Years passed and Ferdinand was finally good at writing and reading human language. However, he decided to continue living with Ara to observe the human way of life.
Thus, Arabella had to continue watching the two flirt with each other. Ferdinand looked innocent and clueless though even as he flirted with Ara.
Meanwhile, Ara interpreted Ferdinand's decision as his way of saying that he also did not want to part with her just as she does.
Arabella noticed that the river nymph's feelings grew deeper and deeper as the years passed. It rather irked her too when the nymph began acting like she was Ferdinand's wife because they were living together.
