Chapter 37: I can kill for you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chaos
One Life,
One soul,
One brain,
One Heart,
One Human,
Breathing,
Heart Beating,
You say for being 'Alive' that's all what you need,
But who will see the pain,
The games the life is playing,
Dark thoughts lingering in that Brain, which can give anything just to forget,
A Soul who wants nothing more than peace,
Yet it Longs for the unrequited,
A Stabbed heart of Emotions,
Prickling the needles as if it's a Devil's play,
A Human, with a Shattered soul, an uncontrolled brain, a pierced heart void of Emotions that's sinful enough,
You call it a human,
But it is a walking talking Chaos,
You call it being alive,
But all you can take is that painful breaths,
You want to forget, you want to forgive, you want to move on.
Is it simpler?
So you cry,
And why not, it's far more better than those unnerving drugs you take,
Numbness that's what you seek,
Why you cry is not the question you seek,
Does it work is the question you should search for,
Nevertheless you do it,
And for that mere second,
You're empty,
You gained what you seek,
You got your divergence,
The emptiness you get in the end is somehow peaceful,
But it ate your heart until there was no heart left in that soul.
Are you content enough with your loss?
-Trishala. A .

Running through the huge Trystine garden was a task in itself, the huge trees which covered the sky and the darkness surrounding it really made me lost in its own labyrinth. Nevertheless I was determined to find my way out of this hellhole.
As soon Arthur dropped me in the Adam Chambers, I allowed myself to have the bliss of the soft covers beneath me, as I peacefully rested on it for god knows how many hours, eventually as expected a team of professional doctors did came to evaluate my current status, throughout the process I pretended to be unconscious, but honestly I was drop dead hungry and tired because all of the chains of events that occurred today.
After good half an hour when everyone left me alone, I opened my eyes as I was in awe when I first saw the room I was in being held in, nevertheless the bed itself was a King sized one and I wondered who would be the owner of this place, cause it was huge and surely some one really important one would have been owning such a huge room, though the furniture and even the cupboards were decked with business suits and expensive shirts. As much as I recall, this is Adam Chambers, Mr James Trystine late brother tycoon Mr Adam Trystine. I wonder why out of so many rooms in this huge house he decided to put me in here.
Though I was really tempted to check out the whole place, cause hell who wouldn't do that.
Hiding and walking cautiously, I escaped the usual maids and servants, eventually they were busy preparing the dinner for tonight, from one of the corners of the Kitchen I heard one of the maid whispering in hush tone about a girl who Mr James had brought today, something related to my fate would be discussed in today's dinner. I ignored her eerie comment and hideously grabbed a pack of chips and coke. I was hungry after all.
Having the delicious snack and running out of the house I was now in the middle of this Trystine forest, which they surprising call as a garden. Running out into the garden was easy, but getting your way out of it was difficult, I was determined to find my way out too. You see, Trystine House was the one of the huge and the last houses in the estate which is partially connected to this hidden forest. And if stars are good at my side, in less than an hour it will take me towards the highway connected at the exit of this forest. My only prayer is that I don't catch a wild animal by my side, after all I don't want to get myself eaten by a wild wolf do I.
The moon light was already hidden by the those dark and luscious branches of trees, forming its own spider nest above me, I checked the time on my cell phone, it was 11.00 pm , one hour more and Sid will send a search party. I dialled in his number as it rang for a second and immediately I was greeted by my best friend's voice.
"Kiwi! Where the hell are you, I was all prepared to break into Trystine Headquarters by tonight, I even visited your apartment, even that old hag named Cordelia was worried for you. Where are you?" I shrinked at the audacity of his voice, as I finally decided to explain him the sitaution.
"Take a deep breath Sid, as of where I'm.....I don't know about it myself. But I can say I'm near Trystine Ville, currently walking my way out through the adjacent forest to it, I'm on my way to Highway." I replied, as I jumped, over a dead trees log, it was darker and darker as I delved more into this thick forest.
"Are you out of your mind? Why you are all alone there and first of all what are you doing at Trystine Ville" he asked.
"Here's a thing, fun fact- James Trystine is my father, is this enough to shut your god damn hole!", I was already pissed off and even my head is pounding, as I struggled myself walking straight.
"What!", A single What....and there was silence. Eventually I was glad of this silence, because it was peaceful in my already chaotic life. Sid understands me very well; he knows that I never lie, especially if it is something related to my father. From childhood only he was really careful about me, to never ever mention any topic related to my father. Yet here he believes in something which I don't believe myself.
"How's your heart", lulled Sid's worried voice and that was the time I was a broke.
His single question, answered my thousands feelings, he didn't asked me how I'm. He didn't ask me whether I'm okay or not. He knows that I'm not okay, yet he knows that my heart is something he should be worried of. It's the most vulnerable thing of all.
