Kongpob's Pov-------

I found the whole house engulfed in eerie silence, this morning. It's doesn't feel like an usual strat of the day in Suthiluck house.

Usually, at this time... Big B and Uncle would be rushing around to get ready for the office... calling their wives to ask about, where were their wallets and socks, searching for their important files, car keys and watches.

Usually, at this time... Sister Lisa would be calling everyone for breakfast... Running between kitchen and dining table, and everyone would be fussing over her to walk slowly and be careful with her big baby bump.

And Usually, at this time... My Aunt would be in her small kitchen garden, watering her plants and collecting fresh chillies and cherry tomatoes or some other thing. Later she would be scolding the maids to hurry up and pack lunch boxes for Uncle and Big B.

But there was no voice coming from downstairs, today...

I was wondering... if it's Sunday today or any other holiday.

Usually, at this time... I would be helping sister Lisa and the maids in the kitchen too... But I woke up late today and right now, I was in hurry to get ready, to go down.

Very unusually... I didn't wished good night to my Big B and sister Lisa, last night.

Firstly... Because I was feeling a little hesitant after what happened at the hospital.

Secondly... Because I couldn't think of anything else... other than HIM.

The whole night !!

My mind was just stuck at, what happened in my room last night.

What happened between us...

I could still feel his soft tender lips over my forehead... His fingers cupping my cheek, reaching to the side of my neck... He has really long fingers, his thumb was creasing my cheekbone and his warm breaths were fanning over my face.

It was the first ever intimate moment of my life... The very first intimate touch, my first intimate kiss (if you can call it one)

I could feel tingles running deep through my veins, remembering what he did last night.

The way his lips lingered over my skin for those few moments.

The way he sniffed my hairs, very subtly and I could feel him inhaling my scent.

The way my soul cried out, with the withdrawal of his touch. When he pulled back.

I didn't know that my omega was craving for that kind of closeness. I never thought, I would be feeling something like this for someone... Like a harmonal teenager girl... Like a cliche female lead from one of my favourite romantic novels.

But he was making me feel all of that... Just by a mere touch of his lips and fingers.

It was like, he was taking control over all of my senses and thoughts.

My heart start to beat faster, just with the mention of his name.

My mind start to imagine so many different scenarios of our future, together... Whenever someone talks about our engagement or wedding.

My skin start to feel tingles all over, with just the memory of his touch.

My lips stretch over into an involuntary smile, whenever I remember his dimpled smile.

My eyes start to search for him everywhere... when someone talks about him.

And last night... I couldn't defy the sweet command of his either... to dream about him.

'Good night my queen... And dream about me, please... '

He said that... and I literally dreamt about him...

He was there... Every time I tried to close eyelids.

Sometimes smiling at me... Sometimes smirking teasingly.

Sometimes he was saying something very softly... Sometimes hearing me very attentively.

And everytime he comes closer to me or tried to touch me... I would woke up... Panting and sweating. Feeling myself surrounded by his dominating scent... Like he was still there, all around me.

I hardly get any sleep last night and just dozed off in the early morning hours... I woke up late, as a result.

After taking a quick shower and getting dressed, I just pulled my hair in a messy bun and ran downstairs.

When I stepped into the dining room... I found everyone there... Sitting silently.

Uncle and Aunt were sitting side by side, on the left side chairs of dining table. Aunty was looking down and uncle was rubbing his temple, looking a little tense.

My big B was sitting on the right side of the dining table and sister Lisa was sitting beside him, holding his hand and creasing his knuckles soothingly. While Big B was starting at something unknown.

Everyone looked up at me, the moment I entered the room...

I could see guilt and remorse on my Uncle's face and a hint of uneasiness on my Aunt's.

Big B looked so upset and guilty about something and sister Lisa looked a little stressed, but she smiled at me and stood up

"Good Morning Kong... Come have your breakfast. Today I made pancakes for you."

She said walking towards the kitchen.

"Good Morning everyone..."

I greeted everyone and started to follow sister Lisa, to help her.

"Kong... Come here and Lisa you too, join us..."

Big B called and we both turned to look at him.

