Chapter Four

Bumi awoke from his sleep and got out of bed. It was his 21st birthday, and he was excited. He walked to the bathroom and shaved his head. After getting dressed, Bumi strolled out into the gardens where he saw his girlfriend Meisha tending to some of the plants growing in the gardens. With a mischievous grin on his face, Bumi snuck up behind Meisha quietly and put his hands over her eyes. " Guess who beautiful?" Meisha smiled, " Let me guess. My handsome airbender boyfriend?" Bumi chuckled and gave his girlfriend a tender kiss on the lips. " Happy Birthday Bumi." Meisha said as she leaned into her boyfriend's warm embrace. " Thanks Meisha. Ever since I first laid eyes on you, I was immediately smitten." Meisha remembered the day that she had first met Bumi...

Flashback:

Meisha had come to Air Temple Island at the age of 16 to become an Air Acolyte. As she was walking around she accidentally bumped into a young man with airbending tattoos. " Oh, I'm so sorry. I guess I wasn't paying attention to where I was going." Meisha said as she helped the young man up off the ground. " It's ok, I wasn't paying attention either. I was too distracted by how beautiful you look." Meisha giggled at the young man's compliment. " My name's Meisha. I'm new to the island." Bumi smiled, " My name's Bumi. I'll be happy to give you a tour of the island."
Bumi showed Meisha his favorite places on the island and showed her to the dormitories. As he walked back to the temple, he had a smitten look on his face. His father and brother saw it and wondered cluelessly what Bumi was so smitten about...

Bumi smiled as he remembered the day he asked Meisha to be his girlfriend...

Bumi had gotten done training with Tenzin. After getting cleaned up and dressed into some clean robes, Bumi walked out into the gardens and saw Meisha sitting quietly while reading a book. " Hey there Meisha." Meisha looked up from her book and saw Bumi standing there. " Oh Bumi, I didn't see you there." Bumi grinned, " Well, we airbenders sure can be sneaky." Meisha gasped as Bumi handed her a bouquet of fire lilies. " Bumi, they're beautiful. How did you know I liked fire lilies?" " I would see you admire the ones that grow out here in the gardens." Meisha set the bouquet of lilies on the bench where she had been sitting.
" Meisha, there's something I've been wanting to ask you. Since I first met you, I was completely smitten. So what I'm trying to say is, Will you be my girlfriend?" Meisha smiled and hugged Bumi. " Of course I will. You're the sweetest guy I have ever me.." Bumi cut Meisha off by pulling her in and gently kissing on the lips. Meisha leaned in and kissed him back. Bumi wrapped his arms around Meisha to deepen the kiss. After pulling away, Meisha leaned into Bumi and he held her close...

end flashback...

" Hey, I don't mean to interrupt you two lovebirds or anything, but shouldn't you be getting ready for your party Bumi?" Kya asked as she walked over to her older brother and his girlfriend. " Guess I'll see you tonight Beautiful." Bumi said as he walked off to his room to get ready for his birthday party. Bumi got cleaned up and dressed into his formal airbender robes. After applying a little cologne, Bumi looked at the betrothal necklace he had spent weeks carving.
He had it all planned out. After the party, he would take Meisha out to the gardens and ask her to marry him. At the party, Bumi saw Meisha chatting with some of her friends. She was wearing a beautiful gown that Kya had given her to wear to the party. Bumi walked over to his girlfriend and pulled her out onto the dance floor. As the two lovers danced, Meisha looked up and gazed into her boyfriend's pale blue eyes. he did the same by gazing into her amber eyes.

" Meisha, meet me in the gardens. There's something I want to ask you." Meisha met Bumi in the gardens a few minutes later. " Bumi you wanted to ask me something?" She said as she sat down next to her boyfriend. " Meisha, ever since we became a couple, I knew it was destiny that brought us together." Meisha gasped as Bumi pulled out the betrothal necklace he had spent weeks carving. " Will you marry me Meisha?" Meisha embraced Bumi, " Yes!" She said as she kissed him. Bumi smiled as he tied the necklace around his fiance's neck. This was the happiest day of his life.

And that is the end of chapter four. Review and I will get chapter five written.
