"Yes we can talk. I'm sorry about earlier I was upset about the news."
"I'm upset too. I don't want to get married to someone I don't love."
"L-love."
"Yes, love," he thought deeply.
"Well what are we? I know with you being the prince your duty will be the kingdom. I'm just your cook who promised to not get involved with you, but as the days go by that seems harder and harder. That's why I'm upset."
"I understand that. It's hard for me too, If only I wasn't born with this status, It's not all it seems to be. If i was to marry anyone it would be you. Everyday as time passes, I see my future with you."
"With me" I asked shocked.
"Yes. I want you. I need you. If desire is the root of suffering, let me suffer. I desire you."
I was completely speechless how do I respond to that. My heart was jumping out of my chest, so much to take in, so much to process. All this happened so quickly. Think, think...
"I love you," I blurted out then covered my mouth.
He smiled showing his lovely smile. So handsome.
"I love you too."
The barrier has been broken. He's already inside.
"So are we seeing each other?"
"No."
"No?"
He inched closer to me step by step until he was right in front of me looking into my eyes.
"Don't take your eyes off me."
"O-Ok"
I felt something slip on my ring finger. Well what else what be on there other than a ring. Wait!! A RING.
"It was my mother's. She told me to give it to someone I truly loved. Someone I imagine growing old with, like she did with my father."
His eyes started to well up and so did mine.
"My beautiful boy," I said while running my fingers through his hair, "let it out, I'm here."
He clinched to me with his warm embrace.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
