[The ambassador (Dad) came back from work and met his wife (mum) sitting silently with her hands on the chick]
Dad:- Hey Dear! What's wrong?
Mum:- ambassador do you have to ask? Nihal is still inside locked. She haven't taken anything through out today! I kept pleading her but she refused not even to come out and eat. She even stopped answering! What if something happens to her?
Dad:- (went to the room where Nihal is and knocked) Nihal open the door!
Nihal:- (ignored him)
Dad:- Nihal don't be stupid!! Open the door now!
Nihal:- ( Remained silent)
Dad:- Nihal open the damn door now!!! ( He shouted and punched the door hard)
Mum:- ambassador be careful!!
Nihal:- Just go away! And leave me alone!!! I don't wanna come out!! Just leave me in here! When did you even start caring? Just go away and leave me alone to die! (She shouted in tears)
Mum:- Nihal stop that and open the door please!
Nihal:- mum don't you understand? Just go and leave me in here!!!
Dad:- Don't you have extra keys to this room?
Mum:- No I don't !!
Dad:-( quickly went out angrily)
Mum:- (went back and sat in tears)
Time;-6:30pm
[mum stood up and went back to the door to begged Nihal to come out]
Mum:- (knocked at the door) Nihal please and please am begging you now open this door! Nihal you haven't taken anything through out the day! Nihal don't cause problem to your health please. Open the door and please eat something!!
Nihal:- mum please just go away ! I want to stay here!
Mum:- Nihal!!! (She shouted her name and kicked the door) it's okay! You want to remain inside hun? It's okay! Just stay there! Since I,your mother can't ask anything from you! Do you think am also happy with what's happening? Judge it yourself! I've been pleading you to open the door since morning! And your sister, she left early in the morning! She is not back yet!! Just consider me in this, I am your mother and it's like you're trying to make me pay for all this. Because you're my daughters and anything that affect you affects me too! You, Sinal and your dad! You've no idea the pain I went through just today! And if this continues am sure you will just find my death body!! Maybe that will make you a little bit happy! So stay inside Nihal! Just stay! (She shouted in tears,went back and sat)
Nihal:-(opened the door and came out) mum am sorry!!! You should understand that I don't have any appetite for anything now! I don't think my mouth will be able to take any food now!
Mum:- it's okay dear! God! Nihal just look at how you've changed just today! Have you check the mirror to look at your self? Your eyes! Nihal you just have to force yourself to! If not it will affect your health! And Nihal crying or not eating won't solve the problem rather creating it by affecting your health. So just try and take something dear.
Nihal:- it's okay mum! If that will make you happy!let me make a coffee then!
Mum:- No it's okay! Just go to the dining I will prepare that for you myself
Nihal:- (stood up and went to the dining)
Mum:- (went to the kitchen and prepared coffee for Nihal)
Minutes later...............
[Ambassador(Dad) came back]
Mum:- where have you been?
Dad:- I went to check on someone who can unlock the door but I can see she decided to come out. Good for you!
(Nihal who finished taking the coffee kept shut with her head down looking at her toes)
Dad:- What about Sinal? She isn't back yet?
Mum:- Yes, I was about to call Siyam and ask of her. Let me do that now!
[on Phone]
Mum:- Hello Siyam!
Siyam:- hello mum! Good evening
Mum:- Good evening Siyam. How was your day?
Siyam:- everything thing is fine mum.Actually I was about to call you now.
Mum:- ohh! Really? Hope all is well with your friend?
Siyam:- Yes she's fine! Em! Em! Em! Mum I hope you know Sinal's heart is full of anger today! Though am trying all my best to calm her down! So mum I wanted to ask you and dad if Sinal can stay here for a while for me to help her ease the pain about what happened. Because mum even now I just finished talking to her about going back home but she refused. Am sure it's because she's very angry but if she can be here with me, I will try as much as possible to make her understand and she will be able to go back home.
Mum:- you see, Siyam, I do understand what Sinal is going through right now! So for me I don't have problem with that. Her father is here let me give him the phone so you can talk to him.
(Mum passed the phone to the Father and Siyam requested permission forSinal to stay in her place for a couple of days which he agreed on)
Dad:- hmmm! So Sinal don't want to come back home because of what happened! ( he smiled and went upstairs)
Nihal:- (Stood up trying to go back to the room)
Mum:- Nihal where are you going?
Nihal:- am going inside mum, I want to sleep
Mum:- Nihal you've been inside the room through out today. Can't you just stay here for a while?
Nihal:- No mum I want to sleep! So goodnight!
Mum:- it's okay! But please don't lock yourself in that room again! Am begging you Nihal! Just look at it, you missed school today!
Nihal:- I won't mum! (She left)
Time:- 8:30am
Mum:- we are lucky she just left for school
Dad:- who? Nihal?
Mum:- Yes She just left with the driver!
Dad:- Good for her!
Mum:- So you aren't going to office today? It's 8:30 already
Dad:- No, you know Mr president will be arriving UAE today for a summit and we expect his arrival around 5pm, so am not leaving till around 12noon
Mum:-ohhh! I get! Em!! actually I wanted to talk to you but I decided till you're less busy
Dad:- Am all ears! What's it about?
Mum:- Ambassador it's about the decision you made by sending that Mubar away. Actually I don't know why you did that but I was thinking maybe you've something in mind. But ambassador you should have talk to your daughters if possible call that Mubar ask him who he loves. Who ever he chooses the other should be patient but then you just sent him away!
Dad:- well, you see, I don't have any other thing in mind for sending that guy away rather than the peace of my family. And him choosing among them I don't think it's right because they're both in love with him and even if he started with Sinal first, Nihal admits he said he loves her too. So I think that guy is just trying to play with my daughters. So it's better that he's gone!
Mum:- I understand dear! But with what is happening, do you think your daughters will ever have peace?
Dad:- don't worry! With time, they will overcome it
Mum:- hmmm! I pray so!
