Nandini's POV
How can a person be so mean..?? He last night purposely threw a tray full of glasses and water filled jug just to wake me up and irritate me. He- he wants me to stay in the same room with him, when all the other maids stays in the given quarter.
Does he not know our cultural norms and order.?? Does he not know, that no man and woman can stay together unless they are married?? Just because you are a king, you will end up doing whatever comes in your mind ??!!
And what's with the term SLAVE , he can just call me by my name itself, I have a name ....but no..... he purposely emphasises the word SLAAAVE to call me .
And whatever he did in the freshroom was so not acceptable . He's such an EVIL.
He wants me to assist him during his bath. It's - its - it's sooo uncomfortable being a girl to touch an unknown man.
What the hell??.....
Weren't those girl doing the same?? ..... They were way better then me .....they were experienced, weren't they?? . But No. He unnecessarily made me do it.
Has he not made me his hostage?? Has he not made me a slave ?? Has he not made me clean and tidy up his room, sweep and mop the floor, take his clothes for laundry and what not. Still he searches more ways to torment me. Whatever he has done, had it not been enough for him ??
Moreover... I -- I don't even know the reason why he hates my father and me. My father has never ever involved me into any kingdom matters, nor did he ever told me any details about his enemies. I am completely clueless about these two kingdoms past relation history. I want to ask him about it ...but am not sure whether it would be a right thing to do or not.
Whatever it is, I have to go with the flow in this distressful situation... I know my father will come for me , he will save me from all this and I'm just waiting for him ...he will come soon...I KNOW THAT !
" Next time I enter the room, I want these dirty curtains to be changed." He ordered making me jump out of my deep thoughts, startling me a bit.
I was so engrossed in my thoughts that I didn't even realised that I had done the entire room's dusting within no time.
"But Ushaji just changed it yesterday only." I said confusingly looking at him.
"Do as I say." he said commanding me coldly.
Ordering that he left the room and...here.... I am already piled up with lots of other work on my hands and he just ....added one more to it.
〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️
I have never really bothered about a curtain's height ever before in my life, but now here I am, placeing my hands on my hips and looking up to estimate how to remove the curtains from its place.
Obviously, I cannot remove the curtains by flying up there like a bird without any hassle. So for that I have to climb up to meet its height, and to do that, I searched for something which would help me climb up there. That when my eyes fell on a broad heavy chair kept nearby. It took every last ounce of my energy to shift the heavy chair all by myself, which really made me struggle for breath.
I was not sure if I could do this but as the big bad king said earlier ' this room and my needs are your responsibility (mimicking his strong voice ) , so ...I guess, I don't have any another choice left.
Finally shifting this heavy chair near by the window with lot of efforts, I climbed onto it to gain some height to reach up to the window. Then I carefully placed my right foot on the windowsill , holding the side wall and While placing my left one on it I lost a little balance but immediately grabed the side of the window firmly again.
Standing still on it, I raised my hands up and started to slowly remove the curtain. I went so busy doing my work that I didn't even realise that I had already reached on the edge, and with a further slight movement of mine I once again lost my balance and fell.
" Aaāaaaaaa.........." I screamed aloud in fear as I was going to hit the hard floor .
But ..wait -- whattt ???
How can I fall and not get hurt?? ...no pain atall ....what happened ..?? I thought bracing myself with my eyes tight shut.
Opening my eyes I found myself in someone's arm. In- in- SIDDHARTH VEER'S ARMS!!
Did he just saved me from falling ??
I thought looked at him in shock, hanging in the mid air, on his arms and he too looked down at me with his tensed expressions, holding me up in a bridal style.
"How clumsy you are !!??? " he complained and instantly brought his hand down at once, brutally letting me fall on the floor with a thud.
Crashing down, a yelp escaped my throat due to pain caused by the impact which made me
rub my arm with with a moan.
"You are sooo EVIL!!!" I hissed out loud for the first time ever with a sheer disgust in my eyes, in my half lying position and watched him walk away creating a thankful distance between us.
I agree, the pain caused by the fall from his arm was less then the pain I would have gotten by falling from the window, ....but still.... he could have put me down slowly.
"Oh !! Yes ..... I am." He turned back to look down at me from the distance "On the first place I shouldn't have saved you from falling... But please thank my reflexes, and my merciful heart, that I did." Than suddenly he gushed back to my spot, howering over me, making crane my neck up to meet his glare. "After whatever your father has done, you don't deserve any kindness from me." he completed in his poisonous tone
"Then why save me?? ..... You should have let me fall than." I retorted in anger. Forgetting my fear for him for a moment.
"Yes.... I should have." He replied and leaned even more, closing his face to mine. "But the thing is, I don't want my Toy to be dead or broken. And if you are so, then what fun there will be to torture you...??" he answered me back glaring intensely.
After a pause he pulled himself back his straight standing position and continued in his soft but yet commanding tone.
" From next time, there is no need to do any curtain jobs. I'd better leave my expensive curtains in the hands of experts."
Saying that he turned and walked out , clearly not at all bothered to look back to know whether his 'TOY ' was actually broken or not.

Siddharth's POV
Luckily I was there when I saw her losing her balance, and was just about to fall off the window. Does she has no brain ...?? She could have easily asked someone to remove those curtains.
What would have happened if she would have fallen from that height......??
How can a person be so careless.... ??
What if I wouldn't have reached on time..?? Anyway !! .... Like I care. (Eyes rolling up with a head jerk. )
Thinking about that I walked out of the room but halted on the spot remembering about something, and turned back to my room again.
Entering in I found her facing the window, still rubbing her arm and murmuring something. It was not clearly audible but I caught something like 'jerk'.
"What did you say..!!??" I asked to which she immediately stiffen with an unexpected surprise as she didnot see me coming. She must have thought that I was long gone by now and didn't expected me to be here this soon.
She turned slowly to face me ,
"Nnn.. nothing....." and bowed her head a bit to hide her truth revealing angry eyes.
"Okay. Anyway. Just pack my belongings and everything I need. There's an invitation from my friend to visit his place for two days. So ....get to work".
Hearing this her face lit up and a little shade of smile started to play on her lips. It was not too difficult for me to guess, that she was happy about me going away for two days ...... which mean a little vacation for her. So I quickly added up
" Don't worry,.... if I'm going, that doesn't mean you will stay here. Wherever the King goes, his slaves follows him too. And so will you, SLAVE.....".
With that I busted her little cloud of happiness as her face fell while she angrily jerked her head.
"C'mon, get BOTH, of our packings done ....chop chop ..." I deliberately emphasised the word Both and bit the corner of my lips as it was hard to suppress my smirk after watching her annoyed face.
