? Next Morning ?
THE morning arrived so fast as far as Rina was concerned. It was even her mother who had woken her up, she just laid on the bed, snoring like a pig.
“Wake up Rin, wake up”, she said as she tapped on her legs, and then walked over to the alarm clock at the edge of the bed.
“No wonder you are still here snoring out, this wasn’t set”, she said and left the bedside.
“Oh mum?” She finally opened her eyes, “what says the time?” She yawned.
Selena stopped and stood arms akimbo.
“It’s 4:30 sleepy head, you better start getting ready”, she said and began walking out.
“What!” The sleep finally eluded and she sat up, shocked at what the time was. “Isn’t that too early?” She asked.
Her question stopped her mother in her tracks. What the hell was she saying? She turned to her.
“Weren’t you there at the living room yesterday? Didn’t you hear what the Queen had said?” She rhetorically asked and then a muffling sound at the living room halted Rina from saying anything. She looked curiously at her mother, her brows furrowed.
“Who is that?” She asked.
“The guard. Get ready, come on”, she said and left the room.
Rina reluctantly dragged herself out of the bed, and dashed into the bathroom, where she spent all her days brushing her teeth and bathing.
Finally, she was done and she sauntered out of the bathroom. She walked to her dressing table and got prepared.
Looking into the mirror, she admired her little invisible baby bump, placed her left hand on it and smiled.
“I love you little thing”, she muttered, “even if you are taken away from me, I promise I’m going to find you someday”, she whispered.
Well, she has decided to accept her fate, since there was absolutely nothing she could do about it. With a sad and happy heart, she would go to wherever Queen Arya has prepared for them, take care of herself and give birth to this baby.
Giving the baby up isn’t her plan or wish, but what could she do about it? Nothing for now right? But she so well knows she was gonna be back for the child.
As for the father, she would try her possible best to forget everything about him, although it wasn’t really gonna be easy at all, but she was gonna try, and pull through.
Despite everything that had happened between them, all she was made to go through, the haters and all. Was it Vidya? Or Bellarmine? Or Alina? Or Sukhi and the rest of her bullies in school? Or was it the kidnappings and all? What hasn’t she been through because of him?
Well, maybe they just weren’t meant for each other after all, maybe he and Vidya would be so good together, who knows? She shrugged.
“I’m gonna get a good life and be back for you baby”, she said as she rubbed her tummy, smiling into the mirror.
An abrupt knock on the door interrupted her and she sharply turned to the door.
“Who is it?” She asked.
The door opened and her mother poked her head in.
“Come out now, she is here”, she said and poked her head out, then locked the door.
“What?” Rina exclaimed and looked outside through the window, it was true.
Although she couldn’t see anything for everywhere was still dark, but the lights from the headlamps of their car made it possible for her to see through. She quickly left the room.
She got to the living room and found her seated already, the she-devil. She sat watching the guards take their bags to the car outside. She frowned.
“Good morning Rani”, she greeted and went to sit with her mother who was sitting at the other couch.
Arya turned to her.
“Morning”, she grunted a reply.
At this juncture, the guards came in and took away the remaining bags, nothing remained. Then Arya turned to them both.
“I do hope you gonna find this interesting, you don’t have anything to worry about, just don’t misbehave or do what I hate”, she said and got up, then walked outside.
Selena and her daughter got up and followed. They got outside and it was still dark, it was the headlamps that lit up the environment.
As they were being ushered to the awaiting car, mother and daughter kept turning back intermittently to look at the house. Rina couldn’t hold herself back, she began whimpering. Selena just shook her head and went into the car, Rina followed, and the door was closed.
Rina looked through the window and saw Arya handling a bunch of keys to Dean, and then with it, he locked up the door.
The door opened again and the Queen entered, followed by a guard. Dean sat at the front, and then with the driver, they slowly began driving through the driveway and into the road.
Rina couldn’t stop looking at the house, she turned to look through the back window and noticed a guard was still there. He was standing in front of the garage, looked like he was trying to get in. Ahh, the car, it’s been confiscated.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
They finally hit the road and the car sped off, driving like mad. They were the only ones at the road at that time of the morning.
They were leaving Shimla, leaving their own town who rejected them, calling them paupers, leaving it for good.
She remembered Zaina, her best friend. What would happen with her now? Maybe she was gonna start looking for her, she might even inform Raghav and they would both start looking for her, right?
Raghav would have even since yesterday began calling her non-stop, ringing her phone like mad. What would it be saying? Not reachable? Unavailable?
What about the Princess? What about her few friends at school? Her teachers as well? God! This was indeed wrong timing. With her both elbows on her laps, she covered her face, hot tears streamed down.
Her mother noticed her crying and gave her a handkerchief, she took it and dabbed her eyes with it.
“Don’t worry, it would be fine”, Selena said and wrapped her arms around her in comfort.
Few minutes later, they were already on the highway, about to leave Shimla soon. Rina kept her eyes wide open to see if she could know anywhere, but who was she? Has she ever travelled out of Shimla for once in her life, she can’t even tell where they were.
About an hour later, they left Shimla kingdom, and began heading for ‘God knows where’.
