SOUL MO🌙N

Chapter 1

My name is Chan Si. I lived my 12 years of  life as an orphan in St. Luke's Orphanage. It's clear that I don't have parents because they died in a car accident when I was still 4 years old. Because of that, I was chased out by my uncle (which is my father's elder brother) to covet all my parents' belongings. He secretly placed me to live in this orphanage through his connections.

Until now, I was still devastated to what happen to my parents that's why I didn't bother to make friends with anyone. They thought that I'm someone who's weird and scary to approach to but I don't even care at all. I just want to have friends that is true to me and never ever try to betray me.

Being parentless and alone felt like everything seems so lonely. In the past, the smile on my face is truly visible to everyone because having the best parents in the world which is one of my treasured received blessing. But those memories are now scars of a facade of nothingness.

Every night, I always always watch at the night sky with its vividly beautiful scenery that surrounds the starry full moon. It gives light at the darkest corner around the forest unless the path is covered. The stars around it twinkles brightly that you may think they are enjoying their bond with the moon. It seems that even the moon has stars to be its company.

I just want to live the life of having a family that you will grow up with and friends to be your company side by side. But why did fate makes it hard for me to simply achieve all these things. Yes! I don't want to make friends but that doesn't mean I don't want one. Also, I always wanted to be alone but that doesn't mean I don't want to experience just a little bundle of joy.

"It's already the midnight and also my 16th birthday moon guardian. Since the day I was sad, you will always there shining to make look up to you and smile. But I always wonder moon guardian, is this truly my fate? Not having parents who would be by my side and friends to firmly stand as brothers. I still don't get. Why would this be my destiny?"

Chan Si is sitting straighr at the rooftop watching the beauty of the moon. The cold breeze of the wind made him me shiver and a little sleepy.  Then, he started to combine his hands praying for his birthday wish.

"I hope that I will now experience the simple life that I always want to have with happiness. Even if it's not for me, I hope that everyone will never experience this lonely life of mine."

Seconds of silence surrounded the area after saying his prayers. The wind blew his hair slightly and felt the familiar feeling of lonelimess. All those years of sadness that he experienced flashed back to his mind. Tears fell down to his brown eyes down to his cheeks.

"I guess it's always been the same. But now is the time for me to go back to my room in the attic and sleep."

He slowly stand up and started to walk back in the window where he sneakily went in and out to the rooftop when a strong earthquake shakes the building. He was shocked because of what what is happening and didn't have the chance to stay still that he was sliding down and was able to hold on a metal pipe. But because everything in the orphanage was old enough to be destroyed, the metal pipe broke and fell down.It was like the time slowly moving that everything around him is slowly fading.

He was still hoping that there's someone that would save him from falling but those heroes saving the needy can only be seen in the movies but not to this harsh reality. Again, he cried that he was so afraid to the die and wanted to change this kind of destiny.

"Why? Why is this happening to me? Why am I only one like this?"

Suddenly, he heard someone's voice telling him:

"My child, life is truly unfair when your fate is against you"

"W-who? Wh-why can't I move. If it's true, but why is it against me. Why should I suffer to have a fate like this?"

Darkness embodied his surroundings. It's like an empty space where everything is black. The feeling of being alone even in his death made him scared and worried. The lonely memories that's bugging him are starting to reappear in his mind.

"Do not fret, my child. I, the moon guardian, knows everything about you because I truly pity you. The happiness that you should be having was not given to you. Because of this, I will help you to change your fate. It's now your time be happy."

"Really? How? If you will truly help me to change my fate, then I will do anything in exchange." - he said.

"With my moon of time and space, you will be reborn to the life where you always wanted to be. This place is full of wonders and magical abilites where they worship me as the moon guardian. I don't want you to do anything for me because accompany me all this time that I have shown a liking to you. From now on, you will have your new life and new beginning. I hope that you will be happy with this gift I have given you. Good bye!"

"What? Waiiittttt..."

Chan woke up thinking that it was all a dream but it wasn't. He started to looked around and saw an old lady carrying him. He knew that he is inside a room with only one window and a wooden door. As you look at it, it seems a simple primitive room found in folk villages.

Looking at himself being a baby is not a surprise to him because he knew that he was reincarnated. Suddenly, an old lady that was happily carrying him started to talk to someone.

"Celestina, your son is healthy and truly adorable. The hair is like yours with a greyish color and eyes is like Hans that is emerald green. I wonder what will be its future someday."

"Yes, Auntie Lina. I am truly happy that he is healthy and adorable. I don't wish for anything because my son is here now. He is truly my blessing. I am truly thankful for the moon Guardian and wishing tht he would always protect him."

"Now! Now! I will call your husband immediately so that he can meet the two of you. I saw him being so tense and eager to meet you and his child."

"Thank you Auntie Lina. I am truly grateful for your help."

"No problem, my dear."

Auntie Lina gave the child to Celestina and got out the room to call for her husband. Voices can be heard outside and seems someone is rushing towards the rooms. Suddenly, the door opened and a handsome man in his 20's appeared in front of it. He stopped and waited to calm down as he was out of breathe so that he can now be with his family.

"Dear! I was so scared when I heard you screaming from outside. I guess everything that you have experienced gained a fruitful blessing. We now have our first child my wife! I am so happy that everything went well to you and to our son. Thank you for your hard work." -Hans said while touching the cute little face of his son.

"It's alright my husband. The pain is gone when I started to hear the cries of the baby. It was truly worth it. And I guess, it's time to think for a name for him my husband."

"Oh! That's right! I already thought of a name for our son. And it would be the combination of our name my beautiful Celestina. We will name him...
