Next day I woke up before time to make some buttermilk for after practice. It was for Naseer. I rushed to the arena and awaited his approach. He didn't arrive. I continued my practice. Slowly the arena was full but Naseer did not approach. I was worried about him. Someone tapped me back, I swirled round hoping that it was Naseer but it was Fatima. She raised her dagger to hit mine. We combated each other but she soon lost and I proceeded with my arrows which I had mastered by now. In fact I had become a fairly well warrior by now.
Suddenly a conch sounded as I saw all those practicing lined up. I too joined the queue.
" what's going on? " I asked Fatima.
"We have been called at the palace fir some emergency announcement " she whispered back.
I just nodded and straightened my body. We marched forward towards the palace. It was no larger than my old abode, I heaved a sigh. The throne room was much spacious with gold masterpieces scattered around casually. The king was seated with his queen and... Was it Naseer?
I guessed I was already missing him too much. My eyes widened... It wasn't possible. The king no doubt was my enemy and I had to avenge for my family members but my loved young man was... The prince... An invisible needle pierced my heart, a feeling so unknown surged up. I was too shocked. Soon as his gaze met mine, a smile curled up his lips and I didn't know how to react.
