Chapter 54: Chapter 54
NOT SOMEONE LIKE HER
"Mother, yesterday, she was tired, what about today?.
What will you call her attitude for today?, Will you also say, she was so mesmerized about me that she could not speak to me.
Sorry to say, but mother, yesterday night, I was eaves dropping on both of them.
Lucy said something about her coming here because of Rashid.
Mother, you really do not know how angry I become whenever I think of that fool of a brother.
I keep asking myself why he gets everything free, he does not even need to struggle to get anything", Madok told his mother Amancia.
Even after they had taken their breakfast, she made no attempt of talking to him.
She only addressed the Queen and her husband before she left.
"Calm down and listen to me, I am your mother so you have to listen to every word I tell you.
Why don't you go outside, with a huge smile on, go to her, tell her you would love to take her on a tour round the Royal House.
If possible, you could also use the opportunity to take her out, at least you could take her around Al Zayed.
Don't you think that is the best way to spicy things up?.
You should not get angry by her outburst, you should not.
Ladies love things to be taken slowly with them, so you just have to be patient with them.
I am one and I will let you know, all my life things had never been taking slowly on matters concerning me, so you just have to calm down.
Just listen to me and get going", she ordered.
"Mother if things does not turn out right, I have to take you responsible for whatever comes out from this.
I will listen to you this once and go to her", Madok said as he turned around and left the presence of his mother, Amancia.
*********
Lucy sat beside the pool side, there she was checking out the recent pictures of Rashid in his Instagram page.
She wondered why they never got to talk since then, she remembered how little and playful they were.
"Or does it mean that he just forgot me, what about if he got himself a girlfriend, have you thought about it since you came here?", Her inner mind asked.
She waved the thought aside, enjoying the scenery as cool breeze whizzed past her face.
Her hair raised up and flew in the direction the heavy breeze had blown, she lifted her hands and tucked her hair behind her hair.
She took in the beauty of the Royal house, not like she has not seen a palace as magnificent as the ZADIRS', but this one was just so unique to her, considering the fact that her one time childhood friend whom she had taken in as a lover, was birthed and nurtured here.
It made her so anxious to know how he had made it through his childhood, through his teens and finally to adulthood, being a man.
She just could not wait for him to come back, so she could relish their memories of when they were both young.
She was so deep in thought that she did not notice the presence of Madok, he had been there for over thirteen minutes, although he was not there when she was glancing through Rashids' Instagram page.
She finally turned her back when she noticed someone's presence.
When she saw it was him, she slightly raised her hands and waved it at him, she turned to continue in her own personal thought.
Sh did not even fully acknowledge his presence.
"Hey, I can see you are enjoying the beauty of this place.
I myself do come here sometimes to enjoy the view of this place, and there is this special breeze that comes from the North Pole of the desert, which comes with a slight smell of dust.
My father, is the one that made it possible for you to enjoy this place better, while we were young, like very little, this place was never like this, but now... Take a good look at this place, does it not look appealing to the eyes?.
It sure looks good", he said as he halted to know her thoughts about here.
No words came from her as she just sat there looking around.
"Were you listening to what I was saying?", He asked.
She did not reply.
He had to tap her at her back, she had zoned out.
"Yeah, ohhh sorry, did you say anything?", She asked.
"It was nothing, do you want me to take you on a tour round the Royal house.
Mind if I take you around.... Infact anywhere you want to go, actually", he says with a deep grin.
"Gross, what's making him open his teeth so wide?", She said inwardly, as a frown of annoyance blanketed her face, within a flash it had turned to a smile.
"E-er-er-eeerm, why don't you leave it until tomorrow, I just want to have a little time to myself.
You understand right?, They are some things I need to get straight in my head", she said.
"You can always do that later, it will not take long though", Madok said, with his voice an undertone of fury.
"No, no, maybe later", she said again.
"You should do it now, because one day you will be taking our chi...
Let's take that tour right now", he replied.
Lucy was getting so impatient with him, while she seated here thinking about different things, he came here telling her he wants to take her on a tour.
Like though she ever asked him for one.
"I think I will get going, you should take that tour yourself and alone, since you don't know when someone really needs her privacy.
That tour will definitely suit you more, so you could help to relax your brain and learn how to get a bit of manners", she replied as she grabbed her laptop, stood up and walked past him.

"Aamina I am really confused, I really do not know what to do.
Which other step should I take, the prince is already suspecting something fishy, I just don't know what to do again?", Khadija cried out.
"You should calm down Khadija, just calm down.
Did you notice anything about Miss Lucy Robson, she does not like the prince, I see the way she always act around Prince Madok, she acts so cold towards him.
I don't think she likes him at all, do you also notice that?", Aamina said.
"You should always be prepared whenever he confronts you, do you understand?.
Secondly if any one should find out you are pregnant, it should just be one person to find out that you are pregnant for him, so that things would work out so damn well and that is the Emir, he should know after Prince Madok has found out.
Now we have to think and act fast, everything has to be played well.
That lady, Lucy, she dies not seem happy at all, she doesn't.
You know what they talk about an aggrieved soul, it makes the person hunger to do anything asked of him or her.
We could use her to achieve our aim, you do not like the Prince, I also do not like him because he raped you.
I am not only angry that he raped you, but the fact that you are my friend makes it worse for me to bear.
You should act cool, do not try to avoid him, whenever he calls you, yes, answer him, but you should always alert me whenever he calls you.
Let's be guided, I will put everything through", Aamina promised.
Aamina knew her time is still very far, but she knows she have to use anybody to make sure she gets her revenge and she was so sure she would definitely get it.
"Aamina I would love to ask you a question, if you do not mind?", Khadija asked.
"Anything Khadija, anything at all", Aamina replied.
"You seem so intelligent to be a mere palace worker.
You act so experienced, is there anything?", Khadija asked.
"You know I went to school very well, when my parents were alive, they gave me the best education.
So.... You see that is why I am very good at what I do", Aamina replied.
"Yes, I also noticed that, you are really the best in what you do, I hope you will cook for me one day, let me know how good your food is", Khadija joked, knowing it would be so hard for Aamina to enter the kitchen to cook for her, without the Queen never getting to know about it.
Aamina laughed aloud, Khadija immediately cautioned her.
"Remember we are meant to be in our duty post, so... Take the laughter down please, I am not ready for any of the Queen's talk", Khadija said.
"I still insist that the Queen is lovely", Aamina said, as she guaged the reaction on Khadija's face.
"I still don't like her", Khadija scoffed.
"About my intelligence and smartness, you are still yet to know how smart I am", Aamina said, while they were going back to their duty post.
"Sure", Khadija replied.
