Meeting The Sultana [Prt.1 COMPLETED]

CHAPTER 11

"Oh, I am sorry. Do you know me?". I asked even though I already knew who she was. Just to make sure she's the woman I'm thinking of.

"Yes Mr. Caio, I just saw you earlier before you went to the library". She said. She has a very beautiful voice.

Why are the women in this place so amazing? let’s assume they are all covered with different colors of Hijab and you can’t see them, but when they are speaking it is as if they are caressing my heart.

There is something about the women here in this area that makes me feel better. Like the woman in front of me right now. Even though she is covered, I am still comfortable in her presence.

"You're Zabea?". I asked the woman.

"I am, Mr. Caio". She spoke in her soft voice.

"Your voice is so beautiful Zabea, do you know that even if I don't see you or you know, in whatever physical appearance you have I'm still happy because I can hear your voice". I told her.

She looked down for a moment and immediately turned her gaze to me.

"Thank you Mr. Caio but what are you doing in this hallway?". She asked in astonishment. I scratched my temple and looked down the long hallway.

I smiled at her awkwardly and replied.

"It's embarrassing to say but, I guess I'm lost, this hallway is no longer familiar to me and I can't seem to see my room". I said.

She looked at my hand and then she looked at me.

"This kind of event really happens to guests because of the extent of the Sultana's Kingdom. But don't worry, I'm here to guide you during your stay here Mr. Caio". She said.

I smiled at her and backed away so that I would not block her, because she was close to the door and I was blocking her path.

"Oh thanks in advance Zabea, but please call me Caio if it's okay with you? I'm just not used to being called Mister. I've been in a formal conversation before and will you also be having a formal conversation with me?". I asked her.

That's right, the Sultana and I have been talking very formally before, and is it also formal with Zabea?

She laughed softly so I smiled. That faint sound was so beautiful and I wanted to hear it again.

"If that's what you want Mr. Caio". She said and she restrained herself from giggling again.

"Mr. Caio again. Just Caio". I reminded.

"Okay Caio, I'm not used to talking informally so be patient with me. I'm just used to talking to people formally". She replied.

"You and the Sultana are the same". I said with a smile. Even the Sultana also spoke very formally.

"Maybe yes because we are in a kingdom, the Sultana taught us how to be formal with guests and I am now talking to you informally. The officials will definitely scold me". Zabea's long statement.

"No, just don't make a mistake in front of the officers. I'm not just used to being called Mister, but if you don't want the officers to scold you, we can act like normal people when we're just the two of us." My suggestion .

I don’t know why I’m becoming friendly with her, I can’t stop myself from talking to her for quite some time and having this kind of conversation. She's just a handmaiden and I shouldn't act like this but I can't do anything if I myself want to talk to her.

"Don't joke like that Caio, I'm not going to be hanged, but I'm doing it for me. I'll still decide if I'll agree to what you want or not.". I smiled at what she said.
