5 I want to fill your void

"Your Majesty !  Aren't you going to see her ? She was upset not being able to see you "

"Yeah  I should . I don't know what to say her "

"What ? That's no reason  and besides you did talk to her as Zorro didn't you ?"

"Yeah I did but ...."

"Anyways how did you get that name ...Zorro ! I thought I wasn't supposed to call you anything in disguise "

"Ah ... I had to come up with something . That was on a potato chip packet glad I saw it in a kid's hand "

"I see. So will you see her tomorrow Sir ?"

"Yes Ofcourse . I just want her to wait for me that way she will realise my value "

"I really don't think that's a good idea well in any case don't make her wait for long Sir . Good night "

Neil leaves as Zen ponders over her . The next day Alisha wakes up in response to the knock on her door. She gets worried thinking that it would be Zen and quickly washes her face and combs her hair to look proper in front him but upon opening the door she finds three maids waiting in line .

"Good morning My Lady!  " They all greet together and excuse themselves in .

"Umm... good morning to you as well but what are you all doing here ?"

"We are your regular maids ma'am . I'm Mika ..she is Raina and she is Reesha. "

"Please to meet you my lady " Reesha says .

"Wow ! My lady your hair are so beautiful.  So red I have never seen hair of such colour "

"Oh thanks Raina . I thought people find it unusual so I always cover them but I guess I'll let it open from now on "

"Sure ...Ah we brought your dresses and footwear . We will arrange them for you . We will dress you up everyday and do all your chores so please make yourself comfortable . Today is going to be your first breakfast with his Majesty so you should look special " They close the door and make her sit in front of the mirror .

"Yes now that you mention it . Will he have breakfast with me ? "

"Ofcourse . We will make it quick so you are right on time "

"Thanks ." They quickly get her ready and she comes down to the dining hall . Ashia and Neil stand near the table wishing her . The table is set with special meal .

"Please begin my lady . Chef Mihaya has prepared most of your favourite dishes today "

"Oh that's so sweet . Umm but where is he ? Wasn't he supposed to ..?"

"I apologise My lady . His Majesty had some paper work to do so he couldn't ...."

"It's alright Neil I'll wait for him ... After all he has to meet me right ?"

"Well... yes ..but he actually said that he won't make it today as he has a very busy schedule so. ..."

Hearing him she stands up pushing the chair behind . She holds her fists and frowns .

"Don't tell me your king has no apetite and doesn't eat at all I mean what kind of a reason is that and here I came all dressed to share a meal with him . Is he trying to play with me ? He could just tell me if he isn't interested  " She shouts as tears take form around the corners of her eyes . She rubs her temples and let's out an exasperated sigh . 

"  I'm sorry I don't feel like eating but I feel bad since the chef has put in so much effort to prepare this so I'll have have a little . Mika bring it to my room I'll have there "

"Sure My lady . " She bows as Alisha flinched and moves upstairs lifting her gown a little . Neil was upset and stood there speechless.  Zen witnessed everything but chose to remain silent .

"Your Highness ! I think you should go see her she was really upset today "

"Don't tell me what to do Neil and besides we don't discuss anything else but only official matters here in my quarters . You are aware of that aren't you? "

"Pardon me Your Majesty ! " Zen continues his work . Alisha just tastes everything and then refuses to eat any food . She sits beside her window and observes the atmosphere outside .

" My lady please have something it's not good to be  without food "

" I'm not hungry Ashia . It's alright I'll have something later ."

"You are not looking good . You look good only when you smile . Tell  me what can I do for you sing ? Dance ? Play ?"

"You aren't good at that so no need" She looks aside resting her folded fingers under her chin while her elbow rested on the arm rest of the chair.

"Fine then I'll read you a book ."

"Yeah I suppose that will do ."

"Okay then ...." Ashia then goes to the bookshelf and gets a book . He keeps reading but she soon falls asleep . He shuts the books and spreads a blanket over her . He leaves the room asking the maids to look after her . After a few hours she wakes up stretching her arms .

"Oh my god ! How long have I Been asleep ? " She then looks at the clock and realises it was  3 in the evening . She opens her bun and straightens her hair . " Today was rough ...I got mad on Neil for no reason he probably hates me now ..huh.." She then goes to her balcony to see that it was drizzling.  Small droplets of rain fell on her . She was sad for what happened and also on the king she was so desperate to meet . She then starts to sing her favourite song which she did whenever she was upset . Her voice echoed in the hallways . Everyone were mesmerised.  Zen was walking towards his room but he stopped when the melodious voice reached his ears .

A tear runs down your cheek

I want to fill that void with happiness .. no matter how far apart we may be I believe it will reach you .... the raindrops shine beautifully around me .

"This voice .... who could be singing now ? Moreover it seems familiar to  me .." He quickly moves his steps towards the direction of that voice .

When the sadness is located washed away the world will come to life again ...

"It's the same what I heard in lauderdale!  Could it be ... that it's ..?" He thinks over it and reaches the hallway that leads to her room and opens the door . The clicking of the door knob stops her singing as she curiously comes out of her balcony moving the wavy curtains to find Zen looking at her . With the bright green gown , a simple diamond necklace and emarald green studs she looked elegant and pretty . A strong breeze flew as the two souls meet each other .
