Lemina's Drama: Fate is so Beautiful
Chapter 5: Ronfar, you fool!
It was night and Lemina was in her room. Once again, Ronfar was haunting her thoughts. "It was scary.something enjoyable, yet painful.I feel so guilty." Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard a knocking on her bedroom door. "Lemina," began her mother, Miria, "Why don't you come downstairs and eat? All your friends are here and they'd love it if you'd join them, as well as I." "I'm not hungry." "Lemina, sweetheart." "Go away, please.just leave me alone! I need some time to think." Miria gave up her attempt and walked back downstairs.
"I'm sorry everyone, but Lemina still insists on staying locked up in that room. I'm worried about her." "I am too," added in Lucia. "I've noticed how she's been acting very odd lately. We all have. She doesn't seem to be her normal self." It was their last day in town, so Miria invited all of Lemina's friends over for dinner. Ronfar slid himself along with his chair out from under the table and stood up. "I'll go talk to her," he said. Hiro stood up and reached for Ronfar's shoulder as he passed by. "Wait a minute Ronfar," he said, "are you sure that's a wise thing to do? You know that." "You worry way too much, Hiro. It's not good for you. You really need to learn how to loosen up."
With that last note, Ronfar walked upstairs and knocked on her door.
"Go away, mother!" yelled Lemina. She was surprised when she heard "Your mother was a woman the last time I checked. This is Ronfar, do you wanna talk?" "Please.go away Ronfar. You're the last person I want to see right now." "Ow! He takes a direct hit," Ronfar whispered. Lemina quickly got up, unlocked the door, and opened it. "Ronfar, are you okay? I didn't mean it like that." The man was crouching on the floor with his eyes closed. Lemina kneeled down in front of him. "Ronfar?" He poked her forehead with his right index finger. "Softie," he said. "Now are you gonna let me in or not?" "Oh, all right, keep your pants on."
Mauri was beginning to suspect that something was going on. She got up from the table and said, "Excuse me, I think I'll check up on Lemina too." She walked towards the stairs and everyone waited until she was out of hearing range. "She suspects something," they all said. Jean sighed and commented, "You could read her as if she were an open book. It really showed in the way she was holding that napkin and she couldn't even concentrate on eating." "Well," added in Leo, "I just hope nothing bad is going to happen. I don't want to see my sister hurt by the one she truly loves." The scene of Ronfar and Mauri kissing that morning played in his head. "Oh, c'mon Leo," said Ruby. "You and Ronfar have been best friends for as long as anyone can remember. You know him well enough. Do you really believe he'd hurt your sister? He truly loves her, you can see it in his eyes." Everyone else agreed with the red dragon.
"But I wonder." Jean said, "What in the world did he do to Lemina? She's been avoiding him a lot lately and now she won't even come out of her room to eat. She hasn't even bugged us to join the Magic Guild lately either." "I know," replied Ruby. "She would've driven us crazy by now. I'm really worried."
When Mauri got to the door she heard them speaking. She crouched down and listened close. "So.where should we start?" asked Ronfar. "I know there must be a lot on your mind." Slowly, Lemina answered, "First.be honest with me." "Okay, fire away." "Tell me.why did you want to go through with." Ronfar softly whispered in her ear. "Shh.I think I hear something." He got up and slowly walked to the door. He crouched down and listened. Mauri's voice could be heard saying, "If Ronfar did anything.I swear."
The man walked back to Lemina and whispered again. "Listen, Mauri's at the door trying to listen in on the conversation. We might have to take it elsewhere." "I know a place we can hide," whispered Lemina, "but it's not going to be that easy sneaking out of my room." "I know.how about this? You get outside through the window and wait for me at the forest where we met yesterday. I'll go downstairs and tell everyone that you're missing. Then we'll all go and look for you, but only I will know where you are so I'll go directly to you.from then on you can take control." "I say let's do this." Lemina opened her bedroom window while Ronfar went to the door. "Are you ready?" he asked. Lemina was about to jump out the window but looked back at Ronfar and said, "Not quite." "Well, what's wrong?" "This." She walked up to him and kissed his cheek. "Now, I'm ready." "What was that for?" "Good luck." The girl walked back to the window. "Meet you in the forest." She jumped out and used her magic for safety. She then headed to the forest.
