Zohra
It has being two weeks now but Nuaimat is yet to gain consciousness, Tanisha was already hail and hearty, she was placed and checked in a secluded wing in the royal palace, the doctors said her head was hit really bad, and the accident caused her to have a bump on her right lung, but she is save and now we will give her time to gain consciousness because the doctors said she seems to be battling with some thing in her head due to the now visible frown and creased forehead, her eyebrows were also quirked,
Ever since she was brought in the news of her being the daughter of the lost princess spread like wild fire, lots of them wanted to come into the wing but i, Aunt Yusrah, ya Usyd and Grandmother Maya made it our duty to not let anyone, i repeat anyone except Tanisha into the wing, even ya Zaid, and Uzair were not allowed, ya Zaid pleaded with me countless times i won't even speak to him, i was so mad and disgusted by his and Uzair acts,
There was a day i was seated by the door and Aunt Yusrah was inside, when Sabira, Tasneem and Waseela came up to me,
"So now this how you want to get her married with Zaid, oh come on Zohra, alot of us have brains, those papers were just your fornications, they are fake" said Sabira with a smirk,
"If i were you, i will start thinking of what will befall the company you think it's yours, because an heir just came into the picture and she isn't alone, she has a brother, so start crying Sabira, cause your priding days are over" said Naseer who appeared behind them, Sabira was shocked and had to quickly leave, Naseer hissed and handed me some baked cookies, even Naseer wasn't allowed in, i gave him an apology smile, he sighed and went away, Naseer i noticed has grew so attached to Nuaimat during this stay of theirs,
Alot of my cousins accepted the news with delight while some think there is some sort of mistake, at least non of them had the nerves to show it except Sabira, i even heard every day a meeting with the male elders of the family was being held to talk about Nuaimat and her brother, and eveeyday it ended up in argument because majority of the party will agree but the minority which happens to be uncle Hamood and his wannabes, including his wife's blood brothers and his father inlaw, will totally disagree, Harees was delighted and will give me all sort of bribe to go in but no i won't just let him, Tanisha couldn't tell us exactly what happened, she only said when they left the house, they came out of the car and started walking, she then begun to struggle with her mother to go back because she hates the heavy rain, and then she succeeded in pulling off from her mother and ran to the middle of the road, but a car was coming to Hit her when suddenly Nuaimat shielded her by gathering her in her hands and then she was hit,
Today, i was seated with Grandmother Maya besides Nuaimat's figure, when we heard the door bell, i sighed because its a daily affair, if i dont open up or ask to see or here an elderly, it will surely be the kids, escorting Tanisha in or asking politely to see Aunt Nuaimat, wow Nuaimat even has captured the hearts of the kids, soms will even ask me if it is true she is the lost Princess and will even go ahead and tell me the gossips they happened to hear,
I walked straight to the sitting room to the door, "who is it" i asked, "me" said Harees i chuckled and went out making sure to close the door,
"How is she" he asked concern,
"Steady, the doctors just left" i said with a sigh, "oh, Ziad is still complaining you wont let him in" i opened my mouth to snap up but he quickly said "but that's not why am here, am here because i miss us, you have being distance lately" he pouted,
"Harees, i have to be by her side, she is my cousin your cousin, but i promise i will make it up to you" i said, he nodded and said ", got to submit some files and news flash Ubayd has gone to pick up Muayad from the airport, they should be on there way back by now " with that we bade eachother goodbye and he left, i went back in,
three hours later Muayad was already seated in another sitting room with i, Zaid, Aunt Yusrah, Ya Sani, uncle khaleed and some other elders to explain to him why his boss Zaid, asked him to come down to Qatar for an officially purpose, and the moment we told him Nuaimat was in the same house he was right now, hell broke loose because he demanded to see her right away, it took ounce of talks to calm him down and told him she was sick, we introduce Tanisha to him, but something surprising is that he wasn't even intrested in the fact that he is of royal blood, an Al Zayman, hello does he knows what being Al Zayman means, i bet he doesn't.
Nuaimat
I awoke with a jolt in my heart and a pound in my head, before i opened my eyes, i mentally adjusted to my state, i felt myself on a soft bed, the air scents nicely, and it's a bit cold, wait how did i end up here,
Then the yesterday's event flowed back to me, i felt the hatred clouding every part of me, the hatred for everyone who knew about Zaid 's plan, i recalled how Tanisha was nearly run down by a car because she was struggling to go back, i shielded her and i felt my head coliding with something huge, and then everything went blank,
Now who saved me, i don't care and am not grateful, but where is , "TANISHA" i screamed and at the same time opening my eyes, to see Grandmother Maya and just coming into the room was Zohra, am not glad to see any of them, yes cause i was so angry, "oh Dear" said Grandmother Maya, as i clutch my forehead, she meant to hold my hand but i quickly moved it out of the way,
"I want Tanisha, i want to see my daughter" i said almost coldly,
"Nuaimat, am so glad you are awake" said Zohra hugging me, i didn't return the hug, nor do i intend to, she disengaged and said "i was worried"
"Where is my daughter" i asked stone cold, "am coming" she said excitedly and headed out, i closed my eye clearly to dismiss the old woman's talks,
The door was opened i opened my eyes to see my daughter and a gentle young man, but i had eyes only for my daughter, so i opened my hands for her and she ran up the bed and i engulfed her in my embrace, "how are you feeling now mummy" she asked, "mummy feels alright" i said and gave her a peck, she gave me a peck to and then my eyes fell on the young man she came in with, i opened my eyes in shock, he was real Solid,
