The Magical Ring

Jonas or Johan

"Really? Just a sister?" Colin released me and looked at Johan.

"If she agreed, more than sister is better," Johan said and smiled.

"YeeEih!" Colin exclaimed and giggled. "I think we need to celebrate this," Colin happily said and hold my hands. "Can you manage to move now?" she asked me.

"Yeah, yeah! I'm feeling better now." I nodded. "How long did I sleep?" I asked.

"Just one night, it's already 10 am and I'll go out first to prepare the best lunch now," Colin said and stood up. "Ooops, don't do anything wrong here," she said and laughed. "Haha!"

"Don't worry sis. Just go on," Johan replied.

"Bye!" I said and smiled to her. When Colin was gone, Johan started to stare on my face.

"Do I have any dirt on my face?" I asked.

"Oh, I'm sorry," Johan apologize. "I just missed this expression of your face. You are not avoiding me anymore," he said.

"I'm sorry if I've been avoiding you in school," I apologized.

"It's alright. I understood and you don't have to apologize," Johan immediately replied.

"You have a lot of fans in the school and they all hated me for being so close to you. Luckily, my patiencell is very long that I never fought against them. Besides, if I will fight, my scholarship will be in danger," I said.

"I'm sorry for that and don't worry, I will never allow anyone to bully you anymore," Johan said.

"Really? What if you are not around and they will come to bully me?" I asked but I don't know why, I just wanted to know what will be his answer.

"Then, I will always stay by your side if you want. Besides, you can stay here again with us. I will send you to school and accompany you until you can enter your classroom and I will pick you up too every lunch break and before going home," Johan seriously said.

"HAHAHA!" I laughed. "But you are not my body guard besides, even more girls will be angry with me if you do that. The school is quite far from here too," I said.

"Then, why don't you just accept me?" Johan asked and it changed my mood into serious. "If we are already an official lovers, no one will harm you anymore. Those girls will finally lose their hope to get along with me and stop their fantasies," he said.

"I'm not yet ready. I'm not yet sure of my feelings for you. Besides, I already told you to find another woman if you can't wait for me," I seriously said.

"I'm sorry," Johan apologized. "I'm not rushing you Glady, I'm willing to wait no matter how long it is," he said.

"Why don't you just find another girl?" I asked. "If you have another lady beside you, those girls won't bully me anymore," I said.

"I can't do that. I only want you Glady, only you," Johan replied. "Don't worry, I will pay your 4 years tuition fee in advance," Johan said. "Don't ever let them bully you anymore, okay?" he asked.

"No, I can't accept that," I replied. Ofcourse, I already have my memories. I don't want to be their burdens anymore.

"Then, I insist," Johan said. "I don't want you to get hurt because of me," he added and he hold my hands. "You are strong with or without the Magical Ring. You must not let others stepped upon you. You're a very special girl, not just to me but to everyone. You are destined to save the world from evil," He told me with a very serious eyes. "To protect others, you have to know how to protect yourself first. Promise me that you won't let anyone harm you. Promise me!" he said.

"Danger and troubles are always there. Don't worry, I know how to defend myself if I can't take the pain anymore," I replied. "We all have limits," I said and took my hands from him.

"I'm sorry," Johan said.

"It's alright," I replied. "Can you please leave me now?" I asked. "Let's just talk again later," I said.

"Ofcourse, I'll go now," Johan said and he immediately make his way out of my room.

I took a bath and wear a new clothes. My clothes are still here in the cabinet, clean and complete. My cellphone and other accessories are still here in this room too. Then, I've seen my old backpack together with the bags that Colin bought for me.

"My backpack," I murmured and immediately pick it up. I went to my bed and opened the backpack. My clothes are still there and the things I brought when I ran away from home are all placed exactly the same as I put it there. It means that Jonas found it but never touch anything inside. He took care of it and just wait for the moment to gave it back to me.

Jonas didn't agreed to keep a secret from me but he don't have any choice. He against Colin and Johan is not enough. I really admired him, he is not cold as others said, he is so caring for me. Although he is straightforward and often fight for what is right, I know that deep inside him, he is also considerate with other's feelings.

Jonas is tall and handsome, clever and talented, rich and kind. He is the kind of man that every woman dreamed to be their man. Even I like him, "What?" I murmured in shock. What am I thinking like this toward Jonas? Is it possible that I have feelings for him? No way, he is a cold guy. He don't have feelings for me unlike Johan. I can't love such a numb man.

I immediately put everything back in the backpack. Lastly, I've seen the Magical Ring's Box which my grandma gave to me. "I will get back the ring and use it for goodness," I murmured and put back the box in my backpack.

I arranged everything and went out to help Marga prepare our lunch. I've found Marga and other servants preparing the table, that's why I helped them as usual. They prepared a lot of foods and wines in the table, it's gonna be a happy party.

While setting up the table, I remember my father. Did he ever looked for me? Or he is very happy now that I was gone in his life?
