OPEN YOUR MASK, PRINCESS!
The 507th EPISODE
“Mother, why was the window left open? Tonight is very windy, later mom catch wind how?” Weini rushed towards the wide-open window with the cold wind blowing quite fiercely, it was fortunate that they were still wearing coats, otherwise it would have been shivering.
The white curtain was also blown by the wind, when Weini had touched the window handle and was about to close it, her attention instead turned to focus on the bright moon in the sky, once the moon and full shine. Weini was swept away in the charm of the month then put off for a moment her intention to close that window.
“Indicate the month? Seeing the full moon as beautiful as that is what makes the mother deliberately leave the window open. It feels like the heart also feels calm when it sees the light, is not that Hwa?” liang Jia asked softly, he was already standing parallel to Weini then folded his hands over the window frame.
Weini nodded slowly without turning her gaze away from the moon. “Ng... very beautiful bu.” His murmur was short, the girl's lips still curled a single smile. The moon that was full of Yin energy was indeed very soothing, and anyone who felt an emotion that flared up, if he looked at the full moon then the overflow of emotions would be reduced. That is the attraction of Yin energy that naturally affects the heart of anyone who admires it.
“You know.. When mom lost you, every full night I spent looking at the sky. Pray for the bright moon up there, hoping you will also enjoy the beautiful moonlight. And hope someday we can see it together.” Said Liang Jia reminiscing about his past, he was very happy because the hope was finally fulfilled.
Weini was amazed, not expecting her mother to do such a thing for her sake. “Mother..I did too, back when I was a kid I liked to see the moon. And if I miss you, I'll scream to call you and ask the moon to tell you. We are the same, Mom. And now the mother's prayer was granted as well.” Weini replied full haru as well.
Liang Jia was astonished to hear his daughter's confession, how long they had longed for each other despite their long separation. “Hwa, do you remember when I made you a set of hanfu to watch the moon festival?”
Weini frowned, trying to recall that long-ago event. “oya? Is there a bu?”
Liang Jia looked at Weini as if she could not believe that Weini had forgotten about it. “You've forgotten? Though you are whining to mom asking to be made a new hanfu to see the moon festival. But unfortunately before you put it on, we split up.” Liang Jia recalled sadly.
“Mother, don't remember the sad anymore huh. We should smile more and be happy now.” Weini grabbed Liang Jia's hand, comforting her with that tight grip.
Liang Jia smiled again and granted his daughter's request. “But there is one haru story that you should know, about hanfu it.” Excited Liang Jia who would not harbor this alone, only he and Xiao Jun knew those pitiful memories. The memories that made Liang Jia fall for the kindness of Xiao Jun for the first time.
“Tell me, mom. I want to know what happened to that hanfu.” pinta Weini who wants her mother to be relieved after telling her.
Liang Jia sighed, he looked back at the moon while continuing to remember at that time. “Formerly after your departure with Wei's bodyguards, your father almost punished all of the Wei family members. Fortunately, his intelligent youngest son caught your father's attention, until he was finally adopted as a child. Not only was he an adopted son but truly recognized as his biological son, and anyone who dared to reveal Jun's origin, would not hesitate to be killed by your father.”
Weini shuddered, not expecting Li San's vile deeds in the past to be so horrible. “Segunnya ma'am? Really dad could do that?” tanya Weini remained in disbelief.
Liang Jia nodded steadily, assuring and refuting Weini's disbelief. “Since then no one has dared to talk about Jun's origin. The smart boy also protects his mother who was sentenced to be a maid, he did not dare to harass his mother despite his longing. So actually, Jun and you both suffered just as much back then. But Jun was noble-hearted, he knew I missed you so much, and one day he came to this room to visit me, just as I was crying while hugging that hanfu.” Liang Jia let out a rough sigh, he also moved from his standing position now.
Weini followed her mother with a gentle gaze, watching where her mother was going. It turned out that Liang Jia opened a box in her closet, then a beautiful pink little hanfu was shown to Weini. The girl walked over to Liang Jia, wanting to see firsthand what kind of hanfu Liang Jia had prepared for her back then.
“He asked so, mom?” Weini could hardly believe that little Xiao Jun had such high concern.
Liang Jia nodded, “Yes, not only that. I don't know why I trust him so much, the innocent radiance of his eyes opened me up and told him what he asked. Until she said that she would put this hanfu on for me. I can't believe it, Hwa, she apparently snatched it from my hand and ran for hiding and appeared wearing this hanfu. He did it for me, Hwa. She's willing to wear girls' clothes to satisfy my longing for you. I hugged him, crying in his arms. He kept calm comforting me, that little boy already knew how to sacrifice feelings. I know very well that he misses his mother a lot, and I miss you a lot. We both cried at the time.” Liang Jia wiped away her tears, even though she did not want to cry, but the memories continued to urge her tears to speak.
Weini could not stem his sadness anymore, he was too selfish to think only he and Haris were tormented. Apparently there is also no peace of heart that is obtained by people who are victims of the problem. “Mother..pardon me.. I used to think... I thought I was the one who suffered the most, only I was wasted and you didn't want me. Unexpectedly mother and Jun, and mother Xin Er similarly suffered.”
Weini hugged Liang Jia, tried to calm herself down together, reneging on for a moment their promise not to cry over the past. It turns out that sometimes the gloomy period must be remembered, so that the love in the present is increasingly intertwined.
“Have been... is, not the time to be sad again Hwa. I just want you to know that I'm so happy that I know Jun is your soul mate. You guys deserve to be together, mom and dad have already blessed you.” Liang Jia who has now managed to control himself.
Weini responded and smiled again, her gaze turning to Gu Zheng who was in the room. “Mother, will you hear me play one song for you?”
Liang Jia immediately smiled and nodded, an offer he was looking forward to. “How can mom refuse such a sweet offer. Do it, mom will hear it until it runs out.” Liang Jia cried excitedly.
Weini walked over to the lute, in her mind already thinking of playing a song that Liang Jia really liked. The song was trained by Weini while still in Jakarta, and now is the time to show his skills. The sound of passages began to sound, soft and melodious. Liang Jia was amazed, he knew what song Weini was playing.
