#No. 346 on what's hot list on 9th November 2016
Any girl would jump at the chance of getting married to the Crown Prince of the land of gold Dubai. But no not Aairah who calls Dubai home. Funloving, Sweet, Carefree independent and innocent to see...
"Sure go ahead." Uncertain of her questions. She was a strange more like interesting girl. The kind where you want to know more about her.
"You don't seem ok? Is something wrong? You know I'm not one of the palace officials or staffs that u have to be carefull...neither have I said the press about the lift thing." She said the last 2 words with a chuckle.
"It's ok nothing bad just a rough day. Tiring actually." I replied hoping she would not catch me lying.
"Liar..."she laughed "you kept looking at your watch like you didn't want to be there, your bodyguard wasn't glued to you and you are wearing slacks. And you still manage to look well put together than I am." She chuckled. She had a ring to her laughter which was quiet infectious.
I smiled "Ok you caught me there." I raise my hand in surrender. "My father had a minor heart attach few hours ago." I became quiet looking ahead waiting for her to reply. When in reply I get a smack on my arm. I turn towards her surprised.
"How could you come here to see me!" She almost yelled. "Your father nearly died...um hello this is serious. Why?!"
"Because A Falasi never breaks his promise. And I came to see you to let you know how serious I am about us." I said waiting for her to yell or say something.
"You didn't have to Hamdan. I would have understood why you didn't come." She said lightly and she looked at me with so much care and concern, sometimes your own don't even care the least. And suddenly she looked away only for me to realise I was staring at her. Idiot. Stop it. The rest of the walk was quiet and surprisingly not awkward we both kind of enjoyed the silence.
We came to a stop, her car a Cadillac CTS 2010 "Here is me. I had a good time thank you."
"No no it's alright. Its your birthday after all."
She smiled "hey how are you going back? Your driver must be waiting."
"Oh no he just dropped me here and left."
"Oh ok the least I could do to repay you for that wonderful cake is to drop you back. I hope that's ok."
"Thank you, sure."
A few moments later:
"Ok so I'll drop you till the gate not in because It would be late right?"
"Yes that's completely alright." I reply
"Hey how did you know Its my birthday today?" She asked me
"A little girl at the hospital told me."
"Wait you went to the hospital?!" She sounded a little astonished.
"The other day beforeI came to see you, I had been to the one of the wards met some children and saw this really adorable 4 year old girl. Poor child has blood cancer last stage I heard maybe a month to live. Such a tiny beautiful soul" Aairah was quiet her expression pained.
"Mia, the little girls name is Mia. When I joined I found out that she was born out of wedlock and was roaming the streets and was hungry and thirsty...the hospital was providing for her then." She paused took a deep breath and continued "that poor child asks me everyday when will her mom come and pick her up..." I could see her tearing up and she quietly continued while looking straight ahead and driving. " We took her in and papa is doing the legal work to adopt her, at least she will have a family in the last month of her life." I held her hand and she let me hold it. Tears flow down her cheeks and she didn't bother to wipe them off. "How could someone do that to a child?! Her own mother! So what she was born out of wedlock!!! So what. You know I pray everyday that at least once her moher picks up my call so I could just ask her once to come and see Mia. It's her last wish you know. And every time when it is unanswered I just think that maybe she is going through some problem maybe she didn't want to leave she was helpless. And finally one lucky day she does pick up and guess what she says.?" She looks at me and I could feel my heart wrenching. "I don't know who Mia is. So I decided this Jan 11th I'm leaving to join Al qasimi hospital. I'll be leaving Jalilah, I can't take kids dying on me anymore. Im not that strong. " I wanted to hug her and tell her you are strong and one of nicest kindest girl he has seen. But of course that would be inappropriate.
She was quiet...so quiet. I moved my hand away from hers.
"Maybe this was meant to happen. Maybe she was meant to have a happy family on her last days. So she would die with a smile. Maybe it happened so that she was surrounded by such amazing people. Don't worry Aairah,you and your family are doing the sefless act. God always does for the best."
I respected this woman but now my admiration for her was on another level. It just hurts me that I'm lying this beautiful person. Oh Allah please don't punish me. Help me.
"That's what I say to myself everyday." She wipes her tears off. "Let's talk something else...this is so embarrassing I'm bawling my eyes off In Front of a prince." She chuckled .
"Aw shucks I should've taken a photo."
"Hey nooo way. Thank God you realised it later."
"I wanted to tell you something, it's something I haven't shared to anyone."
"Yeah sure go ahead."
"You know when my father appointed me as the crown prince. I wasn't ready. Although I get trained I still am not. I'm terrified that I will let everyone down My father my people down. I hardly sleep these days. I absolutely have no idea what am I going to do."
" Look I can't say I understand. But i do know the pressure is on you and that itself must be terrifying. But your highness when life gives you lemons..."
"Make lemonade I know."
"Noooo... Squeeze it on vodka and drink it up. Simple." She chuckled and we both have a good laugh.
"We are almost close. Hey can you answer this to me truthfully?"
I nodded her to go ahead.
"Are you being forced into marrying me?"
