Chapter 10 – Lessons in Love
Hours later as the day turned into the night, Taka groaned and managed to open his eyes his body ached from the battle with Beya yet all he could think about was a lioness "Penda" he cried out weakly, Penda's eyes snapped open and she looked at him "Taka" she breathed looking at him, Taka's eyes widened "Penda, you're ok" he said, Penda nodded and nuzzled him, Taka groaned in pain but put on a smile his eyes welled up with tears as he looked at her " I thought .." he said welling up , Penda looked at him "I thought I'd lost you" she said , Taka put on a fake smirk and tried to look tough "it takes more than Beya to keep me down " he said , Penda gave him a look Taka sighed sadly , Penda rolled her eyes and licked his cheek , Taka looked at her a little shocked "what did you do that for ?" he asked blushing a little. Penda smiled and looked at him with a look of love and true happiness she smiled "because Taka I love you" she said, Taka smiled at her tiredly he lay his tired head back down and shut his eyes falling asleep his head resting on her back and he held her in his embrace.
As dawn came the next day Taka slowly opened his eyes and smiled watching Penda sleep soundly, he blushed a little "she loves me" he muttered not even taking his eyes off her she looked so at peace like all her troubles had faded, she stirred slightly, Taka nuzzled her it was early and he knew his father would be up soon but he wanted to spend all the time he could with his beloved the better the day would become.
Ahadi roared loudly and made his way down to see how Taka was doing, as he walked in he smiled Taka stared at Penda with half open eyes smiling lovingly at her he didn't even notice his father come in until he spoke "you sleep alright son?" He asked, Taka looked up slightly and jumped a little "yeah" he said looking back down at Penda, Ahadi smiled "you know I think you love Penda" he said, Taka blushed and looked down at her and said quietly "she sure is beautiful when she is sleeping" he said , Ahadi smiled "she reminds me of your mother you know" he said , Taka looked at his father oddly , Ahadi smiled "Tell you what son..when you feel up to it I'll give you some lessons in love" he said , Taka nodded 'Ok…so when will we have these lessons" he asked , Ahadi smiled "how about just as the sun sets" Ahadi suggested ,Taka nodded , he felt his eyes droop tiredly and he let his head rest before he promptly fell back asleep , Ahadi smiled and left his son to rest
