The Betrayal Story - Part 20

Roopali realized he shared the same feelings she had for him. His eyes revealed his true feelings for her. "Your highness, you stare at my eyes with great intent. What do you see in my eyes ?”, she whispered softly. “I see .. it is filled with immense love and affection and I wonder what did I do to get so much love. Why do you love me so much ?”, he said.

She blushed. Her cheeks became red and her gaze shifted from him to cold floors. He lifted her chin so that he could continue to stare those mesmerising eyes. Someone was staring at them while hiding behind the bushes that was few distances away. He was the same spy working for Gayatri.

He tried to get closer view by crawling over dead leaves. He forgot to keep his movement still. His silly mistake alerted the lovers. They looked around for the source of noise. But they found nothing and assumed it was an animal. The king decided to call it a night.

He kissed her forehead before leaving. Her heart skipped a beat but she hid her excitement with a smile. She felt as if she had whole world in her hand . As he left, she euphorically jumped into her house. Finally she had a good night sleep.

The spy shared his findings to Gayatri. Her heart broke into pieces when she learnt about the king’s infidelity. Her eyes were red with anger and pain. She tossed the coin bag to the spy and dismissed everyone out from her room. When she was alone, she screamed furiously and slowly fell down to the floor.

The king was swept by the wave of new found love. He was like an overexcited teenager , always waiting for day to get over soon so that he could spend the night , watching the stars with his beautiful lover. When the day ended, he would sneak out of his palace to meet his lover while Gayatri  watched him with painful heart.
