My One and Only Love
Chapter Two: A Secret Meeting
"So what brings you to our sleepy little town?" Xianghua asked as she set the table for lunch. "Do I need a reason to visit my two best friends?" Maxi retorted, leaning back in his chair. "The truth is I recently returned from a long trip to Japan and I decided to take a little vacation." The hiss of the tea kettle currently hanging in the fireplace pierced the air and Xianghua quickly took it off the hook. She poured them all tea and filled their plates with rice and vegetables before sitting down. "What were you doing in Japan?" Xianghua asked. "Oh, I was just returning favor for an old friend. He needed me to deliver some merchandise to a client in Osaka." Maxi said before inhaling his meal. "I didn't know you were such a good cook Xianghua. Wow Kilik, you must be the luckiest man in all of China." At this comment Xianghua blushed. "My mother didn't only teach me how to fight. She always used to say, that you can impress a guy with your sword skills, but to win his heart, you must also win his stomach." They all laughed before finishing their meal.
After they finished lunch and cleaned up, the three friends sat on the front porch. They sat in silence admiring the beautiful spring weather. Suddenly the sound of a bell being rung three times broke the peaceful silence. "Oh, I didn't realize it was already three o'clock." Kilik said as he stood up. "I need to go into town and take care of some business." He gave a sharp whistle and the sound of hoof beats could be heard coming up the path that led to the lake. Soon Yin Ying was standing beside Kilik waiting for him to mount. "I can't believe you taught Yin Ying to jump over the fence whenever you whistle. You are just to lazy to get him, so you have that poor horse come to you." Maxi said teasingly. Kilik hoisted himself up on Yin Ying's back. "I might be gone for a few hours. I'll see you two later." He began to leave but stopped at the sound of Xianghua's voice. "Wait Kilik, what business do you have to take care of?" He turned in the saddle and smiled at Xianghua. "I'll tell you later. I'm already late as it is." With that he flicked the reins and Yin Ying began to trot down the road. "He's been acting rather oddly lately. I wish I knew why." Xianghua said wistfully as she watched Kilik and Yin Yang fade into the distance. "I wouldn't worry about it. It's probably all in your mind. Now, let's see that amazing garden of yours." Maxi said, standing up and stretching his arms. "Oh that's right. Last time you were here I was just starting to plant the seeds. It's right around this corner." Xianghua led the way to the garden.
Meanwhile with Kilik…
Kilik rode up to the darkened building and dismounted. He tied Yin Ying's reins to a nearby post and knocked on the door. The door opened and he walked in. "I'm so glad you were able to get away." A female voice said. "Yeah, but I think Xianghua is becoming a little suspicious. I don't know what I would do if she uncovered our little secret." The sound of laughter filled the room. "Don't worry; as long as you don't tell her anything, our secret is safe." Kilik nodded before sitting down at the table in the middle of the room. "I hate keeping things from Xianghua, but she can't find out about our meetings, Seong Mina."
