He was sad; even the morning rays couldn't curtain his tears. He caressed his ring, " I am sorry to let you suffer. I.."
Abhik barged into Yuvan's tent and paused before him. He was panting loudly that he forgot his reason for visiting.
"Bruddah, you are awake?? Huh.. he had a sigh of relief which was easily replaced by excitement. Di.."
"Di??" Yuvan finally noticed his brother's arrival. "what happened?"
"Crowned prince; seriously?? Can't you see it?" Abhik commented sarcastically, pulling Yuvan's hands towards the door of the tent.
"Strange!! The whole snow melted in a single night. The ground looks as if it never existed. But the reason for this sudden melting and climate change?"
"No more reasons; Yuvan turned to the battalion, Order from the crowned prince - Pack the stuff, dismantle the temporary tent, we are leaving the west today itself. He turned towards Charan, Bring my horse."
Their journey was unbelievably smooth. They camped their night near a lake. It too looked like a newly formed lake with no moss nearby. The repeating coincidences in their journey slowly caught everyone's attention one by one.
"Charan don't you think the atmosphere is too cold as if the land is submerged with snow."
"Yes prince, it feels like we are covered with snow but protected with a glass bowl."
"You just deciphered it perfectly. It really feels like we are inside a glass house."
The whole Amai received the news of their prince's arrival. They celebrated his entrance to Amai with hail. The road was filled with people saluting them unanimously.
"Hail the princess" A greet from the crowd surprised him. His hail was joined by others and soon their name was heard together.
From the fort to the royal palace, his eyes looked for her in every face of the crowd he passed by. He knew the outcome yet sometimes people just look for the impossible. Breaking the chains of rules in the palace and harem, Yuvan perceives the result of his search. He wanted to make up for all her sacrifices in the past months.
The momentum of the horses changed upon the gates of the palace. Yuvan's horse accelerated and galloped towards her while the others rode to meet his majesty.
The doors of white pearl mansion opened in a gala to welcome its owner. He stood at the threshold and looked for her in the range of people surrounding him. They gestured towards the garden. He opened the gates of the garden. She was waiting for him, her hair rejoicing with the wind welcoming the happiness. She was standing facing opposite to him. He sprinted and hugged her, cuddling her hands, kissing her hair.
