Max's Adventures Moments 💕

Proud Father(Leena's Story)

Remember the proud father request I did. Well we saw what Max was going through but what about Leena?

Leena was walking the halls. She just finish checking the food menu for the wedding. Their wedding was just one month away and Leena was both excited and anxious for the wedding.

She walked to a corner and she spotted Max standing in front of the statue of his father. Leena was about to wave at him but her smile fell when she saw the upset look on his face. Max was staring at the statue sadly.

Leena understood what was upsetting him and she approached him. Leena knew how painful it was for Max that his dad couldn't be at the wedding.

"Max?" She said and placed her hand on his shoulder. Max turned to her and he fake smiled at her "oh Leena. Um hi. What are you doing up?" He asked trying to hide his sadness.

Leena blinked at his sudden change of behavior but she knew he was trying to hide his sadness. "I was just finishing looking at the menu for our wedding" she explained but she stared at him worried and Max felt that he was unable to hide his sadness from hers.

"Max I know what's wrong. You're...well.." Leena hesitated because she was worried it would upset him more. Max got a little upset but he was angry. "I need to go. Goodnight Leena" he said sternly and walked off. Leena stared at him surprised from his sudden angry voice.

"Max!" She said surprised and ran after him. She grabbed his shoulder and made him looked at her. "Max I know what's wrong. Let's just talk about it. It's ok" she tried to convince him but he shook his head and pulled his arm away from her.

"Seriously. I don't wanna talk about it. And I don't need to talk about it. So just leave me alone" he told her angrily and she got more surprised and hurt from his words and anger.

"Max you shouldn't be like this. You shouldn't be upset. I know it's hard but your dad...he is here. Here in your heart" she tried to reassure him but then Max turned to her so mad that it startled her.

"I want my dad here with me! It's not fair! Why can't I have him in the most important day of my life? Why can't I have him meet you? Why can't you be one parent short like me?!" He yelled at her furious and Leena gasped horrified by the last part he said, her hand covered her mouth and her eyes started to water.

Everything went silent and Max huffed, taking a deep breath to calm down. "Sorry sorry it's just that...I need to go" Max said wearily and he left Leena there and headed to his room.

Leena stood there shocked, her heart hurt from what he said. She stumbled back a little and then ran to her room. She shut the door and jumped into her bed, her face buried in her pillow, sniffling and crying.

She moved her pillow out of her face, her cheeks streaming with tears. "Why would he say that?" She wondered between sobs. 'Max would never say any mean things to anyone. He would say never mean things to me. How could he?' She wondered in her head.

Leena sat upright on her bed and looked at her hand. Her other hand came and grabbed on the ring, about to remove it but then a thought came in her head.

'Max would never mean to hurt anyone. Plus I know what's it like to not have your father around your whole life' Leena said in her head. She stood up and left her room and walked to Adisa's statue and stood in front of it.

Leena knew some things about Adisa. He was one of the greatest and most kindest kings in the Lion Kingdom. Her mom told her Adisa would fight bravely and try to form peace with other kingdoms. It was a shame he could be hear for his son's wedding...or that Max could meet him.

Leena sighed looking down but then her eyes spotted the shimmer in her ring and she recalled that although she never met Adisa, he was just like his son.

Leena looked back to statue "I know we never met Adisa. But I do know you are just like your Max. Brave, kind and an amazing leader. I promise I will do my best as queen and stand by your son always" she told the statue proudly.

Leena headed over to Max's room and knocked on his door. She wasn't sure if he was still mad. Finally the door open and Leena notice he looked like he just woke up.

"Max I know you're angry but..." she started but she didn't get the chance to finish when Max suddenly hugged her tight. "Max?!" She said confused and puzzled as she looked at him.

"I'm so sorry Leena" he said and Leena slowly wrapped her arms around Max. She smiled although she had no clue what got in to him, she knew that it must have been something good. "I'm always here for you Max" she told him as they broke the hug, they looked at eachother. She could tell in his eyes that he never meant to hurt her. She was happy to see him happy again.

"And I'm always here for you" he told her, kissing her forehead as the two smiled at eachother.
