The order

Gilan's POV.

I wake up and it's already nighttime. I cannot believe I slept for such a long time. I was so tired, and I did not realize that time had moved so fast.

“My prince can I enter?” I hear one of the palace maids say.

“Yes, come in.” I say, and I see the door opening and she walks inside.

“The food is ready. Your parents are calling you so you can have dinner with them.” She says.

“Ok, tell them that I will join them soon. Let me freshen up first.” I say as I quickly get up from my bed and I rush to the bathroom.

After I am done, I slowly walk to the dining area. I find my parents waiting for me. None of them had touched their food. I somehow felt sorry for them. I mean, they were just seated there waiting for me to arrive.

“Mom, dad. Why are you not eating yet?" I find myself saying to them.

“We have something to say to you, that is why we are waiting for you.” My mother says. I could see that she was not happy, and it was obvious what she wanted to say to me was so important.

“Ok, I am listening. Tell me.” I say as I sit down on the chair as I start to serve my food. I was starving. And the food on the table was so appetizing. I wanted to hungrily eat it.

“It's about Amara.” My mother says and I am taken a back.

I thought I was done with this topic called Amara, but here I was back again.

“What has Amara done, mother?” I ask her.

Amara was the last person I wanted to hear and talk about right now. It was over for us.

“What did you tell her when she came in the palace to check up on you?” My mother asks. I could see anger burning inside of her.

“I just told her the truth, mother. Our relationship is over and there is no way I will get back together with her.” I say as calmly as I could.

“You will call her and tell her that all that was a misunderstanding. Amara will be the princess of this land and there is nothing you can do about that. So it's better if you start loving her. We are done with all the formalities already, so there is no going back on this, my son.” My mother says, and I am shocked.

“What do you mean, you are done with all the formalities.” I ask.

“Amara's parents had already agreed to this marriage. So the only thing left is a wedding to make things official between the two of you.” My mother says.

“Well, I am sorry mother, but I cannot marry her. I don't love her and that is final. I'm not concerned with the formalities. How can you make such a decision while I was not around? You did not even care about my feelings, so I will not care about yours either mother. I will not talk about this topic ever again." I say in anger and I leave the dining table.

“Come back here Gilan. I am not done talking to you yet.” I hear my mother shouting at me, but I pretend not to hear her. I rush into my bedroom and I take my phone and my car keys. I needed to take some fresh air. I felt like the palace was already beginning to suffocate me. I wonder why they were forcing me to do something I did not want.

I get out of my room, lock up the door and I head outside the palace. It was night, but I just wanted to head out to have some fresh air.

“My prince. Where are you going? It's nighttime already.” I hear James saying in shock.

“Go and rest James, I will drive myself don't worry.” I say to him. He looked tired, and I could see that he wanted to rest so badly. So I decide to just let him go and rest. There was no need of disturbing him. I am sure I will be fine.

“Take care my prince. Good night.” James says to me. I know he was being sincere. He has always loved me so much, and I was grateful for that.

“I will. Have a good night.” I say as I open the car door and I enter inside. It was still early. I decide to grab some few drinks to cool off my head. So I start driving towards the nearest bar.

* * * * * * * *

After five minutes of driving, I locate this small bar and I decide to stop there. It was small but a little fancy. I am sure the owner is struggling so much to keep this place so neat. It was beautiful.

I enter, and I sit on the chair as I wait to be served.

My head was filled with so much stress. I just don't know what I will do to stop Amara from loving me. I just don't need her in my life. What we had was in the past, and I am not interested in the past anymore. I want to continue with my life away from her. I hope she gives me that opportunity. I hope she just gives up on me. I don't need her.

After I am done with my drink, I leave the bar. It was now running late, and I know it will not be good for me if someone spots me. I mean I am a prince and this place doesn't suit me at all. It was so tiny.

I take my keys and I head to my car. Thanks to the drinks, I felt so much better now.

I enter my car and I start driving back home. I just had some few drinks, but I felt so tipsy. I just hope I will arrive home unharmed.
