Our first night

When I woke up, I realized I was on the street. I immediately got up and looked all around me. My whole body was soaking wet, as well as the clothes I was wearing. Suddenly, I remembered what happened to me under the water as well as to the woman who saved my life.

“Lory.” I said. I remember that Lory had the name engraved on her necklace, and I noticed that her necklace was still in my hand. “Then I'm not dreaming at all? But she really saved my life?” I whispered to myself as I stared at her pendant. I tried to find her by my side, but she was no longer there. So, I stood up to find my Wonder woman. I need to return this necklace to her and so that I can thank her as well.

With the number of people I see around, I had a hard time finding her. The faces I see are almost the same, and I am dizzy to find her. But I did not give up and keeps looked for her everywhere. I don't know where I've been, and it looks like I've come so far that almost don't want to walk on my feet because I'm so tired. So, I stopped for a moment and sat to one side while I gasped. In the distance, I saw a woman whose whole dress seemed to be soaked. I suddenly stood up when I realized that she was the woman I was looking for. So, I immediately went to her, but by chance she got in her car.

“Miss, wait a minute! Miss!” I kept shouting, but she didn't seem to hear me, so she started her car. My eyes widened in shock, but I tried to chase her. But who am I to chase a sports car that is even faster than a horse? So, I failed, and I haven’t reached her yet. However, I just thought of another way and took a taxi. I followed her car, even though I had no idea where she was going. Until I stumbled upon a hotel where her car stopped. After she got out of the car, she entered the hotel, so I got out of the taxi immediately.

“Miss!” I called her, but she did not hear me, so I tried to chase her, but suddenly, I was stopped when the taxi driver grabbed me in my left arm.

“Where are you going? You have to pay your fare first.” He told me, so I shook and scratched the back of my head because I had no money to give him. So instead of answering him, I immediately ran inside the hotel. The security guard tried to stop me, but I immediately passed him and as soon as the elevator closed, I immediately went inside, so they could not reach me.

On the fifth floor the elevator stopped, so I went out there as well. I looked for Lory there and not far away I found her.

“Lor—” I was about to call her by her name, but I was shocked when the security guard covered my mouth and held me by the arm once they pulled me inside the elevator again. “What are you doing? Let me go. I need to talk to her.” I struggled, but they just laughed, and they were talking in Chinese Language, so I couldn't understand what they were talking about.

At first, they took me to their main office, and then they handed me over to the police, so I was imprisoned.

“I'm not at fault. Let me out of here! I beg you, let me out of here.” The repeated shouting of a man who was with me inside the jail. I was just quietly lying to one side and staring at Lory's necklace.

“I promise I'll find you as soon as I'm free from here.” I whispered to myself before I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

After twenty-four hours, I was also released. I looked for Lory again everywhere, but as dusk caught up with me, I still couldn't find her. My stomach was almost boiling with extreme hunger, and my throat was also drying up with thirst. I would rather not repeat what I did the other day because I know it's bad, and I might die early without discovering who I am and what happened to me, so I don't remember anything.

When night came, I still could not find her. I won’t be surprised if I can’t find her in just one day because China is big and vast. Unless destiny casts us off and if she is the woman destined for me.

Despite my walk, I bumped into a woman. I immediately smelled the alcohol from her, and she looked very drunk. She almost fell, but I caught her immediately behind her and her face was exposed in front of me.

“Lory?” My eyes almost widened in shock when I realized that she was the woman I had been looking for. I smiled when I stared at her, and I couldn't believe I would see her again.

Is it really destiny? Or is she the woman destined for me?

I was stunned by her beauty, and I was suddenly nervous in front of her, so I couldn’t speak in front of her. My heart was beating so fast, and I felt like it was getting hot. So, I immediately let her go, and I avoided looking her in the eye once I bowed.

“Will you marry me?” She told me, so I quickly looked up at her with a trace of astonishment on my face. I don't understand why my mouth seemed to be sewn up, and I couldn’t speak in front of her. I just pointed to myself and looked around to make sure she was referring to me.

“I said, marry me.” She added that once she approached me, and she pulled my clothes, and then she kissed me on the lips.

I looked like a rock in front of her that hardened and could not move. It was only a moment, but it left a huge impact on me. She still not satisfied with what she did to me, and she even took me by the hand and carried me to somewhere.

I simply went with her without saying a word and simply stared at her. Until she took me to a bar. She invited me to drink alcohol, but I refused and just ate the food she ordered because I was so hungry. But I noticed there was no water there, so I was forced to drink a beer. At first, I didn't like the taste of beer, but I didn't realize that I was drinking more of it. So, I got drunk, and she got even more drunk. I feel like it was my first experience to drown in alcohol and go to that kind of place. I don't even know what I'm doing and where we're going now. She just took me in to a building while she was crying and kept telling them all that she loved me, and she couldn’t live without me.

I just stood next to her those moments. Quietly and holding her hand as she begged the man in front of us to marry the two of us. I smiled and bowed because I was ashamed of what she was saying. I didn't expect that the first time the two of us met, she would fall easily for me. Furthermore, I also didn’t expect her to feel so deeply about me that she almost knelt down and begged me to just marry her.

But it appears that the man agreed and handed us some papers. He handed me a pen, and he pointed to me where I was going to sign. I didn't read the whole thing on that paper, as long as I signed the marriage contract without knowing it. The next thing I can remember is when we went to a hotel. That’s where the things that shouldn’t have happened that night happened. Our every move became aggressive towards each other. Our bodies were both hot, and we were both drunk.

So, when the morning came, we were both shocked to realize we were both naked and nothing remembered what had happened to us last night. All we knew was that we had a one-night stand. She was furious to found out that I was just a stranger guy who was penniless and worthless. I can't blame her because I know I made a mistake too. But as she was taking a bath in the bathroom, it suddenly flash backed to my mind. That was when we signed the marriage contract. Because of that, I got dressed right away and ran out of the hotel.

“She will definitely put me in jail when she finds out about the marriage contract.” Fearing that she might imprison me, I first walked away from her and hid somewhere.

I was just stunned when I felt the rapid beating from my heart. My heart always jumps with excitement when I think of her, and I don’t regret that she is the woman I married. But I knew she would hate me and push me away because I was a nobody. I don’t have money, I don’t have my own house, I also don’t have my car and in other words I am a beggar with no memory of my true identity.

So for her to accept me, I had to find my true self. I need to know who I am and what kind of person I am. Where do I live and if I come from a wealthy family, so then she will like me too.
