Tonight was the engagement eve of Zaid and Nuaimat, the Qatari royal palace was in full action that night,

Nuaimat was seated in the mist of aunt Yusrah, Grandma Maya, Zohra, Jameena, Aunt Armani and Aunt Faduwah, they formed a wide circle with her in the middle as the Henna designer designs her palms,

"Aunt Nuaimat, i heard you once had a baby Tanisha, and she was so beautiful" asked Nina Sabira's daughter, Nuaimat smiled and nodded, "yes she was beautiful" she said,

"I wish i met her, but can i be your Tanisha" asked Nina, Nuaimat chuckled and said "sure" and nuzzled the girl's nose,

"Go on now Nina, let your Aunt focus on her henna" said Aunt Armani fondly,

"Yes Grandma Armani" Nina replied and set off,

Then Khairiya came behind Nuaimat,

"It's beautiful" she Said,

"Thanks Kay, having a good time" asked Nuaimat, Khairiya smiled and cuddled up Nuaimat's neck saying "the perfect time", and the two giggle,

"Geez Aunty you'll have to send away another one to" said Jameena motioning to Zaid who was walking straight to them,

It was Aunty Yusrah that stood up and met him halve way

"You are suppose to be with your guys" she scowled
"I want to see her" he said his eyes on Nuaimat who was now blushing due to the teasing she was reciving,

"You are seeing her"

"No, a closer look, i havent spoken a word to her since no morning, you took her away"he complained

"Sorry dude NO"

"Aunty....."

"NO NO NO" ,

Zaid sighed and walked away, but remained in the background and was always watching her, with the music on, he got an idea and went to where some of the plus nineteen Cousin of his were dancing to the music, he joined them to their delight and giggles, they went on dancing, snapping their fingers, waving their hand, swaying their hips, a normal arab dance without touching,

Nuaimat was looking round for Zaid when she sighted in him in the mist of the girls dancing, and he was even laughing,

At that time her Henna has dried off, and now most of the attention wasn't on her, "jealousy" sang Zohra,

"It's natural" said Nuaimat with a smirk

she stood up, and Naseer came up to her,

"Can we dance now" he asked as he sways his body to the beat,

She smiled and with that he took her hand and spinned her a bit, the two were dancing apart, when Zaid saw them he, quickly headed to them,

"No so fast" said Harees blocking him,

Nuaimat was joined by Muayad, Asad and Khairiya, Nuaimat was dancing with Zishan, Zohra and Harees's kid, they were having fun dancing,

Zaid and Nuaimat's eyes met and he gave her a wink, she inturn eyed him and looked away, he chuckled and called Joda, he whispered to her and she inturn chuckled and ran towards Nuaimat, she whispered to Nuaimat and Nuaimat looked up at Zaid who winked again, she gave him a disapproving look and then talked to Joda, the two then shrugged and she took Joda's hand and pulled her to dance,

Zaid groaned.

The next day the two were engaged in the traditional way, after the engagement, the party was on, Nuaimat refused to get up and dance, it was Zohra that noticed her
