"we did all we can, with my brother inlaws, but the prove was clear" snapped Hamood,
"Sins of your past Hamood" said one of the men sounding amused,
"Really El Amin, sins of the past" asked the other man clearly irritated, the man called El Amin nodded, "you think its funny" asked Hamood
"Hamood, do the maths, when you went for that desert camping, you made sure your cousin sister got lost, why because she stood in the way of the Al Zayman's wealth, which oh you have no connection with, then you even choked your other cousin Maya's husband with sand, why because he won't just give up looking for her, Then with only one person infront of the wealth, you relented a bit and then you strangled your cousin Zakkariya in a room, with that you assume the responsibility of the kids guardianship, in the process being incharge of virtually everything, now the sins here are, your girl Cousin Nudrat's kids came in to the picture, not just one but two, burdening up to the two you have to deal with, and guess what Hamood that new girl, looks tough"
"Yeah thanks for reminding me El Amin, now keep shut" snapped Hamood,
"Hamood as a friend, i advice you, start elimination, or else all what you've worked for will go to them, and you and your wife will come down to nothing and first thing first your son Harees seems to be with them, so cut that tie, the rest is up to you" said the last man,
Nuaimat was so shocked to the marrow to hear all that, she nearly got a panic attack and was now hyperventilating,
"As a friend i advice you, stand down already before you fall flat on your face, because Hamood, when your secret is out, death won't be a suitable punishment for you, hand over what it's not yours, which is everything" said El Amin,
"El Amin, don't make me........... "make you what Hamood, i know your greatest fear is loosing everything in shame, instead of that happening make peace with them and give them what is their's before they ask"
With that Nuaimat decided she has heard enough and went out, she calmed herself before going out to the public, right there she made up her mind on what to do, "hey princess" called a guy coming to her,
"Excuse me" she said with a smile, which quickly disappeared and scanned for Harees and head to him, he was with some giggling girls, "princess Nuaimat, seeing you here is much better than seeing you in public, your beauty is alluring" said one of the girls,
"Umm that's weird, i mean we are both girls" said Nuaimat and she added "please excuse me, you will have him back" with that she pulled Harees away.
Zaid
I saw Nuaimat pulled Harees away , was she siding Zohra's jealousy or what, because she looked serious, i watch as she talks to him and every words she utters Harees face tenses up, she even held his hands, they both look serious, i decided to check them out, "what's wrong" i asked,
"Zaid.......... "it's nothing, just leave us Zaid" she stopped him from talking
"Please Nuaimat, let me help, what is it Harees" i asked,
"No Harees, not now" she said, Harees looked at her coldly and said "then what will you do, it has to come out"
"It will come out, but we are talking about four lives here, trust me i know what to do, just don't tell any one" she said, he looked at her for some seconds, and then nodded and turned to me "it's nothing Zaid" he said
"But..... "its nothing quit it and take it in, it's nothing" she interrupted me with a snap, i was taken aback as she pulled him, away,
How on earth will the two of them tell me nothing, after the meaningless conversation i heard in my presence, i am so curious right now, i had to approach Zohra and Muayad but none seem to know what i was talking about, i was ever curious, and for me to meet Harees again is pointless, i know he won't say anything, but she said four lives, what did she mind, which of the four lives, the more i think about what they said the more curiouse it drives me.
