8 I'm not WORRIED!

On the other side, Nini woke up.

" You are awake. Mr. Liu, she is awake," Jane said.

"Okay. Let me check on her, then tell the guy with her that she is already awake," Mr. Liu said.

"Okay," Jane replied.

"How do you feel?" Mr. Liu asked.

"Where am I? Who are you? How did I get here?" Nini asked.

"You are at Masham Village. We are typical villagers, and my nephews found you and a guy with you at the seaside. How are you feeling?" Mr. Liu explained.

"I just feel a little headache and a bit dizzy," Nini said.

"Okay, drink this, and then you should rest for a while," Mr. Liu said, offering her a traditional medicine he made.

"What is this?" Nini asked.

"It is a traditional medicine I made. It is effective," Mr. Liu replied.

"Okay, thank you," Nini said gratefully.

Meanwhile, Prince heard the news that Nini was awake.

"She is awake! She is awake!" Jane shouted.

Prince borrowed Jane's umbrella and rushed to see Nini.

"Mr. Liu, where is she?" Prince asked.

"She is still in the room. She feels a little bit dizzy and has a slight headache. I already gave her some traditional medicine, and it should reduce her headache. I also treated her wounds," Mr. Liu informed.

"Thank you, Mr. Liu. It is good to meet you guys. You have helped us a lot. Thank you very much," Prince expressed his gratitude.

"You are welcome. We know that you guys are good people, and we should help you," Mr. Liu replied.

"Thank you. Can I check on her?" Prince asked.

"Of course, you can, but let her rest for a while. You should also rest; stay here for a while as it is still raining outside," Mr. Liu suggested.

"Okay," Prince agreed.

Prince went to see Nini in her room.

"How are you?" Prince asked Nini.

"I just feel a little headache and a bit dizzy. And you? Are you alright? Are you injured?" Nini inquired.

"Don't worry too much about me. You should take care of yourself instead of thinking and worrying about me," Prince said.

"Who's worried about you? I don't even know you. Anyway, who are you?" Nini said.

"You don't know me? Then why were you asking if I'm injured? If I'm alright?" Prince replied.

"Maybe because you don't look normal, you don't look alright," Nini said.

"You really don't know me?" Prince asked.

"Why do I need to know who you are?" Nini questioned.

"Do you remember that you said the same thing when we were in my car after Johnny almost hit you?" Prince asked.

"Johnny? Car? What do you mean? I don't understand," Nini said, confused.

"So you really don't remember anything?" Prince asked.

"Who are you?" Nini said.

"I'm your future husband," Prince declared.

"Ewww!!! Future Husband?" Nini exclaimed.

"What's with that reaction?" Prince said.

"If it is for real that I forget you, you will take advantage of me?! Future Husband, Future husband, I would not marry you even if it is the end of the world and even if you are the only man left," Nini stated firmly.

"I knew it!" Prince said.

"What did you know?" Nini asked..

" I know that you are faking it. Your acting skills are so poor. Anyway, enough for chitchat you should take a rest first. " Prince said.

"Okay! Go out!" Nini said.

"Okay, okay you do not have to be that arrogant. Just call my name and I will come running... " Prince said.

"Drama Queen!!" Nini mumbled

"I am a King!!" Prince said.

"Get out!" Nini said.

Prince went out to the room and helped Mr. Liu and Mrs. Liu doing the cleaning because the rain was coming in to their house.

" Mr. Liu, is this the first time that you need to do this?" Prince asks.

" Every time that it is raining we have to do this. Then after the rain we have to go back to the field and see if our crops are still edible." Mr. Liu said.

" Take a rest first and let us have dinner together. Prince can you call your friend? She should eat first before she takes a rest. '' Mrs. Liu said.

" I can just send her the food so that she can take a rest after... " Prince said.

" You can't. In our family we believe that everyone should dine together because if not it will cause the food to sulk. It is difficult for us to wait until we harvest... "Mrs. Liu said.

" It is enough. He does not know. Don't be angry... Prince just called Nini and let us eat together. I hope you understand our beliefs. "Mr. Liu said.

" Okay Mr. and Mrs. Liu. I understand. " Prince said.

Prince asks Nini and they dine together.

" Prince, Nini make yourself at ease. " Mr. Liu said.

" Okay. " Nini and Prince said.

" What are your plans for staying here? "Mrs. Liu said

Nini and Prince keep in silence and look at each other.

" Hmm. After the Typhoon is gone we are going downtown and trying to contact our family and go back. I already asked Adam's Papa and he agreed to bring us downtown. " Prince said.

"I'm not asking you what your plan is, after staying here. I'm asking you what your plans are, during your stay here." Mrs. Liu said.

