~~~Chapter 3~~~

Deserve part 2

" shifu?" tigress said. When her eyes found a red panda on the roof. Oogway's wooden staff rested on his thigh. He had his eyes locked on the valley,observing every little detail. He turned around to give her a faint smile before his lips moved to ask her a question. "Tigress, what are you doing here at this time of night?".

"I couldn't sleep master" she answered and turned around to make her way back." Sorry to disturb you".

"No,I wouldn't mind some company" shifu's voice stopped her. " Yes master" tigress said before turning around. She kneed down and sat beside him.

A gentle breeze caressed her skin. Her sensitive ears heard the snoring of her beloved panda, the little hiss sound viper made. She even heard the Thud of the drops of water which fell ever so silently in the pound not so far from here. Her eyes moved back and forth as almost every thing caught her attention. The village which was illuminated by the bright moon. The cave were shifu would spend most of his time meditating. The peach tree where she was asked one of the most important question in her life, merely hours ago.

"But tigress your worth it"

His voice echoed. The events earlier moved here and there in her eyes

.

"Love you enough to know that your the one for me."

His voice jumped in again. She knew that he loved her, that she loved him. But she couldn't understand why? Why did he thought she was suitable to become his wife? Why does he loves her so much? She let out a quite sigh and unnoticeably shrug her shoulders.

Shifu looked up, tigress hadn't said a thing since she set. She looked uneasy,lost in her thoughts and he sensed a little hint of sadness.

"Po. He must have done something. I should have stopped tigress." his thoughts surmised. "Explain to her what a waste of time these kind of things are. If that panda did something hurt her"

He clenched his fist and brought it to his lips and cleared his throat to get her attention but it ended in a fail attempt. " Tigress?" He said but still got no response. "Tigress" he raised his voice level a little but silence." Tigress!"

"Huh? You said something master?".

" As a matter of fact I did." Annoyed, shifu answered.

" Sorry,master shifu" She apologized and grazed down. "I've a lot in my mind".

shifu took a deep breath before asking "something bothering you?"

" No" tigress lied. But shifu saw through it.

" so now your lying to your master?"

Tigress looked at him in shock and she shook her head.

Sighing, " you can tell me tigress" he said.

" I know" she replied rather quickly.

" then what's bothering you?"

" its nothing to get worried about" she mumbled. "Just something that I have to solve on my own"

" Did something happened?" Shifu asked. Tigress barely shook her head.

"Did po do something?" Shifu asked again.

Tigress shook her head again.

" Did he say somethin'?" He insisted but still got the same reply.

'Po what did you do!' Shifu's thoughts shouted. He knew that po was the reason for tigress's strange behavior. 'Time for the talk' he thought.

"Tigress as your master, i want you to tell me everything, to tell me the truth"he said. His voice was as calm as the ocean before a storm."Do i make myself clear?"

"But"

"Do I make myself clear?" Shifu repeated,controlling his annoyance.

Tigress sensed her masters anger.

Sighing,she said." Yes,master shifu"

"Good, now what happened?"

"he...he" she stammered "He proposed me" . Shifu's eyes widen. Out of all the things for which he was planing to have 'the talk" with po, this was not one of them. " Po did what?" He yelled at the top of his lungs.

" he proposed me" tigress repeated.

" what did you say?" Shifu asked impatiently. " I.. I told him to wait" she answered.

"What did po do after that?"

"He said he'll wait" she replied with a small sweet smile.

Silence followed her voice. Tigress allowed her eyelids to cover her ember colour eyes as she leaned back and took deep, slow breaths.

" What will you do now?" Shifu said breaking the silence. " will you accept it or decline it?"

" I'm going to accept it" Tigress admitted. As she straighten her back, and kept her paws on her crossed legs.

"Are you satisfied, happy?"

" I am" Tigress muttered.

" I thought I told you to tell me everything." Shifu said. His voice was soft yet in a commanding tone.

" I told you everything"

Shifu too deep breath. Tigress was just not cooperating but he wasn't gonna give up.

"Then why are you sad? Tigress, tell me"

Tigress let out a sigh in defeat. "I'm being selfish" she said.

" selfish? How come?"

Tigress bite her lips and closed her eyes. " you won't understand" she slowly answered but quickly added "Master."

" I believe I would, that is if your ready to try to make me understand" shifu said. Trying to sound as much as trustful as he could.

Tigress thought for a moment before answering. " he deserves better" she quietly said.

" who? Po?" Puzzled shifu asked.

Tigress nodded.

