*Melody Pov*

"What are you thinking about Kendrick?" I asked looking at him who is recently lost in his thoughts.

And I have got used to calling him by his name too. At first it felt weird but now I am fine with it.

We have been married for one month and I couldn't help but say that I am happy which I never expected in this rate after my wedding.

"Nothing! It's been nearly two weeks since my Father has left for Hulind Kingdom. I am getting worried because he still didn't return." He said when we reached our tree.

Yes, we have got our own tree as we stand here for sometime everyday. I held his hand in mine showing him that I can understand.

"Look how struck did my friend get to my Queen." We heard a knowing voice.

"Evening Juan!" I greeted him and he smiled at me.

"So friend, you even forgot your friend all these days. I never thought this day would come into your life and that too with Queen Melody." Juan stated.

"Why is that?" I asked him smiling.

"Because he was hell bent that we are going to kill you when we are travelling here. Now see he is not even spending one minute away from his wife." Juan replied smiling teasing Kendrick.

I gasped and stepped back leaving Kendrick's hand. Observing this Kendrick turned to Juan and shouted "Juan!"

Juan then glanced at me and then his eyes went wide. He apologized to me and walked away still apologizing.

"Melody!" Kendrick called me walking towards me and as a reply with even knowing I stepped back.

He stopped himself from moving towards me when he saw that. I know I shouldn't move away from my husband but the new news just making me conscious.

"Melody! I know that was wrong for me to even think like that but when the wars started and I lost one Uncle I was told you were the reason for it. At that young age I got planted that news in my head forever. Even after that I was repeatedly told the same by some person at whom I look up at. When I think of it now, I feel silly completely." He slowly started explaining and I calmly explained.

"Immediately after the war my Father started saying few things which just pointed to you and as I was already told that these wars would end in our favor when you are not in our line anymore. I know it was wrong of me but I thought the reason for us to coming here is to end your life." He added and looked at me.

"It was immature thinking of mine. As a Future king I shouldn't even have those thoughts at that time for anyone but I had which is a mistake. Can you please forget that?" He asked calmly.

I didn't replied and just stood there not knowing what to even do or say to him after hearing everything.

"Don't step back like that again from me Melody with a fear that I will hurt you because I don't want you to feel like that because of me at all." He said and I finally moved towards him hearing his words.

"Forgive me for stepping away like that. It was just my repulse hearing those words." I said looking at him.

"I can understand Melody." He said nodding and we stayed for some more time than everyday.

Next day when I woke up he gave me news saying that he is going to Hulind Kingdom today evening.

"But why?" I asked him worried because I don't want to stay away from him.

"I am feeling something really bad and I need to go there to see what is taking my Father this much time." He replied getting ready.

"Ok! You are right." I said nodding.

"Can we go one time for a stroll before you leave?" I asked him hopping he will accept.

"Sure!" he replied smiling making me smile back.

When we were taking a stroll and stopped near our tree, I turned towards him and said "I am very fond of you Kendrick more than I can ever express in words. I just wanted you to know that before you leave."

He looked at me stunned and didn't utter any word even after few minutes. With each passing minute I got feared.

"Say something Kendrick." I pleaded him.

"Melody! I really don't know how to say the words which I have right now but I need to be honest with you." he slowly started saying.

"Honesty is all I want." I said because I can't give it up for anything.

"Like I said the other day how I have accused you with the help of others thoughts. After our wedding is fixed I started removing them and after wedding I removed them completely. But.." He stopped saying whatever he is going to say.

"But?" I asked him worriedly.

"I just started knowing you all these days and I can't say that I am fond of you so soon because I don't think I am." He replied and I stopped breathing.

For few minutes I just stood there stunned not knowing what to even say after hearing those words.

"If you do not even like me then what have we been doing everyday...." I trailed of my question which entered my mind unable to continue it.

"That! That is...." He too trailed off not saying anything.

"I know! It is nothing but just a marriage act for heir's right?" I asked looking at him.

That's what I heard which happens in any marriage. But I was too naïve to think that I will have some other type of marriage life.

"Melody!" he started to say but gut cut off by Juan's voice started coming towards us saying "Your horse is ready friend. If you don't leave now then you have to take a camp in the middle which is not safe for you to do it alone."

"Alone?" I asked them.

"I am leaving Juan behind for your protection. I saw that you have no protector here." Kendrick said and I nodded at him.

"You bid your byes with your wife right? Now come on King Albert wants to meet you before you leave." Juan said and Kendrick nodded at him.

"Have a safe journey Kendrick." I said smiling at him because I can't show him my hurt when he is going away for few days like this.

"Stay safe Melody." He said and walked away with Juan after looking at me for one whole minute.

After he was out of sight I slowly sat down leaning on the tree letting out my tears. What we have been spending time with each other is not enough for him to even like him?

And those passionate nights are nothing but a marriage act for heirs? Why did I think of have having some fairytale marriage life when I know what actually happens everywhere.

Maybe I am thinking too much about this. He said he still needs time right? Maybe after sometime he will also get fond of me. That may happen and I need to give him is some time.

Even if he doesn't like me forever I can't do anything about it right? I mean I can't control someone's emotions right?

I just need to assure myself that everything is going to be ok and I shouldn't think this much about the matter.

That's all I should do...............
