My world felt like it was spinning. All I used to see was black and emptiness, and suddenly, the shapes and the colors of the world could be seen right before my eyes. I looked up and saw the dazzling object in the sky.
It hung beautifully in the sa place no matter where I tilted my head. I had to squint my eyes slightly to see the object because the light was too bright.
After adjusting the light that entered my eyes, I imdiately knew that it was the moon. The round object that had a bright light was exactly as people described it. I wanted to touch it.
I was really curious about the true shape of the moon. It turned out to be so big and beautiful. It made feel like if I reached my hand, I could touch it.
My hands stretched out, hoping to touch the moon as soon as possible. However, what I was thinking was wrong. Even though it felt very close, the moon was not in front of . The light only penetrated between my fingers. I moved my palm left and right, still stunned by all the things that I was seeing right now.
Until a shadow covered the beauty of the moon that I was admiring. I imdiately knew that the one standing in place of the moon was a human. A man with black hair as black as night, with eyes whose na I didn’t know yet.
The man’s color reminded of the description of angry and hot. Was it the one called red?
"You can see now?" The man asked in a very low voice.
I lowered my hand again to get a closer look at the man’s face. The man had dark hair, like a hollow color that always accompanied . Black. I recognized black.
My heart was pounding so fast when I looked back into his eyes. I didn’t know what happened, but I couldn’t control my heartbeat.
The man drew closer. He then touched my cheek with his warm and big hand. What would he do? Why was he coming closer? His face got really close and I, who was worried that the man would take my sight back, imdiately closed my eyes.
Until I felt sothing warm and soft touch my lips. The man pulled my hands gently and asked to stand up. His soft hand tickled my neck, and I could feel his warm and soft touch on my lips again.
"Cecillia," the man called, making open my eyes again.
How did he know my na? Had I ever introduced myself? I didn’t think I had ever introduced myself to him. The thing the man did to my lips left a tingling sensation.
Was the man in front of really a mysterious man I had t before? To make sure, I wanted to touch his face to make sure of it. So, I started to touch his forehead, down to the eyes and nose. I rembered the shape of his cheeks and jaws too, and the man also had the sa lips.
The man touched my wrist gently and buried his face in my palm. His eyes stared at intently, making my heart rumble even more.
"Who are you? And how could you heal when all the healers in the whole kingdom couldn’t heal my sight?"
My hand was still touching his lips. He raised the corners of his lips, smiling so brightly. Ah... I understood it now. Was this what it ant by pleasing to the eye? Even the moon that I admired for its shape and light could not take my eyes off of that man.
Was everyone this attractive?
"I have a special elixir. Only I have it and I used it for you."
"Why? I don’t even know you. Also... how did you know my na?"
"Cecillia... isn’t that the na people often shout at you?" Of course I know."
The man touched my ear, making surprised. "Because I have ears," he replied with a chuckle.
I imdiately held his hand that was about to touch my ear again. I didn’t like it because it felt ticklish.
"No good person did all this without wanting sothing back. What do you want? Is it wealth? I can tell my parents."
"Wealth? Not all creatures are always greedy like humans who always think about wealth and glory."
The man averted his face. Did he feel offended? I didn’t an to offend him at all. Mother and father always said that all things had a price. Everyone must have a transaction. It was like when I bought apples. If we wanted apples, then we had to exchange them for so coins. If we wanted to ride the carriage, we had to exchange it with so coins.
Everything ca with a price, I rembered it well,
Even the maids and guards in the castle did all their work because they also got paid and got so coins in return.
"Then, what do you want, Sir? Is there anything I can give as a token of gratitude?"
"Of course there is. But, what I want is not wealth."
"What is it? I can talk about it with my parents."
The man touched my face again. "Beco mine completely."
"Sorry? I don’t quite understand your request."
What did it an to be his? The man touched his lips and muttered silently. He tapped his lips several tis. When I t his eyes, the man’s gaze was not looking at like before, but at my lips.
"Hm... this will be difficult since it seems you really don’t understand anything about life."
I was offended by his words just now. The way he looked down on , I felt that his comnt earlier was quite cruel. I knew that all this ti I had always lived by depending on the help of others. There were a lot of things I didn’t know.
Besides, I just had my sight. I was just about to start learning to see again. Because it was only now that I had had the chance to learn all kinds of things without worrying about my flaws.
I bit my lip to keep myself from getting angry. I had to be able to forgive the man because he didn’t know what I had been through.
"Sir?" I called.
