Today was the third day of the celebration, the sword dance/the feast,
Today Nuaimat was still in bed while Zohra was already downstairs for breakfast, Lawisa was the one in the room reading a novel, while Nuaimat was asleep,
Suddenly the door burst open and Furious and sobbing looking Sabira burst in, followed by her two handbags Tasneem and Waseela, then five more cousins of theirs, Maha, Jameena, Nana, Nora and Rufaida probably to see what is going on,
"You coniving bitch, how dare you turn him against me" she yelled, Nuaimat didn't stir,
Lawisa who was mouth agape closed her book and asked "now that is rude, but what is this all about"
"That girl, snatched Zaid from Sabira, he broke up with her" said Tasneem with,
Lawisa looked at her with Loath and said "well that girl, the girl you mean, has a name, her name is Nuaimat and News Flash, she is still sleeping"
"Wake up you goldigger" yelled Sabira pulling up the blankets from Nuaimat, Nuaimat stirred a bit, sighed and opened her eyes, she took in the crowd in the room, she lazily sat up, stood up and headed to the window, she did her normal thing and then turned to them, not minding the bum shorts and vest on her, she made her into a messy bun, folded her hands and then stifled a yawn and said, "Lawisa, what time is it"
"9:45am" answered Lawisa
"I came to see you" said Sabira angrily,
"Oh for what" asked Nuaimat yawning
"You snatched away Zaid from me, you made him broke up with me, why "
"But sorry pumpkin, Zaid is suppose to be the one to answer that, why he broke up with you, and why he allowed himself to be snatched that is if i really am the one who snatched him" replied Nuaimat lazily and she yawned again
"You think, this is funny, you rode with him yesterday, he is my boyfriend, we had love and with your arrival he broke up with me" she yelled,
"Umm, just because i rode with him that doesn't mean we have anything" said Nuaimat pointedly
"You are a harlot, how dare you" yelled Sabira,
Nuaimat smiled and looked at Sabira with a cool expression,
"you think, you are worthy of a Qatari prince, take note, Qatari prince marries Qatari princess, that is the traditional, just because you are accepted by some here that doesnt mean you can come in and spoil what is to be, i am meant for Zaid and he is meant for me, no one can take him away from me" she yelled,
"Then i pity you Sabira, Zaid doesn't love you, he never did" said Zohra by the door, all eyes turned to her, she came in saying
"he never loved you, you were just being naive and clingy, bringing me to your nick name amongst us, CLINGY SABIRA" said Zohra, alot of them giggled except for Tasneem and Waseela then Rufaida who said "Zohra are you choosing an outsider to your cousin, family first"
"No Rufaida, to me fair and honesty first" said Zohra,
"Since you have taken over, ama go shower and have breakfast, and to you Rufaida the wannabe hand bag of Sabira, don't accuse Zohra of supporting an outsider and not family, she is right, fair and just before anything" said Nuaimat she yawned again and then headed into the bathroom,
On closing the door behind her she headed straight to the sink with a mirror, she looked down at first and then looked up to see her self in the mirror, tears now began to stream down her cheeks.
Zaid
It was soon time for the sword dance, and i was yet to see Nuaimat come down, she didn't even appear for breakfast, i have being checking the stairs to there wing for every passing seconds but there was no sign of her,
