👑MARRIED TO THE PRINCE👑👻
Episode 48
Written by Adelaide Clara Asamoah.
(Queen Sheena's chamber).
She couldn't control her tears after the news she heard at the court. It was already dark in the evening and Rishi and Kushi and Queen mother couldn't even control. And what hurt her the most was that the king said he was going to get Lakshmi married soon to avoid any disgrace. But Queen Sheena wasn't ready to let her daughter go. She was just her little princess and her source of joy. She wiped her tears and said she was ready to sleep.
'' Should we go then? ''.
'' It is not like I am throwing you out mother,but I need to digest this in ''. Queen Sheena replied.
'' Mother...everything will alright okay? I don't think the king meant what he said ''. Rishi said.
'' The king means what he says everyday Rishi. It is already late an dinner will be served, you all should go and get something to eat ''.
'' Well,I an not eating until you eat ''. Rishi said.
(Queen mother got to her feet).
'' I will go and take my evening sleep. It has being a long way and more jewelry makers will arrive here from Mumbai tomorrow. It's just less than a week to Rishi and Majid's marriage ceremony ''.
(Rishi blushed and they all laughed).
'' So better be strong for that Sheena ''.
'' I will mother. I am sure I will be alright tomorrow ''.
(Queen mother left,leaving Queen Sheena and Rishi and Kushi).
'' Mother... will you be okay? ''.
'' Yes Rishi. Please go to bed. I promise that am not hungry. I think I will feel better after talking to Lakshmi myself tomorrow. Charu's pregnancy was confirmed, the foreigner was responsible. But Lakshmi's relationship with the guard is real. That hurt !e,I am her mother and she couldn't trust me enough to tell me this. I am the worse mother in the world ''.
'' Never! You have being a very wonderful wife and mother... Both to Lakshmi and Majid ''.
'' And how do you know that? ''.
'' Well.....
(Rishi tried pulling her word back and not to let Queen Sheena know tat she already knew the truth that she wasn't Majid's real mother but Kushi's big mouth was itching).
'' Well....Majid is the proof Queen Sheena! You have mothered him so well even though....
'' Kushi! ''.
'' What?! ''. Queen Sheena looked into Rishi's eyes and they weren't lying. Kushi looked away but Queen Sheena pulled her face to look at hers. '' You two..you...you....
(Rishi got up and scratched her hands, wondering around the room. Queen Sheena got up and pulled back Rishi).
'' Mother!....
'' Just answer me! How did you two...you already know? You know the truth don't you? ''.
'' Well....
'' When? ''.
'' It was complicated. But we didn't find out in the easy way. We had to put things together to find out. I saw Queen Meerah's painting the other day and,she was wearing the elephant necklace. And then the king told us a few story about Queen Meerah, because I wanted to know how she died. But he never told me she gave birth to Prince Majid,I just thought seep and arrived with the answer ''.
(Queen Sheena said nothing but just smiled widely. Surprising Rishi and Kushi).
'' Mother and I did not make a mistake for choosing you as the future Queen Rishi. You are indeed, her smart. You two girls ''.
'' Really?... You are not upset? ''. Rishi asked.
'' Why would I be upset at the truth Rishi? This secret was never a burden for me. Because I loved Majid as soon as he was born. I was Queen Meerah's handmaiden ''
'' What?! ''. Rishi and Kushi were surprised.
'' But the truth is a long story. The mystery behind Queen Meerah's death... is a long story. That is a story for another day...
'' I know that Prince Faruk hates Prince Majid,mother ''.
'' How did you find out? ''
'' The lion attack in Prince Majid that night,it was Prince Faruk's idea...Kushi heard Prince Faruk having a conversation with his guard...Shiv. About taking Prince Majid to a.....
'' All of it is...bitterly true,Rishi. But by God's grace and the necklace, Majid has always being safe. And now you too....because of you Rishi, I believe everything will be already. Just promise me one thing...swear to me! ''.
'' Yes....whatever you need mother ''.
'' No one. Especially Majid,must never find out that truth. He will be shattered. And I am sure no one would want that. He will hate us all. Please, can you do that? ''.
'' Of course mother. I can keep is to myself. And Kushi too,even though she has a big mouth. Don't worry ''.
