Nu'aimat (COMPLETED)

Chapter 18 HOV LANE

I don't know what happened to me but i was angry with myself for making that statement, i couldn't even sleep because of the pains i saw in her eyes, now come to think of it why will it bother me because i said some words that hurt her, believe me i don't know,

The next day she avoided me through out, and i swear i wanted to see her face and maybe offer a smile as an apology because i swear am not the kind of guy who apologizes to ladies, but she was nowhere to be found around me, to my surprise i was worried, even when i came down for dinner, i was bored to death with Zohra who rarely said six words to me today and kept on shooting daggers at me.

It's being a month now and to my surprise Nuaimat keeps on avoiding me, i wont lie i feel her absence in my life, and to make matters worst office work is killing me,

Today i came back late in the night, before the appearing of Nuaimat, in times like this Zohra will have called me thousands of times and even threatened to come down to the office, but could you imagine she called me once today and just asked me where i kept the golden credit card which she  needs to round up their school shopping because they will be resuming tomorrow, i told her where it was and then she muttered a bye bye and ended the call, she has being distance from me ever since i talked back at Nuaimat that night, and when she asked me to apologize and i refused.

I drove in around 2 am and was tired and hungry, infact i haven't eaten since yesterday night, and my ulcer is cronic, my stomach was already aching and the whole house is asleep, except for the guards outside, i headed to the kitchen in pains, and tried to see if there is any remnant of food or anything but before i could go futher into the dark kitchen the pains in my stomach became severe and with that i mistakenly bumped into the table and in the process the tumblers rolled down and broke into pieces, just when i let out a painful groan and clutching my stomach, the lights went on and i heard a girly shriek and soon felt warm soft hands on me trying to help me up, it was Nuaimat,

"ya Zaid what happened to you" she asked as she halve dragged me up and gently push me to the Sofa inside the kitchen as i breath hurriedly , she took my panicking face in her hands and said "look at me, it will be fine, just take a deep breath and let it out", i looked into her eyes and took in the breath and let it out, "good now continue on that while i make something quick for you" she said full of concern and while i did as she said i watch as she walks to and fro doing this and that and in 20 minutes she brought to me a plate of chips and shredded beef  with a cup of milkshake, to my surprise she picked some of it with the fork and made to feed me, without hesitation i opened my mouth and allowed her to feed me up,

Gradually she made me do away with everything on that tray, "you better stop staying hungry, especially when you have sometimes like a unpepetic  ulcer" she said almost like an order, i scoffed and said
"like you care", "if you think i don't care, then do it for Zohra, besides am not that stolid" she said, with that she placed the tray on the table and walked out, i groaned because i messed up again, she only showed me kindness and after seeing her for the first time in weeks, look what i did, i was rude.

Zohra

Today i and Nuaimat will be going to school, i was so excited and glad she was now coming out with me, after dressing up in my room i headed to her room not after checking on Tanisha who was wide awake on her Nanny's hands, i collected the three month old Angel and pecked, she chuckled a bit at the sensation "thats my girl" i said and carried her along, on entering the room i saw Nuaimat still in her night wears and was by the window, holding both curtains apart and the morning sun send down it's rays to her face, infact she always does that like every morning, "are you excited" i asked, she sighed and turned to me,  "tell me one reason not to" she said with a smile,

her smile deepened when she noticed Tanisha in my hands, she quickly walked to me and pecked her baby, "hey Angel, slept well, i did too, am so excited to start school with your Aunt" she cooed as she caresses Tanisha cheeks, the baby in my hands giggled and placed her thumb in her mouth, "go and shower" i said, she nodded and set off.