He looked really upset about something and I was wondering if I was the reason for that.

I walked closer to him and sit beside him, sister Lisa sat beside me.

"Kong... I am so sorry Angel... I am really very sorry for what happened yesterday !!"

Big B said and I looked up in confusion.

'Why was he saying sorry to me... It should be me !! Asking for his forgiveness !!'

"No... Please brother, why are you saying sorry... I committed a mistake. I should be the one saying sorry to you, to sister Lisa. In fact I should ask for forgiveness from everyone in the family..."

I said, lowering my eyes and folding my hands.

Big B held my hands instantly and lifted my face, by tilting my chin up with his index finger.

"No my princess... You didn't do anything wrong... It was just an unintentional mistake... But what happened after that... Was definitely an unforgivable mistake, a grave one... and I am really sorry for that... That you had to listen to those accusations, which were far away from the truth !!"

Big B said, looking a little angry this time.

I looked at everyone... And found them looking at me with guilty expressions.

"No brother... It was my mistake. What aunty said was right... I should have been more careful around sister Lisa... She could have hurt really badly, because of me."

I said, my eyes getting moist again.

"No my child... You have always been careful... Around everyone and about everything... Your Aunt shouldn't have accused you like that... I want to ask for your forgiveness too... "

My uncle said and I felt too strange about this situation... My uncle hardly addressed me directly... And asking for my forgiveness was completely out of the box kind of thing...

Before I could say anything to him, my Aunty spoke...

"I am really very sorry Kong... I didn't mean to hurt you, nor I wanted to accuse you for being irresponsible or careless... It was never my intention."

She said in a straight voice, looking a bit uneasy.

"No no Aunty... Please don't say that... You are my elder, you shouldn't be saying sorry to me, it was truly my mistake and I am extremely sorry for that... "

I tried to reason with her and everyone else.

"Prince Arthit was really angry with what happened yesterday... "

Big B told me and I was surprised to hear that.

"What... What did he say ??"

I asked.

"He said that he won't tolerate anyone misbehaving with his queen... You are a Royal family member now and he demanded that we should treat you like one..."

Big B told me and my heart felt inflated with acceptance and admiration...

He called me his queen, infront of everyone. He included me in his family... He stood up for me, which I couldn't have done for myself...

My eyes filled with tears... tears of joy, after a very long time.

I tried to clear my throat and blink my eyes to let them soak my tears back.

"All of you, don't have to worry because of what Prince said... It was my fault and I will talk to him. He might not know about the whole incident..."

I tried to clear things up.

"No Kong... That wasn't the case, he knows everything and he even said sorry to me, on your behalf, as your future husband. But he made it very clear that you are his future queen and everyone should keep that in mind, while talking to you..."

Sister Lisa said with a proud smile and I blushed at her words.

I was feeling too giddy with the emotions bubbling up in my heart. I couldn't contain my smile, while I was working in the kitchen.

I had to feed my Big B, by my own hands, to lift up his moping mood. He left for his office, after giving me his Card, as I was going for shopping with Mother queen and princess Aalia today.

I didn't want to take it but I did... Just to make him happy.

I was doing two part time jobs in Japan and I have a little money saved up in my account but I was worried... it won't be enough to buy anything from, where Royal family goes to shop.

Around 11 o'clock, Aalia called me to inform that they were waiting in front of Suthiluck house.

I informed my Aunt and sister Lisa and walked out.

Aalia jumped on me as soon as she saw me... She was such a ball of energy.

I greeted Mother Queen and she kissed my forehead, reminding me of my own mother, making my eyes moist.
.
.
.

Soon we reached to a big classy looking building... Devika Fashion Plaza... was written in bold letters over it.

Royal guards escorted us inside and an elegant looking lady was waiting for us there, with few of her subordinates besides her.

They all bowed to Mother Queen and princess Aalia and looked at me with confusion and questions in their eyes.

"Welcome Mother Queen and Princess Aalia... It's our honour to greet you at our plaza."

The lady said in a polite tone.

"Devika... You have been the best designer in the whole White Rock kingdom, from a decade now. I couldn't trust anyone else for this most auspicious occasion for the Royal family."

