CHAPTER SEVEN: BLOSSOMS WITHOUT A PROMISED SEASON<\/strong><\/p>\n

When despair had already taken root, when hopes and dreams had withered with the passing years, I buried myself in work, trying to return to normalcy, to real life, to separate myself from illusions and reveries. I started finding joy again in friends, slowly returning to old gatherings. I tried to reject the illusions that had weighed on my mind for so many years.<\/p>\n

Just when the ordinary world was welcoming me back, a message suddenly arrived on a late autumn afternoon, when the sky had turned a pale yellow and the wind began to rustle gently through rows of bare trees.<\/p>\n

\u201cPick me up at the airport on this date and time\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Oh no! My God! Just that single line, with no explanation. I froze in front of the phone screen, my heart pounding like the war drums on an ancient battlefield, my hands trembling as I swiped back and forth in disbelief at what I was seeing. I leaned against the back of the chair and took deep breaths to steady my heartbeat. I suddenly felt like a teenager falling in love for the first time. Could it really be her? Could the dream I had yearned for all these years truly be coming true?<\/p>\n

I looked out the window. The late afternoon sun still lingered faintly on the withered grass, like a trace of memory left from past flower seasons. Inside my heart, something bloomed\u2014fragile yet brilliant, like a newly budded blossom. I didn\u2019t know whether to believe or doubt, whether I was awake or dreaming. But I still put on my coat, got in the car, and drove off like a sleepwalker.<\/p>\n

The drive to the airport felt like it lasted a century. The streets were bustling, yet I felt like I was gliding through emptiness. Every street sign, every passing tree outside the car window seemed like lines of reversed memories.<\/p>\n

When I arrived at the arrival gate, dusk had enveloped the sky. The amber twilight drifted across one corner of the horizon, and hundreds of people stood waiting for loved ones. Security announcements echoed repeatedly, and layers of people and heavy luggage crowded the hall. I looked around anxiously. Among the countless faces, could there be one familiar face, a gaze that had once looked into me for a lifetime?<\/p>\n

And then I saw her. She was standing there, truly standing there, in a long cream-colored coat, her hair still jet-black like before, and her smile\u2026 unchanged from the day she left. I rushed out of the car and walked straight to her, embracing her tightly. She did the same, hastily setting down her carry-on and wrapping her arms around me. We shared a kiss full of longing. In that moment, every distance, every year, every doubt melted away as if they had never existed. I couldn\u2019t believe the reality before my eyes. This wasn\u2019t a dream. It was real. She was real!<\/p>\n

I drove her to the riverside wine bar, beside the gentle San Jacinto River, the place that had once quietly welcomed her. We sat next to each other, like two people who had never been apart. She leaned softly against my shoulder, with that same contemplative gaze, that soft laugh like melting dew. I looked at her under the yellow light and realized time had never touched her. Beneath her blossoming lips, I heard again all the words that had remained unsaid. The wine slowly emptied. The autumn moon silently rose. In the fragrance of her hair and the warmth of the wine, I found myself intoxicated once more, just like the first time.<\/p>\n

As night fell over the river, we returned to the room that hadn\u2019t become unfamiliar despite the years. That night, words were the most unnecessary thing. Everything that needed to be understood had already passed, in our eyes, our breath, our entwined arms. She slept peacefully on my shoulder like a small cat, calm and tender. I lay still, arms wrapped tightly around her warm body, afraid that any movement would make the beautiful dream vanish again. But she didn\u2019t disappear. She still lay there, peacefully sleeping like a satisfied kitten after a full meal.<\/p>\n

When dawn quietly crept through the bedroom window, I opened my eyes, startled, and held her tighter, leaning over to whisper in her ear, \u201cYou\u2019re really back? You won\u2019t leave again, will you not?\u201d She gently nodded, her smile tinged with melancholy. \u201cI went too far, thinking I\u2019d never return. But nowhere else felt like home, only the Field of Golden Blossoms, and you.\u201d<\/p>\n

I was truly moved. I squeezed her small hand, held her closer as if I wanted to blend her body into mine, feeling our hearts beating as one. I whispered, my voice as light as a cloud, \u201cYou don\u2019t need to explain anything more. As long as I have you, I can trade everything else.\u201d She looked up and kissed me. \u201cYou really mean it, don\u2019t you? Come with me, let\u2019s live together in the Field of Golden Blossoms. Yes, my love, the blossoms are still there, and I will stay with you forever.\u201d<\/p>\n

After a few short days for me to sort out my life, we decided to return to the old place on the same train from years past, back to the old station and the Field of Golden Blossoms. Not to search anymore, but to settle in and enjoy the days of happiness together. Not to wait, but to begin again. On the train bound for memories, we sat side by side, watching the scenery recede through the window. This time, we were not alone, there were no regrets, and no one was waiting for a miracle.<\/p>\n

When the train stopped at the breezy station, I grabbed our suitcase and held her hand as we stepped off. The field was still there, glowing golden under the autumn sky. I turned to look at her. She was smiling, her eyes sparkling. We walked together through the flower beds, hand in hand, unrushed. In this life, love doesn\u2019t always arrive at the right time but if the bond remains, the flowers can still bloom, even without a promised season.<\/p>\n

That night, under the golden moon slanting over the hillside, beside a small stream, she whispered beside me, \u201cPerhaps we\u2019ve lived a whole lifetime, just to meet again and hold happiness in our arms.\u201d
\nWe lay on the grass. She still liked to rest her head on my shoulder. I turned toward her, and she softly closed her eyes\u2026 The world suddenly grew strangely quiet. After a long, endless kiss, I whispered into her ear, \u201cThis time, I won\u2019t let you go. Not even in a dream.\u201d<\/p>\n

The autumn wind rustled through the branches, and the falling leaves rose like a love song finally played, gentle, soaring, and whole.<\/p>\n