"Hey! Stop it. We are helping them. Don't ask them for anything. Okay." Mr. Liu said to Mrs. Liu

" We are going to help during our stay. We will be helping you for anything." Nini said.

"Don't mind her words. You need to rest and relax, you do not have to do anything for you to fully recover." Mr. Liu said to Nini.

"I will help, Mr. Liu, you should rest." Prince said.

Mrs. Liu doesn't want the stay of Nini and Prince. On the next day the Typhoon is gone. Mr. Liu asks Prince to go to Adam and Jane and tell them to go to the field. Almost all of the villagers come to the field and check their crops. Some of the rice and corn crops are damaged but they think that some of it is still edible. Villagers get and harvest it and Prince help them then he sees Nini walking toward him with Mrs. Liu.

"Why are you here?" Prince asks Nini

"Where is Mr. Liu?" Mrs. Liu said.

"He is with Adam and Mr. Larry. They will take a look if it is possible to take the road to go downtown." Prince said.

"Did you ask them to do that?" Mrs. Liu said.

"I don't," Prince said.

" I think you are that eager to go back. You do not even show your gratitude to us who help you." Mrs. Liu said.

" I'm very grateful that you help us and I'm willing to help as much as I can but why do you ask Nini to come here? You already knew that she needs to rest, and it is also Mr. Liu's advice. " Nathan said.

" It is her who wants to go with me. Right Nini?" Mrs. Liu said.

" Yes, I'm fine, don't worry about me. Mind your own business. "Nini said

" Are you in a relationship? You are to.. " Mrs. Liu said.

" We are not. "Nini and Prince said.

" Okay, then I agree to Nini, mind your own business Prince! " Mrs. Liu said.

" Let's go! "Mrs. Liu said to Nini.

" Take care! Don't worry. " Nini whispered to Prince.

Prince continues to help the villagers then Jane comes.

" You are here! " Prince said.

" I've been here since that witch told you her nonsense. " Jane said.

" I don't understand why she treats us like that. Is it just because last night I told her that I will bring Nini's food instead of calling her and joining us for dinner?" Prince said.

"Don't mind her. She is just like that. Do you know what, she is deemed as a witch in our village?" Jane said.

" Witch? What kind of rumor is that?" Prince said.

" They said that they always see that woman go to the seaside waiting for a man riding a boat and give her a large black box. " Jane said.

" Does Mr. Liu know it? Is she having an affair?" Prince said.

" I don't know but one time I asked Uncle, he told me that I don't have to believe that rumor. Some of the villagers also say that they also saw Uncle with that witch for a few times. " Jane said.

" So it's not true? " Prince said.

" I don't know but as far as I know that woman, I think she can be that kind of woman and probably my uncle was under her spells when he accompanied her to the seaside. She is a witch indeed. " Jane said.

" Now I found out that you are good at imagining things. I'm an actor and I think you have a great potential to be a screenwriter. I hope we can have good cooperation next time. " Prince said.

" You should also try to be a comedian. Your sense of humor is good. Anyway, where is my brother? " Jane said.

" He is with your Papa and Mr. Liu. They are trying to see if we are able to use the road." Prince said.

"So you are going back." Jane said.

"I guess. If we can use the road." Prince said.

"Okay, I'll go ahead. " Jane said.

"Okay. Bye-bye " Prince said.

Jane left and Prince continued to help the villagers until Mr. Liu, Larry and Adam arrived.

" Prince come here!" Larry shouted.

" How is it?" Prince asks.

" We still can't use the road. It is still dangerous and many trees fall so they are fixing ." Larry said.

" It's Ok. While we can't go back we should repay your kindness. I will help as much as I can." Prince said.

Prince told them that they will stay for the meantime while they can't use the roads and go back.

On the other side Nini continues to accompany Mrs. Liu.

" Mrs. Liu, where are we going. " Nini asks.

" We are going to the seaside. We are gonna meet somebody. No more questions! " Mrs. Liu said.

"Okay." Nini said

Mrs. Liu and Nini walk for an hour without taking a break.

" We are here. There they are. Let's go. " Mrs. Liu said.

" Mrs. Liu, do you have water?" Nini said.

"Later." Mrs. Liu said.

Mrs. Liu talks to two men and gives her a large black box. While Mrs. Liu keeps talking to the two men's Nini faint.

"Hey, Nini what's wrong with you? Help us, help us. " Mrs. Liu said.

After a few minutes Nini wakes up and she finds herself in a room full of peculiar things. She seems to be dreaming. Then she saw Mrs. Liu.

"Mrs. Liu, where are we? Am I dreaming?" Nini said.

