Dalilah looked at the boy smiling and she understood the whole senario. Khufu must have tried to disrobe her and the girl must have punished him in return.
He was smiling constantly, looking towards the dome shaped, ceiling of his room. He was constantly reminded of her beautiful face, her bare b.r.e.a.s.t.s, her beautiful big eye lashes. Unaware that his mother was constantly looking at him, he was completely lost in his day- dream.
"Son! I did not expect this from you. You tried to disrobe the girl!"
"Mother! I even tried to marry her. But i failed!!
Khufu laughed, constantly looking at the ceiling. Dalilah rolled her eyes at her love-struck son.
"You must go and apologize to the girl."
"Yes mother! If you insist, I should go right now."
"Wait! Let your body heat go away! Khufu! khufu!"
Khufu left the room, as if he had been waiting for Dalilah to speak the words. Dalilah chuckled, looking at the retreating figure of her son.
Soon the city was notified of the king"s arrival and the preperations were made.
"Little sister! Why is the king coming to our house? Did something happen at the castle?"
"Nothing brother! Maybe he just wants to thank me for my wonderful teachings."
"Very well then! I am proud of you."
Miso sighed and wondered what is going to happen next. Will the guards hold them both captive? But it was not her brother"s fault! She had to make him leave the house.
"Say! Brother. I think you should not be here in the house. Her highness would not want you to meet her son, like this."
"Why! He does not know anything about us."
"Yes! But! I feel she will not be comfortable with you meeting her son. She might not want to come back again and feel ashemed. You should leave." Miso pushed her brother out of the door and closed it from inside.
"Huh?" Cho looked at the closed door in confusion and ultimately left for the market.
Miso sat inside the room, waiting for Khufu"s arrival. In no time, she will be held captive and will be dragged towards the dungeons to be killed.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door. A man"s voice came from outside the. "His highness, Khufu has arrived."
Miso took a deap breath and slowly walked towards the door. She opened the door and saw Khufu, standing with four other men.
"P..please. Come in." Miso looked at the man, dressed in a royal gold robe and headgear, the way he dressed for official meet of his court or public appearances.
Khufu entered the house, looking at the girl"s beautiful face. He signalled his guards to stay out and closed the door from within. "Teacher! How have you been?" He took a few step towards Miso, looking in her eyes. He was smiling looking at her.
Miso thought this was probably the happiness you attain, after finally hunting down the prey!
"Very well. Umm...how are your burns? Though I made sure, they don"t harm you much!" Khufu came much closer to her face, making Miso take back a few steps.
"Are you talking about my heartburn? It"s too bad!" Khufu took few more steps, making her pin down the wall. His eyes not leaving hers!
"Heart-burn?"
"Yes. My heart is hurting. Can you please check." Khufu held her cold hand with his own hand and kept it in on his bare chest.
Miso could clearly feel his heart racing rapidly. "Yes! You might be suffering from heat- stroke. I will prescribe something."
Miso tried to sound normal, though she clearly understood his double-meaning words. She tried to move away but was quickly blocked by the boy"s arms.
He came closer to her and whispered in her ear. "You are my cure!"
