Part 6

It was in the late evening when Namaari arrived in Heart. Raya was in the garden playing with the flowers and humming. When she saw Namaari, all she could do was blush. The garden is usually unoccupied and the plants were quite thick and tall. The perfect barrier Namaari needed to be vulnerable. However, she didn't do what her brain wanted her to do. Instead, she gave Raya a normal, friendly hug and Raya teasingly said, "You look extra hot today...dep la"

"Must be the weather." Replied Namaari with a slight chuckle.

"Well, let's go and get you settled in."

"Alrighty. My servants are around the other side."

While walking, Namaari noticed something in the garden on the ground. It was too faint to see but it was like a little firefly but looked rather smoky. "Cute" She thought in her mind.

They both went to pack out Namaari's items which took nearly half an hour. Afterwards, they lay on the bed. Namaari was closer to the window and admired the bit of nature she saw as the last bit of sunlight faded and night took over. 

She then pulled the curtains and Raya closed the door. They lay on the bed close to each other and Namaari pulled Raya closer.

"You look so exhausted dep la" said Namaari.

"Nah I'm good. Just laying with you is enough to rejuvenate me."

Namaari blushed and she and Raya were just staring into each other's eyes. They closed the gap between them and Namaari held Raya so close like she was defending her from something.
"Dep la" she whispered in Raya's ear

"Yeah?"

"I...I love you." The words couldn't be held back anymore and Namaari just said it. She knew THIS is the moment to be honest and not hesitant. She placed her hand on Raya's face and said, "You are so beautiful. We didn't meet in a traditional romantic setting and for years it was just so bitter between us. But now, it's so sweet. And...In all my life of being the very aggressive and demanding person, I never thought the coldness I was taught to show would be melted. By someone so beautiful, so soft, so fun to be around ...Raya, I never ever thought I could be in love. But here I am now. You may not be a guy...Or I may not be a guy but if this is what love really is, I crave it all. I crave you. This is a part of my life that was missing and I am happy it...or rather you found me." Namaari poured out all her feelings until tears rushed from both her and Raya's eyes.

"Oh N-Namaari..." was all Raya could get out. She was speechless and in tears, absorbing Namaari's so very kind words, as she felt that very same way. She was in love as much as Namaari was with her.

"N...Namaari, I feel the same way. It's like you translated everything my heart longed to say and I love you too. But...what about...Kuman-"

"Shhhh" said Namaari interrupting Raya. "Dep la, don't focus on them. Don't focus on what others will think. We both know and understand the love we have for each other. This isn't their moment. It's ours. Let's just focus on us now."

Raya smiled and Namaari lifted her chin closer to hers and said, "Ready?"

"Yeah"

Raya was very tense and nervous though. Namaari could see it and she said, "Relax dep la"

Raya's eyes closed and her lips slowly parted as Namaari gently pulled her face closer to hers. Namaari's eyes closed as she felt the sensation of Raya's lips on hers. The moment she craved for for such a long time, has finally arrived. Is this what love tastes like? Is this the sensation? Well, she wanted more. She couldn't let go of Raya's lips and kept delving into them. Her hands starting to get too loose with the desires of her mind. She went on top of Raya, having dominance and begun kissing her neck, not remembering that when one partner does that to the other, there are marks.

After an intimate 20 minutes with the love of her dreams, Namaari realized that she covered Raya in hickeys. All over her neck and upper chest. 

"Oh no..." Said Namaari in her mind

"Dep la...you look worried." said Raya.

"I...I just...I'm so sorry...the...hickeys are visible."

"It's fine. I think they fade after a while. Said Raya.

"RAYA! NAMAARI!" yelled a voice. They were startled and Namaari went to open the door. It was one of Chief Benja's servants. She was trembling in fear and said, "I-I need help...Please..."

"Hey...calm down Miss, and tell me what's wrong.

"D-D-Druu-Druun!" exclaimed the servant.

"WHAT?!" yelled Raya. She forgot about the shower of hickeys on her neck and went out there and said, "What druun?"

"Well, I don't know if it is but this is the second evening. I went to water the plants and some of the flowers have turned to stone and some bugs it seems...But I haven't seen the actual thing."

"Hey, calm down. The Drunn was destroyed over 6 months ago. But tomorrow, I'll meet with Ba about this. For now, stay indoors and encourage others to do the same."

"Y...yes princess."

They went back inside and Raya said, "Do you really think they're back?"

"Hmm...I don't know dep la. But regardless, I'll keep you safe."

Namaari cuddled her until they both fell asleep.
