Chapter Twenty Six

Shael

" Why Nyle?, Why not you? " I'm uncertain,'' asked Guru.
He passed his eyes over the phone's display. He rested his free hand on the car's skin.
" I've work to do, I promise, I'll be there, when it's back to home. " he said.
Nance was approaching us, there was a girl with her. Both had the same height, five feet and six inches, and the same complexion.
" Good morning, Sir. " Nance said.
He grimaced and then nodded at her.
" Good morning, Shael, Nyle. " Nance said.
" Good morning ladies. " Nyle said.
" This is Emma White, Sir. " Nance told Guru.
" Hello, Sir. " Emma said.
" Do you know your job? " Guru asked.
" Yes, Sir. To protect ma'am. " She said.
" To protect whom? " I asked in a louder tone.
" For you, our fragile doll. " Nyle proclaimed teasingly.
Guru giggled at his comment and embraced me.
" I'm what. " I exasperated.
" My doll. " Guru said with impishness and pecked on my cheek.
I smiled hearing it from Guru, I hung my head in disappointment in pretending way, " I'm not breakable. "
" No, you ain't. " Guru gestured at Nyle with his deep blue eyes. Sincerely, I couldn't discern whether these brothers sign language ever. They always perplexed me. But I love the affection and thickness of their brotherhood. I desired for such kin from my brother and Sammie. But I haven't such a fund of luck.
" Are you alright? " he anxiously asked.
' Sometimes, I strongly feel, he can listen to my thoughts. How could he guess the right one every time? I should cease thinking, when he's around. There's a tiny smile tug on his face. ' I reckoned.
" Yes. I don't want one more babysitter. " I replied to Guru and narrowed my eyes to the new babysitter.
Both brothers grinned instantly, " It's for your own good. I've chosen her after one hundred girls. " He said, showing all his teeth.
My mouth gaped and I blinked to digest what he had told me.
" See you. " he said and I was watching Guru walk away from me. I hated to witness him moving away without me. He got in his car and he was chuckling as he had heard me again. I should change my habits, exceptionally this one.
Nyle held the door for me and I got in his car. He sat in the driver seat and Nance and my new babysitter were in the back seat.
" We're in the same class, so you don't need your Bodyguards. " Nyle said with a gusto.
" Really! " I was happy, at least for some time, no one would watch over me.
"You will like there, You'll learn to conjure, read about wonderful creatures and would get an opportunity to know them and study about them. Bro has added plants study in your schedule, you love greenery. " Nyle asked with a grin.
" I like to watch greenery, not interested in studying them, they have a large and difficult name in plants related books. I will fail in this subject. " I said with downheartedness.
" You'll not fail in it. There's bro, me and obviously Steve, he's an expert in it." He positively said.
" Why WC? Why didn't he admit me in human college? There Are so many colleges. " I asked.
" We're shifting there, Bro will never let you away from him. He can't leave you here alone. Time is changing. " He said the last sentence disconsolately.
" What's your meaning, time is changing. " I asked fervently.
" Nothing. " he retorted. He didn't say anything next. Nyle was driving so fast that if I put my ear next to the door's glass, I could hear the sound of wind and I would not hear anything in it.
Nyle pulled over the car, it was looking as I was in the ancient world.
" Why is this place looking older!? " I asked, running my gaze around.
" We will get our stuff here and most important your wand. " he said, opening the door for me.
" Nance got the rest of the stuff. " Nyle asked.
" Take her with you. " I told Nance.
" No, She will not, Sorry brother's order. " Nyle said, giving me his sympathy look.
I rolled my eyes, " Whatever. " I said.
Nyle started to walk and I was trying to match my steps with his long strides. First he was walking straight, then took left. I was behind him. New baby sitter was walking along my side two feet away from me. She should thank this two feet distance, I was controlling myself from not hitting her, but I was longing for it . Although, that was another zone. I didn't even hit an ant, except Sammie.
" It's forest Nyle, Where is the wand shop? " I asked him, examining my every step. I didn't want to fall in my high heels. The road was full of debris.
" We are not going to purchase it from a shop. " he laughed just a little. His back was on me, but I could hear him, as we were the only visitors.
" Does a wand grow on a tree? " I asked him. But in wizard movies, they purchased it from the shop.
