Anushka and I got ready the next morning to begin our work.
We were told the king was waiting at the royal hall.
âAm damn nervous!â Anushka yelped running to grab her book.
âImagine painting a wh0le king! Just his presence sends shivers down my spineâ.
I scoffed.
âHave you forgotten when you made a royal sketch of my dad during his birthday?â I said reminding her of the hurting past.
âOh, yes! You dad was so happy and he showed it off to his guestsâ she beamed.
âOkay, letâs goâ I said.
I was wearing a white lace long sleeve and a lengh. While Anushka wore a sari.
Itâs soothes her so well.
We left the room walking down the hallway.
âSo, whatâs going on between you and Devi?â I asked
She flushed.
âNothing. Stop making stuff upâ she sais balantly.
I smiled.
We got to the hall and set down our stuff.
There were guards at all corner.
The king was on a call but ended it vastly.
âLetâs get startedâ he said.
i let Anushka do her work while I assisted a bit.
đPrincess Sanjanaâs povđ
I turned a bit waking up fully.
I smiled.
Javanâs bed feels so soft and comfy.
I sat up and saw him standing before his mirror backing me.
I canât believe he didnât touch me last night.
I tried all I could do entice him but he totally turned me down.
Not to worries Sanjana.
Heâs yours!
I got off the bed and tip toed to him so he wonât notice am awake.
I tried to touch himâŠ
âDonât ever come into my room uninvited againâ his cold voice made me come to a dead stop.
Whyâs he soâŠCold?
âGood morning loveâ i said and hugged him from behind.
He shifted from me and went to the bathroom.
I sighed.
Heâs angry!
đRanuâs povđ
The painting and sketching was over.
The king had left to go stay with queen Freya. I heard sheâs not able to speak yet.
Anushka left with Devi not long ago.
I canât believe Anushka have found someone that can possibly show her love and theyâll get married.
She keeps denying it but I know she feels something for him. Alongside with Devi.
I was just with some guards in the hall as I packed up the equipments.
I heard the door open and I quickly turned.
Javan!
My eyes wÂĄdened.
WhatâŠ
Whatâs he doing here?
I suddenly became clumsy and everything poured from my hands.
I stuttered over them.
I knew he was coming close.
I couldnât breath.
âLeave usâ I heard him say and the guards left the hall.
I didnât want to look at him.
My outfit was a mess!
âTurn aroundâ he said coldly breaking the silence.
I turned slowly and our eyes met.
Heâs always looking hot with his bright blue eyes.
His eyes wÂĄdened and he had that marveled look in his eyes
âYouâre the girl that woke mom. Do you know Iâve been looking for you?â He asked sounding quite pissed off.
âAm sorryâ I muttered.
âScrew that!
What are you?
A magician, shaman? A sorcerer!?â He asked in curiosity.
I shook my head.
âAm none of thoseâ I stated.
He looked at me for a while.
âWhy do you sound so familiar?â He asked and my heart began racing.
I kept mute.
âMeet my father later for he has some reward for youâ he said and left.
I buried my face in palms and sobbed.
I still love himâŠ
đDeviâs povđ
Amber (Anushka) and I walked through the market.
This was the first place we met.
She has been more composed and quiet.
I sense sheâs not comfortable around me.
I took her hand she flinched.
âWould you like to have some fruits?â I asked and she nodded a bit.
I smiled.
Sheâs hungry.
We went to a fruit vendor and I picked some fruits for her.
She stood behind me with her head staring at the floor.
âCan you please be yourself?â I asked almost going on my knees.
âI donât know what to say. If only youâd stop rubbing it in my face that youâre more wealthier than meâ she replied.
What!!?
âAm not rubbing it in your face Amber. Am just treating you out as a friendâ I stressed.
âOh really?â She asked smirking.
âYeahâŠâ I replied rubbing my hair sightly.
âCatch me if you can!!â She yelled and snatched the Apple I was holding from me before running off. I ran after her and she giggled.
We got to a garden.
She tripped and fell down.
I also lost my balance and fell beside her.
I rolled up getting on top of her.
My hands were behind her head supporting my body from resting on her.
Our eyes locked.
I leaned close to k-ss her.
âAm alot more hĂŠrd to get Devi. I donât k-ss people who try to put me in the dungeon two years ago!â She sneered and pushed me off.
I fell beside her and she sat up.
âToday was nice but please stay away from me. I rather be aloneâ she muttered looking sad. She got up and ran away.
I watched her go.
Whyâs she so hurt?
đRanuâs povđ
Itâs a week gone and we have just a week remaining to complete our work, get paid and leave.
I sent mom the four box of gold the king awarded me with. Just that fortune can help us start over bit by bit.
Tonightâs Deviâs birthday and he invited us. The party will take place at a club downtown.
Anushka is in a mood to party but am awfully not.
Iâve spent last week watching Javan and princess Sanjana show their love for each other.
And I actually thought he doesnât like her.
I sense he doesnât though.
Sheâs all over him trying to get his attention.
I wore a simple shimmy skirt and crop top which hugged my tummy tightly.
I have great flat tummy which Anushka admires a lotâŠ
We wore jewelries and left for the venue. The party venue was huge and lit.
There were night lights all over the ceiling.
Itâs more like a garden though.
The guests were young people just like us.
âI sense tonightâs gonna be damn hot!â Anushka said beside me.
I looked around.
There were ladies and some men dancing in a way I found dis-pleasing.
I saw Devi.
He was in the mist of so much girls.
They wanted to eat him alive.
I slowly glanced at Anushka who seemed bothered with the sight.
She rolled her eyes.
âLetâs go get some drinksâ she said and took my hand
We got to the counter and sat down.
âTwo shots of whiskeyâ she said and it was brought for us.
âAre you mad cause of Devi?â I asked.
She scoffed.
âLetâs admit. Heâs extremely handsome and gorgeousâ I said and she giggled.
âLetâs not talk about himâ she retorted.
âCâmon Anushka. I see it in your eyes. You feel something for Deviâ I insisted.
Whatâs wrong with her?
âWhatâs really wrong with you?â I asked pouting.
She sighed.
âWeâre best friends Ranu. Am not falling Inlove which means leaving you behindâ she said.
Whaaat??đšđš
đJavanâs povđ
âHoney whatâs wrong?â Sanjana asked rubbing my arm.
We were at the VIP section of the club. I could see what was going on down there.
I saw Kush (Ranu) and her friend.
She seems so familiar.
For a while now, Iâve been seeing her in my dreams. And that time I was alone at the hall with her, her hair smelt likeâŠ
Strawberry!
I canât fix the puzzle.
Who is she to me?
Who was she to me?