I stumbled on my feet as I let myself fall, my body hit the ground, as I curled up in a little ball, as I started hyperventilating. Out of all the times, my panic attack decided to come right now, my breathings were hinge, my hands and legs were sweaty enough, soil tinged my skin, yet I couldn't help but strawl myself up and down. As if the world is lost around me and only thing which is left in my world is the misery.
"Kiwi, listen to me. Now is not the time for you to go under this breakdown, you're stronger then that you know it, do you want to curl up there in the middle of nowhere and let the fate destroy you. No! right, breath Kiwi, listen to me, concentrate on my voice. Let us start counting, come on 1.....2......3....."
And just like that Sid was the ray of light in my lumbering darkness, he didn't let me get lost in my own delusion of misery, he pulled me out with his voice and god knows what would have happened if Sid wasn't there to talk to me, even though he was on the phone, he really helped me.
"Okay, how are you feeling Kiwi, how's your breathing" he asked worriedly, it's been half an hour since; he has been talking me the way out.
"Normal, just a slight dizziness but everything will be alright, by the way I guess I reached the highway I can see the exit, where are you" I asked him as I saw the light and moving cars from the side, I was nearing the highway was the fact I was sure of.
"I'm driving through the western express highway, it will take me half an hour, to reach your location" said Sid, as I can hear the tension in his voice, he is doing his best to reach me as fast as possible.
"I was thinking to take a cab to your hotel. You don't need to come here all the way for me." I said, as I stood in the middle of the highway, it was already deserted, as I looked up in the sky to find a crescent moon.
"No ways! Stay right there, I'm coming for you-" before I could hear any further, a loud horn blasted in the air, as I turned towards the road, finding myself a good inch away from a black SUV.
Damn! That was close, I could easily hit by this car, if I was not careful.
"Kiwi! What's wrong, what was that noise about, are you alright!" I heard the Sid voice, in the call which was still on.
But I was busy to look at the doors of the Black SUV, as the driver seat's door opened, wearing black cladded tight suit and loosened tie. I came face to face to Mr Vridhaan Aham, or may I say the official King of the Aham's, one of the house member and ruler of one of the Kingdoms of Millensh.
A single shiver ran down my spine, as he analyzed me with those dark eyes. Personally out of all the member Kingdom's somehow or the other the Aham's are the most intimidating one's, they are all mysterious. No one knows what they're up to, they work in secrecy was a fact well known. Hardly any history has been recorded of them, yet they're the most important part and member of the Kingdom.
But the point which made me worried the most was why the King of Aham's is here in the States! As much as I know he was oversees for some business meeting, yet I was sure that he won't be leaving me alone anytime time soon, cause after all I'm his future Queen and besides I'm his thus promised wife's daughter. He won't bulge to leave me alone even if I request to, surely he can't leave his future queen without any assistance was a matter of fact I was sure of.
"Sid, I came across Mr Vridhaan Aham on the highway, you very well know where to find me after this", I said quickly as possible.
"Oh shit Sherlock's! What the hell he is doing there, never mind see you at the Aham's place by an hour" with that he cut off the call.
I glanced at the King of Aham's as he neared towards me,
"Princess Kiara, how strange is it to find you out here in the middle of a highway, that too in such a state and without any assistance", said the cold voice of Mr Vridhaan, as he accessed my illicit state.
"King Vridhaan, it's surprising enough to meet you too. I wasn't expecting you to be near the State's, after all as much as I'm aware of, you were out for some top secret business of Millensh" I played my cards cautiously, cause no way in the hell I'm going to let this men standing in front of me intimidate my last bits of self esteem, King or not he has to bow down to me one day or other, I have to make a strong image of myself as the Queen of Millensh.
"The meeting was postponed princess, besides I'm here for my personal reasons. Though it won't be right for me to question you this, but may I know what you're doing in the middle of the night in such a stranded highway, as much as I know girls from good houses don't roam around at this hour of night" He said curtly , as I bit back my tongue stopping myself to insult the Men standing in front of me.
"I'm here for my personal reasons too, now if you don't mind can we just move out of this place King Vridhaan, I guess we already had a lot of conversation for the day or I say rather night" I sloppily yet confidently, slipped myself into the black Suv, nevertheless Mr Vridhaan followed me silently, but his raised eye brows and curious dark eyes gave away the hint about what's going inside his head.
"You're coming along with me, or do you want me to drop you somewhere else princess" asked King Vridhaan as he started the car.
I mentally thought about the options I'm left with, going back to my apartment would be risky enough, cause who knows as soon as I reach there the Trystine family would be ready to welcome me with sticks and bamboos.
"You do have a house here in the city don't you Mr Vridhaan, it would be really generous of you to let me stay at your place for a while, until my friend Sid comes to pick me up" I chipped in my bargain.
