Chapter 17 Megan's FIRST ENCOUNTER WITH Matlida

 Two ladies made their way down to the shores of the river near the waterfalls, With the taller one with the curvy body leading. 
" Why am I fumbling like today something good will happen? " Ariana who was lead from behind stated
" What do you mean by that, Ariana? " she inquired
" What I am trying to say is I feel this weather you will find someone special. " Ariana stated
" Is that right and what makes you think of that? " Matilda inquired 
" Because my guts say so. " Ariana stated 
" Ariana, are you even hearing yourself? " Matilda inquired
" I wish the best for you, You know that? " Ariana inquired
" I know that and I don't refuse that but you know by the river not so many people make their way here you know that right?" Matilda inquired as she helped her remove her cloak.
" Yeah, I know that and I have no distrust of it but trust me on this," Ariana stated 
" Okay, Give me your hand and be careful it's a bit rocky today. " Matlida stated as she helped him to stroll inside the water until the water gained its level above her hips.
" You are making fun of it." Ariana inquired
" No, I am not making fun of it, I was just joking," Matlida stated as she splashed water on her face. 
" You stunt of a silly. How could you do that? " Ariana stated before she splashed water on Matilda's body. The two were playing with the water when Ariana ceased. 
" Did you hear that? " Ariana inquired
" Hear what? " Matilda inquired
" I heard a horse growl, " Ariana stated
" But I don't see a horse or anyone here. I will go swim in the deep and you can play with the water here I will be keeping an eye on you. " Matlida stated as she turned on to swim deeper near the falls, she was swimming as she threw back her sight on Ariana her sister when she saw a horse make the way to where she was as it ran. 
" Ariana come straight from where you are, You are in danger. " Matilda yelled as her heart dashed against her chest. 
" What do you mean, Matilda? " Ariana inquired 
" I am sorry I didn't believe you but could you at least trust me in this? " Matlida stated as she tried to swim toward where she was but it was unfortunate that he sister who didn't know how to swim was now drowning when she heard the growl of the animal behind her. 
" Help... Help" Ariana shouted out for help
" Ariana please stay with me... " Matlida stated as she tried to paddle fast from where she was. 
" I am trying... " Ariana stated. 
" I am nearly there. " Matlida stated before she could not hear his voice anymore. 
" Ariana, Ariana... " Matilda shouted and she could not hear any reply from her before she saw a man who made his way out from the water like a god with his complexion covered with his curly hair. 
" Is she alright? " Matlida who made her way out from the water after finding the shirtless man pumping her sister's chest inquired
" She will be okay, " The gentleman stated 
" She better be. " Matlida stated as tears started to drip off her cheeks before her attention was caught by the soft continuous coughs. 
" Thank God you are okay. I feared that I would lose you. " Matilda stated
" I am here now. " Ariana stated in a low soft voice
" What's your name? "Ariana inquired
" I am Megan, miss. " Megan started
" Ariana please and don't mind my sister she is sometimes nagging and don't call everything she says by heart. She usually does this to protect me. " Ariana stated as she stretched her hand. 
" I understand that Miss Ariana and it's a tremendous pleasure to have met you." Megan started as he shook her hand. 
" The pleasure was mine having saved my life and I am sorry I cannot see the handsome face but know that I will take it by heart and before I forget my sister is single and if you are not married then you can marry her. " Ariana started
" Don't mind her, She is overexcited with her new life. " Matlida stated as she tried to snob off with the eye contact between her and Megan. 
" Well, I don't mind you being my wife. " Megan stated as he didn't know how those words came from his mouth. 
" You are a real pervert and you better get going before I think of ripping off your ribs. " Matlida started in a profound voice. 
" Hey, Matlida you don't have to treat him that way, Don't you hear that he cares and you would regret it if he went away and you know that I am heavy to carry me. Why don't you give him a chance? "Ariana pleaded
" But...." Matilda's statement was cut short when Aurora rose up and took Megan's hand which left Matlida awestruck by the sudden confidence from her sister.