" Kinda. " he replied, I could guess from his tone, he was mocking me. My feet stumbled and were going to fall. luckily, someone held me from my arm. I knew the touch, without beholding, I could tell, who was this, " Guru. " I screamed in a gutsy tone.
He scooped me up, " How do you know? " he said, tugging a little smile on his face. With this smile, he was killing with his look. I wrapped my arms around his neck.
' Because I love you. ' I thought, " Because you're my husband. " I replied.
Guru halted and there was complete surprise on his face. His phone rang in his pocket and it broke the astound look on his face.
" May I. " I asked him smilingly.
" Yes. " he nodded. I fished for his phone in his pocket and hit the answer, putting it near his ear. He took only a few seconds and didn't say anything much. He gestured to me to cut it. I did and put it back in his pocket. I placed my head on his chest. His heartbeat was running pretty fast, I couldn't count it. " Am I that heavy? " I asked him.
" You weigh nothing. " he replied, blushing. Why on earth would he blush?
" Your meeting. " Nyle asked, the look he gave him, I could reckon, it wasn't about meeting. it was something else.
" Shael is getting her wand. I think it's important for her. " Guru told him with no expression.
I clapped my both hands in cheerfulness, " Yee, we'll break wand from tree together. " I chirped, " But how will we know the right one for me? "
" Who told you this? " it changed his facial expressions.
" I asked him, ' Does it grow on trees? Nyle said, kinda. " I replied.
Both flashed a full smile to me, " There isn't any wand tree. You'll see, love. " He smiled.
His love word did some magic on me, I covered my face with my one hand. " Are you blushing?" Guru asked.
I bit my bottom lip and nodded my head left to right to say him no.
" Here we're. " Nyle declared.
Guru put me on my feet, " You don't need heels. " Guru said, making eye contact with me.
I broke the gaze and turned my eyes to see. It was a huge green and lemon colored grass ground. I removed my heels, held them in my left hand and started to walk. There were people dressed like ancient, they were doing something around trees like watering and removing dry and yellow leaves. An old man was sitting on an old chair and an old table was laying beyond him.
" How are you, Patrick? " Guru asked with a smile on his face. It seemed as if they knew each other for many years.
" Guru. " That man stood from his chair and spreaded his arms for a hug. Guru hugged him back, Nyle gave him a side hug.
" What can I do for you young man? " he asked Guru, with a huge smile over his face.
" My wife needs the wand. " Guru put his hand on my shoulder, brought me in front of him.
" You got married, congratulations, let me see her. " he said gladly.
He saw me with his light green eyes, " Lucky man! She's beautiful. " he said to Guru.
I giggled, " I need to see your hands. " he asked me.
I threw my heels on the ground and wiped it over my jeans. I showed my hands to him.
He fully concentrated on my hands. He was carefully and conscientiously watching my hands, as he was digging something from it.
" Are you a chiromancer ? " I asked him.
" I will read your hands and tell you, What kind of wand is made for you. " Patrick replied.
He merged my right hand with his left hand.
He jolted and stood from his chair. He said something loud, in another language. I couldn't catch it. He said it again, " Princesa de Flora. "
Everyone present there in the garden, stop doing their job. Nyle, Nance, Emma and all were staring at me without blink and opened mouths. Guru and Patrick were glaring at one another as something unexpected had occurred.
" Am I ominous? " I broke the muteness.
They ignored my question, " Are you sure? " Guru asked Patrick.
" Yes. I have something, it can verify your doubt. " He said.
" Wand and crown! " Guru said.
Patrick nodded with a smile.
He went on ground, his one knee was on ground and second a bit above. His right hand was on his heart, " Flora princess. " he said in a loud tone, so all could hear him.
" I'm what? " I almost shouted in shock. I turned to look at Guru. He was on his knee, also Nyle and all.
Should I do this? Is there someone in the air? I looked above and got nothing, " Guru! Stand up. You all stand up. " I bawled, " There's no one in the air. Or I couldn't see it as I'm human. "
All stood on their feet, " This way, princesa. " Patrick said, still a bit bending.
I didn't move, it was flowing over my head. Guru offered me his hand and I took it. He was guiding me in this beautiful forest. I was bare feet. It was a beautiful aisle covered with grass, it wasn't grass, but it looked like grass. It was feeling so soft under my feet. When my feet touched them, it was making new buds, these buds were blooming in pretty and small pink flowers.