'' Thank you. When a completely well tomorrow, and we have time,I can help you with information, which will help you better to protect Majid ''.
'' We shall leave now mother. Good night ''....
(Next Day=In the kingdom=Meho's house).
Strange men arrived in suits and a car and batched into he room. It was empty,only the bags and clothes around and a few foodstuffs. They were holding knives and guns. They searched around the compound and got to the entrance.
'' No one. I think the man left the house ''.
'' We saw his clothes there. He still lives here. We have being trying to tack him down for three days now...
'' Or maybe he is not in. I think we should come here in h night. When he comes home. Then we can finish the job....
'' Let's leave here before any one sees us ''.
(Radah's House).
Bhavna helped Radah wash their clothes and the dishes. They both walked together into her sowing shop. Bhavna tried placing a rope in the needle so she could help Radah start sowing some clothes but she suddenly had blurry visions.
'' Everything alright? ''.
'' Oh god Radah... Can you believe I am not able to place this....my head! ''. She groaned in agony. Radah left what she was doing and quickly attended to her.
'' You have being complaining of headache ever since you arrived u're. But tour blurry visions is something else Bhavna. This is getting out if hand. We shall go and see the doctor whether you like it or not now. I will close the store now ''.
'' No Radah ''.
'' I said we are going. I have had enough of tour refusal. We are going to check on you now! ''.
(But two guards from the palace arrived immediately in all smiles and bowed down to her).
'' Bhavna ''.
'' Yes. Oh god! I hope nothing has happened in the palace that....
'' Everything is alright. The thing is, Prince Majid...he got hurt ''.
(Bhavna and Radah are both suddenly steel and standing there speechless).
'' What happened? Is he okay? Is he....
'' He is alright. But he got wounded on his stomach. The wound is healing. But he wants Tue scar to also disappear. And that is why,we are here. Tour miracle herbs and hands can create that solution. We told him about you and he wants you to come with the medicine to make the scar disappear ''.
'' Oh,but of course. I will gladly do that. That yellow herb though... It ha not being raining lately so...it has not being growing. I will have to go to the temple to check if I will get some. Tell the Prince to wait until after the wedding between he and Rishi... I will solve everything ''.
'' Okay....we shall take our leave now ''. They bowed down and left and Bhavna put her hands together. '' Oh lord...protect my daughter and her husband to be. Radah... I want to see Rishi now ''.
'' We can't just walk into the palace as we wish Bhavna. But I will accompany you...only if we come back from the doctor... Let's go...
(In the Royal Palace=Prince Majid's chamber).
He wore a brand new shirt and a tight black jean trousers. The royal doctor changed his bandage wound which waa already healing fast and told him the news that,he was soon going to get the woman to make the herb to make the scar disappear after his wedding. He nodded and sat in bed,waiting for his breakfast. But he kept thinking about what Jimmy told him about Faruk being a monster. He called Sushim into the chamber and he bowed.
'' You look much better today my Prince ''.
'' Thanks. But that's not why I called you. Sushim, you have sworn to protect me with tour own life...isn't it? ''.
'' Exactly my Prince. Is there anything you may need? ''.
'' I want the truth. Sushim, you may have known me as your master. But you don't know anything else. One thing I hate most in my life is people keeping things from me. I hate secrets. I hate lies and deceit. Sushim, I need to know everything about Faruk...I am not a child to be kept things from. I feel stupid when people hide things from me and make me feel I can't protect myself! I am a fucking adult who can make lots of children ''.
(Sushim chuckled and held his mouth).
'' Sorry my Prince ''.
'' Well you should be... Because it's not funny. Tell me,what is the deal with Faruk? '' Why do you ask? ''.
'' I said what's the deal with him? I am most shocked because ever since I got hurt,he never came to see me. If it weren't for the court car yesterday, I wouldn't have met him. What kind of brother does that? Tell me....does he hate me? Do you think, he planned the attack on me? ''.
'' Yes my Prince ''.
(Prince Majid was hit with pain. Tears drew from his eyes. But they didn't fall. He sniffed and sat carefully on his bed. He was thinking deep,he didn't know what and why and how his brother hated him. He bit his lower lips and took a deep breath and looked back at Sushim).
