Jadwa

"Events are about to start" Fatiti told Amla who was busy trying so hard to look good

We've finished cooking and went back to clean up and attend the get together,

Maids only have to serve the queen and king and caterers were hired to serve the visitors,

"Wow Sultan is like his exact replica" i said surprised when i saw the king

"You've never seen him?" Fatiti asked and i just nodded

It was like a wedding or a reception or something i cant really tell,

We sat on the stall labeled "maids" and watched everything from there,

It started with an opening prayer by Sultan's grandma who I've never seen but heard that she lives in the palace too,

The event was amazing honestly

"Who are those?" I asked Amla who was sitting beside me

"That is the kings first and second wife Ummah Jamila and Rufaida" she replied

"I know you've never seen them" she added and whispered "they're bad news" and I couldn't help but look at her with questioning eyes

"I also don't know but they never get along with Sultan" she answered briefly

"Its a long story" she said again with her eyes fixed on the cultural dancers,

Few minutes later i sighted Sultan leaving the premises with guards behind him,

He whispered something to one of the guard and immediately i saw the guard coming close to our tent,

"The prince wants his maid in his chambers immediately" the weird looking guard said and i just said bye to Amla and Fatiti and headed to his chambers,

That was the end if my fun time I guess,

I went in to an angry looking Sultan which was normal because I've never seen him laugh like a normal person,

"Jalila" i heard his voice calling

I just went into the kitchen and stood there waiting for the jalila to go and finish talking to him before i go in and ask what he will like me to do,

He called again then I decided to go and tell him no one is here,

"Are you deaf or didn't you hear me calling your name" he asked and i looked at him surprised

"I'm sorry" I managed to say and i heard him hiss

"I need something to eat" he said and I nodded and left

I hurried out to get the food for him and came back but he wasn't in the dining table so i took the food to his room,

One look at the food he stood up,

"I said food not garbage for crying out loud cook something anything but don't serve me the disgusting food prepared by anyone I don't know" he snapped and i just apologized and packed the food

I tried to make spaghetti and meatballs with zobo for him,

When i took the food to him he looked at it weirdly before he picked the fork and ate tiny then his expression changed,

"You can leave" he said quietly and I didn't say anything I just left

After a moment i heard sounds from the parlor which means he was done eating and he's out watching the television,

I went and packed the empty plates from his room,

He finished everything on the plate surprisingly so i just pack it and left,

I had nothing to do and I really wanted to go back out there but he specifically called for me so i sat down in the small chair far from the parlor and was watching the movie he was watching,

He looked so uninterested but whatever,

"Jadwa!!" Haidar called and I just smiled and greeted him

He sat down close to me wanting to start a conversation so so badly,

"So tell me Jadwa what state are you from?" He asked

I gave him the "why are you asking me" look before I replied him "Jigawa"

"Wow jadwa that's Amazing" he said smiling widely

"The Sultan's mum is from jigawa too he added

I just smiled and looked down

"Jadwa" he called quietly

"Why won't you tell me about yourself?" he said and it took my by surprise because no one has ever asked me about my life and it is a tragedy that I even hate thinking about talk more of talking about it,

I just turned my head indicating no

"Why" he asked and i just smiled,

I didn't know how to keep the conversation going so i just got up and was about to leave

"Fake smile doesn't look good on you" he said but I ignored it and left anyways

Sultan asked me to make what i made for him earlier for dinner again and i did and left to sleep,

I haven't been feeling good these days but i think its too much stress so it didn't really bother me that much,

"Are you okay?" Amla asked the next morning

I just came out of the bathroom and was about to fall because i was so dizzy so i had to lean on the nearest wall

"Yes just a little dizzy" i replied her with a slight smile

Visitors are still in the palace and i am the one that cooks for Sultan all the time now,

I can clearly see that he isn't happy about the get together for a reason I don't know and obviously don't care,

"Salamualaikum" i heard a voice saying from downstairs so I rushed down to see who it was because he warned me not to allow strangers into his room ever again

"Wa'alaikumusalam" i said as i went down the stairs

It was his grandmother who i saw the other day,

She gave me a very warm motherly smile that warmed my heart for a reason,

"Good evening your highness" i greeted kneeling down

"Evening 'yar Albarka" she replied patting my shoulder

I've never seen you around" she said as she walked and sat in the parlor

"I'm the new maid here" I replied and she smiled comfortably

"What can i get you ma?" I asked anxiously

"Anything cold sweetheart" she said and i was about to leave when she called me back

"I forgot to ask what your name is angel" she said and I smiled and replied "Jadwa"

"Jadwa" she repeated nodding

I hurried and got her a glass melon drink i made that morning,

"Here" i said handing her the glass as she collected it and held my hand

"Thank you Gift" she said drinking almost half of it in a go, I guess she was thirsty

"Tell Aaban Didi is here okay" she said and i nodded and went up even though I didn't know his name was Aaban

After a moment he came out and immediately he saw her he plastered a very wide smile which I've never seen for the whole months I've spent in the palace,

"Didiii" he said hugging her,

"What a cute teddy bear" I thought and left to give them some privacy

"Here" she said handing me a small box of sweets and i couldn't even hide the excitement in me

"Thank you so much ma" i said kneeling but before I even go down she held me up

"Please call me Didi" she said patting my back

"Ahh" she said getting up "old age" she said again repairing her veil she then limped a little before she started walking normal again

"Old lady need a massage" she said walking to the door before I heard Sultan's voice "Didi I'm ready" he said rushing down

"Good bye" i said escorting her to the door

I opened the door for them and they went out and the guards that escorted Didi followed behind them

"Jadwa" i heard her called and I rushed and met her

"Visit me sometime okay?" She asked and continued again "you could give me the massage" she said and i just smiled and waved her

I don't know why i love grandparents but she really made me happy today,

"Awwnn she likes you" Amla said when i showed her the sweets

"Let me go and work" i said to Amla and ran back to inside

I decided to make different varieties of juices before he comes back so I can ask what he will like for dinner,

Half way through I started feeling dizzy again and my stomach started hurting but I ignored it and decided to stay strong,

I heard the sound of the TV indicating that he was back so I decided to go and ask what he wanted me to make for dinner,

When i got to the kitchen door I almost fell so i had to compose myself, I leaned on the kitchen door for a moment before my vision became clear and i went out,

I greeted him and as usual he replied with a word without removing his eye from the tv,

"I wanted to ask what you will like to have for dinner" that was what I remembered saying before darkness consumed me and I passed out...............
