*CHAPTER NO TWELVE*

HALIMA'S POV:
       my eyes went on father , and then to Haider and Zulaykha , haider stood up , hiding Zulaykha behind him , still with the same terrifying reaction , i would never stop wondering that why is he so angry? What caused him to be? , father stepped forward

Faisal: what's going on here?

Haider: she got panics attacks nothing more , your majestic

He said in a raspy voice , Zulaykha trembling more in father's appearance , i need to know what's going with her , maybe i could do something?
   father walked towards Zulaykha , causing her to hide more behind haider , only her eyes in view to see the surface , her eyes showing ture scared feeling , haider hold got tighten on Zulaykha , causing him to turn to father fully hiding Zulaykha from the view , like he is safeguarding her , protecting her or something , curiosity runs inside me , there must be something going on , there is
    

Faisal: why are you hiding her from me? Do i look like a beast? Or something?

Father's word didn't even ended as Zulaykha voice echoed in the room

Zulaykha: YOU ARE!!!

She said making haider eyes goes towards her then scanning father , who was also shocked by her sudden outburst.  same reaction from me, why would she say that? Why she is so afraid of father? questions runs in my head as i tried to solve the puzzle with its pieces , haider took Zulaykha's wrist and got her outta the castle , father's gaze moved to my curious and worried one

Faisal: who is she?

Halima: Friend

I kept my Response short , in order to get out of there , i went on the royal garden , in a hope to see Zulaykha , but didn't instead , i found aziza there , a idea pops in my mind as i went and sat beside her on the greeny grass , aziza looked at me , the again moved her gaze towards the same spot she was looking at first , following her eyes , i saw haider and Zulaykha a few miles away from me

Aziza: stefan shouldn't have done that.....

She mumbled under her breath , but enough for me to hear

Halima: i.....

I couldn't even start up as aziza voice cuts me off

Aziza: don't even think about it

Halima: why?

Aziza Finally looked at me , a bit of anger in her eyes with a mix of fear and worry

Aziza: this thing better stay away from the royal family as far as possible

I frowned at her , as i opened my mouth to say something but aziza stood up and starts to walk away from me , again living me dumbfounded and full of questions , lost in it , my thought got cutt off as aziza spoke from behind

Aziza: ask Zulaykha , she will tell if she trust you.....
