Soul Together in a Cursed Castle (part 1)
It was a clear sunny day. Once there’s a great kingdom was ruled by most lovable but adamant king named Omar bin Hamzah, lived in Zyamiah. The kingdom had twin princesses named Annah binth Omar, the youngest, Safwah binth Omar, and the eldest. Annah was having the habit of wandering around the forest ‘cause she loves to be alone more than being with someone. But Safwah was completely contrasted to Annah though they’re identical twins. Safwah would like to be with her parents especially with her first mom thought she was born for the second one. Annah cozy with darkness and nature. She’d like to introduce herself as a self loving person. She was matured to know how to behave herself to others. Every one of them had good Islamic disciplines.

They never forget to salah for five times. The king was so conscious about this even with his country people. He built a mazjid, the place where Muslims used to do their prayers. He even followed the rules that sentenced in Qur’an for crimes. Once in a while Annah was wandered in the forest as singing and picking flowers, eating fruits and climbing trees. Up there from the top of the tree she saw a young boy, named Azman bin Aarif crossing by. She noticed this for few days without intentions and for the very next day she sounded weirdly. He was afraid of that sound in the middle of the forest and started to run. She laughed to death at him. She continued this for a month as sounded him like a lion, bird, and wolf and sometimes as a weird witch that prophesying for his future. It was continued for a while and one day he figured that it was someone who is mocking him. But he continued acted as he was afraid of those sounds.

On that day he was caused to go earlier for his sword practices, he went and returning on his way to castle. By that time he noticed a girl wondering in the forest, enjoying herself admiringly. She was singing a song and lying on the grass field. He was mesmerized by her song and he was wondering at her the way she cozy with loneliness. He hid himself and watching over her.

Mean while she suddenly woke up and rapidly climbed a tree and searching. He founded that she was mocked him for past days. So to be getting clear he passed by the tree as usually. Then he heard terrific laugh. He got confirmed that she has been doing it. He stopped by the tree and asked who that was. She sounded like a witch and asked from where he got the courage to stand like this. He answered that was met with an angel and got vivid knowledge. So he needs not to afraid these anymore. Also he revealed that he knew who it was. It made her feel so embarrassed. Then he took his leave. She jumped to the ground and ran behind him. She couldn’t reach him. He reached his castle and was so thoughtful about Annah. He became caught love sick. He started to smile by himself as if he was thinking something.

Even talking to himself became one of his habits. He found solitude was so cozy. He proposed this to his dad, king of neighboring country, Azyroph. King was not ready to accept because he already hostile with Zyamiah. So he thought that was a golden opportunity. The king was planned to be pretend as he was accepted to this marriage in front of the prince but he was actually wanted to betray him. The prince trusted his dad and planned to be well prepared as a groom. He wantedly stopped using that way to his practice to make her miss him. He took long time to go back. So he planned to learn everything that a prince should know to rule his country. He thought that was the only thing which helps him to confess her.

By the way he wants to make her surprised by revealing that he’s the prince of neighboring country. Her behavior and activities were slightly changed which made her parents suspect her behaviors. She kept maintaining herself literally alone and had spent all day at forest. Her mom were scolded her for her attitude for many times. They expected her to be a perfect princess. She should know all the culture, tradition, some of the family rights and restrictions. On the whole, the kingdom and the country people expected her to take her responsibility for their country.

Annah never felt that way in her heart. She felt that soft and gentle red chamber like heart was wiped up its happiness and poured with damn reality. She started hating the reality that taken her happiness and made her to behave as she had grown up. By nature Annah was a single spirit who loves solitude. Annah was so down on that day and as usually she went to the forest and sat under the tree which she used to play these days. She kept thinking all about the expectations of her family and country people. She chewed all the happenings in her mind. It drove her to unconscious state of thinking. She didn’t even know what was happening around her.

Azman return to the forest after a long day to meet her. He was so intended to confess his marriage proposal to her. He...
