Tell me the way to forget everything about you

I just feel tired

so exhausted

desperate

Can I take this life so we can be together in eternity?

"Time will be passed by but rest assure my oath towards you will never end."

Two people have been met at the riverbank. One is a slave and another is a nobleman from a reputable Clan family. They are looking at each other, stared with full of adoration. They have been stood in front of each other put aside the rank. They just two people who fall in love. No one speaks but from their eyes looks like they can understand what's on the other's mind. Then their lips sealed an unspeakable oath that had been craved in their own hearts. The dark sky became duvet and the air as they witness how two souls entangled each other.

"Jie Jie, what are you reading?" Ming Yue asked her sister because she was curious. That book can make her sister forget everything.

"This book is interesting. why  do you not learning to read?" Ming Hua asked her.

"I don't think that's necessary." Ming Yue answered her sister ignorantly. "Because I have Jie Jie to help me."

"Ming Yue..." Ming Hua looked so speechless.

Suddenly, from the outside, they heard the sound of people fighting. Their curiosity brings two sisters to get out of the library to see what happened.

"Jie Jie, what is it?" Ming Yue said unconsciously.

Their eyes widened as they witnessed their family being killed in front of them. For a while Ming Yue just froze, her legs are getting numb until Ming Hua grabs her wrist and pulls her to get into the library.

"I see there are two girls in the library!"

Ming Hua and Ming Yue were shocked because soon or later, someone will find them in the library. Ming Yue's face becomes paler as Ming Hua tries her best to look strong in front of her sister.

"Jie Jie..." Ming Yue feels so scared.

Jing Ming Hua knows they didn't have a lot of time to run away so she takes her sister into a small wood cabinet on the edge of the wall. Unfortunately, the wood cabinet just too small for both of them so Ming Hua decides to let Ming Yue get into the wood cabinet.

"Jie Jie... I am afraid."

"Jiang Ming Yue, you have to be strong. Jiang Ming Yue, wipe your tears. You can't cry. Jie Jie will come here to take you, right?" Ming Hua looks at her sister's eyes to make sure that she will never leave Ming Yue. "I promise to find you here. You have to promise me that you will never cry or make noise."

Actually, Jiang Ming Yue looks so hesitant because Jiang Ming Hua caressing Ming Yue's cheek with her right palm. "Promise me that you will never cry."

Ming Yue didn't say anything but she nodded her head as she knows what her sister wants from her.

"Good. That's my sister." Ming Hua stared at her little sister while she holds her tears. She really scared but she doesn't have a choice but to be stronger to protect her sister. Ming Hua closes the cabinet door and prepare herself for the worst case.
