Sadia was taking notes outside sitting on a bench on lawn
When studying her notes she noticed the weather changes depending on zhan's mood. She don't know if It's just an coincidence. But whenever he looks sad It's starts raining. Most of the time he looks happy when.. It's sunny outside
Zhan got out and noticed her. He sighed
Zhan's pov
Maybe I made her upset. What I'm even trying to hide from her?
He walked to her and sat on the bench with her. She noticed and looked at him.
"Hey" zhan said raising her hand with a smile
Sadia :- Hey
Zhan :- You never told me anything about yourself....You Just ask me questions... That's not fair
Sadia :-I'm actually an author also a journalist
Zhan :- You want to write about this place?
Sadia :- I don't know really.. But honestly that's why I'm here
Zhan :- Well let me introduce me...
Zhan stood up
"I AM THE ONE AND ONLY CROWN PRINCE " xiao zhan " he said opening his arms wide open. It made her burst out of laughter
Zhan :- What??? You didn't like my introduction?
Sadia :- You are such a show off
Zhan :- What is that?
Sadia :- Nothing Mr... Tell me more about you
Zhan put his hands in his pocket and took a deep breath " My dad used to be a king ... And he always told me to learn how to act like one. I had many brothers.. They wanted the thrown more than me so I thought about giving them what he wants. Since nothing about the royalty impressed me. I was in love with the nature always" zhao said looking up at the sky. Sadia truned her recorder on and said " Then what happened "
"I left the palace and came to this village to live peacefully and made this beautiful mansion here. This was all I needed.. Few months after living here I met a girl. She was the daughter of a famous physician of this village. She used to treat people too. I'd see her wondering around jungle searching for herbs when I used to go for a morning walk. She was really kind and beautiful. Everything about her was magical to me. Her smile was like a medicine for me " Zhao smiled a little talking about her . Maybe in his memories eyes he saw that image of her smiling face again
"So where is she now?"sadia asked...
"We were in love with each other.. She was just like the nature... Beautiful, kind, peaceful, mysterious... At some point we even got married. . The years she lived with me was the best years of our life. None of us cared about the society rules. We just used to do what made us happy back then . At that moment I thought, I couldn't be more happy.. Heaven was this place on earth with her " he said and sighed
Somehow it made sadia a little upset....That girl zhan talking about must be really lucky.
But she will just go with the flow
Sadia :- So.. where is she now?
Zhan :- Good times don't last forever maybe.... She had flaw according to everyone.. That she was wise.. She could heal people...
Sadia :- How that's a flaw
Zhan :- Let me finish...
Sadia :- Okay
Zhan :- A rumour was all around this place that she was a witch and she trapped me here with her power
Sadia :- Why people used to say that
Zhan :- Encouragement of the royal's maybe...My father hated her for no reason... He used to think I was trapped by her... That's why I became so blind that I didn't wanted to do anything with the royals...But whatever he did couldn't affect us ... until an epidemic happened . Many people were dying....Nor her father or she knew the treatment of that dieseas... People started to believe she was the cause and that's why she didn't wanted to treat anyone... She is taking lifes to cast her magic...honestly everyone threatened us to leave this place.. Even she told me that she doesn't feel safe here... But I didn't listen.. I just loved this place so much... I kept denying ... Until one night I regreted it all
Sadia :- Why?
" It was almost midnight some people knocked on our door. She dared to opened the door. I was lying down on my bed and suddenly heard her scream.. Some villagers were pulling her.. I tried to stop them but I couldn't... They took her away from me... I tried with my everything to stop them but couldn't do anything but scream...I cried and begged them but no one listened to me. Three people were blocking me from going to her... Only that time I wished for my power... Would it happened to me if I was the king?...I would've killed them all right? They took her away from my sight...The last thing I heard from her was "Zhan I will be back" . But she didn't... I waited for her still hoping that she will comeback " zhan said this in a quavering voice.. He wiped something off his face and looked at her. She noticed that his eyes became bloodshot and puffy
She knew it was hurting him so badly. But after sometime he start's laughing out of nowhere
Sadia :- Are you okay zhan?
Zhan :- You know what I did after that? I burned all of them... All of them was gone... I saw some of them burning while sleeping... How can they sleep so peacefully after hurting her?! I watched them burning in front of my eyes... There so much light around that place.. I've never seen that much of a light in the middle of the night. I was wishing she could see that too.. I know she did see that.... It was so beautiful
He started laughing like a psycho... Like he just said a really funny story
Sadia :- Zhan stop...what are you saying?!
You killed many innocent people! Why you didn't killed the royals who spread these hate om
Zhan came close to her giving her a sharp look and he said " You think I didn't?! How can you think of such things? "
Her jaw dropped hearing this... "Is he being real right now?!" was all that came to his mind
He again started laughing so loudly at a point he fell on ground sitting
Sadia :- Zhan... Are you okay?
Zhan :- This place looks so beautiful now... Isn't it? I decorated it... With full of trees and flowers... I gave it to the nature... But I feel like soon It'll be taken by someone else
Sadia:- No one will zhan... This is your home... Everyone is scared of this place
Zhan :- This is not my home...It's my heaven... Souls returns to the heaven
Sadia :- Zhan? What are you saying?!
Zhao :- All these years I was lonely just like that moon
He pointed at the sky
Sadia :- It's noon.. There is no moon zhan
But as she looked at the sky the moon was just there... She gasped.. There is no way he can change the time...
