7 Using The Past As A Plan

Liu Rushi looked at her small house. It was good. Even though it was small it gave a feeling of completeness and love. It never felt empty to Liu Rushi. She looked at herself in the small makeup mirror and cleaned her face with a tissue.

She looked at the black SUV's parked near the entrance of the house. She knocked on the door and her mom opened the door. "Ahh, My daughter came. Come in, Liu Rushi. We have someone waiting for you."

Liu Rushi entered the house confused. She was wondering 'Who is gonna meet me? Ohh, maybe its Feng Mian.' With a smile, she entered the house.

As soon as she entered she was shocked to see a young guy sitting elegantly on the sofa in their living room. She got so furious. She felt anger boil up within her.

And so, she quickly took long strides towards that young man and grabbed him by the collar "You.... You.. You. How adamant can you be, huh??" She pushed him on to the sofa. She then continued "I had rejected you. Why did you come here again, huh?? Is my rejection not enough for you?? Do you think my parents are a fool?? Do you think they will accept an adamant and sticky guy like you??"

Meanwhile, her parents were shocked by the sudden change of her daughter. Right now, she was calm and now she was all furious and agitated.

When they saw that Liu Rushi was going to punch the guy, her parents quickly grabbed her hands and pushed her aside. Liu Rushi screamed "Mom... Dad.. Let me go!! Today I'm going to kill this guy. He has done enough already."

With that she again ran towards and tried hitting him. Then suddenly her dad shouted "STOP IT!!!"

Liu Rushi jumped in fear listening to her dad's scream. Her dad came near her "Liu Rushi, Stop it right now!! I don't want anything of this sort. Don't make me hit you." Listening to her dad, Liu Rushi fumbled and stepped back. She got frightened at his angry voice. He was never angry like this.

She then looked at the guy who was sitting elegantly and had a blank expression on his face. She clenched her fists tighter and dug her nails deep into her skin to stop her anger. She then bowed at her father and said "I'm sorry Dad. I didn't mean to do it. But this guy has been back of me lately. Proposing me and saying shameless stuffs. I even rejected him, but even after being rejected, he is having the guts to come and speak to you all."

Liu Rushi looked at him with a look to kill and then again turned to her parents.

She looked at her parents, they had a confused look on their face. Her mom spoke in a confused manner "What are you talking about, Liu Rushi?? Why does he need to propose you when you and him are already engaged??" The moment Liu Rushi heard her mom speak, she couldn't help but look at the man again. He was the same person with whom she had slept, then how come her parents were saying that she was engaged to this guy??

She then voiced out saying "He is my fiancée??"

Seeing her parents nod, she asked again "How can it be? No way... This was the guy with whom I had slept mom. The flower shop guy, Zhang Wei. The one I told you guys about. Because of him only, we are not able to earn much money. How can you guys say that he is my fiancée?? Didn't you guys say, that I'm engaged to a businessman??" She then took a long breath and looked at her parents worriedly.

Her parents were about to speak when they saw that the man waved his hand indicating that he will speak. He got up from the sofa and tied his button of his blue coat. He then straightened his collar and looked at Liu Rushi with cold eyes.

The moment, Liu Rushi felt his cold eyes on her, she got chills down her spine. Then she heard him speak "I don't know what you are talking about Miss. But the manner with which you behaved with me, I didn't quite like that. Do you think that you can blame someone else for something the other person has done?

I didn't expected this from the soon to-be-wife of mine. And as for the fact, that you slept with someone, that's more like an annoying thing. I didn't expected this also." He spoke so coldly that, Liu Rushi couldn't balance herself. She felt that she will soon fall on the ground due to the immense fear.

She looked in his eyes and the cold pair of blue eyes gave her another fear. She shuddered and spoke in a low voice enough for her parents to hear "But, mom and dad, He is Zhang Wei and I'm sure of that. I have seen him completely from near and I know how he looks so this is really him."

In her mind she had this thought 'This guy!! How can he be so rigid?? Disguising himself as someone else and taking up the lead huh?? He is real bad.' Just as she was thinking, her thought went to another place and she ended up making a plan in her mind 'Yess!! This plan will be great. Let's see how you will handle it Mr. Zhang.'

She imagined herself doing a fighting pose and then with an apologetic look yet innocent look on her face she spoke "Mom, Dad. Actually the reason for me blaming him for wrong things is something else..."

Liu Rushi took a long pause and looked at her parents reaction. Her parents reacted in a calm and also worried way. Then she turned her head towards the guy standing, his expression was just the same - A Poker Face. She then knelt down in front of her parents.

The sudden kneeling down of their daughter makes them step back. They look at her with worry and come closer to one another. When they were about to make her stand, Liu Rushi spoke "Mom, Dad. The thing what I want to say is, that... that.. I... I...love someone else. And...and.."

She paused and then looked at her worried faces of her parents then looked at the tall figure who was now leaning on the white colored wall. Though his expression changed for a fraction of second, Liu Rushi was able to catch that.

She was able to notice the slight change in his expression - from a poker face to a mixed pair of emotions like worry, sadness, pain, regret and then back to a poker face. Liu Rushi smiled inwardly knowing that her plan was proceeding well. Without any further or due she continued "And the guy whom I love is; well.... well, you guys know him and even he also loves me."

Upon knowing the reason why their daughter was kneeling down, her Dad got a little angry and spoke "How can you??? You Knew...." before her dad could continue, she cut him off saying "I know Dad. I'm engaged, but this feeling of love happened long back. A long time when I first saw him.

I wanted to talk to him, but I never got to know who he was and that's why I kept quiet and accepted the engagement never knowing he would come back. And when he came back, the feelings which I had blocked in my heart have opened once more." With that, she ended up crying. Small droplets were forming at the corner of her eyes and then they started to fall.

Liu Rushi didn't knew that her first love would really make her cry after all this years. She had thought that she will use her true story as a plan to find out the truth, but who knew that she was still loving that guy and had loved him this much that she would end up crying.

Liu Rushi had really loved that guy, it was love at first sight, but she never knew that that guy would come back out of nowhere and turn out to be the flower shop guy. She had loved Zhang Wei for all these years.

When Zhang Wei had proposed her, she wanted to accept it, but she didn't accept it for some reasons.

Firstly, she was engaged.

And secondly, the way he proposed her, she knew that he was not saying it with love but just to earn her body. The way he had described her body made her heartbroken. She never had thought that he will see her in such a way.

Liu Rushi had seen Zhang Wei in her high-school days. She was 15 years at that time. She was walking in a park after her school got over and she saw a 20 year old guy sitting on one of the park benches.

He had big black eyes and black hair. He was reading a book and he seemed so focused in reading that particular book, that he didn't notice that a 15 year old girl was staring at him intently.

Liu Rushi was so busy in looking at him that she didn't notice her friend come behind her. She squealed when she felt someone place their hands on her shoulders. And that squeal made Zhang Wei surprised. He closed his book and looked at the side from where the voice came from. But he found no one.

So he again, went back to reading. After Liu Rushi screamed, she immediately kept her hands on her mouth and hid behind a tree. She also took her friend along with her and they both hid behind the tall, wide green tree.

After some time, Liu Rushi was pulled by her friend to the other side of the garden. She turned back and took one last glance at the boy sitting there but found no one. Her heart pained for a bit afraid that whether she would see him again or no.

From the next day onwards, she would come to the same park at the same time and would find the bench empty....

After 7 long years, she was able to see him and felt that her love had again sprouted... But... it was all a waste...completely futile.
