Sometimes a story can almost become real. That happened to Azra and myself. Azra has been the main character for this new story all along. But my real life interfered with her Sims life. It all had to do with real Sim love and real life computer crashes.

I hope you will enjoy Azra’s story. Thank you Maris, for creating her together with me. And a big thanks to all artists! With your wonderful CC, my life as a story teller is so much more enjoyable!

OK… are you ready Fred? I am about to go. I have a job to do, so let’s begin with this story already. You better make it good for me. You know…? You Owe me!!!

Azra lived in a tree house. She’s not there a lot, mostly just two days in between traveling. She is the world famous movie score director for all the main Sim movies. Made a name for herself in the movie music world, and does need the two days at home for autograph sessions. Meanwhile she is always dreaming about her next trip.

– “Lisa, would you like some Parmesan cheese on your salad?”

– “……But why do you keep going back….eh…what? Yeah sure, love some! What I was wondering about, why are you going back every time to find nothing?”

– “You know, Lisa… I was wondering about that myself too. Anyhow, it might be just me, but I do hope… I will never give up hope. Maybe, just maybe… I might just run into him one day.

Yes, the girls were talking about China. About Azra’s big love: Cheng Wang Liang.

Obviously, Cheng Wang is Chinese. Azra is not. Azra has some Egyptian blood running through her veins, but from those ancestors not even a picture was taken. We wouldn’t know who they were.
Cheng Wang Liang… They met in the cherry blossom season….

And with every day of her first long trip to China, it became more difficult to even think about having to leave HIM behind. Azra was not allowed to stay in China for ever. These were the rules.After a couple of weeks Azra and Cheng Wang practically lived together and were already talking about tying the knot. This was a pretty hard decision to make, because that would mean Cheng Wang had to give up his Chinese citizenship.

– “Azra, my love…, I am willing to go with you to the end of the World if it means we can stay together forever…. Let’s do it! Let’s get married! I love you to pieces, and I never want to be parted from you ever…!”

And so it happened that the two of them got married.

Sixteen days can go by without you even knowing it. Especially when you are honeymooning.
It was the morning they both had to go back to Riverview and were already planning for their next visit.

– “I have a surprise for you Azra. You will never guess, so I will tell you what it is!”
– “Cheng Wang…, you have to learn to build up some secrecy around big surprises and let me have the fun of guessing, where expectations need to go up to the highest level possible…. OK…, tell me… what is it?”

– “Remember the house on the hill you like so much?
… I bought it.
It is ours now.”

Life was good. They both had some last errands to run before their journey back home and Azra and Cheng Wang went their own ways.

Azra thought it would be nice to pick up some Chinese cook books and say goodbye to the town folk.

– “Yes! I am stealing Cheng Wang from you all! We got married! He’s coming back home with me, but…hahaha…, don’t worry! We will be back in about two days.”

Azra’s friends didn’t quite understand her sense of humor, but weren’t sure either if it was meant to be funny whenever she laughed.

Cheng Wang was very, oh yes… very happy.

Glancing over his shoulder he took a last look at his birth place. Here he’d lived for all of his life. This would be the first time for him to even leave the town.

A last visit to the Dragon’s den. He would burn some incense and prepare for the big journey.

BAM!!! WHAT???

‘……..Fred!!!!!! Crash to desktop! Why am I here all alone, back in Riverview with no wedding ring on my finger?
What happened?? Sweet Lord! This cannot be happening!!! FRED!!!’

Azra was back home in Riverview. .. Alone… and angry.

Fred, her creator had not saved the game during Azra’s last visit to China. All 16 days were she had met Cheng Wang Liang…where they had fallen in love and gotten married…  Azra had thought she even might be pregnant… A crash to desktop made it all disappear. Had it all been just a dream? NO! That couldn’t be true! They were supposed to be a match made in heaven! She was supposed to be married and possibly carrying Cheng Wang’s child. Fix it Fred!
