Agony

I woke up happy because he's really lying beside me, resting his head on his palm and stare at me. I smile and hug him because everything is really not a dream.

" Get up already. Your breakfast is going to cold." he caress my hair and kiss my forehead.

I followed what he said and finish my breakfast. He went out to bring the empty plates back to the kitchen and I went to the bathroom to shower. When I got out of the bathroom, the dress I'm going to wear is already on the bed. He really did what he said last night.

" My Queen, stop smiling. Come here, let me blow-dry your hair." how can I stop smiling when he's the reason why I am smiling like an idiot.

He blow-dry my hair like a professional salon beautician. The way he hold the hair-dryer and comb my hair, he's indeed a professional. He's so serious in doing my hair, it's like no hair strand can escape from his dryer. Now, I'm wondering where did he learn this kind of girly stuff.

" I know I'm handsome. Stop staring, my queen." I take a gulp when he say it. I didn't notice that he already caught me staring at him.

" I just can't get enough with your perfection." He stop blow-drying my hair and bend down infront of me.

" Go. Stare as you want. Everything about me is yours, anyway." he went nearer me that I almost smell his breathe. The space between our faces is just inches away. I stare his eyes, his nose with attractive mole and his lips... My heart beats abnormally when my gaze reach his lips. It's so loud, hoping he won't hear it.

I don't know why he give me those kind of feelings every time he's near me, every time he smile and whisper sweet words to me. My heart is going to explode in excitement every time he did it. His presence give me butterflies in the stomach. I get drunk with laughters when I am with him. I really undeniably inlove with him.

" Your highness, I apologize for interrupting but someone is looking for you." the butler said after knocking the hard and tall wooden double-door.

" You can go. I'll wait for you here." I stated and he stare at me as if his
eyes are saying I don't want to leave you here. I smile at him as a sign of letting him go

" I'll be right back in a minute." he smile and kiss my forehead before he went out of the room. I wear the dress he prepared for me and stare myself in the mirror. The dress is so beautiful, it suited me very well. With the dress I wear, I can say I'm really a queen in castle just like in the fairytale books I've read when I was a kid.

" What took him so long? He said he'll be back in a minute but couple of hours have passed already." I stand up and went out of the room. The butler notice my presence and he's in shock to see me going down the stairs. He's gaze went to me and then back to his highness.

I feel a little bit nervous by seeing his reaction. I stop from taking steps down to the last step of the stairway when an elegant women hug him from the back. My knees sudden feel weak that I almost lost my balance but luckily I hold the banister to keep my balance.

" I miss you so much. I thought I will never get the chance to meet you before our wedding day." he just stare at nowhere while his hands tucked in his front pocket while the lady still hugging him from behind.

After hearing what she said, my tears slowly roll down because of agony. I wanna get out of here, I wanna run away and wake up from this nightmare. I finally lose my strength, I sit down on the staircase and cry.

He's cheating on me? He's cheating with me? Am i the other woman? I don't know what's the right words to say. I can't understand everything. I'm so lost in words.

" MADAM! " The butler shouted when he saw me sitting on the staircase crying.I can't help but to sit down because of my wavering knees.

He run immediately towards me after hearing the worried voice of the butler, he caress my face and wipe my tears using his two thumbs.

" What happened? I told you to wait for me." his eyes is full of sadness as I stare on it. The shimmer before is gone. His eyes is dull, no happiness to be found.

" I KNEW IT! So, it's real that you're inlove with someone else. She's the reason why you can't love me back. If that's the case, no one will be happy. Not her neither will I." she acts hysterically and pull a sword from the knight's hip standing near her. She runs towards him but he didn't notice it.

" Always remember this, Theodore. I will always love you." I whisper in his ear. A warm red liquid drips on the floor as I slowly losing my breathe. His eyes widen in shock. I touch my stomach where the sword pierced into me, I feel the warn temperature of the blood from my body.

" No. No... Please, don't close your eyes. Please stay with me. You promised me that you'll never leave me again. Please, stay awake." I feel so sad of the thought of leaving him. I finally had the chance to be with him forever but I guess, we're really not meant for each other.

" I...I lo..love you so much don't forget it." every words I speak there's a blood coming out of my mouth. For the last time before I close my eyes, I caress his face and feel his embrace.

" Don't leave me. Please. I love you so much." that's the last words I hear before everything went black.

I am not the other woman.
