Falling of the Vase

I walked silently beside the king. I had no words to say him except swearing at him. I hated him too much now.

I followed him and in no time I reached the palace.

The palace was indeed very big. The entrance itself was very big. As I walked in, I saw one woman with a beautiful dress and a beautiful smile standing and expecting us.

Her smiled suddenly melted my heart. All my anger vanished when I saw her warm and welcoming smile. I forgot my mission suddenly for a minute seeing her smile.

Her smile was so cute and it reminded me of Andy. His smile also was warm and welcoming though he liked to pull my legs but whenever I am in danger he will come to protect me. I was missing him too much and thinking "Andy, I am in danger and you don't even come to protect me?"

I snapped out suddenly and thought "What are you thinking Ash? Andy is just a good friend and an elder brother. You should focus on your mission and nothing more."

I stopped my feelings for sometime though it wasn't really possible. I concentrated on the task at hand.

I walked towards the woman. The king was standing right beside me and said "Ashley, this is the queen and sweet heart this is Ashley. You know the rest, take her to the princess room."

He said that and walked from beside her. She said nothing and looked at him going away.

She closed her eyes and then smiled to turn back to me "Dear, you are welcome."

Hearing her voice I remembered "Dear?" I said silently. I closed my eyes and went back to the first time I met Granny Cora. She called me dear.

This woman called me something my Granny used to call me but now that I looked towards her I couldn't help but smile like an idiot because she was too sweet and seemed innocent just opposite to her husband.

"I am Ashley so you can call me Ash." I said and she smiled then blinked her eyes to say okay.

"Follow me." She said before leading me inside the palace.

I followed her to a big room. It was a gigantic room and no room could be compared to that room.

I sat down on the bed when she said "Wear these dress and then come to the main hall, the prince is waiting."

She lowered down to keep the dress and then looked at me. I seemed sad.

"I know you are sad." The queen said and sat down beside me. She now kept her hand on my shoulder "Do you like someone else."

The question took me aback but now that I think about it, it feels confusing.

I looked towards her and I was astonished that I saw Andy in her. I saw Andy smiling at me.

I kept looking that side. He looked towards me sweetly but then I suddenly snapped out of that illusion and saw the queen again.

I sighed and said "No....I don't think so. Anyways now that I am here it is fine for me not to think about anything else."

She moved her head in agreement and sighed "It is okay dear. I know what you think. You must wonder if the prince is like his father. Infact no he isn't. I was along with him from the beginning itself I am not like his father and I am glad that my son is sweet. You will see it. Wear the dress and come to hall."

The queen left the room after that. I felt that she was genuine, I will know about the prince later.

I picked up the dress then turned around to go and change. I turned back and saw Andy again.

He was standing there near my room. He dropped the vase kept on the side of each room.

He dropped and smiled before scratching his head.

I was holding the dress tightly when Andy came near me. He came closer and tried to kiss me. I closed my eyes for a second and then didn't feel someone kissing me so opened my eyes to see. I found out nothing but normal air. I saw that the vase was in the same place too.

I just went inside the washroom and changed to come out.

The dress had laces from behind. it was tough to tie the laces. The dress was deep red and looked good at me. I was reaching the laces when I saw Andy in the mirror. He took the laces and tied it. He kept looking and smiling without saying anything and kept tying the lace. I also kept looking at him in the mirror like a dream.

He now took the bangle kept on the bed and took my hand to push the bangle inside my hands.

Then he turned me back to help me wear the jewellery. He tied the hook behind.

I now turned back to touch him to again find nothing but simple air. I dropped tears. The tears kept coming back. I couldn't stop them.

I now understood that I was missing him too much and nothing can be done about this feeling because I developed feelings for him. These feelings were unstoppable.

I took the bangle and jewelries and wore them fast then tied my hairs in a bun then walked out.

The dress was not just beautiful but also heavy to carry.

I didn't put any makeup. I just had a simple lipstick on and a light eyeliner. I now walked but got messed up.

There were too many roads and too many rooms. It was confusing.

I walked straight but looked back to see where I messed up and if someone can help me.

Then suddenly I felt a push that made me and the person I clashed to inside the waters. We both didn't look ahead instead looked behind and clashed even though coming straight towards each other.

The powerful splash opened my hairs and made me all wet. I came out of the water and turned my hairs back.

My hairs were no longer long but still were beautiful and when they circled around me It looked majestic.

While I was turning my hairs the king and the queen with the ministers came and looked at us.

That majestic look was seen by everyone. The queen had her mouth opened and kept kept blinking.

All the ministers laughed a little and said "King your daughter in law met the prince in quite unwanted situation." then again broke into laughter.

I didn't look to who I clashed so now after what the minister said I looked at him.

I saw his hairs were wet and came to his face. He was wearing blue colored suit. He was wet and looked quite handsome.

That suit looked quite expensive and it was clear that he was the prince.

We both were taken out of the pool that was beside the way.

We both were completely soaked in water.

I looked at the prince and said "I am really sorry."

He pulled out his coat and handed him to the minister and looked towards me to say "It's nothing, even I should be careful."

Now I saw him carefully. He was soaked and his body was clearly visible from the white shirt he was wearing.

He had an amazing body but then I thought he must have a great body, afterall he is the prince.

Then I thought about Andy who is bound to have even more better and muscular body than him. The one and only whom I was never ever going to meet again.

It is not like he is simply going to walk through the room and fall down knocking the same vase he did in my dreams infront of my room.

I felt like crying when the queen took me to the room to get changed.