Ronfar quickly opened the bedroom door to find Mauri crouched down at his feet. "Mauri? What are you doing here?" He asked. "And why are you crouching?" "Umm.I.came to check up on you two. That's right." "Well, it wouldn't have done you any good anyway, Lemina's gone!" "What are you talking about, I heard you speaking with someone." "So, you really were trying to listen in weren't you?" "Well, I.uh.I have to be honest with you Ronfar, it seemed like something was going on between you two." Mauri's expression had changed to a sad one and she stared at the floor. "I'm sorry.I should've trusted you." Her eyes closed.
Ronfar put his right hand to her left cheek and turned her face to look at him. "Look at me, Mauri." The girl's eyes slowly opened. "Listen.I'd never do anything to hurt you. If I did, I'm sorry. That was never my intention. But I will be honest with you. There is something I did to Lemina that has made her act strange lately." "And just what is that?" "I.I gave Lemina her first kiss." "P-please tell me, I heard wrong.she stole it from you.right?" "No, Mauri, it's true. That's why she ran away so quickly this morning. What you thought was an act, kind of wasn't. In reality, it was just a replay of what had happened the other day. I didn't know how to tell you." "Ronfar!!!"
Everyone heard Mauri's furious scream and ran up to the stairs to see what happened. Yet again, the two were oblivious to the fact that anyone was there. Everyone just stood there and watched. Mauri began to cry like a waterfall. "Ronfar.you.you fool!!!" Mauri slapped his left cheek, turning it red. Ronfar slowly turned his face back to look at her. "Mauri.I take full responsibility for what I did, none of this was Lemina's fault. I know that what I did was wrong and I know I shouldn't have been doing what I did. Most of all.I know I shouldn't have lied to you or kept anything from you. You're right, I am a fool.and I don't deserve someone as sweet, kind, and as precious as you. Hehe.it really is stupid isn't it? A man trying to save a damsel in distress from a little boy, who's probably only eight years old. This man acts out a play without taking into consideration how his friend feels or how his girlfriend would feel. So though he doesn't plan it, he gets a little too carried away in his acting."
Everyone was crying, especially Leo. "How could you?" he asked. Hiro handed him an extra tissue. "This really is a sad story. What was the creator thinking? At least you guys don't know how it all started so it's less painful for you to endure." They all stared at Hiro. "He's been hiding something from us!" They all yelled. Hiro tried to calm them down. "Me and my big mouth. Umm.let's just finish watching okay?" They all settled down and did as Hiro suggested. This time they were eating popcorn.
Mauri balled her fists and began beating on Ronfar's chest until she couldn't anymore and just fell on him. Ronfar held her tightly as if he thought she was going to disappear. "Mauri.I love you deeply, with all my heart and soul. You mean the world to me. I'm so sorry that I am such a fool. I'm so sorry that I got carried away and became a careless man. I've made many mistakes in life, but never would I make the mistake of ever doing something that would make you walk out of mine." "Oh, R-Ronfar.do you really.do you really m-mean that?" "You know I do.cross my heart."
Ronfar passionately kissed her and everyone clapped. The two pulled away and looked at everyone. "You all know what to say, right?" Leo asked. They all nodded. Leo counted to three and everyone shouted, "That was a wonderful display of affections." The two lovers blushed a deep crimson. "Not again!!!" "I especially love how she stuttered," commented Jean.
"Everyone, there's something important that Ronfar has to say." Mauri said, trying to change the subject. Ronfar walked down a step and said, "Everyone.Lemina has run away." "What?!" They all asked in shock. Miria fainted and Hiro caught her. "She's crazy!" "We all better go look for her, now!" exclaimed Ruby. Jean began to take control. "Hiro, you stay here with Miria while we go look for her. Everyone, if we split up we can cover more ground, got that?" Everyone nodded. Mauri wished everyone good luck. "What are you doing?" asked Ronfar. Mauri smiled and said, "I know what you have to do, Ronfar. I heard the whole thing and.I understand.completely." Ronfar gave her a quick peck on the cheek. "Thank you." The group left the house and went in search for Lemina.
