The way the sky and the water touched at the horizon looked so breathtakingly beautiful. The reflection of soft glow sunset that started to colour the sky reddish and purple on the water surface made it even more amazing view. He would never get bored with this kind of view he had grown up with. Still vivid in his mind of the younger version him would sit here at the same spot with his brother enjoying the sunset after some swimming. It was one of his favourite past time. Other than sitting here watching the sunrise with his beloved.

Taking his eyes ogling more of the water surface as he remembered himself swimming around with his friends, his eyes fixed on few pinkish purple that bloomed perfectly near the port he was sitting. The flowers had been their pride thorough and thorough.

Lotus.

He closed his eyes with small sad smile tugged on his lips. He might never admit it out loud but he loved the flower like really loves it. No matter as a flower, a food (his sister's secret recipe), its meaning or the pride of his region, he loved lotuses.

'You're a lotus yourself, my dear. Growing in the hardship but shine the brightest.'

He smiled at the memory. His eyes opened and took in the blooming lotuses view. Admiring it never got old, he always thought.

"You said I'm a lotus when you caught me staring and muttering the flower meaning of lotus after you ask about it. I wonder... what flower would suit you?" He said to no one. He's currently alone, sadly. "Will I still shine after this hardship because I have lost you, my sun?"

A tear slipped from his both eyes. Sniffling, he wiped away the wetness didn't want to get caught. But he's late. There's already someone stood behind him and saw the tears.

"A-Die." He jolted at the call, hastily wiped any evident of his tears. He turned and smiled. A 20-summer old male stood few steps behind him. He must be too engrossed in his thought that he didn't hear or notice the footsteps of the younger male. His lotus.

"A-Lian. Why are you here, son?" He said smiling bitter-sweetly. The younger male stared at his father.

"Rulan-ge had arrived. Everyone is here." The statement made him nodded and he got up from his sitting. "Are you okay, A-Die?"

"I'm fine."

"You're thinking of baba." It wasn't a question but a statement. His face changed slightly before he smiled at the younger male. Standing to face each other, now that they're at the same height, he tapped the younger male's shoulder. Eyes were dull and smile never reach his eyes.

"Let's go. We have things to do, Jiang Lian. It will be a long night and day tomorrow." He said and walked first. The younger male, Jiang Lian just watched his father's back. He chose not to prod into the topic anymore. After all, only for today, Jiang Lian will oversee it and let his father engulfed in his longing. He will only let it go for today, the death anniversary of his baba. He will witness and bear the sight of the dimmed purple lotus that lost its sun that is his father who lost his light, his baba.
