ZaidWhen i told Nuaimat and Zohra about the coming event, and broke the news Nuaimat will be coming with us, i was so shocked to hear her decline the offer sadly, even Zohra couldn't hide her shock, Ubayd who happens to be there since it was on a sunday was also shocked because he himself was glad he was invited,
"Am not going, thanks for your offer and generosity" she said calmy, "wait Nuaimat are you owkey" asked Zohra, to my outermost shock she burst into tears and stood up "thank you all for your hospitality and generousity, but before you return i and Tanisha will move on" she said as she cries, her words were fire in my ears, they were squeezing my heart, "are you kidding" asked Zohra who was also shocked,
"No, i don't want to be a burden anymore" she yelled, "burden, who among us has ever complained" asked Zohra standing up,
"That is it, i don't want to be around when you start complaining"
"You are crazy, look if you are tired of us, just say it but just don't judge i and my brother that way, if you really are tired of us, no one will make you stay here but if you want to leave because of your so called reasons then think again we are not that bad" yelled Zohra, with that she hissed and walked out of the sitting room, Nuaimat sighed and followed her out,
"Did you do anything to her" asked Ubayd accusingly, "no i didn't, i swear" i said,
"Then whats wrong with her lately, i mean she has being acting calm and worried this past week" said Ubayd,
"dude, i have no idea am as shocked as you are" i said and sighed,Nuaimat
Damn i messed up, screw my period, why will i act this way, those people have being nothing but good to me, now i messed up, screw you period, my period made me grouchy, and ever blunt, now how will i explain to them, oh no,
I sat on my bed with my hands on my head, just when Zohra came in, i was surprised she even came up to see me after the afternoon drama i caused, but Zohra isn't the one to hold grudge for long, my eye lids were swollen and inside was red,
"You weren't present for dinner" she said calmly, "the cramps again, no appetite" i said after a sigh, "you have to eat, i will bring up dinner" she said and turned to go, "Zohra" i called, she stopped but didn't turn, "please come" i pleaded with tears in my eyes, she turned and came, she sat down near me, i know she was surprised when immediately i placed my head on her laps, "i will never be tired of you, you are the sister i never had, am sorry Zohra" i cried, she placed her hand on my hair and said "it's owkey, you have being off lately and i just realised it's your period, stupid thing can make you edgy at times" she said, i chuckled as she continue to pat my hair, "and if following you to Qatar will make you happy, i will be going" i added, "for me or Ya Zaid" she teased, i let out a sad painful chuckle and said "both of you", she chuckled and said "owkey now, you have to come down for dinner" she said taking my head off and standing up, "i thought you were planning on bringing it up" i asked, "no change of plan" she said and pulled me up, "not fair" i said pouting, as she pulled me out,
On reaching downstairs we headed to the dining room and there apart from Ya Zaid, Ubayd and Tanisha, Uzair was present,
Uzair beamed with smiles as he saw me, i returned a weak smile, "what's wrong with her" he asked full of concern, "period drama" added Zohra, "oh that explains alot" said Ubayd, as Zohra made me sat down, Zaid nodded a bit but was still looking at me, i avodied his gaze and opened my napkin,
"And yes, she is going" added Zohra, "hiphip" exclaimed Ubayd and high fived Tanisha,
"Uncle Uzair too should come" added Tanisha, Zaid who was sipping his juice choked a bit, i quickly looked up shocked,
