Nu'aimat (COMPLETED)

Chapter 27 UP OUT MY FACE.

Zaid

We entered the main building and headed to the main hall without meeting anyone familiar except the maids, on reaching the hall from the back, we hid behind the dark curtains, and we peeped and indeed it was lousy, every one was seated in group as they do one thing or the other and talk, laugh, giggle, i saw Zohra in the mist of  Ya Ameerah, Dunia, Aunt Eshal, Aunt Ikra, they were being applied some dark paste on their arms and legs,

then my eyes landed on HER, she was seated in the mist of Aunt Armani, Aunt Yusrah , grandmother Aidah, grandmother Jana, grandmother Maya, Aunt Rauda, Jameela, Lawisa, in their spacious center were three of the Henna appliers, and on was applying on her palms, i watch them talk to her, then they laughed, grandmother Jana pulled Nuaimat's cheeks fondly as they laugh, just when Aunt Hannan walked up to them with a tray of sweets i guess, and she offered one to her, she inturn opened her mouth and the sweet was inserted in, Aunt Hannan went futher to fondly pull her cheek too and walked futher,

"She fits in there, with them" i said absent mindedly

"Yeah, no one will walk in and think she is not royal" said Harees so near my ear, i gave him the back off look and then said "watch your girlfriend and keep your eyes off her" he giggled, and i returned my look to her, now she is talking and after some seconds the group giggled out loud, and she continued talking make them laugh the more, "i wonder what she is telling them" i asked out loud, "yeah me too, they seem intrested and enjoying what she is telling them " said Harees again close to my ear,

I gave him a glare and turned to look at Nuaimat, she was now waving her henna filled palms jubilantly, and on her face was this pout with a smile, it was the cutest thing ever, to my surprise she gave the nearst grandmother to her a Peck on the forehead and stood up without spoiling her Henna, she suddenly looked towards our side and i quickly took back my head, to my surprise Harees did the same, "you were still watching" i asked with a frown and a glare "no, yes but it wasn't indecent and it was pure" he said, "but you were still watching her" i said,  "who was watching who" i heard her voice and on turning she was right in my front also behind the curtains,

"Um, i was watching someone, um nice Henna by the way" said Harees, she waved her palms at him with a smile and said "thank you"

"But wait aren't you suppose to be outside" she asked,  oh no, i never thought it will occur to her, if it is any of the others, they will have alerted the aunties and they will have fun watching us being humilated, oh yes the punishment is humiliating

"yeah, but we came in to see someone each" said Harees, i swear he said that each on purpose, "oh you sneaked in to see Zohra" she said with a smile and he nodded, she then turned to me and asked "who are you here to see", "umm....."oh Sabira" she said and i could swear i thought i saw a glint of sadness in her eyes, "i will just call Zohra, i will tell someone to alert Sabir" she said with a smile and turned to go just when i sighted Aunt ILham about to pass by engrossed on her I.Pad, the technology Aunt,

I quickly grabbed back Nuaimat, pulled her to me and pulled another part of the curtain to cover us both, and then our eyes met, my left hand was round her waist, the right hand was holding the two curtains in place, while her palms were in each shoulder of mine, as our eyes now bore into each other's

Then i heard shouts of excitement "we caught one" shouted another excited voice,

"It's Ya Harees" shouted another, i opened my mouth to speak but she placed a finger on my lips and we heard as a group came forth and dragged him, i felt a bit for him because the other curtain i pulled was his cover,  but what, here i was standing, hidden behind the curtains so close to My love, yes my love, took me long enough to admit i am in love with Nuaimat, still in that position our eyes locked, i will do anything for that moment to last, "you need to flee" she said and i nodded still looking at her, with that she quickly lift her palms away and quietly said"thank God, i didn't stain you, it has dried off", i just stood watching her, until i felt her hand tugging in my hand that held her waist that i recalled my hand was there, "sorry" i quickly offered and removed it, she then peeped a bit and said, "you can go, their attention is on Harees"
