You are nothing but a ghost!
Postinur was very worried about Alysia, she complained of cramps and menstrual syndrome and has been in her room for hours now. Is she okay? Can she deal with it alone? He thought of helping her, maybe with massaging her stomach, rubbing her feet or anything at all. Alysia is a strong girl, yes, and this isn't her first time menstruating, but still he was worried she would fall sick. Postinur doesn't know about menstruation but he Knows that a lady bleeds for about 4-5 days every month, and he can't imagine how that could be, it's like being stabbed for 4-5 days and bleeding non stop.
Postinur decided to see Alysia and as he poofed to her room, he couldn't find her. He checked Alysia's cousin's room but couldn't find her there. Something is wrong! Where could she be?
Postinur kept pacing about, thinking of what to do, King Klein will definitely punish him and he doesn't want that. He especially doesn't want his Alysia to get lost, no, not Alysia that he swore to take care of as long as he's still on Earth! What should he do??
As Postinur was thinking, Alysia quietly opened the door and entered her room. She backed the door and upon turning back saw Postinur's worriedly looking at her
Alysia: Um, Hey Postinur! (Fakes smile)
Postinur: where were you!
Alysia: I just went out to get some fresh air.
Postinur: you're lying. I checked everywhere for you, every possible place I could search for and where you supposed to be (Alysia becomes quiet and stares at the floor) Do you know what trouble I would have gotten into? Think about your parents if they find out how worried they would be!
Aly, I asked you a question, answer me already!! Where did you go!!
Alysia: (Alysia in verge of tears as postinur shouted at her, first time in her life) I'm sorrr..y (stammers) I ju..sst wanted to…
Postinur: Wanted to do what!
Alysia: Lydia wanted to see her prince charming. She asked for me to follow her and...I...we..nnt
Postinur: What?!? To where??
Alysia: Lystra
Postinur: Lystra? There are many evil people there, witches, wizards, all there! And you went there?
Alysia: I'm sorry. I didn't know, I just wanted to see outside Oberon. That's all
Postinur: so you lied about seeing your period!
Alysia: Yes, I lied. I'm sorry postinur
Postinur: it's okay. At Least you're safe. That's all that matters. (Reveals himself) come closer (Alysia comes closer and he gives her a hug and pets her hair)
Next time, please inform me about that. I don't want you risking your life like that. And Lydia, how can she allow you to follow her?
Alysia: she just wants me to see life outside. It's not her fault.
Postinur: Alright (leaves her)
Now tell me. How was Lystra? Beautiful right? Their carnival should be wonderful.
Alysia: Yes it was. The dances, acrobats, performance, everything! I even got to eat a cotton candy that Dad never allows me to (smiles with all her teeth revealing)
Postinur: (touches her nose) Naughty girl. I will punish you tomorrow for that
Alysia: Hehehe. There was something so special about it. Something that made my sneaking out worthy(looks dreamily)
Postinur: Hmm and what was that?
Alysia: I fell in love! For the first time ever! Oh it's such a great feeling
Postinur: Hmmm(mood changed)
Alysia: Yes, He's so handsome. So charming, so everything! Now I know why Lydia was crushing on him. And you never told me that he was breathlessly adorable!
Postinur: Who's that
Alysia: Duren. Your brother. I love him
Postinur: What?! (Flares up) my brother?
Alysia: (doesn't notice his flaring up) Yes. He is so magnificent. And we talked about our childhood. He had an amazing childhood though. He said… oh my, I felt like melting! (Smiles dreamily)
Postinur: said what!
Alysia: He said he loves me. My heart lifted up. Oh I'm so joyful, postinur!
Postinur: He said that?! Is he blind? Can't he see that you are too young for that?
Alysia: I'm not too young. My coming of age is next year and I would get suitors from there, who would want to get me engaged till I turn 16.
Postinur: You are not falling in love with anyone and that's it!
Alysia: Why? Why can't I? You can't control my life, you know
Postinur: you aren't loving anyone as far as I'm concerned! (Shouts at her)
Alysia: There's nothing you can do about it! It doesn't even concern you! (Bickering)
Postinur: it does!
Alysia: How does it affect you? Hmm tell me! (Postinur keeps quiet) tell me!
Postinur: Because I love you!!! I have loved you since the day you were born (everywhere became silent)
Alysia: You can't love me. You are a ghost, I'm a human, nothing can happen between us. You are a freaking spirit for goodness sake! And I never loved you, I only liked you as my best friend and nothing more!
Postinur: (tears fall from his eyes. It was too painful to bear) you're right. I'm nothing but a ghost. (He disappears)
Alysia: Oh my! What did I just do? Why would I say something like that?
Postinur please I'm sorry! Postinur….
(Her personal maid enters)
Maid: your majesty(bows) Your mother said you wanted your beauty sleep to help your face shine. I figured you'd been up from sleep for some hours. So I brought this (shows her a tray of face beauty supplies for face mask)
May I apply it on your face? It helps to beautiful it and make it smooth
Alysia: Oh sure! Come and do it. (The maids came closer and applied it, Alysia's mind wasn't there, she was worried about postinur. What has she said to him)
Maid: your majesty. It's applied. You can just relax on the bed now. It's already your bedtime.
Alysia: Okay. (Alysia lays on the bed)
Maid : your majesty. Please close your eyes (Alysia obeys, the maid puts some slices of cucumber on her eyes) I will leave you to sleep. I will be back an hour later to remove the mask
Alysia: Alright
Maid: Goodnight your majesty. Sweet dreams (switches the lights off and leaves)
Alysia: Postinur will come later. He never leaves me to sleep on my own. He will come later (consoles herself and goes to sleep)
