Pregnant For The Royal Prince

THE room was quite messy and dark that fateful morning. The stench smell of alcohol was on a great impact in the room, someone was lying on the floor, moaning and groaning softly at intervals, it was the occupant of that room. Beside him were bottles and bottles of alcohol which he had consumed, coupled with wine glasses. They were all strewn all over the floor, coupled with other objects.

This room was the Prince’s chamber and the drunk occupant lying on the floor groaning, was Raghav.

Yes, this should be the fourth day since he received the text from the unknown and private number. To say that the text demoralized him was to put it mildly, the text made him go nuts.

He never even thought if the text was really from Rina or not, all he knew was that she has been the one who sent the text.

She has left him, the love of his life has left him, the one who brought out the best in him, the one who made him feel what love is, his sunshine, his reason for smiling has left him, to face the world alone. How was he going to do this?

How could she leave without even thinking if he was gonna be able to pull through? Without even thinking if he was going to be alright? Without even thinking about his state of mind, his emotions, the pains he gonna go through? Or did she think he won’t feel the pain? The trauma? Oh! Rina.

On that fateful day at Kuru, four days ago, immediately after receiving the demoralizing text, he had left for Shimla immediately, without even as much as a goodbye to anyone. He had even left Prisha and Zaina behind for they stayed back, begging him not to conclude yet, but take things slowly.

“It’s obviously stated, didn’t y’all read it?” He had rhetorically asked. They were all downstairs now at the garage.

“But big bro, how are you sure she is the one? They are enemies lurking around the corner you know? Please just come back to the balcony let’s do this”, Prisha had pleaded.

Lady Aarti joined in, her husband, Zashil and Zaina, all trying to make him see reasons, yet he remained adamant, stating he was done and wanted to go back.

So he instantly boarded one of the cars and zoomed off, leaving all behind.

That was four days ago at Kuru kingdom. Since then, he has been in his room, locked up, and preventing others from seeing him.

He was still lying on the floor groaning when the door opened, and Prisha entered.

The stench smell of the alcohol greeted her nose and she made a face, covering her nose with her left hand.

Then she walked up to him, little tears escaped her eyes. Was this really her big bro? Her Raghav? The Prince? Jeez! He was looking a mess.

“Big bro you really need to stop doing this to yourself”, she said and bent over him, “please”, she pleaded, stressing the ‘please’.

He continued groaning, saying nothing to her. Then she tried carrying him up, pleading with him to comply, he weakly did and she dragged him to the bed.

“You really look a mess”, she said and began taking off the shirt he was putting on, it was soaked with sweat and tears.

Then she walked into the bathroom to help put up his bath water. She wasn’t even sure if he had taken his bath for the four days he stayed locked up in the room.

If not that she knew the password to his door, she wouldn’t have been able to enter.

Unlike Raghav, she wasn’t ready to give up, she hasn’t even given up, if not for his lack of interest, which had slowed down a lot of the people who initially showed interest.

She had tried gaining access to his phone in order to get the contact which had sent the text so she could hack into it, but it was a private one.

Soon she was done in the bathroom and came out, then walked up to him as he still laid on the bed.

“Maharana your bath is ready, you should go in and have a bath, and then eat…”.

Raghav scoffed. Food? It mattered nothing to him right now, absolutely nothing. What was food without your complete happiness?

“… Jeez! I still can’t believe you haven’t really eaten anything for four days now, but just literally feeding on alcohols”, Prisha continued.

“I will go call in the maids to bring you food, and clean up the mess in here”, she said and looked around, making a face. Then she turned to him.

“Can I talk to you Maharana?” She asked.

Raghav was mute, he said nothing to her and she sighed, hopefully hoping he would speak up.

“Prisha what is it?” He asked, his husky voice dragging the words.

She brightened up.

“I still insist brother, it wasn’t Rina who had sent that text, we need to find her, we can find her. All we need is just for you to say you are in, and be really in, please”, she pleaded.

He turned over to his other side on the bed.

“She has left me Prisha, what did I do to deserve that?” He lamented.

Prisha shook her head and went nearer him.

“No My Prince she hasn’t, that is what I’m trying to tell you”, she sat on the bed, next to him, “she didn’t send that text, believe me. We all do”, she said.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

He ignored her.

“She left me, she left me”, he said and chuckled weirdly.

“No she didn’t, you know that”, Prisha pushed on, hoping she could talk sense into him.

He suddenly got up, slapping her hand away from his shoulder and dragged himself into the bathroom, Prisha watched him and shook her head.

As soon as she heard the rushing of water in the bathroom, she got up and headed out.

Few minutes later, two maids came into the room and cleared up the mess, the scattered objects around, and the empty alcohol bottles.

Another came in and went for the laundry, the dirty clothes, the dirty duvets and bedsheets, and just anything that could go for laundry.

Then finally, another two brought in the food. They set it on the table and went away.

All the while these happened, Raghav was still in the bathroom, they all just came in, did their work and left.

Finally he was done. He came out and took on fresh clothes, then went to the dining. He picked up the cutleries and uncovered the food, he immediately lost appetite. It was the favourite Rina always prepared for him.

His stomach rumbled reminding him that no matter what, he needed to eat something. So he began playing with the food, and ate only but a few.

He was still at table playing with the food when the door opened and Terry entered. He hastingly walked up to him.

“Hey man, what is wrong?” He asked as soon as he got to him.

Raghav looked up and was surprised when he saw it was Terry. What the hell was he doing here? And how did he know he was back, and in distress at the moment?

“Terry, what are you doing here?” He asked, “don’t tell me you flew in all the way from New York?” He added.

Terry scoffed and sat down on one of the dining seats.

“Don’t ask me that, that is what best friends do. So, what is the problem?” He asked again.

He sighed.

“Bro it’s Rina, I’m sorry I hadn’t told you”, he said and took a sip of water.

Terry nodded knowingly.

“Prisha has told me everything. So, what are you insinuating on doing?” He asked.

“Terry I can’t do this further, the damsel has stated what she wants, that I shouldn’t look for her, and that I would never find her. What is the need stressing things? I am a Prince, I shouldn’t be begging for love”, he said.
