Nuaimat was enjoying herself with Ubayd, Zohra and Zaid around her, she was standing with Ubayd and another guest when Uzair came up to her, "can i talk to you outside" he said calmly, she nodded and took his outstretched hand, with that he led her out to the entrance, and as they walk,
"You look beautiful" he said, she smiled and said "you look different today Doc, more like a festive mood not always the hospital mood" she said, the two giggled, and walked a bit and then he stopped,
He took both hands of her facing her he said "Nuaimat, finally i want to tell you what has being going on in my mind, for so long now, i have being inlove with you"
Nuaimat had it coming but still it hit her like a blow to the heart, she calmly withdrew her hands from his and sighed,
"Why" he asked,
"Huh"
"Why won't you say something, it's obvious you knew i was in love with you, it took me this long to muster up the courage to say it"
"Stop.....saying that" she said
"Why, why won't you accept me" he asked looking at her,
"I...i.... "you what, you are inlove with Zaid" he said the name with loath,
"Uzair let me ex.......... "explain what Nuaimat, i see the way you look at him, but i just can't stop myself from loving you, i don't want you to get hurt" he halve yelled in anger,
"Hurt, Zaid loves me" she said adamantly
Uzair gave a painful chuckle and said "news flash he is lieing ,Nuaimat he is using you"
"U...sing me, you know what i won't stand here and let you speak ill of him because of jealousy, when you are ready to talk like a mature person we talk" she said and turned to go,
"he is my friend, i know when he is using you, he plans on taking away Tanisha from you, he and his sister will disappear with her, he has no plan of marriage, but plan on having a heir of any gender, and so when you appear, he saw his chance and took it, you think he loves you truthfully, because he spends lavishly on you and your daughter, no its like he is paying you off for your daughter, Zohra may not know about this but he is her brother, he will make her abandon you, Zaid doesn't loves you, he only wants what is yours and leave you for Good"
Nuaimat
Uzair's words were like molten gama dripping continousely on my heart, on the track i stopped i turned at Uzair and then all what Zaid has being doing to me and Tanisha flowed back into my mind, why will Uzair lie about this when its all clear, just then cars begun to stream in, the kids were back, and i sighted Tanisha already my eyes were red and my breathing was becoming hard, she ran to me and gave me a hug, instead of hugging her i turned away and headed back inside.
Zaid
Midway into the party, my eyes were scanning for Nuaimat but she wasn't there, i saw Zohra, Harees and all people she could possibly be with, but she wasn't with them, i even asked some of them but they had no idea where whe was, and then i noticed Uzair was also missing, could it be they are together, i asked myself, i wasn't paying attention to three guests i was standing with, they were investors in our company,
Just then i sighted her coming in, wait a minute she looked angry, her eyes were now red, scanned around and her eyes landed on me, with fury she headed to me, "were you planning on taking away Tanisha from me" she asked angrily and loud, now attention was turning to us, "what" i inquired, i mean i have no idea what she meant,
"Was that why you took me in, to take away Tanisha from me and then you and Zohra will disappear" she yelled now in tears,
Oh my God, it just took two seconds for what she said to click, my first plan, the very plan that i do away with immediately i set eyes on her on that hospital bed, i looked around a bit and saw all eyes on us, and it was quiet
