Kaya looked away. She found it wierd to look into her eyes for too long..as if she'll gobble her up with that gaze. It was too intense for her continue looking at her.
"Show me." Arya said pointing at the phone with her gaze.
Kaya looked up and her face again beemed with a smile, "interesting stuff?"
"Yeah."
Kaya joined her and moved to the bed to show her the interesting stuff'.
There was no internet available at the place and she could only use camera, or the music which was already there.
But wait?! For the princess even to listen to music from a wierd box would be new and fascinating right?
Kaya grinned. She opened her camera and said while looking at the screen" you can look at yourself in this"
Kaya moved closer to arya and their shoulder brushed slightly. Arya noticed that right away but didn't said anything as Kaya was too busy showing her the box.
"So what? Even that mirror can do that! Infact it's much bigger than this dabba!( Box) "
Kaya raised her eyebrows as her lips squinted up in a smile. " Well I'm sure it can't click a photo of us right?" The click sound went off.
Arya's gaze was fixated on the screen. She gradually made a movement with her hand. The picture didn't move.
She tilted her neck.
Same
The piture didn't move again.
Her eyes went wide...she was not moving in a mirror like when in actual she was. ...!!!
"Haye ! Yeh kya cheez hai?"( What the hell is this)
Kaya squealed. Meanwhile Arya jumped down the bed, exited the room and closed the door behind her.
....'did it scared her to the point that she ran away?' Kaya smiled. She laid back on the bed. Just as her back touched the pillow, the door opened and there stood a still puzzled Arya.
"Show it to me now!" She shouted, without stepping a foot inside.
Kaya was confused. Did she thought that if she went away for some time the 'so called mirror would be back to its senses?!"
"Here you go."
Arya stepped forward with quick steps and slowed down when her eyes fell on the screen. "Suna hai humne iske bare me! Aapne humari aatma is aine me kaid kardi hai, aap kala jaadu karti hai na!?" ( I have heard about something like this, you have ....trapped my soul in this mirror. You must ingage yourself in black magic right?)
She scream scolded her.
"Hahaha" Kaya burst into laughters. The princess was too cute for her to not laugh at her.
"What do you mean? Are you not involved?"
"Obviously I'm not,, it's just one of the very amazing things it can do. Look at this picture. It stays like this till we want it to be.. and not just one you can click many pictures and save them so that you can look at them later."
"Later? When ever I want?" Arya asked, still not sure whether to believe her or not..
"Yes yes, come here we will take our picture. "
Arya glanced at the phone and back at Kaya... It's alright... It's fine. Make sure to not look at the screen directly and soul won't go anywhere.
Kaya laughed again. Her hand snakes around arya's shoulder as she poses for the selfie.
*Click*
"Kaya ji. The prince wants to see you. Right now."Â The head maid of the mansion came to announce the order from the young prince.
Kaya looked at Arya, whose smiled disappeared listening to the maid's word.
" My brother is calling you. You must not defy him...he won't appreciate that.." arya said with a straight face.
Kaya sighed, " your brother and his tantrum, I told him not to come after me...such a annoying bastard" Kaya Said the last few words to herself, making sure that the princess doesn't hear her.
As she left Arya kept staring at her dupatta which was touching the ground slightly.
-----
*Knock knock*
"Come in!" Came a excited voice and Kaya rolled her eyes mentally. The guards opened the door for her to enter.
She analysed the room, it was similar to the room which was made for her. Every object in the room was according to his tastes, no doubt she felt that her room was a bit too strict looking.
There at the fareaway end near at the window stood the prince.
"The view from here is great, don't you think so rani sa? "
His voice was calm very calm. She did for second tried to take a glance of the view but his broad shoulder blocked it very efficiently.
"Why did you call me here?" Kaya decided to jump to the point.
"Why else would i? Obviously to give you something." He turned around to face her with a gorgeous smile.
She would have definitely melt for it, if it was not for his personality.
"Whatever it may be, I do not wish for anything more from you, you have already done too much for us." There was sarcasm which laced her words. But it was also true that her mind was at peace, now her mother wouldn't have to suffer too much and there will be people around her to take care of her mother now.
This was something which worried her at all since she believed that she won't be staying here for too long anyway.
" Don't think of it as a favour...it's a gift that I got made for you from a very faraway place. It's priceless and not even the greatest of the Rani would have ever seen something so beautiful."
Now she was actually curious....what is it??
Seeing her eyes gleam, rudra smiled and clapped his hand twice, a man dressed too nicely came with a tray covered with a cloth on which laid a jewellery like box.
He stepped towards her with the box in his hand.
As soon as her eyes fell on the gem when the box opened up, she felt her soul leaving her body...
It was a big damn glossy diamond necklace.
" Turn around"
"Huh?"
"Turn around rani sa"
"But why..?" Her eyes were glued on the shiny thing and only broke away when he took it in his hand.
He held her hand and dragged her to the dressing corner and made her sit down on a cushioned stool.
"Wait.." she tried to stop him but he had already placed it on her neck.
He bent till his face was right next to hers. In front of them was their reflection. Them together.
Alone in the room.
As he stared at her he said, slowly whispering into her ear. "As soon as you wear this...know it Kaya, that you ...become mine."
Kaya sat there staring right at him, her smile, excitement everything disappeared.
"No"
Her lips parted to say something. But were soon shut down when his lips brushed over her skin.
His hand groped her shoulder and held her in place, his warm breath slid over her skin.
Kaya's eyes widened when she realised what was happening to her.
He was going wild...and was touching her as if there was no tomorrow.
"I said you are mine didn't i? Just submit to me now..." He growled softly in a low voice. There gaze met again in the reflection.
