I saw Rolfe & Pocahontas were dancing. But she seemed a little uneasy with him. Still we managed to escape glances for many times. But I was becoming impatient gradually. May be it's time to interfere them.
To my relief I found everyone had accepted Pocahontas warmly. No one commented about her difference. But I needed to give the credit to her. She really knew how to be a perfect lady. I felt really proud for that.
I was talking with Rebecca & other cousins to share my experiences with them. They always adored me & now they also adored my girlfriend. 'At last you fall for someone.' Rebecca smiled.
Suddenly we startled by a painful scream. I found Pocahontas sitting on the floor holding her ankle. I looked up to see Rolfe grinning towards me. Rebecca rushed at Pocahontas's side to help her. Fortunately she didn't break her ankle. But I saw it clearly that Rolfe tripped her over. I couldn't resist my temper. I rushed to him when he was whispering something to my father & grabbed his collar 'Why you humiliated her?'
Suddenly I found father standing between us. He was staring at me 'Where are your manners John? You are humiliating me in public. Did your little savage girlfriend teach you this?'
'But dad….' I tried to protest but he stopped me 'Don't make joke in public. You can't dishonor my nobility.'
I felt really distressed. I found Pocahontas burying her head in Rebecca's shoulder. She was distressed too.
After the dinner the guests gathered in the great hall. Dad stood up to make an announcement.
'Ladies & gentlemen' dad cleared his throat 'I'm very happy to say that my son John Gorge Smith , the heir of my properties & title has returned among us.'
The crowd busted into applause. Dad smiled & looked at the audience & spoke 'I want to declare the coming engagement between Rebecca Rolfe & my son John Smith on the next Friday.'
I lost my words. I never knew anything about that,. I looked at Rebecca who was as shocked as me. Suddenly Pocahontas fainted in her arms.
My eyes met Rolfe's. He was grinning evilly.
Sorry for a late one. I'm real busy for a while. So here is one before my birthday on 8 this month.
