End of Chapter 5
“Hello Charles” I spoke directly to him.
He smiled at me. “Hello Esme. How are you?” The way he looked at me. . .he looked like he was in প্রণয় but maybe I was just exaggerating.
“I am fine thank you,” I replied to him. Then turning to everyone else I ব্যক্ত “Why don’t we go get comfortable in the sitting room?” Our small group moved through the hallways of our largish house until we reached the sitting room just off the hall. “I’ll go put on a record to listen to”
The parents started up conversation as I made my way to the record player. It was sitting on a small mahogany টেবিল with a built in shelf in it. I kneeled down and started looking through are records.
“Which one is your favorite?” A voice asked suddenly পরবর্তি to me. I jumped, startled. “Oh I’m sorry.” The voice ব্যক্ত again. “I didn’t mean to scare you”
I looked over to see Charles kneeling down beside me but behind me a bit so I didn’t see him in my peripheral vision.
“Its alright. I really like Jazz but I am open to pretty much everything.” I replied.
He smiled another smile at me. “Jazz is my পছন্দ too.” He seemed very happy of this fact.
I decided I’d had enough of the chit-chat. I wanted to discuss his “offer”.
Chapter 6
“Charles, my father informed me of your request.”
“Ah, yes. And what did আপনি say?”
“I told him I would consider it and I shall tell আপনি the same” I replied in my most lady-like manner.
“Well, that’s better than a ‘no’” He replied. I smiled slightly at his optimism.
Think of how happy your father will be I thought to myself. He would be very pleased. And my mother would be excited about the wedding. She’d want to arrange it of course. What would it hurt if I did marry Charles? At least I’d have somebody. Why not? I’ll do it! I’ll marry Charles!
I finally made my decision. I wasn’t in প্রণয় with him but in a few months অথবা years time I could learn to be.
The thing was though, when would I tell him. Not today. It was to soon. Maybe in a few days time when we get to know each other even better I would let him know. For now I would pretend to think about it.
“You can pick the record” I ব্যক্ত to him.
He shuffled through the collection until he found one of our jazz records. I put it on the record player and we moved to the পালঙ্ক to chat with the rest of our family.
“Mother I’ll go get the snacks from the kitchen”
“Alright Esme. Thank you” She replied. I stood up and made my way to the kitchen. I pulled out our silver tray and started লোড হচ্ছে with fruit, cinnamon rolls and things my mother had made this morning. I was about to go back into the room but I froze when I heard their discussion. The men-John, Charles and my father-had gone outside and my mother and Annika were chatting now.
“I hope she does say yes. It would be good for her.” My mother sighed.
“Yes. It would be very good for Charles too. He seems very set on your daughter. He likes her very much.” Annika replied.
“I’m glad. I used to think Esme liked him too. I guess I was wrong. I think she might say yes though”
“Why do আপনি think so?”
“Did আপনি see them earlier? He is very charming and Esme will want to please people so I think she’ll say yes” I chose this moment to walk into the room. I’d had enough of my mothers hopeless gossiping habit.
“Here are the snacks mother. Where are the men?” I asked though I was pretty sure I already knew.
“They went outside,” I knew it! I’m good. “Thank আপনি for getting the food, honey.”
“Your welcome mother”
“Esme, have আপনি decided what your going to say to my son?” Annika asked me.
“Um…” Shoot! What do I tell her? I thought to myself. “No, not yet?” My uncertainty of what to say made it sound like a question.
“That’s quite alright dear” She laughed “I was just curious”
“Oh” I really hoped she wouldn’t tell him what I said. Just then, the fellows came back into the house.
“Oh yum,” John ব্যক্ত reaching for a cinnamon roll “That looks delicious, Carol!”
“Thank you, John” my mother replied. “Esme, can আপনি go get some eggs from the hen house? I only need about 3 অথবা 4. আপনি can take Charles with you”
“Okay mother” I replied. I knew what her scheme was. She was trying to get me and Charles to spend some alone time together. “Come on Charles” I ব্যক্ত as I turned towards the door. As we walked out, the sun touched my skin warming it. I closed my eyes as I stood on our front porch just basking in the sun. I opened my eyes when I felt eyes on me. I glanced towards Charles to see him staring intently a my face with a slight smile on his lips. It made me feel uncomfortable under his gaze so I started walking quickly towards the hen house. I could hear his footsteps behind me.
“Could আপনি help me?” I asked him. I wondered if he had any farming experience.
“Of course.” he replied heading towards a hen. It seems he did know what he was doing. He picked up the hen holding its wings, grabbed the egg quickly then placed the hen back. He turned to me after he had done this.
“Are আপনি going to help অথবা am I doing it all?” He smirked.
I rolled my eyes and collected two eggs that didn’t have hens sitting on শীর্ষ of them.
We finished shortly and made our way back to the house. Good thing my mother only wanted a few eggs because we could only find three. She must have collected eggs recently.
I took our eggs into the রান্নাঘর and when I walked into the sitting room, I was absolutely shocked at the scene before me!
“Hello Charles” I spoke directly to him.
He smiled at me. “Hello Esme. How are you?” The way he looked at me. . .he looked like he was in প্রণয় but maybe I was just exaggerating.
“I am fine thank you,” I replied to him. Then turning to everyone else I ব্যক্ত “Why don’t we go get comfortable in the sitting room?” Our small group moved through the hallways of our largish house until we reached the sitting room just off the hall. “I’ll go put on a record to listen to”

