?
"Should we get married then?"
Dorothy checked if he was being serious or not. Then, she asked, "Right away?"
Ovior chuckled. "Do you not what a wedding ceremony is?" He didn't know she was so eager to get married to him. It made his heart warm.
"Of course! I want a grand ceremony. I want to invite all my friends. They will let my family know that we are getting married. Imagine how they will react if we get married without inviting them." She giggled just imagining it.
"What do you think we should do now? Should we prepare the guest list or your clothes?"
"If we must go out today, why don't we go to the shop?" Dorothy suggested. "Let's look around. I want to see what they have in town. I also want to meet my friends. At the end of the week, we can decide what day we will hold our ceremony. I want to order the best wedding gown in town. I want flowers in my dress and butterflies too. Can we make the butterflies move around my gown?"
"We can manage that."
"Then, this is what I want!" Dorothy became excited. She went on and on about what she wanted for the decoration and food.
Ovior obediently listened. Unbeknownst to her, he was smiling. He took note of everything she said. He didn't miss a single detail.
Three days later, Dorothy met her friends. Asha and Nisay. There was a parlor in the town. Ovior rented the entire place so that Dorothy could enjoy her time. With their entire parlor empty, Dorothy was at ease.
As she waited, Asha and Nisay came. When they saw her, they dropped their umbrellas. They looked like they saw a ghost.
"I didn't die," Dorothy said. She saw how pale her friends were. She felt sorry. "It was a fake funeral. You didn't see my body during my funeral, did you? It was fake."
As she tried to make them understand, Nisay fainted. Asha shouted as she held her, "Oh my goodness! Nisay! Nisay wake up!"
Dorothy panicked as well. She ran toward them and held Nisay. "Let's lay her down on the couch," she instructed Asha,
Asha's eyes widened in shock. The ghost came right in front of her. It even touched her best friend. How could she follow Dorothy's instructions? She felt weak on her knees and she fell taking Nisay with her.
In one word, the meeting turned into a disaster.
Twenty minutes later -
"Just... how..." Nisay weakly asked. She just woke up. Asha handed her a glass of water.
Dorothy felt guilty after shocking them like that. She also felt wronged. "I told you already. I didn't die."
"We were at your funeral, Dorothy," Asha said. She still had a hard time believing the thing in front of them was not a ghost.
Dorothy told them, "And I said it was a fake funeral. I was unconscious. I wasn't dead."
"But then..." Asha still couldn't believe it.
"My family decided to bury me," Dorothy told them the truth.
Nisay was beyond shocked. "What are you talking about?! Why would they?" she couldn't think of any reason a family would do something like this to their own. It was simply unimaginable.
"That's because there was no guarantee whether I would wake up or not," Dorothy expressed her sadness. "They didn't want to wait. So, they decided to bury me."
"So, they just buried you?!" Nisay exclaimed.
"Ovior stole me secretly. I was in the Magic Tower until now. He and his friends did their best to help me wake up."
"Ovior? Who's that? You were in the Magic Tower? How?" Asha was curious.
"You know Ovior! Didn't I tell you I loved him? He even proposed to me!"
"Wait... is he the guy whom your family didn't approve of? Did he finally become a magician?" Asha asked. "...I think I heard his name before..." Magic Tower wasn't her thing. She didn't know much about it.
"He is the second-in-command. When the Master of the magic Tower isn't there, he works as the Head."
"My Goodness! Is he THE Ovior?! I can't believe this! He is a famous workaholic and the most ruthless of them all!" Nisay was stunned. "How did you manage to fall in love with him? Hold on a minute, is he treating you nicely?" Since her brother was a magician, she knew a lot about the Magic Tower.
"What are you talking about?" Dorothy frowned. "Since when was he a ruthless person? He is the nicest of them all." She defended her lover. She saw nothing but the sweetness of him. she didn't like it if other people badmouthed him right in front of her.
"Are we even talking about the same person?" Nisay was confused. Thanks to her brother, she knew the magicians called Ovior a monster in human flesh.
"So, you have been abducted and saved by the Magic Tower Master and you are in love with each other?" Asha said. "...Unbelievable! It sounds more like a romance story."
"I know! And we are finally getting married!" Dorthy covered her face, feeling shy.
"Goodness gracias! You are getting married?!" Nisay screamed. She was excited, shocked, happy and more. All kinds of emotions just came to her all of a sudden. "I wish you all the best, Dorothy!"
"Wait, you just woke up and you are getting married. You also heard about how cruel your family was to bury you alive," Asha said. She couldn't get excited just yet. She was more level- headed than Nisay. "Dorothy, I'm sorry that you had to go through this. I'm so glad you are alive." Controlling her emotions, she hugged Dorothy. "Welcome back."
"Thank you." Dorothy choked. She hugged her friend back.
Nisay was in tears too. She spread her arms and hugged them both. After the emotional
encounter, they wiped their tears and ordered some snacks and tea.
"So, what's your plan for marriage? Did you talk to your family? Did they approve?" Asha
inquired.
"I'm not meeting them. I don't think I have the face to meet them yet. I also don't think they will approve of our marriage," Dorothy expressed her grief.
