Episode 37
Written by Adelaide Clara Asamoah.
(Rishi's chamber).
'' What?! How am I supposed to trust you? ''.
'' Because I am your only hope in saving Prince Majid. Let me remind you now...that I already told you that,I was Queen Dorah's handmaiden ''.
'' You are not my only hope Savitri. I am going to Queen mother right now. And am going to tell her everything ''. Rishi said as she started walking out but Savitri quickly pushed her back.
'' Are you mad? What are you going to tell Queen mother huh? That Prince Faruk wants to kill his brother? ''.
'' But what do you expect me to do?! I am so confused right now...oh god! ''. Rishi started becoming weak and tears appeared in her eyes. '' No...I thought my life would be better and calm now. I thought the palace was perfect and peaceful. I never thought the rich had any problems ''.
'' Then keep that thought from your head girl. Even the rich has more problems than the poor. So never envy any rich man ''.
(Rishi took a deep breath and stood still, looking at Savitri tensely).
'' I don't trust you. What do you want? ''.
'' I told toy...I only want justice ''.
'' Justice on what?! How am I supposed to believe you are not planning....
'' I already told you....that I was once Queen Dorah's handmaiden. I have lived in this palace for the passed forty years okay? And I know all the truth,the secrets and the lues in this palace. So do not underestimate me. If what your friend really said,is what she really heard from Prince Faruk,then Prince Maid's life is in real danger ''.
(Rishi break down. She weakly fell on her bed,sobbing. Tears run down her cheeks and her world came crushing in on her. She wept bitterly as Kushi and Savitri stood there starring at her).
'' No no no. Nothing can happened to Majid. No! This can't be happening please no ''. She wept.
'' Hmmm..oh I see now. With your reaction right now,it only tells one thing. You are already in lobe with Prince Majid,aren't you? ''.
'' Savitri,you haven't told me the whole truth.. have you? If Queen Dorah was your mistress... then how come you are betraying her? ''.
'' Because she first betrayed me! ''. Savitri snapped angrily. '' And I regret everything I have ever done for her. Whatever I did...
'' But why would Prince Faruk want to kill his own brother?! ''.
'' Because he was the eldest son. And the king went ahead and made Prince Majid the crowned Prince instead of him ''.
'' And why did the king make Prince Majid the crowned Prince instead? ''. Kushi asked.
'' Because Queen Meerah was the Queen he loved most,more than....
'' Wait...what?! What has Queen Meerah got to do with this? Savitri, what are you hiding? Who was Queen Meerah? ''.
'' Urrrmmm.. I...I. You don't know what you heard. Don't get confused okay? I didn't mean....
'' How am I supposed to save Prince Majid if you are hiding part of the truth from me? ''.
'' Because by then,I would be incriminating my own self. And between a royal and a servant, the royal is always right. And I don't want to die without seeing Queen Dorah suffer or die with me. He is tour soon tone husband Rishi, let the power of a wife work...save him from the clutches of death now or....
'' What?! What do you want me to do? I am just twenty years old. How am I going to do this alone? ''.
(Savitri looked around the chamber with guilt written all over her face. She held her walking stick tightly and turned her back to both Rishi and Kushi).
'' If your friend really heard right,and Prince Faruk is really taking Prince Majid out this evening, then get ready to live without his presence forever. Because you will never see him again. A wife has the power,only a wife,has the power to save her husband's life. Save him Rishi, it's now or never ''. She said and left the chamber.
(Rishi got to her feet. Heart beating so fast. And tea rushing out her eyes. She held her necklace so tightly in her palms and it burnt her painfully and she moaned in pain and quickly made it fall from her hands. Kushi picked up the necklace and starred at Queen Meerah's painting closely. She slowly sat besides Rishi and caressed her).
'' Rishi...can I say something? Look,I am here for you okay? Nothing will happened to Prince Majid. I hope you know,that what money can do,prayer can do even better. All we need to do is to have faith in lord Hanuman. But tell me this,do you really love Prince Majid? ''.
(Rishi wiped her tea away,but the sadness was still showing on her face and she slowly nodded her head).
'' Yes Kushi. I love him Kushi. I know we are both stupid and we know nothing about life or love,our parents just too us fairytales. But you don't understand how I feel Kushi. It feels like,I have known him forever. He has never spoken to me before... but it's like,when I wore his shirt the other time...I felt connected to him ''.
'' That is madness Rishi ''.
'' It is love. Mother said it is love ''. Rishi got to her feel with a little strength and determination. '' I can't let anything happened to Prince Majid. It will totally kill Queen mother and Queen Sheena ''.
'' And you? ''.
'' Especially me ''.
