Chapter 170 - Right place at the Right time!

Subconsciously Maya remembers Xavier who has been nice to her even from their first encounter. 

'Still ... Even if Xavier had those powers instead of him..would he stand against his beloved brother for me?! Knowing how much Xavier respects Kalki she couldn't trust Xavier anymore..when it comes to Kalki..'.

The thought filled her mind and made her realize that no one would be there for her.

She kneels on the ground exhausted and cries burying her face in her palms. Her shoulders tremble while she muffled her cries. She never cried loud.

Her cries screamed her anger not solely her sadness. It screamed her endless anger on herself! She is angry for her own madness!

Everyone in her village knows how arrogant and disobedient she is. But not many people saw her crying. She never allows herself cry in front of many people.

Because.. Nobody cares.....The one who cared is fighting his death...But she doesn't want to trust him too.. After all he is His family.. Here..I am no one.. Why would he chose me?!'

She shakes her head to destroy this thoughts as nothing will be good for her in hoping a hopless hope!

"Maya?".

A worried voice startles her from this lone agony.

"Maya, what happened? Why are you here alone?!".

Maya's cries increase hearing the person's worry filled voice. She doesn't want to cry in front of anyone. But the person behind her is capable enough to make Maya's stubbornness melt. The tears escaped without any restrictions now.

"Maya, Please talk to me. You are scaring me".

Maya starts to tremble for some reason either it's cold or she felt broken. May be both.

Because nothing matters more than her self esteem. And the man trampled on it ruthlessly today.

'He said I couldn't even find my Power Element and he is true! Then..Am I stupid? Do I really deserve to be in streets?-'.

Maya was immediately engulfed in a warm embrace from behind by that person.

"Maya, please don't cry. I can't see you weak. You are our strength! Tell me how can I help you? I don't know what to do!".

Maya holds the person's hand which was encircling her neck weakly and cries silently.

'May be she cares...only she cared..from the start..'

Maya speaks in a broken voice "I don't belong here, Sarah".

She finally is able to speak her mind.

Sarah shakes her head in strong disagreement "That's not true, Maya!-".

Maya whimpers not minding Sarah's tight hug "Yes it is!".

Who cares jow tight the hug was. Sarah is here for her. That only matters.

Sarah brings herself in front of Maya and kneels to face Maya. She bites her lip as Maya's face looked pathetic!

Sarah speaks holding her hand "I don't why you say that, but you are the missing part in our country now, Maya-".

Maya shakes her head and tries to get her hands back from Sarah "No..stop believing me-".

Sarah speaks strongly enough to get Maya's attention "I do believe you belong here. You are in the right place at the right time. I can feel it. Our country has never been like this. Something changed ..I don't know what it is.. but I can say it's after you stepped in our country".

Maya disagrees "I didn't do anything, Sarah. I can't even do anything here".

Sarah sniles worriedly and asks confused "Why are you even sad, Maya?! I was so happy after you won the Contest! I have been searching for you everywhere. Where did you go?! Do you aware of people's love for you?! They were celebrating you!".

Maya sighs tiredly as that information didn't bring peace to her. Instead it only reminded how she has been played by certain someone. She stutters "I-I ..don't know when will.. how to return...' to my country...

Sarah asks utterly confused "You didn't lose your way, did you? I know you can remember the ways well now".

'But why is she sad for this mere thing?! What is happening to her?!'.

Maya looks away bitterly "I don't anymore. I couldn't find a way anymore...".

Sarah asks slowly noticing Maya in deep thoughts "Maya...what are you thinking?".

Maya mumbles "I don't like being a Royal Servant".

Sarah sighs "Even I don't ..Wait! Why are you mentioning yourself as a servant?!".

Maya remains silent.

'Did she think I was talking about her?'.

Sarah speaks seriously "Maya, I know you don't like being ordered. I always have been weak. I too never wanted any of these. I too think I don't belong here as a servant..I even forgot what I wanted in my life..After so many years of my service here as a servant, I can't even remember any of those wishes now.. Because I couldn't change anything even if I really want to. Do you know what's interesting in this?

Maya asks in a hoarse voice "What?".

Sarah smiles encouragingly "You can. You can do anything and change anything you want. Because you are the Queen now!".

Maya gets her hands back and grunts "I am not..".

Sarah smiles cheerlfully "Yes, you are!".

Maya stands in rage abruptly and starts walking away "I don't want to be a Queen, Sarah!".

'Not after what he had done and said!'

The word Queen itself has become a sore spot for Maya now.

Sarah asks blankly still unaware of anything "Then what do you want?".

Maya turns and shakes her head blankly. She bites her lip helpless as she couldn't even find "I don't know...".

She cries like a child. She is still 18 after all. She still is a child.

Sarah melts at Maya's weak cry "Oh Maya..." and hugs her "I don't know what to do or say..I don't know why you are crying..but I will be here with you..like always..I will help you in whatever way you want me to do. Please don't cry".

Maya nods while hugging her back.
