The look of shock on their faces had me throwing my head back in laughter.
"Ha!, you seem surprised but you don't expect my mother in-law to keep anything from me do you?"
Mohini stalked towards me. "Queen Mila told you about that?"
"I don't see how this is your concern Mohuni, but yes she told me everything about my betrothed and your maid friend here" I replied with a smirk.
"You know I still don't know why you keep making friends among the commoners, even when you were at Pecan you all but mingled with a mere guard, of course you ended up getting him killed" I spat out.
"Don't you dare open your chatty mouth and say a word about Chadran" she replied with venom in her voice.
The Sarafina girl just looked on in surprise, oh dear I plan on surprising you even more.
"Easy there Mohini, you know I had no idea who you were scheming your revenge on but I think I should understand now. They say Mila is your mother, that makes Jamal your half brother.... Putting the pieces together she obviously killed your father and had Chadran killed too huh.... Is that why you came to Zedora, is that why you made friends with the Sheba? Because she was the perfect tool to get your revenge on your mother huh?"
"There is no need asking, it is plain clear already" I added.
Mohini fist tightened as she moved closer to me, she grabbed the neck of my cloth and pushed me to a wall. "Shut the hell up Ditya Sharukh or I'm going to kill you" she growled.
I pushed her hands off my cloth and stepped away from her, I turned to Sarafina. "You don't get it do you? Everyone keeps using you, your ability is a curse, your stepmother, Jafar and now Mohini.. Your mother was killed because if it... Jamal lost his memories all because of your abilities... You've done enough damage Sarafina... You should leave"
"Forger the me leaving part but what is she talking about?" Sarafina asked Mohini with a confused look.
"Don't listen to anything she says Sarafina, I will explain everything to you once she leaves" Mohini replied glaring at me.
I scoffed. "Explain? What's the point, isn't it clear that she is using you, pretending to be your friend for her to get her revenge through you"
Sarafina glanced from Mohini to me and back at Mohini. "Is that true Pooja"
I snorted. "Pooja huh? You even gave her a fake name"
"Shut your damn mouth Ditya Sharukh" Mohini yelled at me, I smirked.
"That's not why I am here anyway but that being said I need to pass a message across to you Sarafina"
Sarafina turned to me. "Message"
"Yes, your being here is damaging the order and set of everything so do everyone a favour and leave !!"
﹏﹏﹏﹏
SARAFINA.
Pooja or rather Mohini is using me as a tool for her revenge. It didn't make sense and Ditya's knowledge about it and the connection with Maximus family didn't make sense too.
Except if she had seen Maximus too, of course she would have seen him because she is so determined to get Jamal that even a deal with Shaitan(devil) would please her a lot.
I smirked as she finished yelling at me to leave, I folded my hands and stalked towards her. "I was very confused when you started spurting out rubbish from your mouth, but I listened again and it just dawned on me that you've formed alliance with him isn't it princess Ditya" I said.
She opened her mouth in shock. "What are you talking about?"
I clicked my tongue and took another step closer to her. "Didn't he tell you that I tend to be so stubborn when people like try to order me around?, oh I'm sure he didn't unless you've met his son too he would testify to that" I smiled and twirled my hair in my hands.
"Are you sure you don't know who I'm talking about huh? Well let me spell it out for you, you met with Maximus and Jafar right"
"How did you... How did you know?" She stammered.
I shrug with a smug smile on my lips. "Don't we all get used once in our lifetime, you just pointed that I am always being used... Isn't this the start of yours I mean the fact that I know you met Maximus does not tell you anything huh" I clicked my tongue. "Girl you have been used"
"Maximus told you?" She asked shakily. I shrugged again not denying it neither was I affirming it, let her think what she wants.
The rage in her eyes was very visible it could burn down a whole castle. "If you are intent on having Jamal, you won't work with Maximus I tell you... His only interest is getting the throne for his son !" I whispered to her then I stepped back.
Her eyes flew wide in shock, she gathered up her gown and ran out of the house. I sighed and finally turned to Mohini. "Everything she said about you is true right?" I asked in a small voice.
The guilty glint flashing in her eyes said it all. Ditya was right, Pooja has been using me.. "I can explain Sarafina just let me explain" she said sniffing.
As I stared at her, I wasn't even sure how I felt because right now I was feeling three emotions at once. Hurt, Anger and happiness, hurt that she was using me, angry that I didn't get to realize on time and happy that I am not the only one in this plan for revenge.
I smiled through my tears and patted her. "I am starting work with Jamal today, I'm sure you will be okay with unpacking alone if not you can wait for me" I brouth out a few dirham from my waist purse and handed it to her. "You should get some foodstuffs too, I will be back before you know it" I said and walked to the door, I stopped and turned to see her staring at me confused.
"You should get your plan for revenge ready we are in this together" I stated and threw her fake smile. So saying I trudged out of the house.
As I stepped out I finally allowed the tears to flow. I have been used again but it didn't matter, did it?
It did because I really liked Pooja or rather Mohini. I wiped furiously at NY tears and walked to Jamal chambers.
On getting there I saw him standing at the front of his room, he was only clad in a pare of shirts with a towel thrown over his shoulder, His bare back was turned to me and his hair was wet and messy. I licked my lips momentarily forgetting about Pooja betraying me.
He opened the door and walked in. "When you are dine drooling, you should come in too" he remarked smugly still not facing me.
I gasped, he knew I was here. "I wasn't drooling" I snapped in reply stepping into the room with careful steps. He turned back and I almost screamed at his sudden turning.
I swallowed hard trying not to look at his bare chest which water was dripping down from. He pulled me inside and slammed the door shut. "Like what you see huh?" He said with a smirk, I gulped again.
"Didn't you say I was going to be your personal maid" I said trying to keep my shaky voice in check.
"Well I won't really say personal maid, because I have so many maids at my beck and call"
"Meaning?"
"I will rather put it the way the civilized province would probably call it. My personal assistant"
"Personal assistant?" I muttered.
"Wait, what is your name, I forgot to ask" he said as he shrugged on a shirt, he wasn't in his prince regalia.
My name, I can't tell him Sarafina and I can't possibly lie either. "My name is Rafi" removing the 'rafi' from 'sarafina'
"Rafi?" Rafi sounded strange to my ears too but I couldn't go with anything more huh.
"Rafi" I affirmed.