"Sid as in that prince boy of Rathore's what's his name again Siddharth I guess, how marvellous name indeed. After all he was named after his great grandfather, don't you think nowadays its a common practice to name children after their forefathers" said Mr Vridhaan as I can clearly notice that something is going inside his head, nevertheless he continued his talks.
"The house Aham's welcomes the future queen of Millensh with open arms, but there will be some of my family members too I hope you don't mind them" said Mr Vridhaan.
As soon as I heard of Mr Vridhaan mentioning about his family members, I was all too aware of the delicacy of my situation. You see Aham's though are the most trusted one's of the House, they have this dark reputation of being cold blooded assassins of The house, but it was during the old times, things certainly would have changed now.
But the fact that Mr Vridhaan mentioned about his family members, really perked up my curiosity. As much as I know the actual royal family of Aham consist of Mr Vridhaan and his big brother Zenthus Aham and his wife Arina Aham, both Zethus and Arina died years ago, leaving the crown in the hands of Mr Vridhaan, as of their sister Valeria she is married off to some of the cousins of Sid. Nevertheless the only surviving members of Actual royal Family of Aham are Mr Vridhaan and his mother Zelda Aham.
I wonder whether the ex queen of Aham's Mrs Zelda has returned back.
We finally reached his place, it was an old vintage house, with a single housekeeper, I wonder why Ahams have so less people surrounding them or is it related of them being mysterious I wonder.....
"How many cubes" asked King Vridhaan as we were currently sitting by the fire place, having a cup of tea.
"Two please" I said, as I continued scanning the house, it was awfully silent.
"Lewis, where's prince? Tell him to come downstairs right now, we have got an important guest whom he should meet", said Mr Vridhaan to the old housekeeper, to which he nodded his head and silently went upstairs.
If I'm correct, King Vridhaan mentioned a prince, I doubt he meant an Aham because he isn't married, and I never ever heard of a prince of Aham, everyone thought that this would be the last lineage for the Ahams.
I was really curious to know about this unnamed prince.
By the time, King Vridhaan handed me the cup of tea, as I held it out in my hand ready to take a small sip.
But my attention was ventured away to this new voice in the house.
"Uncle" as soon as I heard that word I turned around and looked at the person, the cup of tea slipped off my hands as soon as I realised who was standing in front of me, my hands shivering, my eyes wide and anger inside my head.
There stands in front of me with button down shirt and navy blue blazer, hair perfectly styled up and with the same grey piercing eyes, staring right into my soul, with no regrets stands Zenith.
Surely money can do wonders, as I stare at a total stranger yet with the similar face, he was different. His once ragged jeans are now changed into his black trousers, no longer he is the Zenith I know exist there. His eyes held this cold stare towards me, yet I wonder what made him hide so much from everybody.
I thought Zenith was homeless, I thought he was some street brat, or something wild enough, for Christ sake! He is involved in gangs and shit lot of stuff, yet here he is wearing the mask covering his all lies. I wonder whether that was his real mask or this is it.
"Princess Kiara, meet my nephew and the first prince of Aham's Alexus Zenith Aham" and hearing those words were enough, I was already on my feet.
As he looked at me amusingly wearing that confident smile, which I rather doubt he will continue to wear as soon as I start asking him the questions.
Now I understand it properly, it's all connected, now I understand how Zenith or rather I say Alexus is connected with Maya Dello's case. Zenith, I can't believe myself, he lied to me, that means he very well knew about me right from the beginning, but why we never met in past, why he is living here alone and not with us back in Millensh, so many questions and I was certain to ask him all.
"Svāgatam,bhavatā saha saṃyogaḥ santoṣakaraḥ, mama nama Alexus Zenith Aham"
(Welcome, pleased to meet you, my name is Alexus Zenith Aham)
Sanskrit flowed like still water from his mouth, with a slight tinge of his Caucasian accent, nevertheless he tried to communicate with me in Sanskrit I must say, it was impressive .
"śaucālayaḥ kutrāsti (Where's the washroom)" my straight answer or rather I say elude question made him curious. Yet I don't care, cause this is really hard to digest, most certainly I needed some fresh air.
"Navagacchami (I don't understand)" he said confused, but I shrugged him off and went straight towards the search of the washroom. Leaving a furious Zenith back in hall.
"kṛpayā kṣamyatām (Excuse me)" I quickly hushed in Sanskrit as I walked past him, nevertheless that idiot followed me.
"Kiara, where are you going? Are you trying to run away from me" sarcasm dripped his every word as he spoke; nevertheless I stopped dead in my steps contemplating whether to reply to his elude initiatives which wanted some reaction out of me.
"Scared huh? Come on don't act as if you haven't met a prince before. Do you act the same way with every one you meet. No wonder that Prince of Dionar what's his name again Rayansh right, he rejected you for not being a strong women accepting the truth" He snorted a laugh at me by leaning towards one of the walls of the corridor we're in.
