Forbidden love

Truth

Aaliyah slowly turned back, and came face to face with her prince. She tried to run, but he held her hand.

"Why Aaliyah why? Why hide yourself from me? Was loving me so bad that you had to hide yourself, or did you think you committed a sin by loving me?"

Aaliyah covered his mouth with her hands. "Please don't call it a sin. My love is not a sin. It can't be."

"Then why the hide and seek?"

"Your a prince. I'm a servant. We can never be. I was foolish to think it could ever be. It was a dream. Only a dream."

Aaliyah ran inside. She made up an excuse to the princess, and left.  Jameel followed her inside, and saw her leave. He tried to follow, but was unsuccessful. He wanted Aaliyah. He didn't care if she was a servant. She had captured his heart, and now the heart only wanted her. If he married, it would only be her. He didn't care about the status difference between them. He would give up being a prince, if it meant that was the only way he could marry her. He hoped it wouldn't come to that, because to him, Aaliyah was a princess. She just didn't have a title. He wanted to change all of that. He wanted to give her all the happiness in the world.

Aaliyah was in her room,weeping. Her dream could never become a reality, and it hurt. She didn't realise how much she had fallen for Jameel.  But realising they could never be hurt her more then she realised.  She wiped her tears away, and went downstairs as the princess was back.

"Aaliyah, Prince Jameel has to choose a bride, because his parents want to hand over the duties to him and his new wife. We need to go there, and make a good impression on the king and queen, so I can be chosen."

Aaliyah couldn't hide the hurt she was feeling. She would be face to face with Jameel, again, trying to get the princess chosen. This was going to be a long few days.
