HIS CONFRONTATION
**MADOKS'POV**
I waited for Aamina all through the night, but I didn't see her, I had to send one of my bodyguards to check up on her, yet no feedback.
"Is she deliberately avoiding me or what?", I asked myself.
"What guts!", I rasped angrily.
I wanted a relief, I have been wanting her since she entered this palace, yesterday was good also, I had to taste a pure breed, right from the source.
It had been long, I tasted a pure breed, it was not all about tasting a pure one, but, taking someone even when the person doesn't want it, that's way much more fun.
"I hope it is not what I am thinking of, I hope it is not what have been running through my mind", I said to myself as I decanted the wine I had ordered one of my boys to mix with squashed almond.
I took the whole liquid down in a gulp.
I needed to check up on Aamina again, by myself, yes by myself.
I came out of my room, and was going down the hallway, when I saw a figure.
"Soo.... Where have you been all day...?", Madok asked, as he took in the state of her dressing.
"All dressed up, you are about to go somewhere orrr.... You are coming back from where you went to, which one of them...."
Silence ensued between both of them as minutes passed, no words were heard as Aamina bowed her head in obeisance to him.
"Cat got your tongue or what, have you tongue been sewed to the tip of you mouth.
I asked you a question and I can't get a reply from you...", Madok stated as he took two steps forward, towards her.
"Ermm- ermm.., I ermmm, I ha-have been so-so busy", Aamina stuttered as she fumbled with the hem of her gown.
That was one thing Madok loved about Aamina, her naivety.
He loved how naive and frightful, she acted towards him, that sped up his aroused state to a fevered high pitch.
"You were so busy with what, that you forgot I called you yesterday night.
Anywork you were supposed to do or work on was meant to be put on hold, because, I Prince Madok called you.
So what were you doing that made you forget to grace my call?", Madok asked as he stared at her intently while she was still fumbling with words to say, as he mouth opened and closed with no words coming out from it.
She kept touching the tip of the hem of her gown.
"I, I wa-was supposed to answer y-yo-you, but....
"But what, but what Aamina do not keep me waiting, what made you unable to answer me, even after I had sent my men to come check up on you and call you", Madok said boiling in rage.
Aamina had to say whatever to make sure he doesn't get to mad at her.
"The Queen, you mother, she called me, I was with her until 2 or 3am thereabouts, before she ordered me to leave.
I was in no stance to tell her that you called me, and there was no way I could convince her.
I am so sorry my Prince, such won't happen again.."
"Even until this morning, and yet this afternoon you did not bother to know why I was calling you?.
That is unbelievable, and that is by the way, you are acting so sneaky, where are you coming from?", Prince Madok asked.
"Wh-where I am coming fr-from?, I am e-er-er-eeerm, I am coming from..
"So Aamina this is where you have been all the while, and I have been looking for you.
Were you not told by the assistant chief maid that I was calling you?.
Did you deliberately refused my call?", The Queen asked.
She had been looking for her since mid-afternoon, with no one to prepare her bathing water, she had to call one of the random maids to prepare her bathing water for her.
"No my Queen, I was busy with laundry downstairs and only came up now to....
"Nevertheless, get going we have some things to prepare for, my friends are coming over we need to make sure everything and everywhere is well prepared, with the adequate foods we need to purchase...
They are coming from Switzerland, very early next week, maybe next week Friday or Saturday, guess we have a whole lot of work to do.
So hurry up and get going, call Khadija for me.
I wonder what she has been doing since morning that I couldn't get to see her.
Hope nothing went wrong?", The Queen asked, referring her questions to me.
"No my Queen, I will get going, and I will also tell her that you call for her, right now.
She has been busy in the kitchen since morning, ordering the other maids on what to do, as the king said he needs to go on a new diet.
MY QUEEN", Aamina said as she bowed her head, with her hands down.
"Mother?", Madok said.
"What Madok, please everything should be later, I am really busy right now, and I don't want you to come messing up my head, so please, let's do this later.
Are you still standing there Aamina, come on get out of here and get straight to work", the Queen scolded Aamina as she turned to face her son, she began talking when she saw that Aamina was out of ear and eye sight.
"I really do not know what you are planning in that head of yours, I really do not know what is going between both of you, both I hope it's not what I am thinking.
I hope not, Madok don't ruin our little chance, please, there are a whole lot of girls outside, who can satisfy your insatiable needs, not Aamina please.
Not her, if anything should get worse, and she should get frightened by you, she is going to leave and we have to start all over again for our plans to work.
By the way, she is too little for you, not like she is your class or size, she means and worth nothing.
I hope you remember that and put it into that thick skull of yours, remember, things should not go beyond how it is right now, if not, if not.
Anyways I have nothing to say, my Switzerland friend is coming over, that which you know, remember she has a daughter, you both can be a perfect match.
They have alliances, and they are very rich, so please think wisely and......
I rest my words here.", The Queen said as she raised her gown off the floor and began walking down the hallway.
Madok turned as he walked back into his room, pondering on what his mother, The Queen, just said.
"Maybe, while the courting week is here, it could help sort out all these thoughts of Aamina out of my mind", Madok thought, as he slumped down on his bed.
He wondered about her sneaky ways, he wondered what his mother would do if she finds out what was going on in his head concerning Aamina and what would happen, if she finds out what transpired between him and Khadija.
He hoped she gets to clean herself of what transpired between the both of them, as he would not want to take chances.
****AAMINAS'POV****
"Alright, so.... I am now the worthless fool and the classless idiot.
Hell is bent for the both of them, quite cool.
I will show them, what it is like to be a classless and worthless human being,do they really think everything is all about having class.
So now.... The Queen is trying to pair her son with an innocent young lady, so sorry for her, because none of her plans would scale through.
I would make sure, this would be the best courting week of his life, I would make sure of all of that.
Since they are bent on tarnishing and destroying me, I will make sure it backfires on them" Aamina said, as she listened to all what they were saying about her, she would make sure, this is the beginning and last of his courting week.
"Only if he knows what is in stock for him........"
