Jadwa

I couldn't leave him in the room because of his condition so I stayed up all night without even blinking,

Mami explained to me the next morning that she didn't wake the queen up when she started sleeping because she needed to rest,

"Go and clean up kinji i know it's been a long night" Mami ordered and i nodded and left,

I decided to go to the kitchen and talk to Amla,

"Jadwa Lafiya?" She asked immediately she saw me

I explained everything to her and then i went and took my bath and changed clothes then i came back,

He was getting better which made me happy for reasons I don't know,

"Ya Allah make him feel better and I promise never to insult him behind his back whenever he scolded me" this was my prayer all the time and i can see Allah is answering it,

"Saida safe Jadwa" The Queen And Mami said to me when they were about to leave,

For 2 days now I've been sleeping in his chambers because his mother didn't want him to be alone,

"Is there anything you need your highness?" I asked him after they left and he just said no,

"Wait!" He called when i was about to leave

"Here, read it for me" he said handing me what looks like a novel

I gently collected it and sat on the floor and read about 5 pages then I turned to see him already sleeping,

So I dropped it quietly and went to sleep in his parlor,

I felt a presence that made me wake up from my sleep very frightened,

"Sannu your highness do you need anything?" I asked in a shaky voice when i saw him standing on my head

"Tea" he replied still starring at me

I nodded and walked fast to the kitchen to make the tea for him,

I picked the cup and was going to the counter when i saw a figure standing by the kitchen door which made me gasp and dropped the cup from my hand making it shatter into several pieces,

"Sorry" I whispered picking another cup again,

"He scared me damn it" i said to my self

I felt his gaze throughout but i ignored trying so hard not to look at his direction,

I picked the small tray and headed for the door,

"The tea is ready" i told him when I saw that he wasn't trying to move from the door,

He then shifted a little bit giving me enough space to go out,

I didn't even know he was following behind me till I dropped the tray on his bed side table and i heard him whispered a "thank you",

As usual I didn't know what to say after that so i just nodded nervously and was about to open the door when he asked

"Don't you know its rude to leave a thank you hanging?"

I stayed there still before I didn't know what to say to him to be honest,

I was already too nervous and he's just adding it up again,

Then i felt wild eyes starring at me so I looked up slowly and caught the look he was giving me as if he was waiting for me to say something but i have no idea what to say,

"You're welcome" he said and I looked at him immediately and put my head back down

I didn't know what he meant so i nodded again

"Is the polite answer" he said again and I still didn't say anything

"You are too dumb for my liking" he said before going back to sit down

"Bye" he said in a vulgar voice and i just left him there,

"Phew that was awkward" i said to my self as I went back to my sleeping position

"At least he's better now since the insults are back so I don't have to sleep here tomorrow" i mentally rejoiced

I couldn't even sleep again and it was just 3am so I just laid there with thoughts running through my mind,

"Ya jikin Sultan?" Amla asked when i went to our chambers to get dressed

"Alhamdulillah he's feeling better now" I told her and she nodded

"I will sleep here today since he's okay now" I told her and she jumped and hugged me saying "thank God"

I smiled and continued what i was doing, we finished and went back inside,

"Jalila" Sultans voice called from upstairs and I hurried and went to hear what is it,

He still doesn't know my name and I still haven't found a suitable time to tell him my name is Jadwa not Jalila,

"I'm here your highness?" "Do you need anything?" I asked kneeling down

"And where did you enter?" He asked sounding a little pissed

"I went back to our chamber to dress up" I replied

And why was he asking me that? When did he start caring about where i was?

"With whose permission?" He asked again and I couldn't even stop the look i gave him,

"I'm sorry?" I said sounding like i was asking him but whatever

i don't even know what entered him now but he hardly gives me space to breathe,

Jelila here Jalila there for crying out loud that is not my name and i am just his maid not his wife, he should free me,

After all the attitude guess what he wanted ? Water🙄

I gave him the water and had to wait for him to finish drinking it all before collecting the cup,

"Would you like anything special for breakfast?" I asked him after dropping the cup

"Cinnamon pancakes with honey and sausage with custard"

"Okay your majesty" i said and went to the kitchen to do my work,

I served him but he still wouldn't let me leave to do my remaining chores

"Thank you" he said after eating and I just nodded but remembered what he said yesterday so I whispered a "You're welcome" loud enough for him to hear,

He then stood up to go back to his room I guess,

"Come in the next 10minutes" he said and dashed away

I hurried and finished some things then went to meet him,

I knocked 3 times and waited before I entered but he wasn't there,

Then I heard his voice talking on the balcony with his phone gummed to his ear,

I stood there and waited till he finished,

"I'm here your highness" i said kneeling a little to greet him again

"I need water to bath"

"He needs water to bath?" I mentally asked myself

I taught we've stopped that? He clearly said he never wanted to see me near his bathroom or else he will turn me into a cripple,

I snapped out of my thoughts and hurried to set his water,

"Its set" i said to him and left,

That was how the days always go on now,Alhamdulillah he is okay Atleast but as if the sickness changed something in him because he never allows me to rest, always making me do one thing or the other even something little that he can do for himself like passing the remote or turning the tv on,

Thank God he's going back to work tomorrow so i will have my own personal space for a while,

I was so occupied today rearranging his room, that he's tired of seeing his bed in that position so i had to change it,

His closet that he doesn't like how everything was arranged so throughout today I've been rearranging everything,

I finished late in the evening almost time for dinner and i have to make him dinner before leaving,

"What would you like for dinner" i asked cleaning the sweat that was rolling down my face

"Anything will do" he replied without removing his eyes from the movie he was watching

I decided to make the easiest meal which was couscous because i was so tired, thank God there was a leftover peppered chicken in the fridge so i just warmed it and served it with the couscous,

I poured the remaining in my food container anxious to take it for Amla, i miss our late night eating,

I met him already seated on his usual sit on the dining table,

I gently placed the plate in his front and turned to leave praying that he won't call me to do anything again because I'm so tired

"Jalila" he called and for some reason it always piss me off because I really love my name,

"Jadwa" i said which came out as a whisper

"What?" He asked

"My name is Jadwa" i managed to say confidently,

At least i do all his work so the least he can do for me is to know my name correctly,

"I know" he said catching me off guard......................................
