Captured

All that time, zain was calm, looking at how everyone looked at him like a mountain, someone smart, strong, manipulative, and calm. every move he made was measured, but…

In the eyes of everyone, he was an abnormal person except for one, his father. Every time he talked to his father, he lost. In his father's eyes, he was a troublesome spoiled kid only.

"what? That kid bumped me and didn't even say sorry ", he lost his calmness again in front of his majesty, looking like a kid again.

"oh? Then what about the cafe incident?" his majesty asked again, his anger didn't lossen, but in contrast, it even intensified.

"I saw Aleena having an interview and couldn't control my anger," he stated what was in his mind truthfully, he can't lie to his old man.

"What else have you done until now?" he asked calmly, not showing emotions again.

"Nothing so far," zain can't think of a thing that his majesty could learn of.

"Hey kid," his majesty neared his head towards zain's and stated with a glare, "don't lie to me. I know everything that happens in my kingdom."

"Like what?" asked Zain, confused by his majesty's questions.

" like what? Your phone call to Akhil", his majesty answered simply.

"you were spying on me!", hearing this zain shouted angrily, why should he spy on him?

"How can I let you free without a spy next to you," he said this then suddenly, he shouted, "or god knows what will you do next!"

"I was-----," trying to refute

"shut up and listen," stopping zain from refuting, "one you hurt innocent people, two destroyed a cafe, three planning something from behind."

He looked down at zain and said, "young man, you are grounded for three days."

"What?" he shouted, but seeing the father glare, he only continued calmly, "I am not a kid."

"Yeah that's why I gave you that punishment," he said in a calm voice then turned his sleeves and ordered, "Now get out of here "

---------------------

After seeing his angry father, and after seeing his actions, Zain returned to his chamber with a down face.

Throwing himself on the bed, he looked at the ceiling somewhat hurt, feeling uneasiness in his heart.

*ring~ring*

Hearing his phone ringing, Zain raised it directly above his face to see who was calling at this time.

"Hello," after seeing the caller's number, he sat down properly, greeting with a down full voice, one tip about him; if he is unfortunate, he won't greet with his unique way.

"Oh, zain!!! I have great news!!," the sound of Akhil shooting from the phone in excitement, his sudden response upset zain

"Is this how you greet your prince?" with a stone-like face he asked Akhil,

"Sorry, your highness, I have great news," Akhil said in a normal voice holding his excitement, creating a childish voice. but if anyone saw his smirk, they would be terrified

This change from excitement to calmness plus a hint of childishness made zain think, 'oh, you piqued my interest.'

"and what is that?" zain asked bored, trying to find what could make this cold one lose his Constance?

"I captured Tayiba,'' Akhil said calmly as if he had done nothing, at least won't he be afraid of abducting a human?

"you did what?" with opened eyes zain shouted from shock, losing his constant too, forgetting about all his past griff.

'Finally, I have a card up my sleeves' This sudden change in his aura was not because of nothing.

He knows what important information this girl holds, mmm, and it looks the duo don't care about human rights… sigh.

"I captured Tayiba" he stated this again to emphasis that what he has done was the truth then continued, "and will pull the information from her," l

"but won't it affect you? After all, you like her," zain asked while frowning slightly wanting to know what is on Akhil's mind

"Huh? you are my bro and bros comes first," he said in a calm voice stating a long lost fact that has been removed nowadays, "anyways, I am cutting the call, busy."

"Yeah, bye," zain asked, feeling both happiness and sadness at the same time, he is feeling that he is doing something wrong.

A feeling that he is separating two people from each other, by his actions, he is hurting not one but two.

a lousy emotion that deleted his past happiness, he thought to himself, deciding to have one more goal, 'i promise I will help you, bro.'

This feeling started long long ago...

------------{TIME SKIP: AGES BEFORE}----------

"Finally, we are back," zayed shouted eagerly to be back. This work fanatic he seems to hate trips; it takes his work time.

'Huh? What is with him', Zayed looked at where awhile was, seeing him losing himself, losing the past aura he was confused,

But this was not zayed alone, and everyone noticed this change, especially zain. It all started after the return from Huawei's trip.

One two three… not minutes but a few years passed, after that trip, everyone returned to normal except him.

It seems he was still stuck on that day, and zain patients faded away; he needed to find what had happened with his friend!

A series of plans to investigate what happened, one of them led to the savior of Akhil from a regretful life mistake.

Zain decided to raid his house, mmm yes to attack his home, is this how bros help each other?

To be honest, he cares about him. It's just as a prince he can't show his affection in public, or they will become targets. That is one of the dark rules for being a prince.

so when he raids his house, he found a shooking scene in front him, something weird to be seen in a youth's house

He saw him having sleeping pills, that is ok some do tack them, but…

He has many pills on top of you, while you are unconsumed on the sofa, with a messy room, indicate not someone in his right mind.

One thought lingered in zain's mind, 'suicidal attempt.'
