463 BE A MEMORY

Yun knew very well how was Senja's feeling right now. He had been living that desperation for years now, so he could easily relate with his own.

However, he couldn't wait more, could he?

"Senja…" Yun approached her, the other Senja and she was very much looked alike. "I can't let you stay and make me unable to see her." He said sternly.

His words was only added the only reality that she had to face. She didn't belong here from the beginning, she shouldn't mix up her mission with her feeling for Xiao Tianyao, because there would be this moment which she needed to leave.

"I …" Senja stuttered, couldn't find the right words to say. All of her reasoning was meaningless.

"You know from the beginning that you can't stay." Yun remarked the fact.

However, looking at her vulnerability made Yun gave a second thought to force her further.

"But, at least I can let you to say your goodbye." He said softly.

Yun caressed her head, the same thing that he always did to the other Senja. He had been with her for these three years ever since she went missing. He loved the other Senja like his own, the feeling that he had the moment he saved her from her own father who was trying to kill his daughter.

Probably, it was because they shared the same face or maybe she shared the same misery with him now, but he wanted to give her time and willing to wait.

With Yun's words and the gentle touched from her, Senja lowered her hands that covered her face and looked at him through her teary eyes.

"You will let me to meet him once again?" Senja asked carefully, afraid that he would change his mind or her ears tricked her.

Yun nodded. "I will bring you to meet him."

Senja didn't want to admit it that she didn't feel satisfied with this decision, not even close. However, the thought that she could at least meet Xiao Tianyao again, appeased her.

She knew Yun didn't lie to her, because she could sense his own sadness for her. They were in the same position.

"Why things are going like this…?" Senja mumbled, trying to get rid her tears from her eyes. "Can't you go to her by your own?"

Yun had predicted Senja would suggest this thing, but unfortunately it couldn't happen that way. "I can't go to her place without you Senja. The stone paradox of time that she gave you is the crucial point." But then his eyes narrowed. "The stone is with you right?"

Senja pulled the stone that she had made into a necklace from her neck and gave it to Yun. "Can you go to her by yourself now?" She said stubbornly, trying her futile attempt to find another solution.

"Like I said, I can't." Yun replied while put back the necklace on her neck. "Let's go back to Qianru for now and we will leave to L city to meet Xiao Tianyao."

Senja gritted her teeth as she felt the empty giant hollow in her heart started to open again, but she nodded nonetheless.

If this was the last thing that she could do then she wouldn't waste this moment.

They were tracing their way back to Qianru and the others in silence. Only when the dusk was falling rapidly, Senja and Yun finally reached their location.

"Senja, what happened? Why did you run away like that?" Qianru looked so worry.

At that moment, Senja realized one more thing.

She not only couldn't meet Xiao Tianyao again, but she wouldn't meet people in this world as well, the feeling that they had given to her and all the hardship that she had been through would only be a memory.
