Pharaoh's Queen {HIATUS}

101- "Small Talk"

"I am saying she has been very quiet ever since you kicked her out and sent her back home. "

"I am making it clear that I do not want you trying  to form relationships with my family."

"I was trying to find out if you were not concerned. And Zahra, I think - "

"No Kiya. "

"She was really helped me out while you were away. I just thought you could have given her a chance. "

"I think she is fine where she is. Not with you, " Khai sat beside Kiya who was laying on her back looking up in the ceilings. "And I am here with you unlike the last time. Also, compared with how you were with Naeem at this stage is it not better? "

"I- well, yes but... "

"Great one more reason why I do not need to contact her. "

"Do you... " Kiya proped herself up. "Are you thinking that she is responsible for... all I went through. You are aware I was terribly sick way before she came. " She sighed. "We spoke. Just the two of us and she just wanted me to take care of you and I felt for her. In that moment I swear she felt genuine and I thought I made it to a safe place with her. After that I really wonder if she still has bad blood against me. "

Khai ran his hands through his hair. " Listen... I cannot say yes or no, the findings from your examination stated that nothing was found and you seem to have no clue if something was done. But you need to listen to me. You are my family. Naeem is my family. This baby is my family. I do not need contact with them to ruin that ok. "

Kiya sighed giving him a slight smile.

"So would you relax and listen to me. No more restoring  connections from now on. I have what I need right here. "

"I am hearing you loud and clear. I promise to stay away. I just-" She trailed off.  "I cannot help but feel guilty that I ruined bonds the way I did. "

"Them breaking is no fault of yours. You need to stop thinking that. That was on their own accord. Sadly I am good terms with Khenti but I suppose that has to be sacrificed to help preserve what I have right now. I will not forget about them and I really wish them good but that is as far as I am going with our associations. "

"I understand and I respect your wishes."

"Thank you. That is appreciated, " He ruffled her hair before planting a small kiss on her forehead.

"I should tell you. Thank you for being here with me for this."

"Of course. You know the last time was unavoidable and if I could have stayed I would not even think about it twice."

"I am scared Khai. " Kiya intertwined her fingers with his giving him a tight squeeze.  "I know I feel responsible if anything happens because I knew the risks."

"I understand your feelings but please take this one step at a time. I will give as much support as I can to keep you feeling your best. "

"Ugh my heart. I am not to have stress. Stop being so sweet. " Kiya jokingly pushes Khai. Resting her head on his shoulder she kept his hand firm in her grip. " I needed this. "

"Look how much you are simply radiating. "

"Have you seen how much my hair grew. Almost ridiculous. This feels no where close to what I went through with Naeem. "

"I am telling you this is just our blessings being given two fold. "
