DITYA
The swinging opening of the door was what woke me. I flickered my eyelids open as Insia, my maid from Pecan walked in.
She bent and arranged my flops where I could easily slip my legs into it. "Morning princess" she greeted as I sat up.
"What am I doing today?" I asked ignoring her greetings.
"You will be meeting with the new maids that are already assigned to serve you"
"Then?"
"I believe you are supposed to take a walk with your betrothed before noon"
I scoffed. "Seems like we didn't get off on the right foot but a walk can iron things out... Right?" I asked her.
She bowed slightly. "Yes, princess"
"Good..." I paused. "Insia.... I need you to do something for me"
"Anything for you princess"
I smiled and slipped my legs into my flops.

SARAFINA It was almost nighttime when we got back. Pooja had actually taken us to a dance club. And the crazy girl had actually forced us to perform our native dancing. It was fun though especially because I was able to tell Zella about my life in the palace, though I skipped the part of I and Jamal. But still she was happy that I was now free from punishment and her insane mother. -like she put it- "You should get going now, Zella" I said to Zella when we already halfway to the palace. She halted and Pooja and I did the same."where exactly" she asked with a scoff. I gaped at her in surprise. "What do you mean?" I asked. "I have no where to go" she replied shrugging. Like seriously? She was acting so carefree as if she had not just dropped an huge bomb in words. "What are you saying Zells?" I blinked rap

JAMAL After I left Ditya, I made my way to the maid working area, hoping to see Sarafina. It has been two days since I last saw her and I was starting to forget how I feel anytime I do. Ditya's arrival has actually made me understand two things — I still can't feel which means my curse has not been broken and staying with Sarafina can be a temporary cure to my curse. I got to the working area and my eyes scanned the workers, they were all busy with their various works that they didn't notice me. I cleared my throat to draw attention. They turned to me subsequently. They all moved back, bowing their head in courtesy. Some trembling visibly. "Where is Sarafina" I asked the maiden closer to me. "Sarafina?" She asked with a raised brow. "I don't repeat myself" I replied her curtly. "Sorry my prince" she said, shifting back and bowing her

﹏﹏﹏﹏SARAFINA.The force of the slap sent me flying to the ground in no time. I blinked rapidly as tears stung my eyes. She came at me again and I closed my eyes expecting the hit but I got none.I peeked through the corner of my eyes and saw Jamal holding her hands up, his eyes a dangerous gleam of fiery red."One more hit on her and you might not live to see the setting of the sun" Jamal said and I gasped."Jamal!!" Ditya screamed angrily as she freed her hands from his grip and moved back. I stood up from the ground and silently tried to leave."Don't move an inch, Sarafina" Jamal said without looking at me. I stopped, how did he know?. "He grabbed me and with one last glare at Ditya, he pulled me out of her chambers." Jamal, Jamal wait" I said with an hysterical edge to my voice as he kept pulling me out not minding the prying eyes of the palace workers."Sarafina, just keep quiet and follow me" he repl

﹏﹏﹏﹏ SARAFINA. I can't explain the sudden change of the atmosphere. I can't explain how the air suddenly becomes so thick with desire. I don't even understand how this is happening. One minute Jamal is telling how he can't feel, how he has been cursed his entire life... And then like a flash he is kissing me like is life depended on it, and stupidly enough... I'm kissing him back. Yes —Stupidly enough... Because no matter how much this kiss affects me. No matter the emotions it stirs up inside me No matter the realization dawning on me now, that I might be in love with him. That I am so foolish enough to have fallen for Prince Jamal. I have to remember that he is no least affected, because Jamal can't feel. Jamal is cursed and he can't even understand my em

I close my eyes as I try to catch my breath, placing my hands on my knee as I do so.I stand upright after some seconds, running my hands through my hair I glance around and my eyes catch Pooja coming my way. "And here is the princess' maiden" she drawled sarcastically as she got to me.I laughed."Pray tell me dear friend, how was your first day with our noble princess" she continued.I laughed again. "You are an hopeless case" I tell her. She flicked her hair to the back dramatically and patted me."So they say, so they say" she replied me. I shake my head at and start walking inside, but Pooja grab my hands and start to study my face. I move back immediately, swatting her hand away."Pooja what is it again?" I asked her. She looked around and then whispers to my ear. "You look you just got kissed".My eyes widen in surprise and I immediately to

It is too late to regret right? Especially when the deed has been done. But Mila is regretting now, especially when she knows that someone like Naja does not deserve the death that awaited her.As she walked around the palace ground, her eyes sighted Jamal running towards the maid quarters. His stance looked frantic. What is he looking for? She grabbed up her gown and ran to him."Jamal!!" She called out and he stopped without facing her."Jamal" she called again, turning him to face her, only for her to receive the greatest shock of her life.Jamal's face is wet, wet with tears...

﹏﹏﹏﹏SARAFINA.Fearfully, I follow the palace guard with Pooja trailing behind me. I am scared because I don't know what to expect. Why am I being called? Does she know I am the Sheba? If she does, how am I going to save Jamal?We get to the throne room and we enter inside. The guards stop Pooja from entering inside. The first thing I notice as we enter inside is Jamal laying sprawled on a mat. Panic grips me and I momentarily forget where I am as I rush to his side."Jamal!" I call, shaking him slightly... He does not answer."Jamal" I call yet again but there is no reply.I come back to my senses when I hear the queen say. "He is unconscious". I spring up from beside him and move back, bowing repeatedly to the queen as I do so."

Fury clouds my thoughts as I stare at her."You killed my Ammi" I said and stood up, my voice hoarse from tears. She moves back fear evident in her eyes."No Sarafina.. Don't think like that...
