5 One night in years ago (Separation)

Aran always thought he and Rose will stay and grew up together. But fate has another plan. After three years of a peaceful life in Turan Village. The dark moment has come and quietly creeping inside Rose's family.

Aran and Rose are going to be separated for a very long time before they meet again in a different place in the future. Sadly, when they met again for the first time after long years and been crossed path together in the future couples of times, they still unable to recognize each other.

A night with a moonless in the sky, Aran sleep soundly in his room, unaware the separate time between him and Rose's family has come closer.

In Rose's residence, the crying sound of an adult woman full of despair can be heard.

Inside the main room, the wife stops her husband from packing by grabbing his back.

With great difficulty, he manages to finish packing his small beg despite his wife practically hanging her whole body behind his back like a monkey. With her wife still on his back, he opened the door of the main room.

The strings of his small beg, he wears it on his wrist and both of his hand holding the bottom of her wife to support the additional weight while walking towards into a living room.

He chuckled and pat affectionally the hand that chokes hold his neck.

" If you didn't lose your hand, how can I hug you back?" her husband inquiry.

Only that did his wife loosening her hold and dropping both her feet to touch the ground.

The husband turns around facing his wife and sliding arms around her waist, pulling her up against him, wrapping her in a tight embrace.

The husband had messy long black hair and dark circles under his blue eyes due to the lack of sleep. Since knowing his time for departure is near a week ago, he sacrificed his sleep to make sure his family has decent food and woods to survive for a few months after he was gone.

"Sophie, my love. The years that I promise to give to you are already up. I can't stay any longer than what I have promised before. Now its time for me to go. As I already fulfilled my part, it's your turn now. You must carry what you have been promised before." the husband murmured on top of the head of his wife.

"I will come with you." Sophie whimpering on his chest.

The husband grabs her shoulders and pulled away a bit, so surprised with her words.

'Then what about Erin? You plan to abandon her?" her husband asks in disbelief.

"If only she doesn't exist."

"You truly mean that?

You truly break my heart if she means nothing to you!"

So angry he body was shaking and it sends tremble to his wife.

"It's not what I mean," Sophie said sorrowfully while looking at her husband's anguish expression.

"You should be grateful since you still have Erin, something apart of me with you..but me. I have nothing to carry with me."

"Please husband, don't leave me."

"Sophie, before we married I've known you as a strong girl, where has she gone to? You need to be stronger now than ever."

Sighed heavily, why can his wife understand that this is not easy for him either?

"Take care of yourself and Erin for me. The last six years being with you, I'm truly happy."

"But still not happy enough to keep stay with me. Don't you ever love me? Not at all?"

"You know my answer, Sophie. I don't want you to regret by parting with harsh words."

Looking sadly to his wife, he silently activates the binding spell.

So deep with her sadness, Sophie realizes too late about the spell. If she notices it sooner, she can counter-attack and dispell it before it completely binding her body.

Now, rooting at the same sport and can't move even an inch, her voice also is sealed. She can only blink with unshed tears.

Suddenly he felt something soft and warm at his leg. He looks down and smiles at their daughter who hugging his leg.

"Trouble sleeping, pumpkin?"

The small kid nodded, noticing a small beg on her father's right hand, she tugging him down.

He crouched down and hugged his daughter. Behind her back, he opened his palm. A small light appears from in the middle of it. The small light getting bigger and stronger then resize itself as small as the size of a marble glass.

He presses it into his daughter back. The ball of energy disperses and disappear in a blinking like it was been absorb by that little human.
