Chapter 71: The Birth mark

'What's wrong with her?' Milan wondered. 'Why would she keep distance with a great guy like him?' Milan sat at the couch seeing Fariya and Aizen. Fariya looked really uncomfortable and something seemed to be bothering her real bad. She kept moving her hands towards her stomach and walked into washroom to check if she had got her period to go through such terrible pain. Milan felt bad for her. Sometimes she would use her power on Fariya to put her at ease killing the pain but it was temporary. 

Aizen was not noticing it. He had no idea that she is in pain. He prepared food for her and watched out of the window often to see if the rain had stopped. He had no clothes to wear and had to drop by at his house around the block. He served the dinner and waited for Fariya to come out of the room. 

"What's wrong?" He asked her.

'She won't be well for few months now on,' Milan said. But since they could not hear it she sat there watching them having food while her stomach growled.

"Nothing," Fariya said and smiled tiredly. 

'But why did Aqua choose these two?' Milan wondered watching them closely. She could not find any super natural traces. 'Could it be coincidence that she found the freshly mated couples and entered her egg to develop into a fetus?' Milan struggled to find an answer by herself. 'But why?'

"You look sick," Aizen pointed out as Fariya kept sweating. 

"I think am coming down with flu," she said. "I feel tired and," she stooped. She didn't wish to talk further. She felt embarrassed to be going through such situations thinking that mating has caused her sickness instead of feeling excited. 

'What a dummy are you Fariya?' Milan said. 'How can love make you sick?' She shook her head with disappointment. 

Aizen finished his dinner and got up from the chair. "I really need to get back and get some of my clothes? Will you be alright? I will try to come back soon when the rate of rain comparatively decreases. " he said and got dressed. He walked towards her leaned down, stroking her hair and kissing on her forehead. She smiled and watched him leave the room. She kept the spoon down and drank the soup all together directly form the bowl and had her side dishes. She searched for her bag of chips and opened them. She at all cost wanted to ignore the uncomfortable feeling inside her body and decided  to watch a movie. She put on Avengers from Part 1 and binge watched all of them from 7 P.M. By the time she finished the movies it was almost early in the morning, 3. A.M. Fariya was too sleepy and tired that she forgot about her pains. She fell into a deep sleep and did not wake until it was 11 in the morning. She got the best 8 hours of sleep. She jumped up from the bed as she smelled something amazing coming from the kitchen.

She ran outside the room and saw nobody. There was hot food in the casserole. It was stir fried juicy beef noodles and crispy fried spicy chicken wings. She felt thankful towards Aizen to have done it for her. She quickly brushed her teeth and dug into her food. 

The noodle tasted like heaven and the chicken too juicy and crispy as she took each bite. The spiciness was the best and she licked her finger tips as she had them one by one. Milan watched her smiling as she enjoyed her food. Milan was proud of herself to have cooked such a great meal for Aqua. 

"Thank you so much Aizen," she said after finishing the meal and got up, holding the dishes and walking towards the kitchen. 

"It's not your boy friend who made it you dummy it is me," she said and sat straight in the cough, arms crossed across her chest. Suddenly an idea lighted in her head. She got up and left the house. Milan once again walked into a shop, this time for clothes. She tried some cool designs and loved them. "Earth sure has some fine things, " she though looking at her self in the mirror wearing pink laces frock with frills. She also took some jean, some jackets, cardigans and tank tops. She was shocked to see the lingerie section and wondered how people wear them. She tried a few and was shocked to see how it gave a shape to her body.  She took them along and bought few things for Fariya. Especially the night wears since she has got a man. Milan put the gold coins on the counter and took the clothes and left the shop.

By the time she reached back home, Aizen was back. He seemed to have come home dripping in water. Fariya was busy helping him dry up walking around behind him with towels. 

Carefully Milan disappeared into her room and filled her wardrobe with few stuff she bought for her. Couple of them were maternity clothes. And she put them at the back for Fariya to not find it in front. Milan then walked back to the living room sat on the usual place in the couch. Living invisibly is not that bad but a bit boring. 

Aizen took off his shirt and Fariya handed him a fresh one from his backpack. It was then Milan noticed something.  A birthmark. A white arrow shaped birthmark that she was very familiar with. Milan turned away as her heart grew tensed for a moment.  She was reminded of Aiden. She touched her heart and got up walking towards the window to look outside.  She did not wish to watch the couple getting all lovey dovey. 

Milan recalled the first time she saw the birthmark. It was around that same time she opened up to her sister. 

Milan confessed about her feelings and walked out of her sister's chamber in the Sea Palace. She felt relieved to have opened up to her sister about her heart. She had hope now. She wanted to give see Aiden since has has moved to the main palace taking the title as Grand Prince of Water Realm. She walked straight to his chamber. She remembered to carry some plums and peaches with her to present him. 

But she did not expect to see him in an undressed state. He was wearing only the bottom piece. His muscular body with sweat dripping down, he seemed to be training with her sword. He had white cloth covered in his palms as he held the sword. She wanted to know if he was alright.  But he was not shy nor cared to dress up, but she was. It didn't dawn to her how he used to run away and dress up whenever he saw Aqua but never when she is around. Love blinded her from seeing the truth. 

Aiden kept practicing and Milan stood watching him. It is then she noticed a white arrow shaped birth mark on his chest. She carelessly walked towards his and touched his birthmark which caught Aiden by surprise. He stood still, frozen. She ran her finger over the mark. For the first time there was tension between the two. Aqua walked in at the right time. She was surprised to see her sister, Milan progressing with Aiden instantly even before she had moved on. Aqua turned away and left. Aiden saw this. He took Milan's hands away and looked at her. Their eyes locked. Milan's heart fluttered. She was pushed away but she didn't care about it. 

"Don't  repeat this again and touch any man carelessly, people will misunderstand you princess, " he spoke to her formally. 

"But the mark, why do you have that?" She asked him.

"It is a birth mark, why wouldn't I have it? My father has the same," he told her and dressed up. He tired to do his hair but Milan offered to help. Couple of minutes later he left the chamber.  Milan stood there smiling like an idiot looking at her fingers. She giggled and left his chamber. She walked around the garden and saw him and Aqua. She was handing him a scroll. "I got this from shifu, but I don't think I have use of it any longer, why don't you learn this technique?" She said and gave him. 

It then occurred to Milan suddenly. 'Why am I different from Aqua?' She thought. She felt bad to have nothing to offer Aiden. She wished she was special too and motivated herself to go find some useful cultivation information from restricted library. She and her sister always broke into the library secretly that now she is used to it doing everything alone inside there. That way Milan practiced and learned the Forbidden weather control techniques when she is underage to obtain them. 

Milan looked her hands and tried to control the rain but it only got worse. "What are you doing Aqua?" She looked back at Fariya and Aizen. For a moment she thought she saw Aiden. Milan shut her eyes and opened them again. Blinking fast. "What on earth...?"
