Princess: Nuance Of Love Book 1 (27 page)

She arched her back slightly off the
mattress without letting go of his lips. He slowly moved his
attention to her neck, kissing it, enjoying the soft scent that her
smooth skin emitted. She moaned softly as his tongue traced her
neck down to her shoulder, the sound of her moans made his blood
boil.

He pushed her legs apart to be able to
position himself between them, “Mita, I’m sorry this is going to
hurt a bit.” He whispered as he nibbled her ear gently.

Paramita gasped as she felt his manhood
touching her most intimate place, becoming nervous as he slowly
pushed himself into her. She grabbed hold of his shoulder, pushing
her face against his broad chest as she cried in pain. Wanting to
pull herself away, but he held her firmly, he stopped and remained
still without removing himself from her. “It’s okay…” He whispered
persuasively.

He gently began to push forward again,
this time she can feel him halfway inside her. He kissed her lips,
one hand caressed her hair and while the other kneaded her breast,
she groaned as his touch began to excite her again. He took the
opportunity to push away her remaining barrier, she whimpered as a
sharp sting ran across her body.

“Now, I’ve made you mine.” He murmured
in her ear as he slightly pulled back and gently thrusting forward
again.

Paramita’s body quivered as her body
surrendered in to ecstasy.

The Sultan had ordered Ali to not come
to the palace until the ligature marks on his neck and bruise on
his jaw had disappeared to avoid unnecessary speculations. Ali
helped her walk downstairs to the dining room to have breakfast.
Seeing them together, the maids smiled at them
mischievously.

"Did I grow a giant mole on my face
overnight?" Paramita whispered to him.

"Let me take a look.....nope." Ali
replied.

"Then why are the maids giving me that
look?" She asked again.

"What look?" He pretended not to
understand.

"The 'I know what you've been up to'
look."

"Well, we've just got married
yesterday, and our hair is still humid from the shower. I think,
they do know what you've been up to, especially after they clean
our room later, they'll be one hundred percent sure about
it."

"Oh my goodness, you're so shameless,
don't talk to me." She said, "Speaking of which, I think I should
go back upstairs and take off the sheets, before anybody sees
it."

"Don't bother. I think they have to see
what's there and report to the Sultan, your father."

"Ugh, him..." Paramita
mumbled.

"If we clean it up, they might think
we're hiding something. It's better for them to see the stains, so
they know that I succeeded to be your first....and only." He said
while pinching her nose, making the maids giggle. He helped her sit
on a chair and sat next to her.

Raden Hamza and Raden Nabilla entered
together, "How are you doing this morning, Ananda?" She greeted
Paramita with a big smile.

"I'm very well thank you." She
replied.

"I'm glad to see that you have
recovered quickly." Said Raden Hamza while sitting at the head of
the table.

"Good morning" Hafiz shouted cheerfully
while walking through the door, he looked at Paramita, "Good
morning, you're still here? That's good we'll have time to catch
up."

"My wife and I will be living here for
a while until our residence is ready." Ali responded.

"Wife?" Hafiz asked.

"Your brother and Ananda Puteri were
officially married yesterday, this was a decision made by His
Majesty." Raden Hamza answered on their behalf.

"Oh, nice to know that I wasn't
invited." Hafiz said.

"Don't feel bad, I wasn't either."
Paramita answered.

"Oh..." Hafiz answered while looking at
her, "Then there's not much left to say than congratulations, is
there?"

"Thank you." Ali replied to his brother
while moving s strand of hair from Paramita's forehead.

"I hope you'll excuse me, I'm not
hungry anymore. I'm going straight to work." Hafiz said while
leaving the dining room.

"Hafiz, wait, I need to talk to you."
Paramita said, standing up and slowly walking towards the direction
Hafiz had left to. Ali quickly followed her.

She caught up with him in the hall,
"Hafiz, I hope we can get along well."

"Why can't we? I mean the girl I love
is my sister in law now." He replied.

"Hafiz, do you honestly love me? Or are
you just being capricious because you lost something that you've
taken for granted all this time?" She interrogated.

"You're the person who knows my
personality best."

"I'm still your best friend, you know."
She said, "But just in case you're going to be difficult about this
whole sister in law situation, should I remind you why you hate me
so much in the first place?"

"You wouldn't dare...." He
said.

"Don't you know me by now?" She said
with a straight face.

"Die, you evil witch!" He said pointing
his fist out in the air.

Paramita turned around and ran behind
Ali while laughing. Ali felt himself get caught in the merriment,
and smiled. She peeked at Hafiz, and poked her tongue at
him.

"I'll keep my mouth shut if you drop
the 'girl that I love' nonsense." She said.

"I feel bad for my brother." Hafiz said
at last. "Abang, good luck dealing with Madam Evil here! I'm going
to work, I'll see you two later. Hah! See that! I actually work and
practice what I studied in University! So There!" He said while
walking away from them.

Hafiz walked into his car, before he
started the engine he turned towards the door, "Alright Mita." He
said, "You waited for me through countless girlfriends, now it's my
turn to wait for you to realize that you're in a doomed marriage.
You'll see who would be there for you when he goes crawling back to
that woman again.

Chapter Twenty
Three

Paramita opened the bedroom door to
answer the knock, "Your Highness Puteri, Doctor Johan is here to
see Raden Ali." The maid that was knocking at the door asked
her.

"Thank you. I will let him know." She
answered.

She closed the door and went to Ali who
was reading some reports on his desk, "Abang, there's a Doctor
Johan downstairs looking for you." She told him.

