Nu'aimat (COMPLETED)

Chapter 54 DEAD WRONG

Nuaimat's and Muayad's father left after a week, with no sign of Nuaimat coming around, after a month they resumed for work,

On their first day, Nuaimat rode with them but was quiet all through, on reaching the office Zaid asked "are you sure you are ready", she gave him a look full of contempt and went out of the car,

On setting her feet into the reception , the staffs there started offering words of condolence to them, but as they talk, Nuaimat was hearing differently, "your arrogance caused her death" , "you called yourself a mother"
"What kind of mother kills her daughter"
"Have you no shame"
"Shame on you, a mother who killed her daughter", Zaid noticed Nuaimat's discomfort and her eyes redden, she was looking at each of the staffs politely talking to her in particular, "Nuaimat are you owkey" he said touching her a bit,

"I didn't.....i didn't kill her.....i didn't" she said as he turned her to face him, she sounded scared, "wait what, no one said that" he said taken aback, "they.....are sayi.....i didn't.... i didn't mean too" she said looking at them as they all spoke at the same time,

"No no, i didn't kill her" she yelled out loud, making everyone to stop and keep quiet, all eyes were on them, particular on her, "owkey everyone, go back to work, enough, just pray for the girl, thats all, thank you" said Ubayd dismissing the attention of the staffs on Nuaimat who was now panting and was looking scared, they all turned away not until after they gave Nuaimat weird looks and glances,

Zaid took Nuaimat's hand to lead her away, but she stood still and then turned and walked straight to the lifter.

On entering her office, she was still panting and on dropping her arms on her desk, the door opened and Ubayd and the rest came in, "they knew it, they knew i killed her" she turned to Ubayd, she sounded scared as ever, "killed who" he asked, he his hands, shaking him and saying "they knew i got her expelled, she had to stay at home, she got bored, she fell down from the stairs, i heard them saying it, they knew Ubayd they knew" she said,

"Aima nobody said anything like that i assure you" said Zaid now worried

"Huh" she exclaimed taken aback,

"Yes, they were all praying for Tanisha, we heard nothing" he said approaching her,

"None did" she asked, suddenly confused, "yes no one did" added Zohra

"I thought....i thought i heard them" she said

"No no one said a thing" said  Muayad,

"Oh, then please, don't tell anyone, it should stay between us" said Nuaimat, they all exchange looks, "alright, am sorry For...for everything" she said dismissively,

"Nuaimat...... "no Zaid, let let everyone catch up on work" said Ubayd interrupting Zaid, with that he pulled Zaid and the rest followed them out,

"Is Nuaimat going crazy" asked Zohra as they reached Zaid's office,

"That will never happen" said Zaid

"But i think something is wrong, she thinks she is responsible for Tanisha's death, she feels guilty" said Muayad

"But why will she think that way, i mean no one ever mentioned it, or else" said Zohra and they all turned to Zaid, "wait you think, i will say such to Nuaimat" he asked shocked

"We know you may flare up and accuse her, we know what your temper can do" said Zohra coldly

"Now am hurt, i am not that stupid and senseless, i will never accuse Nuaimat for Tanisha's death, i have never thought of if that way" he defended,

"And you are sure you discussed it with no one, she may have heard" asked Zohra

"Are you deaf, i said i never thought of it that way, and i never will, i am not that stupid" he said clearly annoyed,