Mother queen said with a soft smile.

"We all are so elated with the news of Prince's Coronation, Mother Queen."

She said and Princess Aalia winked at me.

I smiled and looked around to hide my blushing cheeks.

"Can we talk privately, in your office Devika... ?? I need to discuss few things before we proceed with our preparations for the function of Prince's Coronation..."

Mother queen asked her, Miss Devika nodded and bowed to the mother queen.

In next few minutes we were sitting in a beautifully decorated office room.

Mother queen and Miss Devika were seated infront of each other on the single seater couches and me and princess Aalia were sitting beside each other on the two seater couch, at the right side of Mother Queen.

"Yes Mother Queen... Please tell me what I can do for you ?? "

"Devika... Prince Arthit is going to get engaged... a day before his coronation."

Mother queen said and Miss Devika's eyes widened with surprise.

She composed herself very soon and smiled beautifully.

"Congratulations Mother Queen... The Royal family never fails to set the example, infront of all the citizens of our Kingdom. to never forget our roots and culture by following the centuries old rituals, set by the ancestors of Rojnapat Royal family. The King will claim his throne with his queen by his side... I am truly happy and delighted to be able to serve the Royal family with anything I am capable of... Please tell me your requirements and I will try my best to provide you with the best I have here... "

Miss Devika said.

"Devika... I want you to keep it a secret for now. We haven't announced the engagement to the kingdom and media yet... As we wanted to keep the identity of our New Queen hidden for some safety reasons. We will announce it on the day of the engagement itself."

Mother queen said and Miss Devika nodded her head.

"I can understand your concern Mother Queen, not a word will go out through these walls, you can trust me on that. But I need to meet the Future Queen for once... If I am going to design her dresses for her engagement and Coronation ceremony...!! "

Miss Devika said and I felt nervous all of a sudden.

"Here... meet my beautiful daughter in law..."

Mother queen said, looking at me. She raised her right hand and cupped my cheek lovingly.

I blushed at her words and looked at miss Devika... Trying to gauge her reaction.

She looked surprised at first and then she beamed at me and suddenly bowing to me, keeping her right hand over her heart, as she was sitting at the moment.

"Accept my greetings your Highness and my hearty congratulations for your engagement and Coronation..."

I felt too overwhelmed by her way to address me. But I nodded my head and uttered a timid 'Thank you' to her.

"We want the engagement dresses for the Royal couple, for the coronation ceremony as well. Including shoes and all other accessories... "

Mother queen said.

"Not only for them... But for me also... I need new dresses for both the ceremonies and new shoes and bags too... "

Princess Aalia said with a cute pout on her face and everyone laughed at her.

"Yes yes... First show us the most beautiful dresses for my Princess and then for anyone else... "

Mother queen said and Princess Aalia smiled happily.

.
.
.

We spent hours to select dresses for everyone.

Miss Devika has taken my measurements and informed us that she will prepare the perfect dresses for both the occasions in two or three days.

She asked about my preference as well as Mother Queen's. She showed us few of her new designs as well, on her laptop.

Finally we decided to go for a ball gown for the engagement and a traditional attire for the Coronation ceremony.

Miss Devika said that she will design Prince's engagement suit matching with my gown. Though she had few designer suits ready for the Coronation ceremony as she was aware of the occasion, beforehand.

Mother queen asked me to select few suits for Him... And I blushed for the hundredth time.

They both helped me and I selected three suits for him.

It was almost lunch time when we were done with clothes selection. Shoes and other accessories were still left. Princess Aalia was feeling hungry and Miss Devika has arranged a lavish lunch for all of us.

We were about to start eating when I could feel his presence...

I knew, he would be there in few minutes.

"What happened Kong... Are you not hungry ??"

Mother queen asked me.

"It's not that Mother Queen... I was ju-"

"Please don't call me Mother Queen... It sounds so formal. I am your mother my love, please call me Mom or you can call me Maa..."

Mother queen cut in between and I felt my heart fill with warmth. I used to call my Mother... Maa. She loved it when I address her, in her native language.

'Ji Maa... " (Yes Mom)

I replied and she smiled beautifully at me.

