22 Familiar yet an unpleasant vibe (2/2)
”Well I just want to avoid attention that's all haha ...”
”I see. Zen's attire is so elegant I mean he dresses up so much ”
”He has to . Its the same for any king. ”
”I guess so .. Neil refused to tell me about you but I would love to know about you !”
”Ah is that so .. well there is nothing special about me . I know Zen from when we were kids and it was later that I became king of Edolas and left Isla . ”
” So does that mean you aren't from here?”
”You can say that . My history is long you would probably get bored ummm ... but .. I'll try to make it short . I belonged to a small village nearby Isla which is now called Edolas . It was never a part of Isla and it didn't have a ruler as well. So I took up the opportunity and worked on to improve my homeland . I came here 7 years ago to find work and met Zen as my work was related to the palace ... so..days passed and we got to know each other better and before we kew we were more than best friends to each other . Well ... that's my story ” He said rubbing the back of his head .
” Wow ! So sweet . You are very warm hearted person . I'm so glad meeting you”
”Oh you think so ? Thanks !!”
I don't know why but I feel he and I share something common . A familiar yet an unpleasant vibe . Something that wants me accept he isn't a stranger though I have never met him before .
Just then they are interrupted when Zen approaches them along with Neil . The sky changed it's hue and the sun began to set . The maids came with tea . They all sat on the white tea table .
”So what were you both busy talking in my absence ?” Zen questioned taking a sip of the tea
”Just working on how to steal her from you ” He winked .
”Wow ! Did that work ?”
”It's under progress ...” Zen laughed at his statement.Erwin had good sense of humour.
”Well wish you good luck then .” Alisha smiled . She was happy to see Zen smile and laugh . He enjoyed Erwin's company . Her heart was at ease . They chatted for sometime and headed for dinner . The Dinner was extravagant to celebrate Erwin's arrival . Zen reveals that he has decided on the date for their engagement . He wanted it to be soon before Erwin leaves since he didn't plan on staying long .
”Oh so it's finally done ! Phew ..” Alisha exclaims and lifts her glass of water to drink
”Woah you seem awfully insensitive to the engagement topic Miss.”
”What do you expect ? I ask him every single day you know you won't understand how it is to stay with a man who is a complete stranger ”
”Stranger ? The way you treat me I doubt that's the case . I'm going to be your husband Ofcourse ”
”Oh yes I wonder when I'll be able to call you that ” She rolls her eyes .
”My my ! I'm stunned how close you two have become ”
”Not really ! ”They both say together glancing at each other . Erwin let's out a chuckle . With Alisha and Zen meals are always noisy even in the presence of a guest .
