KAIRA POV
🍁

As we entered inside the theater, I was just shocked. I was totally amazed after seeing the responce. There was a huge crowd, literally, I hadn't expected that much audience at all.

We were eagerly started looking for few vaccant seats because theater was almost full. Hopefully we got few vacant seats in the middle row. Cloud seated in the outer most chair to the right and I was beside him, Jennifer and Archer were settled to next me and Jenny and Derek were in the last.

I looked around.

"Ohh my god! It's..it's beyond my expectation".

"Wow! Impressive!! Isn't it?". I looked over Cloud with a amazed smile.

Cloud sank into his seat and faced me.
"Ughh! I'm not".

"I even didn't want to be here. I just can't stand the melodrama and all". He gave me only a monotonous responses.

He lightly rubbed his forehead in frustration. "God! How will I handle it? They all are so boring...I don't like at all". He sounded really irritated.

I giggled on his melodrama comment. Somehow managed between my laugh. "So In your world you do have theaters l..like us".

He rolled his eyes, said in same irritated tone."No! But yes, often people do play act in our palace to entertain others on some occasions, events and fests".

I couldn't stop my smile, I was enjoying his funny annoyed expressions. It was totally new side of him, I have never seen before.

He again looked at me with his annoying look......."hahaha , Its funny to you. Isn't it?"

I shook my head but I was still laughing.

"God! Why you all girls like these happy melodrama, I don't get it? A Hero and A heroine, lots of melodrama and then happily ever after"

"Why?"

"You know, Zinta also like these drama. She is very stubborn girl and doesn't spare me, if there is any melodrama playing in our palace. She forcefully make me to go with her and watch".

He raised his hand in the air, ironically. " The great melodrama". He sneered.

My smile dropped right there, I felt my stomach flipped. A felt like someone stabbed into my heart with a sharp knife. I didn't know it was jealousy, sadness or insecurity or something else. But it was intense and I could feel inside me.

I clinched my Jaws and quietly looked back at the stage.

"What happened now? Why you pull a long face". Cloud frawned at me.

I didn't say anything. I didn't look at him, I just keep looking at the stage.

He leaned towards me and wave his hand infront of my face. "Hye, what happened Kaira?"

I rolled my eyes towards him, I sadly smiled. "Nothing. And it's not a melodrama".

"Really! Then what else?" Some lines formed on his forehead in confusion.

I looked back at the stage.

"First I'm not going to crush your curiosity. And second you have to watch the whole show with me".

"Girls always same, stubborn and mysterious". He huffed and slumped into his seat.

Soon Lights turned off and the huge navey blue curtain pulled aside and the show began.

I genuinely did not expect that much effort from my culture club. Every thing was well organized, stunning costum, dialogues delivery, wonderful background music and visually captivating set.

Everyone was playing fantastic job in their characters and I was really surprised to see Max in the Romeo's roles. He was looking handsome and I'm really impressed by his performances, he was really good in acting. I didn't know before.

Show was spectacular even so I didn't concentrate. My mind was keep thinking about Zinta, again and again. Weakening my faith on my love and dreams but my heart was not ready to lose hopes.

I slowly leaned forward on my seat, my eyes found its way to catch a glimpse of Cloud. He seemed totally absorb, didn't notice my stare. He didn't look once at me and that's made me uneasy that made me unhappy. His eyes were glued over the stage, didn't leave for a minute .

But in his eyes, there were unfamiliar notions, I could say very clearly by the look on his face. There was something which perhaps made him faze. I didn't know what was that which ailing him but I was badly wanted to know.

I shiged, I felt tired with my inside battle. I closed my eyes and ran my hands over my face.

I didn't know what was exactly in his mind. I didn't know What he was thinking. I didn't know What exactly he was thinking about.. Me.

I slumped against my seat and thought.

"Was he thinking me as A poor girl whom he just has to save because I'm helpless and he did a promise to protect me or he really want to save me because.."

I swallowed the lump in my throat.

I was like dwelling between my heart and mind, I was like meddling between my dreams and reality.

