Masked Feelings

Sneak Peak part on Chapter 53!

On top of the roof of a house, there was a man covered in black clothes, a large hat on his head with a thin black cloth draped around it to cover his face.

He was sitting in the middle of the roof, even though the moonlight shone on him, he could not be noticed because he was wearing pure black clothes. He silently watched the people having fun in the garden.

Then, his eyes landed on a certain girl wearing an eyeglasses. He squinted his eyes and focus his sight on her and gasped a little as he recognize her face.

'Shì tā…' he thought.

'Ā-jié.'

He sighed softly and shook his head, a small but bitter smile appear on his lips. He's feeling a mixed emotions.

He's a little happy that he finally found her after so many years of searching.

His sister.

Buong akala nya patay na ang kapatid nya. He had search for her for eight long years and failed.

Hanggang dumating sa puntong sumuko na sya sa paghahanap at tinanggap ang posibilad na patay na ang kapatid nya.

But he never thought that he would find her here.

With his enemies.

He can clearly hear her laughters up where he sat causing him to shook his head in disbelief.

'Ang lakas pa din ng tawa nya. Tsk tsk!'

But he's also wondering in his mind if she knows he's alive. And if she'll recognize him if someday their path will cross with each other.

He sighed deeply, imagining the day na magkasalubong nga sila.

'Yěxǔ……tā bù huì.' *sigh*

He removed his hat and put it beside him saka nahiga sa bubong. Ginawa nyang unan ang kaliwang braso habang nakapatong sa ibabaw ng tyan ang kaliwang kamay. Nakatitig sa maliwanag na kalangitan dahil sa papabilog na buwan.

'But I think it's better if she don't recognize me. This way, I'll be able to protect her.' He thought to himself and sighed. 'I just hope she won't hate me in the future.'

"Ā-jié.... wǒ zhōngyú zhǎodào nǐle." He whispered and close his eyes as a lone tear fell on the corner of his eye.
