Aurora: West rain fall, I sommon you with a clear heart!
West rain fell, as she sommoned.
Bella who was a 23-year-old girl, she was in a long-distance relationship with a soldier. She was just a girl, who happened to come across with a boy in the age with longing for affection, when she stepped in college campus. After graduation, she ran a flower store in hometown, and her boyfriend joined the army in military base.
West rain danced on St-Louis, as the crowds hurried by the path to each other's home, couple shared one umbrella above two heads, and Bella peddled flowers in the rain. She envied that girl who deserved her boyfriend's companion in the rain, and missed her boyfriend served in the army.
Boy: Oh! Today's weather is terrible! It's reported that it would be a sunny day today. But it turns out to be a rainy day. I was gonna visit Foundation Louis Vuitton with you, but the terrible weather totally ruined the date.
Girl: Thank God! We didn't forget to put an umbrella in our package. I think it would be lovely to visit Foundation Louis Vuitton. But it doesn't matter, when we couldn't visit. Don't you think, wouldn't it be lovely to take a walk in the rain?
Couple shared one umbrella above two heads, chatting about their today's schedule. The boy blamed on this terrible weather, that totally ruined his date, when he couldn't visit Foundation Louis Vuitton with the girl. The girl didn't mind the terrible weather, and thought it would be lovely to take a walk with the boy in the rain.
Bella: Flowers would be lovely! It adds a little fragrance and romance in a relationship. Don't you think, wouldn't it be lovely to buy your beautiful lady a bunch of flowers, sir?
Bella peddled flowers to the couple, as they passed through her flowery flowers store.
The girl glanced at the scarlet rose, and then the boy understood what did she want.
Boy: Give me a bunch a scarlet roses, please! How much?
Bella: 10 dollars! Wishing you a lovely day filled with fragrance and romance!
Couple left the flowery store with a bunch of scarlet roses, and then they would take a long walk along the journey under their feet with fragrance and romance.
Bella stood at her flowers store, watching their back sight moving further and further in the rain, disappearing in the distance. She was in a long-distance relationship with her boyfriend, but she didn't know how long could they survive this long distance.
She tried to end this long-distance relationship, when she envied the other girls, who deserved their boyfriend's companion, but she couldn't forget her boyfriend, who sent letters to her from military base weekly. She received a letter from military base today, yet she didn't have time to unwrap the envelope.
When she laid her gaze back on her flowery flowers store, she discovered a postcard, which by east wind carried to her flowers store. She picked up the postcard, and then glanced at the eye-catching title.
Bella: Come to Lethe Tea Restaurant, you could forget someone you couldn't forget.
To go or not to go, that's the question. She had no ideas, whether she should visit the restaurant, or she should not visit the restaurant. So she left the question to the skies. If the skies was still raining, she would keep peddling flowers to passers-by in the rain. If the skies was changed, she would take a shot to visit the restaurant.
Suddenly, the skies was changed from gray to blue. Sunshine broke through curtain of gray clouds, and unveiled the blue air. It's the advice given by the skies that she should take a shot to visit the restaurant. She followed the location in the postcard, walked along St-Louis, and arrived the destination, Lethe Tea Restaurant.
Bella: Hey, boss! Give me a cup of jasmine tea, please!
Aurora: Hey, stranger! Here's a kindly reminder. The jasmine tea that combined with lethe water, would take away a part of your memories. you would forget someone you couldn't forget. You shall consider to forget someone you couldn't forget, before I could offer you a cup of jasmine tea. Do you have someone to forget?
Bella: Yes, I do. I want to forget my boyfriend. I tried my best not to envy those girls who deserved their boyfriend's companion, but still I would feel jealous of their love. Only God knows how many months I shall waite for my boy to come back home, and only God knows how long we could survive the long distance. Perhaps it's the best for both of us to forget each other. I was just a flower girl peddled flowers in the street. He was supposed to be the future general deserved the better girl.
Aurora: Well then. I could offer you a cup of jasmine tea, but the price is a tale of your love story. You would forget someone you loved most, and also forget your love story. But it doesn't mean you couldn't find back your memories, when you want them back. In case you couldn't find back your memories, when you want them back. May you please tell me a tale of your love story?
Bella: Surely!
Aurora poured a cup of lethe water in the cup, added an enchanted jasmine and some ice cubes, and gently shook the cup to balance the hue of jasmine tea. She laid this cup of jasmine tea at the table, listening to Bella's love story.
Bella: Five years ago, we came across with each other in the campus, and in the age with longing for affection. I was just a little girl in this vast world, but in his mind's eyes, I was his whole world. He was just a little boy in this vast world, but in my mind's eyes, he was my whole world. When we were faced with graduation, we walked on diverse paths to the same future with each other. I ran a flowers store in the hometown, and he joined the army in the military base. He would send me letters weekly, but we both know that the relationship without physical contact would be imperfect and delicate.
Bella left Lethe Tea Restaurant with a strange relief. She would never know the letter she received today, it would be the last letter from military base, when the man who wrote her letters weekly, had sacrificed in the foreign battlefield.
