Fanat ran to Ixan, trying to console her. "Band karo Ixan (please stop Ixan). Do not stress yourself" she said out, holding Ixan.
"Why shouldn't I Fanat? Kyun (why)? You're the one who said that he's ready to live with me but look at what he has done" sounded Ixan as tears drops from her eyes. And she tried to clean her face. Then she utter, "you're right Fanat. I will never shed my tears for this. And no worry, if the prince is ready to live with her then good. And I should never worry myself for anything again".
"I don't know Ixan. But try and look at it in a good way. Do you think this'll be possible, the man who came out from kingdom family, approved you his life partner. He is always on his way to see you and your family, always hoping that you are fine. And at last, this man will leave you for good, that's horrible Ixan" said Fanat.
Ixan released a hard breath and utter, "I am not able to endure, and I can't believe it Fanat. But ... I should believe in my heart and do the right thing. Please, never let father knows about this. It will hurt him more than the way it did to me and the prince's honor to him will fall. I don't like the prince's dignity to fall. We should wait and see the destiny, whatever God has chosen for us is the best. I know in every relationship there's a kind of problem". She cleaned her face again before she added, "Yes ... I remember, I wanted to visit Aunt Naisa this afternoon. I thought I will spend my time there. So, even if someone comes to see me please don't tell him where I am".
"I understand" answered Fanat. And she added, "let me get back home also. Today I am cooking something delicious, not for you".
Ixan looked at her with frowned face. "Naasamajh (so)!" She sounded funnily and asked, "aaj tum kya pakaane ja rahe ho (what are you going to cook today)?"
"Main nahin bataoonga (I will not tell)".
"Please ha, tell me. I also wanted to visit you after I came back from aunt Naisa".
"Then until you came, you'll see it".
"You this girl. Don't tell, I will find out myself. Go".
And Fanat laughed, "that's my friend. Bye!".
"Bye Fanat" answered Ixan.
And Fanat left.
While Ixan smiled and turned her face to the mirror. As she was whispering in her heart. "I believe in you God. Please protect me and my family. I don't know for how long I should face challenges in my life. Please Lord be my guardian whether I have the prince or not, do not let my heart break for anything" she said the prayer and quickly closed the drawer. Thereby, she took her veil from the cupboard and wore it on her shoulders. Then she took a basket of flowers. In it there are different colors of flowers. She took the pink-color flower and smell as she walked towards the door. After she walked out, she carefully closed the door. "I hope I don't forget the house keys in my room" said Ixan as she quickly checked inside the flowers basket. She released a breath after she found it and sounds, "huh! Thank God". And she walked away.
"Please do me this favor Lihan. Prepare me the horses. No one should know about this. I will be there as fast as I could. And you should go to Heoro and tell Ixan that I will meet her in the afternoon" said prince pial, rushing to go.
"Where are you going?" Asked Lihan.
And prince pial answered, "mother is busy waiting for me inside. I should go before the council dismiss. Please take care brother".
"Do not worry. You may go ahead" said Lihan.
And prince pial went in as Lihan walked away.
Ixan has reached Aunt Mila's house. She kept the flower basket down before she checked the padlock key of the door. "It seems no one is inside?" she whispered in her heart. Then she kindly knocked on the door, still no response. "How comes Aunt Mila, where did she go at this time? She told me she was at home at this time. Truly I cannot stay here for long. But let's see" she sounded while looking around. That's when a little boy passed-by. "Oh, child!" She called the boy as he ran to her.
"Good afternoon Aunt Ixan" greeted the small boy.
And Ixan bent down to talk to him, "how are you Drew?"
"I am fine" answered the boy, smiling.
Ixan laughed and added, "I hope you are good and fit huh".
And Drew shook his head_ sign yes.
"Good. Will you tell me where did Aunt Mila went to?"
"She has gone early in the morning for prayer" answered Drew.
And Ixan placed hand on her head. "Really! When will she come back then?"
"I certainly don't have any idea on that Aunt Ixan. All I knew is when she returns. Better not keep waiting for her. She might come back tomorrow" said Drew.
As Ixan slightly beats him. "Silly! Don't say that again" she said and dragged him close to her, making him sit in her lap. And she continues, "Well, will you escort me home please?"
"Why?"
"I just wanted to check the farm and so we'll chat while we were walking".
"Mazedaar (funny)! Mazedaar (funny)! You should be scared of boys right?"
Ixan laughed and nod her head, "hmm!".
"Okay" said Drew as he stood up. And he gave his hand to ixan, saying "then hold my hand and let's hurry. I have lots of business".
Ixan couldn't stop laughing and she asks, "which kind of business are you doing Drew?"
And Drew kept quiet.
"Drew!" Called Ixan again.
"Hush! As I told you I don't have much time. Stop flattering me with too much questions okay".
And Ixan quit her laugher and responded, "okay. But please let's chat a little".
"No".
"Please".
"I said it".
"But why?" Asked Ixan.
And that's how Ixan continue chatting and having fun with Drew. A short moment they reached Ixan's house. Fanat was sitting on a block in front of the house. And as she saw them coming, she stood up.
"Welcome back! And what are you doing Drew? Mother asked you to get her some muds for cooking right" said Fanat.
As Ixan utter, "please don't raise your voice the businessman. That's my mistake, I plead him to escort me home. How did you came here? Has father return home from the farm?"
"No, it's something I came to tell you" answered Fanat.
"Okay. Go on" said Ixan, looking at her.
And Fanat sounded, "Drew! Go and fetch the mud, go on. Don't be late".
"Mujhe pata hai (I know), mujhe pata hai (I know). You want me to go so that you'll do the secret" said Drew, trying to run. "But don't forget that one day I will hear you".
"Yah, go on. And take care" said Fanat.
And Drew ran away.
As Ixan laughed again, "your brother was surely a joker person. He's more intelligent than you you know".
"I know but now I am not".
"You mean? Oh! Tell me, why are you using mud for cooking?" Asked Ixan.
As Fanat answered, "You may ask mom about it".
"Come on!".
"It's not something serious. If you want to cook some bread, you will need the mud to add".
"On top?"
"Not inside it".
"I know silly. You mean besides the heating place".
"Yah! So that the heat will be more soft for baking the bread. Hope you got it?" Asked Fanat.
As Ixan answered melodiously, "of course I did my sister. Come on let's go inside and have a chat". And she held her hand, trying to drag her to their home.
"Oh wait!" Said Fanat, drawing her back.
And Ixan looked at her.
"Sir Lihan has came few moments ago. And he told me that your prince will be arriving this afternoon".
Ixan wayward and tried to went inside but Fanat held her hand back.
"I have already promised him that you'll meet him. So don't act silly" said Fanat.
"I don't know want to meet anybody. And I don't have time either".
"Ixan!".
"What will he tell me? Or why should I hear him out? He's always saying the same thing. And look at what just happened. Is it not a shame?"
"What's shame in this? He's trying to make it up so don't mess up please. At least behave as a graceful lady you are. If you let him realize that you're somehow ... Hmm! Care for this, he will turn down on you".
"I don't care and I don't mind Fanat. Whatever and however, I will not meet him and you shouldn't force me to".
Strictly Fanat saw prince pial behind Ixan as he was hearing their chats. And Fanat tried to call her attention. "Oh Ixan!" She sounded, trying to alert her to look back.
Peharps, Ixan continue, "It's over. I don't want to see any KINGDOMNIC FAMILY AGAIN in my life". As she turned to enter home, she saw prince pial standing behind her. He was strictly looking at her as he stood. And Ixan was looking at him angrily.
"OMG! What will happen now Ixan?" Sounded Fanat, looking at both of them.
