Abyss Of Silent Heroes 131 Baldur's Sojourn By The Sea

" Thank you Lord! At least she's found someone to give her a baby and a man to give her genuine love. I was at fault but still it ends this way. I feel so much better that she's now a mother and with someone else, at least, I'm moving forwards too." He smiled while watching the horizon starting to lighten up.

In a minute, George seated beside him and spoke.

" Hi brother. Had a feeling of refres.h.i.+ng here too."

" Great to see you here, but how's Mayumi?" Baldur smiled.

" She was in a hurry was.h.i.+ng your favorite camiso. She thought you're very mad at her." George sighed.

" What? haha?" Baldur laughed and vibrantly stood up. He left George who was seriously astounded and ran so fast going back to the wooden house and while breathing too hard he knocked on the bathroom's door.

She opened the door while palpitated.

" Baldur?" Mayumi whispered.

Baldur then seated and smilingly washed the camiso."

" Hey, I can do it. I'm sorry. Shame on me." She awkwardly uttered.

" Shh...no worries. From now on, I'll be doing the laundry for you and I want you to keep using my things, its my pleasure." Baldur smirked at her.

Mayumi was puzzled and a bit tensed. She quickly got out and went up to her room - quizzically asked herself while seated by the bed's edge.

" Why? why he left us blankly with the lieutenant and returned with full of spirit. I'm confused. Hmm...anyway, I must relax for a while before Baldur could tour me around this place after breakfast. Yes, why should I worry, its just a camiso. Just a camiso, a man's camiso.....Oh my..!" Then she smiled and covered her face again but Baldur opened the door; went inside and seated beside her. She was speechless and moved a little backward but Baldur then motioned too close and removed the cloth that she covered on her face.

" I've got this very strong feeling on you. I know this is - love. Though, I don't further need to define nor describe it. Just tell me you like me then its enough. I'm urgently inviting you to marry me - today. I need your response."

" Y...yes."

" Thank you." Then he kissed her hand and she was still speechless and as if everything hasn't subsided yet in her mind. She was very still and leaned her back on the wall while he attempted to draw closer but she signaled him to stop where he was sitting and she unbelievably breathe and blushed.

" I'll go to Fr. Matias to officiate our wedding. It would be at sunrise today, any question?" Baldur smiled and pressed her hands.

" Don't ... move too close again, Baldur. It suffocates me. Just...just go tell the priest. I'll ready myself and at the same time, I'll try to wake up." She forcibly smiled to him with a reddish face and he gently stood up and ran downstairs. When he was at the kitchen, he found George packing some food for his wife.

" George, please do me a favor."

" Of course, what is that?" George asked.

" I'll get married to Mayumi at sunrise today. For now, I'll go to Fr. Matias and later talk to Dad, Magee and Albrecht about this. Right now, I want you to stay beside Mayumi for a while and give her more counsel about us. Bro, I'm dead serious of marrying, I love her."

" What? Oh my...are you really serious? Did you court her? not yet. Wow! this is unbelievable, but..congratulations Baldur, haha! you man! I can't still believe all these. Okay, I'll go up and talk to her."

" Thank you George, am leaving and talk this to Fr. Matias, Dad, Magee and Albrecht." Then Baldur left.

" Is he serious? I'll better go up and see the woman she was referring, haha! what a morning is this!" George thought.

When George reached to Mayumi's room, he found her still leaning her back on the wall.

" Hi! I just wanted to clarify. Is Baldur - getting married, today?"

" Y...yes." Mayumi replied.

" To whom?" George smiled.

" To me...he said , he'll marry me. I said yes. But am I still dreaming? can you wake me up, please."

" Haha! no. You're awake and in love with him too. See how you look like? you're happy. But as to why and how it started, I'm really curious." George helped her interpret her emotion.

" I...I'm not really sure but it started when your team rescued me. While on our way going here. The path was very slippery so I accidentally dropped myself but he was the one following me that time so he caught me before I fell. He was so gentleman but still he pressed my right hand a little and gently put me down. I was supposed to slap him, but I don't have any reason, I don't know.. He's...irresistible." Mayumi was filled with shame but smiled while blus.h.i.+ng.

" Oh dear. Congratulations, I'm sure my family would be very happy for this and will surely welcome you. But are you just okay? need help? Just tell me."

" None at all, I'll marry him today and I'll just be with myself. Hope everyone in the family will accept me too. Could this be possible."

" Absolutely. So what are you waiting for? let's go down and enjoy breakfast. Its boiled ca.s.sava with grated coconut and sugar. C'mon!" George invited her.

While on their way down, Mayumi still can't believe and upon reaching the kitchen she found the entire family, excluding Baldur who, for a while was still talking to Fr. Matias. Edward then stood up and welcome her at the table.

" Mayumi, welcome to our family now. Come, sit down here beside Magee." Edward spoke as he was very proud that his middle child is going to have a serious relations.h.i.+p.

" Ah, thank you everyone. I'll try to be better in this family from now on. I'm very happy too."

" After a while, Baldur came on smiling and looked so excited while seated beside Mayumi. Its an awkward moment but he smiled and declared.

" I'm seriously doing a genuine marital tie today hope everyone gets a clearer perspective to attend to my wedding at sundown. To note, I've got a wonderful spark for her. I felt that feeling so I decided. Not in doubt. Pretty sure." Baldur looked at them confidently and everyone laughed looking at him so momentarily serious and straightforward that made everyone finally happy for him.
