462 THEIR WISHES

Senja made sure she had put far distant away from the place she had met with Yun before she stopped running. She slowed her pace before she staggered in her feet.

The purple girl yanked her turban from her hair and tossed in on the ground as greedily she took in all the air she needed to replenish her strength.

"Senja."

The voice who called her name made Senja whipped her head toward his direction as the dizziness told her that she spun her head too fast.

"Why did you run from me?"

Senja didn't know since when he was there, because she could swear that a second ago it was only her. She wouldn't have stopped running if she knew Yun was nearby.

Now, with her almost lost all her breath and weak legs, she couldn't possibly to outrun him, so she stay her ground and steadied her breath.

Yun patiently waited for her to talk as his eyes studied her odd purple hair, but he didn't say anything about it. He was more curious about the girl.

This girl was the person that he had been looking for these past years, the only person who could bring him to meet Riana and ended his long waiting.

But, her next rejection was out off his calculation.

"I don't want to go home." Senja said in the end, her breath was still unsteady, but the determination in her voice didn't go unnoticed by Yun.

"What did you say?" Yun narrowed his eyes.

Senja took a heavy breath before she repeated herself. "I don't want to go home." This time she said it with more persistence.

There was a completely silence between them. It was so uncomfortable, as though the air became thicker and suffocated Senja, but she stood her ground.

"Riana sent you to find me?" Yun asked, but it more like a confirmation rather than a question.

"Yes she did." Senja felt a guilty feeling crept her skin by the mentioned of Grandma's name. She shouldn't do this. Her mission was to find Yun and brought him with her.

"This is a mission for you?"

Senja stared at him before she nodded.

"So, what the reason you don't want to accomplish your mission?"

Senja couldn't utter a word for that, she was tongue- tied. To avoid his penetrating stare, Senja lowered her head, covered her face with her long tresses purple hair.

Guilty ate her conscience.

"So?" Yun prodded. But, Senja refused to talk.

Her head was a mess along with her feeling. She wanted to meet Xiao Tianyao badly and that was what she told him.

"I want to meet Xiao Tianyao…" She said barely a whispered as a tear trickled down her cheek, knowing Xiao Tianyao was in danger and difficult situation right now, she didn't want to go anywhere except toward him.

"Tianyao?" Yun was lost in thought. "What your relationship with him?"

It had been long time since he was in touch with both of brother. He left Xiao Jun as well to follow the other Senja, hoping she would come out with something that could bring him to Riana. He had long lost interest with the power struggle between Xiao Jun and Xiao Zi.

Dedicating his live to meet Riana once again or said his final goodbye. Since he wasn't given a chance the last time he lost her.

He looked at the girl in front of him intensely, made his own judgement on what she would say next.

But, Senja remained unmoved, despite her attempt to shut her mouth, the answer was given through her trembling gesture, the mixed feeling between sadness and hopelessness.

"Do you love him?" Yun offered his guess with matter of fact tone.

Senja bit her lips as her tears were rolling down from her eyes, made her vision blurry as she lifted her head.

The way she looked at Yun, gave out her unspoken answered.

"And you wanted to stay with him…?" Yun kept this monolog with the answer that he already knew as sadness graced his face. "I am sorry Senja, but I can't let you do this… I had been waiting for this moment for more than seventeen years."

With that being said, the dam in her eyes broke. Her knees gave away as she cried her heart out.

"I want to meet him…" Senja said, pleading.

"And I want to meet her as well." Yun whispered.
