ring
Chapter One ~Bart's ring
"What are you doing, young one?"
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Whoa!" Citan Uzuki, retreated back few steps, surprised. Bart screams were so un-obvious for him.
Bart turned his back from Citan, and looked... hem, stared him with a frightful expression, like he was seeing a ghost. But if course Citan Uzuki, the doctor from Lahan, and former elements of Solaris was not one! "CITAN! Don't you ever try to surprise me like that!"
Citan, confused, pointing himself like saying What? Me? I'm the one who surprised, young one! But instead of that words, Citan shook his head. "I'm so sorry, young one. Were you surprised?"
"OH, YES I AM, DON'T YOU HEAR ME JUST NOW?"
"I could hear your voice from the Hangar, Bart." Billy entered from the Hangar. "So clear even from Remanzou's cockpit." The ex-Etone smiled his peaceful smile. "Margie was not in her room, of you tried to meet her."
"She's not? I MEAN, Don't you ever LAUGH like THAT again, priest-boy! I just hate it when you EXTENDED your devilish smiles!!!" Bart replacing his red blushing face with a angry like one, but it looked that he didn't make it, Citan Uzuki and Billy Lee Black was grinning.
"Sure you was." Billy brushed his blue collar with his right hand, focusing his eyes in the smallest spot of dust he could find in his sight. "Margie brought Prim to Aveh for a walk."
"AVEH?" Bart narrowed his eyes. "To Aveh? How did she..."
"She asked me to escort her and Prim there, I just returned from Aveh." Billy harrumphed.
Bart showed the face of, Why didn't he ask me instead?
"Oh, it's good for the little ones to have some times to relaxed themselves. They didn't deserved to be in men's field... No, they did deserve it, if they had courage, strength and will." Citan threw his opinions to the young men in front of him. "Don't you think so too, young ones?"
"YOUNG MASTER!"
The Three men heard rushed steps echoed to their direction. Sigurd Harcout and Maison came with blue colors of worries in their eyes.
"Young Master? What was your scream just now?"
Bart's face reddened, glowed in embarrassment soon as he realized how loud was his scream. "That's..." He could answer his helmsman's question. "Oh, Please don't act like sissy baby sisters!! I'm an adult now!! EIGHTEEN!"
Maison saw the weirdness of Bart's action when he put something in his right hand's grip to his red jacket's pocket, and the shook of nervous whenever his eyes met with Maison's. "What are in your pocket?"
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! I DON'T HIDE ANYTHING!!!"
Bart's scream go even louder, as Citan, Billy, Sigurd and Maison jerked back. At the same time, Margie's room door opened in a flash strike.
"WHO DARE DISTURBING MY SLEEP!!!??? TWO TIMES, Y'KNOW!!?"
The man seemed so muddled, his white hairs stormed out, and his old brown skinned visage was in fury.
"Father?" Billy was the one who returned his heads from two storms of screams. "What are you doing in Margie's room?"
Jessiah Black raised his head. "What in the name of the devils in the hall a-y' all!"
Billy seemed frustrated of his father's statement. "Father!"
"YEAH, Ol'man! What're you doing in Margie's Room!?"
Jessiah placed the What d'ya mean? expression towards Bartholomew Fatima. "HEYYYYY!!! Boy, d'y think I had some nerves to do that!!???"
They stared him doubtfully.
"LISTEN I TOOK A NAP IN MY DAUGHTER'S PRIM'S BED. I ASKED THE NISAN GIRL BEFORE, IS THAT CLEAR?"
"I can't just belief it just from..."
"Woo-hoo, what do we have here?" Jessiah cut Bart's words, and sniffed. "Cool Water for Men. Hah! Y'got some sense there for a boy!"
Bart held his breath as the other people tried the same actions to smell the scent that Jessiah had.
"Yes, it's cool water." Sigurd touched his nose to convince his smell. "To tell the truth, your cloth is sure neater than the usual ones this day, Young Master."
"Sigurd!" Bart yelled at him.
"I had some thought, Young Master." Maison declared. "Your actions, and your smell. Old Maison here thinks that you have something you hide."
"Yes." Billy added, with a uncertainty sight. "The flashy golden ring that you just hide in your..."
"WHOA!" Bart shocked, jumped, swearing at Billy. "You say that again, Priest boy!"
"Priest Boy? I like it." Jessiah smirked.
"Father!"
"Wait a minute? Golden ring?" Maison stopped his words, glaring both at Billy and Bart.
"At least, that I just saw."
"There's no GOLDENY RINGIE!" Bart sentenced.
"I'm sure there's one! There's no doubt for an expert gunslinger's eyes!!"
Billy widened his eyes, disbelief of his father's words. Is it my imagination or he just teased me!?
"THERE'RE NOT!"
"Oh, for the mention, young one." Citan entered himself again to the conversation. "Golden rings presented your golden love to you loved ones. Golden sure is precious. Married people often celebrated their Golden Anniversary to their biggest time in marriage. Hem, Golden one sure is a good choice. I think it will fit in Marguerite's finger."
