Riya's College
"Now tell me Riya, actually what's happened today?" Nitya asked inquisitively.
"What shall I tell you Nitya? today just because of her my Mumma scold me again, she is a vicious
person and that's why nobody likes her except my Mumma," she replied while munching her sandwich.
"But, why did your mom scold you again?" she questioned.
"Actually I told her to prepare my assignment of Business management at last night...that's why she
scolded me," she retorted.
"Oh, that's why your assignment was perfect in the description as well as in handwriting today...why I
didn't notice earlier," she said sarcastically while laughing.
"What the heck Nitya? why are you mocking me..." she said angrily.
"Ok ok sorry, dear ... But why did Auntie scold you for such a thing? as far as I know, you always take
her help in your every work...but this time why she scolded you...I don't understand. I think there's
something else..pls tell me the truth." she asked.
"Actually Nitya, Her 3rd-year exam is ongoing that's why Mumma got angry with me and said don't
disturb her in her exam time," she said as drinking her coke.
"Are you mad Riya? So it's totally your fault... Auntie was right... You shouldn't have done that,"
She said, "Riya, I think you've gone too far this time In troubling her. You should not have harassed her
during her exam time, she will already be feeling burdened with the exam.
"What happened to you abruptly, Nitya? Since when did you start worrying about her? You also don't
like her... do you?" she asked looking at her.
"Yes Riya, I don't like her as well as she always irritates you and annoying you in your every stuff. But
this doesn't mean we will do the same with her...After all, it's a question of her career." she explained.
"Let it be Nitya... Don't angry with me because of her...she is nobody. Let's go, we are getting late for
our accounts class...anyway our exam is also going to start after a week...we have to focus on it," she
said smilingly as she doesn't want to argue with her friend further on that person who doesn't exist for
her.
"Ok, Let's go...but don't do this again," she said.

Since Ruhi has been sitting like this for a long time, the tears have dried upon her cheek, and her face
turned pale. But still, she is wondering why her own mother doesn't love her and asks herself, why her
mother hates her so much?
Then she heard her phone continuously ringing...She walks towards her study table staggeringly and
lifts her phone, as she saw a name on phone, a slight smile comes on her face, and quickly picks up.
"Hello, Ruhi, where have you been girl? I'm very worried about you...Where were you??" voice comes
from another side
"Hello Kavya, I'm fine...Actually, I was downstairs so I didn't hear your call...Sorry," she whimper as her
voice is not coming out, after all, she cried one's heart out a while ago.
"What's happened to your voice ...Have you cried Ruhi?" she asked in a worried tone
"No., No Kavya... I got a cold maybe that's why my voice becomes heavy" she stutters
"Ruhi, Why are you telling a lie to me...they again scolded you...Isn't it?" she questioned again.
Hearing her, she remembers their words, her tears welled up from her eyes abruptly, she said, "No"
sobbingly.
"Ruhi, What's happened?... Wait! I'm coming there in a while," she said as hang up her phone.
Ruhi clenched the phone on her chest and started crying bitterly once again...
London, Uk
They reached Arthur's palace, and as soon as he got out of the car, Edwin said, "Remember my words,
Ernest, to greet them with a smile."
Ernest stared at him but didn't say anything and went ahead, leaving him behind.
When they enter in Palace, Ernest saw Martha is doing some chores, he called her, "Martha, where is
everyone?"
(Martha is the head maid of the palace. she knows Ernest's truth about his crown prince.)
Martha said, "Sir, everyone is in the drawing hall as they all are waiting for you."
Ernest went towards the Drawing room along with Edwin.
As he enters the drawing-room, his mother saw him first as entering the hall. she stands up from the
couch and Ernest walked towards her mom first and hugs her.
"Welcome Home, Ernest," she said while smiling and then he heard.
"Welcome home Big Bro...We missed you so much," his sibling said as hugging him tightly.
"I missed you too," said Ernest with smiling face as looking towards Edwin.
"Crash"
They heard a sound of falling something, and rush towards that sounds.
A while ago...
A girl is sitting at the dining table and looking for something with her hand but the glass accidentally
falls down and smashed in pieces.She gets up from her chair and swings her hand in air defense and
moves gradually.
Present...
As she is about to set foot on the broken glass she heard, "Elena STOP. Don't step on it."
she got flinch abruptly to hear that deep voice and clenched her left chest.
