Flashback
Some years back






The sparkling morning dew lit up the grassy plains like a colony of fireflies.









Big pink-lavender grasshoppers sail away on the hot wind, the burring of their flight as dry and scratchy as the long grass and the baked black rock.

The former queen's chamber was full as Hajiya Babba summoned everyone  to her chamber to discuss something  very important.

As everyone  gathered  they knew that something is up but they prayed is not as bad as they think.

"I called everyone here to discuss something very important,"  Hajiya started .

"Muhammad it’s been years after your marriage to khadija and exactly three years as the king but there is no news, what I mean by there is no news is that up till now your wife hasn’t given birth."

"So as your mother I'm not advising  you it’s a command. I want  you to get married again to the daughter of Bashir Bawa because I want to see my grandchildren before I die."

" Or do you want me to leave like your dad without seeing my grandchildren?." She concluded.

Emir Muhammad raised his head for the first time as his mother finished  talking.

He knows that this meeting is not going to end well but why will Hajiya said that, he love his wife and he can’t share her with another woman.

Even if he agrees to marry again, he can’t treat them equally that is why sometimes he doesn't like things  related to royalty because you have to do things you don’t like.

You don’t have friends as they will say you are not equal to other people and if you ask they will say you’re from the royalty.

You can’t be like any other person that is why he prefers normal life than this kind of life where you can’t do what you want like every other  person.

"Hajiya I have tell you this and I will repeat this again, it’s not her fault."

"Allah has not blessed us with a child and we will wait for the right time, the time when Allah want us to have our own children," He said.

"Muhammad I'm not asking  you to  preach me, who are you to tell me Allah."

"I know Allah since before you were born, it’s not that I don’t like khadija,  I love her but I want to see my grandchildren before I returned  to my lord and I don’t want you to  say anything again."

" I’ve choose the perfect wife for you that will bear you children, it’s left for you whether to start preparing or not but as long as I'm breathing in this earth you’re going to marry Fatima the daughter of  Bashir Bawa."She said sternly.

Emir Muhammad knows not to argue again because if Hajiya said something, there is no going back but why can’t she see from his own perspective and she chose that girl for him, Fatima, everyone knows how disrespectful of a girl she is with no manners, and his own mother chose her for him.
