“Oh My God.” I whispered jumping out of bed. I slapped myself hard to wake up from this dream but to my surprise it wasn’t a dream!
I am stuck in the Prince room naked, and King Maeko Is at the door.
Tears rolled down my eyes uncontrollably, I just wanted to be happy for some minutes, but now I know I can’t get that opportunity, not in this Palace.
I am screwed.
“Arjun.” I called in a whisper shivering seriously. His eyes were widened for more than five minutes. He was damn shocked as well.
“Arjun do something! He Is waiting.” I said packing my clothes and started wearing it.
“Okay. Calm down.” He said to himself and then he ran to the bathroom and then spoke from inside the bathroom.
“Father! I am in the bathroom!!” He yelled and I stared at the door not knowing what to do. I looked around for an escape route but I saw none.
I looked down the window and my eyes widened automatically. It was damn far to the ground. I couldn’t even think of jumping.
I would die , and I don’t want to die. I don’t even what to think about death. I still have the hope of leaving this palace and living an happy life with the person I love.
“We need to talk now. It’s about your sister.” He replied and my feet began to wobble.
“Father give me a minute. I would be at your throne soon.” Arjun replied still in the bathroom.
“I would prefer we talked in your chamber. So I am out here waiting for you to open up.” He stated and I almost cried aloud. What is so important that can’t be said at the throne.
He rushed out of the bathroom, and this time, I was dressed up already.
“You need to hide in the bathroom.” He said and I nodded.
“But, you aren’t wet, your hair is totally dry. How would the King believe you had your bath?” I asked running to the bathroom.
“That’s true. It skipped my mind.” He replied following behind me. He got rid of his trousers right in front of me and my eyes widened and mouth fell open as I saw how huge was.
I think I should be happy that we were interrupted, that thing would have torn me apart. He threw the trousers on the bed and then picked the towel that was on the bathroom glass wall.
He was totally naked in front of me. I swallowed hard trying to look away but I couldn’t. He was freaking hot.
He tied the towel around his waist and then placed his head under the shower so as to wet his hair.
All this while I stood right there in the bathroom staring at him. He did everything very fast.
He loosed the towel quickly and let the water flow down his body. His back turned against me and i could see his buttocks.
“How about now? Convincing?” He asked looking at me and I was lost staring at his body.
“I guess that means yes.” He said walking out of the bathroom and slamming the door against my face making me flinch a little.
“Okay that was stupid of me.” I mumbled sighing.
I heard the door opened and my heart stopped beating for a moment.
“I am done. Sorry for keeping you waiting.” I heard Arjun say to him and I heard his footsteps approaching where I was, this time I moved back to the wall breathing very hard.
ARJUN
“I was hearing another voice in this room.” He said and I scratched my hair laughing.
“Oh that was me. I was talking to myself. I am still shocked about what happened to Hana.” I said sadly.
He paced around the room, and when he got to the bathroom door he stopped, and at the same time my heart stopped too.
“I am here because I need to talk to you. I can’t say this at the throne because it’s kinda confidential.” He said walking away from the door and heading to my bed.
“Okay Father.” I said and he sat on the bed.
“Why do you think Hana would want to kill herself?” He asked and I swallowed hard not knowing what to say.
“Father to be honest,I don’t know.” I replied and he looked at me.
“You should. You are the closet to her. Though you think I don’t have time for you guys, I know very well she tells you virtually everything. So think son.” He said and I nodded staring into space.
“If you can’t come up with any reason she would do this, that means it’s Nikita’s son that did it.” He said also staring into space and I shook my head immediately.
“No. She did tell me something.” I said looking at him. That moment my brain was doing a lot of work trying to figure out what to say next.
“What did she tell you?” He asked and then a perfect lie dropped in my head.
“She said she is sad because you don’t have time for her. You and Mom,she said you two are busy with the country not even concerned about your own children.” I said and he heaved.
“I am doing this for you all. I need to make sure I am still on that throne until you guys take up the kingdom.” He said angrily and I nodded.
“I know father. I truly know, but she feels neglected, I also feel neglected.” I said and he walked away bowing his head.
“So she did this to draw my attention?” He asked and I nodded sadly.
“Yes Father. Because she wants you by her side.” I said and he nodded.
“My poor baby girl. I love her so much too, I know she must be so mad at me.” He said and I bowed my head.
“Father i can help you talk to her when she wakes up.” I said and he shook his head.
“No! I will be there when she does. I will talk to her.” He said and I smiled nodding. He walked to the door and then turned to look at me.
“Thank you for telling me this,I would order for Aaron’s release now. He is innocent, my daughter needs me.” He said and I smiled nodding.
I was so happy I solved two problems at the same time.
First, Akira wasn’t caught in my room, and two Aaron would be released.
He stepped out of the room and I was about shutting the door when I heard someone say to him…
“My King, Princess Maya is here to see you. She said it’s very urgent.” The guard said to him and he nodded walking away.
“What is Maya doing here again?” I thought furrowing my brows.
TBC……
