“I have not forgotten what it feels like to be in love, Loula,” she said sweetly. “The king will get over it, and as for your prince, he will be back before you know it.” She took my hand and pulled me toward the rose gardens. “Have you ever visited the gardens at night?” she asked sweetly as I followed her quickly along the brick path.
Torches were lit along the garden’s path, and as we walked, I saw the fountains, magnificent structural gems, that graced the gardens with beauty. Roses of all colors sprayed their perfume in the air, and all this beauty took my breath away. The queen turned to look at me, and I smiled in approval of all I saw.
The queen tugged my hand to follow her, and she led me to a place behind a big rose bush. “This is where Nidal hid from me when he was a little boy and knew he was in some kind of trouble,” the queen said sadly. “Now he is all grown up, and his attention is elsewhere,” she said helplessly. “It’s not easy being a mom and watching your beloved child grow up and replace you with someone else.” She turned and faced me. A tear slowly rolled down her face, and then she smiled. “I’m so glad he brought you to us. The king and I love you so much. You are a beautiful addition to this family.” She gave me a warm, sincere hug.
Her words touched me. I felt welcomed in the palace, and it was good to know that the queen mother liked me. I hugged her too. I was glad that Nidal’s parents finally approved of me. We strolled in the gardens a while longer before we decided to call it a night.
