ROYALTY SPEAKS

"Abba?!" Yumnah asked looking shocked. Does it make sense to you even? Her father, at the middle of the night, sneaking into their room, touching Afrah's face? Even if it was Yumnah's face, people would suspect something talk less of Afrah's face

"I.. I... Came to check on you." He stuttered which clearly shows it's a lie

"When did that start Abba?" Yumnah asked unknowingly

"4 days.. No.. 3...2.."

Yumnah couldn't watch her father stuttering and disgracing himself in Front of his children. She cut him off

"Abba, Afrah took you as a Father. She never did something to upset but.." Her voice croaked "Seems like you never took her as a daughter." She sobbed with th anger  filling her lungs. She is trying so hard not to hate her Father

And Afrah did what they both didn't expect, She slapped him hard on his Face taking them all by surprise

Yumnah didn't know when she screamed "Afrah!"

Abba held the place she slapped him with his palms "WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO HUH?!" He yelled. "I loved you since when Saudat brought you to this house. I thought it was just to please my wife and maybe I pity you since you needed help. But I realised that wasn't
any. With time I realised that I just love you and I want to Marry you."

"I can never do that Abba!  I would never ever pull a wool over Mami's eyes. The woman did so much for me." She shook her head continuously as tears drop down her eyes. They watched him as he stormed out angrily

What is wrong with him? Is that how love makes you act like a loon?  If that's the case then she hates love!

Anti Saude wondered what was wrong with the people of her house. Afrah and Yumnah aren't blabbing to her or even to themselves. Her husband went early to work today. On Normal days, he never goes to work early. Not that he intended going late but he always end up running late. Whenever he goes out early, then for sure he has to come back because he has forgotten something. But now he went early and didn't come back. What is happening?

Before she could talk, Yumnah and Afrah were done with breakfast and hastily left for school

~•~

As Afrah walked into the restaurant after school, All she remembered was that lady that was moody yesterday. Who knows why she was moody. Maybe they had a fight with her boyfriend or Maybe they broke up. Afrah had to laugh at the name her parents gave her. She heard the other girl calling the moody one was it,  Sheda- or Sheila...something like that. Afrah laughed at the name. She knows its a female given name but it sounds funny wallah. For the main time Afrah had forgotten about her worries. She did what she usually does submerges anguishes and move on with her life. Problems would never finish. Afrah changed into her work outfits and fell into the kitchen

Mariya came into the kitchen with her order note "Hola!" She greeted with a wide grin

"Hola girl! What order do we have today?"

Maria's face lit up ignoring Afrah's question "If you see one handsome guy! Oh Lord, I'm About to faint. I couldn't concentrate when writing his orders. I was lost looking at him and ended up writing gibberish. Oh Lord!"
She exclaimed fanning herself

Afrah only chortled at her dramatic friend as if she isn't one also. Only that she doesn't go mad over boys, in fact, She doesn't see any beauty or handsomeness in men
A/N- Girl, they kind of exist oo 😂

She snatched the order note from Mariya only to see gibberish instead of words

"What the heck is this?" She asked laughing

Mariya snatched back the note. "Stop laughing at my handiwork. I wasn't concentrating." She playfully glared at Afrah and forced her eyes to read out the orders.

Afrah walked into their manager's office wondering why the manager called her

"I'm here ma'am."

The manager rose her head from the papers she was scribbling away on. A wide grin took over her features making Afrah furrow her eye brows in confusion. Afrah is not the one to keep things in her mind, questions precisely, so she had to talk

"Why are you so happy ma'am?"

"Afrah, one of the Princes tasted our food and felt it was great, so he needs you to start working in the palace as his cook

"Are you serious!" Afrah had asked excitedly. The manager nodded with a smile plastered on her face

She jumped up and down smiling like a loon

Unknown to her that working in the Palace would change her life completely

~•~

Afrah fell into the house as happy as a toddler. She is so excited to share the news to everyone but the house looks lifeless. Where did they go to all of them?

As she closed the door and turned around, two hands locked her and pinned her to the door leaving no room for her to escape

"Abba please!" Her voice barely above a Susurrus.

"You slapped me Huh?!"

she shook her head  from Dexter to sinister "No Abba."

He released a laugh and she knows she has entered one chance. She's a goner. Allah tested him with a test of loving this girl but he couldn't pass. Satan had clouded his vision and filled his ears with melodies blinding and deterring him from the words of Allah. May we Always Pass our tests from the Almighty Allah, Ameen

He leaned his face closer to hers, and closer while she tired pushing away him but all in vain.

The click of the door knob saved her but not completely. She didn't know how table turned and she ended up locking Abba with her two hands, while he leaned against the door

And that moment, Anti Saude walked in

Wayyo Allah na!!

Shikenan! Afrah is in soup

She's know going to start working at the palace..Cool 😀

So, ladies and gentlemen don't expect and update soon oo! Till I see 1k reads

Hmm, only when  pigs start to fly and if pigs fly, Haha then I'll name myself to the first thing I see on a billboard 😂

Never Happening... Insha Allah

Oh right, enough of my useless words

Let's bid adieu and Waka out!!

Sayonara!!