"Are you stupid? You faint a while ago so I brought you here." Mrs. Liu said.

"What is this place?" Nini asks.

" Drink this warm water first. It is a long story and I don't want to tell you." Mrs. Liu said.

"Thank you Mrs. Liu." Nini said.

Nini drinks the warm water and she finds that Mrs. Liu is actually a good and nice person.

" Mrs. Liu. Aren't we going to go back?"

" Take a rest. We'll be going back tomorrow." Mrs. Liu said.

" Do Mr. Liu and Prince know? What if they worry?" Nini said.

"Don't worry about them. Take care of yourself first." Mrs. Liu said.

"Mrs. Liu , you know what, I always dream to be a designer, also that is the reason why I am here." Nini said.

"What do you mean?" Mrs. Liu said.

"Since I'm a kid I always listen and do what my parents tell me, but after my graduation I left home, fought and want to pursue my own dream." Nini said.

"Then why are you here?" Mrs. Liu said.

"It is because of bad luck. The plane crash, then I've been isolated on an island and come across a Typhoon in the middle of the sea and then I get here." Nini said.

" Why are you saying to me all of this?" Mrs. Liu asks.

"It is because the moment I opened my eyes I felt your love for designing, I felt your hard work. The moment I see these fabrics, the moment I see this dress, the moment I see this place, I felt it." Nini said.

"You know what, you are the second person been here." Mrs. Liu said.

"Mr. Liu is first?" Nini said.

"Of Course. Who else could it be?" Mrs. Liu said.

"Why?" Nini said.

"What do you mean why?" Mrs. Liu said.

"I mean why you are not sharing your love for design to other people." Nini said.

"I just don't want to. I don't need them to see my design. I love designing and it has nothing to do with other people." Mrs. Liu said.

"Mrs. Liu, can I ask you something?" Nini said.

"Say it." Mrs. Liu said.

"Why did you love designing?"

"I just love it. I don't have other reasons." Mrs. Liu said.

"Okay. Mrs. Liu Can I ask you another last two questions?" Nini said.

"Okay, okay" Mrs. Liu said.

"First How did you fall in love with Mr. Liu?"Nini asks.

" I don't want to answer it. "Mrs. Liu said.

" It's ok. But you have to promise to answer the second question. Okay? "

" Why should I make a promise? Who knows if you are setting a trap. "Mrs. Liu said

" Why are you hiding your talent in designing? "Nini asks.

" It is because I neither don't need to show it. I told you I'm designing and it has nothing to do with other people. " Mrs. Liu said.

" So we are actually different. I like designing because I want, when other people wear the clothes and dress I made, I want them to be confident, I want them to be happy and comfortable. Everytime I draw, everytime I design I also picture in my mind not only how beautiful they will be but also the smile they are wearing that will make them more confident and beautiful. " Nini said.

" Okay, take a rest then. " Mrs Liu said.

After Nini and Mrs. Liu had a talk about their passion. They took a rest and slept while on the other side Prince was worried.

"Mr. Liu do you know where possible Mrs. Liu takes Nini" Prince asks

" Yes. That is why don't worry. They will be fine. " Mr. Liu said.

" I'm not worrying about Mrs. Liu, I'm worried about Nini. What if Mrs. Liu did something to her?" Prince mumbled.

" You should sleep. Maybe they will go back tomorrow. " Mr. Liu said.

" I can't sleep. Mr. Liu can you tell me where they are? I want to go there. I want to check on her. What if?.. " Prince said.

"Prince, do you like her?" Mr. Liu said.

" I don't," Prince denied.

" I think you like her. Look at yourself. Look how worried you are. I'm also like you with Agatha. At first I didn't want to admit that I fall in love to her but look at us now, we are Mr. and Mrs. Liu." Mr. Liu said.

"Mr. Liu do not misunderstand, I'm just worried about her as a friend. I don't like her and it is impossible for me to love her. " Nathan said.

Mrs. Liu and Nini get back early in the morning.

"You are back! Where have you been?" Prince asks.

" None of your business." Nini said.

"You did not know how worried Prince last night." Mr. Liu said.

"I'm not. I just care about myself. I don't have time to mind other business." Prince said.

" Mrs. Liu where are you going?" Nini asks.

" To the kitchen." Mrs. Liu said.

" What would you do? Can I help?" Nini said.

" You don't need to ask because you have to! Remember? " Mrs. Liu said.

" Yes, yes, you are right. You are the best! " Nini said.

Prince wondered why Nini acted as an adorable lady when she was talking to Mrs. Liu.

"What are you thinking?" Mr. Liu said.

