Love is burning under the sun!!


Chapter One

On a rainy afternoon, Karen was walking along a riverside, with breeze winds biting her face, and she looked up at the sky, wondering a lot about the pure friendship between her and a stranger who lives in far away.

It was about 2000, when lots of people were talking about the coming of the world-ending day. And Karen was still in low spirit. Her mother lost her life and went her without saying a single word, which made her feel upset whenever she remembered the gentle old woman.

Karen was a daughter of a big but poor family, and she was the youngest child in the family. She has two brothers, and one elder sister. The sisterhood was good, for the elder sister often took care of her and sometimes protected her, although they often fought each other for a piece of bread and something they both loved. With years gone by, the children had grown up; the whole family could not be crowded in the small house. The father of the four children made a big decision one night when all family had finished their supper, which Karen remember clearly, with two bowls of beef and a pork of fresh fish, just caught in the river, called Rosemary, which flew through the little town all the year around. This decision gave the whole family lots of happiness.

That night, Karen dreamed a nice dream in which she and her sister lived in a big bedroom with dolls with colorful designs.

With the days followed, her father worked harder than ever, thus, often came back very late. He sometimes became irritated for nothing important, which little Karen and her two brothers, Jack and Eric, felt half frightened and half puzzled. When it happened, kind-hearted mother, Lily, would silently come close to them, and led them to their small bedrooms.

At last, they accumulated all the money they needed, so they had enough money to build a new house. Things went smooth, and with the help of their relatives and the countrymen, the big building was completed on schedule, also thankful of the fine weather.
