Black and White

Black and White

His Highness was sitting comfortably in his position;
Ably flanked by guards, the authority was very much visible.
But his face was not in his radiant best;
Something was troubling his otherwise peaceful mind.

************

She was the Princess of a country abundant in Gold, Diamonds & other precious gems
Known for her bravery & courage, she held her flag upright;
The strength of her army was also matching her potential;
The bold and beautiful lady was now ready for a war.

************

Rajesh is a man in his early forties;
He is known for his shrewd character and positive attitude,
Now he is in a tricky situation; a test for his never-say-die spirit.
And to ease himself from the mounting pressure, he drinks a lot of water.

************

It was war-time and the King ordered his men to guard the throne;
With each and every minute passing by, he feared the worst.

************

The Princess was riding her horse as fast as she can; the soldiers followed her obediently
A beautiful smile lit her face; she could sense something; yes, victory.

************

Rajesh looked at the small clock on the table; He had ample time.
He touched the Beautiful Princess and moved her gently near the tensed King.
Only one word uttered from his smiling lips - "Check-Mate".
