By saying this, he looked at Andrea and saw her pouting a little. He couldn't control his laughter anymore and burst into laughter. Andrea was just looking at him shocked at the sudden change of duality. Sisir composed himself from laughing and said, "ohh god. I was just kidding. Of course. I would love to join you. But, your face was hilarious. You looked like a baby who didn't get his favorite candy and is now sulking to his mom to get him one. No no. euta badar jasto dekheki thiyeu (you looked like a monkey)" Sisir laughed more. Andrea looked at him irritated and smacked his head hard and said, "yaah. You are a king for god sake. Stop pulling pranks on your queen. Will ya." Sisir suddenly stopped laughing, came near her and whispered in her ear in a playful tone, "so you agree that you are mine." Andrea widened her eyes at those words, backed away and said, "yaah. You seriously wanted to be the 106th death king, don't you?" suddenly, the playful look of Sisir was gone and now he looked scared. Now, it was the time of Andrea to laugh at her husband. She found Sisir's scared expression funny and adorable on top of that. Sisir realized that she was joking and laughed along with her. Those laughs were like music to his ears. He found comfort on those laughs. Soon, tears started to gather in both of their eyes from laughing too much. Between the laughs Sisir managed to say, "Let's stop laughing now. I think my breath will go away soon and I will seriously become the 51th dead king. Let's head towards the lake, shall we? It's getting late now." Andrea nodded her head while trying to calm down her laugh. Soon, they sneaked out of the palace. Why sneaking you may ask?
Like if they told the guards that they are going outside, will the guards let them go. No right. So, they have to sneak out of the palace. They both had worn plain black clothes to blend in with the dark and worn mask as well. While sneaking outside, Sisir whispered to Andrea who was walking in front of him, "why does it look like we are two thieves' who are stealing the jewels of the king and the queen?" Andrea looked back at him and told him to be quiet. After a while, they were far from the palace. They removed their mask and took a deep breath. Sisir said, "phew... thank god. We didn't get caught. Or else we might be in high trouble." Andrea agreed to him and said, "it feels like we are finally out of prison for a while, doesn't it?" Sisir just nodded his head. In the palace, the king and the queen were not allowed to go outside the castle. They are constantly watched by the guards, the ministers and the maids. They were lucky that they didn't get caught. Sisir and Andrea walked for a while until they reached the lake. Sisir looked at the beauty of the nature and said, "it looks so beautiful at night. The reflection of the moon on its surface even makes it more beautiful." Andrea nodded at Sisir's words. They both chatted while sitting on a lake.
Sisir put his head on Andrea 's lap. They both didn't say anything to each other. They remained silent enjoying the moonlight. Sisir looked at Andrea 's face and said, "it is beautiful." Andrea replied, "it is." Poor Andrea doesn't know he is talking about her not the moon. Sisir chuckled and said, "I was talking about you, my queen." Andrea looked at him in shock. Her cheeks were red. She looked at the moon again and said, "shut up." Again silence filled the area. After a while later, they both decided to return back to the castle. They both sat up and headed towards the direction of the castle. But to Sisir's bad luck, he tripped on a rock and fell straight into the lake. Andrea didn't notice him as she was walking ahead of him. When she felt an absence, she looked behind and was shocked to not find Sisir. she panicked and started searching for her husband. She shouted, "SISIR. WHERE ARE YOU? ANSWER ME IF YOU HEAR ME?" She started to roam around the lake. When she looked at the lake, she felt moment on the lake. She became more scared. Suddenly, a monster who looked like it was covered in green algae or something like that came out of the lake in slow motion. She fell on the ground due to the sudden arrival of the unknown creature. She was looking at that creature and that creature was looking at her. But, Andrea quickly came to her senses and shouted at the top of her lungs, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH." The creature covered his ears because of the loud pitch scream. Andrea was having mixed feelings at that time. At first, her husband was lost and second of all she had to face this ugly monster all by herself. But do you think she is a coward? Of course not. she soon composed herself and stood up. She made a fighting position, glared at the monster with her sharp eyes, ready to attack and jumped on the monster. The creature fell to the ground with Andrea on top of that. Andrea didn't think a second before throwing punches at the creature. The creature under her was trying to say something to her but she didn't even let him speak.
Until, the sea monster grabbed her hand and said, "What are you doing? Instead of helping me, you are attacking me like a wild beast. Get off of me woman. Your weight is killing me. Let me breathe, will ya." She stopped her actions and looked at the male under her. His voice sounded familiar. It sounded like her husband, Sisir. Then, realization hit her hard. She said, "your voice sounds like my husband. Oh wait!!! Sisir! oh my god! What the hell happened to you man. Now get up." Sisir looked at Andrea with a done face and said, "first get off of me. You are heavy." Andrea replied, "oh okay." But, she stopped midway, gave a deadly glare to her husband and smacked Sisir's chest. Sisir made an ouch sound and asked, "what was that for?". Andrea stood up and said with an angry voice, "this is for calling me fat." Sisir looked at his wife in pure shock and horror. He said while shuttering, "when did I told you that you are fat. Don't jump into conclusions. By the way what is your weight?"
(A/N: Big mistake Sisir. big mistake.")
Again, another smack landed on Sisir's handsome face. Andrea again glared at him and said, "Look mister, never ask a man his actual salary, a student his grade and a woman her age and weight unless you are in a hospital as a doctor. Did I make myself clear?" She pointed her finger at him. To say the man named Sisir was too stunned to speak. He was like what the fuck just happened here. "And let's get you clean. You look like a mess." Sisir nodded his head and Andrea helped him to stand up. Andrea began to remove the algae from Sisir's body while Sisir looked at her with a fond smile. Soon she finished cleaning the algae out of Sisir's body. They both made their way towards the castle again like thieves. Suddenly while sneaking inside they heard a sound which made their blood cold.
