To begin with, let me describe myself in a few words. I am Cecilia Zhang. Born and brought up in Guangzhou, a city in China, I completed my graduation and then law from the most sustainable city of China, Shenzen. The city name itself ushers in my mind, oodles of memories of past six years of my college life. From everyday lunch at the famous students center of Shenzen University, to endless coffee cups in the in-campus Barista Coffee Shop; my each and every day spent in the city has been a memorable one.
Apart from a huge pile of memories, the city gave me the reason to write this book. The book on the life I experienced here, the lessons I learnt, the friends I made and how I met him…
I was born and brought up in an affluent family but with simple middle class values. I always strived to excel in studies and other extracurricular activities. Though, always desiderating to be a topper in the class, I always failed to do so and remained an above average student unlike my elder sister, Amelia. She was consistently a class topper and I always considered it to be totally unscrupulous. I studied harder but she was always the one scoring better and winning every possible prize, even in sports and arts. Astoundingly, something happened in the last year of school and to my disbelief, I was finally a class topper in 12th class. This score helped me obtain admission for graduation in a famous college in the city beautiful, Shenzen.
I could never be convinced when people opined that the hostel days were the best days of a person. Now, I sit back and reminisce these six years and a tear drops down my eye. These were the most carefree days of my life, when I assimilated important lessons on friendship and love. The most important learning for me about love is that, it is not important to be able to spend an entire lifetime with the person you love. If you are destined to be together, nothing in the world can thwart you from doing it. But if you are not, then all your efforts are in vain.
It took me an entire one year of graduation, to accept the fact that I will have to reside in the hostel, without my family for another two years and probably more than that. Our hostel rules were very stringent. We could go out of the college only on Tuesdays for three hours and on Sundays for six hours. We could go for a night out to our homes, only once in a month for two days. The first year of college was more about exploring the city beautiful in the limited amount of time we were permitted, to cross the college gates. I joined the college as a plump and a cute girl and by the time, I joined second year, I had lost tremendous weight and had extremely long hair that complemented my attractive looks. I gradually started to love my college life and was quite happy with the way my life was turning up.

It's been almost 4 years from the day I was diagnosed with cancer and I had completed my law. My hairs have grown back and everything had reversed to normal. Looking at my old photos inspired me. I had come a long way since then. Amelia was now a mother of two twin daughters. I had gained back my body strength and followed a normal routine.I was a happy bride but somewhere in my mind I still thought of recurrence of the disease. What if it happens again?I called up Wang with shivering hands."Hi baby," he said, sounding very excited. I could hardly hear him amidst all the noise."Are you sure you want to marry me?" I asked him bluntly."Why would I not be sure?" he asked."May be because I have cancer? You are free to marry any normal girl. I don't want you to be stuck with me," I said heavily."Firstly, you "had" cancer and secondly we

The day of my wedding …. Today.I am getting married today and while I write this last chapter, I looked up into the mirror, right across my writing table. Dressed in a bright red grown and matching jewels, I was ready to be somebody's bride. I am sitting all alone in my room upstairs, while others are busy making arrangements. I am all set to make a move downstairs any time, after the groom and his family approach.Suddenly, I hear fire crackers at some distance. My heart skipped a beat at the sound. My man is here. I knew his entry would be loud and happening.I had always dreamt of giving an Indian touch to the wedding, where my prince would come to my house on a horse, to take away his princess. My family was more than happy to arrange for the entire theme and the program.Wang, and his friends and family, were approaching my house and soon I'll be called too. I could now hear the thumping

He searched his pocket and revealed his mom's ring. I was ecstatic at the sight of the ring. I held out my hand and he inserted it in my ring finger. I again slipped it in my middle finger, instead."Congratulations. Can I now kiss the bride?" He grinned and moved forward to kiss me.I kept my hand on his lips and chuckled at his insanity. I could not even remember the last time, I laughed like this. He then confessed that it was Amelia, who told him everything. I wanted to thank Amelia, for bringing back Wang in my life.Looking at him I perceived, life was all about loving each other unconditionally. Life will always be unpredictable but till the time you are blessed with true love's support everything is beautiful. Whatever time life gives you, live it cheerfully and optimistically.I slowly grew more confident and strong. With every passing chemo, came a bigger challenge. There were tough times b

Someone touched me very softly, on my hand and I opened my eyes. Right in front of me, I saw Wang weeping terribly. Behind him, I spotted Dr. Kuan and my family, standing looking at me lovingly. I wanted to wear my scarf and I lifted my hand to pick it. Wang held my hand and put it carefully back on the bed"No more hiding anything," he said wiping his tears."I am sorry I had to lie to you. I never wanted you to go through all of this again," I said, looking into his eyes.Wang paused for a minute. He looked at me with teary eyes."I love you Cecilia and I love you no matter what life shows us," he said, holding my hand.A teardrop ran down my cheeks."But I am no more the same girl you loved. Look at me, I have changed," I said now crying."Don't talk nonsense! If you think saying all this will push me away then, you are wrong," he rebu

"Nothing. I just thought that oncologists dealt in diamonds. I have to leave now," I said and rushed away."But, listen. Can we meet? Just once," he asked."No, it's all over. Don't make this anymore difficult for me," I fumed.My family was waiting for me at a distance and I rushed to join them. Wang stood there weeping frantically. I narrated my family everything that had happened. I too could not control my tears. We were apprehensive of coming across him in the oncology department but luckily we were escorted to a different department, exclusively for the chemotherapy sessions.Wang could nowhere be spotted and after a blood test, the chemo started. A red colored fluid, in a bottle was penetrated in my veins, through a needle. Dr. Kuan visited the patients at every regular interval. Every time he entered the room, I feared Wang being with him. My family was waiting for me outside the therapy room

The day of my first chemotherapy arrived. I was very apprehensive about this whole process. I looked rather normal by now. The lump had been removed and the scars were healing. I still had discomfort in my arm though.I was standing in the parking lot of the hospital with my family. Just then, Amelia pointed towards something and I noticed a wine colored car parked, far away. I checked its number plate, it was Fratelli. That meant Wang was currently, in the same hospital too.But what might he be doing here? I wondered. What if he sees me like this? But it's such a big hospital, with so many departments; there was hardly any possibility of bumping into himAs we headed towards the cancer department, I felt a tug on my right arm and I yelped in pain. I turned back to see it was Wang. I was stunned to see him."Is something wrong with your arm," he asked worriedly."Yes… I&h
