Safeena

bad news

It was dark and they both were ready to meet Alfez.
As he climbed up, he happily started to tell his brother the good news.
" Brother, I caught him. I caught the man who framed you."
" You did?"
" I did. Now you will be out . You would be free brother. I can't wait to see you out of these rails "
Alfez couldn't believe his ears. He was very happy that he could come out of all this
" Thank you, thank you so so much. "
" No need of that brother."
" Once I am out, then what? "
" We will figure that out later. Be ready to get out brother."
" Believe me I am."

He came down and ran towards her like a kid.
" I told him. He is very happy Safeena. Thank you so much for helping me. I couldn't have done this without you."
" You don't have to thank me. "
" I have to thank you " he spun her around and carried her back to the palace on his back.

He put her down and said ,
" Time to go. Good night"
" I know "
" Go then"
" Why do you want me to go? You don't want to spend time with me ? Is someone else waiting for you in your room?"
Agastya got scared and started defending himself.
" No no , nothing like that, it's late and you have to sleep that's why --"
" I have to sleep? You don't have to sleep?!"
" No I want to sleep too --"
She started laughing loudly.
" It's so fun to scare you " she said.
" Yeah its funny to scare me. You can pick a fight on anything right?"
" Anything and with anyone"
" Right "
" I am bored " she sighed
" So?"
" So? Let's do something "
" What? "
" Let's sleep in your room today"
" Are you out of your mind? You are taking such a big risk just because you are bored?"
" No It will be fun. Come on "
" You are a fool you know that ?"
" I know , now let's go "
" No . It's a boys room! Somebody can see you and then you know what will happen to us. Atleast they won't kill you but they will kill me !"
She started laughing again.
" It's not funny, they will think that I kidnapped you "
" No-one would dare to kidnap me ."
" Trust me no one wants to "
" Hey !"
He started laughing.

She then pinned him on the near by pillar and leaned forward.
" Now ? Do you want to come or not ?"
" How could I ever deny your wish princess?"
" Let's go then "
" Let's go "

They started walking slowly to his room.
" Don't make noise "
" I am not. You are "
" I can't win any argument with you, can I?"
" Nope "
" Hide " he saw a few boys coming out .
She hid behind the pillars and he covered them for her.
" Hey Agastya what are you doing here?"
" Nothing much , just walking "
" Oh. We heard that you were rewarded by the king "
" Yes I was "
" Congratulations! Great work "
" Thank you guys "
The guys left and she came out.
" Come "
She followed him. Once they got near the door, she immediately went inside.

Agastya leaned at the door frame with folded hands.
" What are you waiting for? It's your room . Come in"
He stood up straight and turned around to close the door.
She tiptoed right behind him. As he turned back around she was all over him. He brought her towards the bed while they were kissing. They kissed each other so passionately that at a point they forgot everything else in the world exists. The rules were gone, the room was gone, the people were gone . There was no one besides them at that moment.She then shoved him on the bed and jumped right back. Both of them giggled out loud.

" We can't talk loudly, someone can hear us " she said to him.
" I won't let you talk " he smirked and kissed her.
She giggled.
The bed was made only for one person. Both of them were adjusting themselves. Safeena was above him when she accidentally fell down from the bed. She gave out a scream when she fell down.
" Safeena!" He started laughing.
" Stop laughing!"
" I am sorry but I couldn't stop"

"What's going on Agastya? Any problem in there?" Someone from outside knocked his door after hearing the scream.
" They heard you! Why did you scream?!"
" What? If you fell down then you wouldn't scream?"
" I don't sound like a girl when I scream. They will know "
She stood up and pinched him. He screamed and said,
" Why did you pinch me ?"
They knocked his door again.
" Agastya? Are you alright?"
" Open the door you idiot " she said.
" Go hide somewhere "
He immediately opened the door after she hid under the table.

" What happened Agastya?"
He closed the door behind him.
" Nothing "
" Why did you yell?"
" My toe accidently hit the bed edge."
" Oh ! We heard a girl scream from here."
" No it was me . "
" Okay "
Saying that they left and he went inside.
" Hush! " He sighed.

" Safeena?"
" Safeena?"
She came out wearing his clothes.
When he saw her his eyes lit up with a big warm smile on his face.
She walked towards him while he gazed at her .

" You know your clothes are more comfortable than mine." She said.
" Take it. But it comes with me"
" I will take it. "
He picked her up and went towards his bed.

The next morning, he successfully snuck her out before everyone was up.
Safeena went to see her father at the royal court where she heard Minister Hassan talking about the attacker.
" The attacker had a terrible heart attack and he died in the prison."
" What?!" Safeena yelled.
" Safeena ? Why are you here?"
" How did the attacker die? What did you do?!" She shouted loudly.
" I didn't do anything! He died by natural causes. "
" Are you -- he was important! He -- did he talk?! Answer me! Did he talk?"
Minister Hassan tell me the truth or else I will kill you right here"
" Safeena ! Language! What are you saying?!" Her grandfather yelled.
" He said that Alfez gave him orders to do so. " Hassan commented.
" What the hell?! Hassan you big cheater!"
" Father listen to me, that attacker told us that he tried to kill you both the times. Alfez didn't "
" We all heard him talk Princess "
" You shut your mouth "
" Safeena, the elders will take care of that , you should leave now."
" Father but --"
" Leave "

Just when she came out of the royal court, she saw Agastya was waiting outside.
" Hey! What happened inside? When are they leaving my brother?" He cheerfully asked her .
Her heart was breaking to break his hope .
" Agastya,--"
" Tell me fast , what happened? " He was so excited.
" Actually --" she hesitated so much to tell him the truth.
" Safeena ? Why do you look like this? Is anything wrong?"
" The attacker -- he is -- "
He grabbed her shoulders ,
" He is? What?"
" He is dead "
She could actually hear his heart broken.
" But he did talk right? They heard him? Right? They heard him right?!"
" No. I don't know. He --"
" Safeena please talk "
" He didn't talk. Minister Hassan said he took your brother 's name."
He immediately went on the ground hiding in face in despair.
" Agastya we will do something. I will do something. I will talk to my father, I am sure he will do something"

Right in that moment , he couldn't even listen to her clearly.

" You still here?" Hassan interupted them .
" You !" Safeena ran on his body in rage.
" Safeena , come back " agastya's voice was low.
She was still ready to hit him.
" Safeena? Come back "
" I am sorry about your brother" Hassan said. Hearing him Agastya and Safeena were shocked.
" Yes, I know Alfez is your brother. Soon to be your late brother."
" What did he ever do to you?"
" Nothing"
" So what now? You tell everyone that Alfez is my brother and throw me out of here?"
" No. I have better plans for you. You haven't got me Assem yet."
" Why do you need him? We already found the attacker that you killed."
Hassan was shocked to hear that Agastya guessed it right.
" Your brother will be dead soon. See him for the last time. If you say so, I can arrange that meeting for you."
Agastya took Safeena's hand and left.