'' Rishi, what if the maid was right? I mean,she has lived here all her life and she know things we don't know. Your necklace just burnt you. You remember that day you saved him from the falling statue? You told me the necklace burnt you. And now,it has burnt you today...that means,Prince Faruk is really plotting against Prince Majid. How are we even going to prevent this? Savitri already said it will be dangerous to tell Queen mother about it ''.
(Rishi went closer to the wardrobe and opened it. She removed her engagement saree and quickly started scrolling through the wardrobe. Her hand hit a hard surface and something rolled from the wardrobe. Falling to the ground, she quickly caught it fast. It was a pot. She starred closely at the pot wo a red band on it. She looked closely at the pot which was so small,yet so heavy. It was a beautiful designed pot,and she had loved pots all her life. But this was not time to fancy pots. She looked at the top of the wardrobe but it was so tall. She saw a big golden drawer near the bed and she gave the pot to Kushi to put in the drawer. Kushi was in a hurry and placed the pot under Rishi's pillow. She also removed her clothes. Rishi looked through all the beautiful sarees and too and down traditional dresses. She took traditional top and down which was royalty and richly made. And she put it on. She gave Kushi another of it which was filled in the wardrobe. And they both quickly stepped out of the chamber and closed the door).
(Prince Majid's chamber).
They bit dressed up after a second shower. Majid wore a simple blue top and down and a slippers. While almighty Cindy wanted to look hot and sexy. She wore her short white and tight skirt and a tight barebacked with sneakers and a cap on her head. They held each other tightly and walked out of the chamber. Sushim cleared his throat and paraded in front of his master.
...
....
'' My Prince? ''.
'' Yes? What is it? ''.
'' Should I go with you? ''.
'' No...I don't need a guard on this. And besides, it's just not me,my friends and Faruk will come soon...so no worries ''....
....
'' Prince Faruk is going as well? My Prince, please don't take this the wrong way,but don't you think it is getting late,ad going in the morning is much better? ''.
'' I don't know Sushim. Faruk suggested tonight and I can't turn him down. This is the first time I ever get to spend some brotherly time with him..and get to know more. Never mind, we won't take long ''.
'' Don't explain yourself to the servant my love. They are not worth it ''. Cindy said arrogantly.
'' Watch the way you talk to him Cindy ''. Majid said angrily.
'' Oh baby...don't get mad. One on,the truth hurts ''.
'' My Prince... you are not wearing tour necklace? ''.
'' Oh jeezzz... Sushim, this is just a night camping. Not some war. Please, can I take a break from all this royal ties? ''.
'' But my Prince...
'' Sushim! That is enough. Do I have to wear that thing for the rest of my life? I have to remove it sometimes. Stay here and guard the chamber. I will be back...
...
....
He said and walked away with Cindy while Sushim started feeling uneasy, he quickly left the door and headed to Queen mother's chamber. Prince Majid and Cindy kept chatting and laughing together while walking down the walkway. Rishi and Kushi also walked down the walkway and then came face to face with them. Kushi opened her eyes widely, looking down Prince Majid to his head and started blushing behind Rishi.
Cindy's evil eyes fell on Rishi and her heart became hot like a toasted bread. Majid's eye fell on Rishi and he couldn't look away. Rishi's shyness increased and as she looked at Prince Majid,she quickly looked away. The four of them stood the,starring at each other for about some minutes. Some hours ago,Majid saw Rishi, made up up,with her hair tied up,but now,her heavy long hair was down and the wind kept blowing passed them. Cindy held Majid's hand tightly and whimpered at Rishi with an evil smile. She rose her head to look at Majid and started pulling him away.
...
....
'' Let's go baby ''.
(They were walking passed Rishi and Kushi when Rishi quickly put her hands together).
'' My Prince! ''.
(Majid and Cindy suddenly stopped besides Rishi and Kushi. Majid was now besides Rishi. So close. Majid didn't turn his face to look at her,but he was astonished that she had the gust to call him. Cindy was shocked, wondering what the village girl wanted. Rishi was shivering and she didn't turn to look at Prince Majid either).
'' My Prince, please, I pray that...you go and wear your necklace ''.
(Majid now had confusion on his face and that was when he stepped two steps back and faced Rishi, face to face. His eyebrows were hollow and his heart was pumping. He stood in front of her,looking down at her face while her hands were put together close to her mouth with eyes closed. She then opened her eyes and realised Prince Majid was standing just as close to her like a pimple).
'' And why should Majid go back to get that old fashioned thing on him? ''. Cindy asked,annoyed.
'' It may be old fashioned, or call it however you want. But it has the power to save hundred thousand souls ''.
'' How dare toy talk to me? ''. Majid asked in a whisper and Rishi's heart skipped a beat.
'' Please my Prince... I can't live if anything happens to you ''....
....
(Cindy was thrown aback. Her anger reached thekimit and she felt uncomfortable standing there. But Majid was surprised Rishi said that).
