Nu'aimat (COMPLETED)

Chapter 44 WE MISS YOU

She chuckled and said "well thanks for the comfort and for that i will make you an apple pie", i gave an inaudible Yippy and set to sit down, she gave me a why look,

"I love watching you cook, its beautiful" i said, she eyed me a bit and before she turned away i added "you know my best moment was that night i met you in the kitchen and you cooked for me, it is a priceless moment for me, i will give up everything for a night like that again",

Nuaimat regarded me for some seconds and quietly resumed her work, i wish she will just forgive me and for the second time allow me into her heart, i promise to give her all the love she will ever want, i will make her mine alone, i will make her happy, but before that i want to make sure Tanisha is mine alone, that stupid Abbah wont show up, that's why i am presently working on something.

Muayad

Nuaimat's is just too smart and easily grabs on, she is right we are planning on something for her birthday, but she doesn't know our main guests of honour and am sure she will like it and it will make her happy, everything was in order we were just waiting for an hour after Iftar, our guests will be arriving, actually the master plan of this was Ya Zaid, he really wants to see her happy and get over her past, the problem with her is that she is very hard to impress, but i hope this impresses her,

After iftar and all prayers for the night , in Ya Zaid's sitting room, Zohra pulled out Nuaimat to probably start getting ready,

Zohra

"Time for your party" i said as i pulled her and Tanisha up to our wing,

"I knew there was a party" she said giving a yippy,

"Yeah but the surprises are coming" i said as we entered my room, "surprises, you mean there are lots of it" she asked,

"Yes and one is this" i said handing her a wide covered box, she gave me a poker face and removed the lid, inside was an Arabian gown, i designed myself, it was a red fitted high waist gown which has elbow length sleevess, i took my time to hand embroider the front view, that is the chest to the sleevless in a golden peacock style, then the back view were single single embroidered designs of mine, then from the waist down was plain excep for tiny golden stones i hand gummed to it, it was a v neck and closed back , believe me if i should sell that to anybody i will sell it for halve and a quarter million thousand in nigerian currency, i put on a hard work on that,

i brought her a ruby stoned and pure gold earings, then a red plartform red heeled shoe having golden strap and golden stones, and the heel was golden, well i designed the shoe and have it made, on seeing everything, she dropped it and gave me a bone crushing hug, in that hug i felt the untold words of her heart, i giggled and then she let go of me, just for me to turn and see Tanisha pouting, "oh i know that face, but guess what, what is a birthday lady without her adoring daughter" i said and with that i forwarded another box to Tanisha who excitedley begun to open it, i designed hers to, it was almost the same designs with Nuaimat, but hers was armless, knee lenght and was yellow Gold in colour with white designs, her shoes were white and so was her earings of white gold, "i love you Momma" she shouted giving me a hug,

"I love you to Baby" i said pecking her and i added, lets give Mummy a space to dress up while we dress up in your room, my gown will surely surprise you" with that i and Tanisha went out.

Nuaimat

After my quick bath, i was now eager to dress up in Zohra's gift, i so much love it, i have now made my hair into an elegant knot updo, i heard a knock, i was with a robe, so i gave the permission to come in,

Ya Zaid came in with a small box on his hand, he wore a white waist lenght plane white top, which has a tail that was pass his waist, it was long sleeved and has black cuff links, it was colar less, but high neck, then black skinny trousers and a black slip on shoe, He was looking charming as usual, i mentally rolled my eyes, duhh he always does,

he gave me a smile and said "Happy birthday" ,

I returned the smile and said "thank you"

"Fake eyelashes" he asked motioning to my now thicker black eyelashes, i fluttered my eyelashes at him and said "never, just mascara", he giggled and said

"I thought i should give you this in person and even take the Honour of putting it on you" he said opening the box to reveal a golden crystal hairclip which was in the shape of two heart shapes joined together by the sides shining, "can i" he asked, i nodded as i take in the beauty of the hairclip,

He moved so close to me that i could feel his breath on my face, he clipped it on the right side of my hair, he slowly let down both hands on my shoulder and gently turned me to the mirror, the hair clip looks perfect on me, i pouted my red lips with a smile as we look at eachother through the mirror, God, i know am still inlove with Zaid, tell him snapped my inner voice, i can't what of Uzair i don't wanna hurt him, i don't want him to feel rejected , from nowhere Ya Zaid brought out a slim golden neck chain, which is a slim choker, he gently placed it round my neck and clasped it, and then what, i felt him peck the back of my neck, i stiffened a bit, and then he turned away and went out.

I dressed up thinking about our mini drama with a smile on my face, the gown's tail was a bit long and i liked every inch of gift on me, tonight is my night, so i blew kisses to myself through the mirror and set to go out,

Our wing was quiet except for the sound of my heels, i can now hear the music, and on appearing by the stairs case leading to the main hall, there was a loud cheers and claps followed by a loud chorus of happy birthday, full of smiles i gently descended the stairs and on reaching the last step an aisle was formed for me, they were now singing a happy birthday song as Tanisha decided to lead me on the aisle to my surprise cake, by the side was Muayad, it was a white cake of four step and cushion shape, with golden glittering designs on each, then armless gown shaped cup cakes round it in white and glittering colour, "wow" i exclaimed,

Zohra offered me a table knife and at count of three i cut the cake as a loud hurray went off, and now the music came on on it full blast, i didn't get another surprise till Muayad called my name and on turning i saw with him are Mufida, Susan, and Halooma, then Sabir, Habeer and Sayeed, my high-school pals, tears welled up in my eyes, to is like am dreaming, "now dont ruin that face by going all mushy" said Susan, i launched at her, and then i hugged each an everyone of them with tears in my eyes,

"Here, we don't want to smother that face" said Ubayd handing me hanky, i smiled and collected just for him to show me Uzair, Aisha, Ameera, Rashad, Mubeeq, and even the twins, Aisha and Ameera hugged wish me a happy birthday, Rashad and Mubeeq also did that, i didn't even turn to Uzair,

Zuhura also came to the party and man i was glad, infact i was glad to see faces i love, but Zuhura's presence gave me an idea, so with that during the party, i pulled her away, to the garden

"Zuhura am in a hot position right now" i said when we were alone

"Meaning" she inquired

"Uzair and Zaid" i answered with a sigh

"Oh, who" she asked, i knew what she meant, and i decided to answer her wisely

"You see both of them love Tanisha so much, like she is theres, you know Uzair keeps flavors of icecream and milkshake he knows Tanisha likes, Zaid always has Tanisha's best intrest, the both are protective of her"

"What of what you feel" she asked carefully

"I love them both but in a different way, you see for Uzair, i just don't want to hurt him, i don't want to see him hurt because of me, i care alot about how and what he feels, and Zaid, i feel our heart beat as one, i see him more in my future"

"You love Zaid, your heart has decided" she said with a chuckle,

"What of you Zuhura, who do you love" i asked, she was shocked at my question, but she sighed anyway

"I know you love Uzair" i said, she sighed sadly and said "am too late, he loves you"

"Do you hate me for that" i asked

She chuckled and said "no, i will never hate you, you didn't ask for it".

Some minutes later we came in to find a dance going, the two of us joined in the dance with smiles in our faces, tonight's fun was something special, come to think of it, it's being long i had something real like that,

As Muayad now spinned and moved with me to the beat, i can hear them say WE MISS YOU.
