THE QUEEN'S HUBBY, MY LOVE

chapter 2

My back was paining,and by whole body was heavy ,my eyes were heavy I could not open my eyes ,my hands and legs were the heaviest of all. I wanted to wake up but I couldn't, slowly my eyes started opening. " was it a must for you to get water at late nights,we don't even Know if you could have been alive or not" ,mama grumbled,just after mama speaking I felt a bit of energy in my body, everything that happened last night flashed into my mind, I could remember the sounds of the birds, swinging of the trees,the sounds of the footsteps, without forgetting my saviour's body, only after remembering everything I muttered, "where is he","who, where" mama grumbled again, "and why he,so you didn't go to get water but meet a he"

ooh my gosh what long

with woman ,why is she rushing into such stuffs,he saved me,did she want my saviour to be a she,it's better a man anyways

"I'm talking to you little ,who is that he , eeeeeeeh,say it now before I loose my temper",mama shouted her lungs out, "mama , please listen ,he is just nothing of what you are thinking about" I was interrupted by mom "then he is like what that I don't think about","okay , sit here I will tell you ",I spoke to her gently as I asked her to sit next to me on the bed. I told mama the whole story and everything that happened,she was in a really shock ,she could not believe her youngest daughter had been in so much frightening last night ,she was glad that man was there to save her, then she hugged me very tightly ,she hugged me to the extent that she did not want to let go off me forever,we hugged with our eyes tearing softly then she let go as she rubbed her tears with her fingers and rubbed mine with her thumbs while she said all she had in her heart,"don't repeat it my little princess ,just don't fetch water again, I can't loose you ,my baby" ,this was my first time seeing my mom in this situation ,I always knew my angrily looking mom,just as I looked at her then I remembered the guy that saved me, "mama then where is he","this isn't a question to ask me but yourself ,we found nobody ,but you laying on the grassy bush,and what kind of a guy is he,he could have found home for you,come get your breakfast"mama said as she went out of my room. I did not like mama saying bad staffs about my saviour like what kind of guy is he,he is a guy that every girl would have fallen for,that body ugh I wish I saw him again.

The day went smoothly as everyone cared about me , frankly speaking I liked their care , I was not allowed to do anything ,I even wished everything to be like this for more day or even more years . I liked the way my sister showered me with love that I never received from her since my birth as she did not like it having a youngie.

Days passed by and I was back at my duties ,but this time mama was strict on fetching water very early and coming back earlier too. it was the third day of the week ,just usually mama woke me up at six thirty and had to pass by Charlotte's home for we could go together to the well, we walked all the way making stories ,I surely enjoyed her company we reached the well but the situation was not fine ,there were palace guards at the well commanding everybody to wait till when the palace servants have to finish getting water ,the villagers only mummered against themselves but could not do anything, some villagers were in lots of pain as they had been beaten hardly by the palace guards , this situation gave me pain ,my mind was now upset ,I felt my throat burning ,anger was conquering me and I kept my mom's new pots aside I would not allow more damage to my Mama's pots. " I don't really know what to do ,but can't keep this in my heart ,if I don't utter a word to these palace people I will live regretting ,hope I'm doing the best thing",I spoke to my self silently as I walked towards the guards, I could hear Charlotte Calling me in low tone but I was not in need of anyone's advice at the time , finally I was in front of the officer,by the looks I'm sure he was there leader, to say the chief officer of security ,"what can I help you with miss"he said softly as he looked at me directly into my eyes."oops these cute eyes,I can't even look at him directly, Aileen what brought you here"I said to myself silently, I cleared my throat and allowed confindence to flow all over me as I spoke grumbly, "what do you palace people take your self for, to say you are only a guard then when do the royals take themselves for ,God hah,we need water as they need water ,and all these tanks ,the well will dry"I said as I raised my voice for every word I spoke ,but seriously this officer only kept listening without uttering any word ,and the saddest story ,he was looking directly into my eyes and all I did is speaking at him as I looked at the sides never having a direct eye contact with him "it is like he has noticed my forged confidence ,is he enjoying me ,how embarrassing", I spoke silently in my heart. Then there was his word "let's do our work miss",and he ordered the servants and other guards to place the tanks in the cargos ,as I noticed that the palace servants had finished to pump water and the villagers were now making a qeue . The officer entered the cargo with some guards as some walked with the other servants that carried pots. I eyed the officer as he entered the cargo, he was this muscular bodied guy ,with blue eyes and long nose ,he had a blonde hair , generally he was this handsome man ,but his acts never impressed me ,and the bad side he was an officer these people were considered cruel .we pumped water into our pots and carried them back home, the day was tiresome and I was late,just this time I was ready for the beatings .

I reached home and here was my mother so worried , before she could spit anything out of her mouth I intervened ,"It is not my fault that I'm late ,the palace people were there with their big tanks ,thus we had to wait "I said tirelessly ,"I Know ",she answered , I looked at her as she said "your papa has sent a message,to us ,work is really tough at the palace due to insufficient of water ,thus there is no food for the servants ", I knew what was the next word ,I had to take my dad's lunch all the way to the palace,I had no way but accept , I took the food wholeheartedly as my dad was my favourite in the family.

Reaching the palace , there were two huge gates , with about four guards at the front , I basically hated guards , I took some few steps forward and I was now in front of one of the guards before I could speak anything the guards bluttered "what can I help you with",his talking was not welcoming but had to answer back,"I brought food to my dad,he is a servant here and I was told there is shortage of water at the palace ,thus we had to cook for our families that worked here ,he works here as a gurdener and he is called Sevelin" ,I spoke everything in a paragraph not wanting to be questioned. He went some meters away towards the other guards ,they talked in a whisper ,then one of them went to the other side of the palace jogging ,"wait a little "the other guard told me. I waited for about five minutes ,when I saw the heavy black boots that looked familiar coming to our side, i raised my eyes slowly towards the guy ,it was the officer back at the well, he came directly to the guard asking "what was the servant's name again" "Severin " he answered ,"note the name and direct the lady to where she has to take the lunch", as he turned back at me I tried my level best to cover my face with my dark hair ,I would feel embarrassed if he recognized me. He went back to the other side of the palace ,I gently returned my hair back to it's place just stroking some of it behind my ear. I was given direction to where I could take the food but ,the lefts and rights were a lot,and still hard to remember in my small head.

I just did not want to ask the guards to repeat ,I was already fade up with standing there, the wide gates ware opened and I entered through , looking at the palace ,I wished to go back to the guards and ask the directions once again but I was already late the gates were already closed, and just in front of me the palace was a huge place than I thought, I gave my self several bangings on my head ,trying to remember what was the first direction, "first head to your right" I remembered ,and went to the right and found a large area filled with flowers,it was a beautiful place I had never seen in my eyes ,then this thought was in my mind "just walk through the garden ,Aileen,it's just for about five minutes ,it's your golden chance ,no one is looking, just walk around " ,here I was now walking around the garden,my thoughts gave me only five minutes ,but I was giving my self more time ,just staring at the flowers as I walked all the way all over the garden , this place was extremely beautiful and I was now so excited till when ,I bang my head on something like a rock but this was not a rock but someone's chest,"s**t",I grumbled as I saw the black boots down the ground ,just near my small feet ,I slowly moved my head upward to see which creature was this, I looked from the boot towards his face, here my eyes hit into this very person's face, it was a mask.
