And I watched the VCD I bought. Nice show I would say. A spoiler of the story here, I just like telling people stories. Haha.
The story start off with this 2 person, a man and a woman, both just beside each other, but do not know each other. Many a times they are close, but never once they met. The whole story revolves around a poem. This poem talks about a man and a woman who always are close, but never meet. Get the link?
Alright, this 2 people just live next to each other ok. Only a wall seperates both of them. Yet, because of something that they are afraid of, the lady goes left whenever she leaves her house, and the man, right. So they hardly have any chance to meet.
Yet, as if the story is developing at last, the 2 characters come to a fountain. As all of us know, this fountain is round. And when u put 2 parallel lines around a circle, they meet right? So yes, at last even though they were going opposite directions, they met.
The 2 characters spent quality time with each other, and fell in love at 1st sight. In fact, not at 1st sight. Thats because when they were very young, they met and fell in love too. Regconizing each other by their student ID number, as they did not know each other. At a train, the girl asked the boy for number, but lost it. That was long time ago, and now, they meet again, wonderful isn't it. Both then got to learnt the wonderful poem which this story is revolved around.
So they spent time with each other, untill it rains. They quickly exchanged numbers and rushed home, one going left, another going right. However, just when I thought the story is developing, ah, the piece of paper which their numbers were on got wet, and the numbers gone! So they went on guessing the number, untill both fell sick.
Ya, so they went on like this. Always getting just next to each other, but never meet. Untill one day, both of them recieved a package of photos that were taken of them, so close, yet never meeting. The 2 characters said the same thing: "Without the other person, its like a person without a shadow" So nice isn't it.
Ok, and they still continued with their life, guessing numbers. Then, people who once liked them gave each of the 2 characters a number. And guess what, the number is actually the number that they were guessing all along! But they did not know.
The man, a violonist, got admitted to go to Venice for a music thingy. The woman, a script translator, got a job in America. Both of them will be leaving each other, but still, they can't guess the number. So forget it, the man decided to call the number which he got from the person who once liked him. And the woman did the same thing. An answering machine took the call, and both of them just talked to the answering machine. Now I hope that you all remember that the number they called is actually each others number.
So yes, they were talking into each other's answering machine. They did not know at 1st, untill both read out that very poem which they shared! They knew immediately that it was the other party. Both then immediately ran out of their house, opposite directions and began shouting frantically each other's student ID number(they did not know each other's name). The shouting was a failed attempt. Both returned to their houses to pack the things they needed for going overseas the next day. It seems all hope is lost.
Both were at their homes, and I thought the story would just end like that, forever not getting to meet each other. Yet, indeed, good things do happen in the end. Just when both were about to leave, the guy decided to try again to call the number, and the lady decided to wait just a little while before leaving. The call got through, the lady picked up the phone.
Yet yet yet, at that very moment, an earthquake shook the whole apartment, and call go cut off! Ah! What a waste isn't it. However, thats not the case. The earthquake not only cut the lines, but also brought down the wall that were seperating both of them all along! They see each other, and knew immediately that they would never leave each other again. The End, how nice.
