Purple Dawn Till Dusk: Dearest through the time

"What both of you talking about?" Elder Dam repeated his question when he reached them. He was happy to see the current Senja was talked active and socialize herself with other. Before, she was very reserved even to her family members.

"She told me about what she felt"

"Really?" Elder Dam look excited. "It was rare for her to heart out her feeling"

"Yes, I am quite surprised myself that she was very open" He said with humble manner.

"I hope she didn't bother you with her complaint. She was still a little girl" In elder Dam mind probably Senja complain about her dissatisfied to be in military compound. Sometime, he caught her dull mood because nothing could entertain her here while he often went away.

"No, I am glad to hear it. It was my honor"

"I am glad if Prince Xiao didn't mind" Senja chimed in with mocking smile. Honor? What hypocrisy guy.

Elder Dam nodded understanding then asked with curiousity. "What she confided to you?" Of course he wanted to know what his precious granddaughter feeling.

"She said…" Xiao Tianyou paused for a moment to give Senja faint smile. Right at that time, Senja felt something wasn't right with his smile and her feeling prove her right.

Xiao Tianyou husky voice was very clear when he continued. "She thought I am handsome. It surprises me that she was flattering me as such. However, I hope Miss Senja could conduct herself, people will have misconception if they hear this"

An awkward silent moment just dropped like that after he said those simple words. His expressions remain unchanged, looked very calm as ever.

But elder Dam face turned sour, he looked at Senja with disbelief expression and gaping mouth.

Those words could be interpreted as seducing words and worst of all Xiao Tianyou was her sister's fiancée, of course elder Dam couldn't comprehend this, since when her granddaughter develop feeling towards the second prince, they just reunited again not long time ago.

Senja expression wasn't better than elder Dam, she turned her body to face him head on. How actually there is someone so shameless like this man? His shamelessness actually upgraded to another level! No, actually she really said that… but, how come the meaning twisted like that?

Senja wanted to refute but elder Dam cut her words before she could say anything.

"What bring you here child?" On the surface, there was nothing wrong with his voice or composure. But, Senja know it well that this Elder was trying to suppressed his anxiety.

"… There is something I want to discuss with you grandfather" She lower her head to concealed her aggrieved.

"Sure, let's talk. Grandfather also want to chat with you, child" Then he averted his eyes to Xiao Tianyou. "Second prince, how about we talk tomorrow?"

"Very well" He smiled and nodded slightly before went back to another direction.

Senja looked at his receding figure blankly. He defamed her and walked away just like that? Leave her alone to clean after his mess.

"Senja, let's talk inside" He tugged along her hands and brought her to his room.

Inside the room.

Both of them were sitting facing each other. Elder Dam sighed and leaned his old body to the chair.

"Child…"

"Grandfather, that wasn't what I mean. He implied different meaning to my word"

Elder Dam caught her words as he squint his eyes. "You admitted that you said it?"

Crap!

She was indeed said those words, but now, it wasn't the right time to play honest. She was only said it casually before, after all, it was a common compliment words that doesn't hold weight in her world. There wasn't any special feeling when Senja said it.

She admired him and he was indeed handsome, but it didn't mean she would chase after him. It was completely wrong. She merely appreciated a beauty!
