Pregnant For The Royal Prince

RINA sat on one of the couches in the living room crying hysterically, like, this has been one of her routines of recent, to always cry.

The nurses had just left, and what Nurse Meda told her concerning knowing the gender of her baby was totally uncalled for.

How can the Queen be so wicked up to this extent, of not letting her know the sex of her unborn? Like seriously?

Okay yes, she wouldn’t have the baby after delivery, agreed, but just to know its gender, she refused. God! This woman must be a very wicked soul.

She cried and cried, hitting at the couch and other things around just to vent her anger. Her mother slowly walked in.

She walked up to her and sat beside her, moved to tears as well, but she held them back. If she lets them flow, who would console the other?

Slowly she put her arms around her daughter and embraced her, preventing her from hitting at any object again.

“You need to take this easy”, she whispered into her ears, “for the baby, for me, for us”, she added.

Rina was adamant, as she continued crying, the pain was much.

“Mom I do not think you understand my plight”, she found her words, “I am pained, like, I am really pained”, she continued crying.

“I know dear, I know”, she said, still holding her in a hug.

“No, I don’t think you do”, she said.

“Of course I do baby”.

“Is it my damn fault that the Prince chose to fall in love with me?” She rhetorically asked.

“It’s not dear, it’s not”.

“Is it my fault that fate brought us together? Why would mine be different? Am I the first and only woman to be pregnant for a Prince? Why is mine different? Why?” She cried, trying vehemently to loose grip from her mother, but she held her down.

“Rin, yours is different because you are special, I am here for you baby, I am here for you”, Selena said, all in a bid to pacify her.

But she cried the more, she kept crying and suddenly, she wailed out.

“I give up!” She shouted.

“What?” Selena asked.

“I give up on this love mom, I’m tired, I am tired”, she said.

“It is okay, it is okay baby Rin, it is okay”, her mother pacified, rubbing her hands on her back.

Then she suddenly stopped crying and sniffed. Her mother sat straight to look at her.

“Mother I need a phone”, she said.

“What? What for?” She asked with her eyes, widened in shock.

“I need a phone”, she went back into crying, shouting this time, she was becoming violent.

“Daughter… daughter, calm down, your health, the baby…”, she tried holding her down again.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

“Mom I need a phone, I need to make a call, I need to send a text, I need a phone… I give up… I need a phone…”, she continued shouting.

“You can’t have it, you know”.

“Tell one of the guards to give me a phone, I want to end this, I need to end this. I need a phone…”, she continued shouting until Selena took her inside the room and put her to sleep.

Raghav was still sitting at the balcony waiting for Rudra to return so that they can start up some work. He was busy on his phone as he waited.

Lady Aarti has just left him to be with Ali Baby, who returned from her lesson few minutes ago.

Zaina and Prisha who had gone in to see Zashil hasn’t yet returned, they were still having fun.

So, he alone was left in the balcony, waiting. As he surfed on the phone, a message notification popped up, and he immediately tapped on it.

It was a text from an unknown number. His eyes hastingly rushed through the lines of the brief text and it sent chills down his spine, he went cold instantly.

At this juncture, Rudra entered with one of his guards.

“Hey Raghav, this is Yul, the head of my guards. I have told him about the task at hand and he has set his team ready, I just need you to come see them”, he said.

“I don’t think that would be necessary anymore”, Raghav said coldly.

“Huh?” Rudra said and glanced at the guard, “what do you mean?” He asked, befuddled.

Without uttering a word, Raghav handed the phone to Rudra and he took it, then looked into it. He saw the text, and he read through the lines.

?? I’m so sorry Raghav, I don’t know how you are going to take this but I do hope you have the fortitude to bear it. You must have returned to greet my absence, yeah, I’m very faraway from Shimla kingdom, I’m not anywhere close to it, I don’t even know where I am, all I know is I just ran for safety.

Your mother’s threatenings are what I can’t continue to live with, I had to leave Shimla with my mom and damn any means you could reach me, don’t come looking for me, you won’t find me, never.

Thank you for everything you did for me, and everything you have been doing.

I really do hope you and your betrothed gonna be happy together. I might love you, but she loves you more, why not give her a chance? This is a goodbye from me, have a good life. Rina?.

“What!” Rudra exclaimed.
