[HIS Flashback]
Her Flashback
"Our daughter is still young. They want hr to get married now? Isn't it too early?" asked the female.
"She's got to get married anyways. It's just a matter of time...and maybe she wouldn't get into such a big house once she is older." replied the male.
"The family is so strange. They didn't ask anything else but the date and time of her birth and insisted to verify is with a midwife and came to propose the marriage once it was checked. It is quite abnormal," stated the woman.
A young girl, wearing a pink kimono, sat curled up against the door, tears brimming in her eyes as she overheard her parents' conversation next door.
"What do you know? They send so much cash as a gift. How many years do you think we have to work in this farm to earn so much?!" replied her father with his voice raising slightly.
"Didn't you hear their condition? We're never to see Rin again!" her mother retorted.
Rin sat quietly, gripping tightly to her cherry branch, when she was reminded yet again of this strange ordeal. 'Never to see mother?! Or father?' she thought, tears slowly rolling down her cheeks.
"They are a very rich family, maybe they wouldn't want such poor relatives," stated her father calmly.
"But why do they want our daughter?" her mother asked, her voice clearly reflecting her sadness.
Her Flashback ends
Rin squeezed her knees, over her 12 layered wedding kimono, as she was brought back to reality by the sound of thunder that erupted outside the carriage.
"A rainbow while it is raining! It is the wild dog's marriage!" exclaimed the man outside the carriage.
Her head was covered with a silky white cloth, yet she could hear the mutters of the woman outside.
"Who's in there?" said one.
"Who knows? Not some normal girl." said another.
Another rumble erupted from the sky, but suddenly the sky cleared and the shone into the carriage, through the red curtains and all sounds from the people silenced at once. In the distance, Rin heard the birds chirping, almost making her forget the sadness she had felt a few seconds prior.
Nervously, Rin pushed the elaborate carriage door open and stepped outside slowly. She slightly turned to her left and asked quietly,"Where are we? What village are we at?"
"Don't ask questions and don't talk to strangers," a loud deep voice boomed.
Truth be told there was honestly no one around. Her carriage and her stood in the middle of no where, with all the people somehow vanished. Although, Rin wasn't aware of this, she obediently nodded and returned back into her carriage, taking her originally seat in the centre.
A few hours passed and Rin grew tired and scared by the silence that surrounded her. She peaked out of her head covering slightly, before she was surprised by a boy's voice.
"Are you Rin?" the boy enquired, as he entered into the carriage and took a seat behind her, while accidently pulling the white cloth of her head. "I'm sorry."
Rin's heart was racing as fear wrapped around her small figure. He continued to say, "I know this might make you uncomfortable, but this makes me feel the same way. Father said we won't get married soon. In fact, I don't want to marry you since I don't know you.." he trailed off. For the first time, Rin looked up to see who this voice belonged to, knowing he was the one she was intended to marry. Upon looking up, see saw that the boy wore an elaborate white kimono with a pattern of red flowers inside 3 hexagons on his right shoulder, defying his high status. His hair was an unusual silvery blond colour that was tied up into a traditional bun. However, what surprised Rin the most was the fact that he wore a mask that not only covered his face, but his eyes too.
She was brought out of her daze when she heard him talk once again, "but according to their tradition, we are to spend the night together. I'm sorry."
Rin panicked slightly. Of course, she had known this to be true but it was quite frightening. After all, she was only 13 summers old and what should a girl know about being with a man at that age.
"Are you still wearing the white bridal cloth over your head?" he asked.
"Huh?" Rin said, confused by the question.
"No..it's nothing," he stated.
He pulled out and apple from his sleeve and handed it to her, "Eat this."
"I want to go home." Rin said, a bit more firmly.
"Do you know the way?" he asked curiously, but quickly said: "Eat this first."
"I'm not hungry," she said shrugging away from his outstretched arm.
"Please eat it. Just one bit." he insisted.
"What if I refuse?" she questioned. She knew she was risking her chance of staying alive, but it did not mattered no more.
The next words that exited his mouth rather threw her back. "Then I will wait. I will wait al night, till you eat it, and-"
Before he could finish, Rin slowly took the apple from his hand and bit into it. However, she refused to chew fearing it may be somewhat poisoned.
"Why can't I hear you chewing?" he asked, after a minute or so. Reluctantly, Rin started chewing.
"Can't you really see?" she asked him.
"Well.." he said, before moving his hands to unclasp the mask, to reveal his face and eyes that appeared to look like golden orbs.
Slightly shocked but intriguingly Rin lifted her hand to reach out to touch his handsome face, but pulled it back with hesitation.
"My family must have payed a lot of money to get you here. I'm so sorry."
"Don't say that..." Rin started slowly, surprised at the fact her future husband had gone as far as apologize to her, yet again. "In fact, I'm very ugly now that I can get married my parents are very much overjoyed and they got paid as well."
"But I don't believe your ugly," he interrupted.
"Why?"
"Because I can tell you're beautiful from your voice," he replied instantly. Rin smiled shyly and flushed at the compliment.
"Has anyone told you, you have a handsome face?"
"Well..that.."he started as he scratched the back of his head. "I couldn't see myself. But my father said I can see one day, but only in the moonlight."
"Really?" she said with a smile.
"Yes, when that day comes I'll see if you were lying to me."
[HIS flashback ends]
I reflect on the days where Rin and I grew to love an cherish each other, after that fateful day we had come to meet. Rin. Did you know, that because of you..I can see this world in the moonlight.
