Roshia had woken up early due to being nervous. She was going to tell Nasir while they walked to the festival. It was a good time because they were going to be alone for some time. She got ready was walking out when saw Nasir standing by her door "Morning Nasir, how did you sleep?" She asked, running her fingers over the necklace he gave her. She always wore it, she still loved him, she just couldn't love him the way she wanted to.
Nasir held out his arm for her and she held it, "I am doing well and yourself? I heard the news that you will be getting married. Congratulations. Rowan is one lucky guy."[/b] He spoke so openly. She loved it. Roshia knew that Nasir and Elwin were hanging out more and she enjoyed knowing so.
"Thank you. I have seen you talking a lot with Ofelia, are you two courting yet?" She asked, looking up at him.
"Not yet, I am waiting on a good time to ask her." He said, looking up at the sky.
They had just gotten out of the village and nearing the lake when she stopped him, "Look Nasir, we have to talk." He looked at her, worried. She took a deep breath, "I am pregnant and I wish I could leave it at that, but...I also slept with Rowan after having a few too many drinks just a few days after you and I don't know who the father is. Rowan suggested we get married. He is willing to take on me and a kid that might not be his, but... I want you in this kid's life. If it looks like you... I want them to know that you are their father. I am so sorry, Nasir. No one can know that we did anything, you know father. I don't want him to disown our kid if it is ours." Nasir listened to her with disturbing her.
"This is hard, Roshia." He walked away from her a little. He didn't know what to do, but he understood what needed to be done. She was starting to tear up. He walked back up to her and lifted her chin, "I understand fully what needs to be done. I will do it, but let them know when they are old enough, that is all I ask."
She smiled, hugging him tightly. "Thank you. You deserve the best of the best." He shook his head, smiling and held out his arm for her to hold. She did so and walked with him the rest of the way.
They got to their father's booth where he was setting up. "My girl, congratulations on the marriage and to Rowan Todd!
People looked at them, some annoyed with the news, "Shh, dad not so loud, but thanks." He was all smiles at the news. She hadn't seen him this happy since Agis' birth.
