Hart to Hart
Princess Hart
Part Two
Jonathan, Jennifer and Max sat down enjoying the meal Jennifer had made for them. Jennifer even filled Freeway's bowl with a nice meal as well.
While Jonathan didn't mind the change of food he did have a problem with his wife claiming to be an Egyptian princess. After everyone was done eating Max finally convinced Mrs. H to let him clean up the dishes.
"The dinner was great, but darling a princess." Jonathan said.
"Yes, don't you believe me?" Jennifer asked.
Jonathan sat there for a moment and looked into the pleading eyes of his wife, he knew he had to answer this carefully.
"Darling…maybe I don't remember." Jonathan said cleaning up his answer.
Jennifer's tense eyes lighten up as she kissed Jonathan on the cheek. With a smile she stood up and walked into the living room with Freeway following right behind her.
Max walked back over to Jonathan who could only sigh; he rubbed his temples as Max sat down beside him.
"So Mrs. H believes she's an Egyptian princess." Max stated
"I guess that makes me Prince Metacortez." Jonathan added.
"Well once we find this Assad guy we can ask him or perhaps Mrs. H can shed some light on all of this." Max said.
"You know Max that's not a bad idea."
The front door closed when the phone rang at the same time. Max and Jonathan split up; Max went to grab the phone while Jonathan walked out the main door to find his wife.
Outside Jennifer found herself walking among several vehicles parked in the open garage.
"What strange metal horses, how I wish I could ride on one." Jennifer wondered.
Freeway barked and wagged his tail. Jennifer smiled as she bent down and scratched the pup behind the ears.
"Well then I guess that makes two of us let's go." Jennifer said happily.
Freeway barked when Jennifer opened the door to the pastel yellow Mercedes Benz. Freeway hopped in and sat in the passenger seat. Jennifer put the key in the ignition with a smile when she turned on the vehicle. She pressed down on both petals the sound of the roaring engine scared her. Soon the door opened and sitting beside her in the passenger seat was Jonathan. He turned the off car and placed the keys in his pocket.
"Sorry Onuris I merely wanted to ride in the metal horse." Jennifer admitted.
"Onuris? I thought my name was Metcortez?" Jonathan asked.
Jonathan could tell that name seem to upset Jennifer. She looked out the window then back at her husband.
"Your true name is Onuris Hafsah a good man for the people and my name is Jendayi Takarte. You could never be Abubakar Metcortez." Jennifer said seriously.
Jonathan placed his hand on his wife's who blinked away a few unwanted tears.
"This is upsetting you we can stop talking about it." Jonathan said.
"I would like that thank you." Jendayi said.
Before either of them could say another word an loud uncontrollable cough left Jendayi's lips. Jonathan rubbed his wife's back. After a few moments she cleared her throat and looked back at Jonathan.
"Are you okay?"
"Yes, I just needed to clear my throat." Jendayi replied.
Max walked outside toward the pastel yellow car. Jonathan stepped out of the car then helped his wife when Max finally reached them.
"What is it Max? Jonathan asked.
"A call for Mrs. H." Max said.
Jendayi walked into the house with her husband and picked up the receiver. At first she couldn't understand why she didn't hear anything but Jonathan fixed that by turning the receiver around.
"Hello." Jennifer said.
"Hello Mrs. Hart I believe you have gotten the talisman I sent you." Assad said.
"Yes and I thank you." Jendayi said.
"Your prince awaits you." Assad said.
Jennifer took a deep breath before she responded.
"I am already with my prince."
After those words the rest of the conversation was in a foreign language. Yelling could be heard over the phone, but Jendayi remained calm and after a few minutes she hung up the phone.
"What did he say?" Jonathan asked.
"Assad said he will come to the house to talk to us." Jendayi said.
Jonathan nodded while he was happy Assad is willing to talk to them he did notice the sadness and fear emulating from his wife. Jonathan pulled her into a much needed embrace. She buried her head into his chest when another heavy cough escaped her lips. Jonathan rubbed her back and waited for her minor coughing fit to subside. She looked up at Jonathan with a heavy sigh.
"What's wrong darling? Jonathan asked.
Perhaps it's time for me to tell you the truth about Prince Metcortez." Jendayi said in a frightened tone.
