the strings that bind us..

chapter 1: The journey.

3 years later.....

" I have to leave before sunset... My maids will start searching for me and later inform it to my mother..!!I could feel his finger circling my cheeks.. Its been 2 years since we got together.. Well technically no one said anything to each other but we are in a mutual understanding.... He never even told me that he loves me.. Neither did I but still.. I'm a girl..!!

"you wont get caught.... Don't worry..."

Its the blooming season ,I wanted to spend time in the orchids.... I was lying on his lap while he had his back on to a tree.

We were far from the city.... Couldn't risk getting caught..!?

"i am leaving to Sicily tomorrow..."he didn't tell anything. I continued "ill be back in four to five day....."he was still calm." say something"

" I don't have a good feeling about this trip. Why so sudden??"

"in the sense..??"

"i don't like u going anywhere , especially where I cant reach you..."I could understand how much he loves me just by that..

" i am going with my parents.. not alone.. Be calm.."

He was swirling the wind around us along with the fallen petals... Its looked so good.. No wonder they tell magic reflects ones inner self....his affinity is of the wind....

It was very beautiful around us. the cool breeze, the light atmosphere. I slowly stood up and walked towards a puddle near by.

" watch this.." I slowly touched the water puddle near me. And.. whoosh I swirled the water into a circular tunnel and splash onto him...

" you just did not do that..!!"

" oh I just did..!!"he started running behind me... Before he could catch me I was on rafe...

" wait... Wait...Susanna" I was already far away.

I was gonna miss him.. I wish I could tell my parents about Philip... he is all I can think of these days. I'm definitely not a sucker for romance but he is different in my life.

After leaving rafe in the stable, I immediately climbed back into my room and was under the blanket and wait for it... THUD..!!

" Julia locking yourself up in room is not going to change my mind..??"my mother is an arrogant lady, well at least in my point of view. She is maybe 'mother love' to our country but to me she show her 'the other side'... Our country always has had fierce women leader, like my grandma Her highness Tiara Julia after whom I way named. My mother is said to be an exception . Her heart shaped face and raven black hair just like mine . She always carries herself around with effortless grace. I wish I could have that attribute of her rather than my fathers clumsiness..

Well she's mother terror to me, strict and stern. she should learn to give her daughter a break first before thinking about others.

"yes mother i am up..!!"I got off the bed effortlessly acting as if I just woke up..

" Julia why are your clothes dirty..!!"oh man..

" no mother. I went to the stables to feed rafe"i wish she would leave it there..!!!

" whatever...... Get ready!! We are leaving tonight... "

"what..??"no..!!" I thought of meeting Philip once more before leaving " I thought we leave tomorrow evening.?"

" well your father thought it would be better if we leave tonight"

"no.!!!! Let me talk to papa" I lashed out of my room.
