⚜️ CHAPTER 6⚜️
? AARON ?
I helped Akira out of Prince Arjun’s hands and helped her to her room. Her face was swollen and damaged.
“I hate these people.” I said as she sat on her own bed.
“You can’t blame them. They have no respect for ordinary humans, talkless of slaves.” She said in pain.
“This is cruel! So cruel!” I yelled making her flinch.
“Aaron watch what you say. I don’t want to lose you okay?” She stated and I sighed staring at her.
“Do you have any ointment around?” I asked and she nodded.
“Nikita kept some in the drawer for us. Just for times like this.” She said and I walked to the drawer to get it.
I looked for a cloth around and to-re a small part of it. I walked to the bathroom to get water In a bowl and then came back.
“This may hurt a little. But it’s for your own good.” I said and she nodded not muttering any words.
I dipped the cloth into the water, and held up her face. I began to use it to clean the faces of the wound and she winced while I did.
“Why did she do this to you?” I asked as I helped her clean her face.
“Because she feels I love looking for attention anytime I am around Prince Arjun.” She explained.
“But that isn’t true.” I said and she sighed.
“I know. But she doesn’t know that. And that is why she did this to me, to my face.” She said staring at herself in the mirror.
“Now you know why she did this to you. You nee-d to stay away from Prince Arjun.” I said and she nodded.
“I know that too, but he doesn’t want that. Even after I told him, he told me that he isn’t hating me, neither am I staying away from him.” She muttered and I stood up in anger.
“That is so selfish of him! You are the one suffering, you are the one that keeps paying for everything. You nee-d to stay far away from him.”
“I know he is nice to the slaves, but his been nice to you Is putting you in trouble,not him. You should hate him if possible.” I said and she sighed.
“I will stay away from him. But hate him? I don’t think I can do that.” She said calmly.
“You will have to. You are too innocent for this kind of treatment Akira. You nee-d to be careful.” I pleaded and she looked at me nodding.
“Thank you Aaron.” She mumbled.
“Thank me for what?” I asked staring at her.
“For helping me with this. You shouldn’t be the one doing this.” She said and I smiled.
“Of course I should. I am your friend, and the rest of your friends are busy serving the Royals. We are friends Akira. I am here for you.” I said and she smiled looking at me.
“Thanks.” She said hu-gging me, and I was shocked at first. I later hu-gged her in return smiling widely.
I brushed down her hair with my hand, showing her she could be comfortable around me, and ever trust me.
“It will fine Akira. I promise.” I whispered ki-ssing her hair.
〽️ PRINCESS HANA 〽️
Arjun walked into the dinning area looking very pissed, and I knew something had happened again. He sat next to me and kept his head bowed facing his food.
“What’s wrong? You are boiling.” I whispered in his ears.
“Can you please promise me something?” He asked and I arced my brows.
“Sure. What’s that?” I asked looking at him.
“Promise me that you wouldn’t let anyone just use your maids like they are theirs.” He said and I sighed.
“I don’t un-derstand. Is this about Akira?” I asked and he looked away.
“You nee-d to see how they have treated her today. She is your maid and no one has the right to use her or even lay a finger on her.” He said within gritted teeth.
I looked across the table and I saw Maya and her sister chatting.
I stood up and walked out of the room holding Arjun as I did.
“What Happened to Akira?” I asked as soon as we moved far away from the dinning room.
“Niran told Katika about what Akira did that night at the party. So she wanted her to suffer, so she ordered Akira to wash all her clothes with her ba-re hands.” He explained.
“What?” I asked in anger.
“I dismissed her and asked the Palace maids to take over the washing,using the machine. I got to meet with Katika and I made her un-derstand she has no right to send another person’s maids errands.”
“To be honest I didn’t know all these happened.” I said sadly.
“I know and that’s why I am telling you this. That isn’t all Hana. After that, can you believe Maya actually attacked her and beat her up?” He asked and my eyes wide-ned.
“Is she insane?? Why would she hit her?” I asked angrily.
“No matter what she feels or what she has done. She has absolutely no right to touch her.” He stated and I nodded.
“I swear I will make Maya regret this. I actually thought she would be a little different from Katika. But now, I can see she is worse.” I said angrily.
“She is in her room. You should go see her. Aaron is with her.” He said.
“Aaron.” I called looking away.
“What’s wrong? He asked and I shook my head looking at him and smiling.
