Princess Adiya's (Diya's) POV
"Hawwwww I scared you!" I Shouted as soon as I entered the clearing, close to the waterfall.
All I saw was a profile of a man having a same built as that of Sahil. So I Shouted in order to scare him! But it wasn't Sahil.
"Who are you?" I was shocked.
"How can you forget me Diya!" Replies a familiar voice and I was suddenly reminded of him.
Suryansh! What was he doing here?
"Well I decided to accompany Sahil in order to meet my future sister in law!" He said excitedly.
Wow. I always doubted if both of them were brothers! Both looked very similar during Gurukul days and even shared a hut! It had never occurred to me that both could be brothers too!
"You told him everything?" I asked Sahil who emerged out of nowhere.
"I had to. He knew about me escaping our home!" Explained Sahil.
"I am glad you are with my brother! I totally approved of your relationship with my brother!" He declared and I grinned. He hasn't changed even a bit after the Gurukul.
"So? Who are you?" He asked me suddenly. And I was shocked. Didn't expect it coming from him. I looked at Sahil
Well then an idea came into my head."I can give you a hint" I laughed mischievously
I made an on the spot poem!
I am close to the God, know my worth,
His own ornament rare..
My home is where,
The sky meets with the Earth.
Sahil and Suryansh laughed. Now it was my turn to ask their names.
"Give us some time, We too need to give you a hint! In your style!" Shouted over excited Suryansh.
And then Sahil started speaking
"I too have a deep relation with sky...
I guide the sailors in the oceans high...
My home is where there is tremendous light..
You see up and it's close to your sight!
I tried to interpret the meaning but then Suryansh started speaking.
"I am Apple of my parents' eyes
Someone to take the family name ahead!
Even if you get me wedded,
My son/daughter will fill my place!"
My head was churning with so much of information! I had to think with a calm mind and figure out their names!
Three of us sat near the banks of river and turned nostalgic about our Gurukul day's! We remarked how simple those days were and life revolved only around nature.
"Diya, when will your responsibilities get over?" Asked Suryansh, probably hinting about the date when I would allow Sahil to ask for my hand.
"Soon" I grinned, thinking about the ongoing war with Surya Kingdom!
After sometime,
"Brother, let's go. It's the time!" Said Suryansh to Sahil. However we both didn't get our moments so I was reluctant to leave him.
"Brother, I think you should go. We both want to spend some time alone." Said Sahil. He too wanted some time alone with me. We looked at each other and something between us clicked.
"Okay brother But please come early. We don't want people at home to notice your sudden absence." He said.
"Yes brother I will come soon." Grinned Sahil and my heartbeats increased seeing his boyish smile. I wondered what would happen once we are alone.
We saw Suryansh turning around and then heard the sounds of him climbing on his horse and the noise of steps of the horse getting lower to the point that it was calm again.
I looked at Sahil and saw a sudden hunger in his eyes. It was for me!
