It is in 1994 that I saw her last. After she heard that
I had come back to china, she was very happy and hurried to my home and
thereby invited me to her wedding ceremony. I was so excited, because I had
been away from this city for thirteen years and haven't had any chance
to take part in any wedding ceremony. Besides, it was her first
marriage. She was a forty-five years old lady and a very successful
businesswoman.
That day, I got up very early and
made up my face and then dressed up beautifully. I waited for her to
pick me up.
When we got to the restaurant. I was amazed that it was
so big beautiful and that was so crowded. My friend took me to a
spacious room where she was going to entertain. She asked someone to take care
of me and then she left. I didn't know anybody else in the room. When I
saw my name card on the table No. 4, I went there and sat at it. The different dishes were
brought to the table and they were so delicious. As soon as I saw the
big Crab, I could no long help myself and forgot my manners. I ate until my stomach couldn't
hold any more food and soon I had to go to the restroom.
When I came back
from the restroom. I found the dishes had changed and the guy sitting
next to me was gone. I just kept eating. While I was busy helping myself,
a man came to the table and very politely told us that the bus was
waiting outside and that bus would take us to the bridegroom's
home.
It took us forty minutes to get
there. The house was huge with a garden full of flowers. I was so full and decided to go
for a walk in the beautiful garden. So, I went to the garden with an old
man who was also a bridegroom's friends. Before long, a guard came to us
and said that the bride would make a speech and after that he would
invited us to a show, We hurried to the big living room and I saw a
beautiful young lady standing on the stage. I asked the old man, ¡°Who is
this lady?¡± He stared at
this young lady with his eyes wide open, ¡° You don't know this girl? She
is the bride! How beautiful she is!¡± He said that without looking at
me. I looked at him and found there was nothing else in his eyes, but
that lady. ¡°Hey! He's such an old man.¡± He looked as if he were going to
eat her up with his big eyes.
Suddenly, something came into my mind, ¡°Gosh, this bride is not
my friend.¡± Only at that
time did I come to realize that I had entered the wrong room and had sat
at a wrong table after I came out from the restroom. No, wonder, they had changed
dishes and that the guy sitting next to me was gone! Now, I had to find out how to
get home.
