Seeking Tala's Permission

Chapter 47

Maui's POV

 A few days later...

    Moana went into the village to get some more fruit so it's just me and Tala that are around right now. I don't like being alone with my thoughts, especially when I'm contemplating something important so I decide to head next door to Tala's. I want to ask something that's been on my mind for awhile now. I stand outside her door shaking a bit before I get the courage to knock. When I do, she opens the door instantly. She greets me with open arms and hugs me. I hug her back and smile down at her. "Hi Tala.  I'm sorry to bother you, but I was wondering if I could talk to you for a minute." She playfully swats me. "You're never a bother Maui. Please come in. I'm making sandwiches for myself. Do you want one?" My stomach grumbles so she takes that as a yes. A minute later, she hands me a ham and cheese sandwich. I take it gratefully and sit down across from her. 

    "Tala, you're aware of the thing that I planned to do back in Montonui in front of your son and his wife right?" She nods. "How could I possibly forget a lovely plan like that? What about it though?" My hands begin to shake. Tala senses I'm nervous and she grabs a hold of my hands. "Maui, just take a deep breath." I do what she says and take a deep breath. "I love Moana more than life itself. She's everything to me and I just know in my heart that I want to spend forever with her by my side. When I wake up, I want her to be the first person I see and when I fall asleep, I want her to be the last person I see." Tala grins. "Are you asking me for my permission to propose marriage to Moana?" I blush and nod profusely. "Well then permission granted, though under one condition." A lump rises in my throat. "What's the condition?" "Make it the best damn proposal in the history of proposals. I want you to sweep Moana off her feet and take her breath away. Also, I would like to videotape it if that's okay." I grin back. "Trust me Tala, when you see what I have planned, it'll even take your breath away."

    She laughs. "I believe you. Though I have one question. When do you plan on doing it?" That's a good question. I take a moment to ponder before answering. "A week from today." She gets up, comes around to my side of the table, and puts a hand on my shoulder. "Sounds like a plan Maui. Is there anything you'd like me to get and hide away in my place until next week? You and I both know that there's a chance Moana will stumble upon them if they're in your place." I nod to myself knowing that she makes a good point. "There are two things I'll need you to hide for me. One being candles and the other being the ring. I'm going to go to the village jeweler first thing tomorrow morning to get the ring. If Moana wakes up before I get back, can you cover for me?" "Absolutely Maui." She claps her hands together. "I'm so excited. I wish next week could come faster." I smile fondly. "Me too."
