The Tightwad's Secret
Surprisingly, Jorah was looking at the sky too, while the Tighty Knighties were watching, just like what Shia said. He was thinking about what the Knight told him that day, a few weeks before.
While Jorah was daydreaming, his twin robot servants-Lotta Fun and Lotta Budget came and wondered what he was doing.
"Sir, dinner's ready," Lotta Budget called him. "Madam Bricklas is waiting for you to join in. "
"Yeah," Lotta Fun agreed. "It wouldn't be fun if you didn't join us for dinner. As you know, Madam is quite a short tempered person, and doesn't like waiting..."
"Tell Laurietta to wait for awhile, I'm very busy." Jorah ordered his servants.
"Geez, Sir, what were you thinking about anyway?" Lotta Budget asked the tightwad. "That conversation with Mr. LaBlade that day?"
Jorah was shocked. How'd Lotta Budget know about this?!? They were upstairs at the time.
"How...did you know, Bridget?" Jorah asked her.
"Lotta Fun and I heard the conversation from upstairs and came down to see what had happened. And, by the way, it's BUDGET, not BRIDGET. Bridget is your daughter's name, sir. "
"Oh, yeah, since I named you after hers. These names just looked soooooo similar!" Jorah changed the subject.
"C'mon, Sir, I know there's somethin' bugging you," Lotta Budget said. "Just tell us and it'll be fiiiiinnnneee..."
"Uhh... Okay..." Jorah sighed as he said. "You know why I've always been a jerk for all these years, Budget?"
"I dunno. Why?" Lotta Budget asked curiously.
"My father was a poor guy. He wished to be wealthy one day. Well, eventually, I fulfilled his wish. But, he was away at the time. And he didn't even know that I became rich. So did my mother. She told me that wealth doesn't come easy. So, in order to prove that I'm capable to be wealthy, I cheated. Yes, never in my life I've ever cheated. But, eventually, that's the only option I have since I don't have any other ideas. My father was a hawker. So, I, well... I don't wanna talk about what I did, tho. But all I could tell the two of you, is, the wealth I own now, is because of CHEATING. I know it's horrible, but I still became richer and richer. Even after I became rich, I still remained a thrifty person. Because I want to keep my wealth, and show it to my parents what I've accomplished. I've fulfilled their dreams, and I don't wanna lose it too quickly... I know I'm a jerk, but, what would I do now? It's all too late..."
Lotta Fun and Lotta Budget looked at each other, pitying the Tightwad for his backstory. Who knew that he was such a kind person, loved by EVERYONE, he even mentioned.
"Well, it's never too late, Jorah. "
Jorah turned around as he heard the voice. It was his wife-Laurietta.
"Laurie!" Jorah was shocked. "When did you... *sigh* You heard everything, didn't you? I know, I'm a horrible failure, and I couldn't do anything right..."
"Hmm, I've heard these words from Jestro before, but never from you, Jorah," Laurietta said. "Hey, you just have to apologise, that's all. And it has to be very sincere. "
"But how, Laurie?" Jorah asked his wife. "They wouldn't believe me..."
"I guarantee they will, dear," Laurietta comforted him. "They are very understanding, and I'm very sure that they will forgive you, and so does the people of this whole realm. The most important thing is, that you not only have to say what you mean, but you'll have to also mean what you say. "
"Thanks, darling," Jorah thanked her as he kissed her on the lips. "I know what I should do now. See you later! And the both of you too. Thanks for understanding! Bye!"
He then hugged the two servant robots as he rushed out of his mansion to look for the Tighty Knighties.
"He has changed quite a lot, Madam!" Lotta Fun said. "That's fun!"
"Yup, that really is quite fun, Lotta Fun, that really is..." Laurietta replied as she watched Jorah run towards the Knighties' house, ready to do what he's supposed to do. Then, she smiled and led her twin servants into the mansion.
