Tú Eres Mi Sol

"That knowing, is better than wondering. That waking, is better than sleeping. And that even the biggest failure, even the worst, beats the hell out of never trying." ~ Grey's Anatomy

"Dei!" Sophie shouts and walked towards her.

Dei was holding something. It seemed like Dei didn't hear her. Sophie has been pressing the doorbell for quite sometime. She grew concerned and used the emergency key that Dei gave them.

She waved her hand in front of Dei and kept saying, "Dei! Dei!", after about 10 tries, Dei finally looked up.

"Sophie! What are you doing here?"

"Michel-Jan was concerned he didn't see you at the usual hangout place, so he sent me. My My! That's a huge rock there. It must have cost a fortune. Wait, wait! Have you been proposed to? Who's the guy? How come I haven't met him? Are you on the family way? No, celebrations until you tell me who this guy is!"

Sophie looks at the ring more closely, "Not a lot of inclusions on the diamond, this is a very expensive piece!"

Dei looks at the ring and looks at Sophie. "It's from Christian"

"Christian, Christian, your ex or another Christian?"

"Christian, Christian."

Sophie's face looks confused. 

"Sophie, I don't know what to do with this ring!"

"Give me have the ring and I'll go now. Bye Dei! I've always dreamed to buying that limited edition hermes bag!" Sophie extends her hand to Dei.

Dei smiled. 

The doorbell rings. Sophie opens it.

"We have a visitor. Lord Rutherford. What brings you here?" Sophie did a curtsy.

Henry laughs. "Sophie, stop with your antics!"

"Henry! Why are you carrying a luggage, have you come to finally bring us to that vacation island that your family owns? Wait, I'll quickly go home and I'll phone Michel-Jan! I'll be back in a jiffy" Sophie pretends to run to the door.

"Sophie!!! The contents of the bag is not for me, it's for the beautiful miss here. It's from her grandparents"

"Who me?" Sophie says, "Awww.. Henry, you shouldn't have. I have a boyfriend, you know he's a jealous creature. I'm afraid I will have to decline your advances."

"Sophie!"

"I know, I know."

Dei was quiet all this time. Still looking at the ring.

Henry falls to his knees in front of Dei. "Henry, you're here!"

"Dei! Who is this creature who beat me in proposing to you? I shall challenge him to a duel!" Henry gets up and pretends to be in a sword fight.

"Well, Henry, Shall I tell him, Dei?" 

Dei nods. 

"Henry, Dei here, received this ring from Christian. Isn't Christian your cousin?"

"2nd cousin, actually" Henry corrects her.

"Henry, how's Christian doing? Do you know anything about this?" Dei asks Henry and pointing at the ring

"You know that I haven't forgiven him yet that he saw you first. I wanted to challenge him to a duel. Fencing, of course!" and Henry continues with his pretend sword fight.
