Pregnant For The Royal Prince

BOTH Amaya and his sister flinched on seeing the palace guard, they were like cats on hit bricks, their hairs stood on end.

How come? How had he entered without their knowledge, but Davida had looked out once and didn’t see anyone.

“Greetings from the palace”, the guard said bowing slightly, and stood straight instantly, staring into space as he waited for their response.

“Greetings”, Amaya replied, trying to cover up his fears.

“Her Royal Majesty, the Queen has sent me to officially announce to you the return of His Grace, Prince Raghav, who arrived yesterday, thank you”, he spoke so clear like an orator, bowed and left.

The two stood still staring at each other with mouth agape, neither of them spoke a word nor moved a thing, they were just so speechless.

The screeching sound of the car with which the guard had used in coming jolted them back to reality.

“Wa… was that really a palace guard?” Davida stuttered with a shaky voice.

Amaya sighed deeply and ran his hands through his hair.

“I wonder when he entered the compound”, he said, looking at the retreating figure of the car.

“Yo, my greatest fear.”.

“He didn’t hear a thing”, Amaya interrupted.

Davida looked intently at him.

“Are you sure? You were so loud and anyone could have heard your chattering”.

“I said he heard nothing”, he replied, shouting.

“There you go again”, she clapped her hands, “shouting”.

He hissed.

“Whatever, you heard the info, the Prince is back”, he began walking away.

“Seriously, Aunt should have invited us over”, her shoulders fell.

Amaya stopped walking and turned to her.

“We shouldn’t be talking about that now, what we should be bothered about is the next thing to do, since the abduction didn’t work out, we need to figure out something else… and figure it out fast”.

“Sure, that is the spirit”, she stood up.

He simpered and nodded.

“You know what to do Davida, I will be trying out my best as well”, he turned to continue walking away, “I promised my late mom something, and that I must accomplish”, he smirked and walked out.

“Yes brother, you must”, she walked out too.

Vidya ran into the kitchen, panting, her eyes fixed on her phone as she went.

“Mom… mom”, she called, shouting.

“Yeees”, came the reply.

“Oh mom, there you are”, she halted, smiling as she looked up from her phone.

Roshan together with the maid were busy chuckling some pineapples.

“What is the matter?”

“Mom, the Prince is back”.

“I know that”, came the reply.

Vidya flinched.

“Gosh! mom, how did you get to know?” She chuckled.

Roshan turned to her.

“I am your mother Vidya, I should know things before you”.

She rolled her eyes.

“I… thought the Queen informed you”.

“Oh yeah, she officially did”.

Vidya jumped and clapped her hands.

“Oh my goodness! Meaning our invite is on the way then?”Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

“Sure”, she nodded.

“Oh my goodness! Mother, I really can’t wait”, she walked up to her mother and embraced her.

Roshan laughed.

“Don’t let me chop your skin off, I’m busy”, she said, laughing.

She rolled her eyes.

“Mm, whatever, I’m just so happy. Finally, the Prince is back”, she heaved a sigh of relief.

“Back for you”.

“Oh yes momma”, she waved her left hand, tucking her hair behind her ear and dabbing her eyes.

“Will you help with the chopping of the veggies please?” Roshan said.

“Oh no mummy”, she shook her head, pouting.

“I don’t really wanna soil my manicure, I just got them fixed you know”.

The maid instantly pulled up a disgust look at Vidya and she frowned.

“You idiot, why looking at me like that?” She asked walking up to her.

Roshan immediately envisaged what would happen next and made to savage the situation.

“Vidya please, it is enough”, she thundered, “don’t bother about the veggies, the maid would do that”.

Vidya hissed and turned, then walked out of the kitchen.

She saw her mother sitting on the couch and knitting, she walked up to her.

“Hi mum”, she greeted.

“Hi, how was your day? And how is Zaina?” Selena asked without looking up from her knitting.

“All good”, she flopped down on the couch beside her mother.

“I see”.

“The Prince is back mom”, she reeled out.

“What!” Selena exclaimed, looking up from her knitting.

Rina smiled nodding.

“He is back, Zaina’s dad confirmed it while I was at her house”.

Selena shook her head smiling, as she turned back to her work.

“That’s good news”, she suddenly stopped, “how I wish Siddharth would one day return home like this”.

Rina’s countenance changed.

“Me too, but I have this feeling he gonna be back, though not now, but he surely gonna be back”.

“He better do”, she sighed and continued knitting.

“He will. What you knitting?” She diverged looking intently at the work in her hands.

“Just a purse”.

“For?”

“Myself”, they laughed. “Anyway I’m just trying to keep myself busy”.

Rina nodded.

“I see. My God I’m famished”, she got up, “is there food momma?” She began walking towards the kitchen.

“Whatever ya see there, ya eat”, came the reply.

She smiled.

“If I see octopus?”

“Eat”.

She laughed and dashed into the kitchen.
