Chapter 5
Celin looked at Zelda with impatience he wanted to know her answer.
" Zelda?" She looked at him straight in the eyes. I never knew that making a decision would be so hard! Zelda took in a big chuck of air and let it out slowly.
" Celin…. I love you and I want to marry you, but…." She looked away. Celin put a hand oh her cheek, and Zelda slowly faced him.
" But what, Zelda?" Zelda couldn't find the right words to say at that instant. She was a broken instrument at the time being, not being able to get played.
" I will only marry you if it's done the right way. Which is to go inside those doors and ask my father for my had in marriage! I'm sorry Celin, but if you do love me then you will do what is right!" Zelda turned to her heals and began to walk off. Leaving a very disappointed Celin behind.
-----
The next morning Alice Harkinian woke up bright and early. She went looking for Shiek in his room, but when she opened the door he wasn't there. He's probably not back from last night she thought. So she decided to check on Zelda. When she opened the door her daughter was still asleep. Well it is pretty early ,I guess I should leave her. So without a second thought she went down stairs to wait for her son. She was about to go to the living room when she heard a door open and close.
" Shiek?" she called out.
" Yes, mother it's me!" Shiek appeared moments later form behind the wall. Alice took out her fan and began to fan herself.
" Son, please next time come home earlier!" she looked at his head, " Haven't I told you to do something about that hair!" Shiek ran a hand through his hair and blushed.
" Sorry, Mother I haven't had time to do so. I was out late yesterday and this morning to find something our about the famous ,Celin Waters."
" He's famous! Well if things are like that then there was no use of going through all this drama! Why do you think Zel-"
" Mother, I didn't mean it like that. It's called sarcasm, Mother." Alice blushed form embarrassment.
" Anyway, what I'm tying to tell you is that I found out something about him!"
" Really? What?" Shiek took her arm and began to lead her to the living room sofa. Once seated he began,
" Celin Waters, is a nobody! He's in the military, but he's mostly put in as a security guard! Do you remember last year at the Winter Ball?"
" Yes.."
" Well that day remember that Zelda went outside for some fresh air?"
" Yes.."
" Well do you remember that when we stepped outside she was near a security guard?"
" Yes, I do!" her eyes opened wide in shock, " That man that was with her is Celin Waters!"
" Yes, that's him." Alice got up from her seat and began to pace back and forth around the living room. Throwing her hands in the air as she spoke,
" How! How could she fall in love with… with that… that THING!"
" Mother…"
" Who would fall for that STREET DOG!"
" Mother?"
" She is putting the Harkinian name in VAIN!"
" Uh..Mother.."
" I can not believe this! I just can not! How could that low life daughter of mine become such a-"
" MOTHER!" Alice stopped and looked at her son.
" Shiek! Where are your manners! Your father is sleeping upstairs, and you are here yelling when you know he's sick!"
" Uhh…yes, Mother I'm sorry! But I have to tell you the rest!"
" Then why didn't you say so? I was standing here with open ears."
" Mother I!… Oh, never mind!" Shiek got his mother to sit down again. He began to tell her the plan that he made for Zelda and Celin's relationship. As he finished his mother gave him a crocked smile.
" Shiek, you are indeed my son." He smiled back the in the same way.
" I'm glad you think so, Mother."

That afternoon Alice Harkinian was in the kitchen with her sister. They were discussing the daily rumors and news about the war.
" Have you seen, Aryll?" Impa asked her sister.
" No, why?"
" Well I rumor has it that she is the most richest woman that is still single!" Alice took out her fan and fanned herself.
" Of course she is still single, Impa. Just think about it," She stopped fanning herself and turned her back to Impa, " She may very well be the richest woman, but her looks are horrible! For a woman of our class she is the most ugly of them all!" Impa didn't like what her sister said. She quickly got hold of her sisters shoulders and turned her around to face her.
" Alice, that wasn't very kind of you!" Alice shrugged.
" It's the truth sister! The next time you see her my point will be proven!"
" Still Alice, that wasn't very kind! Looks do not matter," Impa let go of her sister and softened her expression, " What really matters is what's inside."
" Psh! That's nonsense, Impa looks is everything in this world! If you don't have them your not worthy of anything! It's a good thing our family has them. If we didn't Link, would have never asked , Zelda for her hand in marriage!" Alice quickly covered her mouth with her hand. She didn't want Impa to know about it yet.