"Oh, he's the doctor who treated you
for the drugging." He explained, "You should come downstairs with
me so he can take a look at you."

"Okay."

Doctor Johan stood up when he saw them
entering the living room. He was dumbstruck when he saw Paramita,
"Your Highness Puteri, you're walking around already?"

"Umm, why wouldn't I be?" She
asked.

"The reason that I rushed here after
receiving the report of your blood analysis." He paused and
swallowed his saliva, "The drug in your blood, it wasn't PCP. Well,
it did contain PCP, but there were other components in
it...

Suddenly Maya interrupted," Excuse me,
Raden Ali, there is a call for you from your assistant, he said
it's urgent."

"Excuse me, I need to take this call."
Ali said as we walked out of the living room.

"Doctor, please continue, with your
explanation." She told him.

"Oh yes Mam." He stuttered, "After
doing an analysis of foreign chemical compounds diluted in your
blood, we found that there were two types of drugs given to you.
One is a regular over the counter estrogen based anti-conceptive,
and the other is a test drug developed for Jothar's military
forces. Please take a look at this report. Puteri, I treated many
soldiers who were a part of the control group in this experiment,
none of them are able to walk talk normally like you after
ingesting it."

She looked through the report, "Doctor,
could it be that the high estrogen level in my blood at the time,
actually attributed to my recuperation?"

"I suspect as much." He
replied.

Paramita thought about his words,
"Doctor, what is this drug called?"

"It was patented under the commercial
name Extemiva."

"One moment, commercial name? I thought
you said that this was a military drug experiment?"

"But the military was not the only
party involved, You Highness. They were in partnership with Holy
Mountain Pharmaceuticals, this company was the one who patented the
drug."

"Holy Mountain Pharmaceuticals? Where
have I heard that name before?" She searched her memory, then it
suddenly hit her. "Of course, it all makes sense now. Doctor. I
don't want you to tell any of this to my hu.... Umm...Raden Ali. Am
I clear?"

"But Your..."

"I'm keeping this report. I repeat, I
don't want you to say anything to him, until I have spoken to my
father. Do I make myself clear, Doctor?" She repeated.

"Yes Mam."

"Given the seriousness of the matter,
if I find out that you disobeyed me, I will have you executed." She
bluffed. "Please keep in mind who my father is."

"Mom." His voice was
shaking.

Just then Ali came back into the living
room. "Sorry, it took so long, they needed some reports. I had to
let them know where to find it so they can print a copy. So Doctor
you were saying about the other components?"

"There were other components that
minimized the effect of the drug, so Her Highness Puteri is fine
now." The doctor responded while glancing at her for
approval.

Ali smiled, "I'm relieved to hear that,
so Puteri won't have any more problems because of this?"

"No, sir. Your Excellency" He answered
cautiously.

"Abang, now that Doctor Johan has
examined me and confirm that I'm in good health. I would like to go
and see my father." She said.

"Oh, sure. If you're feeling well
enough we can go today." He answered.

"Thank you." She smiled.

"What did he talk to you about?" Ali
asked.

"No, nothing, it was just a curious
medical fact that the doctor was kind enough to share with me,
nothing important." She said.

"Hmm, okay." He answered not too
convinced.

"Don't worry about it." She said again,
"Doctor, you are excused now." She shoos him away.

"Your Highness, Your Excellency, Please
excuse me." He quickly said, then turned around to leave the living
room. "What a scary woman." He thought to himself.

* * *

Paramita and Ali waited for the
Attendant to announce their arrival to the Sultan. They were shown
into the study, where the Sultan usually passed his afternoon
leisurely reading. "Well, this is a pleasant visit, Ananda, I'm
glad to see that you are back to normal now." He greeted
them.

"Good afternoon, Father." She replied
to him, then kissed his hand.

"Good afternoon, Father." Ali also
saluted in the same manner.

"Come, sit down. Tell me, how are you
feeling? Is it alright for you to be walking around after what
happened?" He asked his daughter.

Paramita was feeling very anxious and
impatient, "Ayahnda, I am feeling very well, in fact, I am
Extemivally well." She said emphasizing.

The Sultan looked at her with a
surprised expression, his face turned pale, he turned to Ali and
said. "Umm.... Ananda Ali, you couldn't have arrived at a more
perfect time. I need you to help me with something. Please take the
documents on the desk to the office of the Minister of Agriculture.
I have reviewed your proposal, and I like it, but there are some
details that need to be updated by his department. It would be
better if you take it there yourself, so you can personally present
your idea to the Minister and see how he thinks about it. Tell his
assistant that I personally sent you, so you wouldn't need to make
an appointment."

"I, Paduka. Excuse me. Mita, please
wait here until I get back. Don't go wandering off by yourself,
it's too dangerous."

"Okay." She answered
shortly.

He picked up the document from the desk
and left the study, gently closing the door behind him.

"What is this about Extemiva?" He asked
her without further small talk after making sure that Ali had left
them.

"Oh, so you do know about it, Father?"
She asked him back.

"It was a Military test drug. During
the time your uncle Pangeran Bashir was the Minister of Defense,
they experimented with it on the Jothar elite forces. How did you
hear about it?"

"I heard it from Doctor Johan, the
doctor that attended me when I was drugged. According to my blood
analysis, the drug given to me had all the components of
Extemiva."

"That's impossible."

She took out the folded report from her
handbag. "Here, take a look."

He read it, then looked at her, "Are
you alright? Are you showing any symptoms? We should check you into
a hospital right away and have you under observation."
