Safeena

obstacles

" Is it hurting?"
" No " she was arching her eyebrows.
" It's okay to show pain. Don't get shy towards me."
" Me ? And shy? Never. I have a high pain tolerance."
" Alright as you say."
" Aseem, don't push the wound in, clean it from above." Alfez instructed.
" I am doing it right, you just don't look here."
" I am not looking. Don't have your own little fun there, pay attention at healing."
" I am not " Aseem chuckled.
" You are not?" Safeena double questioned him as he was swirling his hands on her waist.
" I can do more than this but I am not so you should be grateful."
He grabbed her waist and moved himself between her legs.
" Aseem!"
" What? I am trying to bandage you."
" Like this ?"
" You provoked me now " he whispered.
" Aseem ! " She whispered.
" Come one you are the one who takes risks."
" Your brother can listen -" he kissed her to stop her from talking.
" I love you so much " he said it in her ears.
" I love you too "
He was standing touching his forehead head to hers.
" Sorry to interrupt you both but are you done?"
" Yes we are done." They smiled at each other.
" Now I can look right?" Alfez asked.
" Yes "
" Now what?"
" It's still time to reach anywhere and it's too risky to go ahead at night. I think we should stop here. We all are tired afterall."
" Alright."
" We all can fit in the carriage I guess."
Aseem was about to walk but as he put pressure on his injured leg, he couldn't balance and fell on his knees.
" Aseem? Don't give so much pressure on that leg. You should have asked us." Alfez said.
" No it's alright."
Both of them made him sit again.
Alfez went to the carriage and Safeena followed him.
" Alfez?"
" Yes?"
" Is he alright?"
" Yeah I suppose, he should be. Let's give him some days to heal. If there is still a problem then-"
" Then?"
" Then we would have something to worry about. We would have to show him to someone greater."
" Okay but I am still worried, I mean he is not even able to stand properly."
" Let's not come to any conclusion now. We will wait."
She nodded.
" Let's get him to sleep." Alfez said.
" Aseem come on "
They walked towards him and Alfez supported him to walk and get in.

It was midnight, Alfez and Safeena were fast asleep but Aseem was wide awake.
" Safeena!" Aseem whispered.
" Safeena wake up "
" Get lost " she said in her sleep.
" It's me , wake up please"
" What is it ?"
" Alfez is asleep "
" So ? I was too before you woke me up ."
" You dumb "
" You are dumb"
" God do you fight in your sleep too?"
" I can kill in my sleep too "
" Yes I am dumb, now listen, Alfez is sleeping so you know we can--"
" We can what?"
" Wake up fully first."
She sat down.
" Good girl."
He looked at her with lust and desire.
" Don't you look at me like that Aseem. Look he is sleeping just right next to us."
" You know the first time we had - was in the forest remember?"
" I remember "
He came close to her.
" That night was unforgettable for me."
" For me too "
" You ripped my clothes "
" I know "
" You wanna do it again?"
She smirked.
He led his mouth close to hers.
" Not even now?"
" Stop "
" Really?"
" No " she kissed him. He always waits for her to kiss him first. He likes it when she takes control of him.
" Your brother is literally right next to us . Stop making noises."
" Let's get out of here then"
" You can't even stand properly."
" I told you earlier, no wound or injury would stop me from loving you."
He kissed her neck removing her dress just below her shoulders.
She had him with his collar in her hand.
" I swear to god , I missed this so much. The smell of you, your smile ,your eyes God ,your lips! , your taste, your hand on my collar , your ripping my clothes god everything."
" You know what I missed the most about you?"
" What?"
" Your words."
He smiled.
" The way to talk to me. The things you tell me. I never heard anyone talk to me like that. You make me feel appreciated."
" And why do you think I won't? You are the most amazing woman I have ever met. And you know I am so proud to say that I am your man. You choose me."
" And why did you think I won't choose you?"
He smiled again and kissed her.
" Ahh"
" What happened?"
" Nothing it's just my leg."
" What's wrong? Did I accidentally --"
" No no it's not you. I just moved it."
" Are you sure it's alright?"
" Yes it's okay. Now come on rip my shirt."
" Aseem!"
" Please I have been waiting for it since so long."
She grabbed his jaw and brought it towards hers.
" You are completely mad." She claimed.
" Only for you "

They are almost done with talking now when suddenly, Alfez coughed and both of them turned into a statue.
" I told you he will wake up." She said to Aseem.
" Alfez are you awake?" Aseem asked.
" No " Alfez replied.
" God you are an idiot Aseem I am so embarrassed." She hid her face.
" I? You are - if you would have agreed to get in the forest, this wouldn't have happened."
" What? Can't you sleep peacefully?"
" You --"
" What you?! You are an idiot" she said.
" You are" Aseem replied.
" Stop both of you . I am an idiot fine?" Alfez tried to stop their fight.
" Alright " both of them said it together.
" I feel like I am here with my two kids. Both of you now go to sleep . Whatever you want to do, do it when we reach somewhere."
He took a pause and continued
" And please don't do it in front of me ever again. Aseem!"
" Yes brother "
" I am so embarrassed Aseem. What will your brother think about me?" She whispered to Aseem when they went back to sleep.
" He will forget this in the morning. Don't worry "
" Get back to sleep" she ordered.
" Like we have to ?" He smirked.
" Aseem"
" Going."

The next morning their carriage was heading towards Hastipur to their home.
" Alfez? I want to ask you something." She asked .
" Sure ask "
" Is there someone special?"
" Someone special?"
" Yes any girl you love?"
" No " Alfez laughed.
" I am serious, you can tell me , I want to know."
" No I don't -"
" Alfez sucks at talking with girls. He is very shy. I have always told him to learn a few flirting things from me but he doesn't listen." Aseem said.
" It's nothing like that." Alfez denied.
" You see I will get married before you do" Aseem said confidently.
" Alright do get married. I will be very happy."
" Don't worry, you will find a girl too."
" Thank you. "

After hours of talking all three of them became best of friends. They finally reached their kingdom, Hastipur. They were stopped at the entrance by the boundary soldiers.

" How many people are there?" One of the soldiers asked them.
" Three." Alfez replied .
" We need to check your carriage."
" Sure."
They all climbed off the carriage.
" You?" The guard looked shocked after looking at her.
" What happened?!" She asked.
" Is she with you?" He turned his attention towards Aseem.
" Yes "
" What's your problem?" Safeena asked them .
" You are not allowed here."
" What do you mean?! Who are you to tell me that?!" Safeena shouted.
" Wait Safeena , let me talk to them."
" What's the matter?" Aseem asked them calmly.
" She is not allowed here."
" Why? She is --"
" She is princess Safeena right?"
" Yes."
" We have orders to arrest her if she enters our kingdom."
" What?"
" Who gave you orders?"
" Our king."
" What? Why?"
" We don't know that."
" I want to meet prince Agastya." Aseem said.
" You can go in , alone."
" I will look into it. Alfez stay with her."
" Yes."
He looked at Safeena's furious face and said,
" Safeena , try not to kill anyone."
She smiled at him.
