Royalty Facade Pt.3

Sumaiya was sitting between the two graves while cherry blossoms was falling on her. It was mid-summer and moon was shining with its all might. After that incident she didn't encounter with Taimur as she has been here.

"It is a restricted area, why have you come here?''

"Your sixth sense is quite impressive. Do you love cheery blossoms?"

"I said, leave from here. I don't like someone interfering my personal space."

"I think you have forgotten what I had told you in that night and look destiny also made us meet again."

"I don't remember anything and whom you meet that night doesn't exist so give your full attention to your would-be wife."

"I am doing that only; Ok I will leave you if you can defeat me in fighting."

"Accepted."

Both got into their position. Sumaiya made the first move which the other dodged easily. Then their sword started clashing with each other. None was less than other. Then Taimur went behind her and pulled her wig making her hairs free. But yet she fights with him like that as she knows none will come here. She went behind and attacked though he dodged it but it made a cut on his wrist. Both was pressing their sword against each other their face was close but suddenly Taimur pinched her waist and kissed her earlobe making her weak. He swiftly throwed her sword by his and fall on ground. When she came to sense, she had already lost the fight but the more she would try to get up the more he will press his body on her.

"Leave me, I said."

"Not so easy princess or should I say my queen!"

"No, that can't happen. I can't be mistress, I don't wanna be."

Sumaiya started panicking a lot and pushed him hardly and run away.

"Mistress?'' Taimur confusingly muttered but then he understands, she misunderstood his actions.

Sumaiya was running but she bumped with Princess Raya, and she knows now what will happen to her. Raya throwed her in front of her parents who looked angry seeing her as a girl. Her father slapped her while her stepmother gripped her hairs,

"You have thus audacity to show your hairs to everyone. Now there will be no hairs of you."

She picked up the scissor but then a voice rang in Sumaiya's mind,

Obviously, especially your hairs and eyes....

She starts backing away shouting No. It angered them more and they throwed her on dungeon where there were two snakes. It is not her first time, and she got tight shackles on her wrist and legs making them bruised. Soon the door got closed and there was only darkness while the snakes was roaming on her body, but she was lying there lifelessly waiting for morning to get free. But within some moments, the door got opened by a loud grasp. Sumaiya find Taimur and Queen Hafsa standing there. Her shackles got opened and the snakes was throwed by the guard. Taimur picked her in his arms and ordered to call the physician.

They were standing outside while Sumaiya's treatment was going on.

"This time it was serious there was poison in the snake's body which went into her body also, but we removed it. If you hadn't brought her on time she could die, or her skin would have burned."

"But other times, the snake was harmless then why this time?'' Queen asked after hearing all but the physician shake his head not knowing and went away.

"What did you mean by others time, Queen?"

"It is one of their punishment methods. Whenever she would fail or go against them, they would punish them, I mean the queen and king. It is maybe the sixth or seventh time her being with snake, first when she was 11 years old. That time the poor child didn't also the snakes didn't had poison she shouted whole night. In morning when she came out, her voice was gone for somedays even she would get nightmares. The second time, 2 years later when she lost a battle, she was being assaulted by a group of man, they tried to rape her.  Actually, they had told to scare her. After that incident she used to flinch with anyone's touch but when Waqir born, she started being normal again. But the punishment was always there for her even a little mistake. They have scared her at this extend that she became emotionless specially Raya she never leaves a chance to hurt or humiliate her. And when you came to me asking about her after your fight with her, I knew something bad will happen. You know I was even at fault but I was helpless then but even after saying the lie I couldn't save my first child. Queen Huzaifa had ordered me to say Sumaiya that it is her mother's last wish that she should live like Tabish. Then even, she killed my first child. Then I told her the truth, but it was too late. Her training had started and there was no escape from there. When I conceive Waqir, they started threaten us with his name and we are now bound to listen to them. "

Taimur was just too shocked even to utter a word. He can't even of these monsters. But he is even a King now they will get taste of their own medicine. His revenge won't be easy for them. Right now, his first priority is Sumaiya. he told Queen Hafsa to go to her room and he sat beside Sumaiya, but he couldn't stop his urge so he went to bed and hugged her little frame with his body.
