As i know, life had never been smooth for me and that's why I'm always learning lessons. From school, to home, to friends and to relationships. Obstacles after another, from simple ones to those life killing task. What i been through sometimes cannot be described through words or any other symbols. 因为一切都在不言中...That's why I'm telling a story here, for been bored....not just bored but thinking of you! Cloudy looked across at his rival. All the three nurses were around him. Something had to be done to make them look his way. With a deft "accidental" movement he knocked the kidney dish. With a loud clatter, the utensil fell to the floor. They had to look his way now and did. He pointed with pretended helpnessless at the floor. Cindy rushed over with a broad smile and picked it up for him. Then they all came over. He looked across at his rival. Their eyes met; Cloudy saw the dagger in Sunny's eyes and smiled in triumph. He had won again! After they left, he smiled and waved at Sunny again. His heart glowed. Victory was sweet.4pm was visiting time. He looked around at all the ancient warriors and their visitors. As usual, Cloudy and he were the only ones without visitors. He decided he would fix that. He struggled to his feet. Painfully, step by step he hobbled to the bed at the far end. Mary's visitors would talk to him. Unlike everyone else, Mary always had visitors to spare. Not all of them could talk to Mary at the same time so some would talk to him. Of course they did. They asked about his health; his family; whether he had eaten and so on. He felt a glow of pride and looked across at his rival. Sunny could not walk; so he could not "borrow" visitors from other patients. Cloudy saw that he was pretending to read and chuckled to himself. Obviously Sunny was avoiding his eyes. Then he hobbled back to his bed, but not before passing Sunny and giving him a triumphant, gloating smile. Sunny turned away.As usual Cloudy rose at dawn. It was a habit. Birds chirping always woke him up. He closed his eyes and prayed. He prayed that that day too would triumph over his rival. But something was bothering him. It was something nagging; something uncomfortable; something demanding to be addressed. It was about the rivalry. He tried to push the thoughts away but it pushed its way back in. Suddenly, it dawned on him. All this victories were empty. The care of the staffs was just drama. the enquiries by Mary's visitors was drama. They did not really care did they? In one big drama. Tears filled his eyes. He had sinned. He prayed to God for forgiveness. He decided he would put everything right later that morning; no, he would do it immediately. He looked across at Sunny's bed. The curtains were drawn. Obviously he was sleeping. He had to wait till later after all.he smiled at his own cleverness. He had a plan. As soon as it was bright enough, he would walk over to Sunny's bed. He would be direct. He would smile at him. He would apologise for his hard-heartedness. Sunny would understand and apologise in return. They would then laugh heartily over their rivalry. They would become friends. After that they would not have to worry about seeking attention from the staffs or from other patient's visitors anymore. They would have each other. He wondered if Sunny played chess. He decided he probably did. He knew Sunny was intellectual. Did he not read the whole day? Everything would be alright. He smiled to himself again.Then he saw a covered cart coming stealthily into the ward. He wondered whom it was for. he saw it being pushed straight to Sunny's bed. A feeling of emptiness gripped his heart as floods of tears streamed down his face.....
