ETERNAL LOVE : A LOVE STORY

Grandfather Su sighed hearing the series of questions. He stared at Xie Ming and said, " I still can't believe that I am talking to the Empress of Ji Dynasty." He sighed.

Xie Ming pursed her lips when she heard his remarks. Her posture automatically straightened as he called her the Empress.

" When I first met her she was not well. She was extremely weak. Since I am a doctor myself, I took her to my daughter's apartment where she rarely visited since she was staying at hospital that time."

" I wanted to take her to the hospital, but she strongly denied and in the end I couldn't leave her there so I took to my granddaughter's place."

" After a few days when she got slightly better, she told me her name and that she is not from this world. She told me that she is searching from someone because she doesn't know where she is."

" She was looking for me?" Xie Ming asked in hesitatance.

Grandfather Su looked Xie Ming and nodded.

" She told me that her niece also came in this world. But she has no idea where she is. She told me that you both came into this world because she tried to broke the effect of some curse. " 

Xie Ming frowned when she heard this. A curse?

" Dif she tell you about the curse she was talking about? " Xie Ming asked in curiosity as she has heard it first time about a curse.

Grandfather Su shook his head and said, " She told me about you, your life in the palace and how much she loved you. But she didn't went in detail about the curse and how you both came." 

" That woman also told me that her husband's face is same as mine that's why she called me husband when we met for the first time." he chuckled lightly as he said his words.

" At first I thought that she was talking rubbish. But when I was taking her to the police station after she got slightly better because I couldn't handle a crazy woman like her anymore. On our way to the hospital, we saw the huge traffic due to the accident."

Grandfather Su's eyes lit up as he continued, " When we went closer to the crowd to see what's going on, we saw that you were sitting beside that woman not caring about rain or anything and twisted your hairpin and pulled out the accupunture needles from it. Others might not know but I knew that those were the accupunture needles."

" I was surprised to see a young girl was using accupunture needles to save a woman. Moreover, you did it very professionally. The needles you put on were on point and you knew what you were doing. I was fascinated to see someone as young as in their early 20s to be so well versed in Chinese medicine. Not only that you explained the condition of the woman to the paramedic very well."

" I was admiring your professional hands while the woman beside me started crying seeing you treating that woman. She told me that she has found the person she was searching for."

Xie Ming heard Grandfather Su's words with utmost seriousness.

" Then when she saw me, why didn't she said anything?" 

Xie Ming still couldn't believe that her aunt was so close to her and she didn't saw her.

" Because she doesn't wanted to interfere in your new life. She was glad that you were finally getting used to your new life because she saw the way you interacted with your husband. "

" How did she recognized me?"

" From your hairpin."

.

" Oh." 

Xie Ming understood because that was the same hairpin that she had in past. Moreover, only she knew that it has accupunture needles in it.

" Then where did she go now? And how?" Xie Ming asked while clutching her fists tightly in nervousness.

Grandfather Su casually shrugged his shoulders and said, " I don't know much either. The day she saw you treating that woman, she left my house saying that there is no need to take her to the police station. She is going her home back." That's what she said before leaving.

" Before that she told me many stories about you that you have taken the medical skills of your father Zhao Bai. I used to think that she was a crazy woman because Zhao Bai is a God in Chinese medicine and how can her daughter be in this world?."

" But recently Su Jin told me that there is an arrogant woman who doesn't have any medical background and yet claims that a boy has autism. The boy looked fine to her but the woman kept saying that he is sick. And when she got the results she immediately called me to tell me that the woman was right."

" She was shocked herself and asked me if doctors of Chinese medicine can really diagnose someone just by looking at their eyes and checking their pulse, my answer was No."

" Chinese medicine doctors are also human after all. One needs to have proper knowledge of it and need to check them properly to know the disease. Only the masters in medicine who have years of experience or were born geniuses can do that just by checking the pulse and that too the disease was autism which is very difficult to diagnose at once."

 He smiled as he stared into Xie Ming's misty eyes.

" Grandfather Su, what if my aunt is still here? What if she couldn't go back to her place? " Xie Ming was worried and rather confused as how can her aunt go back to that world?

" Do you think she wouldn't have returned to look for me if she had stayed here? Seeing her personality I am 100% sure that she would have come back if she couldn't go back. I might not be her real husband but observing her for a few days I realized that your aunt is pretty shameless and gets comfortable in any kind of situation."

" She got so comfortable at my place that she started to treat it as her own. She was eating fine and enjoying her life to the fullest. Other than being worried about you and trying to recuperate her body to go back, she was enjoying every single day here." He chuckled as he remembered the time she stayed at Su Jin's place.

He cannot deny that he was also happy back then because after a long time, he ate something good. Otherwise, the food made by servants is tasteless and his granddaughter doesn't know cooking at all.

He was tired of eating food made by servants m

But he enjoyed the food madenhy that woman. She always made authentic Chinese food that too she made various dishes for each time. He was enjoying his life fully when she was here.

Other than that woman's never ending chatterings, everything was good.

Xie Ming was speechless when she heard this. She chucked wiping the tears from her eyes.

Seeing the expressions on Grandfather Su's face, it seems like her aunt really did enjoy her life here.

But she still felt uneasy because her aunt didn't even met her once before going back. Moreover, she still didn't get the answer of her question.

Even a new question now popped up in front of her. What is the curse that her aunt was talking about?

Everything became more complicated now.
