TO LOVE A DRAGON KING

A handsome tanned skin man with beautiful sea green eyes was lying leisurely with his legs crossed and his hands folded behind his head. His eyes were closed although he wasn’t asleep. While he was lying down a butler entered his room. The butler trembled in fear with each step he took. Even though the handsome man heard his footsteps he was unbothered. The man knelt on one knee and began talking.

“My lord! An eclipse appeared in Anum island,”

The man opened his eyes with a smirk and answered.

“Finally! It sure took long enough for it to finally appear.” He cackled and left the bed for the bathroom.

“Get my clothes ready I will be visiting the hospital for a meeting shortly.” The middle-aged man did as he was instructed and hurriedly left the room.

It was raining heavily outside and there were no cars on the street except for the traffic lights flickering in the darkness of the night. The daily guard media house was in the middle of the story buildings by the side of the road. The doors of the media house slammed open, and a young girl was thrown outside by some macho men and a man dressed properly in a cheap suit.

“Stay out! And don’t ever return to this organization again” the girl stood on her knees and begged as tears filled her eyes, begging to gush out. She tried to hold all the pain she felt inside her chest, but she couldn’t. She sniffled and as she looked at the man, tears she didn’t know she was holding spilt over and rolled down her cheeks like a river escaping a dam.

“Mr. Pete, please don’t do this to me. I will be better, give me another chance... one more chance please. I will be the best journalist you’ve ever had.” Mr. Pete took long stride to stand only a few steps away from her then he threw her purse in her face forcefully and angrily. Mahina flinched at the sudden action in pain.

“Miss Mahina nobody will ever want to hire an incompetent worker like you. Take it from me give up on trying to succeed as a journalist and take on the job of a waitress that will fit you well... now please leave my premises before you draw unnecessary attention”

Mahina gasped, her eyes fell on the flowing water on the ground, and she threw her hands in the air before landing them forcefully on the ground. It was still raining heavily, and she was completely drenched with water. She cupped her face and thought of how life has treated her unfairly and she asked herself.

“What sin have I committed to deserve this? Mother! Uncle! why did you both abandoned me in this cruel world. I can’t go on like this, why didn’t you just take me, that way we could have been together and happy in a different life.”

Mahina sniffled as she gathered herself together and stood up. she walked silently in tears down the isolated road with streetlights flickering in the dark.

Life was not like this for Mahina in the past. She used to be her mother’s treasure and her uncle’s princess. It all started in summer when she was six years old.

FLASHBACK

A mother and daughter were under the big dining table in the mansion in the night, playing tea party. They were giggling excitedly. Little Mahina picked up her tea mug and said to her mother.

“Mrs. Reyes do you care for a cup of Tea”

“Oh yes my dear if you don’t mind” she smiled at little Mahina’s endearing ways.
