Nahor stood there thinking about what had just happened. He could not believe what he had gotten himself into. But wherever there was any challenge he liked to face it. He was not scared of any difficulty. Infact he was ready to face anything.
He was curious to know who this human girl who dared to accept this marriage was. He could not wait for the the next day when he would finally meet her . He then put a smile on his face and said to himself,"You are so brave that you even dare have the thought of marrying me. We shall see. I am eager to meet you. I just want to see your face and see if you will still have that same courage to look me in the eye. Just wait.
After Jordan had left the room, he ran straight to Sami's room.
Sami was sitting on his bed reading a book.
Jordan opened the door without knocking and entered inside.
"What is the meaning of this Jordan, What is wrong with you? Hasn't anyone taught you manners. You should know that you are supposed to knock before you enter somebody's room."
"Oh Sami. Get over it. That's the past now. You need to focus on the future now,"Jordan said.
"Past, future what are you talking about Jordan. Have you gone crazy?
"Shh... Now listen to me. I have achieved what you could not even in a million years.
"What are you talking about? "I finally convinced Nahor to get married!"
Sami was a bit confused. Jordan had just come in to his room without a single knock on the door and was just blabbering when he had him say that he had managed to convince Nahor. He wondered whether Jordan was playing around. He knew Jordan very well. He knew that he was the kind of person who liked kidding around so it was difficult for him to tell if he was telling the truth or not. He only wanted to be sure if what Jordan had said was true. He could not believe that Jordan would have so easily convinced Nahor into marriage. Marriage. This was a really big thing. The way Sami looked at Nahor, he could tell that he was not planning on ever getting married. Then how. He asked himself. Did he really know Nahor or was something going on in the palace he did not know of. The old Nahor whom he had known had completely changed and he only knew the new Nahor. A cold and distant person. But then this new Nahor had accepted to get married. Why would he do that. Sami was sure that he was going to win the bet that he had made with Jordan earlier. But this time he had lost. Oh how the taste of defeat was so bitter. He was going to bear the shame for a few days more as Jordan rubbed more salt into his wound. Why did I even make this bet",Sami asked himself. He had not lost all hope yet. He just had to be sure.He had to confirm what he had heard just one more time.
"You are kidding Jordan, aren't you? "
"Do I look like am kidding Sami? I am telling the truth this time! Jordan said.
"Wait, how did you manage to convince him?"Sami asked.
"Now stop with the questions. That is not important now. The important thing is the marriage preparations.
" So if you would excuse me I would like take my leave now."
With that. Jordan left.
Jordan was so excited that he had managed to convince Nahor. He was proud that he had at least accomplished something that no one else had done. Now that that job was done he had to focus on the marriage preparations since the wedding was the next day.
He had so much to do since he was the one in charge of organizing the whole wedding.
"Wait, Jordan."Sami said as he tried to stop Jordan but it was already too late and effortless since he had already left. Oh! that boy. He is impossible.
One day he will get into trouble because of his reckless behavior. But one thing he was gladof was that Jordan had forgotten about the bet. Then he would at least be free from the shame and all the taunting.
Then he suddenly heard Jordan speak from a far,"Oh Sami. I almost forgot about our small bet. Get ready Sami. You know what you will have to do. Did you think I would so easily forget about it. You have to accept that I am always right. See you after the wedding. Prepare yourself,"Jordan said as he finally disappeared from sight.
"Oh! One day that boy will kill me with all his words. Just when I thought that I was finally out of this I landed in it once more. I wish they weren't any more people like Jordan or else I would go mad,"Sami said to himself.
" I hope what he said is true.I must go and confirm it for myself,"Sami said as left the room.
When he stepped out,he saw the servants very busy decorating the palace.
He wondered when they had all began doing this. How come he never heard anything. He asked himself.
He could do nothing but just look on as they beautifully decorated the palace.
"So it is true. He did manage to convince Nahor to get married. I did really underestimate him. Next time I will not make such a mistake once more. Nahor did finally accept. What could have Jordan bribed him with to make him accept. If I know Nahor then he would not have accepted unless Jordan offered him something. This time Jordan oversmarted the brilliant Nahor. This is just the beginning. I know more surprises lie ahead. Oh Nahor. This is just the beginning of a new life story for. Prepare yourself,"Sami said as he walked back to his room.
