The Indian Prince Addiction

Eva

“What!”I scream in shock and Mira look at me surprised.

“Aren’t you happy that you’re going with me?”

“Not that I’m not happy but what about Antara?”I asked with a sad pout and she scoff.

“Excuse me, you’re here thinking about Antara when you should be thinking about the betterment of your life, what’s wrong with you Eva”

“She’s my friend, she do support me in everything, sometimes she do borrow me money to pay for mom hospital bills”

“It’s true Mira, she’s a good friend to Eva, she’s a blessing to this family, that’s why she’s quite concerned about her”

“Then you have to tell her that you’re traveling”

“Just like that?, I should tell her unceremoniously that I’m leaving, did you think the news will go well with her, can you just let her follow us please?”

“Seriously Eva, she would follow us?, I told you guys already that I came here to take you to manila just to make things up to you, I don’t want another party to join us, I want the three of us alone”

“Then you guys should go then, I will stay here back with Antara because I can’t leave her alone here”I said stubbornly and Mira sighed.

“You’re just being stubborn”She mumbled defeated and I pouted.

“Okay fine, if she agrees to follow us”

“Yay!, thanks sis, I’ll go talk to her now”I said hurriedly turning to go but mom held me.

“Aren’t you eating again?”

“I’ll eat when I’m back”

“Okay take care of yourself”

Antara

Ryan barge into my room all of a sudden and I stood up from the bed.

“Haven’t I told you to always knock on the door anytime you want to enter the room?”I snapped.

“I’m sorry”He apologized.

“Why are you here?”

“Eva is here to see you?”

“Which Eva?”

“Your friend of course”

“Why’s she here?”

“I don’t know, you should go attend to her”He replied and walk out of the room.

Why’s she here?

What bring her here this evening?, we just departed not long ago”

I shrugged and slip my legs into my slippers before walking out of the room.

I got to the living room and met her chatting with my mom.

She notice my presence in the room and look up immediately.

“Hah! thank God you’re here “She breath in relief.

“What’s it?, why are you here?”

“I came here for something important, let’s go outside to talk about it”

She grab my hands and drag me outside the room, we both sat at the small bench outside the house and she stare at me for a while before talking.

“Seriously Eva, why will you ask me to follow you?, you knew I have slot of responsibilities on my shoulders here in Mumbai, I don’t think following you to Manilla will solve anything, I’m not going”I said vehemently and she sighed.

“I knew your fears Antara, I understand you quite well but I want you to trust me, there are lot of job opportunities out there in Mumbai and through this, you’ll be able to take care of your family, My sister even promised us to help us look for a job”

“Really?”

“Yeah, I mean it”She assured me and I sighed softly.

“When are we going?”

“Tomorrow’s evening”

“What!, How did you expect me to explain it to mom?”

“I told mom already and she gave in after assuring her but she’s scare you won’t give in”

“Really?”

“Yeah, I have to persuade my sister so let you follow us, please don’t disappoint me”She said rather pleadingly and I chuckle.

“I’ll think about it Eva, I will call you tomorrow to let me know my decision”

“Okay thanks, I have to go now”

“Okay good night”I bade her good bye before walking to the room.

The next morning.

I pack the clothes neatly inside my small traveling bag , Mom came in the moment with the new soap she went to buy and I shook my head.

I’ve tried persuading her not to worry about it but she won’t listen, she wants me to take everything along with me.

“Mom, I told you not to worry about this, all what I need will be made available there”

“Let me worry, what if they didn’t make enough provisions for you there, let me worry please”

“Okay mom”I roll my eyes and collect it from her, I quickly stuff it into the bag and zip it up.

Later in the evening, Eva came with her sister and and after some emotional moments, I bade mom goodbye before walking out of the house to the car they brought.

When I get inside the car, her sister drove off the compound.
