The Loved One

Bonus part: the big day

Sheena's POV

"So what happened after that big monster took away the Prince??" Nikki asked me in her sweet toddler voice. Her chocolate brown eyes bore into mine as she was desperately trying to find her answers.

"Our brave princess and her friends invaded in that monster's castle and fought with him. They knocked him down and saved the Prince." I took her in my lap.

"And after that?" She insisted.

"God, I have told you this story so many times....okay, after they saved the Prince, that princess and Prince lived happily in their castle."

"Nikki!! Where are you girl??" Amy rushed into my room as she was looking for Nikki. "Oh, there you are...what are you doing in Sheena's room??"

"Sheena was telling me that story, Mom." She said sweetly and scooted closer to me.

"But Sheena has to rest no? She has get ready too for the wedding tonight." She then looked at me," oh yes, Aunty said that the make up girl will be here in 30 minutes and the hairstylist will be by 4 so be ready. Eat whatever you want to eat till then and please drink as much water you can okay?"

Nikki then looked at me with teary eyes,"Sheena you are getting married now...who will tell me this story of that brave princess??"

I and Amy almost laughed at her innocence. I embraced her in a hug and said,"I am not going anywhere. I will always be there to tell you that story okay?"She smiled at me and kissed me on my cheek," But I want to know why you always want to hear this story?"

"Daddy, told me to be just brave as this princess. Be strong and kick asses of bad people." She started giggling. Amy's eyes widened.

"Hey, who taught you that word?" Amy asked.

"Daddy taught me that."

"Jeremy?" Amy groaned," He is going to have it from me. Anyway, come Nikki...let Sheena have some rest and you too." With saying that she took Nikki in her arms and mumbled,"who teaches their 4 year olds such words?"

I can't help but giggle. I walked over to the door and put on the latch. Suddenly a pair of hands warp around my waist. My heart beat suddenly rose to the speed of light, as if I have been pushed back to the time that incident happened with us 8 years ago.

I yelped but a hand stopped any voice to come out. I felt someone's lips come closer to my ear and say,

"It's just me..."

My nerves instantly calmed down by hearing his voice.

"Shit! what are you doing here, Arjun???" I whispered as I struggled out of his grip," you know na, that it is against our tradition. You can see me right now!!"

"Hey listen, no tradition can stop me from meeting you. After all I haven't seen you for a month!! Can you believe that?! A whole freaking month! " Arjun whined like a small child. He is sometimes even worst than Nikki.

"But...you can't come here. What if someone saw you here?" I pushed him away,"By the way, how you reached to my room?"

"One advice princess, don't leave your windows open..." He smirked as draped his arms around my waist again.

"You climbed up to the 2nd floor?"

Me and my family are staying in my house for the wedding which a modern two storied building. Its my spare house. I still lived with Arjun, in his home but I didn't wanted to give my mom a life time trauma that I was living with a boy for almost 7 years...all alone. I have bought this house as an investment not more than that but guess it is much more worth it.
