14 Not A Honeymoon

“I miss Simba...AGH!! I want to pinch his puffy cheeks,” Eryna lightly kicked the air and pouted.

“Miss! May I enter?” A sweet voice interrupted Eryna and she glanced back at the person who had just knocked on the door.

“Yes, yes! Come in,”

“Miss I will be helping you with the food, As you have injured your hand,” She spoke softly, her face had a beautiful smile,

“I will have to trouble you for this, I have wounded my hand,” Eryna replied with a giggle as she pointed at her arm.

“Miss you don’t have to be sorry for it, we are here to help you out,” She responded professionally.

“So should we help you freshen up first?”

“We?”

Eryna looked at her in a daze.

*Clap, clap…

Just like a scene from a fantasy movie, at the sound of her clap four maids entered the room one by one, all of them had a smile on their faces that made Eryna feel scared.

“Why so many?”

Eryna’s face had a weird expression on it.

“We will help you take a bath and prepare for your trip with the Young Master.”

And she smiled warmly but to Eryna she looked like a creepy witch.

‘Prepare me? What am I?’

Eryna thought.

“No need! I will do that by myself…” Eryna forced a smile and stood up.

‘I can bath by myself it’s not like I am fully crippled,’

Eryna glanced one last time at the maids and went into the washroom.

Soon Eryna realized that what she said outside was big talk and now she was suffering inside the bath, her bandage was all drenched and the soap had gotten into the wound, which caused pain in her hand. Her eyes teared up because of the pain.

‘Gaah! This mouth of mine…’

She screamed inwardly as she clenched her teeth.

………………………..

The maids helped her with her food and opened the bandage, her hand was badly wounded. The cut was deep.

The maid bandaged it again before they left her alone.

She glanced at her cell phone and picked up to call Simba.

The phone rang and just like yesterday, he picked up quickly.

“Simba!! It's mommy! Did you miss me?” she spoke in excitement.

“Mommy...When will you come back?” Simba’s voice was hoarse, it sounded like he had cried.

“Simba? Is everything okay? Tell Mommy,”

Eryna got worried all of a sudden.

“I miss you, I want to see you,”

“Love! I know but can’t come now…” She felt his sadness through the phone and spoke again,” How about a video call?”

She said in an excited tone.

“Can I?”

“Sure you can. “

Eryna tried to cheer him up, They talked for a long time and Simba finally looked sleepy. Eryna stayed on the call until Simba fell asleep. She saw him peacefully close his eyes as his chubby cheeks rested on the soft pillow.

“When will I get a chance to meet him?” Eryna stared at the phone screen with a longing expression.

……………………………………

‘Agh!! Why? Can I not go? Like what if the news of the resort crashing down comes and we have to cancel this trip? Or what if there is a storm, no I mean what if something miraculous happens that we don’t have to go.’

Eryna stood before the main door hoping for something to happen that the trip would be canceled, but the car slowly approached her and her heart started racing.

“Aren’t you getting in?” She heard a stern voice from behind and without glancing at him she knew who it was.

“Sigh-I am” Eryna walked towards the car with a reluctant face.

The guards opened up the door for her and took a seat in the back of the luxurious car, soon Micah sat beside her in the back seat looking in the opposite direction with a repulsive look on his face. The Driver took a deep breath before he started the car.

……………………………………….

It had been almost twenty minutes since they started their journey but it felt like an eternity because of the uncomfortable travel partner. Eryna who was already sick of the ride opened the window and let in the cold wind,

“Close the window, your hair is hitting my face,” An annoying voice spoke from behind, Eryna was about to turn around but that exact moment her eyes met some familiar scenery along the way, Her eyes brightened up as she realized something. She turned around and looked at Micah with twinkling eyes and asked him with an excited tone,

“Where are we going?”

Micah was caught off guard as she suddenly closed up to him and asked him in a bright mood, Micah’s lip twitched as he blinked a few times before turning around to stare out of the window. Eryna waited for his reply but he didn’t bother telling her and kept his gaze on the window.

‘This prick...can’t you just answer such a simple question without acting arrogant?’

Eryna thought and then turned around to look at the driver,

She stuck her head out from between the two car seats and looked at the driver with a happy face.

“Sir, where are we headed too?”

“That- We are headed to the northern coastline, The resort is located there,” The driver replied.

With just these words Eryna’s face brightened up even more and she sat back in her seat, the window was still open but she closed it happily.

‘HAHA!! I thought this was something dreadful but turns out it was a blessing in disguise. They are taking me back home and that in their own car.’

Eryna stuck her head to the window beside her as her face was painted with a smile, she stared at the familiar road and waited for the journey to end soon.

They reached the resort sooner than expected, the car slowed down before a magnificent tall building, stopped before the main door. Eryna opened the door with her left hand as she was barely able to use her right hand.
