♢ || chapter 32. hand-in-hand
Once I was led out from the hospital, Obi-Wan had given me some time to refreshen up before our talk. He had to get some time too to get his mind straight on a few things too, but I knew he was trying to play off a smart and cheesy way to do what he always does.
My comlink went off, taking me by surprise.
My hands reached to it and seen Obi-Wan sent a message.
"Jewel, meet me by the fountain over by the first place I saw you for the first time," he stated. "You remember what they look like."
Judging from how I looked, it did not appeal to me to have Obi-Wan see how my hair looked. I took my comb and flattened it out, brushing away the pressed parts on my heaad from when I slept.
After finishing, I caught a note near my counter to my robes.
I walked over to it to see it was from Master Windu. He wanted me to attend to the Council as soon as I had time.
How lovely. Two men needed me.
Once I left my room, I bumped into Anakin. He almost started off, but realized it was me.
"Jewel! You're all right!" he said as he hugged me, nearly crushing me.
"Thank you, but I must be going now," I told him before he unhanded me.
"You're in a hurry? Master Windu said that the Council needs you."
"I know. Do you know why he calls for me?"
He looked around before telling me. Must have been secrecy.
"Supposedly, only you are to be informed from this by Master Windu and Master Yoda."
"Then why was the whole Council mentioned?" I rebutted.
"Because after that talk, they wanted to see you and Obi-Wan."
My eyes widened to his response. Did everyone start finding out about Obi and I together now? My heart felt like it was beating too fast, especially with how our hearts are acting. We haven't concluded too what the matter was with that.
"If you can, tell Master Windu-"
My heart suddenly start to shift into an abrupt pain I had not felt. It almost felt like a saber was cutting through me. The burning sensation caught me to the ground, having Anakin panic and ask what was wrong.
I tried to talk, but Anakin managed to help me stand back up. I could feel myself get lightheaded again, and it didn't take long before it seeped in and brought me to an unconscious state.
⭒☆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━☆⭒
I awoke in the hospital room again. Master Windu and Anakin were present along with Master Yoda.
"Jewel? Are you okay?" Master Windu asked as he held my hand.
I sat up and breathed heavily to notice the heart montior on me again.
"What happened?" I questioned.
"We found you passed out when Anakin brought the news to us. Even General Kenobi too," Master Windu answered. "He was near the fountain by the training halls and not responsive too. It seems like there was some similar behaviors he had like yours."
My eyes looked around as I didn't see Obi-Wan.
Where was he?
"Is he nearby?" I asked the threee.
"He's in the other room, but we-" Anakin replied before Obi-Wan pragmatically shouted my name.
Out of nowhere, he opened the door to where all of us were. He practically threw himself in with me sensing his pain as worse as mine was.
"Master!" Anakin shouted before aiding him up. "I thought you were resting too."
Obi-Wan shrugged him off and seen me before hugging me, colliding the amount of effort he brought with him on getting here.
"Is there something I'm not getting at here?" Anakin asked Master Windu and Yoda as Obi continued hugging me.
"The question you must ask, to the two of them," Master Yoda told him.
"Obi..." I muttered in his ear.
He looked up to me before seeing the others still here. He must have not thought this through to burst in like that and immediately hug me.
"Oh... Well, I guess an audience is better than us here," he replied, laying his attention back to me.
"What is going on here exactly?" Master Windu interrupted, getting closer to us.
Obi looked at him and back at me before standing up and getting on one knee with his pain still with him.
He was doing it.
Right now?!
"Juliana Kell, would you do the honor to make me your wife?" Obi asked me.
The three threw their hands over their face and gasped in a fashion.
I practically didn't know how to handle this before passing out again.
⭒☆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━☆⭒
"Master Kell! MASTER!" Anakin shouted, arising me with my heart beating at a rapid speed with the monitor beeping at the same pace.
I stopped to look around and saw just Anakin.
"What... where's the others?" I asked him.
"Huh? It's just me here," Anakin told me. "What's going on with you?"
"I thought Master Yoda and Windu... And Obi-Wan were..."
Anakin stood there confused before the door opened and Obi-Wan appeared with the medical droid.
"I know of the symptoms, but there isn't any clue to what it is," the droid spoke as Obi-Wan seemed bothered by him. "I must keep running more tests to see what is operating here."
"Yes, you do that. I need no further help from here, thank you," Obi said as the medical droid left.
"Master, you're okay too," Anakin said with a smirk. "Jewel here was just questioning some weird stuff."
"Like?"
Did I have a dream? It felt real.
"Were Master Yoda and Master Windu with you when everyone was here?" I asked Obi.
He seemed confused by my sentence before shaking his head.
"It felt... real, like I thought you were really here along with the others. What is happening?" I questioned.
Obi-Wan came over to me and took my hand, ignoring Anakin standing plain in sight to witness it.
"Anakin, I know you aren't supposed to have feelings for Jedi. I can't understand what bond my master put on me and Jewel, but it's important for us to not be apart from each other," Obi-Wan told Anakin.
"We can't be apart from each other?" I repeated.
Obi-Wan nodded and continued with the medical droid stating if we were far from each other, our hearts start acting up in a burning pain. It was crucial to understand where the source is coming from, but nothing has appeared to be a clear insight.
"The heart," Obi said again. "That's why we get those pains when we are apart from each other."
"Wait, you two are together?!" Anakin interrupted the conversation with shock.
⭒☆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━☆⭒
Did I surprise you with that shocking moment of the proposal? I knew it was going to something else.
