He’s My Delilah Chapter 16-It can’t Be

Falcon’s POV

Look at my love,what did they do to him? He looks weak,tired and injured. My parents head to their seats after nodding to me.
“This council will resume tomorrow!” Father announces in his no nonsense voice.
Everyone scampers out,I turn to my Ayan and my heart clenches in pain,I feel his despair and suffering,
I kneel down next to him but he keeps his head bowed down,
“Ya rouhi,(My beloved),look at what they did to you!” I say and reach out to hug him,
But he shrinks away from me,he seems to be in shock, he let’s out a blood curdling scream and I look at him in confusion, he grabs his head,shaking it,
“Anaa laa afham(I don’t understand),What is going on? Who are you? I see the face,my heart tells me one thing, my eyes say something else? Where is my falcon? I want to see him, I need him…..” He says and breaks into heart wrenching sobs,his body shaking.
“I am here for you, it’s me” I say quietly
He shakes his head in disbelief, I know he sees the truth but he can’t process it.
I take off my Royal head dress,my crown and the royal robe. Beneath them, am wearing my usual black robes…..
“Look into my eyes,they never lie” I say
He looks into my eyes,tentatively reaches out,hands shaking and touches my face,he comes closer and nuzzles my neck,he sniffs it and his body becomes less tense,I feel warm tears on my neck,he opens my robe and checks for the tatoo on my chest,he sits back and breaks out into a fresh set of sobs,
“It really is you,you lied,why?” He whispers
“I am so sorry, I didn’t mean to, the first time we met,you didn’t know who I was,I liked you and for the first time, I wanted to be liked for being just a man,not because I am a prince”
He keeps crying,
“I understand, but now am heartbroken, I am just slave, who am I to complain? Your the crown prince Malik, your the future king,you can’t claim me,yet the things I feel for you in heart! Now I have to give  you up” he says
“Never! I said I’ll chain you by my side,I will never let you go, I’ll keep fighting for you, I would be honored to claim you” I reply
Ayan looks up in shock,
“You would claim me? As yours? He asks eyes hopeful
I kneel down and hold his chin,
“Ana bahebak(I love you),habib albi(love of my heart),enta habibi(you are my love)” I reply
“Even though am a slave?” He asks
“Yes,you are handsome, loyal and you complete me,ya hayati(my life)” I reply
“I don’t know what to say,I’ve never had anyone to call my own, I never knew my parents, I have no family” he says
“I am your family now, I love you ” I say
“Ana bahebak(I love you),ya amar(my moon)” he whispers shyly
“Let’s go take care of you” I say
“What about the council? I didn’t poison you” he says
“I know, we’ll find out tomorrow at the council meeting” I reply.
I lift him and cradle him to my chest and take him to my room.
On entering,I find the doctor waiting and my parents as well. I put Ayan on the bed and my parents check on him,they are clearly concerned about him.
“Mother,stop,you are embarrassing him” I say
“Why,he is my son in law,the future consort, I have to worry about him” she replies
“Thank you your highness” Ayan replies.
“Your my child now,we are going to be family,am going to be your mother too” she says and hugs my sobbing future consort.
Tomorrow people will pay for making him suffer!…….

Sorry its late.
