Nu'aimat (COMPLETED)

Chapter 27 UP OUT MY FACE.

I nodded and walked out, not until i saw her face again.

Hours later and now late in the evening, after our magribh prayers,   it was time for the females to join us for the barbeque outside, the king and lots of the old ones have already retired for the night, i noticed all the husbands and boyfriends were all excited to see their wives and girlfriends, so there was alot of huggings and pecks as they arrive, while the ones still dating just hold hands and look at eachother with love, Harees who kept on complaining to me and who has a yellow face now was now with Zohra and on his hand was Tanisha, while Ubayd was two of my cousins Tahir and Mabad  the bachelors, they each had a can drink in their hands,

Uzair was nowhere to be found and that made my heart to beat faster, i just hope him and Nuaimat aren't together,

I looked around again and then by the entrance of the garden was Nuaimat, the blue and light green lights of the garden shown on her like some arab goddess, 

She has changed into an evening gown it was light peach sleeveless A line long gown, it has tiny red stone all over, then a short sleeved light weighed halve jacket, the long tail of her hair which shows was in an alternative braid was on shoulder, down her chest and almost her hip, and the top was covered in a peach hipstar hat, she looks kinda cute, in peach, she looked round a bit and her eyes landed on me, i found my right hand betraying me by waving at her, yes it betrayed me, but to my surprise she gave a smile and walked over to me,

"Can i have that, i am thirsty" she asked on reaching me and motioned to the bottled drink in my other hand, "sure" i said and offered her, she murmured a thanks and sipped in it, "so how was your Barbeque, did anyone noticed you sneaked off to see Sabira" she asked, i gave her a chuckle which meant i wasn't ready to answer that,

"Your Henna it looks good on your skin" i said, "oh thanks, Zohra urged me to put on the black Henna to but i prefer the red one" she said, "yeah the red suits your skin more" i said, She nodded "Ya Zaid, who will be decorating your horse" asked Nana who approached us with Jameena, Haifa and Lateefa,  "yes tell us, Ya Sani won't tell, ya Kashan wont tell, Ya Thauban wont tell and i heard Ya Waleed was planning on telling Nuaimat here to decorate his, and news flash he hasn't even said hy to her" said Haifa, "i think you will say Sabira" added Lateefa and before i could deny it, Sabira appeared and clinged to my arm, immediately my mood changed, "ofcause i will be the one to decorate his horse, infact i choose the perfect horse for him, wait till you see it my love", i pulled my arm from her grip with out replying and then Uzair came up to us, "ya Zaid your friend is the shy type unlike Ubayd" said Jameena, Uzair smiled and looked at Nuaimat, "you look good" he said with a smile, "thanks Doc, you look good to, i mean your hair cut" she said, she even noticed his hair cut, what's good about his hair cut, it is a crew cut just like mine,

"Just had it with Zaid's cousins, Qadir and Mabad" he said with a more wider smile because of her comment i bet,

"Well it is nice" she said again with a nod,

"So, will you be riding tomorrow" asked Haifa, "ofcause, he is a male Haifa and in this household so he will ride" said Lateefa,

"Oh then who will decorate your horse, i can do that, i have no one to decorate a horse for" said Jameena, all of us were shocked at her boldness, "don't act cheap Jameena" said Sabira sounding irritated and she snaked her hand round my hand again,

"Yeah says the one who is always clingy to the guy who is yet to say he loves you" said Jameena bluntly, Sabira was mouth agape and already furious, she opened her mouth to talk but was interrupted

"and besides, Uzair here is like a brother to her, just like ya Zaid and the rest, so this isn't cheapness if she offers to help him, what's the cheapness in offering to decorate a horse for your brother like guest, there aint none" said Nuaimat and she sipped her drink,

"Probably as cheap as she is, thats why you defended her, next time am talking with my cousin stay off, it's a FAMILY AFFAIR" snapped Sabira, Nuaimat will never keep quiet, "yeah family affair, a 25 year old interfering in the affairs of the 19, 20 and 18 year old, so pathetic, but i will let you be with your family affairs" said Nuaimat air qouting and with a scowl and a smile, just when Aunt Yusrah called her "hey Nuaimat, over here", probably to introduce her to her husband and co,   "coming aunt Yusrah, i will go, and leave you to your family affair" she air quoted again and then turn to walk to Aunt Yusrah but she turned and said "Ya Uzair, Jameena will be decorating your horse",

"Whose will you be decorating" i quickly asked, she gave a sad smile and send "i can take the day off" with that she walked to Aunt Yusrah, i saw Aunt Yusrah introducing her to her husband and then Aunt Yusrah turned and called my cousin Waleed, with that the couples left the place, i was suppose to be furious but it was funny how Waleed was so nervous and appeared to be shy as she looks at him, i won't blame him, because when Nuaimat looks at you at times, she gives you this crawling feelings that she knows what you are hiding, she knows what you did and what you about to do, i chuckled mentally when i saw him excusing himself and hurriedly walked off, just when a nephew of mine Haidar the son of  Raheemah came up to her, he is just a 10 year old boy, to my curiosity he pulled her to where his group are consisting of three boys of his age including him making four, they all looked excited to have her in their mist and they offered her a space in the middle of them on the long sofa they occupied, she sat down with them and they began to talk and laugh,

"I have being talking but your mind is somewhere else" said Sabira nudging my arm, i frowned and said "what now" and i noticed it was only i, Sabeera and Uzair,

"I was thinking if we should announce our engagement" she said,

"You and......" i asked with a raised eyebrow, she laughed and said, "i and you"

"When did i propose" i asked,

"You didn't so i was hoping you will, am not getting any younger" she said,

"You think, you and i will go futher, you think we have a chance" i ask and she stupidly nodded,

"Then think again, just because i let you be clingy to me, that doesn't mean i have any feelings for you" i said, she was taken aback and was now furious,

"All those years, i let you touch me" she said,

"Hell no, you were the one doing the touching if i recall, so don't accuse me that way, excuse me" i said clearly irritated and walked away a free man, hmmmm took me long enough to like tell her this and get it off my chest UP OUT MY FACE.
