Back to Kumandra

Part 37

Namaari smiled at her and said, "You need to chill a bit babygirl. You're so aroused. Let's go have some fun at the picnic."

"R-right" said Raya as she snapped out of her very deep and intimate thoughts about doing things with Namaari.

She picked up the blankets and Namaari opened the door. They met up with Sisu and Pranee who had tons of food.

"What took y'all so long?!" exclaimed Pranee.

"And what are YOU doing with so much food?" asked Raya.

"Um it's a picnic?? We should have a lot of food!" said Sisu.

"Hah...if you say so."

"What's the occasion?" asked a deep, soothing, familiar voice. It was Chief Benja.

"Hey Ba! Me, Namaari, Sisu and her siblings are going to have a picnic." said Raya.

"Aww lovely but before you go, I wanted to briefly speak to you both." said Benja.

"Okay we'll walk ahead." said Sisu.

After the dragon sisters walked away, Benja said, "So...Chief Virana and I want to ensure that you are confident about becoming public with your relationship. We will send off servants to different parts of Kumandra. Aside from Tail, the other chiefs should send a response and if we're all clear, the date is set. Three days from now, there will be the introduction of you both. But it will be like an evening party."

Raya's face enlightened and she said, "That sounds so amazing Ba. But...where will everyone sleep?"

"Are you forgetting that we have a huge clear lot that stretches for miles? It'll be like a big night out. And I'll ask the dragons for assistance."

"So are we supposed to dress...formal?" asked Namaari

"Yeah but don't worry about that. Your mother has your outfit planned and so do I with Raya. So I'll see you girls after your picnic. Go enjoy the beautiful day now." said Benja as he smiled. 

Raya hugged him and said, "Love you Ba."

"Love you too dew drop."

She left with Namaari and while walking, Raya let out a sigh and said, "I can't wait for this!"

"Yeah I feel confident in our decision. And I know the best is yet to come dep la. Hmm...I hope mother doesn't get me any cute girly fits... That's for you." Said Namaari.

"I'm not dressy...the first time we met I told you..." said Raya while raising a brow at Namaari.

Namaari smiled at her and said, "Well, there are the dragons up ahead."

Amba rushed to them and said, "We can't find Pengu."

"What?" said Namaari as she got concerned.

"He said he was going for a walk. Amba and Jagan searched most of the forested lands here...and we can't find him." said Sisu.

"He probably needs space though. I'm sure he's okay and probably just need to be alone and unwind." said Namaari. "I sometimes feel that way."

"Well alrighty but did you guys find a spot?" 

"Yeah we did. Not far from here. Just next to the river." said Jagan.

They all went there and Namaari said, "Wow! Right here is absolutely beautiful."

"I know right!" expressed Raya as she admired the flora. 

"Raya...here's a fact... The hibiscus flowers are also called Bunga Raya. And you're just as beautiful." said Namaari as she picked one of the flowers and placed it in Raya's hair.
