Her Mission
Alisha found difficult to swallow. Tears dripped down her face . She saw Zen crying as she held his hand . Her hand could feel the pain in his tears .She never could have imagined that behind a straight face there was a deep story hidden. He probably buried it inside of him for this long . She felt sad for bringing it up but then it gave a her a chance to make things right . She wiped his tears.
"I understand Zen . You aren't sad because you killed her . You are sad because you loved her . She just got the royal family's name but to you she meant something else. To be betrayed by a person you love is an awful feeling . I'm sorry . "
"She could have resisted my attack . Also she had enough time and resources to help herself but she didn't . She chose to die and abandon her mission. "
"Mission ? "
"Yeah . She was upto something although I could never forgive her for killing my mother . "
"I know . "
*************
Zen and Alisha get back to their quarters. Given the time they spent talking they were sure not going wake up early.
"Zen said Saraha always dressed in red I'll do the same . Wow this was the first time Zen spoke to me so much . He also shared to me about his past . I guess he isn't that stubborn as I thought . In any case the fact Zen loved someone is making me so uneasy . I'm glad she isn't alive . Wait what am I saying ? I sound so out of character . Oh well I must get some sleep now. " Saying that she goes back to sleep.
