"I am better now. I apologise for not attending the wedding. This is a small gift from ." I said as I forwarded the necklace. It was the sa necklace I was going to give Shui, when she had told about the oracle but in the end I was so shocked that she slept back that I completely forgot about it.
The man looked at and laughed, "your husband has already gifted the couple your second earring and a gold chain" he replied and then tried to return the necklace but i shook my head.
"It is for them, take it as a sister's rembrance." I added and moved back. He looked at with mixed emotions and nodded.
"Ummm.. do you know where my husband is?" I asked , looking around.
"Oh, we were busy here, so I did not see him. Maybe he was walking around to be familiar with the place or went out to look for a carriage, he was in a hurry to leave." he said and then looked back at the waiting people.
"Uh, then can I et the oracle once again?" I asked, hoping that I could ask for answers.
"Uh, then can I et the oracle once again?" I asked, hoping that I could ask for answers.
"Ah, no.. oracle did not et anyone in the morning. She only cos out and lets others enter when the sun is about to set or already set. She had never seen the sun." he added apologetically and I nodded.
I walked back to the hut with contemplation on how to convince Cassius to stay a day more here. He would never agree. Would he?
It was not like I was not worried about my family but I would not get another chance to co here. As if my destiny has brought here. Otherwise these are too many coincidences to deal with.
When I entered he was already sitting in and looking out for .
"Where have you been?" he asked with a bit of anxiousness, making surprised. I blinked at his abruptness.
"I went to look for you and give them a gift. Why did you give him your gold chain?" I entered by begging him but was surprised to look at the bed.
It had a variety of food, cooked at, rice, fruits and a few dishes I didn't know of. Only then did I realise how hungry I was.
It has been a day since i have not eaten food but just a few fruits.
"Co sit, eat sothing first." he said looking at my drooling face with a chuckle.
It was the second ti in my life that I felt the importance of food.
I coughed and corrected my facial expression and walked behind him. We both sat on the bed since there was no other furniture and started eating.
"Where do you get this much fruit from? I didn't think they cook so much in the morning breakfast.'' I said looking at the food, though it was not as lavish and scrumptious as the palace, it was well cooked and palatable.
"I have my own ways.." he said with a smirk and I narrowed my eyes.
"Just eat well, you need a lot of nutrition. You are looking pale and you are still weak and sick" he added as he continued to put food in my bowl
I would have argued with him if it had been any other ti, but I was actually hungry so I let the matter og and concentrated more on eating.
But it was not easy. I had never used my left hand to eat. And I was having trouble eating. Many tis the rice fell over my dress. And I sure looked clumsy.
He laughed hard when a drop of sauce fell on my dress and I glared at him.
He tried to muffle his laughter and moved towards .
"Give the spoon." he said and i looked back at him.
He shook his head and used his spoon to fill the rice and moved it towards . His hand was in front of my mouth and blinked.
He sighed as he looked at my stunee face, "open your mouth, Marianne" he added, "or else i am going to eat all the food" he said in a threatening tone.
I wanted to protest but my stomach growled so hard that I bit my words and opened my mouth easily.
He fed like a kid was fed, he was eating a bite by himself and then adding another one in my mouth. While all his mind was on feeding .
My eyes were looking at the spoon. He was using the sa spoon to feed both of us. Should it not be counted as an indirect kiss?!
Cassius who had always been very particular about hygiene and other things was sharing food with and that also wthi the sa spoon.
But his expressions did not have even a bit of annoyance. If any, he was looking pleased and proud by feeding . There was a pleasant smile on his face and his expressions were softened.
I was so imrsed in the mont that I didn't even feel the taste of dishes or how much I had eaten until I heard myself burping.
I closed my eyes at the embarrassnt. I was having these monts a lot these days.
"I guess, you are filled now." he said, chuckling as he finished the rest of the al. I was still surprised at how naturally he was doing all these things now.
I sat and looked at my stomach, I could feel a little bump in my stomach and I rubbed it with a satisfied expression when I felt his eyes on .
"What is it?" I asked and he shook his head.
"I was just wondering where all the food went." Then he looked at my stomach with amusent and then back at .
