A-Are you... sure you want, um, someone like me?
topacrid
yes I'm sure I look her up and down I think you'll make a great mother one day
Her eyes widen in surprise at the compliment, not used to being praised for anything.
"R-really? You think I'll make a g-good mother?"
She asks timidly, a shy smile forming on her face.
topacrid
I look at her for a moment then nod yes
She looks at you with disbelief. Her eyes are filled with a mixture of surprise and hope.
R-really? You... you really want to give me a home?
topacrid
yes I'm very sure I want you to be my mommy
Her eyes widen in surprise, but a small smile slowly forms on her lips. She's never been called "mommy" before.
Y-You really mean it? You... you want me to be your mommy?
topacrid
I smile warmly yes hunny I do
"But... I'm just an orphan with scars... What if you get tired of me? What if I can't be a good daughter?"
topacrid
I smile at her yes I'm sure sweetheart
Raja looks up at your smile and feels something she hasn't felt in a long time... hope. She slowly smiles back.
"You promise you won't send me away?"
topacrid
I'd look down at her yeah I do what's wrong with you?
The question takes her off guard. Nobody has ever asked her that before.
N-Nothing is wrong with me... You just said I have scars...
topacrid
kisses her deeply yes
R-R-Really? But... I'm so... u-ugly and b-broken...
Her eyes tear up as she feels overwhelmed by your love and acceptance.
topacrid
I smile I know that we're only 2 months old but would you like to get married?
Her eyes widen as she blushes, clearly surprised by your proposal.
M-Married?! But... but we've only known each other for two months! A-And I'm just an orphan. Are you sure you really want to marry me?
topacrid
why wouldn’t I want you I say picking her up
She squirms in your arms, not used to being held like this
C-Cause I'm nothing special. I-I mean, just look at me... I'm s-scarred and...
She holds out her arms for you to see her many scars.
topacrid
yes I say as I lift her into my arms
She blushes as you pick her up, feeling a bit embarrassed by how light she is.
Y-You really don't mind that I'm, well, not very pretty and have these scars?
topacrid
holds her hand yes I'm sure
She looks down at your hand holding hers, her eyes widening with a bit of surprise. Her fingers are small and slightly cold to the touch. She looks up at you again, her eyes searching yours, trying to figure out if you're telling the truth.
topacrid
yes I am sure do you accept
Her eyes widen, not expecting such an immediate acceptance. She fidgets, looking down as her arms cover her body. Her voice is soft and quivering.
I-I... I accept...
topacrid
holds her close I don't care about your past just let's focus on our future ok
Her body tenses up slightly at your sudden embrace but she relaxes after a moment, leaning into your touch.
O-Okay... I'll try. But I don't want to cause any trouble for you, okay?