“Nothing. I will go to her now. I will handle Maya later. Looks like father will be the one to settle this.” I said walking away.
I headed to the room and Aaron’s name kept ringing in my head. So he and Akira are friends.
That’s… Good.
I got to the room, and opened the door to see his face very close to hers. He was helping her clean her face and they were staring at each other.
Immediately they both saw me, they bowed their heads and I pretended like I didn’t see anything.
“Hey, are you okay?” I asked approaching them.
“I am getting better Princess Hana. Aaron is helping me apply some ointment.” She muttered and I looked at Aaron whose head was still bowed.
“Thank you Aaron. But you shouldn’t be here you know. Call Mei and Vanna, they should come take care of her.” I said and he looked at me nodding before walking out of the room.
“You have no rights to answer to anyhow apart from me. I am your master and only I can give you orders.”
“Not Katika, not Maya,not Niran, not even Arjun. So don’t let yourself suffer for nothing.” I explained and she nodded.
“Thank you Princess Maya.” She said and I smiled faintly. The door opened and her friends came in.
When they saw her their eyes wide-ned,but they couldn’t hear anything because I was there.
“You should take care of her. She nee-ds your help.” I said and they nodded with their hands folded.
I walked out of the room and I met Aaron in the hallway.
“She will be fine.” I said to him and he nodded.
“Thank you Princess Hana. I really appreciate it.” He said and I shook my head.
“You shouldn’t be. She is my maid, I should take care of her.” I said Smiling and he nodded smiling too.
“And how are you?” I asked and he sighed.
“Good. But always very careful.” He said and I nodded un-derstanding exactly what he meant.
“You should be.” I said looking at him and he stared back.
“Aaron.” I heard Nikita call and we looked at her.
“I would go take care of Maya.” I said walking away.
******
? ARJUN ?
We were done eating, and I was patiently waiting for Hana to bring up the matter about Akira right in front of Father, so we could trash it out once and for all.
“You should say this in front of Father.” I said to her and she shook her head.
“We shouldn’t involve Father. If he is involved, all the palace would have eyes on my maids and I don’t want that for them.” She said and I sighed.
“How then would Maya take you seriously?” I asked and she smiled.
“Trust me Arjun. You know when I mean to do something I do it. This nonsense has to stop. When I saw Akira, I was so angry and I am still angry.” She said looking at Maya as she stood up with her sister Katika.
They walked out of the dinning room, and we stood up too following them from behind.
They began to walk to the room where Maya kept Akira before, and Hana made sure they got there before she said anything.
“I bet you are looking for my maid Akira inside there.” Hana said and they both looked back.
“Where is she? She is un-der my wrath.” Maya said and I looked at her in disgust.
“Your wrath? And who are you to be wrath with my own maids?” Hana asked angrily and Katika looked at me.
“She crossed my path.” Maya stated again.
“How please?” Hana asked standing akimbo. We stared at them waiting for their response but we got nothing.
I knew she had done nothing wrong, they are just jealous of her.
“Looks like we don’t have anything to discuss about her offence then. So, I see no reason why you should lay your filthy hands on my maid!”
“Even if she did anything wrong, you have no right to punish her. You come to me first, tell me about it, then I decide what to be done with her! You have no right! I repeat no right! To lay your finger on her again.”
“Not only Akira, but any of my maids. Father did you enough good by providing your own maids, so stay clear from mine.” Hana ordered and I felt so Happy. I loved the way she handled the issue.
“Are you yelling at me because of an ordinary slave?” Maya asked angrily.
“Yes! And I will do it all over and over again! If you have no respect for humans, well sorry for you. You can take that mentality else where. But not anywhere close to me or my people.”
“If you aren’t satisfied with everything I have stated here today. Then you can pack your bags and leave. I didn’t want you here before.” She said angrily.
“So you stand there and let your sister talk to mine like that?” Katika asked me.
“She has every right to, since you both don’t want to know your place in this Palace. You do as she told you, or we take this to Father. Thank God he made the rules himself. You will be no doubt guilty.”
“One more finger on her hair, you won’t stay another hour in this Palace.” I threatened angrily.
“Silence! What is going on here!” I heard Mother cut in and we all kept shut exchanging unpleasant looks.
“Can someone tell me what is going on?? Or I sweep you all to the King!” She yelled and Hana looked at her.
“Mom I would explain everything.” Hana said and she looked at Katika and Maya.
