"My king?" His bodyguard called as he was lost into staring at her.
"My king?" He called again, this time, he jolted out of his thoughts obviously.
"You should all stay here" he ordered in a his normal husky tone and walked into her room.
Naomi's eyes flicked as she thought she was dreaming because this is almost the first time she'll be seeing the King of her country, the same man that offered her and some potential students scholarship's.
"The King??" She uttered out in shock and moved back from the bed, she really didn't understand why he's in the room with her.
Was he passing by or just came into the wrong room?- she thought, gulping down her saliva as she felt tension with him in the same room as her.
"I deeply apologize for what happened and I hope you don't go around and run your mouth that the King almost killed you with his car" her eyes bulged at the way he talked rudely at her.
Just like the gentle person that she's, she only nodded her head to avoid unnecessarily long conversation and at first, she hated the way he spoke to her.
"My talks doesn't have a response?" He arched his brows, seems like teasing her would be so nice.
"I…no…I…understand" she stutter, not looking up even for a second.
He tilts his head and released soft chuckles before heading out.
What the hell was that?- she rasped out loudly. why can't you just say that to his face!
She really didn't get everything not until it dawned on her that she almost got hit by his car, just as she was about to hop down from the bed.
Two nurses walked in through the door with large bags in their hands, she only stared at them curiously.
"You can get discharged now, the King has ordered his guard's to take you home and your bag is already in the car, he also asked for this to be given to you" she flared her nose.
"Why did he act that way if he was later going to do this?" She asked herself rhetorically and shook her head and she walked behind the two ladies.
She gawk around when she got the car that was going to take her home, she's definitely not going to go with this car.
"I…my place isn't so far from here, I don't think I need to go with you guy…you.." she smiled bashfully.
"The King has ordered to do so" they said to her and anyone would think they were programmed to talk at the same time.
"But…"
"The people at my hostel will think differently about this and I really don't want to be the spotlight!" She thought, only if she could say that out to them then everything will have been so easier.
As if she was forced, she hopped into the car after getting the bags the nurses, her eyes were drooping as she stares into space whilst thinking about a way to pass without getting noticed which is totally impossible.
She breathed in and out as she hopped down from the car, the unnecessary talks and chatting voices of the people around got her to start trembling that the bag she was holding almost dropped from her hand.
Why's she so scared to face the people around her?
Well, it's because Naomi had always been the point of criticism wherever she went, they never talked about her looks but what she puts on, the talk badly about her rank and her poor status.
She neither talk to anyone nor interact with people in her hostel, it's her and her alone all the time.
She's had such a rough life, God knows when it's gonna get better for her.
"Miss?, Are you okay??" The man who was helping her to get the bags tried stepping closer to her but she jerked off without getting the bags.
"Isn't that Brilliant but poor?" One of the ladies around said as they saw her ran into the hostel.
"She's, guess she's trying to change her status by going around with rich guys too, it'll be the best because her position might never change" she was hearing every single word they said but couldn't say anything she walks past them.
"Naomi??" She turned back to see her ex friend who's long left her because of what happened between them.
Why's she calling for me??

"I found a love for me…." This line of the perfect lyrics wouldn't leave khalid's mouth as he walked into his mom's chambers.
"I'm back with a big news for you" he muttered, signalling his hands to the maids to excuse the room for them.
"You can go on if you want to" she didn't look into his direction as she only continue to blow on her fingernails.
"I found the woman of my dreams, the kind of lady you'll want, she's…"
"Before you start going on, what's her background, remember that you're the King of this nation and as the King's mother, I'll not allow you to marry a girl from a poor and nameless background!" He never bothered because she really didn't look poor to him, he'll find that out once he researched on her.
"That's nothing to worry about for now, I only came here to tell you that you have a daughter in law on the way" he rubbed his mouth and got up tiredly, like he had expected.
She never said anything as he walked out of her room, she was annoyed that he wasn't going to marry the woman she wants him to get married to.

"I'll like you to get me the information of that lady in the next 3 hours, call for the chief household on your way out" he ordered the man who was dressed in a working suit.
Almost immediately after the man left, the two bodyguards who had taken Naomi back to her hostel walked right into khalid's study.
"Your royal highness!" The two leaned over and got orders to rise immediately.
"We successfully brought her to her hostel but…
"But what, did she send a thank you letter or what?" He was so impatient and eager to hear what happened.
"She didn't take your gifts!" The blurted out.
