The Man in the Portrait

----------------------------------------------

Hingal na hingal na tumakbo si Serra upang lamang matakasan ang mga gwadiya na humahabol sa kaniya.Tinakasan niya lang naman ang kaniyang mga tagasilbi sa hardin kung saan inutusan niyang hanapin ang kaniyang nawawalang porselas. Hindi maiwasang hindi matuwa ng dalagang si Serra sa mga nangyayari.Abala ang palasyo sa paghahanda ng kasal ng pangawalang anak ng hari, kaya mas lumakas ang loob niyang tumakas ng palihim upang lumabas ng palasyo. Iyon ang akala niya agad rin palang nakarating sa kaniyang mga magulang na siya ay nawawala.At heto siya ngayon hinahabol ng mga gwadiya.

Stop, right there!" I heard guards chased me. Fortunately, I was completely turned away before they could even see me.
Dumaan siya sa makitid na daan palabas ng kagubatan nalaman niya ito sa mga katulong ng mansion ng aksidente niyang marinig ang pag uusap nito ng minsan ay namasyal siya sa hardin ng kaniyang ina.
At natagpuan niya ang maliit na lumang bahay at tuluyan na siyang pumasok.

I lifted my face from the run and my eyes wandered to the single room at the end of that small way.

I no longer hesitated to open its large doors and hurriedly ran inside. I quickly closed the door so that they could no longer find me.

I leaned against the door first while listening to their distant footsteps.

They're gone.
After that I was very tired just sitting on the floor while catching my breath. I was still holding my chest because I couldn’t breathe with the extreme nervousness I felt.

That was too close.

When I woke up I raised my face to see the whole dark room.

This room looks old and unattended. There are even cobwebs wrapped around every corner here. The thick dust that wrapped around it was also obvious.

For a moment, I felt like being sick.

But even the old ones are obvious in the bedroom the extreme luxury it has. And since it's night, the only thing that gives light to the whole room is the bright moon
There is a large and grand bed in the middle and paintings on the walls. There looks like an expensive chandelier above the bedroom.

Huh? Why is there a hidden room here? And to whom is it?

I can't believe that a room like this is hidden somewhere in the TangSan castle.

I looked up and glanced at the paintings around.

And then I saw that giant painting being lighted directly by the moon. It was covered by white cloth and I don't know if it's only me, but something is pushing me to remove its cover.

I followed my guts.

I looked up and glanced at the paintings around.I gently touched the cloth wrapped in the old painting.I grabbed the cloth  and I no longer hesitated to pull it away.

The white cloth slowly fell to the cold ground.
And I never imagine that what will I see next will forever change my fate .
