MARWA

Marwa, will you marry me and be my wife until death sets us apart?
I blink my eyes skeptically.
Marwa, please say yes. Prince Haidar pleaded.
I'm confused. I let out.
I will think about it.
Marwa, You don't have to think about it.
Just say yes and we will get married instantly.

Prince Haidar, you can't persuade me to say yes.
I need time to comprehend everything.
Let's take things at a slow pace.
Besides Mall Musa hasn't divorce me.
We have committed a sin before I don't want us to commit another sin again.

Prince Haidar, please leave i don't want anyone to come in and see you here.
If your mother comes here and sees us together she will be pissed off.
Prince Haidar shook his head.
His stomach started grumbling making a clamorous sound.
Why is your stomach making such a sound? I asked.
I'm hungry. Prince Haidar let out.

I wanted to ask him why he didn't eat what Batool prepared for him but kept quiet.
You should prepare something for yourself. I mumble.
Can't you do that for me?
Please Marwa. Prince Haidar pleaded.
Don't be afraid, Batool can't do anything to you. Prince Haidar assured.

I will meet you later. I mumble.
Prince Haidar stood up and walk out of my room.
I puff a sigh.
Ya Rabb, I'm trapped in love.
I stood up and opened the shopping bags Prince Asad bought for me.
I took out the silk materials.
They are all beautiful.
I put on the peach silk gown and tied the scarf neatly on my head.

I walk out of my room and take a long stride to Prince Asad's apartment.
I ignore the prying eyes on me.
I reach the apartment and knock on the door.
The door was thrown ajar.
Good day Ma'am. I greeted the light skin girl whose face came into view immediately the door was thrown ajar.
I don't need a soothsayer to tell me she is Prince Asad's little sister though she and Prince Namir look more alike than Prince Asad.
Prince Haidar and Asad look so much alike.
When I came to the Palace newly and saw them I thought they are twins.

Good Day. She replied.
Are you Marwa? She asked.
Yes, I am. I muttered.
Her face broke into a smile.
Here she comes bro. she hollered and let me in.
I sat down on the couch.
I am Kayla.
Your crush's sister. She whispered with a smirk at the corner of her lip.

I smiled.
Kayla enter Prince Asad's bedroom.
She and Prince Asad walk out of the bedroom.
I will leave. Kayla muttered and walk out of the apartment.
I glance at Prince Asad who has a monotonous look on his face.
My eyes dart to my fingertips on his cheek.
I feel remorseful for what I did.
Prince Asad didn't say a word.

I clear my voice.
Prince Asad, I called.
He pivots his gaze to me with a raised brow.
I'm sorry.
Prince Asad Humm.
I didn't intend to slap you.
Please punish me for slapping you.
Okay. Prince Asad muttered.
I will punish you because no woman has ever raised his hand on me except my mother.
Even summaiya my ex-girlfriend has never dare to do that. Prince Asad muttered with gritted teeth.

Will you accept the punishment?
Yes, I will. I muttered.
I want you to stay away from Haidar.
I chuckle.
Prince Asad is this the punishment?
Do you want more? He asked.
Why are you doing this? I asked.
Because I love you, Marwa and you ain't noticing it.
I'm not good at expressing my feelings to women but I have a fragile heart.
I easily fall in love.
I am pained that you give me little attention and give Haidar more attention and care.

Is it because of what happened that night that made you so attached to him?
Marwa, I will do anything you want me to do just to win your heart.
Please Marwa be my wife, my Queen and my Noor.
Please make me the happiest man in the universe and I promise to make you the most special woman and makes you happy.
