THE RED ROSE PRINCE

Blossoming love (Continues)

" Prince!
  Prince!!"
He had slept on my shoulder while hugging me. I made him lie down on the grass.
He looked so cute while sleeping. But his face also showed clear signs of fatigue as if he hadn't rested for years. I rested my head on his chest and closed my eyes. I wanted to feel this moment with my Prince. I don't know when but my hatred for prince had vanished. This heart no longer hated Prince.

As the dawn approached. The dim light woke me up.
" Prince, get up its morning."
I whispered in his ears.
He woke up and rubbed his eyes like a little baby. He looked so cute that I couldn't get my eyes off him.
" Ohh !! We are  too late come on let's go to the castle... "
" No prince let's not say it a castle. Its our home, our sweet home."
He looked at me blankly but I guess he was in no mood of arguing. He nodded his head.
Then he surprised me by shouting on top of his voice and taking someone's name. It was Hogster.
" what are you doing?"
Before he could answer a white horse came running and stood in front of us.
" I was calling him."
We sat on the horse and started our journey to our home. It sounds good calling it our home.
But before going there were questions in my mind whose answers only Prince could give.
" Prince, I want to know something." I finally asked him on our way.
He gave a sigh.
" I know what you want to ask.
You want to ask about my hatred for girls and why I am a beast.
Its a long story buried in my deepest corner of heart. I dare not tell it to anyone."
I felt sorry for him, everyone thought of him as a beast but he was totally opposite. A lonely child hid  inside him.
" No I wasn't going to ask about it I know everything about it. Gardener uncle told me everything about your tragic love story.
Well....I mean... U.?"
" what happened. Ask it without any fear."
Finally words came out of my mouth.
" do you really loved Anneliese so much that you burnt yourself to death after her betrayal."
Suddenly the horse stopped.
He turned towards me. He was surprised by my question.
" How do you know Anneliese? No one knows her except me. Not even Erika, whom I consider as my good friend."
