Reminiscing of the Heart
Chapter 1 - Prologue
In the richer part of Beijing, a large Japanese looking 3-storey house stood along a quaint Chinese street. The house was a white wash colour, with balconies on the top two floors. In its large garden, cherry blossoms grew, which are rare in China and was lined with tall hedges and rose gardens.
Disturbing the peace of the street, a young girl came rushing home in an excited manner. Still in her Chinese school uniform, she ran around the house, looking for her mother.
"Muumm!!!" called Ying Fa, her face flushed and green eyes sparkling. "Where are you? I have something really really important to tell you!"
At 15 years old, with long black hair, large green eyes, Teoh Ying Fa she was the envy of many girls at her Beijing High School. Her silky black hair and perfect Chinese features had been inherited from her father, but her spectacular green eyes just like Ying Fa's beautiful Japanese mother.
Though she was one of the shorter people in her year at only 154cm tall, she seemed to dominate nearly all girls, not only in her beauty, but with her intelligence and beaming personality. She was very popular, but did not realise that many boys wished for her to go out with them. But they all knew, Ying Fa had eyes for only one special boy.
Finding her mother in the kitchen, Ying Fa broke out in a stream of words, "Ohmygod mum, todaythatboyaskedmeoutandandandireallylikehimandheislikeperfectandandand.... ........!"
Teoh Sakura,looked at her daughter and smiled. Born in Tomoeda, Japan, Sakura moved to Beijing when she was 18 to study law. Her best friend for 40 years, Tomoyo had married Hiigarazwa Eriol 20 years ago and they had followed her when she moved. At law school, Sakura met Scott Teoh, and they dated for 5 years before marrying when she was 27. A year later, Ying Fa's older brother Ming was born and 2 years later Ying Fa was born.
Sakura was very happy in her marriage. Scott was a loving father and husband and she had no regrets in marrying the boy that had won her heart all those years ago. Though she was now 43, Sakura dressed in the latest fashions and was still stunningly beautiful. Born in Japan, she looked totally different to all the neighboring ladies she knew. Sakura had brown shoulder length hair, perfect, delicate features and stunning emerald eyes. She was slim and still had an innocent way about her, just like when she was younger.
"Ok ok OK!!! Ying Fa, calm down. Now start again, but slower please," Sakura said interrupting her daughter's ramblings.
Taking a deep breath, Ying Fa started again, "Well today, that boy I really really like asked me out to the movies. And I said yes. But can I, can I???"
Smiling again Sakura said, "Well, you can go................as long as I can tag along!"
"WHAT?!? Muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuum!" groaned Ying Fa.
"I was joking!"
"YES!!!!!!!!!" squealed Ying Fa. "Hoee, what am I going wear?!?!" and rushed out of the room.
"What's his name?!" called Sakura after her excited daughter.
"LI XIAO LANG!!!"
*Li Xiao Lang? Is it just me or is that a mighty coincidence. And of all days?* thought Sakura as she sat there speachless. She had stood there in shock after Ying Fa had told her the boy's name and finally slumped onto a red stool next to the kitchen bench.
Pulling herself up, Sakura walked slowly up the flight of stairs, leading to the master bedroom. Decorated in baby blues, the bedroom was very modern, except for a small jewellery box in the bedside table. The box looked nearly 100 years old, with intricate designs of leaves, carved into the dark pine wood with gold trimmings. The box had originally belonged to Sakura's grandmother, but it was passed down to generation after generation, always holding its owner's most prized possessions and secrets.
Sakura sat on her bed next to the bedside table and sighed. She lifted her necklace over her head, and with the lone silver key that was hanging of it, she opened the box. Inside were three, very worn photographs, a chain and right at the bottom there was a old diary carefull wrapped and protected in maroon fabric. She took the first two photographs out very carefully and lined them next to her blanket and stared at the faces each photograph held.
Lifting the first photograph closer to her eyes, Sakura saw her mother, father, brother Touya and Sakura wore huge smiling faces and were seated on the front step of their old Tomoeda home in Japan. Sakura's father had his arms around his wife, and Touya had his right hand in bunny ears behind a 6 years old Sakura's head. Sakura laughed to herself and mumbled, "Little kaijuu........."
In the second photograph, very wet Tomoyo and Eriol were chasing Sakura whom held a small video camera in her hands. Sakura started to chuckle quietly, remembering that photo. The three of them had supposed to be doing an assignment on amphibians in a lake environment, but Tomoyo and Eriol had managed to fall into the lake instead. Taking Tomoyo's video camera out of her bag, Sakura had taped the whole thing because she wanted to pay Tomoyo back for all the times she had taped very embarrassing moments.
Lifting the diary out of its place at the bottom, Sakura sighed. She flipped open the cover. There was only one entry in it, but it filled nearly half of the diary. Tears fell out of Sakura's eyes as she recalled, exactly 25 years ago, why she had sat and written, pouring her whole heart into the now aging pages.
