She went back to work. Minutes passed. Her right hand drew and traced lightly over the design. In her pad were a dozen carbon copies, each allowed her to draw, redraw, change, edit and come up with the right design. It had to be right. Many had big black crosses through. Wrong! I'd take all the time in the world but I can't. The deadline is there, hanging over me like a katana held by a Samurai. Two days more...

Suddenly a Japanese Air Force F-2 jet fighter roared overhead, heading out to sea. This briefly distracted the young lady from her notepad, pen and pencils. She looked up and shielding her eyes with one hand while moving her red hair out of the way, found the plane. It was a mere dot now. Another roar indicated his wingman was close behind. No doubt they were on patrol somewhere far out to sea. Tensions with China were in the news again. Distraction over, she got on with her work.

Jelma was one of the few designers who still liked to draw her designs out, only using a computer or iPad during final production. There was something about doing it by hand. By hand lets me get it right, gives me control. Who am I kidding? Come on Jelma, two more days and it's got to be completed, ready for production. Time to slay this beast!





Chiyo carefully took the dress down and went to the bedroom to change. A few minutes later, she came back wearing it. Every eye was on her; a hundred people stopped and stared. Chiyo really did the dress justice. She was beautiful.

Kaito did the announcement: "May I unveil Kazuki's new dress, called Ulop or Tagalog for cloud. That's a Filipino language, as I'm sure you all know. Of course our dresses look good mounted on display but this is the real test. How do you think Chiyo looks?"

There was silence for a few seconds and then everyone cheered and gave a huge round of applause. They loved the Ulop dress that Chiyo wore. She'd help design the black bit.

"Thank you everyone. Thank you ever so much!" Chiyo did a twirl and the dress rose up to show her lovely toned thighs and legs.





"Yes, you're right there. I won't ever quit. My father gave me that discipline, as did my Kung Fu training. I won't ever quit you nor my business ventures. This stupid war threatens the second one. Damn them." Chen held Jelma's hand and kissed it. "It's good you're a fighter. A warrior of fashion. I like that."

"That's a nice term, a warrior of fashion. At least no one dies. What I endured gave me my fashion passion," Jelma laughed, all tension broken. She reached for her wine and drained the glass. Glad that bit is over. Hard to say, I've only told that story to a few trusted people. And there's not many of them. Now Chen knows my story.

"Anyhow, there's only one thing we can do to make amends for all your experiences my dear Jelma," Chen nodded, eating his meal. See what my young lady says to this. Let it be yes when I mention it!