'' What? ''.
'' If not for anything at all,please wear your necklace for protection. To wherever you are going ''.
(Majid rolled his eyes down nd realised Rishi was not wearing her own necklace. And he turned his brown eyes to her face again).
'' Why are we even standing here listening to this girl baby? Let's go now...the others must be waiting for us! ''....
....
'' Are you wearing your own necklace? ''. Majid asked Rishi in a tone which seemed calm.
(Rishi realised she was not wearing hers and she quickly took it from Kushi and wore it. But she couldn't look into Majid's eyes. When Majid saw this,he suddenly left Cindy's hand. Cindy was more than shocked now).
'' Fine...wait here Cindy ''. Majid turned and left,walking towards his chamber. Cindy looked at his behind with opened mouth. She turned and looked at Rishi and Kushi... with written battle. She was ready for it.
'' How dare you even talk to him. Who do you think you are?! ''....
....
(Kushi stepped forward with a daring attitude).
'' She is his soon to be wife. First wife for that matter. And you? Who are you? ''.
'' I am Majid's love. He loves me...
'' Is that so? I thought you were just a skinny bones missy. Cindy or whatever you call yourself....
'' You watch the way you talk to me else you will regret! Shut up and get out of my sight, you are not my class ''.
'' Oh idiot. We don't need to reach any class with you because we already completely school in the village okay? ''....
....
'' No wonder you act like an animal ''. Cindy said and chuckled.
(Rishi held Kushi's hand and moved her aside and faced Cindy).
'' We act like animals? Do you want us to show you how animatic we can me...foreigner? ''.
'' Yuck! Disgusting! ''....
....
'' You are much more disgusting for dressing like a whore around the palace ''.
'' What?! Did you just call me a whore? ''.
'' If you have a problem, go and fight with Queen mother, not me. But if you ever cross my path with such disrespect, I will tech you what you mother refused to teach you ''.
(Rishi said then she and Kushi bypassed her and left. Cindy groaned. She had never being so humiliated in her life. She looked around her,then behind her and saw Majid coming with the necklace on his neck. She kept her cool in order not to let Majid know she was angry. She made a fake smile and held his waist as they walked down the hallway).
...
....
(Queen mother's chamber).
'' I am sorry tour highness. I tried to stop him,but....
'' Listen carefully Sushim, I need you and two more trusted guards to follow them. Are they walking, taking a horse,a palanquin or his car? ''.
'' I am now yet to find out ''.
'' Oh goodness... and you are still standing here,if anything happens to Majid, I won't forgive you Sushim! Go now...go! Queen Dorah has no Ife that I already know Faruk is evil. So do this in secret. If you see something fishy,don't hesitate to kill anyone who tries to hurt Majid. Don't hesitate to kill the person. Even if that person is Faruk. Is that clear? ''.
'' Yes your highness ''.
'' Bring Majid back home,safe and sound. Go! ''.
...
....
(Princess Lakshmi's chamber).
Her handmaiden served her with dinner and she started dishing out. Charu looked weak and exhausted but she kept herself intact.
...
....
'' My father said he wants to talk to me tomorrow morning... I wonder what he wants to say. He didn't use to call mebur now,am afraid ''.
'' My Princess... gather the courage to tell your mother about your secret relationship with Jay ''.
'' I think you have finally gone cray Charu ''....
....
'' No I haven't. If Prince Majid was given to a commoner,why can't you be given to the guard? ''.
'' It's not the same thing. At least, that commoner is going to live in the palace. But me,if am married to Jay...I will leave the palace instead to live with him in his dump hat in the kingdom. And my father will never allow that. He said I am his little princess and doesn't want me to suffer ''.
'' Well.......
....
'' But hey,what do you think about Majid's bride? ''.
(Charu coughed and looked around her. She was about to vomit. Princess Lakshmi jumped to her feet in fright).
'' Hurry! Get into my bathroom and do it ''.
(Charu quickly entered Princess Lakshmi's bathroom. Then Queen Sheena entered. She smiles at Lakshmi who was looking very worried. Charu spent more than five minutes in the bathroom, vomiting and she opened the shower to wash it off. She took some of the sanitizer and cleansed the bathroom).
'' What is going on? ''....
....
'' It is Charu. She has not being looking good this days mother ''.
(Charu came out holding her stomach and she panicked as soon as she saw Queen Sheena. Queen Sheena starred at her closely went near her,then she took her hand and checked her temperature).
'' What happened? ''.
'' I don't know your highness. I think I will need a day off...please ''.
(Queen Sheena touched her chest and opened her eyes widely,then took a far in breath).
'' What have you done Charu? ''.
'' What's wrong mother? ''.
'' I can't believe this Charu! You are pregnant!....