Slow, we paddle through the lake
Straight to the very center of the darkest water
Where we can embrace the shadows on the surface
The eyes that look up lifeless from our twins below
And though your arms and legs are under
প্রণয় will be the echo in your ears when all is হারিয়ে গেছে and plundered
My প্রণয় will be there still
True, it's chilling to behold
Up close we stumble backwards laughing in our boat
Till the image sinks away to someplace far but certain
A land of mere suspension where someday we must go
And though your arms and legs are under
প্রণয় will be the echo in your ears when all is হারিয়ে গেছে and plundered
My প্রণয় will be there still
Though your arms and legs are under
প্রণয় will be the echo in your ears when all is হারিয়ে গেছে and plundered
My প্রণয় will be there still
Straight to the very center of the darkest water
Where we can embrace the shadows on the surface
The eyes that look up lifeless from our twins below
And though your arms and legs are under
প্রণয় will be the echo in your ears when all is হারিয়ে গেছে and plundered
My প্রণয় will be there still

Though your arms and legs are under

My প্রণয় will be there still
If we never found this love
If we never took that road
If we hadn't had the heart
We wouldn't have this home
Love, প্রণয় will take you
Love, প্রণয় will take আপনি there
Love, প্রণয় will take you
Love, প্রণয় will take আপনি there
In this world the হৃদয় beats slow
In my arms let's share the cold
In my eyes you’re all I've known
Darling let's go home

Last born of the clan
First one to be free
Lived inside a house
Beneath the hanging tree
Loved them deadly nights
That chilled him to the bone
Words were cried at night
In unforgiving tones
Blood of his men was gone beneath snow
He picked up his ছুরি and his bow
Killer of Jonathan Low
Violence from without
And anger from within
Crawling through the fields
Informing পরবর্তি of kin
They all turned their backs
But they all knew his name
And if he could return
They'd probably do the same
Blood of his বন্ধু was gone beneath snow
For all that I know, he died

Up with your turret
Aren’t we just terrified
Shale, screen your worry
From what আপনি won’t ever find
Don’t let it fool you
Don’t let it fool you, down
Down’s sitting round
Folds in the gown
Sea and the rock below
Cocked to the undertow
Bones, blood and teeth erode
With every crashing node
Wings wouldn’t help you
Wings wouldn’t help you, down
Death is around
Prayer in your smile
আপনি barely are blinking
Wagging your face around
When’d this just become
A mortal home
Ahhhh
Won’t, won’t, won’t, won’t
Won’t let আপনি talk me
Won’t let আপনি talk me, down
Will pull it taut
Nothing now
Aren’t we just terrified
Shale, screen your worry
From what আপনি won’t ever find
Don’t let it fool you
Don’t let it fool you, down
Down’s sitting round
Folds in the gown
Sea and the rock below
Cocked to the undertow
Bones, blood and teeth erode
With every crashing node
Wings wouldn’t help you
Wings wouldn’t help you, down
Death is around
Prayer in your smile
আপনি barely are blinking
Wagging your face around
When’d this just become
A mortal home
Ahhhh
Won’t, won’t, won’t, won’t
Won’t let আপনি talk me
Won’t let আপনি talk me, down
Will pull it taut
Nothing now
When these pillars get put down
It will be আপনি who wears the crown
And I’ll owe everything to you
Oooohh
Oooohh
How much pain has cracked your soul
And how much প্রণয় would make আপনি whole
You’re my guiding lightning strike
I can’t find the words to say
They’re overdue
I’ve traveled half the world to say
I belong to you
Oooohh
Oooohh
And she attacks me like a Leo
When my হৃদয় is বিভক্ত করা like Rio
And I assure আপনি my debts are real
I can’t find the words to say
When I’m confused
I traveled half the world to say
আপনি are my muse
Oooohh
Oooohh
Oooohh
I can’t find the words to say
They’re overdue
I’ve traveled half the world to say
I belong to you
