Alma Torran's Destinies Of The Heart

Help Buddies

Solomon thought about what Ugo said and wanted to give his happiness a shot. He could try asking Sheba out maybe? Or having a stroll? Or go somewhere to eat?

There was no problem on what he would ask her but the big problem was how he would ask her out.

Solomon was never the romantic type. He never dated anyone before nor did he have feelings toward anyone. It was the first time and he seriously don't know what exactly to do.

"Of all the people, why did I ask you again?" Solomon asked the man who was with him, walking and at the same time, patrolling the town.

"Because I am the only one who has a girl in my life. You're just starting and you need my experience" The tall muscular man said.

"You can't even bring yourself to confess to Falan back then. Not to mention the time you gave her a flower and you were so nervous that you almost broke down" Solomon was recalling the times back then, when they were all in the garden and Wahid was trembling, not in fear, but in nervousness. He walked straight to Falan, offered the flower to her while looking away.

"Hey, you're no different from me back then. That's why you needed my help, right?"

"Yeah. You're right"

"Anyways..." Wahid nudged Solomon. "What got you into Sheba?"

"Eh?" Solomon was confused and he didn't know what Wahid was talking about

"I mean, she is petite and her... 'assets' aren't that much but her magic is beyond awesome. So..."

Wahid was just messing with Solomon but then the slightest. looked at Wahid with a furrow in his brows. He wasn't happy and didn't find it funny in the slightest.

"Hey! I was just joking, come on!"

"I know" Solomon replied with a smile.

"Why don't we go look for that flower then" Wahid led Solomon along the streets of Alma Torran and went to the garden of the kingdom. It has a huge green house, a wide park, and an open meadow-like area which was being maintained by magicians. All kinds of plants are grown in there. It was the perfect place.

Wahid told Solomon everything he knew about ladies and of course he was basing it on his wife. Solomon listened carefully to each detail and put into mind all of Wahid's advice.

It was now lunch time and everyone  except Falan and Sheba were at the dining hall. Falan took Sheba with her on a mission at the north to take care of some misunderstandings in the place. It was perfect for Solomon.

For some reason, Wahid was late. As for Solomon, he didn't really know what Sheba's favorite color is, favorite food? Favorite flower perhaps? Maybe the other's can help... But he was quite shy to ask his friends about it.

He always said that he didn't want to get married. That his happiness comes from his people. That he only viewed Sheba as a friend. That he wouldn't possibly fall in love. But, here is he now. Deep in thoughts and confused on what the right thing to do is.

Solomon sighed heavily and his friends all looked at him. They realized that something was bothering their king, their friend.

Ugo: King Solomon is something wrong?

Solomon: Ah. Nothing important.

Solomon just stared blankly at his food and he didn't even touch it. The others looked at one another with concerned faces.

Ithnan: I saw you with Wahid in town but I had something really important to do that's why I wasn't able to join you. What we're you doing?
