#Engagement

We went out of the meeting room to join the people who are dancing, eating and talking. I saw Nirobi going out of the Oxetor so I followed him.

"Nirobi?"

"Oh! Princess why are you following me?" He asked

"Please don't say that I'm a princess" I pouted

"Okay okay, I'm only teasing you but I think it's good than Pica right?" I could see his eyes were smiling

"You're really mischievous" I said to him

I saw him walking to the fountain and I was amazed to see a beautiful maze in front of it. I saw him looking at the moon

"Pica, did you still remember that I promised to be with you 24/7?"

"Yeah, why?" I remembered that he said that

"I broke that promise and I wasn't able to protect you" He said in a low voice.

"But you never promise to me that you'll protect me and it's okay. What's important is-" I did not finish my sentences because he said that

"Can I make a promise with you now?" He asked.

"I was looking at him and to the moon. I remembered something. This is when...

My mind ache so much while some of my memories flash back. I saw Nirobi holding me, he was really worried and he shouted for help but I stop him.

"No, Nirobi"

I saw that I was young and I'm am with Beatrice we were looking at the moon and making promises.

"Promise me that you will confess  your feelings to Lord Agathon after  my confession to Lord Shon" I said it to Beatrice and I continued "Because I will only love Lord Shon and nothing else than him"

I was very happy on that moment.

The ache in my head slowly going down. I was sweating and Nirobi was there to hold me and he said "Are you okay now? Let's get inside"

"No! I want to see Lord Shon" I said abruptly

"But why?" he asked

"I have something to tell him" I felt tired but I can still able to stand, I get away from Nirobi and run away from him

"Pica, Where are you going?!"

I was running going back to the meeting room to get my love letter to Shon and when I open the door he was standing near the window and he's all alone. I saw also my case on the long sturdy table, I'm happy that Miss Charie didn't bring my case back to my room

Lord Shon startled and as I look at him he was crying? I saw him earlier that he cried during my talk and now I'm sure of that because his eyes were swollen.

"Miss Eli, did you forgot something? "

"Lord Shon" I called his name and I suddenly run and hug him as if my instinct told me to do that.

"Miss Eli?" Lord Shon looked at my face. He was surprised

" Lord Shon, I'm so sorry that I forget about you. I am already back." I don't know but my mind suddenly telling me to say this and do this. Is this because I remember my feeling towards Lord Shon 10 years ago?

"Eli, I missed you" Lord Shon hugged me tightly and he continued

"If you remember me then may I ask you, did you still love me?"

The memories that I remembered and the confession I had with Beatrice is just like a feeling of yesterday

"Yes, of course I will only love you Lord Shon"

"Eli, I'm sorry to what I've done to you before. I want you to forget all of that" I know what he saying. He slapped me before but I should also apologise because I punched him too.

"I'm sorry too"

We both smile.

"I'll announce to everyone that we will be engaged as soon as possible" we are now facing each other and holding our hands.

"Hmn" I just nodded.

Lord Lei entered and he saw us together holding our hands.

"Oh! Did I disturb something? Lord Shon?"

Lord Shon became serious and said "I'm going to talk to him first" he walk fast and pulled Lord Lei outside the meeting room

I stayed and wait for him inside I sat on the couch and I rest my head it was like my head is pounding so hard.

******

*Outside the meeting room

"Lord Shon, please explain what I've seen?"

"We will be engaged soon."

"What?"

"I don't want to lose her anymore. I can't! and this time I'll do the right thing"

"Lord Shon, do you think she really remember everything?"

"She said that she loves me and that's important enough"

"I think Lord Shon, that her love is shallow"

"then I will still hold on to that shallow love"

"It's stupidity Lord Shon, I tell you this she will hate you"

"No, Lord Lei, I will make her to love me even more"

"We'll see about that"

"Lord Lei, I have a request, can you relay to anyone about this since you are our witness. I want all of them to know our engagement"

"If you wish my dear Shohony"

"Don't call me that"

I just felt that someone was putting me in the bed and whispered

"Goodnight, My Love"
