Najmah's pov

"I don't get you, my father?. What's going on?" I looked over at my mum who stood steal as though she knew not what was going on.

"Yes dear, I'm your dad and I'm here to take you home" king yassin said with a smile on his face.

"Shut up, she's going no where with you" My mum said to king yassin who sighed in frustration.

"Jiddarh how many times do I have to tell you this?, she's my child" king yassin said referring to my mum Who Looked as though she had lost it.

"Mum, what's going on here?" I said whilst removing my scarf from my head.

"I'll tell you, itvseems to me that she hasn't said anything to you " The man said while staring at my mum who simply looked away.

"Seventeen years ago, when you were born your mum and I got into a fight that led to a divorce and she took you away with her. I searched everywhere I could in other to find you. but it was all to no avail but on one faithful day, I saw your mum and you were with her. I went to her and I told her to give me my child which was you, but she refused. she even went ahead and filed a case against me, And she won on the agreement that when you're eighteen years you'll leave with me and I've come for that which I've been promised" He said to me, my mind was already off. I couldn't think straight at all.

"Mum, is what he is saying the truth?" I asked my mum who looked away from my questioning gaze.

"Mum, tell me. I deserve answers, don't I?" I said, holding onto my Mother's shoulders.

"I'm sorry habibty, I'm so sorry " My mother simply said with tears already cascading down her eyes.

"So he's my dad?" I asked and she nodded.

"I'm sorry" my mum said once again "I couldn't find it in me to tell you the truth" her mother said while holding onto my cold hands.

"I knew it, he wasn't my dad. and he showed it, he preferred usman to me. he wasn't my dad" I said while crying bitterly.

"Now you have your dad and you'll come with me" king yassin said while stretching both his hands forward towards me.

"I'm not going with you, I'm staying here with my mum" I said bringing a smile to my mum's face.

"Jiddarh make her understand" king yassin said.

"Remember what the court had said" "My mum said. "She has a choice to make, that is she can chose between me and you" My mum said with a smile on her pale face.

"And I see that you're also forgetting that the court had also said that she'll stay with me for one month. if she finds a problem with me, then she's alowed to go to you" king yassin said with no iota of emotion.

"Mum what is he saying?" I turned arround and asked my mum who nodded in affirmation.

"You have to go with him my dear" my mum said while holding onto my cold hands.

"But I do not want to" I said.

"You have to, at least after this we will be set free from this mess" My mum said slowly. Her voice full of uncertainess and great fear.

"Like you said I have a choice and I have chosen you" I said while placing my hand on my mothers trembling shoulders.

"But you have to go with him before you can chose me" My mother said.

"Ok I'll go with him, but promise you'll come take me back home after one month" I said.

"I promise" My mother said in a whisper while giving me a hug.

"But what about usman?" I asked referring to my stepfather's son.

"I'll inform him that you're gone" My mother said and I nodded while staring at king yassin who simply smiled my way.

"I have to pack my bags then" I said, I felt sad thay I would have to leave my mum. I feel so hurt.

"There's no need for that, I'll buy you new clothes and I have no time to waste over here. I must be in zazzau by morning" king yassin said to I and my mum.

"But I want the cloths which I have now" I said.

"Najmah please let's go, I'm the emir and I have to be there by morning. the sun will soon rise you know?" He said and I turned Arround to stare at my mum who nodded at me to accept.

"Go my dear" my mother said while wiping her tears.

"I'll miss you" I said while hugging her mother who smiled at me.

"Let's go princess" He said and I walked over to where he stood.

"Let's go" king yassin said to the guards who quickly walked to the entrance and opened the door us to walk through.

I hope my decision is the right one, I hope I am not doing something wrong by accepting His demands. I feel so scared. What if I chose him, what if I am not allowed to go back to my mum. I hope I am making the right decision.

"The road is quit bumpy" i could hear him speak but I decided to throw a deaf ear at him, I didn't want to talk.

"Najmah I'm talking to you" He said again and I turned over to him. And said "yeah its bumpy" I simply said with my eyes staring outside the window.

"you know you have many sisters and brothers" he said and I turned to face him with a smile. Oh how I have always wanted to have a sister.

"wow, I do? I have always wanted a sister" I said happily.

"Well you have many sisters. there's Afnan ,Nazhia, Husna and Hussaina" He said making me mutter a wow.

"How many brothers do I have?" I asked making a chuckle out of his mouth.

"You have four brothers, mustapha, mujaheed, Muhammad Noor and Mudasir.those are their names" king yassin said.

"Wow I_" I was about to say when a loud voice startled me.

"We've Arrived, your Majestys" the Driver said curtly. My fathee sat steal in his position while waiting for a palace guard to open the door. As soon as our doors were open, I set my feet on the great land of ZauZau.