"Nothing Mr. Liu." Prince said.

"Okay, stay here at the house and help them. I will go to Larry." Mr. Liu said.

"Okay, take care. Mr Liu." Prince said.

Mr. Liu left and Prince stayed to accompany Mrs. Liu and Nini. Nini helps Mrs. Liu to cook but unexpectedly they run out of LPG so Mrs. Liu asks Nini to cut some woods and logs for them to use in the entire day. It is hard for Nini to cut the large logs then Prince saw her.

" Do you need help?" Prince said.

"Yes. Can you help me cut these large logs? It is so hard for me." Nini said.

"A while ago someone reminded me that I should mind my own business." Prince said.

"Okay. Let's see. I will definitely finish cutting these logs without asking your help. Hmp.." Nini said.

"There is still another way for me to help you. Beg me!" Prince said.

"In your dreams!" Nini said.

Then Nini and Prince heard someone shout.

"Prince n" Jane shouts

" Nini and Prince" Adam shouts.

" Why both of you here?" Prince asks.

" We are here to visit you Prince, and also take a look if Nini is already recovered. You are recovering too fast, now you are good at cutting these logs. " Jane said.

" Nini you should take a rest. Me and Prince will cut these logs. Right Prince?" Adam said.

" No way. I should finish this without asking help from that petty man. " Nini said.

" Then I will do this alone. " Adam said.

" I will help. I'm just kidding Nini. " Nathan said.

" Then let's do it together for us to finish it right away. " Nini said.

" I can't, I don't know how to do that. "Jane said.

" By the way, Prince can you come with me the day after tomorrow? " Jane said.

" Why? " Prince asks.

" Day after tomorrow? It is the day of the lantern festival right? "Adam said.

" Yes, Let's celebrate it together? " Jane asks.

" Okay. The four of us should celebrate it together. " Prince said.

" But.. "Jane said.

" What should we prepare for that festival? "Nini asks.

" Let's make paper lanterns later. " Adam said.

" I have a suggestion let's pair up. Everyone of us should make a riddle in the lanterns then exchange and solve it during the festival. Me and Prince will do it together, then you Nini and Adam will do it together. " Jane said.

" I think I should pair up with Adam then you should pair up with Nini. " Prince said.

" Let's vote up. Nini, Adam what do you think? " Jane said.

" Anyone is fine with me. " Nini said.

" Let's pair up Jane. I think they are more familiar to each other. "Adam said.

" So who is gonna team up? All of us have a different opinion. Nini you have to choose. " Prince said.

" Hmm.. Okay. I agree with Jane. I will team up with Adam. " Nini said.

" Okay, then it is settled. " Jane said.

The three continue to cut the logs and after that they go near to the seaside and start to make their lantern.

" I think we should not do this. It is too obvious." Nini said.

" Okay. " Adam said.

Adam is very cooperative with Nini and they finish their lantern right away. After finishing their lantern.

"We are done." Nini said.

"We have nothing to do here. I will bring Nini to Mr. Liu's house also for her to take a rest." Adam said.

While Prince and Jane can't cooperate well because Jane is giving too much pressure to Prince.

" Prince can you help me with this?" Jane said.

"I don't know how to do that!" Prince said.

"It's ok . I'm thirsty. Can you get my water?" Jane said.

" I almost forgot. Mr. Liu asked me to follow him to the farm after helping Nini. Just finish it by yourself, it's ok with me. I gotta go. Bye bye." Prince said.

" Wait a minute! Prince! Don't leave me alone! " Jane shouted.

Prince ran and left Jane alone.

" Where is Jane? " Adam asks Prince.

" She is doing the lantern. " Prince said.

" Why did you leave her alone? " Nini said.

" I suddenly remembered that I need to go back and follow Mr. Liu on the farm. " Prince said.

"Even Though you have to go back, you should not leave her alone. Especially she is a girl." Nini said.

" You should go back first. I'll just go back and fetch Jane." Adam said.

" Okay. Take care. " Nini said.

"Okay, you too!" Adam said.

Adam fetch Jane while Nini and Prince were going back.

" Why did you agree to partner up to Adam?! " Prince said.

"Isn't it obvious that Jane's like you? Early in the morning she visits you and also she keeps talking to you. It will be awkward if I choose to partner up with her. I know she only wants you to be her partner." Nini said.

"Do you know what? You are cute when you are explaining. Are you jealous?" Prince said.

"I'm not explaining, okay? I'm just stating the fact." Nini said.

Nini and Prince got an awkward feeling at that moment. As they go back Mr. and Mrs. Liu noticed that Prince is always giving a hand to Nini when she needs help unlike the other day.
