Groomed for Kahuna

Failed Plan

kahuna sat listening to his father dictate his schedule to him. Somewhere along the way he started to daydream about what it would be like to just be free for the day to do as he wished. "You think that by giving the silent treatment I will bend to your will like your mother?!" Turro said hitting his fist on the desk. His out burst jerked Kahuna out if his thoughts. Because he was unsure of what was just said he didn't respond to him. "You will pick a wife or I will chise one for you. I will not sir back and watch my legacy go down the drain, because my spoiled son refuses to handle his responsibilities." Kahuna gave his father a stone face. He never asked to be born into this family. Yes he was greatful that he had a good comfortable like, however his father treated him like a product instead of a son. The was a soft knock at the door. Both turned to stare at it. Turro was already aware of who it was, he could since her presence anywhere from miles away. "Johanna" Turro said in response to her knocking. "Yes my king. May I enter?" Kahuna saw the hard lines in his father's face smooth out and he sighed. "You may." She didn't wait a second before turning the knob and rushing in. She already knew her son was inside and what the conversation consisted of. It was unusual for the wife to sit and listen to discussions like this, so she had to come up with a plan to interrupt. "I thought you could you would like refreshments." She said nonchalantly gesturing to one of her husband's concubines to bring the tray of coffee and muffins in. The young woman nodded addressing everyone in the room before placing the tray on the desk in front of Turro. "My king." She bowed respectfully before leaving back out as quickly as she came. Johanna walked around the desk and stood behind her husband gently massaging his shoulders. Turro took a sip of his coffee, which was made to perfection as usual. He placed on hand over his wife busy hands."Johanna. I know what it is that you're doing." He said gently and tugged at her hand so that she would come and stand beside him. He put one arm around her waist and pulled her to him. "As much as I enjoy you pampering me....this conversation is way overdue and you know full well our son must start to take his responsibilities seriously." He gently scolded her. Her bottom lip pouted as she looked down to him. "I would never try to interfere in your business matters, however this is also family related. I just feel he should have a choice and maybe he will be as lucky as you and I." Turro released her waist and ran his hands through his hair. "I will give him until his next birthday to make a decision. After that he forfeits hits right to choose and I will arrange a woman that will be suitable for the position." Although Turro responded to his wife, he was looking directly at Kahuna.

"John are you sure you can create enough of a distraction that I can have enough time to get what I need?" He turned to Jei at simply nodded. "I've been watching them shop for the king for awhile now. It's always the same routine. They only have one guard, because they feel like nobody would be fool enough to steal from the king." Jei watched the truck that was full of food and all sorts of goods that the king used personally for the week. The amount of food in that truck was enough to feed him and his family for atleast a month. Since didn't have the heart to tell his pregnant wife that he lost his job last week, so he had been doing any and everything he could to provide for his family so she wouldn't stress. "Ok, Khali will be in that store for about 15 minutes, by the time she comes out I should have everything loaded in the trunk." Jei said thinking outloud. As they had planned out John went to distract the security guard and when Jei saw the area was clear he made his way to the truck quickly opening the back doors. To his surprise, there were four women sitting in the back. They all began to scream for help because they didn't recognize the man standing there. Jei slammed the doors closed,but when he turned to leave, he ran right into Kahuna. "What are doing interfering in my business?" Kahuna asked him with his chest puffed out. The body guard rushed to Kahuna side "How dare you approach the prince without permission." Unfortunately for Jei this shopping trip was different because Johanna insisted she needed to hand pick some things. Kahuna had decided to come along with his mother so that he could get to experience a somewhat normal encounter of shopping for himself. If it weren't for that, he probably would have been able to slip away without being caught. "Jei?!" They all turned around hearing a woman scream the name in hysterics. "Love, stay there." Jei told his wife. "It's all just a misunderstanding that were getting sorted out now." He lied to keep her calm, praying silently that no one say anything different to dispute his story. Johanna saw he son staring with with his mouth half open as if he had fallen in love. She turned to see where his attention was it shocked her. Kahuna was looking at the pregnant woman that had just called to the man they were questioning. Although Johanna could say she was very beautiful, there was no way that could work because his wife would have to be a virgin and apparently this woman was not. "Take him into custody." Johanna told her guard. Even though she was giving out instructions to handle the situation her attention never left the fact that her sons eyes never left the pregnant woman. "Oh my queen...please, I don't know what it is that my husband has done, but I assure you he's a hardworking man that just trys his best to provide for our growing family." Khali said now standing in front of Johanna. she reached for the queens hand and kissed the back of it bowing to show her respect. Then Khali turned to Kahuna unaware that he had been staring at her the whole time. and grabbed his hands and kissed them as well, bowing him. "Please show my husband mercy, for my children's sake." She pleaded, but did not let Kahunas hand go. The queen was quiet and watched as her son smiled warmly at the woman and reached up to caress the side of her face. "Please..don't cry. Someone as beautiful as you should never have to shed a tear unless it's from overwhelming happiness." Kahuna couldn't explain it, but he just felt like he needed to touch her skin to see if it was as smooth as it looked. Johanna's frown that was on her face watching her sons strange behavior turned into a smile as an idea hit her. "Enough. Since she wants to vouch for her husband she can go into custody as well and be questioned with him." Kahuna finally came to senses and let go of the beautiful woman whose hand he was holding and caressing her face while tears streamed out her eyes. "Mother, how can you say that. She's pregnant for heavens sake." Despite his protests the guards had already began to put handcuffs on the woman. "Son, this is not the type of thing that should happen in public. we will discuss this more when we're in private." Kahuna rushed over to the guard that was arresting Khali "If any harm comes to her or her child I will see to it myself that your last breath will be drawn in agony." Kahuna had no idea why, but he felt protective over that woman and she was so beautiful it was shocking to him.
