Chapter 113
Eliana sits in one position. She's quiet the whole time has everyone is busy doing something for her. They have brushed her hair, washed it, oiled it and trimmed it. She's looking like a really different person because of all the changes that has been taking place across behind and in front of her.
She really doesn't know how to feel about it all it happens so fast that even when she's overjoyed about the situation, she feels as if she doesn't deserve it. Like, she has not done enough to put herself into such a category. And no matter how many times she tells herself, that it wasn't about what she earned from it, she still felt as if there was something missing in every but of it.
The servants have crowded the room doing something and anything for her.They were filling a room with more clothes, jewelries and everything she never thought she could ever have. She's currently putting on a soft silky girl that hawks her figure and makes her feel beautiful.
Never did she think she was as beautiful as she sees herself being in the mirror right now. For the first time in her lives, she's seen a part of her that doesn't look like a serval yesterday that if anyone saw from my face they could tell that she scored and scrubbed pots and floors all day long.
But all of a sudden, she cannot see anything that countries and bring outside and it is almost a miracle. She did not see everything up there right in front of her. She feels as if there is a need for her to take a deep breath and try to understand her own life. She shows everyone has questions.
She does not know exactly what she able to put the prince between her fingers as it was. A question that many people ask about the situation just as the rumors and gossips were so easy to fly from one spot to another spot but she herself did not understand that she has coming to such a place and that is why she did a deep breath.
She stands up on her feet and the servants are so busy doing one thing to another that they didn't realize that she is moving around the room as she enters into the dressing room and closes the door behind.
He takes a deep breath at the window and she thinks about David. To think that he has done the exact same thing that his mother did. Perhaps, it's more than anything else in our life is quite a challenge.
And even if he wasn't trying to challenge his mother this was something that should not happen. Like what would people say? A union between a king and a servant girl, it was laughable for those who wanted to laugh about it. And it was a story that many felt it belonged inside the book locked in with somewhere else when no one would read it.
Should he not feel good about all of this especially because he could be married now because it felt that he had done something and it was his responsibility.
A change that which they have done. Eliana doesn't want him to feel the need to have to take responsibility of something that they did together. It was a symbiotic relationship and as much as she did, he did too. So she felt as if there was no need for all of this but then making a queen was something that was extravagant to be payment for what has happened between the both of them.
But still, she doesn't know what to say about it. She closes her eyes as she moves from one corner of the room to another thinking about how she would bring this this attention when surely won't that this was something that she should surely she know complain about being queen.
That was something that any girl in Southland would die for to have in our palms and yet she had been given. So what was this matter about thinking about it and also she takes a deep breath as she looks around the room searches for something so at least a vent her confusion all about.
She hears the masculine voice inside the room. She knows for sure that David is in the room. So, she takes a deep breath has she has him walk closer to the area of where she is. And he opens the door to find her standing and looking at her.
"Love, there you are…you look splendid." He says to her and she smiles. It is not necessarily a fake laughter but she pretend it's not something else that is different from the smile on her face.
He has invited himself into the room.
Are you ready? He says to her and she smiles slowly even when she isn't.
Is there a problem? He says to her and it is almost like he can read already. He can tell when there's something different about her already and when she wants to voice her opinion which she doesn't do normally.
You know, you can tell me anything right? I will never not listen to you. David says to her and she nods her head.
"So, speak to me." He says to her before she starts speaking.
"I just know when she to be taken the responsibility of what's happened between us."
"What's happened between us was fifty-fifty and he shouldn't be married me just to fulfill their responsibility to zindani in that manner." And I don't want you to put a ring on my finger and come into commitment with me for something else that isn't to me.
"I know that all of this feels rushed." It really, really happened so fast and you didn't understand what was going on. But, let me tell you something it says to actually listens to him. For the first time in my life, I've actually pushed myself out of that dark place where I used to be.
"I used to know not have the energy to do anything, or to see the future to go ahead and try something new." But all of a sudden, you come into my life with a simple conversation.
"And I can see my future starting once again. It is because I respect you. I'm coming into commitment with you because I know your worth." And I will not be one of those men which chooses to be with one woman and be with another woman.
"I am a man that belongs to only one woman." And a few moments from now I'll become only yours. Eliana so trust me, this is not something that I'm doing to cover up for what we after.
"I was simply respecting you and giving you the respect that you desire." All I want is to be best the version of myself to you. And this is the best version of myself. Not leaving you alone and definitely not committing to another woman for no reason.
We should do this altogether? He says to her and she smiles at him seeing her what she thinks about him and how it is completely different from what he actually is and it all makes sense now.
She now understands and she smiles and he places his hands on her cheek as it gives her a soft kiss on her face. And she blushes a bit before she releases ourselves from him as he wants to give her some more kisses.
"Come, I'm sure they are done with the arrangements." He says as he holds her hand and they begin to escort each other outside but before they can step outside of the door.
He stops and brings a pouch from his pocket. She doesn't know what it is but he begins to be a simple chain on her wrist for her. She looks at him.
"This is yours." I'm giving it to you as a symbol of our friendship and commitment. Today, I make a promise to you in this room. That as long as I'm married to you and with you.
"I will make sure that I keep you safe and now only you and your dignity and I will never allow anyone to disrespect you for whatsoever reason." Hr says as he stares into her soul meaning every word that leaves his lips and she saves it in her memory for the next time.
"Not even my mother, I promise you." He says to her as he touches her wrist and he puts the chain on her hand and then brings it to her notice.
She kisses it and once again she blushes as pale pink flushes on her face and when David sees that too, he kisses it too before they leave the room together to continue the next part of their new journey.
A married life.
