Feeling restless I sat on my bed and started to think about my husband and Manu. Morning came with beautiful spectacular clouds that brought an amazing prospect to the ambient.As usual I set myself ready for the day. I had a lot in mind that I wanted to do. I also needed to go back to Anu's castle since I didn't see my son last night. I thought that maybe it's because I was in a hurry to return to Mani whom I had left alone in the room at night.Reaching the ground floor I found someone seated quietly with his face covered up that I couldn't see it. "Hello sir. Who are you and what brings you here this early morning?"I asked as my heart pounded with a strong and fast rhythm. "What's happening with me. Why am I feeling this way all of a sudden?"I asked myself."I am..."he was about to say something when everyone came in the room. "Who's that gentleman and why's his face covered up? How can we help you sir?"father interrupted. Of course he had to since he was a concerned king who val
"What are you doing mother? Why are you doing this?"Mani asked."What can't you see that am just trying to kill myself.""But why. I used to think that you always wanted me to get all the answers to my questions and here you're stopping dad from answering them. I can't seem to understand what's going on."he said."You won't understand anything please. You're still young to question your father like how you're doing."I scolded him."Am sorry mother, please forgive me.""Alright then I forgive you my child."I placed a kiss on his forehead and he smiled."Alright alright. Why did you teleport direct from London to this place? Are there any problems?"father broke the silence."No father, there isn't any problem. Actually I came here to give you something in person.""And what's that?""Here you go."he said handing over something that looked like a card to father."What's this?"father asked before turning it around."Well... My family and I are planning a wedding for me and my fiance. I th
"What are you even saying. I don't understand you.""Stop fooling yourself because I know everything. I know how you went to my house and stole my son and now you're calling him Mani instead of Manu."he said coldly."T-this means my Manu got missing."I breathed. "But who could have done so, Mike was the only one who was after their lives but he isn't alive anymore. I killed him with my own hands in cold blood, could it be possible that he came back to life and he's now taking his revenge? But no, he can't come back since I killed him with the sword that was dipped in the serpent's venom first."I breathed in realization. "What if Miss Cucu got him kidnapped and maybe harmed him out of anger that she couldn't be with Anu? No, she isn't capable of doing such a thing. Then who could take him away and why."I was losing it that I didn't even realize that I had grabbed Anu's shirt's collar as I threatened " if I fail to find my son, you'll face the other side of me which is the motherly sid
I just wanted to let it go but as I was planning to, I happened to overhear their conversation where mother-in-law stated that "I really want Artie out of my son's life for good, that's why am helping you. I just hope everything goes well as per our plan. I don't want anything to go wrong like last time."she said."Last time? What is she trying to mean? What's that 'last time' that she's talking about?"I wondered."Are you threatening me or something? Let me remind you that I know the big secret of yours that you're hiding from your son"the lady threatened."Unbelievable. They're behaving like kids. One hour as good friends and enemies in the next hour. But what's the secret she was talking about? And why did mother look scared when the lady talked about it?"I asked myself. I had to leave since I didn't want them to notice that I was there too.I didn't know why I was sweating so much. Their words kept summoning to my mind. "What secret does Anu's fiance mean? I have to find out about
I started to get worried about Mani when night came and he hadn't returned home yet. "What's taking him so long to come back?"I worried. Everybody had his dinner and went to sleep, others gathered outside as usual to have fun and enjoy their drinks with some dance. I walked back and forth waiting for my son to come but in vain. Still wondering what could have happened to him I saw Anu coming towards me. I knew he would ask for his son so I had to save myself not to let him come close to me. "I should run to my room."I thought and so I did. Reaching in my room I switched off the lights and pretended to be sleeping. Meanwhile Anu started to look for me the moment I disappeared from his sight. "Where did she go and why did she run away? Something's not right."he thought. Walking around looking at everyone's face, he didn't see me.After some time I heard a knock on the door. "Who's it?" I asked. My heart was telling me it was my son Mani while my mind said something else, it was tellin
"I only came to save you and now that father's gone, I will go to gather enough proof."he said."We're very late because the wedding is tomorrow.""Don't worry mother, Manu and I will do our best to stop it from happening that I promise you."he assured me."Thanks my dear."I embraced him with a hug.Morning came with beautiful sounds of the singing birds from the jungle and a heart thrilling scent from the flower garden.My heart skipped a beat when I realized that it was indeed morning. "Oh Lord, please don't take Anu away from me and his child. Give me the courage to tell him the truth about his parents and don't let anything stop Mani from coming. It's very important for him to get here on time."I prayed.( A knock on the door), "who's it?"I asked."It's me."a familiar voice replied. It was Cucu's."What brought you here?"I asked."Will you let me in or I should force myself in?"she mocked.I didn't want to create problems for myself so I got the door for her."Why did you come her
"What are you saying? How could I do something like this?"he asked."But you've done it. Are you trying to say that I called you from your room and brought you here? I guess Agie knows what really happened, you can ask her. Agie dear, tell your husband what you just saw. Tell us dear...""Don't pretend as if you were out of your mind Anu. It's obvious that you don't love me but you shouldn't have betrayed me like this on my wedding day. I mean... how could you?"she said crying."Are you blaming me for what happened too? Don't you trust me?"Anu looked defeated."Of course she doesn't because someone who trusts you would never think of questioning you and here she's doing so, do you want some more proof for that?"I intervened. "It's all your fault. You have crossed your limits today, you've made me realize that marrying you was a huge mistake I have ever made. Am the one who brought you to this house but today, right this moment, am ousting you from this house and my life as well. Am br
**ANU** 😢"What! There's a whole lot of things that I would forgive but I just can't take a liar. I just hate it when someone tries to stab me in the back.. I hate it.. Father.. how... I could you do that to me? Why father why?? I brought my son to you thinking that you looked up at him as your own, I thought that you would shower him with all of your love and that you'll keep him safe in my absence.. but you... you just prayed that I should leave so you could kill him. I always fought the world for the two of you, I treated you like heaven by making you my first priority. I could kill whoever said ill about you. I always thought that you wish me good but I was wrong.. you people never cared about me. At least you should've killed me instead of my son. You didn't just kill him, you killed me too. I can't live after this betrayal. Imagine killing my son, my own flesh and blood just for powers. Did I ever ask you for extra powers? Can't humans become leaders despite having no powers?
