OPEN YOUR MASK, PRINCESS!
Episode 210 THE SHADOW FACE OF YUE HWA
Weini stood in a stuffy room, 9-watt incandescent light in that space lived on and on and off. He was trapped there, alone in a room without a door. Weini held her face, the pain and itching unbearable until she scratched with both hands. He began to scream in pain, the scratching damaged the sincerity of his skin but the pain and itching never disappeared.
“Aaaarrrrgghhh!” weini screamed loudly, no one came to help.
In the dimness of the ababil light, Weini saw the wall that imprisoned her turn into a room full of mirrors. He was aghast, finding the reflection in the mirror that looked so unfamiliar. There is only one shadow there, just as there is one who is alone. Weini began to move her hands, holding her face and the reflection in the mirror followed her movements. Many times he made another move, the shadow still imitated him.
“Who?” ask Weini.
“Have I?” Weini stared fixedly at the face, unfortunately the more he opened his eyes wide, the shadow was even blur.
“Show your real face, Li Yue Hwa!” weini squealed loudly at the reflection in the mirror, he was furious because he could not see clearly what the face was like there.
“Toworkaan!” yelled Weini.In the instant he woke up with a still yelling shake until heard by Haris in another room. His breathing was stingy, he had another nightmare. Countless nightmares that felt like they were real became her sleeping flowers.
Weini rubbed her face then ran to set herself in front of the mirror. His face was still as usual, he patted his eel. “Why is it this way, it's just a dream.”
The girl pulled up her study chair and sat back, her mind glaring far away at the meaning of the dream. “What is this sign, I have to take off this mask? But how is it?”
Weini's sleepiness was completely gone, although the night was still very long, he rushed up and out of the room. Time to ask for certainty to the expert who he believes is still awake. Weini came to Haris' room, as soon as she was about to knock on the door, the man first came out of the room.
“Lapse of nightmares again right?” Ask Haris who has been memorized by Weini's habits. He led Weini to the backyard of the house, the rain that was originally just drizzling now increasingly heard. However, Haris kept the back door open and let the cold wind blow in.
“Dad, when do we remove this mask? I just had a strange dream ... about .. my face.” Weini held her face, she was so stupefied.
Haris looked at the clingy Weini, he knew the girl's unrest. “Are you ready?” ask Haris seriously.
Weini frowned, Haris is really serious. It was not usual for the man to respond to his nightmares with such a heavy look. But good, maybe it's time for the mask to open. “Each father.” Weini nodded steadily .
Haris sighed, turning his face away from his daughter. “Quickly or later, all will be uncovered. Just a matter of time, what's wrong we consider this the most appropriate time.” He said while staring at the rain.
“I'm ready dad, it's better to live in reality though it hurts than to hide behind falsehoods. I'm afraid the longer we wear masks, in the future there will be more frightening things.” Weini's worries were not without reason, her feeling saying so.
Haris nodded in agreement, asking Weini for a moment to take out her magic equipment. It's no small thing to break the magic he planted a dozen years ago, it's not as easy as putting it in the body, getting it out is much riskier. Haris came out with a magic sword he kept in another dimension, as well as some red threads that were lit up by magical powers.
The girl smiled grinningly as she took the towel, she knew what it did. A kind of nostalgia as a child he was told to bite down on Haris's coat to endure the pain, now the middle-aged man is still repeating it. “Dad, can we use dope? Times have been sophisticated, why painstakingly endure the pain.” Weini
still had time to joke, rather he just wondered why there is no other way that is more practical and not torturous?
Weini's joke makes Haris stop concentration for a moment, “Weini, if all the pain can be drugged, then the people who are sick with heartbreak are extinct from the face of the earth. Remember, you have to be a sweet kid like 6 years old. Don't shout!”
Weini nodded. He had no choice but to obey. Towel that Haris proffered directly he used to stuff his mouth. He can't scream!
The long golden glistening sword loomed and was held tightly by Haris. He closed his eyes, concentrating on chanting the incantation that was instantly reacting by the universe. The sound of thunder struck with the blowing of the wind that was getting louder, lightning was burning on the roof of their house.The universe seemed to transfer the almighty energy on the sword Haris, he was ready to crush it into Weini's back. Right where the magic chip was implanted.
Weini closed her eyes firmly, her face wrinkled. An excruciating pain began to penetrate the skin of his back, the sensation of heat and like burning was increasingly intense. He bit the towel and tried to control himself to stay awake and not scream. The sword began to act, its sharp edge ripping off his back sleeping suit and tearing his skin apart.
Haris expended all his strength, sweat poured even he gnashed his teeth so strong. He began to be confused, the tip of his sword had torn Weini's skin right where he had planted it, but there was no sign of magic there. Haris scraped deeper carefully, he knew deeper and deeper
the sword was getting sicker that Weini felt.
“Aaaaarrrghhh.”.
weini's scream broke, the towel was no longer able to become an impingement. The pain is too severe to explain.
Haris tried to stay concentrated even though Weini already looked very miserable. What they have started, there must be a result or the pain has ended in vain. “Weini, hold it for a minute!” pinta Haris is firm.
Weini was no longer able to respond, all she knew was that the pain was like crushing her bones. He continued to try to stay conscious, not to faint in the middle of the ritual. Weini understood the risks of the magic ritual, if he fainted then there was no certainty when he would wake up again. But, this pain was dozens of times more than when inserting the magic chip. Weini wasn't sure when he would survive.
Plump! Bruk! The sword in Haris' hand bounced high then fell to the floor and disappeared back into another dimension. Meanwhile, Haris' body was slammed by his own strength that was too big and then fell into the wall. The man drooped weakly, losing almost all his strength.
Weini was no less ill-fated, the sharp sword marks did not drip blood due to the influence of magic but the pain was very intense even when the sword was no longer stuck there. The girl bounced in the opposite direction to Haris, then grimaced in pain mixed with fear seeing Haris drooping weakly on the floor.
“Ayaaaah!”
