The flute player

I am having a little bit of the writer block today.  Maybe I will just tell you a story. A love story!

                It started with a tune.  A tune where represented the union of two lovers from the past and present day. In their past life, the girl was a peasant girl and the boy was a swordsmen. He was the legend of his time. He was someone whom the community respects a lot. But the girl was just a peasant girl whose feet were not bounded. For a girl with unbounded feet, she will remain as a slave. The boy and girl met in the mountains. The boy was searching for some herbs while the girl was carrying pails of water down the mountain. The boy was playing a tune with his flute after searching for the herb for a long time.

The girl heard the tune and became curious. She tried to find the main source of the flute. She found him but also invited some guests along. Those guests are no friend of man. They are wolves. The girl screamed and ran away from the wolves. The flute player tried to save the girl but the wolves already left a large scar on her face. Her face was bleeding profusely. She cried and dare not return home as she knows her master will hurt her. The flute player took sympathy and took her into his family. She was known as the wolf girl in his family. Sooner the flute player begins to admire her beauty within. He knew he couldn't be with this slave girl but his heart was already with her. He tried reasoning with his family but all failed. He asks the girl for a hand in marriage but the girl knows her duty. He tried explaining to her that he love her for many times and ways.

 Finally, the girl accepted him as she had a crush on him all the while after he saved her. They ran away and started a new life but tragedy struck when they met a witch that envy their love. The witch put a curse on the flute player and if the flute player meets the girl, her scar will start to ache and pain is just not tolerable. The girl doesn't mind the pain as long she can meet with him but the flute player couldn't bear hurting her. He ran away and the night before he told the girl who was sleeping by his side that he will meet her in the next life. The flute player told her that love is not about meeting each other but making sacrifices. In the next life, he says that he will play their tune again. The girl cried in sleep after the flute player left their house.