" why do you think he deserve better? I don't quite get it tigress"

" He deserves better, better then me" she spoke. " Yet knowing this, I'm going to accept his proposal. That's why I'm being selfish"

" Why does he deserves someone better tigress?" Shifu still a little confuse said.

" Look at me!" tigress shouted in anger. Shifu eyes widen, no matter what tigress always had the sense to control her anger. At least in front of him.

She took deep breaths to clam down. She grazed down. " Sorry, master shifu" she said.

" Its alright, but do tell me what's wrong with you."

" look at me" she repeated. Slowly, with sadness. " I can't feel anything" she said rubbing her right paw with her left one. " I don't have emotions. I'm not the diamond of this valley as Po claims. I feel my self lucky to be his girlfriend. I don't know how to care. I don't know how to be the one he deserves."

She looked away, and closed her eyes. Obviously, trying to stop the urge to let out even a tiniest drop of tears from her ember eyes.

After a minute or so, she continued. " Girls down the valley who are more beautiful then me. who are well not me. Are madly trying to get Po's attention. And who wouldn't want him? He's kind, caring, not to mention the dragon warrior, he replaced all that fat with muscles. Po is the handsomest, loving and caring men in the valley and who knows? Maybe beyond as well"

" And if he wants,he could get a line of beautiful girls ready to marry him. That's why I'm sad as you said. Because yet knowing all of this I'm going to make him mine. Yet knowing this, I'm being selfish. As selfish as anyone can."

Tigress stopped. Maybe because she had nothing left to say or no strength left to say.

" Tigress,this is " Shifu Said in soft voice. but was interrupted by tigress.

" This is everything " she said and slowly got up. " its late,I'd better leave master" she stood still expecting her master to excuse her.

'what would Oogway say?' Shifu thought.

" tigress before you go, I want to ask a question" he finally said.

She let out a big sigh before taking her place. " why do you love Po?" He asked softly.

Tigress looked in surprise. She wasn't expecting this but she knew her answer.

" I love him." She said."Because he makes me feel special. Makes me feel love. Because he's there for me. Helps me in my time of need. He's always there, as my companion when I'm lonely."

"In my dark times he's there to pick me up I feel like giving up, he's there to cheer me up. He is my best friend in good times and bad. When I'm in pain, he is there to comfort me."

She said and continued "Wherever i'm, he is always there to help me. He is my light of hope in my dark time. He is there for me, no matter how small the problem. When he holds me, I feel complete. I feel like I can do or be anything I want. And the list goes on. Shifu"

" the answered is wrong" shifu quietly answered.

" wrong? But"

" you choose to"

" huh?"

Shifu turned his gaze towards the village. " All those things you said. They were right yet they were wrong. Even After all Po did, or He is. You had a choice. You had a choice to truly love him. So did he. He had a choice to love you truly or to use you. He choose to love you. Thats why he proposed You. He proposed you not because he had too, but he choose to.

"That's why he wanted to bond with you in such a way that no matter what, You two won't be separated. Through good and bad times. Through the hardship of life. Through everything And so did you. Your going to say yes, not because you have to but you choose to. You feel guilty, but you love him so much thats why, you choose not to let him go"

Shifu stopped, and looked her in the eye. " you say you don't feel anything. But you do, whether it is pain or the warmness of a gentle touch. You feel. To Po, your his diamond. That's why he calls you the diamond of his village, of his home, of his heart. You said you don't know how to care but still you stood up awake the whole night taking care of Po, when he was burning hot in fever."

After a pause, he continued. " you said you don't have emotions, yet you love him enough to give the ultimate sacrifice for him if needed. You don't know how to be the one who he deserves because you already are. Tigress, this is all I have to say. You may be excuse"

Tigress stood up. He couldn't see her expression due to the reflection of the light. He didn't knew whether his words affected her or not. But all he knew that he did his job as a father for the first time right. That he did something to help her, help her emotions and thoughts.

" Goodnight, master shifu" she said with her back towards him. "Goodnight,tigress" he responded. His big ears caught her whisper. "Thank you, thank you soo much... Father" before she left towards her room.

Shifu smiled as he too whispered. "Your welcome my daughter". He smiled from his heart before his lips parted. " Oh, god. Please keep her and Po safe. please let only happiness come in their journey from now onwards" he silently prayed.

He looked at the sky to see its color changing from black to a mixture of yellow and orange. As the sun appeared above the horizon.

This was the sun rise of his relationship with his only daughter whom he loved greatly. And this time he will not fail.

That's it till now. Please,please, please, please review!
