True enough, the very next day, a gardener was seen working hard in Candy's backyard. He cut the lawn, trim the bushes, pruned the flowers, and was last seen planting a tree.
Miss Lim went out into her own backyard. Curiosity had taken the best of her, and she was determined to talk to the shirtless man.
"Hey there, you," she called out over the fence. The man straighten his back and smiled at her, his mouth wide and his white teeth were like something from an advertisement for toothpaste.
The young man walked over to the fence and said, "Hello Miss Lim. Nice to see you again, and I notice your banana tree is still going strong. You must be taking good care of it."
Miss Lim remembered him now, yes, he was that young man ten years ago who told her a secret to the tree. But there were now many questions in her mind. She started to ask a question, but there was a shout from Candy and he moved away.

That night, before she went to bed, Miss Lim again stuck the needle into the banana flower. She made sure she had the other end of the red string. When she got into bed, wearing her best negligée, she made sure the red string was tied to her toe.
She had only fallen asleep ten minutes, when strong arms held her. The heavy body of a hard man got on top of her and crushed her into orgasms.
Miss Lim tried to talk, to take a look at his face, but it was too dark. Again the earthy smell of his mouth filled her when he kissed her. All the small talk and questions disappeared into the night air.
