was nice. To date a lady whom I was fond of was
like going into a fairyland. I suddenly felt as if I saw
a beautiful picture before me. It was full of flowers,
paintings, birds, a moon and stars in sky. I walked
with her on the quite path. We spoke in soft voices
and were very polite with one another. She seemed
coy and lovely.
However, she was also in her late twenties,
belonging to the ‘abandoned group’ or ‘difficult
group’. The first impression she gave me was not bad.
She was not that ‘difficult’. But why was she
‘abandoned’?
Just at this point, suddenly, she changed her
attitude. She had changed into a different woman, as
if she had thought of something new. She narrowed
her eyes and stared at me with disdain for some time
and I felt like I was walking on pins and needles.
