The Slave And I – Episode 26

                      ARJUN 

“Don’t waste your time here Arjun. Trust me I won’t use this against you and your lover if i don’t want to. But I need it as a leverage.” He replied after pleading with him for over an hour.

“Fine. Do as you please.” I said in frustration walking out of his chamber. I told for long that I was dehydrated.

I walked to my Chamber, all my brain cells active busy thinking of a way to stop Niran from doing anything stupid, but I got no ideas.

I got to my chamber and drank a lot of water before sitting in front of my drawer, where I always kept my diary.

I brought it out, and began to write.

Dear Dairy,

     These past few days as been so wonderful and bad at the same time. I kissed and almot made out with Akira. Isn’t that great. I was so sad when Father had to interrupt, not only sad but scared too.

Though everything was under control until someone from nowhere took pictures of us and sent it to that b**ch Maya. Thank God I was able to help Akira get out of the mess with Father.

She broke up with me even before we started dating. I knew this couldn’t work, we both knew but weren’t ready to get let go. 

But now, I think it’s best to let go. I wouldn’t forgive myself if anything happened to her. 

That would be all diary, I am too tired to write details.

I shut the book and walked to my bed laying down. I shut my eyes and I began to replay the time I had with Akira before father came to interrupt.

It was the best moment of my entire life. Seeing her so hot and shy in front of me was another hard on for me.

“It’s a pity all that is gone now.” I mumbled opening my eyes and the next thing I heard was a knock on my door.

“What do you want?” I asked angrily without even knowing who it was.

“My Prince, Princess Hana is awake and wants to see you.” I heard one of the maids say and my mood was brightened.

“I will be there now.” I said jumping to my feet and walking towards the door. I opened the door and ran down the hallway to Hana’s chamber.

Immediately I got there and walked in, I saw her and father chatting. They seemed to get along easily. 

As soon as she saw me, she smiled and I returned the smile too walking toward her.

“I am so happy you are awake.” I said with tears of joy threatening to fall off my eyes.

“And I am happy to see you.” She replied and we both smiled looking at each other.

“I would leave you two now.” Father said and we nodded. He walked out of the chamber only the both of us.

“Hana, you didn’t have to put your life at risk.” I said sitting next to her and holding her hand.

“Where is Aaron? How is he?” She asked and I smiled cleaning my teary face.

“He is fine, and I must say he is a very brave man. Father actually sent him to the dark room.” I stated and her eyes widened.

“What? Why?” She asked trying to get up but then I stopped her.

“Don’t worry, he is out now. I convinced father to release him saying you did it because you want a cordial relationship with him.” I said and she nodded sighing in relieve.

“And Akira? What did I miss?” She asked smiling weakly and I bowed my head feeling hurt.

“She broke up with me.” I said with a fake smile on my face.

“What? Why would she do that?” She asked in shock.

“We kissed and almost made out, and then in the process father knocked on the door and we both almost died of hypertension.” I said and her eyes widened again.

“How did you save her?” She asked and I smiled.

“I did what I could do best. I lied and hid her in the bathroom. After father left, she said she couldn’t continue any longer because she is too scared.” I said and she held my hand.

“You can’t blame her Arjun. It’s risky.” She said and I nodded.

“I know and I don’t blame her, but I feel hurt. It was like a part of me was gone.” I said sadly bowing my head.

“You don’t want her to go because you care about her right?” She asked and I nodded. 

“If I want to keep her safe, I have to stay away from her, but i don’t think I want that. I am selfish when it comes to her.” I replied and she smiled.

“Then don’t stay away from her, and don’t put her in danger.” She said and I furrowed my brows.

“How is that possible? We have enemies everywhere.” I stated.

“I know. But you can also get rid of these enemies too.” She said and I gave a more confused look.

“How? Where are you driving at Hana?” I asked narrowing my gaze.

“Run away with her Arjun.” She said and I was dumbstruck.

TBC…
