The Story of Dusk 310 ANOTHER WORLD

Days and nights passed just like that… nothing important and nothing could draw Senja's attention, she was succumbing herself in desperation.

Ye Xiu knew that Senja didn't need his soothing words or his advice, but he couldn't help but felt sad for her, no matter what, he was in her position years ago, when he was waiting desperately for this moment.

And now, when this moment had come, he couldn't let it slip away. Called him egoist, but this was the only thing that he wanted the most.

Only when they reached the Mountain Sui Sword Sect and he led them into a familiar cave that Senja couldn't recall, Yun asked for her necklace that wrapped the stone paradox of time, Senja gave it to Ye Xiu as he spoke with bitterness laced in his words.

"I am sorry, Senja…"

He knew she didn't need his apologize, if he was in her position, he didn't need it either, but he still said it nonetheless.

"I didn't know it will end like this…"

This was an excuse, Ye Xiu had seen this the moment he knew Senja had something for Xiao Tianyao, that he would separate them.

"But, I can't thank you enough than this for being willing to come and let me meet Riana…"

This was Ye Xiu's sincere gratefulness for her and also his regret to ruin her chance to be with someone that she loved. But, it was too late…

"If only I could help you, I will do everything…"

This was an empty promise, because Ye Xiu knew, even though Senja could come back to the capital city now, she wouldn't be able to meet Xiao Tianyao again.

Senja lifted her head and looked at Ye Xiu with lifeless eyes. "What was that mean…?" Her voice sounded very dry.

"What is it?" Ye Xiu furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. He didn't understand what Senja referred to.

"The sound of the horn… what was that mean?" The pitiful sound of the horn was a little thing that bothering her…

Ye Xiu put the necklace on the ground and before he stepped on it, he was looking straight into her eyes and answered Senja's question with bitterness on the tip of his tongue.

"That was a sign that there is someone in the royal family who has died."After that Yun stepped on the necklace.

At the same time with a loud cracked sound that echoed through the cave, a blazing light forced Senja and Ye Xiu to close her eyes.

The same strange sensation engulfed her as she felt her body curled up uncomfortably, before the darkness consumed her.

***

Ye Xiu opened his eyes when he felt someone was staring at him intensely. The intensity made him slightly uncomfortable.

He didn't like the way this person looked at him, however this someone's presence somewhat was familiar, as if he had known this person for ages.

Ye Xiu tried hard to open his eyes, his eyelids felt so heavy, not only that, even his arms and lips couldn't move the way he wanted.

The only thing that indicated he had woken up from his slumber, which he didn't know how long he had been sleeping, was the sound around him.

He could hear waves after waves of water hit the shore. He was near the sea…

Afterward, the sound of the door was being opened and someone with heavy steps walked into the room.

"How is he?"

A woman asked the person who had just entered the room. Her voice laced with concern and slightly trembling.

However, to know his own condition wasn't the thing that bother Ye Xiu, but the sound of the woman voice itself that perked his attention.

He knew her voice, the sound that he had been longing for years, the voice that only belong to one person.

To a woman who had been looking for…

Yet, Ye Xiu tried to keep calm, after all, he had not heard her voice for very long time, he could be mistaken to someone else.

In the end, he chose to wait for the woman to speak again.

Ye Xiu listened to the man's explanation about his own condition, but didn't pay much attention into the content, he was waiting for her to speak again.

"But, why he has not yet woken up until now?" Her voice became more panic as she touched Ye Xiu's hand, intertwined their fingers together.

Her hands felt so warm and small in Ye Xiu grasp.

Her voice…

Riana…

Riana looked at the man, who was lying on the hospital bed in gloomy expression. The doctor said Ye Xiu was no longer in critical condition, but why he still not woke up yet?

She missed him so bad…

It was a week ago when she found him, lying unconscious right in front of her door.

She didn't know how he could reach her convalescent home in this place. Actually, her hope to be able to meet Ye Xiu again, had faded.

She suffered from amnesia for years since she returned to this era and only recovered these past two months as all the memories about her past life in ancient time flooded back to her mind, the feeling for Ye Xiu also returned at once.

The love that she felt for him and all the memories about him comeback. But, she didn't know how to reach him…

She was an old lady now, not the age of a young girl that Ye Xiu knew.

Thus, when she found him right in front of her door in the middle of the dark night, she was dumbstruck, she thought she was dreaming that the person before her eyes wasn't real.

It was a bless…

Because he was the only person that she wanted to see before she breathed her last.

And here he was, sound asleep on the bed. "Yun… I miss you so bad…" Riana rested her forehead against his when the doctor had closed the door and it was only both of them again. "I am sorry for being late to look for you…" Her tear trickled down on her wrinkled skin.

It was so sad that Riana had spent years without even remembered him. How she could forget about him?
