Alone In The Wind 5 I Do 1

I purchased my ticket at sat next to a frail old man. It wasnt an enjoyable journey since he fell asleep and started snoring so loud the woman pushing the lunch trolley walked straight through our carraige clearly avoiding the noise and I'm sure everyone was relieved when the journey came to an end.

I pushed my way through the crowds, when I finally got into a more quieter s.p.a.ce I seemed to have forgotten which way was North! I asked as many people as I could if they knew but they either shrugged or ignored me. I shut my eyes tightly and tried to will myself back home where I was never lost. Then suddenly a gust of wind picked up pushing everyone around, it blew open a window showing the evening sun, then I remembered Grandmama telling me the sun always sets in the West.

With renewed courage I set off again North, hoping the wind would continue to guide me.

30 Minutes had past and I found myself walking into a huge metal gate, "May I help you?" Asked a familliar voice coming from the speaker, "No," I mumbled then the gate opened.

I walked up to the door and what looked like a butler opened it, "The master wishes to see you Miss Zhao," He muttered. How did he know my name? I was just about to argue when he signalled to the lounge. Then I saw the man who had helped me standing uncomfortably in the middle of the room, I knew who he was! He was the man I was supposed to marry!

"You followed me." He said looking me straight in the eye, "I-I did not," I stammered.

"Then why are you here?"

"Th-the wind took me here."

"And do you know why the wind took you here Miss Zhao?"

"No" I mumbled he sighed and said, "because it knows what we both have to do in order to keep our reputations Miss Zhao."

So I agreed though neither of us wanted to- or at least I thought he didnt... I'm saying this because that night, when he thought I was asleep he crept into my room and kissed me on the forehead. I saw a tear roll down his cheek then he left.
