The ladies joined the group which was already gathered around a stage where children were singing Chritmas carols.
As the song finished, everyone clapped for those children making them take leave and giving place to the Queen who appeared there.
"Thank you children for this lovely time! You were all formidable. So nice!" And turning towards the crowd "Thank you everyone for your presence!" And in the crowd, there were also Imli and Vivaan among others.
And the Queen continued "Thank you so much for being here and for supporting these children from St Joseph's orphanage in this Christmas event. Since the time my husband, the king Kamal Narayanan has accepted to become the godfather of this orphanage, he always engaged himself to end this event with a happy speech." After a small silence "In order to continue the tradition, today, it's my son, your Prince, Suraj who will do it." With a smile adorning her lips "I ask you all to welcome Prince Suraj!" And everyone starts to cheer to welcome him.
"Prince Suraj!" Queen says once again before turning behind her to check to see that no one was in her vision level apart from her securities.
And the claps died as Queen called for her son once again as everyone's expression changed.
"Oh no!" Chakor exclaimed as her reporter instinct kicked in.
And the Queen hoping against hope that her son will come, continued to call for him while Vivaan was smiling ear to ear and Imli looked as if nothing is going to change by these calls and claps.
And the people started to talk between themselves over the event's happening in front of them!
"Will the crowning be delayed?" a reporter asked.
Turning towards the crowd "No! It's not!" Queen replied.
"Who is going to reign?" another question from another reporter.
"Please! No panic! He was here! I saw him a minute ago!" Queen.
Pakhi facing her friend "I know where he can be! Let's go by this way!" she says as they moved from their spot without anyone's notice.
"Suraj will be here soon." Queen trying to calm her people.
***
The two ladies enter the St Joseph Orphanage to find Suraj playing in snow with kids there.
"Need to add a bit of snow here! And dress it up!" a child said.
"A hat is needed!"
"A scarf too!" another one.
"Superb!" as the kids give a last touch up to the snowman they were doing along with the Prince.
"I knew it!" Pakhi said "Each time we organize an event of charity for the Orphanage, he always comes here to spend time with them."
"He is really so attached to these children!" Chakor said as they heard him.
"Solders! On your mark!" Prince as the children ran and stood at a distance "Now I have a bad news for you all! Our snowman has cheated us, so to punish him" as he turned he saw his sister and her tutor waving at him. Passing a smile to them, he continued "We are going to launch snowballs on him!"
With a serious face "Are you all ready?"
"Yes! Children cried in unison."
And he started to count with having 2 spectators "Three! Twooo! And one! Shoot!" and he was bombarded with the snow balls!
"You asked for it!" Pince said as he started to throw snowballs too.
And everyone enjoyed in snow while Chakor took her camera out and started to shoot it, thinking of seeing a different someone here.
***
Back to the palace, in Queen's study room.
"Suraj! I'm asking you an explanation for not exercising your responsibilities!" Queen to her son as they were standing facing each other in the silence of the room.
