Amaira
Darkness darkness and only darkness , all I could hear was the sound of someone’s footsteps approaching me . The advent of sound was with firing gunshots and hundreds of cries. I clenched the corner of my bloody torned skirt , my eyes were filled with tears and my face was full of scars and blooded marks . I could feel each of my bones breaking down , vision was blurry and all I could feel was terror . The room was getting smaller and smaller with time and then I could see a silhouette of a woman , without any face view my heart understood who she was , the woman whom I resent the most , fear the most and hate the most . The woman was my own mother .
A tear rolled down my cheek and bang !
I woke , with a dizzy head and heavy breaths , I was panting like I saw the worst nightmare of my life , although it was . I held my head when a voice took me to reality . I looked around and found myself in a royal chamber . Well furnished wooden floor , big French windows with emerald coloured curtains , red carpet lying in the middle , ceiling decorated with numerous decorative items all expensive , the room was flaunting royalty .
It was not new to me as I had just shifted here a week ago and this migration led me to meet my dear mom at the law court where I proved my existence . On the same day I encountered both , the person and place that haunts me every night .
Yeah that voice , I forgot about it . I personally don’t have a habit of speaking as it had been years I spoke as I had no one to talk with and thus became incapable of understanding the fast speakers of today’s generation .My journey from the remote great household of warriors to this royal chamber only let me understand two things. Firstly I encountered my mother and secondly I was with a father and daughter of a royal family , I mean the king and his daughter .
The king personally came to rescue me , as he claims to be my dad’s best friend and promised to help me in finding my dad . Only his promise forced me to agree and accompany him and again kick myself in the clutches of death .
But the problem is that they speak too fast , I think they overestimate my understanding power and keep on babbling rubbish . All I could understand was they were looking at me , his daughter looked furious , but he was looking at me like he trusted me . I thought he was going to give me a task , as I was a pro in accomplishing tasks .
“ That’s impossible ! “ His daughter screamed , ohh yes! I was able to understand this . She banged her hand on the table , he tried to calm her down . But then she looked at me and again in her fast forward 2x speed said something and I was blank . My eyes were all open , completely blank .
She came near me and jerked me like I was sleeping . Whatever , then she took a deep breath and calmly tried to explain to me , this time slowly but with hard words . Use easy words ! All I was able to understand was living with boys , in something called a hostel and blah blah .
The thing concerned me was I had to live with someone , wait what ! . It was the first time a reaction came on my face and I enlarged my eyes . It took me approximately ten minutes to think of the words I should use and thinking carefully I said , “ no! I can’t . “ I hoped for its correctness .
" Ohh ! This brat can reply too . " Daughter was stunned . " Please Reem , behave properly . " The poor king spoke while rubbing his forehead , he looked very tense . Afterwards whatever they spoke they discussed something about my safety . And at the very end , his daughter seemed to agree with him . No one took any sort of advice from me .
The very next day they just cut my slightly grown hair and I started taking some kind of supplements , those were some sort of pills which changed my voice .Every time that daughter used to give me a lecture , I too tried my best to understand her but my poor understanding capability was unable to match her fast speaking skills .
All I understood was , I was going somewhere with a new identity , she also gave me a new name , what the hell was that … Hmm yes it was Ansh , it’s first letter matched with my real name , Amaira , my dad gave me this name and it always reminds me of him as no one calls me by this name .
Names like dirty trash , bitch , brat , etc. are used for me . Only the king calls me Amaira sometimes as he told me he was my uncle , he talks very politely unlike others and that’s why I feel very safe around him , he even hugged me for once and that time it felt like I was feeling warmth after ages of my walk on ice sheets .
After two weeks , when I was trained well enough ( according to them ) as they taught me basic manners , sentences , some facial reactions , etc. to live normally like others , it was time for my farewell . In those two weeks I experienced comfort for the very first time .It was like I found a rosy velvet path after running continuously on a hard stone covered path of struggles and tragedies . But this comfortable life didn’t last long and I had to bid bye to both comfort and warmth . At the end, that king’s daughter, I mean Reem, actually became a good friend of mine and also she slowed down her speaking speed .
There in the car as I looked outside at the sprinting green trees , I felt slightly happy as it was beautiful but some part of my heart was surrounded by terror as I seriously had no idea where that car was taking me to and how that place was going to become the most important part of life .
