His Royal Guard (Completed)

14. Behind The Mask

A/N:

I wrote this while I'm in train, to afraid to fall asleep if I miss my station.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Wayo POV.

"Oho...I see you just kissed N'Phana. So you must already know that N'Phana is your mate, right?" The King teases me.

"What are you talking about, dad? P'Phana is my mate? You must be crazy. I just kissed him because he saved my from those evil people. And, if he is my mate, he will surely will never left me, back then." I say nonchalantly.

"Oh, P'Beam, P'Kit, can you guys accompany me for tonight? I bet P'Phana will gladly take a day of from his duty to babysit me." I show them my best smile. P'Beam and P'Kit gladly flow me while giving P'Phana a teasing smile. And P'Phana looks like he is on the verge of crying. Not like I care. He should know, as my mate, his priority is me. Because he neglected that, I was kidnapped by that traitor.

"My prince, I'll never ever be bored babysitting you" P'Phana pouts. Damn. How can he still looks devilishly handsome with that pout? But I will not surrender. Stay strong Wayo Panitchayasawad!

"Are saying that I'm a kid and still need somebody to babysit me?!" I ask in a fake annoyance. Hand over my heart. "That's it P'Phana. From now on P'Beam and P'Kit will replace you to shadow me around. And I think, they also willing to train me."  P'Beam and P'Kit nod their head.

"I understand you, my prince. Phana always treat Beam and me like we are still just kid too. He always looks down on us." P'Kit wipes his non-existent tear.

"Kit is right, my prince. He always belittled us. Oh. This is the fate of  fragile kids." P'Beam adds the drama. I fake my shock.

"Until you reflect on your action, P'Phana, don't ever come near me." With that, I stomp away to my room with P'Beam and P'Kit behind me. Once we are inside, we can no longer hold our laughter.

"You rock, Prince Wayo. Never in my life I ever see Ai'Pha that helpless." P'Beam is laughing so hard while rolling on the floor.

After our laugh died down, P'Kit says, "You know what we said back there abou Pha is just jokes, right?"

"I know. That is another reason why I ask you two to be here with me instead of P'Pha. I want you to tell me everything about P'Pha. But before that, let me asks the maid to make us popcorn."

"Wuuu....You start to call him P'Pha. I bet he will be over the moon if he heard that." P'Beam teases me
-----------------------------------------------------------

Back in the royal chamber, Phana just stands there, unmoving. Mouth hang wide open, with tear brimmed eyes. He really can't believes this. His mate just abandoned him. On top of that, my friends told him a blatant lies and he believes them. Oh My God! Please tell me this is just a nightmare. PLEASE!!!

King Panitchayasawad just watching the drama that unfold in front of him amusely. "Good luck N'Phana. Hope you will get your mate soon enough. I'm going to sleep first. It was a long night." He pat his shoulder as he past him.

-----------------------------------------------------------
Knoc, knock.

"Prince Wayo, here is the popcorn that you ask." The maid bows to me as she leaves my room.

Then, I go back to lie on my bed with P'Beam and P'Kit. You need to be comfortable if you want to gossip about someone ok, so that you will not easy get tired. Especially that someone is my mate.

"Now, tell me everything about him." I demand as I shove a handful of popcorn in my mouth.

"Where should we start, Ai'Kit?"

"What about we start from when Ai'Phana falls for the prince and his creepy obsession?"

"He was obsessed with me?!" I ask in disbelieve.

"Yeah. You might already know, since he lets it slipped his tongue last time, that he already falls for you since 10 years ago. After you left the refuges camp, he kept talking about you. Repeating how cute and adorable you look. How nice you were to him when you kept telling him sweet nothing to comfort. He will repeat telling us about that times after times every day, to the point we stuffed his mouth with our dirty socks." P'Beam laugh as P'Kit tells the story.

"Yeah, Prince. He even keep a scarpbook about you, you know. Every day he will read the newspaper just to find any article or picture of you. Then he will cut them to keep them in the scarpbook. He will carry that book around, and occasionally he will opened the book, and touched you pictures lovingly like they are the real you." P'Beam adds.

"But my prince, he really is a nice guy. There was one time, a few kids in school tried to bully me and Beam just because we are orphans. Phana immediately came to our rescue. But he did not hurt them badly though. Just enough that they know he is stronger than they are even they outnumbered him."

"Yeah. That's Phana for you. To be exactly, he hates violence since that's what takes our parents away. But he knows, sometimes, you need violence to make people understand that you cannot mess with us." P'Beam flashes a soft smile.

"He likes cats. There was one time he found a wounded cat. He brought it home and nurse it back to its health. He will showered the cat every day. He even powdered the cat just to make sure the cat will always smell nice. At night he will hugged the cat to sleep. To bad, the cat died when we move out of the orphanage."

"Oo. Oo. Oo. Talking about the time we moved out of the orphanage, we almost got into collage at that time. To bad, we don't have enough money. He really wanted to be a doctor. Wonder if he still keeps that dream?" P'Kit shrugs his shoulders.

"What we want to say is, my prince, who ever got him is really lucky. We tried to win his heart though back then, but he loves you too much." Both of them look at me, waiting for my respond.

"I really am, am I?" I stares at nothing in particular, but I notice both of them nod their heads. "Actually, I already like him since the alley. How he looked so cool defeating those thugs singlehandedly. But don't tell him that. I want to tease him some more." And I get mischievous smile from P'Beam and P'Kit.

"WE WANNA JOIN TOO" They scream in unision.
