ARABIAN NATION OF ZIDRAA couple of days later, Zayed was pacing to and fro in his study. Basim walked into his study room with a dull look on his face."Bass? Did you get in touch with Salim?" Zayed asked anxiously.It has been two days since Salim left the palace with Camille, without informing anyone about his whereabouts.The council members have maintained silence as ordered by the Royal family. "No. No news. Hyder is trying to trace them" Basim said"God! Why don't we ever get peace in our life" Zayed groaned, as he took a seat next to Basim."Well, part and parcel of being born in the Royal family" Basim said with a disgusted scoff."I hope Salim is coping well." Zayed said, hopefully."Milly is with him. She is his foundation. Nothing will break him as long as she is with him" Basim said"That's my only relief" Zayed said"Zayed, Basim"They both looked towards the door and were pleasantly shocked to see Salim standing there. Both the brothers sprang up from their seats and r

A couple of months later, The Ahmed Palace was decked up like a bride for the their national day celebrations The Ahmed brothers did the main prayer together as usual. "Let the bond only get stronger, touchwood," Fatima, their grandmother, said, warding off any evil eyes with a hand gesture. After the brothers did the aarti, Zayed and Basim stepped back so that their sister in law and Salim could do the prayer. No matter what, Salim and Camille will always do it together first. They aren't going to change that tradition to please anybody. "Zayed, please hold Anya for a moment" Camille said, handing over her one month old precious bundle to Zayed who took her happily. "Awwlee Is uncle's cutie pie awake?? Are you bored?? Don't worry, you will have a little brother or sister to play with and boss around soon" Zayed said cuddling the baby closer. Once Salim and Camille did the prayer, Salim took his daughter from Zayed and cuddled her closer. Zayed walked over to a heavily pregna

*At school* "I will miss you, Emily" Zada said hugging Emily tightly. It was their last day at school. They might never meet the kindergarten friends again. "I will miss you too. And I will miss Zian also" Emily said and Zahir made a face at that Aaron stood there with a fallen face. His first crush is going far away. "Momma and Papa is here" Zian said as he saw his parents walking towards them with baby Zaif secure in their arms. Emily grinned seeing the wrapped up baby. "Aunty? You took the baby out of your tummy? Wow!!" Emily asked excitedly. The last time she saw them, the baby was inside the aunt's tummy and she was dying to see the baby after it comes out. Maybe I should tell Maa and Paa that I also want a baby, she thought to herself. Aveline smiled seeing the little girl's excitement. "Haa. The baby got bigger, so we took him out" Aveline said with a soft smile "Can I see? Can I see?" Emily asked jumping on her feet and trying to take a peek at the little one. "No.

SWEDEN"Just two more days" Zayed said with a sigh"We will take short vacations like this in the future too. Stop getting anxious about it. I know you are going to take a very important responsibility. One you weren't prepared for. But I am sure you will do it perfectly" Aveline said with a smile."I hope so" Zayed said"Where is Zian?" Zayed asked, seeing Zahir and Zada running around inside the house."He is outside. With Rocky" Aveline said"I think someone is moving in next door" Zayed said"Oh? Who said?" Aveline asked"I just saw the real estate agent who arranged this cottage for us. She was waiting for her clients. She said the deal is an almost done deal" Zayed said with a shrug."Papa! Papa! Can we have pizza? Pretty please?" Zada asked, running towards me."I want that one with cheese inside" Zahir demanded Of course, you wouldn't hear a please from him. Ever!"What have momma taught you, Zahir? When you ask for something?" Zayed asked sternly"But Zada already said it fo

"I, Zayed Ahmed al Zidra, hereby accept my role as the ruling Sheikh of the Sultanate of Zidra. I shall continue to preserve, and build upon the royal legacy and shall reign with righteousness for the benefit and happiness of the people forever" Zayed vowed, as he stood on the podium, with his right palm over his chest and his eyes staring straight ahead at the people of Zidra. "I invite everyone here to share my determination and work together for the nation’s prosperity and the people’s happiness as the ultimate goals" Zayed added His brothers were standing on either side as he made his vows to his nation and his people. The ceremony was followed by a large feast for the entire Zidra. The security has been strengthened as there were many people attending the ceremony, including dignitaries from the other countries. "Papa, there is a baby there. Zaif is playing with him" Zada said excitedly, pointing at the one year old baby boy playing with little Zaif. There was a green eyed g
