Time To Return

Time never stops for anyone, and this is one of the biggest harsh realities of life. Even though everything turned upside down, nature continued to follow its own rules and continued to grow.

Bella was standing in front of the window looking out when someone knocked on the door.

Bella answered softly," The door is open. Please come in"

Then an old man entered and respectfully said, "My queen the file is ready. Please check the file once."

Bella was still looking outside. The wind was blowing and it was raining heavily. Bella's hair was flying in the wind. Bella tucked the small hairs in front of her ear behind her ear and said, "How many times have I told you that there is no need to bring these files to me. You can check the files when they are ready. Then why do you keep bothering to bring the files here?" Bella looked at the old man and asked.

"Because this is your job. Your responsibility and I want you to learn to fulfill your duties properly. So that when I am not here in the future, you will not have any problems."

Hearing this, Bella smiled and said, "Even if I fulfill my duties successfully, I will need you for the rest of my life. I will not let you leave my side so easily. So do not dream of leaving my side."

The old man smiled softly at Bella's words and said, "It is my wish too, I will stay by my queen's side until the last day of my life. I want to help you. There is another I want to inform you. There is a festival tonight. If you participate in the festival, everyone will be very happy. I know you don't like participating in the festival, but I am still requesting you."

Bella's smile disappeared after hearing the old man's words. She sat down on her chair and looked at the old man and said, "I know why you are requesting me to participate in the festival because you want me to go in front of everyone so that the truth that I have hidden for five years comes out to everyone.

I know that this time the Eldera will participate in the festival as special guests. But I don't want this truth to come out in front of everyone. I want to take this truth to my grave. So please do not tell me to go there."

Hearing Bella's words, the old man said in a dissatisfied voice," But I don't want my queen to hide like this all her life. I want the truth to come out in front of everyone so that my queen can reach her own place. This is not your real place. Your real place is there. That throne where someone else is sitting in your place. That throne is yours, my queen. This is your kingdom.

You should seize your kingdom. Why would you let someone else rule your kingdom? Don't you think there is a special purpose behind your creation and you should fulfill that purpose? If you participate in tonight's festival just once, the elders will understand as soon as they see you that their queen has arrived.

Then you won't have to do anything else. Then you won't have to fight for the throne. The throne will come to you. Please send it to me and attend."

Bella then turned her face away and said, "But I don't want this throne. I don't want this kingdom. I don't want anything. I want to spend the rest of my life like this. I have no greed for the throne. I have no regrets that someone else is sitting on my throne. I have no desire to come in front of everyone"

Upon hearing Bella's words, the old man said again, "These words do not fit a queen's mouth. If the queen becomes weak, can her kingdom survive? A kingdom is strong on the confidence of the king or the queen. You know how weak its kingdom is without you. This kingdom has been eagerly waiting for your arrival for the past two hundred years. Your people need you desperately. You can't leave them alone like this."

Bella then spoke again to the old man, "You know very well what will happen when I come out in front of everyone. Another bloody war will break out, which I don't want. I don't want any war, I don't want any death. I don't have that strength anymore because I don't want to see dead bodies."

The old man then spoke to Bella, "Then what will happen to those bodies who gave their lives to protect your kingdom, who sacrificed their lives for its kingdom instead of you for the last 200 years.

They didn't have the responsibility to protect this kingdom, yet they protected this kingdom for you. What will happen to them? What will you answer them? Will you tell them that their great sacrifice has no value to you? Can you tell them that if someone destroys your kingdom, it doesn't matter to you?

Can you tell the people of your kingdom that even if they all die, their queen does not care about it? This entire kingdom is like a tree, and you are the root of this tree, and everyone else is a branch of this tree. No matter how alive and beautiful the branch is, when the root slowly starts to die, the whole tree slowly dies. Similarly, if you step back from your responsibility, then slowly its kingdom will be erased from the pages of history.

The people who have been praying for you for the last 200 years, who have sacrificed their lives, will be mixed with dust. If you really want to hide from everyone for the rest of your life, then I cannot be by your side. I want to be by my queen's side, not by a cowardly person. Your kingdom is waiting for you. Your people are waiting for you. You have to decide whether you will go to your people or leave them alone to die and hide."
