Nu'aimat (COMPLETED)

Chapter 56

After the welcome feast for Nuaimat, everybody went home except for Khairiya, Asad and their dad, then Zohra, Sabira and Harees all stayed back, all through the feast Nuaimat avoided Zaid deliberately, so when everyone retired, Nuaimat was up in her room and has just finished showering when Zaid came in,

"You were avoiding me" he asked with a poker face, "wasnt it obvious" she replied dryly as she knots up her hair, just when Khairiya came in and suddenly stopped "um am sorry" she quickly muttered,

"No Kay, Zaid was just leaving" Nuaimat added, Zaid was shocked but masked it with a smile and said "yes, sleep good ladies" went out, "can i stay here" asked Khairiya,

"Come on" motioned Nuaimat to join her on the bed, "so tell me everything" said Nuaimat

"Well Father divorced Mother" said Khairiya

"Why" asked Nuaimat not a bit surprised,

"They had a terrible fight and out of anger, he did it" said Khairiya who seems less concern,

"That's not good" said Nuaimat

"Yeah so, Ya Ayad made Father retired and said he is going to hook him up for agricultural business or oil bussiness and in the process he brought dad a storey building here in Abuja and we moved in, i moved to Nigeria Turkish now in Ss3 and Asad is studying in Base private university here in Abuja presently in 2 hundred level" stated Khairiya,

"Is it me or you talk alot" asked Nuaimat, Khairiya laughed and said, "i am your sister, so It's no surprise", Nuaimat rolled her eyes,

"So tell me about it there, how was it" asked Khairiya, Nuaimat quickly said "no way young lady, off the lights and lie down its way past midnight" with that she laid down, Khairiya pouted and switch off the lights,

"I really missed you" she said as she place her head on the pillow, "believe me i missed you too Khairiya" Nuaimat said quietly,

"Ya Zaid missed you, i caught him crying twice in the kitchen when i followed Ya Zohra over to check on him, the first time he was trying to mix nutella and honey, he said even when he mixes it the way he saw you do, it won't just taste the same" said Khairiya Lazily,

"Sleep" said Nuaimat, it was suppose to come out as an order but it came out as a whisper, Khairiya smiled and drifted, Nuaimat pecked her on the forehead and turned to face the other side, she smiled to herself and then closed her eyes, with that she drifted into a dreamless sleep with smile on her face.

The next morning being sunday, Nuaimat woke up around 9:45am after she went back to sleep after her Subhi prayers,

Khairiya was not in bed, so after brushing her teeth in her bathroom, she kissed her daughters huge frame, put on a robe and made her hair into a messy hot bun, with that she went out, she knew she will find them either by the dining table or in the kitchen and at the end she heard their laughter from the kitchen, on entering

"Finally awake" sang Harees, Nuaimat rolled her eyes and first gave her father a good morning hug "good morning Papa" she said

"Morning Aima, how was your night" he asked as he sipped his coffee and parted on the back, "dreamless" she replied, "morning Ya Zaid, Ya Harees, morning Sabira, Zohra" she said as she sat down,

"You look fresh" teased Sabira

"Don't i always" answered Nuaimat brushing her shoulders,

"Is it me or you grew taller" asked Zohra

"Don't start that Zohra" warned Nuaimat as Zohra giggled,

"Ya Aima i baked pancakes" said Khairiya excitedly
