BORN IN PAIN
In the hospital, a newborn baby cried softly as his mother held him close. She looked down at his tiny face and whispered to herself,"Look at you… you look just like your daddy. If your father were alive, he would be so happy to see you. Your eyes… they are just like him."
Tears fell from her eyes."I am so happy to have you, my son… but why? Why this curse in our family? I never asked for anything, God. I just wanted a happy life with my family… but I won't have that time. Why? Why?"
She looked at the baby again."He is so small… he knows nothing. And this is the last time he will ever see his mother…"
The baby opened his eyes and began to cry. The mother hugged him tightly and cried with him."My jaan… my love… don't cry. I'm here with you—just for a little time. You will never see your mother again, but don't cry. If you cry like this… how will your mother find peace?"
As she spoke, the door opened and the doctor entered. His face was serious."I'm sorry. Before the operation, we had only one choice—save you or save your child. We tried our best to save both, but… we could only save your son."
The mother smiled weakly but said nothing. The doctor continued, "You don't have much time left. Please… spend these moments with your baby. No one will disturb you. And… I am truly sorry."
She nodded. "Don't worry. You saved my child, and that is enough for me. My son is more important than my life. This is fate… I accept it. I'm just happy I got to see him."
She kissed her son's forehead. In her heart she whispered, I knew for a long time that I would die soon… but I never thought I would leave my son on the day he was born.
Holding him close, she took off her jade pendant and placed it around the baby's neck." This is yours now," she said softly.
At that moment, time seemed to stop. A red fog filled the room, and from within it, a figure appeared—summoned by the power of the jade pendant.
He had long black hair, dark as night. He wore a black Chinese traditional robe, and on it was embroidered a red dragon. His eyes glowed a deep, dark red.
His name was Longxia.
"Are you sure?" he asked gently.
She nodded. "I'm almost twenty-five now… and you know everything about our family." Turning to her son, she whispered,"My love… live long. Be strong. Your mother won't be here with you, but I will always be by your side."
Longxia bowed his head." From this moment, I am your son's soldier. I will help him in every dark moment and stay by his side—always."
She smiled weakly and lay back on the bed, still holding her baby. She said, I want to give you a name. Your name is Ailin. Ailin my love, bye. Mama love you so much, please live long. This is your mother's last wish. The heart monitor beside her let out one final beep… and the line went straight.
A single tear slipped from her eye, fell down her cheek, and touched her son's face.
And just as he entered the world…his mother left it.
Then Longxia took the baby with her to a silent house at the gate with some words written on the door. Those words are: If your fate is here, you find the person you lost if you believe in fate. Then he entered the silent house and shut the gate.
He takes very good care of little Ailin. He fed the Ailin when he needed to play with them, but he was always scared and always thought about what would happen when he was 25 years old. I am always by his side. I will protect little Ailin no matter what.
A girl named Suyin was rushing towards the jungle and her feet stuck on something, and she fell on the ground, and she was so scared a group of bad gangsters were rushing towards her. Then in a silent house, a baby touched the jade pendent then a red smoke appeared, and the girl disappeared in smoke, and then she fell in the front of the silent house, and she got up when she just got up. She suddenly fell unconscious and fell on the ground. When she woke up, she was in a silent house and on the sofa she saw such a beautiful house in her life for the first time. Then the master of this house came up and said to girl why are you crying? What happened to you?
Then she told me about herself. She said," My name is Suyin, and I was born into such a poor family, but now our family is in the top 10 richest families.
Longxia said, "How did your family become so rich, you said, before you were born into such a poor family and your family became so rich ?
Suyin said" My father is a hardworking man. My father and mother started dating at university. At that time, when she arrived in the third semester, I was born. My father got married to my mother, but he was not happy at that time, so he left my mother and went abroad for studies and for business and my mother also went to her hometown for the best job and they both left me in Grandma's house. I was raised by my grandma until I was 9 years old, then my father and mother got back to the city and took me into a big villa. I don't know how they became so rich.
Longxia said, Interesting what next what happened to your feat, and how did you end up here?
She shirked her head and said," I don't know. I got caught by a gangster band, and they started following me and I didn't know anything and I ran and I ran. I didn't know what time I would enter the jungle and, suddenly, my feet got stuck in something and I felt those gangsters trying to catch me at that time when they were near to me. Then red smoke entered, and I had disappeared from there and when I opened my eyes, I was in the front of a silent house and fell again and when I opened my eyes I was in this silent house.
Longxia said ,Arden and I got the main role, but I don't know how i could do that because there is nothing about him. I find I just found his story but not his getup and not his way of talking. How I could perform her character in front of an audience.
Longxia said nothing, he went to the counter and told Suyin to come here. There is something for you to take with you. Your problem had only this solution then Longxia
Take out the box, there is a mirror in it, and it is covered with a yellow scarf, and it says with a serious face, Don't tell anyone about what you saw and what you said about and listen to me carefully. You can't change the future. And said, don't talk in front of the mirror. She said ok.
Then she opened her eyes, and she was on his bed and said this is a dream. Then she saw the same box she saw in her dream and opened it. There was a mirror in that box. She remembered everything and got up to go to the washroom to brush and take a bath and dress for university. She got to the bus stop and reminded her of her difficult life. She reminds me of how she is treated by others. People say I have such a beautiful life, but now I want to have a family. I am rich, but I have nothing, no happiness, no matter how alone I am. I sat at a big dining table alone. There was no one here to accompany me. I was alone. They just saw my smile, my money, but the thing which is noticeable in my life is my lonely heart, my lonely house and my parents never being allowed to make friends.
