61 Born Genius (1/2)

It was a lovely morning . Alisha woke up quite early keeping the promised tour by Zen in mind. The chariot was ready and Zen stood their waiting for her . He had asked Alisha to hidee her face with a veil and wear broad spectacles while he disguised himself as Zorro in order to avoid attention .

”You are 10 minutes late !” Zen frowned .

”I'm sorry ! I tried my best to come sooner anyways lets go ” Alisha climbed up the chariot as Zen sighed and he sat next to her . Neil came to see them off. He had to stay back to take care of the palace and other important stuff in Zen's absence .

”Neil I'm counting on you ! ”

”Yes Your Majesty . Please worry not and have a safe journey Sir .  ”

”Thank you. Well then we will leave . ” Zen said as Neil nodded Alisha popped her head out and waved at Neil .

”Take care of yourself Neil and Ashia too . Father in law as well . Make sure he has proper meals and ....” Zen pushed her aside and asked her to be quiet .

”We will back in less than 2 days Alisha .” Neil smiled at her gesture as they began with their journey . He was relieved they finally had sometime to spend with each other . Probably it would give them an opportunity to understand each other . A key for a successful relationship . The weather was humid and dry air flew in through the window . They were almost half way to their destination . There were fields on either sides dried and parched . Somewhere Alisha could spot a Lonely tree . She was exhausted .  more importantly she was not someone who could sit on the same place for more than 40 minutes .

”Argghhhh Zen how long ! I can't sit anymore let's take break somewhere and eat ”

”What are you a kid ?” He said folding his arms across his chest

”I'm hungry ! Also you didn't let me eat breakfast properly I had to leave my food half eaten since you warned me that you would leave if I won't make it quick !! Have some mercy ”
