Sidra

I don't like Zaim at all. He's sweet and all but I consider him my brother's friend. I looked at pictures of my mother and father. They were the definition of King and Queen. I wasn't going to replace them with whoever I was going to marry, if I did get married after all. I just need this whole thing to be over. It wasn't my fault and I didn't do anything. I really felt bad for Shreya. For the next few weeks, I sat in my room sulking away. I wrote a few poems and went to walks. I went to town to give Zaki a letter from Zaim. I really didn't think it was the best idea.
He was busy with other men. He looked at me for a few seconds and turned away. I gave it to man next to him and walked away. I turned back to look and he was looking at me. He read the letter. "Call her." he mouthed.
"Madam, Sir Zaki has asked for you." said a man. I walked up to him."We have a family meeting tonight, I expect to see you and Zaim there." he demanded. I nodded and walked away. It was the first time in weeks I heard his voice. I just hoped whatever this family meeting was about, it would fix this baby issue because i did not kill any baby. I passed on the message to Zaim and he seemed nervous about it. I wonder if he knew what was going on. I was in the kitchen cooking and thinking about this whole Shreya thing. I hasn't left my mind. It kept me up at night wondering how she was poisoned.
It was stressful to me. I even ended up thinking maybe I did poison her accidentally. I was just so stressed out. I shouldn't have been but I was. I finished cooking at sat down to have some food. Stress eating. It's actually very stupid. I was eating a lot lately, I never used to do that. New habits I guess. I really just wanted to go to this stupid meeting. It was draining me just thinking about it. I needed some fresh air. I was impatient. I'm so tired that I don't even know what I'm saying anymore. I should probably sleep and I did. Zaim woke up so that wee could go. I wasn't in the mood for anything. So this meeting better be quick. I sat down next to Zaim. I wasn't interested anymore, i just wanted to sleep. "I want to address this problem of Shreya and Sidra. What exactly happened?" asked the king. "Sidra poisoned me." cried Shreya. "You know what, I did. It was my plan to do so actually. I'll agree to all your accusations because I'm done talking.
I've cried and cared enough. Do whatever you want to me." I put forth.
"So you're admitting to poisoning Shreya?" asked Zaki. "I admit to everything." I said. "Why did you do that?" he asked. "I mean, I did it for the fun of it." I answered. "You didn't do it, did you?" he asked. "If I really wanted to poison Shreya, she wouldn't be alive. I dont know what poison was used but I would have used something stronger if I wanted to kill her and her baby." I answered. I mean I shouldn't have said that but I'm tired like really. "Ohk, Sidra didn't poison me." muttered Shreya