“Both of you to my Chamber now.” She said to Hana and I. We nodded looking at them one more time before walking away.
“That was so br@ve of you Hana.” I said and she breathed out releasing the frown on her pretty face.
“I was so pissed and I had to pour it out. They are just so full of themselves. I hate them.” She said as we got to Mother’s chamber.
We walked in and sat on the chair waiting for mother to come in.
The door opened and mother walked in looking furious.
“Hana what was that about?” She asked folding her arms and looking at both of us.
“Mother Maya laid her hands on my maid Akira. She beat her up and her face got swollen. I had to give her a dose of her own medicine.” She said and Mother sighed.
“You didn’t have to go that far, you said a lot of things you shouldn’t have said. And your father mustn’t hear it. You know how bad he gives his judgement.” She said and Hana nodded.
“I know and I am sorry. I got so pissed after seeing the poor girls face.” She said and I remembered her face again.
“And you Arjun. How do you come into this matter?” She asked and I looked at her.
“Mom all these happened when I was around. When Katika asked her to wash clean clothes with her ba-re hands, when Maya beat her up and locked her up in the room. I couldn’t just sit and do nothing.” I muttered.
“You should have left it to me, or Hana her master. You taking part in this will only complicate issues when Father hears about this.” She said sadly.
“How would it complicate issues? Caring for her is wrong?” I asked.
“Your father heard the statement Niran said at the table earlier. If he hears this too, he would think there is actually something going on between you two.”
“Or is there something going on between you two?” She asked with her eyes wide-ned.
“Of course not! Why would you think like that?” I asked in shock.
“I nee-ded to be sure. Because if you do anything stupid, that poor girl you both are fighting for will pay for it.” She said.
“I Know mother. And it has not been said in history. I am just doing what is right. I care for everyone.” I stated.
“Good. I will take care of Maya and Katika. This mustn’t get to your father.” She said and we nodded.
“Thank you mother.” We chorused and we stood up walking out of Mother’s chamber.
Hana breathed out as we walked down the hallway.
“Don’t worry Arjun. They won’t lay a finger on her again.” She said looking at me.
“You should give that reas-surance to Akira and yourself.” I said and she smiled.
“If you lie to everyone in this Palace, you can’t lie to me. Because we are closer than for me not to know how you feel about Akira.” She whispered and I looked at around to see if anyone was coming.
“Hana what nonsense are you saying? Why would I have feelings for a maid?” I asked in denial.
“Can’t you?” She asked and I shook my head.
“Of course not! It’s Absurd. Pity is different from feelings. I just pity them for what my father did to them nothing more.” I lied confidently.
“Wow. I never thought it that way. Since the first day you saw her, I saw how obsessed you were with her. Her name, her presence, I saw something different in your actions and eyes.”
“But if you insist. It’s okay. It’s better for both of you.” She said ki-ssing my cheeks before walking into her door.
I stood in front of her door for some seconds without moving. I then left her door and headed to mine.
I walked into my chamber, and my men helped me remove my apparel.
I was left in my inner robe, and I walked to the table, drew out my drawer and picked up my dairy.
I opened it to the next blank page and began to write.
Dear Dairy,
It’s been long I wrote told you about me. That’s because there was actually something special going on in my life at that time.
But now, I think I have something to share. After the annoying fight and method for father to be the most powerful ruler in Indonesia, I met this girl.
She is very beautiful and what saddens my heart is that she is part of my father’s captive. My Sister’s maid to be more precise.
Since the first day I saw her, I was lost in her beauty and innocence. She looked so innocent that it really got my attention.
I wish I could flow with the way I feel, getting to know her more. Telling her it’s okay to be scared, but I can’t.
Not after the annoying rule father placed down about Royals and maids.
Today Hana and I stood up for Akira like never before, and it felt great. Though mother and Hana are suspecting if I have feelings for her.
I denied it immediately though it was so painful doing so. I know my saying yes to their questions will get Akira killes and that is the very last thing I want for her.
So I have made my decision, I have to get rid of these feelings. Pretend to hate her if possible, and never give her any more attention.
This is the only way I won’t get her killed. I hope I can do these things. All this Kinda suc-ks.
I have to go now Diary, promise to tell you more later. Bye.
TBC…..
In as much as I really want Akira safe ?
It hurts to see Arjun make this kind of decision ???
Or guys is there anything self he can do?? Other than killing the feelings??
