"Hey! Asher! Stop!" A girl is running towards a young boy with flowers in her hand.The girl looks almost 20 years old with a beautiful face and flawless skin with brown hair and black eyes.

"What the hell, Adena?" The boy stops in his tracks and turns around he is a young man with no beard or mustache, looking 19 years old , with short height and slim body.

The girl pants placing her one hand on her knee and the other on the wall. " I forgot to tell you something." She pants again as she was running from at least half an hour to stop him.

"Hurry up, please. You know I can't waste a single second. " He says with an expression less face.

"Shanaya..." Before she could say anything Asher puts his hand on her mouth and drags her in an empty street.

"I told you not to say this name." He says with frustration.

"But...we are alone." She says with a confused expression.

"Adena,.....how many times do I have to explain you that until you're sure that not even an insect is listening, you can't take this name out of your mouth." He says with a persuasive tone.

"Okay, okay." She looks in his blue eyes with her black ones. " So, I came to tell you that the king is ill and most likely he'd die soon."

"So....." He says seeming uninterested in king's life or death.

" So, the crown prince is going to be the new king and he is hiring a new advisor." Adena looks in his eyes with hope.

" You want ME to work in palace!?" He emphasizes 'me' and asks with his blue eyes wide open.

"Yes, Asher." She holds his hand in hers and continues. " Look Asher, I've a power of hearing, but we can't earn money with it. We have to do something to feed ourselves too."

He looks down and thinks for a while. "You're right but I'm trying. I promise we will be happy soon."

"I know you're trying, but if we keep trying like this for even 50 more years we won't be able to have a stable life." She says in a persuasive tone.

"But what if I didn't pass the test for an advisor ?" He says thoughtfully.

"I believe in you my handsome boy, you'll pass." She thinks for a second and then says with an encouraging smile. " If you don't,.... maybe Allah has a better plan for us."

He hugs her and then pulls back. " I'll try my best." He kisses her forehead and asks in a teasing tone. "Will you let me go now, your highness? My girlfriends are waiting."

She chuckles and turns back to leave and then stops. " Don't forget that the interview is in 2 days." She waves a good bye and runs towards the home before she could say a single word.

"Silly girl, why's she always in hurry?" He shakes his head smiling.

He was about head somewhere but suddenly he sees Adena running back towards him. He was about to say something but he notices that Adena looks worried. " What happened? Are you okay?" He asks as soon as she reaches him .

She tries to catch her breath. " He...he."

" He what, Adena?" He also gets worried seeing her face.

" He is.. coming, Asher!"
