After the Tragedy

I still don't own Tak. (Darn it!) I do own Artoor.

Reminder: Tak was sent by the chief to go far away to deliver a message.

Chief then told everyone that Tak was dead. Jeera faithfully said that he'd be back soon. Let's see.

Three years after the incident. (Previous chapter)

"Ah Jeera, there you are. Are you ready to meet Artoor your betrothed?" Chief asked his 17 year old daughter. sigh "Yes father. I just wish that Keeko hadn't left so soon. I feel so alone." Jeera knew that her father had sent Keeko away so that he wouldn't get in the way of the wedding.

"There, There Jeera. You won't be alone you have Zaria and me." Chief said. Yippie. Jeera thought sarcastically. "But Dad, its not the same. I... I wish that I still had a friend here." Jeera's eyes began to water. "Daddy, Artoor is here." Zaria said as she burst into Jeera's room. "Thank you Zaria. Jeera you should stay here." With that Chief left with Zaria close behind. As soon as they left, Jeera ran to her window.

"Ahhh. Artoor, what a pleasure to meet you. And your friend too." Chief said as he shook hands with the taller of the two men. Jeera studied Artoor for a minute. He was cute & tall, no doubt about that, he had black hair and blue eyes, but his wardrobe could use some help. His friend on the other hand was her height, brown hair, green eyes, "Why, he's the splitting image of... TAK!" Jeera thought.

"Hello Chief. Ah. This must be Zaria, your older daughter, am I right?" Zaria giggled wildly and nodded. "And who is your friend?" the Chief asked. "Sorry sir. My name is err Takeer." TAK-eer?" Chief asked worriely, "Where are you from." "I was born and raised in Kikari, Sir." Chief let out a sigh of relief.

Up in Jeera's bedroom, she had been wondering if the guy had been Tak too. "He looks so much like Tak. 'I mean, they could be twins.' Jeera thought. Soon enough she saw Artoor, his friend and her father come into the hut. "Jeera, come down here and meet Artoor." Chief yelled. Jeera took a deep breath and headed downstairs. "Hello Artoor." she said as he approached her. "A pleasure to meet you. Please allow me to inroduce you my friend Takeer." Jeera smiled broadly as Takeer bent over to kiss her hand. "Nice to meet you Miss Jeera." Takeer said. Jeera blushed. Even his voice sounded like Tak's, only deeper.

Guess what...? I updated! Hope you liked this chapter. Plz review.
