Pharaoh's Queen {HIATUS}

28: " Take It To Heart "

"If you are going to keep squeezing me like this I am going to die young!"

"Sorry."

"Heavens knew why we slept apart."

"Now they know why we are together,"Khai gave her small kiss on her lips.

"That will not fix everything."

"Did it fix this?"

"Ye-NO!"Kiya mislead him.

"What was that?"

"Oh Nothing,"She smiled sinisterly.

"Same as always,"Khai shook his head.

"Mhmm."

"Who knows what they could be doing mother? I really do not want to think about it either."

"Now Zahra,you should not be stressing about such matters. Think positively!"

"There is nothing positive in this matter mother, nothing!"Zahra said upset.

"Now dear, please do not raise your voice when I am just trying to help,"Therois said sternly.
"I apologize mother. This is just so much, I still do not know how to handle this problem as yet,"she sighed.
"Do not worry my child,"Therois brushed down Zahra's hair. "I know you will make it right;how it should be."

"Yes mother."

"I leave you now,"Therois left Zahra room.

After making sure Therois was nowhere to be seen she got off her bed and went to one of the two large clay vases she had at the back of the room one at each corner. After double checking her surroundings, she dipped her hand down in the vase and took out a small bottle.

"Finally," Zahra let out a sigh of relief before turning the bottle to her head.

She exhaled deeply as she hide the bottle before falling lazily on her bed. Zahra crossed her hand over her face. She knew she would soon need to burn incense to get rid of the strong smell that was now floating heavily around the room. She wanted to stop but with all this stress it was the only thing that kept her sane because wine was not working for her anymore. She knew if Therois saw her or knew about it she would be angry because she promised her she would stop.

"It is all her fault!"Zahra mumbled. "So many miles away and you can still manage to destroy my life even more! Witch! Witch! Witch!" She continuously slammed her hand on her bed.

"My lady, what is happening? "Her hand maiden asked concerned.

"Nothing," She replied blandly. "I do not want to be bothered Raakel but I appreciate the concern."

" Are you sure my lady? You sound trouble and upset."

"Raakel I am fine."

"Are you doing it again?"Raakel asked softly.

"I thought I told you to go. Whatever I am doing does not concern you!"Zahra snapped. She got up and stormed out of the room. "Do you want to inspect, there, by all means search!"

She was behaving harsh to everyone maybe because she herself felt like she was being treated harshly and she blames it all on one person.

Zahra sat as she chewed angrily on a piece to overthrow the heavy smell of beer on her breath. She racked her brain trying to think how she could try get back what was hers. Her face soon lit up and a small smile formed on her lips.
