1 Prologue

An atmosphere so peaceful,  silence and gentleness rule. Beautify by the golden ball in the cloud, shining gently, revealing It beauty.

The sky shone with mystique elegance, golden silk spread abroad with pride as it's royal garment.

The earth whispers gently to the little ears of children playing in groups,  leaves of different colours drop on the floor as carpet, making a display of rainbow,  celebrating the season.

Under a fresh blooming magnolia tree, women of different beauty who seems to be wives and young maidens  sat, chattering and laughing. 

Far away from the chattering peonies,  the game of go was being played by the men, who might be their husbands.

Each person were enjoying the sweet aroma of the spring.

There was once a theory which says" all good things doesn't last long" and was yet to be proved possible, till now....

" liar!" yup..that's exactly what the theory points at..all good things never last long.

" He lied to me! ha" the one who ruined the almost perfect day for all, never had an hitch of regret but of watery sorrow dripping from his face.

This joy killer,  stood on a mini foot bridge which was built, rather timidly built than carefully, above the sea level.

"He lied to me " incoherently repeating the same words,  same sentences,  words for words, stressing the last word in it. "Ha ha .... I did or he did?" asking no one in particular, since no one will be able to ever answer him, he stared at his reflection below him, his reflection was crystal clear revealing young comely man with clear eyes but a bit swollen as a result of crying for a long time, and a clean skin.

"Does God really exist!"

He cried his heart out till he was satisfied,  it was already sundown before he got his feet up. " Aiya,you don't have to cry..hahaha" he wiped of any sign of salty sadness from his face with the back of his hands.

"uncle will be waiting" he managed to stand firm with his legs which has already grown numb and weak, from sitting to long.

"hel.."

A scream loud enough to reach his hearing,  sounded not to far where he was. It was more or like someone was calling for help but couldn't.

'eh,is someone in trouble' he looked around carefully 'maybe it's just my imagination' he turned to leave; he hasn't lift a foot when he heard it the second time,  this time was clearer than the former.

"someone help"

he saw a piece of purple clothing floating on top of the River, thanks to the fluorescent street lamps."eh, it's nothing, someone else will save you,  not me" he covered his ears with his hands  " not me". he looked around whether there is any other person who might also hear the screen, but as luck can have it, there wasn't, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"c'mon!" he rolled up his sleeves and without thinking twice," splash" he jumped.

He swam through hazy eyes towards the piece of cloth he saw. Finally, he managed to find the person,  who had been drowned and currently, unconscious. "hold on, there"

he pulled the person gently but firmly, ,afraid that the person might feel suffocated or slip from his grip,  along with him as he swam towards the River bank.

"almost there" he noticed a little wooden boat coming towards them. 'I thought I was the only one left... maybe life guard'

he swam towards the boat while gently pulling the person with him.

"Are you okay? " the person In the boat asked while reaching out to take the drowned person from him.

"yes"

They gently placed the person in the boat together. " give me your hand"

"oh" reaching for the stretched out hand;  suddenly, an unknown force from below, pulled him so deep into the river.

In this case,  he is the silver being attracted by the unknown magnetic force, which seems to hold on to his knees, pulling him deeper, all his attempt to swim failed. The force was much more stronger than he.

' Am I really gonna die?' everything became darker as he was swallowed deep into the river, his body became so light as a feather.  'before I s..'  the light in his eyes faded immediately as he was still sinking deep in the dark
