Meeting The Sultana [Prt.1 COMPLETED]

CHAPTER 31

The afternoon passed quickly and now the world was dark. Like in Africa, I am at the top of this palace and from here I can see the busy street of India.

I could see everything but the city was far away from here. When I was 24 I visited this place, I remember I went to a wealthy family and they made a deal with me to paint their portrait.

India is a wonderful place, the people are amazing, some of them were mean but their culture is unique.

I hugged myself because of the cold air hitting my body tonight. The balcony on which I am is even bigger than the balcony that my room has in Africa.

But I have a lot more good memories in that area. That’s where I first saw Zabea, that’s where I first hugged, touched and kissed her. Everything about that woman is wonderful. She's the definition of wonderful.

I just hope the Sultana agrees to my plan about saying I want to marry Zabea. Even if she doesn't pay me for teaching her in the past few days, just allows me to be with Zabea.

I have nothing more to ask for but to be with the woman who made my heart beat.

And speaking about my task, I have no intention of finishing that mission, because when I get caught I know I will never see Zabea again.

I wouldn’t ruin that opportunity just because of the big money.

I woke up early because of the maid. She told me that I should be ready because the person who will provide the food will come later. I don't know how their system works here and it's different from what I'm used to in Africa.

The room given to me here is just a room without kitchen and laundry room. There's just a spacious bathroom and thats it.

So maybe I need to get ready to go down to the first floor? Or will they deliver the food? I don't know as far as I know, I'm dressed now and just waiting for the maid's go signal.

I immediately looked at the door when I heard a knock. I got up and went to the door and I opened it. The door was so heavy and large that it was a bit difficult for me to open.

When I opened the door, guards immediately appeared and greeted me. They bowed in front of me and treated me nicely, different than the guards in Africa.

I was surprised when the guard in the middle suddenly hugged me. My mind was full of questions. One is, why did he hug me?

"I'm grateful to finally see you Caio.". He said. I looked at him in astonishment.

"I'm grateful too for your warm welcome.". I said to him.

The guard smiled and I was still confused.

"I am the head General of the Sultana's palace. I have been in charge of everything for ten years. And I am happy to see you here". He replied. I'm still confused about him.

"If you are the head General then I am glad that you are not like the head General in Africa. He treats me wrong and it seems like he is always angry with me. It's nice to meet you General". I smiled at him and I took his hand for  a shake.

He's a well trained General. He was a real general than the African general who did nothing but get angry with me and criticize my every move.

"Yeah, I know him. He doesn't know who you are so that's how he treats you. He doesn't know what he's doing Caio". He said to me. I was just surprised because we are not close friends yet why he calls me by my first name.

"You know my name?". I asked confused. Still confused about his presence.

"I've met you before and you don't know how important you are Caio. But forget about that. The important thing is you're here and I have a chance to approach you this close, my friend". He said. I just smiled despite my Surprise.