Ernest Pov
When I entered the hall, mom stood up from the couch then I hurriedly go towards her and hugs her as
I was meeting with her after 6 long months.
"Welcome Home, Ernest," she said with a smiling face and pats my back.
I really missed her.
Meanwhile, Ryan and Aaron came towards me as well and hugs me tightly like I'll be invisible in
minutes. Then I heard, "Welcome back big bro...We missed you so much."
"I missed you too," I said with a smiling face as Edwin stared at me incessantly as if he would swallow
me whole if I didn't smile.
Meanwhile, we all heard the sound of something falling and broke our embrace and saw where the
sound came from. And then we ran towards the dining room.
We quickly went to Dinning hall and saw that Elena was about to set her foot on the broken glass.
I screamed, "Elena STOP," as she heard my voice abruptly she got tremble and clenched her left chest.
I quickly walk up to her, pick her up in a bridal style and bring her into the hall and make her sit on the
couch.
"What the hell Elena? Do you know...what were you going to do now?" I shouted as sat near her on the
same couch.
"How would I know Big bro?... Rather you scared me by suddenly shouting at me," she said as making
a sullen face and crossed her arms, and turned her face another side.
I calmed myself as seeing her sullen face, "Kiddo, you were about to set your foot on Broken glass...tell
me one thing... what were you doing there alone?"
She turned her face towards me and whimper,"Sorry brother, I didn't know that there is broken glass
and I went there for drinking water as all maids are on leave...I'm sorry for troubling you," her eyes
become moist," but Bro, I don't like it to take anybody's help for my personal chores as I feel burdened.
"Don't feel like that, Elena," said mom as placing her hand on her head," you didn't get hurt
anywhere...Have you?"
"No mom," she said.
"kiddo, you are our little sister and never feel like that...we always with you and don't worry, you will
soon see this world again...but keep some more patience, dear," said Ryan.
"Yes, Elena you are our brave sister. so don't feel low, dear," said Edwin.
"Bro, she is just pretending...after all, She is my drama queen, Isn't it? Elie," said Aaron and tried to
make her smile.
Elena didn't say anything as she lowered her head down...Everyone staring at her and doesn't know
what she's thinking? But I know what's my little sister is thinking.
I can see her she is somewhat losing her confidence, I pat her on the back and said, "Elena, Don't
worry, you will see soon as Ryan has said."
(Actually, Elena is blind, two years back she has lost her eyesight in a car accident... I still strongly
believe it was not an accident, it was pre-planned. But still, I didn't find out anything related to this. But
my little sister is courageous. In these 2 years, she has adapted herself very hard, as she struggled a
lot in beginning and because of that, her study also delayed and now she is pursuing a degree in arts
and makes beautiful paintings, and wants to become an artist.)
Meanwhile, Elena swings her hand in the air as she wants to find something. I caught her hand, "what's
happened, Elena?"
She leaned towards me and keep her head on my chest, and said, "Big bro, when will I get my eyesight
back...It's been 2 years...I'm still waiting."
"Soon, dear, I patted her back."She has only a 10% chance to get her eyesight back but we have not
told her the real truth that she has less chances to get her eyesight back as she will become upset and
we don't want her to lose her hope and Ryan is already trying his best to find aid for her enormously."
"You know I brought a special gift for you, want to see," I asked
"she nodded, but abruptly become sad and said, "How will I see brother?"
"Don't worry, you can feel it with your hands," I said. "Take it"
She takes my gift, unwraps it fastly as she becomes curious about exactly what I brought her."
"Ernest when had you brought it for her, I didn't notice," asked Edwin.I smirk as staring at him.He
stared at me as well while grinning.
Elena unwraps it and placing her hand on it and feels that it is a painting actually, a broad smile comes
on her face, so I think she like my gift overall.
(Actually, It's an Impasto painting which is the work of an American artist, Jeff Hanson. He is also a
blind person. Using repeated geometric shapes he takes inspiration from the natural world, with plenty
of artworks devoted to swathes of wildflowers and lush green fields.)
"How is it? Elena" asked Aaron curiously.
"Great, bro, I liked it a lot... Thank you so much," She said and hugged me tightly.
"But, How would you know that I would like your gift?" she asked inquisitively.
"I know everything about my little kiddo," I said.
