Marriage promise
FATOU:
(We decided to stay. The villagers were very nice to us they gave us two room for us to stay. I went to my room but I couldn't sleep)
Hmm, I'm thirty.
(on my way to the kitchen room
I spot someone on the terrace)
Soji
SOJI:
Can't sleep
FATOU:
Yes? But I'm little bit thirty.
SOJI:
I have water over here.
FATOU:
Thanks.
SOJI:
Fatou listens.
FATOU:
Huh.
SOJI:
I am so sorry Fatou.
FATOU:
About what.
SOJI:
I'm the one who told duke Howard how to tick it.
Now he wants to fight, I should have to keep my fat mouth shut.
FATOU:
Not at all! In fact thanks to you I will get a chance to tell my father and others were to tick it.
They set up this game, they all anticipate me losing and now I'll be able to change the score and prove them wrong.
SOJI:
I… well I'm just glad you not going with this bullshit marriage proposal, that takes balls.
FATOU:
The proposal was the eras of house vermillion family,
"because of my title, I'm not ever recognized as Fatou.
The Vermillion family will always come before me.
I learn to adjust it and make a personal decision accordingly
Make no mistake
My title is something I will always take pride in.
But when it came to the subject of marriage I wanna share that with someone who loves me as Fatou, not how my status can improve their life.
Otherwise, they might as well marry the house.
I understand that history is not my favorite and the idea of love might just remain a dream.
But that what I like to keep".
SOJI:
"I like you and I don't care what your name is I like you for who you are.
Victoria title doesn't define who you are, it is just an empty title and anyone who thinks otherwise doesn't know you". You are incredible
FATOU:
Huh!
(smile)
SOJI:
What, did I say something weird.
FATOU:
Not at all,
Thank you
I feel happy to have you.
You might not realize it. But I'm happy you said that.
Pause
So how about it Soji Will you marry me
SOJI:
(Blush)
YOU!
You shouldn't say something like that
(he kneels before me and said)
Fatou will you marry me when this is all over
FATOU:
(oh! smile)
Yes!
I will AND I LOVE YOU
SOJI:
I LOVE YOU TOO.
FATOU:
Oh!
SOJI:
What's wrong.
FATOU:
It's just that I remember something.
SOJI:
What?
FATOU:
The dragon tail technique, it a powerful technique that can defeat anyone if you use it correctly but also very dangerous. Only a few people were able to use it, I think you'll be able to use it.
(smile)
SOJI:
Can you teach me how to use it?
FATOU:
Yes! then you should prepare yourself because I am a very strict teacher, I won't go easy on you.
SOJI:
OKay, I'm not the type of person who is afraid of hardships
FATOU:
(I SMILED at him, and he kissed me on the forehead. I'm the type that doesn't believe sex before marriage. I always promise myself that I will stay innocent until I get married).
Fatou, not knowing what awaits her was something she didn't expect will happened, and that will change her life forever. No one knows what to expect in the future. Will it go for the better or for worse.
