The Story of Rita

1. St. Valentine's Day
The day before St. Valentine's Day was Rita's birthday.
Obviously Rita felt that this birthday was somewhat different from the previous ones, as Jacque did not come to celebrate her birthday together with her as he did previously.
Jacque was not only Rita's neighbor, but also her boyfriend.
They got to know each other as early as when they were both little babies, and they became friends early in their cradles.
Lina, Jacque's mother, and Limy, Rita's mother were friends. They often chat with each other, go shopping and go to the cinema together, and later they moved to the same residential community.
Limy married Jack, while Lina lived with Leon.
Leon was Jacque's father, but never seen by his son Jacque, as he left Lina without any notice before Jacque came to this world.
"Lina, what happened on earth? Why he left you without any word? You are now pregnant!" Limy was very angry.
"Limy, I," Lina was in tears, "I do not understand what is going on. I must have been cheated by Leon-anyway, I only got to know him two months ago. I should not have been so credulous. I know nothing about him. He is so irresponsive! I can not find him anywhere." Lina cried sadly.
Limy held tightly Lina's hands, comforted her, "do not be sad or worry, for the health of both you and your child. The child is more important than anything else."
Months later, Limy was pregnant too.
Jacque and Rita grew up together, went to the kindergarten together and later went to school together.
Not knowing from what time on, Rita, as long as she saw Jacque, became shy, with her face red and her heart beating and beating.
That year, she was 16 years of age.
It was Rita's birthday, the day before St. Valentine's Day. Jacque, standing on the balcony of his home, shouted aloud to Rita, "Rita, I am fond of you! If you like me too, open your window now." Rita did open her window and Jacque jumped and jumped happily on the balcony until he fell off with a cry. Fortunately, a clothes line he grasped rescued him.
From that year on, Jacque celebrates Rita's birthday every year by sending her lovely gifts.
Years later, they went to different colleges. Jacque studied medicine, while Rita majored in psychology.
Not staying at the same college, they had frequent phone calls to keep in touch with each other, talking about the interesting affairs in the school.
"Rita, last week we had the lesson of Systematic Anatomy. Our teacher asked me and Dily to carry the corpse for her to use during the class presentation."
"Really? Were you frightened?"
"I? Frightened? How come I am afraid of that? You know, I am always brave. But Dily was frightened to death. I felt that his hands carrying the corpse were trembling with fear. He asked me: "Jacque, please hole its head." Only after a while he changed his mind, saying: "Jacque, please hole its feet." He kept changing as this on the way to the classroom."
"I see. He was afraid that he would be bitten or kicked by the corpse."
"Quite right. Finally, we carried the corpse to the classroom. The moment we two lay the corpse on the autopsy table, Dily slipped and fell onto the corpse, with his face bumped against the corpse's face. He immediately shouted out, and his face turn rather pale, asking our teacher anxiously, "Ms. Brown, I will be infected with some kind of disease, or not?"
"What did the teacher say?"
"Ms. Brown said that Dily would not be infected with any disease, because the corpse we carried was only an artificial one produced with the most advanced technologies and it was specially designed for use in class."
"It is funny. Dily was frightened by a false frightening corpse."
"We all laughed about this as well. ?Rita, did you miss me?"
"Maybe a little bit."
"I miss you a great deal."
"Do you have many exams? We have lessons on various subjects and have to taken many exams."
"You are changing my topic, Rita."
Rita felt their previous conversations quite interesting.
Now, Jacque became a doctor with many achievements. "How time flies." Rita so noticed.
Jacque worked in a large hospital and he was so busy that he had to work overtime frequently, to cure the patients, or to do the research programs of the hospital.
"Jacque is so busy that he forgets my birthday?" Rita thought.
Rita walked on the street by herself aimlessly until it was 0:00 of the 14th.
