       A phone was ringing downstairs. As Jeisin reached out to take it.

'Hmm!' She breath out in relieve when she reached the phone in time. Then she picked up and accept the call, "Hello" she answered, trying to rest her shoulder in the chair that is besides her.

"Hello, fourteen hundred hours (2:00pm) My lady. It is the senatorium manager" doctor Brian spoke from the other side,

"Oh! I am coming. Give me half hour please" responded Jeisin.

Then she hang up the call and kept the phone on a table. 

As she swiftly walked in her room. Where she hurried to pick up the room. After a few minutes, she cleaned up the room. And then she rubbed a smooth brown towel on her head like a turban which matches with the bathrobe she was wearing. Thereby, she went to the bathroom. 

~~~

Jeisin had spent fifteen minutes in the bathroom before she came out. In haste, she glanced at the clock on the wall_ "it's 1:48pm. And already time for me to go", whispered Jeisin. So she sped, frightening not to be late. She simply got dressed in a diamond White long sleeve dress with black flat shoes. Her brownish hair was pulled back into a bun. Normally she wore a little make-up with no jewellery. Then she briefly checked her reflection one last time. Her deep bull brown eyes shine bright with full of smile on her face. She took a suitcase and walked out calling, "Joe!", 

[ Joe was an American citizen. He's a fair, moderate height aged man of 56 years old. And he had been Jeisin's house assistance for some years]

"I am here ma'am" Joe came and bowed funnily, taking a chicks cage.

"Uncle please stop. I want to inform you that I am going out with my driver William. We are going to Doctor Brian"

"It's alright. Be careful. And .. don't be late" 

"I won't Uncle" Jeisin answered by the time she called, "William, please move the car outside". Then she turned to Joe, "okay bye Uncle. And stay safe" 

And Jeisin moved out. She entered a diamond White Ford Eco sport car and William driven away.

     At 2:35pm, William arrived at the front gate of the psychiatric hospital. "We have arrive ma'am" William informed Jeisin when she was busy reading a newspaper. 

"Is it. Drop the car please. I will not take a long time" said jeisin, dropping the newspaper in the suitcase. And she carried it along. As Joe opened the car door for her to come out. 

Jeisin was little nervous as she was stepping inside the hospital to the manager's office. Perhaps, it tooks her some minutes to find the office as it has been a long time since she visited. As she raised her head up to the sign, she saw the name —DOCTOR BRIAN, boldly written on top of the plastic ceiling block. Where she silently pushed the door and entered.

Doctor Brian stood up in excitement as he was expecting her.

"You are highly welcome madam" he zealously greeted, showing her a place to sit.

"Thank you" Jeisin sat down in pleased before they continue to discuss, "How are you and how are your people. Hope everything is going well?"

"Of course. But the lonely boy of yours was in need of help, don't know why..." He tried to explain, 

Before Jeisin agitated to ask, "Doctor, what's wrong? I don't understand what you are saying"

"No l mean, if you see him now from the day you left him here three years ago, you can hardly addressed him as a normal person. Even we tried our best, still no fortune"

"But—can he remember anything by now"

"Yes by any chance. But for your sake, l advised that you should go with him. You can do as much to him other than what we can afford him here, please help before things get worse"

"I will try doctor. But I need your order to approve his discharge letter from here. I don't want him to continue living here"

"Do you want him to live in your house?"

"Not so sure, but it could be. Can I see him please?"

"Of course" doctor Brian called out a nurse Risa. And he asked her to bring Michael to his office.

Michael, a quiet and generous young man. He is 29 years old fellow yet he had grown a long beard like an 50 years old man. He was almost demented with grief. Ever since the assassination of his parents, the malcontent had been gunning for him. The misery which had become dreadful to him over time as he was committed to the psych ward. 

He was sitting behind the walls as usual, quiet and contemplate before he heard a ring in his ears with voice. 

"Michael, come. The doctor has summoned you" the nurse sounded as she lead him to the office.

Shortly, they reached doctor Brian's office where nurse Risa leave after Michael entered.  

Doctor Brian looked at Jeisin and spoke "you see the boy. Michael!". And he called him.

Michael raised his head calm and quiescent. 

"She is your aunt, Jeisin" doctor Brian introduced jeisin to Micheal.

