474 I AM HERE (1/2)

Along the way to the palace hall Senja could see that the war has ended… seemingly. However there was still something unsettled in her heart. All of this was too suspicious, in spite of her uneasy feeling, Senja couldn't point out which part was wrong.

One of the Crescent Moon Members was pointing the palace hall in front of them before excused themselves to help their other fellow.

From afar, Senja saw the figure that she had missed the most. Warmth lingering in her heart when she saw him was fine. He was injured, because she caught a glimpse of the white bandage in his left arms, but overall he was fine.

Nothing could compare with the relieved that she felt right at this time, for a moment the uneasiness that she felt before was forgotten.

”I will wait here.” Yun said in low voice.

Senja turned around as she heard him with frown in her face, in a second she forgot why they were here and the realization hit her hard.

It was a goodbye.

No matter how relieved she was and how happy Senja to meet Xiao Tianyao again, but it was a goodbye. This would be the last chance for her to see him and this realization didn't sit well with her.

”Can we…” Senja stuttered, looking for a reason to prolong their stay. ” …Can we stay for a night?” Senja asked.

The sun almost set in the horizon and the smoke which covered the sky made the whole situation looked gloomier.

”Senja, I am so sorry my child.” Yun shook his head with regret. He didn't want to separate this young girl from someone that she loved, but he couldn't wait for any longer time. He wanted to meet his woman so badly. It was selfish of him. But, if by being selfish he could meet Riana again, so be it.

Tears trickled down her face as she knew that she shouldn't act like this. If it wasn't for grandma Riana who sent her to this world, she wouldn't meet Xiao Tianyao.

But, probably that was a good thing… so she would not suffer from the agony in her heart like this as if it was eating her own feeling alive.

Senja blinked her eyes rapidly to push back the following tears that wanted to fall from her dark brown eyes. She tried to think the happy moment when she finally could return, the things that she would do with her life after this, her brothers, her missions, her life.

But, nothing of them could encase her broken heart.

She missed him already even before the farewell leave her lips, even before she faced him and even when he was only a few meter away from her.

She missed him.

”I am sorry Senja to put you through this…” Yun gave Senja a sympathetic squeezed on her shoulder, but all she could do was shaking her head.

Senja wanted to say that he didn't need to say sorry for her, it was her mission after all, it was her stupidity to have this feeling when she knew she wouldn't be able to stay, when she knew the moment like this would come. However, the words clogged inside her throat, wasn't able to leave her lips as another tears rolling down on her cheeks.