I just can't believe it, Muayad was standing infront of me, "its really me" he said with a smile, i put Tanisha aside and came down, i reached him and was now feeling his face,
"Ayad" i called, as tears welled up in my eyes, he nodded, "Ayad"i said again, "its me, biggie, its me" he took both hands of mine and place it on his face, i nodded and burst into tears as he gathered me in his hands,
The two of us cried in that position, "where am i" i asked disengaging from him,
"Oh in the royal palace still in Qatar"said Aunt Yusrah whose presence i just noticed,
I was suddenly at alarm, "Muayad take me away, i and Tanisha, they want to take her away from, Zaid wants to take her away from me, they are rich, they are the royals, they can do it easily, we are in their country" i cried trying to pull Muayad,
"Nuaimat, calm down" said Zohra,
"Don't tell me to calm down, did you know about your brother's plan, did you" i yelled in tears,
"No, if i did i would have told you i swear" she defended herself clearly hurt from my accusations, "then prove it and help me leave, help, my daughter and i to leave" i pleaded with her taking her hands,
"You have every right to be here, because you are the daughter of the missing Aunt of mine, the missing princess Naeemah Nudrat, which makes you a princess and Muayad a prince" said Zohra, and that was a huge blow, i was shocked and speechless,
"Am not a fool, is this another tactic to make me stay and get manuplated the more" i said looking at Zohra with loath,
Everyone except Muayad and Tanisha chuckled, there Grandmother Maya pulled me to sit down and then she started to tell me all about Zohra's investigations,
After the whole story, i was still shock as ever, "you are family Nuaimat, you are my cousin, a direct cousin, you are my blood" said Zohra with tears in her eyes, she was now holding my hands, i calmly withdraw my hands and laid down on the bed, "i want to be left alone" i said, no one moved "i mean it" i said, then they all stood up to leave, "come Angel, lets get you some milk" said Aunt Yusrah carrying Tanisha
"Aima....... "everyone Muayad, everyone" i said making it clear he was included, i heard him sigh and went out, on hearing the door close, i let down the tears, i muffled my voice with the pillow and then screamed,
Ask me why, i just don't know, who in this world will ever thought i am of this powerfull bloodline, not even that a direct descendant of the fair and white Queen, no one, i fantizes about being famous but by chance due to me being royalty, how did Muayad took this news,
Boy am i glad i get to see my brother after this years, why did i even ask him to leave, am i now this cruel, have i really changed, Ya Allah what happened to the old Nuaimat,
I don't want this life, i want my old life back, again i burst into cries, i was like this for the past three hours when the door was opened and Zohra came in alone with a tray,
"You should eat and take your pills" she said, its like she was afraid i will spark or something, "if your investigator proved i wasn't at all related to you, what will you have done" i asked avoiding her eyes,
She gave an inaudible chuckle and said "we could have run away together far from here, from Zaid, from Uzair"
"Don't kid me, he is your brother" i said,
"He is but like i said fair and honesty first, Nuaimat even before all this was revealed, i have never seen you as anyone other than my sister" she said, and guess what i believed her, i sighed and wiped away my tears and then sat up, sit with me, if there is any company i crave for, it's yours" i said,
She seemed glad to hear that and with that she climbed the bed and prepare to feed me, "so i know not everyone is excited with the prospect that am one of you" i said
"Yeah you are right, like i heard, people like grandpa Yusuf, his children uncle Faaiz, Hamdan and most especially Aunt Fadwah Sabeera's mum don't accept the fact, Uncle Hamood and his wannbes uncle Ahmed, uncle jabeer and uncle Sadis don't support the idea also,
but Uncle Ahmed's wife aunt Rauda and her children Ya Mabad, Ya Kashan and Owais are against their father, Uncle Jabeer's wife Aunt Ikram is Aunt Fadwa's wannabe so she doesn't support you, but their first son Nabeel supports you like hell, ya Nora and Naila have no problem if you are part of this family or not, Uncle Sadis wife and kids are also in support, especially Ya Shaheeda, you know she is one of the no nonsense and always is fair and just, so going against her father is her normal thing, i like her,
Grandpa Kareem supports the issue and so is his son uncle Habib my mom's brother, and i know my mum supports you,
Grandmother Jana and her daughter Aunt Hannan, Aunt Hannan's huband uncle Sadeeq and their children Ya Kareem, Ya Sani, Lateefa and Mahaz all welcomed the idea, and so does Grandmother Hassana and her husband Grandpa Ahmed, their children Aunt Laila, uncle Aliyu and uncle Usman, but Aunt Laila's children Waseela says no, ya Sahala said it's owkey and so did Khaleed, Uncle Aliyu's wife Aunt Ilham supports her twin sister Aunt Ikram so that is a no, and children Ya Yunus, ya Walida, Umaimah, Taheerah and Tamara supports you,
Uncle usman's wife Aunt Rabia and her children Ya Tahir, Ya laurat, Haifa and husna are in support, and everyone else have accepted you"
I gave out a sigh, i just don't care, "i just want to get out of here" Zohra stopped shock,
"This is not my life" i added, "you are crazy, am not letting you go, what will your mother my aunt say, she will be disappointed" she said
"Oh i forgot you can speak to death" i said with scarsm, "it's not like that, if you show weakness, your supporters will be let down, embrace what is yours"
"You speak as if this is some sort of election or politics" i noted
"Oh yes, its said when you come around in two days you are to face the counsel with your brother, and oh every member of this family will be there" she said
"You are kidding, to do what " i laughed
"No am not kidding, you are to talk about yourself, your family, and how you got to know you are one of us, what you will do when you are accepted or not, they will ask you lots of stupid questions and you have to answer"
"Then it's settle, i will save them the stress and leave" i said
"No, you are going to stay and do it, for us, for our parents, i want my dad to be proud of me, that i completed what he died doing, please Nuaimat"
Now what can of turn of event this, i Seriously don't like, i thought finding about my mother and seeing my brother will be SUNSHINE.
