He’s My Delilah Chapter 28-Drama

Yasin’s POV(unedited)
It’s the wee early hours of the morning, Ayan and I are with some servants dressing up. We have to look like dancers from a far off land.
My hair is dyed ash blonde,almost white,I cried when they had to cut some of it. Mustafa liked my hair long. Ayan’s hair was dyed a fiery red,it went well with his eyes. We both wore silk sleeveless vests and baggy pants. We wore bangles on our hands,necklaces on our necks and trinkets on our arms. We even lined our eyes with kohl eye liner. We had to look like dancers and at the same time disguise ourselves because someone from Jalen might recognise us.
I carry cymbals while Ayan carries small hand drums. We also have small cross bags to complete the look.

As soon as we step out,the soldiers are already waiting for us. Everyone is quiet and solemn,praying everything goes well. We are taking a risk that could backfire at us.
Ayan and I acknowledge the captains of our armies plus our allies. We mount our horses and set off after getting blessings from our parents.
The villagers are safe and have been put in protected strong holds, they also come out to see us off,sending us off with blessings.

After a long,gruesome ride at a terrific speed,we cross the desert and enter into enemy territory. Tigran where they are is a huge walled city,I hear the wall is indestructible.
Out of the corner of my eye,I see the captain get down,
“This is where we stop and get ready to attack,we await your signal. We wish you the best. Hope you still remember the plan,sires? He says
” Yes,we do” Ayan replies
He gives us a beacon which we will use to signal them.
A soldier comes with us,he is the third person.
To avoid suspicion, we continue the journey on foot,we have to look like weary travellers.
By evening, tired and hungry, the three of us reach the City.
There are soldiers everywhere, they are on High alert and everyone entering the city is being thoroughly checked.
We enter the gate and the guard looks at us suspiciously,
“Where are you two from?” He asks
“We are from Sankra,we are traveller dancers,we go wherever the music takes us,we seek new lands,to entertain people” Ayan says flamboyantly.
Am surprised to see this side of Ayan, he is acting playful and seductive. The guards laugh and let us in.

We enter and soldiers are everywhere, the three of us go to the main castle and find people
gathered,people are whispering about a feast tonight, it’s going to be thrown in the palace. The main party for all and the Party for the important people! This was our chance! The perfect distraction.
I signal the soldier and Ayan to me,when they approach, I whisper to them,
“This is our chance,let’s make sure we get invited to the feast,as soon as they are drunk,we split and search for them, then we signal the army”
“You are right,but how do we get invited to the feast?” The soldier asks
“We are dancers aren’t we? Follow my lead” Ayan says
Out of nowhere,Ayan pushes me!
‘Shut up! I am the better dancer! You can’t move like me! Am a natural!” He yells
I get what he is trying to do! We pretend to be fighting over who the better dancer is,so that they will notice and make us prove who is better,hence we gain entrance to the feast.
‘You liar! Am better! I was born dancing,I move like the wind though graceful’ I reply
Ayan jumps on me and we start tasseling, rolling on the ground, trying to punch each other, till we are torn part!
“Enough!” Someone bellows, “what’s the matter?” He continues
“I am the better dancer!” Ayan says
“No! Its me” I reply
By now soldiers are gathered around, the man seems to think for a moment,
“Why don’t you two prove who is better tonight? We have a feast.
We pretend to scowl at each other and agree while Ayan winks at me..
A few hours later,the crowd is massive, word has gone around about the upcoming face off between two dancers.
The opening acts start and people cheer wildly,next the dancers perform and the crowd is wild by now,then its our turn.
Ayan and I face off, we dance our hearts out, the crowd divided, one half supporting me,the other Ayan.
After rigorous dancing,we face the generals for final judgement.
Suddenly, the crowd goes as quiet as a graveyard! A mammoth of a man steps up and he is staring directly at us!!!!He comes towards us with a sword, soldiers are surrounding him with swords drawn too, I turn and look at Ayan and the soldier
” Oh my God!,have we been discovered!!! “
