22 years old, still young but already in love and living with her boyfriend. that is Chun, she lives with her boyfriend Kang, an architect at some big apartment in Kuching. Kang loved her as mush as he loved himself, so did Chun. but unfortunately time can cause people to fall apart.
one year later, Chun is still living with Kang, but she is not happy. Kang is always busy with his work, and usually when he comes home, he would scream at Chun or beat her. this made their relationship really distant, and as they grew apart, Chun began thinking about her own life.
Chun would go to the rooftop where she and Kang used to go. she remembered the way Kang would hug her, the way he would kiss her. their memory were up here, when both were happy, when both were close, when everything was still Okay.
one day, Kang was having a really bad day. the building plan that he worked on was rejected by his company, so he had to worked on another plan. this made him really angry and he would just spill his anger at anyone that passes near him. when he arrived home, he grabbed Chun's hand and pushed her to the sofa, and started screaming at her, and rhen he started to beat her. but in the middle of the beating, she managed to run out of the apartment. she ran away from the place, until she knew she was safe. she went to a restaurant, which was quite crowded on the outside but empty on the inside. she sat at one of the table inside and ordered her drink. she ordered something heavy to sink everything that happened to her tonight. she just couldn't take it anymore, but she need Kang, she has no one in Kuching left, all her family was in Australia. and Kang was the one that gave her all her money. she was left in a dilemma.
suddenly, there was this guy that sat next to her. he ordered a hot coffee. and just sat there a newspaper, she looked at him, then stared back to her drink while thinking again about her dilemma. while she was in her own mind the guy suddenly came up next to her and asked her, "can i keep you company miss?"
she nodded her head and the guy brought his coffee to her table. he was a scruffy looking fellow with the unshaved beard and untucked shirt. he was carrying a big camera hanging on his neck. Chun continued staring down on the table instead of looking at this stranger. he broke the silence by making small talk about the rising fuel prices, and from there, both talked fondly to each other and didn't feel awkward at all with him. Chun felt really comfortable with this guy, this stranger than the guy he knew at home. she started to forget about the pain that Kang inflicted on her as she talked more to the guy. the restaurant that they were in was almost closing, both lost track of time and after paying for their drink, they went out of the place. then they departed after saying goodbye to each other. but Chun didn't get his name, so did the guy. she regretted she didn't asked him his name as she walked on towards the apartment. just then she felt a light touch on her shoulder.
she turned around and saw the guy she talked with earlier. it seems that she forgot her jacket at the restaurant, and he brought it to her.
"thanks for my jacket," she said happily
"its okay,i'm just being nice. umm... may i know your name?" the scruffy guy asked Chun.
"call me Chun."
"Chun, i'm Ian. nice to meet you."
both talked some more, and then before Ian left, Chun gave him her phone number.
after a few days meeting, Chun felt what she felt when she first met Kang again. she couldn't remember when Kang met her fell that way recently, since the only feeling that she felt was pain. so one night, she was meeting Ian like always, but unfortunately Kang saw her with Ian and fell into a deep rage. Kang ran home and waited for Chun to get home.
Chun was home, Kang was waiting for her. He asked her where she's been, and she answered that she was with her friends. he knew that she was lying to him, so he started his beating on her again, and screamed at her while cursing at her. then after he was done with her, he locked Chun inside her room.
Chun was crying hard, she was hurt, and cannot go anywhere. this was what she had foreseen before. she had talked about this with Ian, Ian knows that this thing was gonna happen sooner or later. so without hesitation, she reached for her handphone and called Ian to help her.
Kang was taking a day off, so he was staying to keep Chun home. then the doorbell rang, Kang went to get the door and saw IAn standing there. he asked for Chun but Kang hesitated, then answered that she wasn't home. then Chun screamed Ian's name from her room. Ian knew she was locked in her room. he tried to get in but Kang stopped him. he choked Ian, but Ian reversed it and punched him several times before Kang fell on the floor. Ian unlocked the door to Chun's room and left Kang all by himself in the apartment.
Five Years later
Chun was on her way home when she saw Kang's apartment. she decided to go see him again. she was hesitant to go there, but she gathered up the courage and walked right into the elevator. it had been five years already, maybe he's change, afterall she did. Chun nows works as a real estate agent, and married to Ian, and already has a son. and she was wondering how thing was for Kang, maybe he changed a lot too.
she went to the apartment room, but there was no one there, the room had been emptied,and was waiting for someone else to rent it. she thought that maybe Kang had moved out. so she went up to the roof to reminisce about the time she used to spent with Kang. she never met Kang again after that.
Unknown to Chun...
after Chun left Kang, Kang felt into a deep depression, where he won't do anything, he lost his job, he lost all his money, and he was getting thinner and more thinner. his parents are concerned about his health, but he never replied their calls. until one day, he purchased a bottle of sleeping pill, because he couldn't sleep. he went up to the roof,and sat on the edge of the roof, and took all the pills in the bottle. he went into overdose mode, he was in a seizure, his mouth was all foamy. then in the middle of it all, he fell from the rooftop, to the ground, and ended his life once and forever.
