It was already 7:00pm, and I was ready for the party at Katie's club, I told my mum it will be at Tanzeel's house because if I was to tell her I was going to the club, she wouldn't allow me or should I say she might not allow me. I was wearing a black gown with a red bow, red shoes and a red purse and my seducing red lipstick. I wasn't putting on much makeup but I still considered myself cute uhh did I just say dat! Don't mind me. I was set to go, I went and bid my mum goodbye and came out to leave. IB! Ibrahim! I called out to my driver, na am Gimbiya (princess) he answered as he ran towards me, where is my car key? It's with me Gimbiya he replied as he was removing the keys from his pocket. Give it to me I said stretching my hands towards him, Gimbiya nayi laifine? (have I made a mistake?) please forgive me, he pleaded, no Ibrahim I just want to drive myself today, you don't need to worry I said assuring him. He gave the key to me and went back to....... I don't know, well I don't even care. I drove out of the compound recklessly, though I'm not that good at driving, I wondered what the devil is trying to achieve by pushing me to drive tonight, that crazy I must say. The road to the club is a busy highway, but I noticed a bike had been following me for some time now, the bike man was wearing a helmet so I couldn't see his face, I parked my car to clear my doubt but the bike drove pass me, Ohh I was mistaken, I continued with my journey. It was already some few minutes past 8 when I arrived at the club, I saw Tanzeel's car she must have been waiting for me. I still saw the same bike that was following me earlier parked behind my car. What the hell is going on I murmured to myself, the bike has a customized plate number 'AYAAN', Ayaan I called out the name. I shrugged my shoulder and headed inside the club. The party was already going on, I saw Tanzeel waving at me to come closer, why did you come so late she asked me as she stood to give me a welcoming hug. Welcome darling, thank you I had some few things to do that was why I came late, ohh I even thought you wouldn't be able to make it, so I'm here. Let the party begin baby yeah. We sat on a round table with some of our old school friends. A bar tender came and served us some chilled soft drinks, I took a sip from the cup in front of me....
The birds chirping and the sound of the morning breeze was immaculate, as I gently opened my eyes and sprawled on the comfy of my royal bed as the morning sun shined on my plain face. Tanzeel was the first person I saw as I lazily opened my eyes. My head was spinning as I struggled to get up from my bed, Tanzeel! I called out to her, what happened I asked her, my head was so empty I couldn't remember a thing. Just relax Amaal how are you feeling now? She asked, my head is pounding Tanzeel, I..... Princess! Rabi came in with a cup of lamonade, prince Ammar is here to see you she delivered her message and drop the lemonade as she turned to leave.
At the king's chamber
The King was already back from his journey, he was in his sitting room with waziri, Your majesty! I heard the King of bulkan ordered a war against us, he said the royal gem is supposed to be in their possession. I think this is a matter of urgency because Bulkan is a very powerful kingdom. Bulkan is the only neighbouring kingdom that can compete with us, their soldiers are more than capable Your highness, waziri bowed slightly. Bulkan king Sultan reapeted I think I know why he is doing this, he sent a proposal to Amaal on behalf of his son and his proposal was declined, his ego was hurt I expected something like this to happen, ohk tell the chief of army to prepare our soldiers the king commanded. Yes Your Majesty Waziri said as he bowed slightly, but your majesty bulkan is a very powerful kingdom if we are to loose this war against them they might not take only the royal gem but something else, I will leave now. King Sultan was left in confusion as of what to do.

Bulkan Kingdom
king Jalal was in his court where he sat on a royal chair, a man was shown pleading on his knees in front of him, king king king please forgive me, I won't try this again. Execute him! The King ordered, no one dears stand against the only king, the King of kings, king Jalaludeen. Burn him alive. He stood up and went back to his chamber, everyone in the court stood up and bowed until he left, his servants immediately followed him.
