Jadwa

I didn't even know when an "ouch" escaped from my mouth but it came out like a whisper,

I didn't know where i was because whatever i was laying on was soft,

Than bam i heard Sultan's voice talking to someone and that was when realization hit me,

"Oh my God oh my God" I whispered slowly

I think i was laying down on the soft carpet on the parlor because I remembered coming to ask him what he wanted for dinner and then something happened and i fell asleep,

I opened my eyes and peeped to see him sitting on the giant sofa in the parlor,

"Am i laying on one of the sofas?" I asked myself and the answer was yes, but how

I decided to sneak out before he turns around and see that i was up

I gently tied my head tie very well because it was somehow loose revealing almost half of my hair,

"Where do you think you're going?" His voice stopped me right on my tract

"I.....i....i" I tried talking but the words got stuck

He then pointed at something but I didn't know what so I turned around and see what he was showing me I looked up and my eyes met the clock on his wall,

I didn't even know when I gasped, it was 2:30am so I've been sleeping for almost 6 hours

I didn't even know what to do because it was too late to even think about going out who am i? Who will even open the gate for me?

I turned to enter the kitchen because i was so uncomfortable with his presence,

I gently entered the kitchen and lightly hit my head on the drawers,

What were thinking 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

My stomach started growling then I remembered that i haven't eaten lunch or dinner,

Then I remembered that Sultan haven't eaten dinner again😭😭

I tried to rehearse what i will say when i get there

"Deep breaths" i said trying to calm myself down

I quietly walked back to the parlor to ask what he wanted to eat for the second time,

I met him sitting there still watching,

"Good evening" i said and no answer

"I'm sorry about what happened earlier please I didn't know what happened" no answer still

"I wanted to know what you will like to eat now" it took him minutes to look up at me,

He looked at me from head to toe then he said "I don't eat food when its past 10 and thanks to you I'm going to sleep on an empty stomach",

With that he got up and was about to go back to his room,

"Turn the socket off and for Goddess sake get something to eat you look like human bones with flesh and I don't want your death to happen in my house" with that he dashed away and I turned and looked at the mirror opposite me,

I didn't even realize I've lost so much weight and I honestly get food to eat but as they say happiness comes from peace of mind and my mind is not at peace at all so I think that's why,

I went to the kitchen and made some custard which i took small and slept right there on the kitchen floor,

I didn't even know it was morning until a loud crash woke me up from my deep slumber,

"But seriously where does he come from" i mentally asked myself when i saw Haidar picking the tray that fell off his hand,

"Sorry to wake you up Jadwa i was trying to be as quiet as possible" he said trying to sound believable

I just nodded and was about to leave when he asked me,

"Did you spend the night on the kitchen floor?"

I hurried and turned my head saying nooooo "i was just tired so i sat here and didn't know when I slept off but i came in earlier than usual" i lied and he nodded,

I made Sultan's tea and went back to start working,

I made waina for his breakfast,

"Umm Jadwa this food is amazing" Haidar said chewing weirdly

I just smiled and left there,

I badly wanted to take a shower because i stink so bad but i think i cant till in the night,

I went down to tell Amla i was okay because I know she must be very worried by now,

"Jadwa Lafiya?" She asked immediately she saw me coming to her direction

"Its a long story Am" i said to her smiling

"I was worried sick I taught something happened to you"

I hugged her immediately ,

It's okay I'm fine I just passed out yesterday night and didn't wake up till 2:30am which was too late for me to start coming back" I explained her

"Passed out??" She asked sounding so shocked

"Please Jadwa are you really okay?" She asked with a more serious expression this time and i nodded and assured her

"Amm I'm fine wlhy don't worry kinji" i said hugging her again

She hugged me back before we both let go

"You need a bath Jad you stink" she joked holding her nose

"I know mana" i said to her smiling

I went back inside and met Haidar and Sultan discussing in the parlor,

"Would any of you like anything?" I asked

"Any special drink from lovely Jadwa's kitchen" Haidar said and i just smiled and said OK

Then I looked at Sultan "how about you your highness?" I asked and he just said "water will do"

So i went and prepared my amazing chapman cocktail for Haidar

Sultan

Few minutes later she came back with a tray with two cups,

She dropped the water I asked for in front of me and dropped something I don't know in front of Haidar,

"Thank you Jadwa" Haidar said to her making me look like the bad person but I don't care she is just a maid

She smiled and left and i gave Haidar a questioning look because i know he is a play boy,

"C'mon dude you cant even help flirting with my maid" i said to him and he just smiled

"Honestly shes a nice girl and I really want to get close to her and know her better , she's having deep secrets and I respect her so much to flirt with her I just want her to be my friend or more" he said sipping the drink in his cup

"This is amazing Sarki you have to try it" he said handing me the cup but i just eyed him and turned back to our discussion,

The drink looked so delicious but I didn't want to give him the clue,

All through the days Haidar spent here he always compliments Jadwa whenever she serves us food and he always brings out that warm smile on her face,

"Warm smile? C'mon dude she's just a palace maid" my conscience told me and i came back to my senses

Yes her food is nice that's why I hate eating the normal palace food now and yes her pancakes are to die for and lets not forget all the amazing drinks she makes omg,

But whatever thats her job she's supposed to prepare everything delicious so I don't see what's special there,

But a small part of me feel a little emotion when i see her smiling because of Haidar's compliments

"Why cant i be the one complimenting her?" I asked myself and answered "nahhh you're more than that"

"She's just a filthy palace maid who is trying to use her innocence to seduce me but it will never work"

I mentally brought myself back to my senses and finished the company discussion with Haidar because he was leaving for abuja tomorrow morning

Jadwa

I felt sad when i went to sultan's chambers and Haidar was not there,

Even though he can be a pest his company is always nice,

"Make coconut rice and the drink you made for Haidar yesterday" Sultan said when i asked of what he wanted to take for lunch And yes he take lunch here now,

I prepared it and brought it to him then i went back and picked the drink from the fridge,

I gently placed it on the dining table and poured it into a cup for him, "Thank you" he said for the first time in history, I didn't even know how to react because it was somehow weird

"Huh"
