   Sultan! (only queen Umaimah calls him by his name when they are together alone) you know Amaal have been getting many proposals lately from many princes, in fact she got a proposal from the son of king Jawad and you know if we are to make family with them it will be of our benefit, or what do you think? She also suggested. King Sultan nodded his head in agreement, I think we will have a better discussion on this matter after the party next week, because lot of Prince will be present, he added as they ended their discussion.
   At the Garden
I sat down on one of the chairs in the garden explaining to Tanzeel the man I saw earlier, Tanzeel you have to believe me I saw him. Tanzeel looked at me with an undefinable expression are you sure you are okay?  She asked, because all the Characteristics you mentioned are that of a jinn not human. But on a more serious note, let imagine you saw him as you claimed to have done, where could he have disappeared to within seconds. Ohk but still if he is real, you will see him again okay, so plss cheer up and stop behaving like Ms cheesy, Tanzeel teased. Tanzeel's words were not convincing enough for me, I just want to see him again. Ohk Tanzeel I have heard you let go to my chamber.
   It was night already, Tanzeel had already left, I sat on the cushion beside the window in my room catching the sight of the moon and thinking about my Mr red (the man I saw earlier he was wearing a red T-shirt) when I heard some noise, who's there? I asked but there was no response, I only saw the same shadow I saw earlier today walking towards the Garden. Mr red! I murmured. I immediately jumped off the chair wore my shoes and ran out, I ran towards the Garden, princess! Princess! I heard both Rabi and Zuleihat calling out to me but I ignored their call, they ran after me. No one is here, where is he? I asked myself while turning left and right searching for him, then he appeared again I saw him walking towards the river at the end side of the garden, I ran after him panting but he disappeared again, turning around like a lost sheep I wasn't even in my senses. Princess! Rabi and Zuleihat ran towards me panting, they must have ran after me earlier,what are you doing out here?  What are looking for? They both asked me, did you see him? I asked them back, see who? Am I the only one seeing him, you didn't see a man with a red shirt just now? No oo nobody is here besides it already late all the workers must have gone home Rabi replied. Not wanting to create more scene than I have already did, ohk I must have been mistaken then let go I said to them.
   I woke up by my phone's ringtone the next morning, I didn't sleep well last night, my head was heavy, I didn't even know when I fell asleep. I grabbed my phone and picked it without even looking at the caller.  Hello! It was Tanzeel, Ms red she said teasingly from yesterday's event have you seen him?  Tanzeellllll! Can't you just be serious for once in your life? I'm dead serious I saw this man again yesterday after you left. Baby girl you are taking this to far now, how can you be the only one seeing a strange being? The man you described to me is too handsome to be a human being Amaal, have you told the Queen about him? She asked me, no I haven't. Ohk girlfriend you know what, there is a party at Katie's club tonight, you can come enjoy yourself maybe you are having all these imaginations because of stress, you can just chill and forget your worries, you sound worried, Tanzeel suggested. Ohk I will be there. That my baby ohk bye she said as she ended the call.  I dropped the phone and laid back on my bed. Good morning princess, Rabi greeted as she came in with a cup of my favorite, cadbury. Good morning I replied struggling to get up from my bed, my head was spinning. Are you okay princess? I'm fine don't worry you can leave now. I stood up and went to the privy freshened up and performed ablution, I came out and went to my drawer, pulled out my praying mat I'm late for subh I thought, I prayed and got ready for the day. I took a sip out of my favorite cup and left the cup there and went out. I headed to the Queen Mother's chamber, on my way there I saw my rival, princess Mahek. Ohh the favorite princess is here so what can we offer you, my life? Haha she laughed. I wondered what was funny I thought, Mahek please I'm not in the mood for argument this morning please. Ohh really, I..... She was planning to say more shit, excuse me I said as I walked out on her. You bitch she said after me. Assalamu alaikum Queen Mother I greeted her as I walked towards her, wa'alaikumusalam my princess, how was your night? Alhamdullilah, ohk Masha Allah. Have you greeted your father? She asked, no I will be going from here. Ohk hurry up and go now I think he will be traveling this morning, ohk I said as I stood up and headed to his chamber. I was to late, he has already left for a kingdom not far from ours. I left there and and headed to my mum's chamber. Good morning mummy I greeted, good morning princess , how is my pumpkin  doing this morning?  I'm fine mum I answered as I rested my head on her laps. Are u okay pumpkin? Why are you looking so dull today? I'm fine. Are you sure? Yes mum, okay pumpkin. Mum I will be going out tonight, where are you going to? she asked, Tanzeel invited me to a party at her house and I will be spending the night there please mum don't say no. Ohk pumpkin but be careful okay? Sure mum thanks. That my daily routine from one chamber to another and then to my chamber. The King has four wives and over 15 children. His first wife queen halimatu (Queen Mother), she has three children, prince Ammar, prince kabir, and prince junaid. They are all married and they live in the palace with their families, queen Safiya, she has five children, queen Zahra, she also have three children and queen Umaimah the last and favorite queen of the king and she has only one cute child AMAAL. Mahek's mother is no more in the palace, the King divorced her after he found out that she conspired against him, that's a long story. She gave birth to three children before leaving the palace. That by the way..
