MARWA

Prince Asad

Since we entered the car. Neither Haidar nor Marwa say a word. I shook my head.
I facepalm.
Why would Haidar agree to the shit and have sex with a married woman.
Marwa, is still married. I gritted my teeth.
I let out an exasperated hiss.
Mr. We will soon reach Zazzau. Please be patient. The driver muttered.

He thinks I hiss because of his slow drive.
Asad, are you alright?
You have been hissing Nonstop.
You can share your problem with me. Haidar whispered in my ear.
I smiled.
I'm fine.
Asad you ain't alright.
Please tell me what is bothering you.

I'm worried about you two. I let out.
Your case is less better than Marwa.
You are the one who has sex with her but if everyone finds out in the Palace. Marwa will be the victim.
I'm worried about her.
Everyone will blame her.
I want her to be happy.
Haidar Humm.

I will handle the situation.
We promise not to let anyone know about the incident. Haidar muttered.
What if the one night stand results into something.
If Marwa got pregnant because of the one night stand.
Do you think the secret will remain hidden again.
If she is pregnant I will accept the responsibility.
The child is mine.
Why should I deny that. Haidar muttered.
I hmm.

Don't worry Bro. Haidar tap my shoulder.
Ain't you worried? I asked him.
Haidar didn't say a word and rest his head on the headrest with a sigh.
He turn to Marwa.
Marwa, Haidar called.
Marwa, glance at him.
I'm sorry for what happened. Haidar apologized.

I pinch him.
We are not the only one in the car.
Let her be.
She is stressed. I muttered.
Haidar shook his head.
Guys it's too late to continue our journey we will spend the night in the car and continue the journey in the morning. The driver announced.

I facepalm frustratedly.
Why can't you continue the journey?
Do you want to jeopardize our lives?
If you can't drive I will. I muttered exasperatedly.
Mr. Please be patient. The driver pleaded.
Haidar held my hand.
Let him be.
May Allah protect us.
I shook my head.
Let Marwa sit in our midst.

Haidar nod his head.
Marwa, please come to the middle. It's not safe for you to seat by the window.
Marwa shook her head and exchange her seat position with Haidar.
Tears stream down her cheeks.
Marwa, I called.
She turn to me.
Please stop crying.
She shook her head.

I puff a sigh and rest my head on the headrest until sleep over took me.

I heard Marwa's soft voice.
I flicker my eyes open.
You two have been sleeping since.
I'm sorry, Good morning.
Marwa smiled.
Where is Haidar? I asked.
He is already out.
Have we reach Zazzau? I asked.
Yes. Marwa answered.
She walk out of the car and I did the same.

Haidar walk to us.
Why didn't you wake me up? I quarrel.
I'm sorry. I did but you didn't wake up. Haidar apologized.
Haidar, call your guard let him come and pick us up.
Haidar chuckle.
What if Abbah stop him from coming here?
You are right, but what should we do? I asked.

Let's walk home. Haidar suggested.
I agreed with him.
We took out the turban and cover our faces.
We began to walk to the Palace which is a bit far from the park.

My heart skipped a beat immediately we approached the Palace.
I turn to Haidar.
Let's go in. Haidar muttered.
Two security guards stop us immediately we stepped foot in the Palace.
Who are you?
I took off my turban.
Haidar did the same.
The guards step back.
We are sorry, my Prince. They bow for us.
