Nu'aimat (COMPLETED)

Chapter 53 EASE UP

For seven days after Tanisha's death, she was mourned all through those days as Islam demands, the death of a young Qatari princess daughter of the famous found princess Nuaimat spread round the world like wild fire, dignitaries, royalties and other  called and alot paid a condolence visit to Nuaimat and co in nigeria, almost all the whole royal family came to Nigeria for the seven days mourning,

During these days, Nuaimat was still the same, quiet, tearless, eyes red and emotionless, she only nods when talked To and tried to offer a polite smile to any polite comment, everyone tried to bring her around but they all failed, she just wouldn't bulge.

On the eight day, Zohra was looking round for Nuaimat to take her down for breakfast, on searching she noticed the door to Tanisha's room open, on peeping she saw Nuaimat by the old cradle at the far end of the room, it was never moved out even when Tanisha out grew it,

Nuaimat was holding a pink fury small shawl, her eyes fixed on it, she was gently caressing it,

Zohra

Nuaimat's changed self wasn't something we  didn't see coming, but it makes us sad to also see her like that, i kept mute watching her, what troubles me must is the fact that Nuaimat's tears lasted the very day our daughter died at the hospital, she is yet to shed tears, and in her eyes is this emptiness, this cold feeling and is always red.

"Aima" i called, i was sure she heard me but she didn't turn, "come down for breakfast" i said, "am not hungry" she said coldly

"Fine i will bring it up and eat with you" i said

"Am not hungry Zohra" she added coldly, the way she said my name made me shudder a bit, "fine am telling Grandma Maya" i said and went away, on coming downstairs with tears in my eyes i met with Harees, who gently hugged me as i begin to cry in his arms, "it's owkey Z, its owkey" he cooed,

"Nuaimat, she is all cold, i am worried" i cried, "don't worry, we will bring her around, besides it's just eight days, it's still fresh in her mind" he said, i nodded and he walked me towards the dinning table,

"I said it she won't come down" said Lawisa sadly, "she needs help" said Jameena,

"Is not like she is going crazy or something, she lost her daughter, so it's normal" said Maha as she picks on her food,

"Zohra where is Nuaimat" asked Aunty Laila coming towards us , "she won't come down" i said, "fine we take the meal to her" said Aunt Aina forwarding a tray to me, "Aunt Aina, may i" asked Sabira to also everyone's shock, well even Sabira's arrival was a shock, she was one of the first to arrive with Harees, and their parents are yet to call nor come,  "am not sure that is a good idea" said Khalisa, Sabira glared at Khalisa and collected the tray and headed upstairs, well i just hope she comes out in full piece,

No ones POV

Sabira headed straight to the room she was told was Tanisha's, on entering she saw Nuaimat by the wall looking at a large frame of a picture of Tanisha and her, the two were in a garden lying on there stomach, the two face the camera with the same type of smile showing a mother and a daughter,

"You two look alike in that picture" said Sabira after placing down the tray, Nuaimat turned to see Sabira,

"All pictures i have seen, the two of you look alot alike, well except for the dimples" added Sabira,

Nuaimat kept mute, "you know you are not making her happy by doing this, she would have wanted you to move on and be happy"

"You speak like you know her" said Nuaimat without looking at Sabira

"Tanisha, wait just because you and i don't go all smiling and stuffs, that doesn't mean i am the same with your daughter, well all the kids don't like me that much, but my first encounter with her was after a row between me and you, i was up in my room when she came in" Sabira chuckled and continued
