Serayah

It has been a routine lately-I wake up and greet my mother then I'll isolate myself in my father's office doing anything but think about a man laying and fighting for his life.Then I walk out of the office for dinner and then come back to bed and if I'm lucky catch some sleep.

I was in my office when I received a text from my sister asking me to come over to her place and with a sigh I closed my planning book.Taking my coat and my bag from my room.I made my way to the kitchen to bid my goodbye to mum as well as take my car keys.

"Hey mum-serane called me over to her house.Probably to babysit."I informed her before giving her a hug and taking my keys and I left.

I knocked on the door of serane three storey house.She opened it with Ralfie in her hip."Thank god you're here!Mike and I have a flight to catch and I know this is really short notice but that ass just surprised me with an anniversary trip to barbados.And their babysitter is on her honeymoon so yes we cant really reach her so I had no other choice but you."She rambled on and on about how she have so much more packing to do and how Ralfie and Rixton (her set of twins)have been impossible with them throwing tantrum due to the fact that they are teething.Imania how ever have been nothing but an angel with helping her mother by 'taking care' of her brothers.

"Oh crap its their feeding time"She cursed and almost immediately she heated the two bottles in which had her breast milk."I need you to try and make them go to sleep.She gave me the two bottles and ralfie before I did as told and put ralfie on the sofa before taking rixton doing the same.Soon after singing a lullaby song ralfie and rixton were sound asleep.

I walked into my sisters room just to find her paking her toiletries."Hey,the twins are sound asleep do you need me to do anything else?"I ask her as she look at me-I could see the bags under her eyes.Well she sure is strong for someone who have a four year and a set of two energetic nine months twins.

"I was wondering if the kids should stay with mum so maybe you could pack some of their clothes?Imania's trolley bag is in her cupboard while the set of twins could use one of their travel bags I think it should fit."I nodded and comply to her wishes.

It was after six in the evening that night that serane finally left and withe kids safely tucked to their car chairs-I made my way back home.

"Mother guess who's staying here for a few days!"As my mother walked out imania immediately ran to give her a hug as I parked the stroller in which the twins were safely tucked in at the corner.

"Serayah"Rafa's voice caught my attention as I stand and look at her shocked."What um what are you doing here raf?"And I looked at my mother "You didn't tell me we had guests."I said as I looked at my mum.

"Do you have a minute?"She asks and glances at the three children."Of course.".

"Sorry its a bit um messy-as you can tell I have been busy."I put away the papers and plans in the corner."Neymars condition is getting worst for the past few days you have not visited somehow his condition just flopped.He had a heart attack late last night.Luckily we had the best doctors for him on stand by."My breath hitched and my hands started to shake.

"The doctors informed me this morning of his condition and they highlighted that we should prepare for the worst."I closed my eyes in hopes that this is all a dream."I never have believed in the power of love but I know that that your absence could be his weakness.You always have been his strength."Just as the words left her lips did I turn around and faced her.

"Wildof warned me off." I admitted."I didn't want to stay away from neymar in fact all I wanted to do was to be by his side.I had to fight my strong urges just to respect kenna's wishes.I-" "Serayah what-what do you mean-What did he tell you?What did he say?"Rafa was never one to get angry or worked up in fact I have never really seen her angry but right nowI could see it the fury in her eyes the way her hands are now fist up and knuckles white-she is scary when she is angry.

"Serayah what did he tell you?"She urged me to answer her question."That day after I saw kenna sitting next to neymar I went to take a breather at the hospitals park.It was then that wildof met me-He told me how all internal and national matters of trau should be handed to kenna as she is to be the queen.He then proceeded and told me how kenna didn't want me to interfere with neymar's health progress,meaning I should stop visiting neymar.He explained that I should take a step back for now because the royal council are afraid that my presence could cause a rocky relationship between the north and the south.He explained that if I were to stay next to neymar-the public would not like it as neymar and kenna will be the next rulers and that neymar and I are the past in which the royal council and the royal family as well as the public would like to move on from."I explained.

"The nerve of that old bald man!"She raised he voice which again took me off guard.She paced around the room.Before she sat down on the couch."It took some time for me to figure out If he really did move on from you-I can tell you something though that boy can act!."And then she cracked a smile."If he hears you calling him a boy,he would literally no lie torture you with tickles until you admit that he is the the 'most powerful and strongest' man that graced this earth."I reminded her and we both let out a laugh cause the both of us know its true.

"Yes he will."She smiles."But then it was that one night that I saw him at our father's grave.Confessing of how much he loves you.How much he hates that he keeps putting trau as his priority as he couldn't help it.He described you as if you were his oxygen like how he could die if you are not with him.And then came my birthday night when you were take hostage-I have never seen neymar so afraid at that moment.He was very scared.Although he did not show it,But his eyes had fear written in it.He was ready to save you that night-He is ready to give up his life saving yours.And that is when I realized that although he had his fair share of woman.You will only be the woman who can make him,himself.Who can show him the meaning of love,to show him the importance of kindness,to have him feel fear,to have him sacrifice.You are truly the only one who he loves unconditionally and wholeheartedly."

Some tears have managed to escape my eyes as rafa wiped hers."I have watched your relationship.And I hate to admit it,But the love you both share for each other is one that I wish I have and I do.Yes the both of you have done terrible things to each other.And I admit most of those came from neymar stupidity.But what is a love story when there is no mistakes?."She asks and I smiled at her.

"I remember it was the morning after his announcement of his engagement when I wanted to be the one to take care of him when he had taken the day in due to his sickness.His eyes was red and hair messy.The Newspaper of you and a man kissing inside a club was spread out and I realized that he took the day in because at that moment he felt weakness and in pain-you showed him heartbreak like any other normal would feel.But it was the night that kenna had announced her pregnancy during the dinner did I saw worry in his face.But when kenna explained how she booked them some tiem to film their announcement for their engagement on the same night did I see panic.He was so against it.He kept telling her he had meetings.That he had to go to navite.He gave her all these reasons but it went to deaf ears.But I remember the live broadcast very well.When they announced their engagement he looked worried-his eyes had sadness written on them but he managed to cover it well.But he was when kenna announced another heir was to be conceived did I remember the panic and the anger.When the live broadcast was done-he lashed out on kenna.Eversince then did I realize that he sign himself up for a loveless marriage with kenna." She continues as her focus drifted to the view outside my window.

"I know he have made mistakes in which I know you cannot bring yourself to forgive him such as the mistresses he took in during your marriage and I'm sorry that I couldn't give you the explanation why he did what he did."She continues and I nodded as I take a seat next to her."But maybe he have a valid reason for his choices."She continued.

The room fell into silence and we could hear the strong sounds of waves crashing against shore from the small cracked open window.

Her phone rang and within minutes she fished for it from her bag and seconds later the phone is against her ear but she couldn't mutter any words due to the frantic voice from the other side.

"Okay,I'll be there!"And with that she cut the line up."What is it?"I ask after I scanned the worry on her face.

"Its kenna.She had a miscarriage."