But his words pierced like knife, and yet he tested my patience. A fool he is for sure, I was making this sure that I don't kill him right this instance but yet he tested my limits. Like hell everyone was worried about Zenith, everyone thought he was some kind of charity case, a poor guy with no one around. Yet he has such an amazing life, or may I say a title of being the first Prince of Aham that he can easily flaunt back in Elite high, yet he chooses to be a commoner I wondered why.
With as swift move, removing the dagger from my waist band, which I always tuck at times of crises, I held him by his throat.
"Tat tubhyam iccha prati myrati"
(Do you want to die?)
I barked at him, as his face now looks more stoic then before, I took him completely off guard. But I underestimated him, after all he was the future King of Aham's, surely he had some skills by his side, for he lasted so long alone.
With one move, he grabbed me by my arms, as he easily dodged my sharp move, as he held himself behind me, caging my arms in his, as I was pushed back on his hard chest.
"I would love to chit chat with you in that language, but trust me girl Sanskrit isn't the language to say such sinful, nevertheless you won't gain anything by killing me" he literally whispered in my ear, as I shuddered in his hold. Finally releasing me, I came face to face to him again, as I continued.
"You do understand that I need answers from you Zenith, why have you hidden your identity from me and what is the reason that we never met then that day" I asked him as he looked at me amusingly, wearing a ghost of smile on his plump lips. I wonder what kind of story he is cooking up this time.
"Are you sure you'll be able to hold the truth princess" as soon as he said that I snarled back a reply "Don't you dare call me that, besides you don't worry about me accepting the truth I'll be just fine Zenith"
"So are we in terms of middle names now, what's your middle name princess. Ahh Matheli I guess" as soon as I heard him speak my mother's name which was also my middle name, I remembered him introducing himself as Alexus. Indeed a princely named suited for someone of his status. But honestly I liked Zenith better. Now that I notice his middle name comes from his grandfather late King Zenith Aham. That explains pretty much everything.
"Look Zenith if you're trying to make me speak your first name, that can't be happening anytime soon, this lie you have created yourself, so just live with it. Cause it will take time, besides I want to know why are you here and not with us back in Millensh" I finally asked him as he stroked his fingers through his chin, thinking deeply.
"Before answering that, do you know the history of the legends' of Aham's. It was said that many years ago there was a queen of Millensh, perhaps the first queen of Millensh just like you, her name was Krisantham Millenrai, she was destined to be queen of Millensh, but her journey towards the throne wasn't easy, there were rebellions, as no one wanted to be ruled under a women. Even though Krisantham was a young strong woman, no one respected her. But she had this three of her best friends by her side, named as Abacus Aham, Sanit Rathore and Ramis Dionar. When the Kingdom started the rebellion against their own future queen do you know what they did?"
Asked Zenith, as I very well heard this folk tale, I always thought that this was some kind of myth, yet the future looks so much similar to that, this time maybe the Kingdom isn't rebelling against the queen, but the queen herself is in the rebellion for sure. Yet I dread the story's end, cause it was shitty war during Queen Krisantham Millenrai's reign.
"Sanit Rathore, devised a plan to kill all her enemies, Ramis Dionar fought a war against commoner for his queen and-" Yet I dread the last words, the sins Abacus Aham did was unforgivable.
"And-" said Zenith as he motivated me to continue further.
"And Abacus Aham killed Krisantham Aham's whole Royal family" I finally said those words, as my heart sinked for that women , poor woman in order to rule further she needed to sacrifice her whole family.
"Yes, Abacus Aham my fore-father killed her whole family and you know why he did that, he did that because he wanted Krisantham to rule the Millensh, and by eliminating her whole family means eliminating any competitors for the throne, in short he made her job easy" As soon as he said that I looked at his face, he surely looks lunatic as his grey eyes were a shade darker which explains the pride in it.
"But don't you think that was wrong, don't you think Abacus Aham did something sinful, surely Krisantham Millenrai felt remorse towards him" I put forth my thoughts to which Zenith came towards me as he straight walked towards my direction disturbing my own bubble of privacy, as I started walking backwards till me back hit the wall, being caged by one of his arms.
"Krisantham was infuriated by him, she hated him, like hell she despised him a lot. But it was his duty to eliminate his queen's potential enemies and for that I respect him. Aham's for centuries have known many secrets of this world, though they hide behind the mystery and darkness they surely were nearer towards the truth. So do you understand why we Aham's are always hiding and mysterious, we do have a job and we do take our job seriously. Trust me Kiara, being the next heir of Aham's I can literally kill for you" at his final words, I gasped as I looked up at his dark grey eye's but he didn't stood there for a second anymore as he retrieved away from me, leaving me alone in the corridors with the haunting story of the Legend of Ahams.
Alexus Zenith Aham, how far you can go for me I wondered.
