TALE OF ZAINAB
CHAPTER 10

AMMAR

When Amina introduced Zainab as the new maid it takes everything in me not to speak out my mind to her,
I hate how this is turning into,
I have the longest night of my life,
I couldn't sleep, I keep thinking of how to confront Zainab and ask her what really happened?
I also want Amina to know Zainab cannot work as a maid in this house because I'm in love with her.

"Ammar."Amina call and i look at her from where I'm laying down, she's dressed in this blue floral dress and have her veil around her neck her hair park into a bun.

"Are you not going to work ?
It's past 10am?"she say and i sigh.

"I kmow,
Don't i have the right to stay in my own house?"I ask and she shake her head.

"Ofcrse you do?
I'm just wondering if you want to have your breakfast in bed?
So I can get it for you?
The maid......

"Ofcrse the maid will cook something Amina,
I will be downstairs in a couple of minutes."I say interrupting her and she release a heavy breathe.

"Okay."she say and leave the bedroom,
I come down from the bed and grab the sweatshirt by the bed and put it on.

I'm excited and at thesame time upset,
Excited to see Zainab and upset because i won't get to speak to her the way i want,
I have to find a way to make this work,
I certainly cannot hide anything i want with Zainab,
I don't know how Amina knows her or what the relationship is like but i don't care, I walk down the stairs and amina is sitting on the dinning table sipping whatever that's in the mug.

"Zainab."she call immediately she sees me and Zainab quickly come out of the kitchen, I dont know how Zainab comfortably so things without a care as do we don't know each other.

"Dish him his food,
Should she add.........

"It's fine i will dish it myself."I say and amina give me a confuse look.

I open the warmer and it's Akara,
I look up at Zainab who's still standing by the dinning table,
I grab the bowl from the table and reach out to grab the sugar spilling it on the table, Zainab quickly collect the bowl and pour some of the pap and add some sugar.

"Should i put some milk?"she ask and i shake my head before collecting the bowl from her, she head to the kitchen and start eating my breakfast, it's the most decent and traditional breakfast I had in a very long time,
Amina is all about checking dishes on YouTube that i don't have idea what they are and ordering the maids to prepare it for me,
Zainab comes back with the towel and clean up the sugar, I can see how nervous she looks her hands are even shaking which makes me to look up at her face.

"What do you want for lunch?"Amina ask looking up from her phone screen.

"Anything will be fine."I say biting on the Akara and look up at Zainab.

"Zainab maybe you should cook some native dish for Ammar, he enjoy them."she say and Zainab nod before heading back to the kitchen.

I continue to quietly eat my food,
I need to speak to Zainab so badly,
At thesame time i want to ask amina how she get to know Zainab but I don't want her to be curious because I usually don't ask about the maids.
