"Okay girls...so...what's going on between you?" asked chief Benja.
Raya and Namaari both looked at each other, wondering who should talk first. Raya sighed then said in a low tone, "We are together, Ba."
"And do you feel as though this is okay?"
"It feels more than okay. Raya has completed a part of my life I never knew was missing until she became a part of it." Said Namaari boldly but while holding down her head.
"Yes Ba...I'm honestly so...in...love with her." replied Raya between light sobs while staring at Namaari. She felt overwhelmed with emotions.
"Homosexuality is not something that's much of a topic of discussion and so many of us believe that we should abstain. And in reality, a romantic relationship is usually between a male and a female and in my sight, that's the path you both should've chosen. But...I do not know the feelings you share for each other and you are adults. And Raya, this doesn't make me love you any less. I accept you, both of you." said Benja.
Raya couldn't contain her emotions and she hugged her Ba while crying. Namaari smiled and almost got emotional as well. "T-thank you Ba" expressed Raya.
"You're welcome dew drop." Benja replied.
Namaari bowed to him, showing great respect that she is happy that he accepts herself and Raya as a couple. After an emotional 3 minutes, Raya stopped crying and her Ba said, "But try to not be too open. Others may not be the same as me. I need to report to some duties...and also ladies, if you are going to do anything...be careful. I saw the marks on Raya's upper body."
Namaari cringed and said, "Definitely"
He left them both and closed the door. Instantly, Raya threw her arms around Namaari's neck, hugging her. Namaari lifted her chin and said teasingly, "Don't get out of control now dep la."
"I'll try." replied Raya.
Namaari pulled her further in her warm embrace and looked her deeply in her eyes before giving her a gentle kiss. "I love you dep la" said Raya softly after indulging in Namaari's lips for almost a minute.
"I love you more" replied Namaari in a soft but rough tone.
Namaari held her closely for a while. It was so soothing that Raya dosed off in her arms.
....................................................................
It was approaching evening and someone gently knocked on the door. Namaari gently took Raya off her and on the bed then quietly went to open the door. It was Sisu but she was in human form, along with her sister, Pranee. Pranee had a personality similar to that of Sisu.
"NAMAA-"
"Shhhhhhhh!" interrupted Namaari. "Raya's sleeping..."
"Oh so sorry!" said Sisu in a quietly screaming tone.
Pranee smirked at Namaari and playfully sang, "Namaari and Raya sitting on a bed-"
"Pranee!" interrupted Sisu.
"Wait... what is going on?" asked Namaari looking puzzled.
"The chief would like you lovebirds to report to dinner as soon as you can." said Pranee
"How did you know about us being... 'lovebirds'?" asked Namaari.
"Oh we just heard some people talking and sorta eavesdropped. I was so shocked yet so happy!" expressed Sisu.
Namaari gasped and said, "Do you remember how they look?"
"Uh-no but quite a few people know."
"W-WHAT?!" yelled Namaari.
"Shhhh! Raya's sleeping!" said Sisu, aiming Namaari's words back at her.
"Don't worry. Most of us are thrilled for you both." Said Pranee.
"I doubt that my mother will be though. We need to get this...news-spreading under control." said Namaari in fear.
Raya was waking after the loud outbursts. When Namaari heard her slight groans, she gasped and said, "We'll be down soon... I'll talk to you later."
She gently closed the door and went to Raya.
"N-Namaari?" said Raya as she slowly opened her eyes.
"I'm here dep la. You were sleeping for quite some time. Anddddd it's dinner time." said Namaari as she placed her arms around Raya. She kissed her neck but not so hard that a hickey was left this time around.
"I don't want dinner to eat...I w-want you" mumbled Raya with her eyes half opened.