" Are you doing magic Guru? I haven't seen this before and nobody did it for me in my life. " I said it with a great and genuine smile on my face. I was mad, he had powers, he could do anything.There was a smile and astonished look on everyone's face, including Guru. I couldn't get it. They halted in a beautiful garden. Guru didn't answer me, it troubled me. My surrounding was filled with uncountable species of flowers. My eyes caught a flower, " Rainbow flower. " I shouted with excitement. I looked at Guru, he let my hand go. I quickly walked toward it. It was showing all colors of Rainbow. I tenderly held it in my hands and kissed it. Abruptly, a rainbow came out of it and spreaded in the blue sky.
" Wow, Guru. How did you do that?" My cheeks started to hurt with the smile. He didn't reply to this question either. He was beholding me, with a huge smile on his face. I explored the garden. Suddenly my eyes caught a plant. It was all green around, but it was the only one, which was dry.
" Why is it moistureless ? " I asked, but didn't expect an answer from anyone.
" It's waiting for it's Queen and princess. " Patrick replied. It made me doleful to see this only one in such condition.
A tear escaped from my one eye and fell on its dry roots. Within a second, it started to move. I winced and panicked. I took back steps. It's leaves turned their color from brown dry to living green. It grew all the colors of roses and flowers on it. I hadn't seen such adorable flowers together at one place. It was dancing with the rhythm of the breeze now.
I paced toward Guru, " You're spelling the Magic to make me smile, ain't it? " I asked him to clear my doubt.
" Let's get your wand. " he said and held my hand.
" Why are you behaving so weird, Guru? I didn't see the wand tree. " I asked him. Guru beckoned to Patrick. Patrick told something to a lady next to him, who was in a beautiful green dress. She returned with a tray in her hand. Patrick went toward Guru. They again started to speak in another language. I looked at Guru to translate it for me. But he was staring at my side with an open mouth. I looked behind me. But it was me whom he was staring at and still doing the same. Guru sauntered at me. He was carrying a round shape, made with dark green, light green, lemon green leaves with tiniest pink, blue and yellow flowers on it and a branch in a circle shape passing through it to merge it, it was of brown color. It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. It was a thousand times more beautiful than the crown that I used to create in my childhood. Guru was standing in front of me, with that beautiful crown in his hands. He put that crown on my head. It could reckon it as he had enthroned me recently. I peered toward my head. I felt something sparkling on my head, next seconds, it was all around my body. When it disappeared, I was in a most beautiful green dress. It was a full sleeve thin cloth and many layers of varieties green color at the bottom my waist, princess dress. Guru stirred his hand. There was a mirror in front of me. I saw my reflection in it. I was looking like a princess. That crown disappeared from my head. Its chest part. It was thick clothing there, it was net at my back and under my chest. I was feeling like a princess.
" Wand, princesa. " Patrick said bending a bit.
" Princesa? " I asked. He was holding a wooden stick, it's different, leaves pattern could be seen all over it. I looked at Guru. He nodded his head to take it. I hesitantly held it from his hands. It sparkled as the crown did. But it didn't disappear from my hand. It was feeling strangely powerful to have it in my hands, obviously not in bad ways.
" What's happening Guru? " I seriously asked him.
He sauntered the floor. He kissed my forehead, " I'll explain to you later. Let's go home. " he said.
" And this dress? " I asked him.
" Let me help you. " he caressed my cheek. I felt sparkling again and I was back to normal.
I touched my head, " Where's the crown? " I asked.
"It's in the right place now, where it belongs. " he replied. He touched my hand, and the wand vanished in front of my hand.
" Where did it go? "I was surprised.
" Move your hand outward. " Guru asked. I did and it appeared again in my hand, " Now inward. " He said, I did and it disappeared again.
" Wow, it's superb. " I was amazed.
Before leaving this place, I waved at them and they all went to their knees. " Please, don't do this. " I said.
"It's in our culture, Your Highness. " Patrick said.
I nodded and bowed my head. I left the place. I must say, this place is heaven.
I got in with Guru in his car. I thanked God, that I was alone with my hubby and no babysitter