"I want one more thing from you," asked Elena while placing her hand on my hand.
"What you want..tell me?" I asked.
"That you spend your whole day with me." she retorted.
"But Elena it's not possible for bro...Haven't you know," Aaron said.
She lowered her head down and bit her lower lip.
"Elena, Aaron is right, I can't live a whole day with you as you know nobody knows as I'm Ernest
Arthur, that's why mom has given leave to all the maids today, isn't it?
"Bro, I know but you've promised me that you will fulfill my wish and I really want to spend my day with
you as you were not here for long 6 months," she mumbled.
"When... When did bro promise you for your wish," asked Aaron as gazing towards Elena, "we are
Standing here for a long time... We didn't even hear it... Isn't it...bro?"
"Quiet Aaron," said mom.
"But mom-
"SILENT AARON," I roared, everyone got flinch except mom, "don't even dare to cross mom's words...
Got it."
"Sorry Bro, but she is telling a lie in front of everyone," Aaron said.
"No, Aaron, she was not telling a lie, I'd promised her back before going to America," I said.
Elena was playing with her finger as she knows, I've told a lie for her.
"Sorry, Bro, I didn't know," Aaron asked while sitting on the couch in front of me, "But How will you
spend your day with her now?"
"Yes Ernest," asked Edwin as well.
"Brother, I have an idea, we will all go out in disguise so that no one will be able to identify us and we
will all come before the party starts," said Ryan with a curious tone of voice.
"Ryan Bro, that's a good idea," Elena shouts abruptly.
"Ok, we will go," I said.
"But where you want to go?" I asked.
"I'll tell you later," she said with a big smile.
" Sorry guys, but I will not able to come tomorrow as I have to go to manchester for some work," said
Edwin.
"Will you not come to my birthday party as well, bro?" asked Elena as furrowed her brows.
Edwin walks towards her, "Don't worry my little doll, I'll definitely come to your birthday party but would
not be able to go with you as I have some urgent work related to dad," Edwin said as patting her head.
"It's ok bro, you can go," said Elena.
"Thank you so much for giving me your permission." he chuckled.
she also giggled to heard him.

"A lot has happened, now have lunch, today I have especially made something for everyone's choice,"
said Meera.
"Blessed luck to us, we will eat lunch made by our queen," said Edwin as laughing.
"Brother, you are saying as if, before mother has never fed you her own hand-cooked food," said Ryan
while keeping his arm on Edwin's shoulder.
"No, It's not like that, actually today her lovely son is back after 6 months, So for sure today we will get
to eat Indian food made by our dearest queen as Ernest like it Indian food very much," said Edwin.
"Absolutely Right, Edwin," said Meera as chuckling."Now, let's go."
"You all go...I'll be right back in a while after fresh-n-up, "said Ernest with stern face while moving
towards stairs.
Alright come early, otherwise, all the food will be eaten by me," said Edwin while laughing.
Ernest goes from there without say anything to him...
Ernest opens the doorknob and enters his room,
(Room is elegantly solemn black master bedroom, decorated with crystal chandeliers and adorned wall
accents and mirrors, creates a masculine and modern design scheme. The patterned silver headboard
with dark tone wood frame, custom-designed night table, and dark tone flooring carry on the luxurious
design style. The white shaggy area rug balances the overall texture are the feels of the room. The
sliding oversized glass door that directly opens into the pool looks elegant.)
Ernest directly goes towards at Bathroom for the shower.
Downstairs,
Martha comes for help to Queen while serving lunch at the dining table.
Ryan helps Elena to make her sit comfortably and sits beside her.
"Aaron, Where is the king?" Edwin asked while sitting beside him.
"Dad has gone to Birmingham for his work with your father...Don't you know, bro?" He retorted.
"No, Dad didn't tell me," he shook off his head.
Aaron gestured to Edwin bring his ear near him, and whispered in his ear, "as dad also didn't tell
anyone here where are they going?...actually I'd heard it by mistake when he is talking with your dad."
"Aaron, You had heard by mistake, or you were eavesdropping deliberately?" he asked suspiciously.
"No Bro," he said while shrugging shoulders," I'm telling a truth this time...I'd heard by mistake."
Edwin looked enquiringly at Aaron, who shrugged his shoulders.
Aaron gestured to Edwin bring his ear near him, and whispered in his ear, "as dad also didn't tell
