Sisir looked at his behind and saw Andrea with a serious and deadly expression. And suddenly everyone stooped what they were doing and bowed to Sisir and Andrea in respect. For a second... no no for a whole 10 minutes. They forgot that they were now standing in fRont of the king and the queen. Damn they were embarrassed and in trouble. Sisir looked at her side again and saw Andrea in her night gown but she had wrapped a scarf around it. He chuckled in a low voice because she looked cute in that scarf. Soon, his thoughts were interrupted by a guard, he heard "your majesty. Are you okay." Sisir nodded his head as a yes. The queen didn't say anything as she felt awkward from the morning incident. Before Sisir could say anything to her, she went inside her room and closed the door. Sisir sighed deeply.
He looked at his fRont and saw that the people who were there to take him were still there looking at him with wide eyes. Sisir guessed that they wanted to hear an explanation about what happened last night. He told them that he will tell them all about it after a while later. Cause Sisir was still wearing his wedding suit which was covered in blood. Black blood which scared the people as well. But they didn't question further and left. Sisir again sighed for the 100th time although it was just the morning. He could already how his day might pass. Boring. Hell boring. Then suddenly, his brain remembered Basanta as a car is hit by a truck and a train in the movies. He panicked and began to curse himself. "oh. no. oh boy. This is bad. I completely forget about Basanta while being in this mess. He might be still in the jungle. Oh no. he must haven't eaten in days. I have to go and look for him immediately. Why in the world do I have to be this stupid to let him stay there all alone by himself." By saying this he quickly ran away from there but again returned. Why you may ask? Because he was covered in blood of the snake and if he sneaks out in the royal suit, the guards will immediately capture him again and lastly he needed a plan to escape from the palace. He saw that one of the guards was passing by. The guard looked quite young and seem to lack experience. Andrea was still in the room with the door closed. Sisir suddenly had a brilliant idea in his mind. He went near the guard.
Sisir tapped on the guard's shoulder and said with a smile, "excuse me. Can you do me a favor?" he asked in a polite tone to which the guard replied, "of course. Your majesty. I am even ready to sacrifice myself for your protection. Order me." The guard said while bowing to the king. Sisir wanted to puke but the maintained his straight face cause the guards words were sounding so cringe to him. Soon Sisir said, "okay. So I want you to help me sneak out of this palace. ASAP." "but, why do you want to my lord." The guard again asked. This was it. Sisir had enough. He was getting really impatient. So, he suddenly changed his plan. He went really close to the guard and said, "I am sorry but I have to do this." By saying that, he punched the guard in the face. The poor guard fell to the floor because of the sudden impact and fainted.
Sisir started feeling guilty but it was not the time for that. He carried the guard on his shoulder in a room which seemed to be empty. He swapped their clothes. When he was out, he was wearing a guard uniform. He quietly started walking. Soon he reached the outer gate of the palace. He smirked when he thought that his plan had worked. He started walking faster. But suddenly he heard someone shouting. "WAIT. WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU ARE GOING?" Sisir froze on his place. With enough courage, he looked back and saw that an old guard was coming near him. He started panicking and internally screamed. He was ready to face the guard. But, he was shocked when he saw that the guard walked passed him and went near another guard who had a bag of samosa's in it. The old guard smacked the guard who had the samosas and said, "where do you think that you are going with these samosas. Learn how to share and if the king or the queen or the minister saw you eating these in the duty. You would get a painful punishment. Do you understand. Don't eat these now. Let's eat together in the break." The other guard nodded his head and they both went inside. The guards again didn't notice Sisir while he was sneaking out of that place. Sisir soon took the chance and ran away when no one was looking. Sisir started running in an speed of light.
(A/N: like who even hire these type of people)
Sisir reached the town in no time. Most people greeted him because royal guards had higher rank than the commoners and gained a lot of respect. after walking for a couple of minutes. He noticed that he was out of the town as well. He smirked that his plan had worked but suddenly worried consume him when he remembered his brother. Sisir started running like sonic. His head was consumed with all the negative thoughts. But he also calmed himself. Soon, he had reached the jungle where he had left Basanta. he was tired as hell. It looked like he had just run a marathon. He walked here and there for a few minutes to calm down his breath. When his breath became normal and he calmed down. He started to look for Basanta. He went near the same trunk of a tree where he had left Basanta. He began to shout. "BHAI. Kata chas ta? Chito bahira ahiza ta. Yyo ziskane samaye haina. Malai tha cha ki ta masanga risayeko chas ki mahile talai yesari chodera gaye. Tara mero pani euta karan thiyo re. la ba hide and seek nakhelikana bahira ahiza ta."
Translation: 'brother. Where are you? Come out quickly. This is not the time to do jokes and pranks. I know that you are angry with me because I left you here all alone. But, I had a reason. Now, don't play hide and seek and come out. Please.'
Sisir was in the verge of crying. He started to blame himself. Oh how he wished that he had taken Basanta with him that day. He searched for Basanta the whole day but couldn't find him anywhere. At night, Sisir was sitting in the same old trunk. He had an emotionless face. He was tired of shouting and trying to find his brother. He had lost all hopes of finding his brother now at the forest. He assumed that due to hunger, Basanta had gone into a nearby town to get food. but, he didn't expect Basanta to return cause Sisir himself broke the promise. A promise that he made to his mother before her death. He wanted to punch himself for being such a bad brother and a disappointment. He took a long sigh. At that very own moment, a sudden realization again got hit as a train in Sisir's head. he got up from the trunk and said, "wait a damn minute. I am now the king of Noemi. It is a powerful state. I can just return back to the palace and order the people to look for my brother. Why didn't I do that before? I am such an idiot." He started to laugh and then cried hysterically. After a few minutes, he decided to return back to the palace. He had completely calmed himself by now. As it was too dark now and Sisir hadn't eaten anything from the morning. So, his stomach made a growl and he made his way towards the kingdom of Noemi. Soon after a walk of two very slow hours, he finally reached the castle.
