Amol's PovWe were happy again. Life turned out to be peaceful and beautiful like Gurans. We were having breakfast when Zar entered. I knew what he came for. "Amol," he said as he entered.We all got up out of respect for him but he showed his hand for us to sit. He sat on a chair in front of me and our new maid, Bindhya came with a plate of food for Zar. She was a vampire and younger than us. Maybe in her late teens. She was very young so I had refused to give her any work but she insisted that she was 18+ and an adult. I wanted to refuse again but Rima asked me to take her in so I did. She was a very good cook. After we were done eating, we sat in the living room. "I know why you are here," I said to Zar before he could speak."The throne can't be left there without the king," Zar said."I know,""Then what are you waiting for?" he asked."I don't want to be the king...." I said and everyone looked at me at once. Gurans slowly placed her hand on mine and squeezed a little. "When my
* 15 months later *I was in my office when I heard a knock on the door. It had been almost five months since I somehow managed to control myself and the pain inside me. Twenty-four hours I would be in the office and make myself busy so I don't have to think of her and stop myself from feeling the pain of her leaving me. I looked at the door and it was Rima."Hello," she said and I turned my eyes back to my laptop."Let's eat breakfast together," she walked inside. It was her everyday routine, to wake up and come to annoy me by asking me to eat with her. Rima was now a vampire. She successfully turned again and was annoying like always. She sat on the chair but I ignored her."Come on, please," she almost begged but I acted like she wasn't there."Until when?" She questioned. I wanted to tell her until death came to me but it wasn't going to come cause I was a vampire. People talk about how they wanna go to heaven or how somebody will go to hell for their sins but for me, this lif
She looked at me and then looked at her friends. I waited for her to answer."We came here to trek," the guy came forward."So what are you doing here alone?" Gurans asked me instead of replying to my question.I shrugged "Wanted to be alone," still not taking eyes off her."Alone?" The girl asked. She seemed shocked.I nodded."Alone in this forest?" Gurans asked looking around and I almost laughed looking at her face. I don't know why I wasn't angry. She always did this to me. Whenever she was with me no anger came to me. I was always calm and happy around her. I could not explain how happy I felt having her in front of me. The only thing that hurt was her not recognizing me or say refusing to recognize me."You can join us if you would like," the guy offered but I shook my head."Let me fill this bottle first," Gurans said walking towards the river and started to fill the water in the bottle. She came towards me drinking the water and then smiled at me."It tastes so good," she s
I got out of the car and looked at the palace where many workers were working. One of the guards came to pick my bag but I refused. As I walked inside the palace I forgot everything but my Gurans. I went straight to my room and it was all clean and back to how it used to be. I had told them to focus first on our room so they did as I had told them.I sat on the bed and looked around. I realized I can't live here without her. I got up and walked out. "I need this mansion back to its form in 2 days. I don't care how you do it or how many workers you need," I said and everyone gave me that how we gonna do it in two days look. I walked out of the mansion but Sanskrit stopped me."Amol, where are you going?""You can go back to the palace and help Rima in her work. I will be gone for a few days. Don't try to find me," Without waiting for him to speak, I left.I went towards where Gurans and her friends had gone. It took a day for me to find her and then I kept eye on her for a few days.
I started the engine and then we drove inside the forest towards our home. We were both silent and then she started to look around and gave me a confused look. I knew what was coming. "Where are we going?" She asked. "I told you, to my place,""No, stop the car," she said but I didn't."I said....,""Ok," I cut her off.I stopped and turned to look at her."Where are you taking me inside this forest?" She asked."I told you, to my place," "It's weird," she kept looking around."What do you think I am doing? Kidnapping you?""I changed my mind. I don't wanna go. Take me back," she said and I almost lost my mind.What does she mean by changed her mind?"You know that they are already at my house," "I don't care. I should have listened to Kusma. I.... Just take me back or let me go," she said but I didn't unlock the door."Sorry but I can't let you go," I said starting the engine. She gave me a look but I ignored her. I knew she gonna hate me after this but I didn't care."I am not g
Early in the morning on Saturday, I went to the bridge above the Bagmati river, which was fast and furious. Same as my heart, which was beating fast and furiously. It was the rainy season, and people were watching it from their houses. I guess they were enjoying it, but I was not. The thought of jumping in came to mind. I was tired of living this life where life was fucking me every day, and guess what? I was still a virgin. The thing about life is that it fucks even virgins without taking their virginity. I came down the bridge and taking a slow step, I went towards the river, thinking about life and why I was so frustrated. I always made the wrong decision. The people I knew were either getting a job, getting married, or becoming parents, and I was still here, not being able to make the right decisions, Just wondering where life would take me. I had to hear so many things at home about how I didn't even have a job. My parents hated me. They treated me like some kind of cursed chil
I waited curiously for her to say something, but her phone rang, and she excused herself. After 10 minutes, she came back to tell me that she had some work and would talk about it later. "Talk about what?" I thought. Yeah, probably she's going to say, "Look, girl, we saved your ass, so give us money and leave right now." I was somehow scared, but I nodded anyway. I went to my room and lay on the bed, waiting for sleep to come, but it didn't. I stared at the ceiling, and many thoughts ran through my mind. What if I have been kidnapped, or what if he is a monster? I saw his black eyes, so maybe he was a devil and he wanted my soul. No, no, no, I am so stupid. Why are these stupid thoughts crossing my mind? There is no such thing as the devil. Yeah, they just want money for saving my ass. I rolled my eyes, thinking about how money can make anyone do anything. After rolling from one side to another like 1,000 times, finally, sleep came. Later at night, somewhere, I heard the sound of th
I was looking outside the window. The scene was beautiful. I could see the garden and then the river and forest above it. It felt good here, even though I was quite frustrated at not being answered, but I didn't want to go back to my parent's house. They were so cruel to me. There, I was always depressed. They always found a way to taunt me, and from day to night I had to hear them say how pathetic I was, but I didn't want to stay here either. They were strangers, and I don't know their true intentions. Why do they even want me here? I mean, what could a girl like me give them? They are already so rich themselves. "Hey," I heard a voice that I recognized to be Rima's. I didn't bother to turn. There was nothing left to talk about because she had always refused to answer my questions. "O..key I will answer all the questions you have in your mind." I felt her coming toward me. I slowly looked at her, not believing it. "Come here, sit," she said, sitting on the bed and patting the side
