I SEEK YOUWhen the first ray of sun entered my room through the window, I opened my eyes and looked at the alarm clock. It was already 8 o'clock! "My God!" I at once bounded off the bed, rushed to the bathroom, brushed my teeth, washed my face and changed clothes. While doing these, I was murmuring again and again: "hurry up! Otherwise I will be late for the first date!" I have been looking forward to the day, with the expectation that it is certain to come, when the man named ken, whom I have contacted on the net for 1 year but have never met, stands before me and says "hi" to me.I used to feel that it was virtually impossible to be a true friend to someone whom I never met. How wrong I was! For 1 year, through my contact with ken on the net, I have altered my worldview, transformed the way I think, and, most of all, reduced my level of cynicism about what is possible in the arena of human relationships.Ken, who is broad-minded and well educated, is the first person I met in the ICQ chatroom. Knowing that he is a Taiwanese, I immediately picked up some sensitive topics on the relationship between Taiwan and the mainland. To my surprise, he answered all my questions in a decent manner. He believed that the future would come to be globalized, so it is not important what the relationship will be like. How enlightened he is! With the good impression of him, I decided to keep contacting him. By exchanging the personal information, I know something about ken: an undergraduate student of Qinghua university in Taiwan, good at sports and playing piano, loves travelling. In the days following, we exchanged our thoughts and opinions on life, on ideals and on study. We found we have many mutual interests, hobbies and business. It became a routine that we had to have a talk in the chat room every day, sharing our dreams, happiness and sadness together.some topics we picked up went like these:"Miwa, the midi you sent me is wonderful. It contains an oriental taste. I like it.""I'm glad you like it. I know that you are good at playing piano. I sincerely hope that you can play for me one day.""The day will come. Let's look forward to it."…"Miwa, good news. I won the tennis match by 6:2 and 6:4 today.""Wow, congratulations! Ken, you are quite excellent!"…"Hey, Miwa, you are always busy. Today is Sunday. What are you up with exactly? Dating?""I've told you I don't have a boyfriend?""A nice girl like you has no boyfriend? I can' t believe it.""A cute boy like you has no girlfriend either. I can't believe it either."…As we talked further, we know more about each other. I found that talking with ken on the net is the best thing I did every day. I thought I was fortunate to find a confidant.Six months later ken told me that he would leave for Australia, so we had to depart for a few days. After ken's leaving, I couldn't help hanging around in the chat room but was depressed after that. I felt distracted."What's wrong with me?"
At length, I met ken again on the net. "Hey, Miwa, I'm back. How are you doing? It's being a century not to see you. I miss you VERY VERY MUCH! And you? …>_<…""So do I. what dose that "face" mean?""It means I want to say something that I dare not say.""Tell me!""Not now.could you leave me your phone number?""87654321"Christmas was coming . I received a mail from ken written on a printed paper. It said,"I used to worry that you will escape from me if I told you the truth that I love you. But now, I must let you know. You are the first one whom I love so deeply inside. My love for you fills my heart. Nothing in the world is the same. Will you accept me?"I was amazed and thrilled at reading the words. I read them again and again, bursting with joy and replied," who would refuse such a generous, good-hearted young man?"…Yesterday morning, the phone rang in my room. To my surprise, ken was at the other end of the wire. "Miwa. I will go to Shanghai tomorrow. On the way, we will have a stop in Guangzhou for one hour from 9am to 10 am. Would you like to meet me at the airport?"Hearing the news, I was wild with joy." I can at last meet him face to face!"…Now, I was rushing to the airport. Unfortunately, I was nearly half an hour late when I arrived. I directly ran into the waiting room, repeating these words silently."1.76 tall, blue T-shirt and black jeans." I looked from this side to that side, and that side to this side, but each side disappointed me. I look at my watch again and checked the clock in the room at the same time. Yes, it was half an hour late. At this moment, I found I was extremely disappointed. My eyes were filled with tears. At that moment, I heard a vague voice," excuse me?"But I was too sad to give any immediate response. " Excuse me?"This time, the voice became louder and clearer. I turned and found a guy whose eyes were staring at me. " Are you… Miwa?"I blinked my eyes, mouth half-opened. "Excuse me?" was my response."Are you Miwa?" at length, I turned to reality."Yep-" I answered instinctively. Then I took a glance at this person, from his face to his feet. Then I felt that guy's eyes resting on my face, smiling. He seemed to be studying my face, my expression and even my mind. I couldn't help taking a glance at him once more. Suddenly, two words appeared in my mind, "blue T-shirt, black jeans" yes! It's right. This guy was in a blue T-shirt and black jeans! "You are … ken?!" that guy said nothing, but stood still smiling and staring at me. I could see mildness and jolliness in his eyes. "Oh, ken!" I screamed. My tone was so high that it made an echo in the room, "ken! Ken! Ken!"The tears, which went around in my eyes, now, dropped out, but they were not the tears of disappointment, but they were not the tears of disappointment, but of extreme joy and excitement."Are you really ken?""Yes, Miwa, why?" ken saw me weeping, a little confused. "Why, Miwa, when I found the arm of the clock pointed at 9:00, I thought you would not come. I thought you suddenly decided to escape from me! You would never know how disappointed I was at that moment. But now, thank god! My plane was delayed and you are here!" while saying this, he wiped off the tears on my face with his hand, lightly."No, no, no! I can understand. I can understand how much you were disappointed, cause I was extremely disappointed just now. I got into a very heavy traffic jam…" I kept sniffing. Looking at me with deep love, ken suddenly hugged me tightly and kissed me passionately began to feel that the ceiling revolved, then the walls, and then the whole room. At that moment, the song "unchained melody" was heard on the air,"oh, my love, my darling…" then I felt ourselves were uplifted into space and all round vanished…
