? If she goes to Hong Kong with you… I will…” Yus mother couldnt assert her emotion. She was in tears. â€Å"Mom,” Yu also melt into tears, â€Å"I know you love me so much… But the point is, I dont want to marry a person that I know that I can live with; I only want to marry someone that I cannot live without!”\r\nIn silence. Yus father touched her wife on the shoulder, â€Å"let her go… she has the right to choose.”\r\nIn the wedding ceremony, the bridegroom and the bridge were a good advert. â€Å"Yu,” Paul said, â€Å"I will make a good match for you.” Yu smiled, â€Å"later, I can prove to my soda water and mom that, I had made a good match too.”\r\nThis is the end of this story. However, it is just a new start between Paul and Yu. Their own story will continue, until the end of their lives.\r\n'
