Long Live The Royal Family
“Jalal your step-mother !She called she said she’d send you a letter about her journey!” The housemaid called.Knock knock.Jalal’s Maid ,Azamat went to answer the door. The doctor came into the large living room. “How’s my favourite patient?” “O.k,Doctor will I always be paralyzed?” The doctor sighed. “Yes Jalal” Jalal changed the subject “Mothers coming home in a few weeks.”
The doctor raised an eyebrow. “Really” Jalal nodded “The king told me he’d announce something about me on t.v” The doctor walked out,calling over his shoulder. “I’m going to talk to Azamat.”
His stare stabbed Azamat when he caught her in the hallway. “When are you blummin telling her!?” “What!?Tell her ,her Maid is really her mother!?Her brother is a prince and her father is a king!?” The doctor exploded. “What happens if the king and prince die?Eh? You gonna let the palace people waltz in and say ‘oh sorry for your loss?With the child not even knowing who she lost.They’ll all think she’s gone off her rocker!”
Jalal started wheeling her chair toward the kitchen. Azamat looked at Jalal as a daughter for the first time. “Jalal where are you going?” Azamat asked sweetly. Jalal replied “to the kitchen I’m going to ask cook for a sundae...can you prepare the elevator for me I’m going to take one up to big sister”
Faire came thundering down the stairs.Her sister grabbed her wheel chair and shouted. “We’re going to school.The two girls rushed out.Jalal winced as the wind slapped her face. She screeched “ why are we going so fast!?” “It’s our first day at -” Tires screeched....BOOM
a had crashed into the wheelchair.Sirens sounded in the background,already been warned.
The passenger in the car quivered as he got out to view the victim.He stared in horror at Faire and Jalal. My girls...would they find a king visiting them in hospital weird? The nurses came running forward with a stretcher.London,was stamped upon the ambulance. They grunted as they lifted Faires thirteen year old body into a separate ambulance.
The sirens dance off into the sunset.Smudging King Cuso with heartbreak. The chauffeur lent forward and muttered “We either tell her now or never.” The king nodded thinking about his wife,Azamat “it is time”
Two months later Jalal and Faire were both on crutches discharged,ready to go home.The King’s car was parked perfectly in front of their mansion.They all strolled in. Small sniffs were coming from the living room.The kings husky deep voice pounded the walls. “Come on Azamat!!We’ve got to tell them!” Azamats voice quavered “I know but I don’t want to tell her I’m their mother!!” “ Do you think it’s only you that feels that way?Huh?Listen as King I don’t want to tell them I’m their father either!” The King protested. Prince James hugged them closer.Azamat sniffed “look at the time!Now I’m late to pick them up” King cuso growled “Fine!I’ll walk you-” His voice was snapped off by scissors. Azamat wiped her eyes running out with her car keys.Azamat was startled when she saw the pair.Heads down.Tears cascading down their cheeks.Their blonde hair covered their blue eyes.Finally Jalal smashed the silence she glanced shakily at King Cuso. “Dad?” They all smiled as this was said.
“Prince James,a fair man of the nation,Princess Jalal,walker of the path of glory,Princess Faire,Princess of love and care,King Cuso,warrior of today and finally resuming her throne Queen Azamat!” A rebellious roar came up from the students of James’s Faire’s and Jalal’s school. A little boy came forward and announced loudly without shame. “Long live the royal family!”
