Now I know how Nidal had felt when Billal kissed me. If it were anywhere near the pain that I was feeling at this moment, then the punch he threw Billal was somehow justifiable. I leaned against the wall and prayed that this was a misunderstanding, hoping she was the one who kissed him just now on the lips. But I was witness to it. I saw him kiss her back.

I heard laughter, and I braced myself as I took another peek outside the window. The princess kissed him again, but it was on his cheek this time, as she laughingly said her good-bye and walked gracefully away. Nidal stood there looking at her until she disappeared from his view. The look on his face as he watched the princess leave was warm and pleasant.

I cannot believe it. I don’t understand it. He had better do some good explaining when he comes to me, or else I will never forgive him. Never!

So I waited, thinking Nidal would come to me at any moment and make the pain go away. But he never did. Instead, he headed straight for the stables and rode away on his black stallion, taking the same road that Princess Shaeena’s carriage had taken.

He is going to her, I thought miserably, holding back a stifled cry as my mind raced to remember again the conversation I had with the princess earlier in the day.

She won, and I lost. I suddenly realized it. Exhausted now, I undressed, lay on my bed under the covers, and closed my eyes. I knew it was impossible for me to sleep right now, but maybe a nap was necessary. Maybe when I wake up I will realize that it is all just a bad dream.
