IBTISAM

THE FIGHT

~
"I don't even know if this is right time to talk about this,Ibtisam"

"Dad,I want to know everything that happened in the past!"

"You should ask bilkees when she's back" he shrugged

"So you knew she wasn't dead?" She asked,surprised

"Of course yes! I've my ways. I'm the king remember" he reminded her and she nodded

"But you didn't bring her back?" Ibtisam asked

"You ask a lot of questions. By the way I heard that you went to dinner with Sir Al-qaseem? What's up with you guys?" He winked at her

"Daddyyyyy!!" She groaned and he laughed freely at her,The king is always free with his children.

"You're shy" he noted and she looked at her fingers

"You like him?" He asked his eyes wide for a while

"Yes,I think so." Ibtisam felt uncomfortable telling her dad this

"Ibtisam you know it can't be possible,look at the circumstances, your sister...." She cut him off

"I don't care about sahar's choice in my life. And when it comes to him I'll be as selfish as I can! I'll not let go of him father! So in case if you think you can persuade me to let go of Al-qaseem,then forget about it. It won't work!" She walked out on him angrily and he was smiling, she isn't any different from her mom.

He could remember when her mom fought for their love,this kept him smiling for the rest of the day

"My princess" Jamaal bowed to sahar

"I hate seeing how happy ibtisam makes my father,it makes me feel worthless" she wiped her tears

"And I hate seeing you shed tears,my princess please stay strong." His eyes soften and flicker with emotions and for the first time in forever sahar saw Jamaal letting his expression out.

Jamaal is in love with her; she noted and gulped hardly,cox she know she feels a whole lot of emotion with him around her

"I need to start my duty for the day. Please write for my mother and don't forget to tell her about everything that has happened so far" He nodded and she smiled walking to her office.

Ibtisam as her father's personal person makes law,as it should be every three years another new law will be added to the constitution. Two or three different laws.

Her father was busy and so he asked her to publish the law he'll look through it during the night. She giddily accept and got to it

She was sitting in her father's office as it should be, carefully typing away on the computer and she wrote the words neatly. Her father was astonished,she must have went to school, but the question is who took her to school? They were both sitting in the office his chair adjacent to hers

And he was staring at her,she's smart he took note of that too

"Where did you learn how to use the computer ibtisam?" He inquired,she nervously shifted on her chairs

"I can't remember, my memories seems to fade." She replied nervously, yet calm

From the way she answered he knew she lied and so he shrugged and continue his work,after five good hours it's time for zuhr he left to the palace mosque while ibtisam went to her chamber to pray and eat lunch. She met with Princess Leila on her way

"Ibtisam, how are you doing?" She asked

"I'm doing just great! How about you?"

"Still the princess I am"