Bart eyes' were shown a delighted expression, but then it turned in to humiliated one when he realized the faces of the grinning men like laughing at him. "WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT!!!!!"
Jessiah laughed freely first, then Billy, Sigurd, Citan, even Maison followed his laughter. Bart's features were getting redder, and even more crimson than the robe Margie usually wore.
"OKAY, OKAY!!! I AM BRINGING A GOLDEN RING, and I WANT TO GIVE IT TO MARGIE!! SATISFIED!!??"
"Yeah, That's better, Boy!" Jessiah commented, still half laughing.
"If I knew that from the beginning, I wouldn't surprise you in the first place, young one."
"Cut it, Citan!" Bart shrieked. "My feelings somehow told me, you HAD KNOWN that from the beginning!"
Citan beamed at the young prince, no... he's a king already.
"Hyuga had ways, Young Master!" Sigurd continued. "You wouldn't give it to Margie if you hadn't have enough courage to tell the truth!"
"Shit!"
"Young Master, please be polite."
"Yeah, Maison. I am."
Maison then nodded to himself, satisfied. "I just remembered something, the story of your great great grandfather of the Fatima Dynasty's story..."
"Another sleep time stories." Jessiah yawned.
Maison widened his eyes towards Jessiah. "Okay, okay." Jessiah then added.
"This is the story from the late dynasty of the Fatima, and I forgot, maybe it's after the Rene Fatima's time...
When the time's over for the king after the King Rene's time... It's so funny then, the new king's name was also Bartholomew Fatima.
"What!? Copyright stealer!"
"Maybe you're name taken from his, Bart."
"Billy, are you at my side?"
"Please quit it, young master, Sir Billy...
I will continue...
Then there's a time when this king called Bartholomew engaged with the Mother of Nisan, hum... I forgot its name.
"It started with a M?"
"Master Sigurd! I never thought you're such a person."
"Relax, Maison. Continue the story."
Hem, King Bartholomew never had any feelings for the Mother of Nisan that day except some cousins relations, now, do not cut me young master. I know you will say See what did I tell you. But, I know you have some feelings to Marguerite, haven't you. Now, let me continue...
"He said that already. But not quite right."
KING BARTHOLOMEW!!!! HAD CONFUSIONS harrumphed sound for a engagement present for the Mother of Nisan. He was so puzzled, he didn't even think a thing, and then he realized that he had to buy a ring.
King Bartholomew didn't call for a jeweler, he took some sightseeing at Beldavik to get one.
At that time, he found a jewelry store, and he decided to look for rings there.
The store was neat, clean, and filled with shiny jewelries... There's a fair lady who stayed at the store, and King Bartholomew saw, amazed of her beauty. He paid steps closer and said...
"Oh, boy. He sounds so old when he said that."
"Young Master!"
"I get it, I'll keep my mouth shut."
He said that he would buy a ring that would make woman to be happy.
'What does the lucky woman like?'
King Bartholomew paused for a while and answered. 'Let it be like your taste.'
The fair woman looked like an original woman. She tied her brown hairs into two, had some little freckles at her face, and amazingly blue eyes. But she looked so fair in the eyes of the King.
"She's a witch that wore charms."
"Young master, please!!"
King Bartholomew spent so much time in the jewelry shop to buy a single ring. In some way, he actually stay there for a long time, so he could see the face of the fair lady. King Bartholomew, among his words tried to attract her out from a merely discussion about rings and jewelry. For an addition, the lady didn't even know that he was a king.
"Cut it out! What's the girl's role!?"
"Amazingly, I guess she was your ancestor, young one."
"How could you know that, master Citan?"
"Well, the lady's phrase, and the way you said it somehow showed..."
"Oh, poor me, I disturbed the surprise."
Yes, the king felt in love in the ring store. He did buy a ring for the Mother of Nisan, a silver one, to say many sorry to her for abandoning her.
Instead of being angry, the mother of Nisan send him a reply, and contained a golden ring from Nisan, told him to be happily ever after with the lady, and they were.
....... (Silence)
"JUST THAT!?"
"??" Maison confused. "Yes, THAT. The ring then used to be the Fatima dynasty engagement ring, because it's a sacred item from Nisan after all."
"I think the most intriguing part when the mother of Nisan gave the king the golden ring."
"But that's WEIRDEST story I ever heard."
Jessiah continued. "Yeah, d'y have any sense of Humor there, Ol' Maison."
"I just didn't understand your thoughts, Young Master, Master Black." Maison shook his head.
"You didn't fall in love with the jeweler, did you Bart?" Billy asked, like teasing him.
.... There was Silence, Bart reached his right hand to his jacket's pocket, and took something shiny from there. He showed it to Billy. "He, I didn't buy it, Priest Boy."
"THAT'S..." Maison stunned.
