With the coming of September, I recall the day when I first met

Alan. It was a rainy day. He seemed very handsome, but I didn’t love

him because of that. I was moved by the tenderness in his blue eyes.

As there was almost nothing in our room, it was difficult to call it

5

“home.” Although we were very poor, we believed that we were the

happiest couple in the world. In fact, I felt great happiness even when

I served him a cup of tea. We often sat watching the stars without a

word. His smile gave me the comfortable feeling of being loved.

One rainy day he suddenly disappeared. He left me a letter which

10

began, “I don’t want to make you unhappy, my dear…” I didn’t weep

over the letter because I knew Alan would be in my heart forever. Even

now I cannot abandon the thought that Alan will come back to me

one day and gently whisper, “Look, my darling Miranda. Look how

beautiful the stars are shining tonight!”

Love in September left me with a lasting memory… Yes, a lasting

memory!
