CHAPTER 2: CAN YOU WEAR TWO RINGS!

''So how was your little romantic trip?'' Ho-boe asked.

''Dad!'' Musa shouted.

''Okay, okay but you'll see its better than dating that orphan boy.'''

''We need to talk!'' Musa said.

''Sorry dear, I have to go to the council, but we can talk later''. Musa's father said.

''Dad! I said we need to talk so that means we need to talk!'' Musa stomped feet.

''okay!''

''How can you even say something about Riven, you know I love him and I thought you liked him now. You know I can't marry James and in such a young age''. Musa said.

''Musa you are 21, you should start to take responsibilities besides you are not going back to alfea for another 8 months, and James love you too. He's a great young fellow and he is royal''. He explained.

''Dad, I don't care if he is royal, you are so naughty, you knew I had feelings for James for a long time so you planed this. Sorry but if you think I'll marry James then you are mistaken. I love Riven''. Musa snapped.

''I knew you say that, but do you think Riven will ever ask you to marry him, you've been dating for 7 years and the last year with those braffilus and kalshara villains, he abandoned you when you were hurt''. Ho- boe whispered.

''He was in a spell''. Musa explained.

''Think about this, Riven will never marry you, plus he hurts you, he can never give you what you need and he is not royal on the other hand you always liked james, he is royal, you'll be a queen and he will marry you whenever you say. Think Musa''. Ho-boe walked away and left Musa in a deep thought.

….

9 months later:

''Musa you're back''. Flora hugged Musa.

''Yeah! Where is every one?'' Musa asked sitting down.

''Sleeping, we had a rough night, we were out at the mall, and then we met the guys and stayed awake the night so every one's tired.''

''Oh! I guess you had a party curtsey of Stella.''

''Yeah''. Flora giggled.

''What that on your finger?'' Flora asked noticing a diamond ring on Musa's finger.

''Oh, that is just nothing''. Musa lied.

''Well it is something because a diamond ring is not cheap and it looks to me like a….''

''Engagement ring… no... it's not that! Why would you think that?'' Musa lied.

''Don't lie! I won't tell anyone. Oh! Is it from Riven? You too moved on? That is great!'' Flora cheered.

''No! It's from prince James.''

''Who is that?'' Flora asked.

''Promise me you will not tell anyone especially not Riven!'' Musa begged.

''Promise''. Flora smiled.

''Well you see James is a friend, I always had feeling for him but this time when I visited home my father set me up with James and told me that he is my future husband. At first I didn't agreed but then I realized that James is better than Riven and I know Riven will never ask me to marry him, not ever so I got along with James and I fell for him, I always had feelings for James and now I'm engaged with him and we also did it.''

''You did it!'' Flora smiled.

''Yeah!''

''But Musa what if Riven ask you to marry him?''

''He will never, you know him!'' Musa looked down.

Oh Musa if you only knew that Riven have been waiting to ask you, he is waiting for your return! Flora thought.

''Flora! Snap out of it? What are you thinking?'' Musa shake her.

''Oh, nothing I was just thinking that you really are good with your feelings, you moved on and now you are going to break up with Riven. You knew him for a long time. But I'm happy for you''. Flora smiled.

''Hmmm!'' Musa smiled.

''The guys are coming to visit in an hour may be you can talk to Riven then''. Flora informed.

''Yeah, okay''. Musa walked in her room.

….

Come on Musa pull it together, you can do this, you deserve much more. It's no big deal it's just break up, thing happen, you have to do this, Riven will understand, yeah he will understand!

''Hi Riven!'' Musa walked towards Riven.

Riven had a bright smile on his face today because he was gonna ask Musa to marry him, he waited 9 months.

Today is the day! Riven thought.

''Hey Muse!'' Riven grabbed Musa close to him.

Oh Riven why do you have to be so cute and attractive. Wait what am I thinking I'm here to end this but I think I'm falling for Riven, no this can't happen, but I can't resist him. Musa thought.

''Musa can we talk alone, I have to tell you something''. Riven asked.

''Yes I have to tell you something too''. Musa and Riven walked out of alfea.

''That is so sweet!'' Stella said looking at Musa and Riven.

''Yeah!'' Brandon nodded.

Every one looked happy but Flora knew this was not sweet.

….

''You first'': Riven said to Musa sitting under a tree.

''Riven, I am sorry about this but I have to tell you''. Musa said without looking at Riven.

''I have to tell you that we can't go on, I guess what I'm saying is that I'm breaki…''

Musa was instantly pulled by Riven and that moment riven's lips touched musa's and both of them closed their eyes, Musa wanted to break apart but she couldn't resist it and responded wrapping her arms around Riven's neck.

Finally Riven broke the kiss.

Musa realized Riven didn't listen to her.

''I missed you Musa''. Riven smiled kissing musa's cheek.

''I did too!'' Musa said.

Wait what am I doing, I can't do this, but I just can't break up.

After a while.

''Musa can I ask you something?'' Riven said.

Musa saw Riven pull out a ring case from his pocket and she got scared. What is she going to do, Riven will ask her to wear the ring and she can't resist him, but what if Riven see's James's ring. That can't happen.

''Riven, look I missed you too but I think we should keep what we are for now, I'm not ready to move on, I know you want to take a big step but I'm sorry, we can do this later, may be you can ask me next time''. Musa excused.

''Okay!'' Riven sadly replied.

''Thanks, I knew you understand''. Musa put a fake smile.

''Let's go back!'' Riven helped Musa stand up.

….

''Bye Riven!'' Musa left riven's hand at alfea gate.

''Bye Musa!'' Riven kissed musa's cheek and walked away.