Background music also played its part well, all my dull feeling came over me and my emotions became more heavy and intense.

And when the tragic part of the story started.

It seemed my vision become blurry and I was freezed at my place for a while. It was just like before, similar situation when I experienced on the dining table and in the classroom.

Some muzzy pictures flashed inside my head.

The sharp sound of swords and music driving me crazy and felt a pounding headache in my head.

I closed my ears and bend my head down. I was not feeling Okey.

I heard a soft voice that pull me back into reality. Someone was calling my name, when I straightened back on my seat. I found it was Cloud.

"Are you alright kaira?" He asked me with a great concern.

"No".

"I'm not ". I said, looking into his eyes.

"If you don't then we can go outside". Cloud motioned me to stood up.

I nodded and we quitely walked outside the theater.

●°•°~◇◇◇◇◇~°•°●●°•°

We were in the garden, thousands of stars twinkling in the sky along with a shining full moon. Wind was chilled and filled with aroma. I could smell the pleasent aroma of flowers which were shedding from trees lined around the garden.

Trees were decorated with blue lights and magically enhancing the surrounding beauty. I looked around and hugged my hands and took a deep breath and felt the fresh air.

I saw Cloud took off his jacket, I know what he was doing but I didn't expect from him but when he put his jacket over my shoulder. I was...I was totally overwhelmed with his gesture.

"It's freezing outside, you may catch a cold. But I think, it's beautiful night. Isn't it". He smiled.

I smiled back and thanked him.

We were sitting on the grassy ground, Cloud was leaning back on his hand and I was quitely sitting there. I could smell his nice Cologne, I pull his jacket closed to me and looked in the sky.

"Cloud can I ask you something"

"Sure". He turned and casually said.

"If I'm not wrong then you were the one who saved me when I was attacked by that car".

He was gasped with my question...."Y..yes but why are asking me now".

"No I just wondering.. I mean, I mean why didn't you stay by side when I woke up"

"Well, because I was not ready to involve myself". He looked in the sky and truthfully said.

"Ohh"

"And it was you who burnt and crushed the car. Aren't you".

"Yes, it was me". Cloud muttered.

"But how come I got unconscious, what stuff you had used"

He guffawed at my words. "Kaira, you asked so many questions. Let me breath. Well.. I didn't use any stuff while I just casted a spell on you".

"O..okey"

"But bus was behind the car then why nobody saw you"

He sighed. "They saw us but we erased their memories"

"Wh..what...we"

He leaned on his both hands. "Yes. Archer was also there but he was at a far distance. And no one remember me because he used his magic. His speare can produce such waves that can effect your mind and erase your recent memories".

"W..wow... It's great power but dangerous"

"Yeah". Cloud said.

I plucked some grass and I was playing with it.

"So do you know I was behind you, not only in the bus but also in your way to home. Cloud smiled lightly.

I blinked few times.

"What"

I..I was surprised.

"Y..you were"

He noded, smiled deeply and dimple appeared on his cheeks.

"Thats good"

" What " He laughed.

"Nothing"

He lay down on the ground and closed his eyes.

I again asked.

"Cloud I'm curious for one more thing , can I ask you "

He placed one hand beneath his head. "do I have any option".

"You are an obedient prince "
I teased him.

And a smirk trailed on his lips.

"Well when warlock attacked us, they damaged our college building. So why there is no chaos, complaint or any rumor.

His eyes were still closed. "Windalen . He might be the one who covered the whole damage, I guess ".

"Ohh, I see....being a gaurdian it's really amazing"

"No! its not that amazing". Cloud clinched his jaws.

I didn't reply him but I thought.

"Why not because if I were not an gaurdian, I never able to meet you".

I looked at his perfect face. I thought.

"When you look at me, there is something in your eyes that make me trust you, that make me feel like as if time just stops"

"When you smile and dimples appears on your cheeks. It's like, all my inside battle faded somewhere and soothing my mind".

I quitely looked back at the full moon.

"I wonder, What magic you have casted on me Cloud but I loved it and I always want to be under your spell.. The rest of my life".
