Her eyes wondered in the clear blue sky as her thoughts fly back at the seen after that crazy Princess Aabha's party.

Sandhya can't help but stared at Princess Bida. The first princess is concentrate on putting some medicine on her bruises that she can freely assess her.

         Her hair is long and straight. Her skin is not white but not black, creamy white to be precise. Her eyes are caramel brown.

         Her eyes went up to her foolish brother who stared fondly at gentle princess. If her imagination was right, she can see hearts form in the eyes of Jamal while gazing at the concentrated princess.

A smile form on her lips. Her brother is the proof that not all men likes challenging woman like Princess Aabha.

Now I can see why the ML fell in love with the first princess in the first life of Princess Aabha. Her heart is pure and gentle like Sul Rang. I can't see any glint wickedness in her eyes.

"Are you sure that you're not going to eat her? Because by the looks you gave, I thought you're a reincarnation of a snake wanted to devour her", Sandhya teased her upright brother.

Jamal's eyes as his cheeks blushed. "Stop it! Don't disrespect the princess!"

Sandhya giggles as she hid herself on Princess Bida's back.

"Look Princess Bida. My brother always bully me. Can you give me justice?" She flutter her long eyelashes like butterfly wings. Making a puppy look but more on mocking look from Jamal's view.

    He really spoiled his sister too much. Now he was hit by the stone he gave to his sister.

Instead of making an angry look, Princess Bida laughs as she patted the little girl's head.

"I know I'm not your sister but don't shame your brother in front of other. Be good and don't gave him headaches in the future, okay?"

Sandhya pouted. But I don't have a choice in the future. I would still give him headaches, that's siblings do.

"Okay", she said as she looked to her blushing brother nodding his head profusely.

Sandhya laughs to herself.

"Something happened? You seem to be brighten up than usual", Kairav smiled at her as he sat beside her.

"Nothing. I was just thinking when we'll going to marry," she smiled back at him cheekily.

"Err." Kairav coughs. Remembering the old butler warnings to him about being with Sandhya. He can't help but flinch in the old man's word. For the long time that he works for him it was the first time that the old man scold him in being flirty with a young girl. He even accused him of being pedophile. But the old Butler has a point, he was old and Sandhya were a kid. In the future, Sandhya might even like someone to her age not some living fossil like him.

"Let's not talk about that. When you're old enough, you'll know what your doing. For now, you have to continue to grow so you could find a better and suitable man for you in the future", he said in low voice, ignoring the pain in his chest.

Sandhya frowned. "Did something wrong happened?"

"Nothing. I just don't want you to get hurt because when I found the Miracle White Lotus, I will leave this world behind like I always want to", he confessed unknowingly.

Sandhya smile sadly, this was her husband alright, no need to get confused over the male lead. Confessing to her even without his knowledge on it. She pick up a small pebble and throw it in the air. She let out small laugh when the pebble hit Kairav's head. "Even you live for hundred of years being alone, in your departing, I promise that wouldn't be the case. I won't allow it"

Kairav nod putting the weigh, that starting to form inside his heart, aside. But if he only knew what it meant in the future, he wouldn't ignore it in this moment. If he only knew.