Right that moment, Prince Arthit entered and everyone stood up to greet him.

"Arth... Kanha reh gaye the aap, hum kab se aapka intzaar kar rahe hain ??"

(Arthit... Where were you, I was waiting for you ??)

"Maaf kijiyega Maa, Hum zara kaam main ulajh gaye they. Waqt ka pata hi nahi chala Hume..."

(Sorry Mom, I was stuck in some work. Didn't realise the time passing...)

He replied while hugging her loosely.

Then he turned to Princess Aalia and side hugged her too, while kissing her temple.

"Hey Doll..."

Then he turned to me and smiled, popping his dimples out... I felt butterflies swimming in my stomach, remembering out last encounter.

He stepped closer and put his palm lightly on my waist, leaning down a little, he pressed his lips on my hairline, just like last night. His lower lip brushing over my skin, very lightly... Giving me deep goosebumps.

He stepped back in mere seconds, evoking an irrevocable storm inside me with his closeness. I couldn't raise my eyes with my face turning red in shyness.

He was talking to Maa and I was trying to calm down my racing heart, which was ready to burst out of my chest, any second.

Princess Aalia nudged her shoulder to mine, playfully and winked at me, I blushed harder.

"Okay okay I understand that your work was important... My daughter in law has selected few suits for you already, so you can just try them on, but first have lunch with us..."

Maa told him and he smiled at her.

"Maa... I have already had my lunch with Dad and uncle in office. So please you all continue and I will just go to the trial room, as I have to leave in half an hour to attend an urgent meeting."

He said, looking a little apologetic.

"Arthit... You already came this late and now you are telling me that you have to leave in half an hour again... That's not right... "

Maa said, tried to sound strict.

"I am sorry Maa... But we have to entertain a lot of VIP guests, from all over the world. It's really too hectic for me and everyone else, right now..."

He tried to make her understand and she nodded at the end of his sentence.

He kissed her forehead to make her smile... and walked away with Miss Devika behind him.

Maa sat down and we started eating. Aalia was chatting nonstop and I was trying to keep up, with her jet speed.

Maa excused herself in few minutes and went to check on Prince Arthit, after finishing her lunch.

"Brother Kong what would you like to have for dessert...??"

Aakia asked me suddenly.

"It's okay Aalia... I am already full."

I told her but she was such a small kid in her teenage body.

"No no... we are having dessert for sure. I will have chocolate truffles and you...?? "

She asked...

"I will have the same... "

I replied.

"No... Don't be like that, tell me your favourites, Please... "

She started to whine. I tried to smile but she pouted cutely and I lost it.

"Cheesecake... "

I told her.

"We want some chocolate truffles and a cheesecake... "

Princess Aalia told one of the man, serving us.

"We are really sorry Princess... Cheesecake is not available right at this moment, and there is no bakery shop around this area, so it's not possible to arrange it so suddenly... We are really very sorry for that... "

That attendent looks really scared and I tried to mend the situation.

"It's really okay... I like chocolate truffles very much, please bring them for me also... "

I told them, though I doesn't like chocolate flavour that much.

Our desserts were being served, when Prince Arthit walked in with Mother queen.

Aalia's attention was diverted and taking the advantage of her distracted mind, I put the truffles back in the basket from my plate, in a quick move.

"Bhai, did you select the suit for your Coronation...??"

Aalia asked, jumping towards him.

I stood up too and walked closer to them.

"Yes... He choose the same one, his queen liked the most..."

Maa said, with a teasing smile and Aalia hooted.

"Oohooooo... What a connection, they both liked the same suit."

Aalia teased and I blushed for the tenth time, again.

"Okay Maa... I should leave now. I am already late for the meeting..."

He said looking at his gold Rolex on his wrist.

"But Arthit... You were supposed to go with Kong to select your engagement rings... I have already booked an appointment at Tiffany's for you both !!"

Maa told him and he looked at me. I don't know why but I wasn't able to meet his eyes today...

'What's wrong with me !!"

I was really surprised by my heightened senses around him.

"It's okay Maa... You still have to shop few things from here, right...?? "

He asked.

