Searching For You

Chapter 20

The Prince did not think that someone who seems silly most of the time could be so sharp.

Leo could not hold it in anymore, he burst out laughing, "Ha ha ha... Nice reaction CEO Lue Han. Just kidding. What is it that you have planned for us? Mind to share?"

During the whole time Leo was speaking, Keo was observing for any odd changes in vibes and facial expression of the couple sitting left of them. He felt the vibe from Lue Han"s colleague changed a little but not drastically enough to suspect anything.

Lue Han calmed down and nervously said, "Ha ha, CEO Leo, you are quite the joker. A great play is going on right now. It is one of the most popular play ever played by Allusion Theater. It was in high demand that they have to play this show for three weeks straight. Tomorrow will be the last day of the three weeks. After that, we will drive out for about an hour to Crystal Cliff Botanical Garden. I"m sure the ladies will like it."

Yu Sha smiled happily. She could not wait. She loves places with beautiful sceneries but a play is also entertaining too.

About an hour later, they arrived back to the cities. Allusion Theater is center in the heart of the cities so they were stuck in traffic for a while. It was almost time for the show to start when they arrived. As the driver pulled up to the drop off entrance, the big boss of Allusion Theater was waiting anxiously for them. The boss greeted and welcomed them with a couple of staff behind him. He then led the group via the back route up to the middle secluded VIP room.

All the seats where facing the big window towards where the stage is. Each seats have its own table with drinks and food on it. The gla.s.s window is like a magnifying gla.s.s. The stage looks closer than in actuality so people in the VIP rooms can see the play closer as if they were sitting front seat row.

Everyone took a seat. Yu Sha sat at the very end to the right. Su Na took the seat next to her. Keo and Leo sat the seat next each. Lue Han took the next seat next to Leo. The Prince and Kao Sheng sat on the last two seats left of the room with Kao Sheng at the very left end.

About five minutes later, the lights in the room went out. All the attendees quiet down until the auditorium room went silent. The stage darkened and the curtains rolled up.

Before the first scene comes into play, a voice narrates the introduction loud and clear in the overhead speaker, "Before our country becomes the country it is now, there was a legend from hundred thousand years in the distant past of a couple madly in love. They were separated during wartime and continues to search for each other for as long as they live....

The lights came on to the stage, the first scene was of an older lady wearing brothel clothing dragging a young girl about 8 years old running away from their pursuers across the stage.

They both panting out of breath, they hid behind some bushes. Five men chased after them with their weapons. The men stopped in the middle of the stage searching angrily at every tree stumps and bushes for the two girls. As the men approached closer to the bushes were the girls were hiding, the older girl whispered to the younger girl, "Once when I go out to distract them, you run. Run as fast as you can, as far as you could. Never turn back. Live as a free person, not chained or bound by any rules or laws."


The younger girl shook her head, tears streamed down her face refusing to go alone. The older girl urged, "Go." She then picked up a rock and threw the rock away from them. The rock hit the tree not far away, which distracted the men from approaching them. The men ran over to the tree. It was then that the older girl ran out and away from the bush. Three men ran after the older girl while two searched for the younger one.

The older girl picked up a tree branch off the ground and started screaming and swinging the tree like a mad man. By doing so she created a few seconds of distraction for the little girl to escape. The little girl got up and ran away. When the men heard a noise behind them, they noticed it was the younger girl. Two men started running after the little girl.

Back to the older girl, one of the men took out his sword and tried to slice the branch in half. As he took the swing, the older girl ran towards the sword and she was sliced across the front. Blood came gushing out and she slumped forward down to the ground.

The little girl ran as fast as she could, she briefly glanced back and only saw the older girl slumped forward. Tears still streaming down her face, she continues running and jumped right into the river with a strong current.
