Today was the 19th day of fasting in the Islamic holy month, and the same day Nuaimat clocked 21, but there was no celebration since no food for the day till in the evening, Muayad has moved in with them, so Nuaimat couldn't help but notice Zohra and Muayad behaving fishy,

"If you are planning a surprise party for me, just tell me, cause something is up, the two of you are restless" she said as she was seated in Zaid's sitting room with Muayad and Zohra, Zaid was in the sitting room and was playing chess with Tanisha of 4 years who was now in Nusery one Lavender, it was now pass Asr prayer, it was 4:30,

"Shut up" scowled Zohra

"Sorry, just telling your party won't be a surprise" she said with a shrug,

"Won't you make the pie today, i want apple" said Zaid,

"Its my birthday, i won't enter the kitchen to cook" said Nuaimat now on snap chat,

"when will we be going to Qatar again" asked Tanisha

"For the hundred thousand time on the 25th day of fasting, if you ask again i will stuff you" said Muayad throwing a cushion at Tanisha who dodged laughing,

"Am just excited to meet Thoufeeq, he said he has a lot to tell me" said Tanisha dreamily,

"Thoufeeq" asked Nuaimat sitting up, infact everyone turned to her,

"Ya shaheeda's son, he is just eight i think" said Zohra

"Tanisha,........ "what the girl has a crush on him" teased Muayad,

"No" snapped Nuaimat

"Mummy he said he will marry me if we grow up" said Tanisha innocently,

Nuaimat was mouth agape, while Zohra, Muayad and Zaid chuckled,

"You are not going to Doha, you will do well with Aunty Chandini" said Nuaimat as she stood up,

"Mummy" exclaimed Tanisha,

"Where are you going" asked Muayad

"Kitchen" she called back,

Zaid

I quickly stood up and followed Nuaimat to the kitchen, i stood by the door watching her battle with an apple she was trying to skin, she soon gave up and slam but apple and knife on the sink, she gave out a groan,

"Why are you tensed" i asked,

She sighed and turned leaning on the sink, she waved me away shaking her head,

"Is it Tanisha and Thoufeeq" i asked walking in, "she is too young to be talking about things like this" she snapped

"You are right, but she is a kid, and besides Thoufeeq is family" i said taking my steps carefully

"Family do cheat on trust, i mean Abbah was like my family" she said tears welling up in her eyes, now i know why she feels insecure about this,

"Hey calm down" i said reaching for, i hugged her a bit to comfort her,

"It still hurt you know, i just cant get over it" she cried on his chest quietly,

"If you have agree to date me again, you would have forgotten" i joked,

She hit me on my chest and chuckled a bit "that is a dry joke" she then came off me, wiping away her tears, "i hate it when you see me like this, weak" she added,

"I like it, it gives me a sense of being powerful over you, but when you are all that blunt and in command, i confess it makes me weak" i said and thats the truth, i want believe am confessing to a lady, LOVE LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO,
