That night I went out with Zen. He took me to a beautiful park nearby. There were not much people and it was a lovely night. The sky was full of stars.

Zee-> Look at those stars...aren't they awesome?!

Zen-> Absolutely not.

Zee-> Huh?!

Zen-> Actually they're amazen!!

He said with a wink and I giggled.

Zee-> Zen?!

Zen-> Hmm?

Zee-> You never said me that your family is royal. I get to know that from Edward. Actually I should be calling you "Prince Zen".

Zen-> No...please don't. Actually I don't like to be called a "prince". I love to be normal. So please don't call me that. Besides we don't have any power, the government is the one having control over everybody and everything.

Zee-> Hmm I know but the people over here pay you respect as a royal family.

Zen-> Yeah because our ancestors ruled here once and they were kind rulers...Ohh I almost forgot to tell ya.

Zee-> What's it about?!

Zen-> Niel and Kath.

Zee-> Huh?!

Zen-> Yes..today I talked with Niel. He said that he knew Kath since they were 15...and...he showed me this locket.

Zen showed me the same locket Kath showed me earlier.

Zee-> Hmm. I know Zen.

I explained him the whole matter.

Zen-> Hmm..I also think that it's a misunderstanding. Niel is not like that and he doesn't have a girlfriend also...no no...it's surely a conspiracy. Ok we'll find it out together.

Zee-> Ok Zen.

I smiled.

Zen-> Are you hungry?

Zee-> Hmm just a little.

Zen clapped two times and from nowhere his servant came.

Zen-> Bring us food.

The servant went away. I was surprised.

Zee-> Huh?! Where from he came?

Zen-> Hahaha..he was here. Actually I brought him here for this work only.

Zee-> Ohh!

The servant brought us food and then Zen ordered him that he should go back to the palace. The food was really very much tasty. We both enjoyed it.

Zen-> So?! Did you like all these?

Zee-> They're all amazen. I shall never forget this day.

Zen smiled. It was probably the brightest and charming smile I've ever seen.

Zen-> By the way, did you enjoy your tour to Bhangarh yesterday?

Zee-> Hmm I did and we encountered Ratnavati too.

I explained him the whole story.

Zen-> Omg..I'm glad that you're safe. And that sadhu he'll surely help you a lot in this.

I stood up, stared at the sky and said.

Zee-> Z-Zen..I'm sorry. I-I'm really really sorry for not believing you earlier and I said you that you and Mr. Woodworth imagine things and-

Suddenly I found his hands wrapped around my waist. He whispered.

Zen-> Don't be sorry. I knew it that you would believe us someday. And it's natural not to believe in these things at first....leave all these now...will you dance?!

Zee-> Sure!

I blushed...and we danced under the sky. The nature seemed to be playing music for us.

Zen-> I wanna tell you something.

He whispered while dancing....he was very close to me.

Zee-> What is it?!

Zen-> I love you!

I was shocked...I was happy...I didn't know how to react! I stared at him.

Zee-> Z-Zen?!........you know it...that we can't be together...you're a prince ....I'm a normal girl...besides after saving Bhangarh I will have return-

Zen-> Shhhhh! I know! But at least don't say that you can't be with me because I'm a prince...I already repent the fact....but I know...you love me as well...you're just not admitting...

He smiled.

Zen-> But I'll wait dearest...I'll wait....

He looked into my eyes and said...I still didn't know how to react...I was again just staring at his beautiful eyes.

Zen-> Let's sit here and not talk about it anymore.

He sighed. I was upset.

Zen-> Tell me one thing Zee, how come you weren't afraid of Ratnavati?

Zee-> I-I don't know...actually at first I was afraid then later I-I felt a strange power within me. I-I can't explain it....

Zen-> I know that power..that feeling.

Zee-> Really?

Zen-> Hmm.

Then we lied on the grass and stared at the sky...there were uncountable stars. It seemed like someone has spread sparkle. It was an amazing view.

......

Zee-> hmm?! Did I fall asleep?!.......Awww he's looking so cute while sleeping......I-I actually love you too Zen...but its better for you and me both if we don't come so close...because we'll have to part.

I sighed....Suddenly I heard a strange noise...I looked at the sky and....

Zee-> Z-ZEN...ZEN...WAKE UP....

Zen-> WOAH!! IS EVERYTHING ALRIGHT ZEE?!

Zee-> Z-ZEN...W-WHAT'S T-THAT?

I pointed towards the sky and he looked.

Zen-> I-I don't know...omg...such d-dark clouds over the fort a-and our p-palace?!

Zee-> A-and there's something red twinkling f-from in between t-the clouds it's looking like ey-e-eyes of a w-witch.

Zen-> Zee lets go we've to return to the palace. I think s-something's wrong there.

Zee-> Sure.

We returned to the Woodworth Palace. We opened the door. It was totally dark and quite inside. No one was there. We were well aware that there was surely something wrong. Zen started to check every room. I went upstairs to make sure that Kath was fine. But there was no one in the room. Suddenly I heard Zen screaming, I rushed down.

Zee-> W-WHAT'S WRONG ZEN?!

Zen-> DAD?! DAD WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU? D-DAD WAKE UP..DAD?!

Woodworth-> A-aahh...o-ohh Zen,,,Z-Zee I-I'm g-glad that you both-ahhh re-turned....you've g-got very le-ss time...ahhh. B-Be c-carefull....M-My b-boy h-here's t-the key to-

It was a golden brown key and it seemed to be old. Suddenly we heard an evil laughter. We were distracted for a while then again when we turned we found that Mr. Woodworth was dead.

Zen-> No...nooooo...it c-can't h-happen...DAD?!

Zen was crying. I sat beside him keeping a hand on his shoulder....tears fell from my eyes. Just as a little boy holds his mom tightly and cries if something terrible happens to him, he held me tightly and cried his heart out....I patted on his back...and held the back of his head...his hair was so soft and smooth. Tears rolled down from my eyes too.

Zee-> Zen?!

Zen-> Zee...I-I lost him....

Zee-> Zen....I understand...I-I am here for you, dear.....try to control yourself Zen....everything will be fine....we will make everything fine...It's not the time for us to cry, Zen...we have to figure it out what's wrong here and how did Mr. Woodworth die an unnatural death...

Zen-> Y-yes...you are right...whoever did this will not be spared...Yes I shouldn't cry...right...if I cry, dad will not be happy...I-I promise you dad...I'll not spare your murderer.

He said with tears rolling down his gorgeous red swollen eyes and it hurt me somewhere.

Zee-> That's great Zen....here...keep this key with you.

I handed him the key Mr. Woodworth had given him. He kept that key in his pocket.

Zen-> S-SER-VANTS!....SERVANTSSSS!

He shouted with lump in his throat...but no answer.

Zee-> Let me see...where they are...you don't have to shout....but will you be fine alone?!

Zen-> Hmm...

I was worried about him but still I left him alone. I went out to find servants. While I was searching for them, I found her laying in front of a closed room.

Zee-> Oh my god....KATH?! Kath...why are you sleeping here?!

Kath was not waking up...somehow I dragged her to the drawing room and put her on the couch.

Zee-> Oh my god..why isn't she waking...a-and what's happening here?! How'd Mr. Woodworth die?? And where are the servants and maids?