Jeisin smiled in silence before she raised from her seat, readily to go, "Michael, we are going home. Shall we? Am! Doctor, thank you very much. And if l needed help, l will call. And I will send Joe to collect the file copy of his discharge letter form" she added.

"Thank you very much for your help great Lady"

"That's all, it's my work. Let's go Michael" and they left.

         Prince pial was moving around the surface of the terrace, feeling terrified of the outcomes that will belimp by Ixan after she read the letter. From distance he saw Lihan approaching the city gate on his horse. And he swiftly walked downstairs to welcome him. On his way he met knight George.

"Hello your highness" George greeted.

"Ah! George, aaj aap kaise hain (how are you doing today)?" Asked prince pial as he was rushing to go.

"Badhiya aur badhiya sar (fine and great sir)" answered George, smiling.

"Where to?"

"To the training palace. Today I missed training with you Sir".

"Maybe some other time. Please George, forgive me l am busy to get some good news I am expecting. Let's talk tomorrow, shall we?"

"Of course Sir. Have a great day" responded George pleasantly.

Prince pial smiled and uttered, "you too Mr. George". And he walked swiftly to Lihan as he helped him got down the horse before he asked, "Lihan! Sab theek hai? Usane kya kaha? (Is everything alright. What did she say)?"

Lihan bent down his head in worried and look at him again. That's when prince pial saw queen lisha with the soldiers and the servants entering the gate.

Lihan looked at the queen and turned to prince pial.

"Krpaya lihaan mujhe batao, tum mujhe dara rahe ho (please Lihan tell me, you are making me scared). I wish the worse has not happened?"

 Lihan was still looking at him.

"Please tell me Lihan, my heart can't able to take this risk" said prince pial again, breathing hard.

As Lihan held him, "raajakumaar pial, aap kya kar rahe hain? krpaya ruken (what are you doing prince pial? Hold please)". And he continues, "come with me to your chambers. You are improper to talk to the queen at this state. Come with me" he held prince pial's hands and help him walked upstairs as prince pial was still breathing hard. Slowly they walked upstairs before Lihan support him to sit in the chair and he sat with him. Then he pour water in a glass cup and gave to him "drink it bro. Cool down". 

Prince pial collect the cup and drank before he dropped it on the table.

A FEW MINUTES LATER

Lihan looked at prince pial, wanting to make sure that he's okay. And he carefully held his hand before he sounds, "how are you feeling now?"

"I am not sure. But I feel a little relief, thanks bro".

"It's okay. My brother, is this how love conquer your heart. I have never seen you like this. You know what's happening with you for the sake of this girl? Forget it. It's a good news brother! Ixan ne aapako sveekaar kiya (ixan has accepted you). And she was ready to meet you today itself" said Lihan delightfully.

And prince pial embraced him gratefully. "bahut bahut dhanyavaad bhaee! bahut bahut dhanyavaad bhaee (Thank you so much. Thanks so much bro)!" He sounded in excitement.

          Ixan is sitting at her dressing table, busy adorning her hair and her face. While Fanat was assist her getting dress elegantly. As they chats queerly.

Fanat walked to Ixan, holding a pair of an earring and tried it on her, "bura nahin hai, lekin hamen ise badalana hoga (not bad, but we must change it)".

Ixan laughed and utter, "Fanat! tum bahut mazedaar ho bahan. Theek hai, dres bhee badhiya dikh rahee thee aur jhumake bhee badhiya the (you're so funny sis. Is okay, the dress looked perfect so also the earrings)".

"Krpaya hamen ise badalane deejie (please let us change it)".

"Perhaps, if you insist. Choose me the best one sister".

"You deserve it" said Fanat excitedly. And she walked back to the drawer.

"Fanat! May l ask you something? How do you appreciate prince pial's love for me?"

Fanat smiled and respond, "you are so lucky said Mr. Lihan. He's a kind and gentle man perhaps he's a warrior gem. But ...". And she kept silence, looking worried.

"But what Fanat? Tell me".

"Some people were blessed with sufferance, believing in destiny in aspect of life and death. Although, I should say God has created his subjects in various forms. So, for prince pial, he was destinated with your love. It's not just his devotion, not at all. Have you ever heard about a disease of an excessive love? Prince pial was destined with such an ailment. It is called MANIA and it's seriously affecting his life Ixan".

Ixan's heart broken as the face powder of her hand felt down. A hard tears of distress filled her eyes. "WHAT!" She sounded in deep pain and sorrow, looking at Fanat surprisingly.
