Safeena

is it love ?

The next day

" You know, I have this theory that every person exhibits a colour in them.They radiate it , like their aura.  Like you? You look like a pink. Just like a lotus." Agastya was talking with the girls in the palace.
" Ohh thank you " that girl blushed at him.
" And what about me?" Another girl asked agastya.
" You are green . Green and pure like the leaves."
" Thank you" she blushed too.
" Am I interrupting in your good time Agastya?" Safeena came searching for him.
" She again?" One girl said.
" What's your problem?" Safeena said.
" Yes princess? You need me?" Agastya immediately stood up.
" Are you done with your flirting?"
" I am never done princess. " He smirked.
" If you don't have anything, safeena please go. At least let us have fun , if you don't want to " one of the girls said.
" Remember, I will fight you and you stand no chance against me. "
" Safeena ! Safeena , my sweet little lovely princess, calm down "
" Hey Agastya, you were saying about the colours every person exhibits. You know what she is? Black "
" I am serious I will break your face." Safeena threatened her.
" She is not black. You know what she is ? She is burning red." He said confidently.

Everyone looked at them looking at each other.
" Yeah , she will burn you with her"
She was about to punch her face but he holded her hand and stopped her and said,
" Then I will burn "
That was a punch on her face without actually punching. His words made her mind go all over the place.
She coughed a little. All the other girls shut their mouths .

" Why did you want me?"
Want him? Like seriously? Want him?

" I -- I forgot " she couldn't remember why she was there.
" You forgot?"
" I don't - why, I -"
" It's okay , tell me once you remember. Let's go together "

They walked together.
" Why are you always with girls ? Don't you have anything else to do ?" She asked him with a little jealousy.
" Girls just couldn't resist my charms , my good looks. "
" Oh is it ?"
" Yeah , is someone jealous?"
" I don't think so "
" How much longer are you going to pretend there's nothing between us?"
" I don't need to pretend, there is nothing between us." She was firm on that , atleast to show him.
" Liar. Stop resisting and enjoy me"
" I don't want to "
" If there were no guards present here , just you and me. Then what would you do ?"
She didn't respond at all. She was speechless.
" Stop irritating me and go away "
She walked away from him .
" Stop "
She stopped.
" Turn around "
She did .

He then walked two steps and asked her,
" Do you still hate me ?"
" Yes I do " she replied in seconds .
He then walked two steps more and asked her again,
" Say that again"
" I hate you "
He then walked few steps again. Now there was only a one hand distance between them.
" Now ?"
" I still hate you"
He put his Both hands in his pockets and came closer to her more than ever. He bit his lips while staring at hers .
She started breathing louder as she was nervous .
" Say it again"
She paused at looked at him biting his lips.
She parted her lips to say something but she had no words.
" Someone can come" she said
" Do you care ?"
He knew she was fearless. He knew that she won't look back but he had to. He had to stop right there. Because if he didn't, then things can get very difficult for them. His brother 's words started rotating in his mind ,
" Don't put her in any danger." He had to stop , He had his reasons.

He lifted his head up and went back a little.
" I - I said , I " he stumbled.
" I will get going" she said
" My intentions weren't --" he paused and continued , " bad.I hope you are not mad at me "
She turned around, gave him a look and moved forwards.

" Did you think I didn't see your little thing going on there ?" Minister Hassan stopped her in the middle.
" I don't care minister."
" The new guy , Something is wrong about his intentions. He is up to something big. "
" You are talking about intensions? You are the one who launders money from my kingdom, he atleast has a real reason."
" His reasons are going to get you in big trouble. He isn't what he shows . I can prove that."
" How?"
" Give me some time ."
" Just do whatever you want"
" You know I will be most grateful to him if he gets you trouble. Mark my words he will leave you alone here in danger and he will get out . "
" Why am I still listening to you ?! " She walked away from him.

" Hey Agastya!"
Shaheen called him while he was having his dinner.
" Yes little princess?"
" I heard what happened today "
" What?"
" Burning red huh ?" She gave a big mischievous smile and he blushed.
" So ?" He said
" So what? Something 's cooking right?" She asked again.
" I don't know"
" What is there not to know ?! Everyone knows except you both. "
" What ?! There is nothing. It's just me , it's my personality. I am a very friendly person."
" Friendly? Or flirty?"
" Haha! Any of that "
" So tell me , what do you think about her?"
" Not again , come on little princess "
" Please, just say it , I won't tell anyone. What do you think of her?"
" She is Fierce, she is bold , she is strong, she doesn't show it but she is caring too. I like spending time with her, I love irritating her and she is just amazing. I have never met someone like her before. I have seen and met so many girls but she just hits differently you know ."
" You are so in love with her " Shaheen smiled.
" No it's not like that" he denied.
" Then what is it?"
" It's something more than that."
" Like?"
" Right now, I can just say that the time is not right "
" But why?"
" It's not " he nodded and stood up with an empty small copper vessel and went to fill it with water for drinking.
" Wait ! What if she feels the same? What will you do?"
" I don't know, I will lose my mind " he talked to her while filling the vessel.
" I will ask her "
" No you won't " he was a little scared.
" Then you ask"
" No "
" Then let me " saying this she started running towards Safeena 's room .
" Stop!" Agastya too ran behind her holding his vessel in one hand .

As they both were running, Shaheen bumped into Safeena . Shaheen stopped herself before she could crash her and moved aside. On the other hand, Agastya came running in full speed straight towards her. He tried to stop himself but while doing so he accidentally splashed all of the water on Safeena's face .

" Agastya!" Safeena yelled.
" What have I done?!" He slammed his forehead.
" What are you doing!" She yelled again and Shaheen started laughing loudly.
" I am so sorry! Sorry! " Agastya was so scared now .
Safeena took the copper vessel from his hands and started beating him with it.
" Why do you always do this?! And then asks me why I hate you so much!"
" Sorry! Sorry Safeena hold on ! Sorry"
" I am all wet because of you!"
" It's her fault!" Agastya pointed at Shaheen.
" It's mine? Do you want to know why sister? It's because he --"
" Stop! Stop talking!"
Shaheen laughed again.
While she was beating him, she slipped on the water and fell on him. He too then slipped and both of them fell down on the ground with one on the other.

Shaheen started laughing more and more loudly.
" Watching you both is really a good entertainment. Keep going ."
Agastya gave a fearful awkward smile at her .
" I am so sorry"
She got up and started walking back to her room .
" Do you want to see me die in her hands little princess?!"
She laughed and said,
" Of course not but it's fun"
" Yeah its fun , watching me die "
She kept laughing at him.