"Yes... Few accessories for Kong, Aalia and myself too."

Mother queen replied.

"Will you be free in two hours...??"

He asked again.

"I hope so..."

"Okay then... I will be back in two hours to pick up Kong and we will go for our engagement rings selection, alright !! "

He came up with a solution, instantly.

Mother queen beamed at him.

"Knott... Inform Tootah that we will be at Tiffany's at 5:30 sharp. Tell him to make the top floor free for us. I want full privacy... "

He informed him P.A. and the tall buff man, standing behind him nodded his head.

"As you say Prince... "

He replied and walked out, dialing a number on his phone screen.

Prince Arthit turned to me next and I could feel my heart racing just with his deep eyes set on me.

"I will be on time, wait for me bun..."

He said and brushed his knuckles over my chin towards my jaw, closer to my ear. I felt a jolt of lightning spark through me with his touch.

He went away and I was left struggling for my breaths.

.
.
.

Around two hours later... We stepped out of the, Devika Fashion Plaza, with lots and lots of shopping bags. Few dresses, some beautiful bags and few trendy footwears.

Maa didn't let me pay for anything, when I tried to reason with her, she silenced me by saying that... Kid's don't pay when their parents are present there.

And I couldn't argue with her on that.

The moment we walked outside, I saw His car already parked there.

His guard opened the door for him and he stepped out... looking like a living walking dream on his heals.

I tried to avert my eyes to control my face, getting heat up again.

He walked closer, Maa was telling him something very urgently and he was listening really prudently to her.

After few minutes they both turned towards me and Aalia.

"Kong, my princess... Select the best rings for yourself and your King."

Mom told me, cupping my right cheek and kissing the left one.

"Ji Maa... "

I replied, slowly.

"Have a nice date with your future husband, brother... "

Aalia whispered, while hugging me.

They both left and Prince Arthit turned towards me.

"I hope you enjoyed your shopping with Maa and Doll... "

He asked, stepping a little closer to me.

"Yes... I have enjoyed it immensely..."

I replied , trying to control the drumming of my heart.

"Should we leave now...!!"

He asked and I nodded.

He again opened the door for me and I have noticed it earlier that he did the same for Maa.

'He was treating me like his family... '

This thought made me smile.

When we settled inside his car he picked up the remote control and before he could press the button to pull up the partition screen, his bodyguard turned back and passed a plastic container to him.

Tucking the remote back to it's holder he turned to me, placing the container on a cushion and placed it over my lap.

I looked at him in confusion and he opened the lid...

Suddenly the fresh and yummy aroma of cheesecake, filled the surroundings.

I looked at the lid of the box and I was really surprised to notice that it was from my favourite bakery.

"You should have told Doll, if you didn't want to eat the chocolate truffles... No need to do anything to please anyone. We are family Kong... And we should be able to be ourselves, with family members."

His words made me so emotional and touched. My hands were trembling and I couldn't hold the plastic fork firmly to take a bite.

He forwarded his hand and pulled the fork from my fingers, spooning a bit of cake, he fed me the first bite... like last two times, when we ate together.

I opened my mouth silently and suddenly I felt like I have never tasted a cheesecake as yummy as this one.

"Did you buy things for you, according to your choices or you just agreed to everything Maa and Aalia suggested ?? "

He asked, shifting closer and feeding me the second bite.

"Maa asked for my opinion in everything and Aalia even bought her own dress by my choice... She said she loved it... "

I tried to say while chewing slowly.

"That's very good... I knew Maa will take care of you very well and about my Doll... I told you that you will love her, once you get to know her... She is really the sunshine of our family... "

He said, feeding me another bite.

"Bun... we are going to Tiffany's. My college friend Tootah, is the Maneger of that outlet. He might treat you, too friendly because he is very close to me... So please don't be surprised. He is an omega and a very sweet person. I hope you will like his company..."

He informed me and continued feeding me.

I just nodded in reply. My cheeks heated up everytime he calls me Bun.

"You should taste it too... It's not overly sweet..."

I asked in a hesitant voice.

He looked at me and smiled.

"Sure..."

