Promise

"So tell me what happened? Did you fight with your sister?" Abhi asked.

"Abhi, why didn't you ask me?" Maira asked.

Abhi scrunched his eyebrows in confusion and asked "About what maira?"

" Why didn't I visit you when you are injured and present in this kingdom?" Maira inquired.

Abhi just smiled and replied "What's there to ask? It is very clear that you are not aware of visit"

Maira looked at abhi with her misty eyes and asked "Then why didn't you visit me?"

Abhi froze and said "That. That i am seriously injured so i am not able to move"

"Then why didn't you ask anyone to send about your situation to me?" maira inquired.

"I don't want to trouble you maira. I don't want you to worry about my condition. So I remained silent" Abhi replied.

"Why abhi? Why are you this good to me? Don't you want to blame my father for this?" Maira asked with sadness laced in her voice.

"Maira.. What are you speaking? Why would I blame your father?" Abhi asked.

"Please abhi don't try to hide anymore. I know everything." Maira replied.

Abhi sighed and he understands he can't do anything about this matter. He wants to hide this from her and doesn't want to bring differences between father and daughter who are reunited after a long time.

"It is not like that maira. I understand your father's thoughts. You are a princess and future queen of this kingdom. Your father wishes for your own good so I didn't take it to heart" Abhi stated.

"And who can stop me from visiting you?" Abhi said with a smirk.

Maira was relieved after listening to abhi words. She knows he won't leave her alone.

"But i informed father that no one stops me from meeting you and had a fight with them right now. So that's why my mood is not good" Maira informed abhi.

"What? You fought with your parents because of me?" Abhi asked.

"Yes, not only for you. Father and mother are making me distant from dada and ma. I can't take it anymore. I am not a child anymore and they won't restrict whom i can talk and with whom i love" Maira deadpaneed.

Abhi felt a bit of happiness in his heart. He felt bad that she fought with her parents but he felt relieved and happy when she said she fought for him.

'Maira, I hope you will remain by my side when you know the truth about me' Abhi thought to himself while looking maira with sadness in his eyes.

Maira looked at Abhi who remained silent after listening to her and to her astonishment his eyes were full of sadness which squeezed her heart.

"Abhi" Maira called him.

Abhi came out of his thoughts and looked at maira and said "Yes"

"Are you ok? Don't feel bad. I won't fight with them again ok?" Maira asked abhi while holding his face in her arms and looking at him with puppy eyes.

Abhi smiled and nodded his head.

"That's good. Don't fight with them again. After sometime go and apologize to them" Abhi informed.

Maira nodded her head slowly.

"Maira" Abhi called out.

"Hmm?" Maira raised her head and looked at abhi.

"That.." abhi wants to tell her something important but he is not sure whether it is the right time or not.

"Maira will you promise me one thing?" Abhi asked earnestly.

"What is it abhi?" Maira asked, sensing turmoil in his emotions.

"Maira, Do you remember when i tried to tell you about my family background and after that you said you will see the real me who is with you not with my family background" Abhi stated.

"Yes. Now also I will treat you based on who you are now not from your past or your background" Maira again stated firmly.

Abhi's eyes glowed with happiness and hope lit in his heart.

"Why that now abhi? Anything happened?" Maira asked.

"Nothing happened. I just want you to promise me what will happen in future don't leave me Maira. Please" Abhi pleaded.

"Abhi.. What happened? Why are you suddenly asking this?" Maira asked and her heart was filled with uneasiness.

"Promise me maira" Abhi asked again by extending his hand.

Maira looked at Abhi who seemed like a lost puppy in the darkness and waiting for light to fill the darkness.

"Yes abhi. I won't leave you what happens in the future." Maira promised and placed her palm in abhi's palm as a promise.

Abhi's eyes glowed with light of happiness and he sighed in relief. He felt like a heavy burden lifted from his shoulder.

"Thank you maira. I will tell you everything in a few days." Abhi stated.

Maira smiled and nodded her head.

Maira knows Abhi well from her childhood and she knows him in and out. How he behaves and how he thinks. Everything she knows. In Fact she knows more about him than his mother.

She knows what happened in the future. She will trust him and she can rely on him.

"Maira" Abhi called her when he remembered something important.

"Do you know i sent my mother to Lotus Kingdom?" Abhi asked.

"Huh. Yes I got to know about this from grandfather. She is safe there. Don't worry" Maira said with a smile.

Abhi also smiled and nodded his head.

"And what happened to you maira? I didn't sense your mana when I tried to search for the first time" Abhi asked suddenly.

"And also I found a large amount of mana transfer in your room. What exactly is happening here?"

Maira looked at Abhi for some time and started speaking.

"Do you remember when you visit lotus kingdom for the first time?" Maira asked.

"Yes, I remembered" abhi replied.

"Then i informed you about someone who ashmita found in the forest"

Abhi tried to recall all the events that happened on that visit.

"Yes yes you informed about elves" Abhi stated after he remembered when maira informed her about them.

"Yeah. The leader of that group treated us" Maira deadpanned.

"What? What happened to you? Are you injured? Anything bad happened to you? Who is the us? You and Ashmita both are hurt? Why didn't you inform me? Why are you not saying anything maira?" Abhi bombarded maira with all questions.

Maira smiled and looked at Abhi who was waiting for her answer and how worried he is for her.

"Did you give me any time for me to answer all your questions? You are asking with no stop at all" Maira stated.

"Ahem. I am just worried about you. Ok tell me what happened?" Abhi cleared his throat and asked with patience.

"Nothing happened to us. We just lost consciousness for some days" Maira stated.

"What? For days?" Abhi again became excited.

Maira looked sternly at Abhi, causing the latter to sit silently.

"Yes, we both awakened our twin bonding" Maira started explaining to Abhi all the events that happened and how Oak treated them.

Abhi listened to maira intently and nodded his head.

"So still Ashmita is unconscious?" Abhi asked.

"Yes. I hope she will recover soon" Maira said with a sigh.

"Don't worry. She will recover soon" Abhi consoled maira.
