Married to Prince Khaleefah

Maid?!

HUMAYRA

The boring dinner was over and I'll go back home to check on my family before coming back. Well, I am back home, crying my lungs out.

" Thank you Humayra, I am sorry for putting you to this. " Dad said and I smiled reassuringly.

" Don't be, dad. It's my duty to make my handsome daddy smile. " I said trying to lighten the mood and he chuckled.

Sultan walked over and hugged me. The only brother that's actually here for me.

" I'll miss you Sultana, but I won't cry. Big boys don't cry. "

" Yes my boy, don't cry. " I said and he rubbed his nose on my neck which tickled me.

Something funny actually happened, Zaina forgot almost everyone she knew except for Sultan — her nemesis. Thank God their good now.

Her mental health doesn't seem to get better, it's on a stand still. She still believes Ayman is her boyfriend.
As for Mukhtar, I know he's plotting something but I'll try to end it since we're in laws.

My phone rang and I excused myself to answer it.

" Congrats. " the hoarse voice came through the other line and I rolled the tears out.

" Thank you. "

" So you're married now... On the date that's supposed to be our wedding day, you're married to that Khaleefah. "

" Yes I am. "

" Are you happy? "

" Very well. " I lied and he chuckled.

" I know you Humayra, and you really hurt me. Every day I'll pray you feel the heartbreak you made me feel. " he killed the call and I blew a warm breath.

" Humayra, it's time. " Zayna said and I smiled at her. I have to get redressed for my husband. Still feels foreign to me.

KHALIFAH

I paced around in the room, my three friends around me.

" Calm down, it'll be alright. "

" It won't be Yusuf, Farhan is crying and is refusing to eat anything he'll get sick. I need to see him. "

" You just got married, you can't leave now. She's almost here, what would her family say? " Haneed said which made my stomach churn.

" I don't freaking care, what's to happen will happen and the fact is I hate that girl. " 

" She did absolutely nothing, I mean — you chose her. " Haneed chirped in and I groaned.

" Did you expect me to choose Ayrah? "

" Ayrah is a terrible person."

" Don't call her that, she's the... Forget it. I just hope they don't find out anything. "

" It'll be... "

" Boys, the ladies are here. " Yusuf's mum said.

" Ugh! " I groaned after she left, and smashed my hand into the glass table and it shattered into pieces.

" Calm down Prince. " Yusuf teased and I felt like landing him punches on his face.

" You're not helping, you know right? " I said and he chuckled.

" Yusuf just leave him alone, don't foul his mood more than it already is, before he vents it on the innocent girl. " Haneed said and I rolled my eyes, well he wasn't wrong.

" Let's go, " Yusuf said and Haneed trailed while I counted my steps, even her face makes me angry.

We stopped in front on the room, and I felt my skin cringe, I was married, and worse of all... not to Ayrah, but her sister.

" Haneed, please round it up. " I said knowing Haneed was the responsible one, and Yusuf was just going to flirt with her cousins or sisters. Speaking of, I couldn't find Ayrah anywhere since we met.

While they bantered about what they needed, I stepped out to make a call yo Farhan's nanny.

" Hello? Is he eating now? "

" He still isn't. " the lady said with a nervous tone laced in her voice.

" Give him the phone. "
After few shuffling, he was finally on the line.

" Hello, my prince. " I said mustering the sweetest voice I could at the moment and went in a corner so no one would hear or see anything.

" Daddy... Come take me, I don't want to stay here anymore, I want to meet grandma. " he whined and I put my fingers at the bridge off my nose.

" Listen Farhan, daddy is doing something very urgent, if I'm done I'll come get you, I promise. "

" No! You've been promising me but you haven't fulfilled any of them... "

" Just Shut up! " I yelled a bit, the boy getting on my nerve, then I realised my mistake.

" Farhan I am... " he burst into tears, and when his nanny tried sympathizing with him, I heard the phone crash and the call went off.

Gosh! That boy. Now he was going to make a huge tantrum, I needed to go there ASAP.

I texted Haneed.
' Farhan's making big trouble, buy me time '

I left the mansion and jumped into my car, driving with full speed I parked in front of a simple, beautify house.
" Here we go... "

HUMAYRA

I noticed my groom leave suddenly but it wasn't as if I cared, until the whole room got empty and I was alone. I had already wet my dress with tears, as per tradition.
His friends stayed back a bit but left as well leaving me alone with my thoughts. I barely knew how he sounded, I don't even know the kind of person he was.
Yes, he was quiet but it wasn't enough to deduce him being the introverted type, most grooms were shy on their wedding.

Since no one was around, I brought out my phone and called someone I wanted to talk to so much, but at the same time dreaded hearing his voice.

Ya Ayman.

As expected he didn't answer, and I didn't know when I heaved a sigh of relief, yes, I wanted to talk to him, but I was also scared... What was he going to say? I know I wasn't fair, but I had no choice.

I didn't want to call dad because he was already lost in worry, knowing he put me in this situation so I wanted him not to think about me for a while,
Zayna had been with me all day long, and was the last to leave, after Yusuf — I think that was his name, was flirting with her.
She was obviously exhausted and needed rest, Teemah gave birth  this morning, yeah, twins.
So either everyone in my life was busy, or hated me.
Deep in my thoughts, the door violently opened and there was my groom with an angry look on his face.

" Salamualaykum " I said with a shaky voice and he just glared at me.

" Salamu... "

" Did I tell you I was deaf?! " he yelled through gritted teeth, my heart racing beneath my chest.

" No.. Sorry, I just... "

" You just what?! Listen and listen good, it's a curse on me that that the likes of you are breathing the same air as I am, but don't you dare look at me unless asked , talk to me unless talked to, don't see yourself as a wife, you are just a cheap maid. "

He said and stormed out of the room, leaving me in shock. He was obviously over his shyness.

I am sorry, I have a very valid reason, my phone spoilt and I just fixed it, so I'll try to update very frequently.