I was about to pick up the fresh fork for him but he took a bite from the same fork, he was feeding me with... and wrapped his lips around it... Sliding the fork out, he licked the tip and hummed in delight.

"Hmmm... It really tastes good..."

He said and I don't know why but... I blushed scarlet.

He fed me the last bite and put the empty container down. Picking up a tissue he forwarded it to me and I was confused... Because I didn't touched anything... He fed me the whole thing... So why was he giving me the tissue ??

I noticed a small smudge at his thumb, he was holding the fork with. I thought about cleaning it with the tissue in my hand... But before I could move, he raised his hand up and his thumb rubbed the side of my lower lip.

He picked up a small crumb and pulled his thumb back, placing it between his lips... he sucked it.

I could feel my heart, beat like a mini drum... My heartbeats echoing in my ears. My eyes were struck on his lips and right that moment... He looked into my eyes and smirked.

"It tastes better now..."

My face burned and I lowered my head, crushing the poor tissue between my fingers.

Suddenly I was feeling too timid.

"How's your elbow...??"

He asked and I was relieved about the change of topic.

"It's Better..."

I replied in a small voice.

"Did you changed the dressing...??"

He asked further.

"No... but I will... After reaching home."

"Why didn't you do it in the morning...??"

He asked again.

"I woke up a little late today and I had to get ready for the shopping, with Maa and Aalia. So I didn't get the chance... I will do it before bed for sure... "

I tried to sound sincere.

He turned to his back and pulled out a medical box from the backside board of his car. Placing it in his lap he asked me to shift closer.

"I... I will do it at home, really..."

I tried to say.

"I know you will... But I want to do it right now... Please pull up your sleeve."

He asked, opening the lid and picking up the disinfectant liquid from the box.

I tried to roll up the sleeve of my shrug,  But it was snuggly fitted and was really hard to move up.

I was trying to pull it up and it rubbed over the cut on my elbow.

"Aaaouchhh..."

A slow sound let loose from my lips and he got alert.

"Careful Bun... You will hurt yourself further !!"

He sound really concerned.

"It's too tight. I can't move it up..."

I replied hesitantly.

"You should pull out your hand then, It will be easy to dress up the wound that way..."

He said and my eyes widened with timidness.

The shrug has high collar neck line and three fourth sleeves... But I was wearing a thin georgette long top with spaghetti straps underneath it, paired it up with dark plazo pants.

It will show too much skin... My shoulders will be almost bare infront of him !!

"No... No... It's okay. I will do it later, I promise..."

I tried to change his mind but he just stared at me... Without any words and I felt like I was in a haze.

It wasn't like I felt uncomfortable with him... It was just that... I was feeling shy.

Avoiding his intense gaze I slowly pulled the sleeve down over my shoulder and slipped it lower, until my elbow.

I could hear a sharp intake of breath, beside me and my spine started to feel shivers.

He scooted a little more closer and held my forearm... Sparks flew into my body, tingles floated in my veins and I bit my lower lip between my teeth, to avoid making any unholy sound.

He removed the worn out bandage and cleaned the wound with the disinfectant. After applying the medicine, he put the fresh bandage on.

His fingers never skimmed above my elbow and his eyes were fixed on the minor cut, all the time.

He was behaving like a true gentleman as always.

When he was done with the dressing, he pulled up my shrug over my shoulder.

"It's done... The cut is not deep and it's healing really well. You can keep it open from tomorrow and it will be completely fine by our engagement day."

He said with a sweet smile.

I smiled too.

"Here... Take your medicine... "

He said, handing over the medicine and a water flask to me.

"How do you know about what medicine I need to take...?? "

I asked, confused.

"I talked to the Doctor, who treated you, this morning. Dean told me that you forgot to take your post lunch medicine so I bought it on my way."

He said calmly but stired a havoc inside me.

I gulped the medicine without saying anything.

I couldn't find any words to express my feelings.

I wasn't used to be taken care of like this...

Like I was the utmost priority for someone.

Though, my big B care for me very much... He texted me and scold me for forgetting my medicine too.

But...

What HE was doing...  It's extremely  extraordinary.

He was literally treating me like his Queen.
