Alma Torran's Destinies Of The Heart

Festival

It has been a busy week for everyone at Alma Torran because of a certain event.

This day was a special day especially to the orphanage. It's the day when the orphanage was opened. Everyone in Alma Torran from outskirt provinces to the very heart of the Kingdom treasures this day for it has changed so many lives. Not even just change but also saved lives.

Everytime, a festival is held and the King himself is a guest. He gives speech or honor the ones taking care of the orphanage.

As people did their preparations the king went down to town along with his son to visit the orphanage before the festivities. It has been like a tradition now.

They, along with their guards were warmly welcomed as they entered.

"Welcome your majesties!" A nun named Eva greeted as she led them to the play room where all kids are.

David: I'm glad to see that all is doing well.
And by the way, where is Leih?

Eva: She is rather busy at the moment. Please forgive us your majesty.

David: It's alright. Do you need help when she's not around?

Eva: There's no need my king. There is someone who was raised here in the orphanage who volunteers to help.

David: Good.

Eva: Oh! There she is.
Sheba! Come over here.

Sheba just got there and upon hearing her name she walked towards them.

As Sheba was nearing them the prince slowly went behind his father and then turned around.

David: What do you think you are doing Solomon?

Solomon: I need to go... to the... bathroom!

Eva: Prince Solomon let me ask someone to accompany you there.

Solomon: No. I can manage.

After that the prince Solomon walked as fast as he could and left until he was out of sight. (Why must she be here now?!)

Finally Sheba was in front of the King and she bowed before him. "Your majesty".

"You seem to have a very interesting fate". King David said to Sheba while smiling at her.

Still, Sheba did not raise her head but her confusion was seen by the King.

The king then continued to discuss with Eva while Sheba went out to help in the preparations of the festival.

By the time Sheba walked out of the door Solomon came back.

"Well that would be for now" David ended their conversation and left with his son. As they were walking David stopped and turned to see his son.

"I expect that you would be here tomorrow for the festival". David did not wait for Solomon's answer and just entered his carriage.

They maybe father and son but they aren't that close. That's why they also have different rides.

Solomon entered his carriage too where a woman with brown twin braids was waiting.

"How did it go young master?"

"It went well Arba"

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

The day has finally arrived. All people were gathering at the very center of the kingdom.

King David came out of his ride and saw that only Arba was there aside from his guards.

"Arba where is Solomon?"

"I apologize my King but the prince didn't show up"

"And Falan?"

"She didn't want to come your majesty"

"What disobedient children they are"

David walked pass the crowd and went up on stage. He presented his speech for all the people, volunteers, helper, care taker, and children to everyone. Once he finished everyone started eating, drinking, dancing, chatting, and kids played. It was a joyous occasion.

While everyone were doing their own things Arba left the king and joined with some others.

Arba: There you are!

Falan: I can't believe you talked me into this, Solomon. There's like so many people aru.

Ugo: Falan is right. There's too many people

Falan: On second thought i guess it would be like a good opportunity to look for a girl for Ugo aru.

Ugo: I told you I don't need a girl!

Solomon: Come on Ugo, this'll be great!

The Four of them blended in with the crowd exploring every place and admiring the decorations.

"Ithnan? Is that you?" A familiar voice coming from behind asked. Solomon turned around and saw Sheba.

Falan and Ugo: Ithnan?

Solomon: Yes! It's me, Ithnan. Hey

Falan: Solo...

Solomon: This is Falan by the way. And this is Arba. And that guy is Ugo

Sheba: Nice to meet you

Arba: You too Sheba.

"Hey!" A man shouted. He was waving his hand while running towards them.

Arba: Wahid, Setta, what took you so long?

Falan: And like, where's Ithnan aru?

Solomon: I'm here. Are you blind?

Sheba was so confused on what was happening but it wasn't just her, even Solomon's companions were lost.

"Sheba!" Someone called Sheba and asked for her help in organizing something.

"Oh! I've got to go. See you later!" She said as she waved goodbye to the group and walked away.

Wahid: What the heck is happening?

Falan: I don't know aru. Maybe Solomon could like tell us aru.

Setta: This is so not cool.

Solomon: I'm Ithnan.

Wahid: Did his books finally have a negative effect?

Solomon: No I meant I told Sheba that my name was Ithnan.

Arba: Because?

Solomon: I sneaked out and she saw me and I can't just tell her that I am Solomon. There is only one Solomon in this entire kingdom.

Setta: That is definitely not cool bro.

Solomon: Just call me Ithnan whenever she's around alright?

Wahid: Yeah sure whatever. Now let's go eat! I'm starving I could even eat a whole cow

Falan: That's like so gross aru.

Wahid: Speak for yourself woman!

Arba: So where is the real Ithnan

Ithnan: I'm here!

The man called Ithnan said running towards the bunch. He was trying to catch his breath and he was sweating really bad.

"Sorry I'm late. Father issues". Ithnan reasoned out.

Ithnan: Hey! This is the perfect time to look for a girl for Ugo!

Falan: That's like what I said too aru.

Ugo: I told you I don't need it!

Ithnan: How 'bout you Solomon? Any plans

Solomon: I...

Wahid: Wait wait, let me guess.... Books. hahahahah

Arba: Let's just go.
