Chapter 192 - Mother!

Maya nods earnestly "Right.. I will ask something wisely".

Xavier is stuck in a difficult situation 'I don't want to force my opinions on you. And that might cause the Conspiracy incident to resurface again. If you ask to free from this marriage then everyone will know the truth about this marriage. People might again start to think that you were really planned to be killed by the Royals, because of your birth status ...I can't be selfish... This might affect the country too.. But this sudden marriage proposal is bothering me..What should I do?'.

Maya still wonders what she should ask.

He watches her still thinking and sighs 'She doesn't even know what would her future hold for her. She should use this wish wisely'.

When he finished thinking his thoughts, Maya was already asleep making him shake his head helplessly.

'She has no idea about my heart's condition, has she?'

Xavier smiles memorising her sleeping face in his heart. He never got a chance like this for being with her alone. He too leans back his head and closes his eyes contently.

He too doesn't know what his future holds for him but he doesn't want to miss this blissful present next to the woman he loves instead of worrying about his future unwantedly.

Both of them were at peace in the embrace of nature. Soon time passes and the surrounding starts to get cold. 

Maya can sense her face and exposed hands starts getting cold. She subconsciously tosses faintly in search of some warmth around her. After some faint movements of her search, she finds the warmth just by leaning by her right side.

Without missing a single chance she snuggles into the endless source of warmth next to her. 

She smiles subconsciously and sighs in content. After a long long time, Maya entered into a blissful sleep.

-------

Kalki was resting in his chamber in the Countryside Pavilion.

He was in deep sleep but eyebrows were furrowed in discomfort. It seems something is bothering him in his dreams. Only few things bother him even in his sleep.

In his dream, he walks into the deep forest which looked so cold. He heard that in dreams one can't feel any pain but his arm was aching for some reason. He frowns and notices his arms were injured. To his surprise it was due to fire. 

He always remains too cautious about fire. As it will not heal like his other wounds. Even immersing himself in cold water for a whole day can't heal burn injuries. Wounds caused by fire only heals normally.

He has tested everything ever since he was young on his body to check its reactions. He never feared trying new ways. That was the reason he put himself in danger few days before.

At first, he didn't want to risk his life by entering into that fire filled chamber but something in him pushed too hard to help Maya to make use of her Power element. Till now he himself couldn't reason for his actions.

He hears some noise and starts running towards that direction. As if searching something desperately, he ignores his tired legs.

He frowns in some sudden realization. He felt this feeling too familiar. He did that not too long ago!

Yes! It has been three years! Once he was searching for that one person to appear in front of him so desperately but he couldn't save her! It was the worst ever day in his whole life.

But he frowns seeing a door appearing in front of him. He remembers every places of his country but this place looked too vague in his memory. It must have been years since he saw this place in front of him.

There is something about this place which felt too familiar too.

The door opens and he sees a shadow. A shadow of a woman and he feels it oddly recognisable.

A voice made him perk his ears attentively.

"Are you scared, child?"

Kalki creases his brows 'No...'

A cold chuckle escapes from the shadow as if it can hear his mind "How troublesome!".

Instantly Kalki was thrown by a gust of cold wind from that shadow and falls on the ground away from the shadow. He grunts and glares back at the shadow in displease.

The voice mocks him "What? Are you going to destroy me?"

Kalki's eyes have a complicated expression at this clear voice now. He couldn't believe this.This voice was once a source of endless happiness and warmth now sounded unbelievably vicious and cold.

Kalki ignores the weirdest thought and gasps seeing the shadow approaching him. He can't believe what he was seeing. His mind already found that person whom this shadow looked like.

Strangely he felt a warmth filling his heart at this dangerous situation. His legs screamed to escape from here and his mind wanted to slam his head to make his brain work to think properly. But his heart kept freezing his whole body to anticipate a single and impossible thought of seeing the face of the shadow. 

And only an emotional gasp escaped from his lips when the shadow finally stood right in from of him.

"Mother!"

Kalki wakes up sweating profusely and heaves harsh breaths. He looks around the surroundings. He is still in the Countryside Pavilion. He steadies his breaths while recalling the dream.

"What was that? What's happening? The door..."

He jumps out of his bed swiftly and his legs already took its own path. He knows where that place is by now. Never did his brain work so slow. He must have instantly found that place in his dreams but his emotions made his mind freeze.

But it didn't took too long for him to recognise the door from his dream. In next few moments he is standing in front of the Cold Prison door in the Countryside Pavilion. 

He looks at the metal rod in his hands and darts his eyes over the lock on the prison door.
