Sad and puzzled, Chi Fan weeped. Kaika comforted her by playing his flute. He buried the dead the next day. Defenceless like Chi Fan, Kaika promised to take care of her.
This incident made known to the whole village. Chi Fan decided to remain there and settle down instead of finding Chichiri. She enjoyed the peaceful life there and the couple treated her as their own daughter. Chi Fan knew nothing about love but she was taught to be a good housewife since she was very small. She would be content with the life of a typical housewife. She thought she would like to anchor with someone and Kaika is a good man that she could marry.
While taking care of Chi Fan, Kaika felt that Wei Sheung was more distant from him, not as close as usual. It seemed that she was working and working all the time, from taking care of her family to planting her crops in the field.
Weeks later, Kaika could bear the coldness of Wei Sheung no more. Instead of just looking at her in distance, he went to her field right away. As Wei Sheung was watering her crops, Kaika helped her to do it.
'What are you doing here?' Wei Sheung was surprised.
'I'm watering your crops. I suppose it would save some of your time so you would have time to talk to me.' Calmly said Kaika.
'...What do you want to say then?' Said Wei Sheung, carried on watering the crops.
'I...I...I treat Chi Fan as my sister.'
'So?'
'......'
'...We'll just stop watering for a while. Let's go in my house to have a rest. Would you like playing a melody with your flute for me?' Said Wei Sheung with a sweet smile, hiding her blushing face from Kaika's sight.
Kaika relieved. His heart had never been beating so fast for his life time. He was so happy that he played a melody which was composed for her only. He had never seen Wei Sheung smiled so brightly before. They had had a very good time together.
Every trouble seemed to have an end. The peaceful adn joyous life of Kaika restored.
It was the harvest festival. Everyone wore traditional clothes in the village Maka. At that night, all young boys and girls would gather in the center of the village dancing happily together. It was the time for young man to show his love to his loved one.
Dancing around the camp fire, Kaika found Wei Sheung to dance with him. When moving to a darker corner, Kaika said to Wei Sheung with his greatest courage,'I love you, Wei Sheung.'
Wei Sheung was so happy and surprised. Before she could speak something, Kaika held her tightly in his arms.
'If you love me, propose to me tomorrow. Go to my house and ask my father's permission before it's too late...' said Wei Sheung firmly. It was the partner changing time so this young couple was separated before Wei Sheung could carry on saying the reason for this rushness.
Kaika was now dancing with Chi Fan but his heart was totally occupied by Wei sheung. He thought he was the luckiest man in the world. Looking at the happy Kaika, Chi Fan thought Kaika liked her. She had not had such feeling before... She really fell in love this time.
'...Kaika, I think you need a woman to take care of your daily living...' shyly said Chi Fan.
'Yes, I think so. I think it's time for me to have a wife.' happily said Kaika, still thinking of Wei Sheung's proposal.
'I think your parent will agree us to marry...'said Chi Fan, beautiful as a new bride, her blushed face was as red as an apple.
'What?...I think you must have misunderstood something...' Said the surprised Kaika after his mind was pulled back from the thinking of Wei Sheung. 'You are a very good girl but I treat you just as avery good sister... I...You know Wei Sheung, the girl in our villege... We love each other...I'm serious, I want to propose her tomorrow. I'm sorry, Chi Fan... I'm really sorry!' Said the embarassed Kaika, hoping Chi Fan would not get hurt by his speech.
'...What?... Are you serious? Please don't play with my heart...' said Chi Fan, like a thunder struck right at her heart.
