An Unfinished Picture

CHAPTER 11

As the yacht is sailing off,Faye went to talk to the captain and the butler,leaving Yoko to wander on her own.
Yoko went to the bow of the yacht. She raise her head to see the closeness of the yacht to the bridge
Yoko observed the tip of the yacht nearly touches the bottom of the bridge. She continues to keep her head raised.

A tired Hitomi looks down to the river

Yoko and Hitomi eyes meet.

Yoko let out a shriek of surprise

Thinking something might have happened to Yoko,Faye rushed to her side

Faye "Yoko are you okay?"

Yoko "I am fine. I was looking at the antenna tip and I thought that it was going to to touch the bottom of the bridge."

Faye "Oh I was like that before" "I thought the yacht was going to touch the bridge too." "That's normal."

Yoko quickly smiled. She wants to hide the fact that she just saw someone she knows. And that someone is the one that she hoped not to see in Bangkok.

After walking for a few hours, a tired Taro and Hitomi stopped on the bridge to take a brief break. Taro looked at the street signage and matching them with the maps while Hitomi looked at the river below. Just as she leaned to look at the river,Hitomi eyes met a familiar eyes, it's her master Yoko!
Hitomi "Master Yoko!" "I found her!" "I found master Yoko!"
Taro "You are seeing things Hitomi"
But...
A light rose scent was caught by Taro, leaving him excited.
Taro "That perfume scent, I know it anywhere." "It's master Yoko!"
Hitomi "I told you, I saw master Yoko"
Taro "Where is she?"
Hitomi "I saw her..." she points at the river below.
Hitomi  "I saw her on a yacht" "It went..."
But by now the yacht is nowhere to be seen.
Taro "Ohh we were so close!"

Some time later, after enjoying some refreshments on board,they arrived at a private pier at ICONSIAM.  Seeing that Yoko still has trouble walking, in a surprise move...
Faye "Yoko, get on my back" "I will carry you"
Yoko"Are you sure?"
Faye "Yes" "I have carried rice on my back before, I can carry you"
Yoko "Rice bags?"
This just makes Yoko admire Faye more.
Faye pulls Yoko on her back and carry her walking off the plank. A sweet feeling came in Yoko
Faye remembers the days of carrying bags of rice for restaurants in one of her past jobs but she didn't say anything.

Arriving in the mall Faye is immediately recognized by some fans. So in a friendly gesture she went to take some pictures with them,then proceeded with Yoko to a luxury brand.
Faye and Yoko took turn to try out the clothes and accessories.
Some worked(by Yoko's nodding)some didn't(by Yoko's shaking)
Some worked(by Faye's nodding)some didn't (by Faye's shaking)
Sounds of laughter can be heard outside of the change room
At the checkout, Yoko took out her own wallet,and surprised Faye with the whole collection of high tier credit cards.
Faye "Allow me"
Yoko "Don't worry I can pay" "You have done more than enough for me." "I usually spend more in a single shopping trip like this anyways"
Faye is intrigued by the remarks of her lover.
It raised Faye's curiosity about the foreign woman in front her.
Faye thought to herself "Who is she?" "How come she can carry all those cards?" "What does she do anyway?"

Taro " We have been searching for 4 hours along this river"
Hitomi " And over 100 ships too"
Taro "Master Yoko where are you?"
Taro dropped on the ground
Hitomi "Master Yoko please appear to us again" "We beg you "
Hitomi closes both of her palms in a praying position towards the sky.
Taro "Come on Hitomi, let's go back." "It's getting dark, and we cannot see the street signs after dark"
Taro and Hitomi turned their backs just they reached Faye's yacht the ICE PRINCESS and did not see it.