" what has gotten over her in the blink of an eye, she wouldn't listen to me and I am her elder sister and she even goes with a stranger. "Matilda murmured to herself as she still sat where she was left as she looked at the two who made their way through the rocks. 
" Hey are you going to still stare or are you gonna pop over here as you join your sister and you don't wanna keep her waiting? " Megan inquired agreeing to help Ariana get on the horse. 
" Matilda, Matilda where are you? I am catching a cold. " A soft voice is given attention to. 
" I am coming. Just give me a minute. " Matlida stated as rose from where she was seated and she took the two pieces of cloak before covering herself with one as she took the other and started strolling towards where the horse was. 
" Can I help you climb up? " Megan inquired with a low voice near her ear as his face curved with a devil's smile. 
" No, I am good. " Matlida stated as she tried to make her way up on the horse. 
" You need my help. " Megan stated after seeing Matlida struggle with her way up. 
" There is no need, I can do it. " Matlida stated in frustration 
" Matilda what's wrong with you, Stop being stubborn and just let him help you, He is a good man. " Ariana stated
" Ariana how can you be sure, One thing is he lets go of his horse from his possession, and he saves you then he offers us a ride home with the animal that almost killed you. Why are you not thinking of that for now? " Matilda inquired
" You don't have to be so cruel or aren't you happy that I am alive right now? " Ariana inquired
" Don't tell me that you are actually residing with a stranger who almost killed you with this horse rather than your blood sister. " Matlida cursed out
" Well he apologized and he is making it up by taking us home and leaving that in the past am I even complaining? It happened to me not you, So can you please let him help you up and don't destroy my first ride home? " Ariana stated
" Okay, I will allow this to pass but let me tell you that does not make us even you almost took my sister's life and I am not letting that go easily. " Matlida stated as she took his hand
" You better be even or I will tell Grandpa about it, Understood and no buts. " Ariana stated
" Okay, I am here up with you let go home, " Matlida stated before the horse started to stroll at a slow pace. 
" Well as you show me your home should we talk?"Megan who was leading while he strolled by his foot inquired
" We will tell you when we are almost there. " Matlida stated in a profound voice
" Don't mind her, So Megan what do you do for a living? " Ariana inquired
" Well I do many things and I have different specialties. " Megan stated before Ariana groaned in pain which caught his attention. 
" Are you okay are you hurt? " Megan inquired with a deep caring voice as he made the horse halt on its hoofs. 
 " yeah, I am good, It's just my sister likes to talk less most, especially when around new people but don't mind her, you will soon get along. " Ariana stated as she smiled
"Ooh okay, Thank you for letting me know earlier. " Megan stated before he started to stroll
" Mmmmm, Since my sister won't keep her mouth shut, Why don't you tell us more about yourself I would like to know what this pervert is up to," Matilda stated
" It will be my huge pleasure to tell you every inch of my story but it will happen on our first day. " Megan stated
" Hahaha, Did you say date young man what has gotten into you? " Matlida asked in a sarcastic voice
" You are the one who got into me, Your beauty that I cannot stop imaging of it. "Megan stated as he stroller while he looked at the lady on the horse and it was not long when he fell on a pit since he wasn't watching where he was going which made Matlida to break onto a laughter. 
"Matlida what is it? Why did we stop are we home? " Ariana inquires
" No, we are not almost there, Will tell you when we get there okay? "Matlida responded as she couldn't withhold her laughter. 
" And what happened that you are laughing out so loudly? " Ariana inquired
" You don't want to know, " Matilda replied as she leaned on Ariana's back tears were dripping down her cheeks and she couldn't withhold herself
" Megan, Megan are you okay?" Ariana yelled as she inquired in a low voice
" Yes I am good and there is nothing to worry about. " Megan who emerged out from the pit that was full of mud stated