Impa opened her mouth wide in shock, " Link asked, Zelda for her hand in marriage and she agreed!" Impa clapped her hands in joy, " This is wonderful I can't wait till the wedding! What do you think about the wedding date? Has she even figured what day she wanted? Maybe we should tell her to g-"
" Impa, Zelda doesn't know that they are to be married." Alice said cutting her sister off.
" What?" Alice was about to answer when she heard a knock.
" I'll explain it to you later, okay?" Impa disapproved but didn't say anything to her sister. Alice walked off and made her way to the front door. She saw Lily about to answer the door, so she called off to her,
" I'll get it Lily, thank you!" Lily curtsied to Alice and left. Alice made her way to the door. She stopped before it and fixed her hair and dress, before answering the door. As she opened the door she put on a big smile. What she saw she didn't expect, and her smile soon turned into a frown.
" You!" Celin looked at her without a trace of fear. He stood tall ready to confront the Harkinian family. He wore his military uniform and took off his cap in respect and put it under his arm. He bowed to Mrs. Harkinian.
" Good afternoon ma'am."
" What are you doing here!" Celin looked at her straight in the eye before saying,
" I am here to speak with the man of the house." Alice face was red by now.
" My husband is sick, and I will not let you speak with him!"
" Why not!"
" I know why you are here! If my husband finds out that you are my daughters lover, he will surely die from it! You are not to ask for my daughters hand in marriage!"
" But I am in the military just like your husband once used to be!"
" How dare you!… How dare you compare yourself with my husband! Unlike you my husband is a man with wealth! A man with a last name that means something! You on the other hand," she looked at him up and down, " are just a security guard! A nothing! So don't you dare show your face again in my home!" Celin was about to protest when Mrs. Harkinian slammed the door on him. When she turned around she took a step back in fright.
" Mother?" Alice was staring straight at the almost violet eyes of her daughter.
" Zelda?" Zelda took a couple of steps forward to her mother.
" Mother who were you talking to?" Alice straightened her self out as she realized that her daughter didn't know who was at the front door.
" It was one of those silly door to door sellers! I didn't want to buy anything, but they insisted so I slammed the door on them." Zelda frowned.
" Yes, but… was that really a way to treat them?"
" They wouldn't leave me alone! So I had to do something!" Zelda softly smiled at her mother.
" Oh, Mother." They were about to make their way to the kitchen when they hear yet another knock. Alice put her hands in the air in frustration.
" What now!" She quickly went to the door and answered it. Hoping that it wasn't Celin again, but when she opened it there was a woman standing there. She was pretty she wore a long brown skirt and a tucked in white long sleeved shirt. She had dark black hair and dark eyes. She looked like an innocent at the way she stood there.
" May we help you?" Zelda said from behind her mother. The woman looked at her with soft eyes.
" Are you, Zelda Harkinian?"
" Yes, and may I ask who are you?"
" My name is Emma Waters… wife of Celin Waters." Zelda put a hand on her chest. She was breathing hard she couldn't believe what she just heard. Alice looked at the mysterious woman in surprise.
" The wife of Celin Waters?" Alice repeated. The young woman nodded.
" But Celin is not married!" Zelda pleaded with tears streaming down her cheeks. Emma looked at Zelda with anger in her eyes.
" Yes, he is and he is married to me! We have been married for three years now! We even have a two year old son!"
" It's not true!" Zelda fought back, " Celin is not married!" Emma was inside the house by now.
" He is Miss Zelda! We are a couple! I just wanted to get things clear with you! He is my husband and my true love!"
" Are you sure we are talking about the same, Celin?" Zelda questioned.
" Yes, I just wanted to let you know that I do not want you to come near my husband! If you do not believe we are married ask him! Here," Emma showed Zelda her left hand, " this the wedding ring that he gave me!" Zelda looked at her hand in horror. No, how could Celin be married?Why! Why! Wait a minute…Now it all makes sense! He wanted us to escape so that nether my family or his would find out that we were together! Zelda couldn't take it anymore she had to get away from this woman. She turned around and ran up to her room.
Emma looked at the direction in which Zelda rushed off to. Then she looked back at Alice.
" I'm sorry if I disturbed your family ma'am."
" No, no it's quite alright."
" I just wanted to let Miss Zelda know that Celin is a married man. Also that he is off the market." Alice nodded , " Well once again I'm sorry, but I must be off now. My son is waiting for me." She turned around and made her way out of the Harkinian mansion.
