I walked deeper into the valley. Until I was ceased by the view engulfing me. The canopy of tress, sun rays glowing my face through the small inns , that's allowing them to trash pass through the canopy. I could breath cold fresh air. 

Is it a place where Gods live? Or maybe he's right. This place can be the healer. It can make us calm and also give the serene beauty it adorns. I have never seen anything as gorgeous as this place. 

Soon I was reminding myself about my man. Why was all this happening to me? I know Zhan Ge loves me. So do I a lot. God do we deserve to be together. 

The more I think about it. The more I feel pain. I was scared. I don't want to lose him. It feels like a nightmare to think of a life without him. But right now, right at this moment, I have had too much of his dominance. I want to be in peace.

I feel so lonely even when I'm surrounded by people, I feel pain when I smile, I feel hurt the moment I see happy things around. I feel unloved even when people try to say they love me. 

I feel weaker. I feel I'll collapse into the world of hinterland.  The place where there won't be a single hand to lift me , not a single voice to encourage me, not a single thing to make me smile, make me heal. 

I was no more crying. I felt numb. I felt helpless. I felt like dying. Is it my call God? Should I just go and kill myself? It's too hard for me. Can't you see it? 

The world of thoughts never ends. But I felt calm. Much calmer after I visited here.

The twilight was arising and I was scared of the Night. Scared to be alone over here. And again my mind was calling for Zhan Ge. 

Wish he was here to cocoon me in his arms. Wish he was here to sooth me to deal with myself. 

Wish we never fell in love.. And again I can't get over the grudges I'm holding. 

Every thoughts, every needs, every part of me is conflicting. The more I'm trying to deny, the more my heart was trying to get. I irate myself at that moment. 

Well it wasn't like there's nothing good happening between me and Zhan Ge. But why? Why does he just controls me around? Am I his puppet? I'm tired of not being able to do what I love. 

Suddenly fear stroked me. The dusk was almost nearing ,cold breeze were blowing. The place was so hushed, that the sound of wind made me shiver. I nearly ran to the other end of the place, from where I began. The more I ran the more scarier it felt. 

I took out my cell to give Yuan a call. I need to head back. I'm scared. Finally I could see the street lights. I felt little calm. But the place was really quiet. I couldn't see anyone around. Almost as if I'm the only live creature roaming around. 

Shoving the deeper lights of the car, soon Yuan reached the destination. With making no more delay I hopped into the car. But I was gentle enough while closing the door behind me. Too gentle that I had to open and relock again. 

"It's okay Sir. You don't have to be so gentle either." 

He said between his soft laughter. I felt he was the angel of this place. His voice was soothing. The more I was with him. The more calm I felt.  Hey ! you all. Don't get me wrong. It's not any lovey dovey feeling. It's just that his gentle nature.

My love and loyalty for Zhan Ge is pure. It'll never go. But suddenly when I realized what he just said, it made me blush as I felt ashamed. I scratched my nape and gave an awkward smile which made him laugh a little more.

"Sir ! are you scared of darkness?"

My eyes widened as he enquired. No other than Zhan Ge and my family knows about this weakness. How come he? And soon again he gave an understanding smile and uttered politely.

"It's fine. I won't be telling anyone. Rest assured."

"But how come you know it? And please call me Yibo."

I uttered still holding that dumbstruck face. But his face was still peaceful. I didn't see him arching his brows as if he has answer for every of my questions.

"Yibo. Hello I'm Zheng Fan Xing. And you can call me Yuan too. That's my pen name. I use it often in my work place. And I could say reading your face. I could say while hearing you on the phone."

As he answered to me, my eyes widened again. Was I that obvious? No one ever could read me this well. Zhan Ge too sometimes miss out some of my expressions. Did I express too much today? I really felt questioning my ownself.

"Was I too obvious Yuan?"

I blurted out in impatience. And that too I earned an understanding smile before he replied.

"I drive because it's my passion. I like serving people, so I drive my cab temporarily on weekends. Coz I'm busy in my week days. I'm a renown Counselor. And Yibo I hope if you have any problem you come visit me." 

Each thing I was hearing from this person was making me widen my eyes. I couldn't believe the boy. He looks younger than me. He really does. How come he's a counselor. I'm myself in Uni. 

"But you look so young. How old are you?" 

I asked out of curiosity. I really felt amazed. For a moment I felt I found a gem. A gem that can lead me a right path. I really feel lost. 

 "I'm turning 29 this year. How about you?" He uttered with a smile.

"Well no offense but you look even younger than me. How come you became my Ge. Haha! I'm 23. I'm still a Uni kid. "

I gave him an awkward smile. I felt my face turning red. He's older and I kept treating like he's younger to me. He could read me again. And there he was speaking smoothly again.

"Yibo ! it's fine. You can call me Yuan. You don't need to add Ge or any honors to me."

And I smiled back at that. He was actually a gentle person. No doubt he was renown. He deserves to be. 

"So Yibo, where do we go now?"

"I really don't know. I don't want to go back to Zhan Ge. I mean my boyfriend. I don't want to see him. I don't know where else to go."

I said while trying hard not to cry again. I was too tired to be weak. I want to be stronger. I sighed at how things can take the wrong turn at unknown moment of time.

He patiently waited for me to add anything. But as I remained silent, he came up with his idea. 

"How about we walk around and if you want to share anything to make yourself lighter."

He politely offered me , to which I couldn't resist myself. We climbed down the car after he safely parked it at a corner. 

I didn't know to where we were walking. But it seemed to be a long road. He walked ahead , while I obediently followed him. 

"So Yibo! What's your story? Wanna say it?"

He enquired while turning his gaze up on me. I lift my eyes too and stared at him for a while. He was waiting for my permission. I nodded. I wanted to share. 

I have kept it inside me for too long. I wanted someone to know. I wanted help.

"So I fell in love with him a year and a half ago. And it began few months back. Almost six-seven months ago. These possessive issues.............."

A/N : So here Yibo will be sharing his story to Yuan. But I'll be narrating the story as if it was happening right at that moment. So just remember at the back of the mind that Yibo is narrating  it to Yuan. 

Well thank you for supporting my work. I've got amazing readers. I really feel happy.
