The Undefined Love

Carnation Hills is the area situated at ending boundary of Country A. The area is fully enveloped by the beauty of nature and suited to lead a peaceful life and recuperation. That's was one of the reason that made Deming to think of this for his Jie. It will surely help her recuperate.

At this hour of the pitch black night, the only sound audible in the 'Carnation Hills' was the rustling of the leaves, mere sounds of crickets and the flapping sound of wings of the insects. The sidewalk of the roads was covered with dense trees and the only thing visible was the shining feathers of the fireflies.

A black Maybach was ruffling down the streets with the speed which was almost comparable to the speed of lightning. His eyes were full of contempt for himself, "Where is she? She should have just asked me to drop her back? Such a stubborn girl". Though he was pushing the blames on her, he knew well who the here to be blamed.

At this moment his phone buzzed, it was a call. He readily declined the call, to which after few second the phone buzzed with a text message. He didn't bother to give a glance to it. Few minutes passed by, the phone vibrated again with a caller-id. "What is it?", he said in a deep ferocious voice.

"Where are you? I came to Carnation Hills, but you aren't here?" Murphy said gently, though his eyes state opposite story.

"I am not there"

"Then where are you", Murphy asked.

"Don't bother", he was about to hung up the call but he halted when he heard the name of the person, he was looking for.

"Lifen?", Murphy said in the kind of voice as if she was standing in front of him.

Before you can say knife, his foot pressed the brakes of the car. His eyes shone like gold, as if he has found the treasure of his ancestors, "Is she there? Don't let her leave, I will be there in 5 minutes".

Without listening to another word, he hung up the call, making the U-turn back to the mansion.

Just after 4 minutes, the call pulled up outside the mansion. He swiftly stepped out the car and walked inside, "Where is she?". He demanded when he saw Murphy sitting comfortably on the sofa all alone.

His eyes scanned the whole living room to search her but couldn't find her. "Who are you looking for?". Deming gave him a murderous glare. "Oh, you are talking about Lifen. She is not here. Why would be here after all that you have done to her?", he voiced out, his tone holded a slight of contempt.

Deming didn't replied to him, instead walked towards the room. Seeing him leave, Murphy informed him, "Don't worry about her. I have dropped her back at her residence before. She is quite cool girl. She will never hold any grudge against you. So you don't about her next move. She will soon move on in her life".

Deming kept on walking to the room. Murphy waved at hir back, "Since there is nothing more, I will ask your leave, Boss". With that he left the mansion.

Few days passed by, Lifen kept herself secluded herself. Within these day, she has often visited Li Corporation to help her grandfather. She didn't bother to visit Wang Corporation and neither anyone from there called her.

Lifen was reading something, sitting on ther study table when the door was dashed open. She turned to look and soon left a fake chuckle to hide her mood from her soul sisters.

"Wah, what a pleasant morning? You both have come to visit me", Lifen said with a broad smile on her face.

"Why have you hid yourself in this room?" Daiyu chided out loud.

"Hahahaha, what are you talking about? Why would I hide myself and from whom?" Lifen swiftly averted her gaze.

"Because you fear that we would see through you, through your heart", Guang said when she saw her averting her gaze. She already knew that this will happen sooner or later but didn't expected to be this soon.

Daiyu widened her eyes on Guang and then squinted her eyes on Lifen, "Is there something I didn't know?"

"There is nothing that we have hidden from you. You are dumb enough that you missed everything by yourself ", Guang said twitching her lips.

"Okay, if I have missed anything just give me a quick recap of it. Quick .Quick .Quick", Daiyu pouted.

Guang ignored her and walked towards Lifen. her palms rested on her shoulder, "Do you want to tell us about it?"

Tears slipped out her eyes with a single warm touch. She turned her body around, sitting on the chair and hugged Guang, head buried in her stomach.

Guang gently brushed hair to calm her down. Daiyu rushed forward when she saw this happening, "What's happening? Please tell me clearly. Why is she crying here? Did anything happen between you and Deming?"

Hearing his name again, she digged her head deeper in her embrace, tightening her arms around her.

Daiyu went to close the door of the room. Guang held Lifen gently up and help her towards bed.

Few hours passed by, there was a sudden knock on the door, "Girls, I have brought some pasteries for you three. Open the door fast". Mother Wu has brought pasteries for them according to their preferences.

The door squeaked open and Guang came out consciously, "Aunty, thanks for this. We will have it".

Mother Wu nodded her head, "What are you girls doing inside locking the door? And yeah, did you found the reason for Lifen avoiding the college?"

"Aunty there is nothing to worry about her. She is all fine. She is just working on one of the projects given to us and she has applied for scholarship in a university. That's all"

Hearing this Mother Wu relaxed. Since the day, she has returned late at night, Lifen was behaving differently. She has kept herself in the room and when asked she would just say that there are some projects to work on.

Guang got back into the room and closed the door behind her. "So now, what are you planning to do?", Daiyu asked in a gentle voice.

"Are you going back to Wang Corporation?"

"No", Lifen shook her head. Sharing her heart pain with her friends, she was now feeling much better from before. It is said correctly, 'Sharing pain with right people lessens it and sharing happiness multiplies it'.

Lifen stood up, "I have applied for a scholarship. If I succeed then I am going overseas. I think it would be the best choice for my future".

She turned to look at their expression but there was nothing awkward in their express. She knew her friends will always support her decision. She gave a group hug to them.

"What about Deming? Are you going to leave him like that? He has done the worst to you", Daiyu said, her eyes filled with rage.

"No, I won't blame him for anything. He has done all these things because he has loved someone very dearly that it has washed away the silver line of good and the evil. There is nothing to blame him. There is resentment in my heart for him", she said with a insignificant smile on her lips.

"And there is one thing I need to tell you. I have hidden something from you two. If possible, please don't resent me for that. I would have told you about it but...", Lifen was interrupted in between by Guang.

"You don't have to. If you don't feel like telling us something, you don't have to force yourself. We won't ever blame you because we know each other very well. We are best friends forever and nothing can change that".

They shared a group hug again. Lifen knew that good friends were precious jewels of life and she was proud of her friendship. It was as clear as water of Blue Lake.

"Hey, accompany me to the college tomorrow. I need to apply for the transfer certificate", Lifen said breaking their hug.

"When are you leaving? Do Aunty know about your decision?", Daiyu asked.

"It's not this soon guys. And don't tell Mumma about this. I will inform her after the confirmation ", Lifen said while thinking something.
