Happiness in the end of the world

Untouchable After Goodbye: She Had A Secret Empire

Untouchable After Goodbye: She Had A Secret Empire

Mira Westfield
"Let's get a divorce. She's pregnant and deserves a place in my life." He once promised to protect Claire forever, yet when his first love returned, he cast her aside. For three years, Claire dimmed her brilliance, living quietly as the obedient wife behind him. When he handed her divorce papers to give his pregnant mistress a place, Claire no longer hid her talents. The woman he had overlooked was a legendary healer, racing prodigy, and a genius designer. After the divorce, she reclaimed her glory. When he pleaded, "Honey, let's remarry," another man pulled her close. "She's my wife now. As for you... Someone, take him out and give him what he deserves!"

On July 26, 2012, in the midst of summer, with scorching sun, Happiness Lin stood in front of the ice fruit stall, holding a flat wallet and reluctantly looked away from the assorted fruit shaved ice that cost eight yuan per bowl, and bought  50¢ ice Popsicle instead.

Across the street, there was a guy in a suit and tie holding up a cardboard sign, with bold black characters that read: "Harmony Saves the Earth." Next to him, a well-dressed beauty with brand name clothes handed out flyer to everyone she saw, occasionally running to a luxurious BMW X6 to fetch ice water for the guy with the sign.

Happiness squatted at the entrance of the shopping mall, enjoying the air conditioning and sucking on her ice Popsicle. She disdainfully rolled her big eyes and thought that rich people were just wasting their time, not doing anything productive on such a hot day. If harmony could save the Earth, then please, save her first!

After finishing the Popsicle, Happiness picked up her plastic bag and headed home. The bag was light and empty, containing only two tomatoes, a cucumber, and a cheap cream cake commonly found in supermarkets.

Coming out of the bustling commercial street, Happiness turned into the old street hidden behind the glamorous high-rise buildings. This residential area was like a scaly skin patch, dilapidated and run-down. The wooden building from the 1940s where she lived was even more precarious. Walking up the creaking stairs to the second floor, the first room on the right was her home.

The desktop fan was said to be a souvenir from when her parents got married. Happiness plugged it in, pressed the button, and the red cloth strip tied to the wire flew up. A gentle breeze blew, causing Happiness to squint her eyes and loudly say, "Mom, Dad, I'm back!"

The room was empty, and Happiness took out three sticks of incense from the plastic bag on top of the refrigerator. She lit them and put them in the small incense burner. Behind the incense burner, there was a photo of her parents leaning against the wall, smiling happily.

"Mom, Dad, today I turned seventeen. I bought a cake for us to eat together." Happiness took out the cake from the plastic bag, opened the lid, pushed the incense burner back a bit, and placed the cake box on top. The smoke from the incense rose, and the air conditioner upstairs dripped like rain. The room was filled with the creaking sound of the fan's rusty axle.

Halfway through the incense burning, Happiness took the cake down. Smelling the enticing sweetness, her stomach growled loudly. She used a plastic spoon to forcefully scoop a dollop of cream into her mouth. Just as Happiness was enjoying her food, she heard a cat's meow that sounded urgent outside the window. She angrily slapped the table and reluctantly took the remaining half of the cake outside.

"Eat, you stinky big black cat. Not that I'm saying this to you, but how come your nose is as sensitive as a dog's!" Happiness grumbled in frustration. Big Black was originally the neighbor's cat, but they abandoned it after moving away. Since then, it had been wandering nearby. Although her own life was not affluent, she often managed to squeeze out some food for it. Recently, it had become pregnant and was scratching its heart and lungs out of hunger, often running into her house every day.

Watching Big Black's greedy eating, Happiness prepared a bowl of water for it and happily scratched its back with her hand. This cat was clean, although it didn't take many baths, its fur was smooth and shiny. The cake was already small, and Big Black finished it in a few bites. It then drank water with a splashing sound. Happiness happily stroked it and was about to bring it inside when suddenly, Big Black's back hair stood up and its tail, which was usually soft, stood up like a knife. Its throat let out a mournful howl that startled Happiness. Big Black called out once more and jumped outside, running away as if flying.

What's gotten into Big Black? Just as Happiness was thinking this, the floor beneath her feet suddenly started shaking. Before she could react, there was a rumbling sound from underground. Happiness was thrown onto the floor by the intense shaking. An earthquake! Her heart tightened, and she reached out to grab the leg of a chair to try and stand up. However, the shaking became stronger and stronger. It was difficult to even maintain stability, let alone stand up.

Could today be her day of death? 

Happiness tightly gripped a rolling tomato on the floor, trying to curl up under the table, desperately praying that this dilapidated wooden building could withstand the earthquake as the legends said. Clearly, no god received her prayers. Before losing consciousness, she only saw the floor tearing apart and collapsing, raising a thick cloud of smoke, leaving everything in front of her pitch black.
