"Did I or did I not tell you to be quiet?!" He pulled out his belt from the loops of his trousers. I took a step back, terrified. "I'm going to beat the living day light out of you useless child!" 

"Dawud you are useless! You are the worst punishment I've ever received! How can you get straight F's on your report card? Do you know how much that tarnishes my image as a mother?" 

"Don't worry Dawud. We will run away." Dalha whispered as our father's belt landed on us at the same time. 

"Read my lips!" She slapped my cheek and I held it, my eyes welling up with tears. "You are NOT my child." I burst into tears and was met with yet another slap. 

"You see? We should've aborted his pregnancy. This child is as useless as useless can be. I'm removing him from school."

"Oh, don't cry, Dawud." Ya Sajada consoled me. "You will be fine." 

"I hate you Dawud! You're a curse to me!" My mother screamed at the top of her lungs.

There is nothing you can do about it" Sarki Abusadiq said gritting his teeth. It's not like he asked Yarima to slit his wrist. He was making a big deal out of nothing and it was irritating. "Of all the conditions you could attach to me, you chose her? When you know I had someone all this while. She's not even Royal" he stated clenching his fists. He couldn't beat up his father of course. It just gave him an inner strength. "You know how this goes. My father gave me a condition, so did his father, and the father after that one. That's how it works. It's either this, or Azeem takes the throne." Sarki Abusadiq said adjusting his turban. The dresser made the turban too sketchy today. He ought to get rid of it before he gets a headache. "I've done everything you've ever asked of me. I've never disrespected you. I've never done anything stupid or wrong like Azeem. Why are you doing this to me father?" he asked trying to see if a little sadness could weaken his father's choice of condition. "Young man! Man up. You're a King! Sacrifices are meant to be made. Go out. I need to rest before the council comes. Choose wisely " Sarki Abusadiq said shooing his eldest son. Yarima left the throne room with slumped shoulders. This was something he never thought would happen. How could his father do this. Well he will make a choice! A choice that would surely work in his favor!