'' Why Sushim? Does anyone know this? ''.
'' Queen mother,Queen Sheena...me...we know that you are not safe at all around Prince Faruk. He hates you because, he thinks he was supposed to be the crowned Prince and not you. My Prince... that is why your grandmother is doing all she can to catch Faruk in the act of trying to harm you. So she can use it as evidence against him. Then everything will finally be over. But he always does his things discreetly. He leaves no evidence behind ''.
'' He was supposed to be the crowned Prince? I myself have being thinking. I mean,he is the eldest son...so why did father choose me instead? Why Sushim? ''.
'' My...my Prince please just get tour mind out of that now okay? Tour wedding is just around the corner, you should....
'' Are you hiding anything else from me? ''.
(Just then,two maids entered and bowed down with a large tray of rich breakfast. Sushim took a deep breath and quickly left the chamber. The maids arranged the food on his bed).
'' Who made the food? ''.
'' Priya. She is Queen Sheena's handmaiden my Prince ''. One of them replied.
(Majid raised his hands and removed his shirt. Revealing his fresh muscular body. The maids started blinking more times than normal and started suffocating, they couldn't breath).
'' And who asked you two to serve me? ''.
'' It's our duty my Prince ''.
'' Take the food back ''.
(The two maids looked at each other in perplexed).
'' My Prince...? ''.
'' Go...tell Rishi to bring the it ''.
'' Yes your highness ''.
(They took the food and walked away).
(Rishi's chamber).
Kushi was still asleep and she didn't hear that Rishi had even take her bath and got dressed up. Rishi brought a cup of water from the bathroom and it on Kushi's face. The girl jumped out of bed with a scream and held her chest. She saw Rishi laughing at her profusely and groaned loudly at her.
'' That is what you get when you trick me to say...I love you Prince Majid ''.
'' Oh gosh. Don't worry! I already regret doing that. I was already dreaming of my unknown Prince charming you fool. I hope the lord punish you for this and make you see Prince Majid see you again ''.
'' That won't happened...
(They heard a knock and Rishi shouted for whoever to come in. The two maids entered and bowed down at her).
'' You brought our breakfast... so quick! Wow! ''. Kushi exclaimed.
'' No...it is not for you. Rishi... This is Prince Majid's breakfast. And he says we should give it to you to bring it ''.
(Rishi's face fell. Her mouth opened. Her hair standing on ends. Kushi on the other hand,fell into the bed in laughter).
'' He said me? Did you hear him right? ''.
'' Yes. He said...tell Rishi to bring the food ''.
(They said and left the covered foods and fruits on Rishi's bed and left).
'' Oh my goodness Kushi... what do I...
(She turned to the bed and Kushi had already covered her body with the bedsheets and mocking Rishi with her snore).
'' You are disturbing my princess sleep Rishi. Go go go...the lord is good time. Go,or do you wat your husband to starve to death? ''.
(Rishi said nothing but carried the large tray of foods,fruits and deserve and walked out of the chamber).
(Prince Majid's chamber).
Majid scrolled through his phone and then someone walked up to him in the room. He raised his head and it wa Rishi holding the tray of food. She was more beautiful than ever. This time, their eyes locked. Rishi looked at him and he also glanced at her. Both their minds casted back to the kiss. Rishi felt an amazing sensation through her body that she was about to drop the food. She had never felt that way. She realised that her tights were wet of sweat. She quickly set the food on thebed in front of Majid. He wore no shirt and he rolled his eyes from Rishi's top to her down.
'' You okay? ''.
'' Y...yes..yes....I....ii...was...
'' Why are you stammering? ''.
'' You...I mean....
'' I make you stammer? ''.
'' That's not what I meant. I...
'' Sit ''.
'' Huh? ''.
'' I said...sit down ''.
(Rishi quickly sat down across his feet on the bed. She kept scratching her palms and looking elsewhere).
'' Look at my face ''.
(Rishi turned her head and looked at him).
'' Do I make you feel uneasy? ''.
'' I...I.....
'' Or....
(Majid starred seductively at her. His brown eyes perfecting her body).
'' Or...do you want another kiss? ''.
(Rishi's heart skipped a beat).....
