524 I HAVE A CONDITION (1/2)

Senja woke up early in the morning, she changed her clothes and freshened up. Afterward, she opened the curtain that divided her space.

There was only Sheng, who was enjoying his morning tea while Uncle Su and his twin was nowhere to see.

”Uncle Su said; 'the person who you are looking for is in nearby village. You have to cross the hill in the north, she will be in the first building that you will see. It will take half day to reach there' that was what Uncle Su said.” Sheng reiterated monotonously.

”Alright.” Senja replied while pouring tea for herself. ”Where is him now?”

Sheng shrugged, ”I don't know. But, Xun is obviously with him.”

The morning sun crept its way up and illuminated the surface of the tent, giving some light to both of them while they enjoyed their conversation.

”Who is Senja you are looking for?” He locked his brows together. ”The same name as you.” He mumbled.

”Hmm.” Senja didn't elaborate further only munching the cake on the table.

........

When the afternoon sun shone brightly, Senja arrived at the big hut with vast yard which bordered by fence that Uncle Su had mentioned. Dismounting her horse, the girl walked along the road.

In front of her was a big hut with a back to the river. The hut was big enough to accommodate around thirty people and Senja didn't know why the other Senja chose to live here instead of stay with Gong Xu at the sanctuary.

From afar she could see her, trimming a bonsai in front of the hut with solemn face, she was exactly like Senja, but upon seeing her closer, the difference between the two of them was clear to see.

The other Senja who was looking at her visitor has a solemn look on her face with traces of seriousness and serenity. She looked exactly like a noble daughter from respected family, meanwhile Senja with her purple hair akin to a free spirit from a magical character that jumped out from a myth.

The other Senja smiled at her that she reciprocated sincerely.

”What bring you here?” She asked softly when Senja had stood in front of her with her horse poised sturdily behind her.

”This,” Senja took the small red pouch from her waist and extended her hand to her. ”This is what brought me here.” Senja gave the pouch to her.
