"Sheea, let's go now. Let me show you my cave. It's fabulous and you will surely like it," someone said that Sheea didn't realize (not want to realize).
"Le, control yourself. Why are you pressuring your opinions on her? So, Sheea, will you like to see my fabulous, gorgeous and spacious cave? It is so-"
"Shut up. You're telling I'm pressuring her, then what about-"
"Sheea, let's ignore them. Will you like some delicious food? I've many in my cave."
"Hah! Are you kidnapping her by showing her food? What a joke! I've more food than you. I can-"
"Ughhhh! SHUT UP! SHUT UP ALL OF YOU."
"Ah, Sheea, relax, calm dow-"
"I said SHUT UP!"
Sheea said through her gritted teeth as she glared at the irritating intruders and made them shut up. Some even took a few steps back in fear as Sheea was looking dangerousl while taking deep breaths.
Finally, there was a pin drop of silence in the shop. And finally Sheea's ears felt a little peaceful.
'OH my Holy mother, what in the world is this? This group of fools was jumping from one topic of quarrel from the other, faster than she blinks her eyes. F*therf*ckers! Daughters of rotten dirt from shit! What are they thinking of me, huh? A child who is just born and don't know what's inside their hearts, huh? Ridiculous!' Sheea screamed in her brain as she rubbed her face with her palm violently to control herself from spitting those cusses at the certain Shashas.
After a few more deep breaths, Sheea opened her eyes and slightly glanced at all of the Shashas and said word by word, "Listen, You all are beautiful but I'm a gi... ahem... a Shasha. I think you all can understand I need Shans as my partners, not Shashas. Moreover, I've got enough mates and I'm not planning to take more."
"But Sheea, you-" A Shasha tried to say something, but just a glance from Sheea's narrowed eyes, stopped her.
"Okay." One of the Shashas agreed suddenly as she looked eye to eye with Sheea, taking everyone in the shop by surprise except one... and that was Sheea. Instead a playful smile appeared on her lips as she placed her chin on her fist.
She lightly glanced at the Shasha who agreed to leave her alone and was now surrounded by many whisper inquiries from her companions.
"You... are the niece of.. that lion leader, right?" Sheea asked slowly as she remembered a hazy conversation from before.
The Shasha's eyes lit up as she slowly said, "Le. Please call me Le, Sheea. And yes, I'm the lion leader, Hemza's niece."
The pride was evident from her introduction. But Sheea's attention was elsewhere.
"So, what's the condition?" to leave me alone. Sheea didn't finish her sentence, but all understood her words.
As soon as she threw the question, Le walked near Sheea and stood so near her that she was almost hugging her. Sheea stood where she was.
On the other side, Jemin let out a dangerous growl, full of threat, scaring most of the Shashas in there.
"Be with me," Le whispered out loud near Sheea, but Sheea rejected her firmly, "Not interested."
"Ah! Let me finish first, na, Sheea," Le clicked her tongue as she placed her hands on the desk behind Sheea, "Be with me to protect me. I want you to protect me from all the dangers."
"Shasha or not, I really want to fight it out with these psychos!"
"Control yourself, Jemin. The show is still going on. Let me watch it. And yeah, bring me my chicken stick from the counter. Such a drama! Wah! What a drama! So spicy!"
"Shut up at once, you, old beast, if you still want new things in your shop to sell."
"Oh! Young beasts nowadays! They are really-" The old Shan abruptly stopped as he got a 'try me if you dare me' look.
On the other hand:
"Pfft!"
"What? You?"
Le looked at the laughing Shasha near her in shock and surprise (and in awe as Sheea's laughing style was so controlled and graceful).
Seeing Sheea laugh suddenly, Jemin suddenly had an ominous thought, 'Did My mate finally lose her mental balance?'
"Why... why are you laughing like that?" Le asked as she shifted a little away from Sheea.
"Oh! I'm sorry. It's just I found it a little funny."
"FUNNY!" Almost everyone shouted in inquiry.
"Yeah, A little funny. Can you tell me why should I agree to your question?" Sheea asked in amusement.
"Why can't you?" Le asked as she looked at herself and then at other Shashas, "I held the most power and by being my protector, you'll get power too."
"And then, what about them?" Sheea asked as she signaled to the other Shashas, "If I agree to be your protector, then they will also come and ask me to be their protector too, right? And then all of you will start "Be with me", "Mine", "I'm this", "I'm that" and so on. And looking at their expression, I don't think I'm wrong."
