A broken promise - SISIR AND BASANTA

Chapter 24

AT NIGHT IN SISIR AND ANDREA'S ROOM

Warning: *curse language*

Both couple were preparing for the bed. Sisir was managing the bed while Andrea was removing her makeup. She was independent and don't want maids to do that simple work. Suddenly, Sisir called Andrea. "Annie." Andrea just hummed. "look at me." When Andrea looked at him, she saw him giving her a stern look with his arms crossed. She said, "what?" Sisir raised his eyebrows and said again, "you know what I am talking about. Why were you glaring at Diya the whole time?" "I was not glaring at her. Stop imagining things Sisir." But, Sisir gave her a look that clearly said, "tell the truth. I know you are lying." Andrea knew her lie didn't affect him. she signed and said, "okay fine. I was glaring at her because I didn't like her flirting with you. Are you happy now." By saying that, when she looked at Sisir she nearly had a heart attack because he was standing very close to each other. She put her hand on her chest and said in a frightened voice, "are you crazy. You just scared the shit out of me." But Sisir didn't mind that. He was just staring at her which confused Andrea. After a few seconds of complete silence, he said, "so, you are trying to say that you were jealous because she flirted with me." She scoffed at that, looked away from him and said, "yah. Jealous my foot. Me. Are you saying that to me? Yah. Sisir. I am not one of those who gets jealous when a bitch comes over to what's hers. Just go to sleep."

She quickly left from there to the bathroom. While Sisir thought, "did she just said that I was hers. Well basically she is my wife. So yes. Aish. this crazy girl." He chuckled and went to bed. A week went like this. And it was hell of a week for Andrea cause Diya was with Sisir all the time like a leech. Sisir was grateful for Andrea's patience because she looked like she is ready to murder Diya anytime or soon. And he was uncomfortable with Diya as well because most of the time she was clinging with him asking him how he met Andrea and all which he found very annoying as hell. One particular day, Diya said to Sisir, "Sisir." He just hummed annoyed by her presence around him. "so, tell me one thing please. How can you keep up with Andrea?" Sisir looked at her confused but soon he understood what she wanted to tell him. He sighed and closed the book he was reading and said, "look. Princess Diya. I know that you and Andrea both don't have a good relationship with each other. But that doesn't mean you would try to ruin our relationship. She is perfect the way she is. And I like her about that. She is bold and can stand up for herself unlike you? So, excuse me." Saying that, he went away from that room. and Diya was again standing there dumbfounded. but, soon she scoffed and looked at the direction Sisir went and said, "what a son of a bi**h." saying that she went out of the room as well.

(A/N: words coming out like that from a bitch herself. Wow.)

After the encounter with Diya, Sisir was sitting in the garden reading the same old book. Suddenly, one of the guards came there which grabbed Sisir's attention. He looked up as the guard bowed to him. He again focused on his book and asked, "any information." The guard kept his head low and slowly mumbled a no. he was afraid of getting killed. But, what could he do? It looks like the king's brother vanished into thin air. Sisir sighed hearing his answer. He just motioned the guard to leave and the guard practically ran from there like running in a marathon. Sisir put the book down and stayed silent for a few minutes.

Not so long after, Andrea joined him. She sat beside him and slowly patted his hair. she had witnessed the whole scene and was shocked to see Sisir calm as most of the time, he would throw tantrums and turn the whole palace upside down whenever the guards came empty handed without his brother. She had known that Sisir was highly sensitive on the topic about his brother. Sisir had already noticed her presence but decided not to say anything. "still the same." Andrea asked and Sisir replied with a small nod. "will I ever find my little donkey Andrea?" his voice was filled with sadness. Andrea made him look at her, cupped his cheeks and said, "don't give up. Okay. We will find basanta soon. Just keep the light of hope in yourself. Don't let it be vanished. Now, let's go. It's time for lunch already. You must be hungry. Today, we had to do a round up in the kingdom. Remember. Now, let's go before it's too late. And smile a little. You look old when you have that depressed look on your face." That made Sisir laugh. He nodded his head and they both went inside to have lunch.

At night, "Sisir let's hurry up. We don't want to be caught again by your foolishness like last time." Andrea whispered to Sisir. Sisir gave her an offended look and said, "excuse me. Young lady. But you do not have the right to blame anything on me. It wasn't my fault. It was just bad luck okay. How would I know that that the guard who sleeps most of the times like he sold horses, would suddenly be alert that day? If it wasn't for Mr. rana, we would have been doomed. Why the hell are we talking about it at this moment. Let's just leave the topic right now." "okay. Okay. I understand. Mr. lecture. Now, before my ears started bleeding from your speech, let's head inside before it's too late."

So, if you all are wondering what is happening. Then the answer is simple. Both Andrea and Sisir both are sneaking at night to go to the lake again to lighten up Sisir's mood. Right now they are at the palace gate ready to sneak inside. But before they can go inside, they heard a shout, "FIND THEM. QUICK." It was the voice of one of the guards. Both of them flinched. Panic rushed in their veins. "what should we do now." "what the hell am I supposed to? Yah you are the king. Do something." "you are also the queen. You do something." like that they both started bickering with each other. "I have an idea." Andrea said. "what is it?" "just follow my lead." After a while they both were inside the palace. (A/N: don't ask me how?) "Find them." They both heard a voice. But, it wasn't the voice of the guards. It was Diya. "what is she doing at the middle of the night?" Andrea whispered. "how would I know? Let's get inside quick before that witch find us and spread rumors about us in the whole kingdom." Sisir nodded his head and they both sneaked inside their room. just after a few seconds later, Diya entered the room shocking both of them.

Diya calmed her breath and said, "there you both are. I was looking for you in the whole palace. But, why are you both facing backwards. Is there a problem? And where the hell were you two?" Sisir and Andrea both turned around looking at Diya with awkward smiles. Thank god. They both were wearing their normal clothes. Sisir said, "no. it's nothing. We both were just chilling in the garden." "but, I didn't see you there." "Diya, maybe you couldn't see us because of the dark. But why were you searching for us. Is there anything you want?" diya replied with a smile, "oh yes. I just wanted to ask you if you could take me to a tour the next day. I haven't quite seen the kingdom properly, you know. We can..." Andrea interrupted, "so, to ask this ridiculous question which you can ask the next morning at breakfast, You decided to be at our doorstep at the middle of the night ruining our sleep as well as troubling the others. Am I correct, DIYA?" Diya became embarrassed again at that insult from her cousin and shouted, "nobody asked you to talk between our conversation. So where were we? Ah yes. So what do you say, Sisir. You would company me tomorrow right?" this time Sisir answered, "I am sorry. But, I can't join you tomorrow. I have classes with Mr. rana tomorrow. So, my apologies." "can't you ditch those classes for a day. For me. I am a guest here. I will be on your left side" "and right now, you are getting in my last nerve. Can't you hear what he said. If he disagreed, then learn how to respect his decision rather than forcing him for it. You can go to the tour with the guards. They are enough to give you satisfactory protection. So, I suggest you to leave." Andrea shouted, more like rapped in one breath. After that Andrea made a face by which Sisir can tell that Andrea meant, 'run quick if you love your life.' Diya huffed and left in rage again with the feeling of humiliation again.
